They Were Physiealty Inferior to Soldier
of the Preaeut.
The popular tendency to enlarge
everything that is far off and belittle
that which is so close by is responsible
for the opinion that the men of the
present time are degenerate reductions
of the men of medieval times, who
were giants clad in iron and with
muscles of steel. The Paris Figaro
thus shows the absurdity of this
opinion:
Our learned physiologists., alter hav
ing measured hundreds of skeletons,
testify that the men of our times are
from one to two centimeters taller than
the men of the middle ages.
. . We possess their war garments, and
it .turns out that we appear not only to
have grown taller since the time when
these were manufactured, but our
shoulders could never fit into the steel
corslets of our so-called athletic fore
fathers. The superintendent of the museums
under the Second empire, wishing to
put on the armor of Francis I., the
largest of all in the Museum of Artillery,
was unable to do so. It was too small
for him, though ho was in no sense a
a giant.
And hero is another example. In
Switzerland, - recently, on the occasion
of a gymnastic tournament, the young
men, wishing to close the festivities by
a procession with historical costumes,
borrowed the arms and armor of the
arsenal.
But it is evident that their ancestors,
people of little foresight, never thought
of their grandchildren, and theso
grandchildren wero unable to put on
the armor. H was too small for them.
So much for the stature of our an
cestors. As to their supposed strength,
we have no proof beyond tho weight of
the equipment of the men-of-arms.
But the harness of the knights was
very much lighter than has commonly
been supposetl. According to one of
the catalogues of tho Museum of Ar
tillery the weight of the complete
armor did not, us a rule, exceed fifty
pounds, and inasmuch as those who
wore it were horsemen, it was the
horse that had to bear the greater part
of the fatigue.
D00 WORSHIP IN FRANCE.
Th Darling fats Are Surrounded with
Every Comfort.
A new religion has sprung up in
France that of dog worship. These
darling pets of smart womea have a
charming time of it when they at, not
being vivisected by brutal m'ieiiti.lo
men, as is often tho case; for pet dogs,
like refined people, are peculiarly sen'
sitive, their nerves ss well j their
tastes being ultra-developed. The prize
favorite of his doting mintress Is firmed

CHICAGO'S FISH SUPPLY.
How It Is Affected by the Finan
cial Stringency. ,
Hard Time Have Caused the People to
Economise on Their Blast Bills
Where the Fish Are Frln.
elpally UbUtnad.
The report of a shortage of 13,000,000
bushels in the oyster crop of Chesa
peake bay does not disturb the equa
nimity of the Chicago dealers. ' t
"Our business is mostly ia fish this
winter," one of them declares. "Hard
times have caused people to econo
mize on high-priced oysters and meats
and turn to fish as the staple food.
Fish are very cheap and plentiful.
Chicago eats 80,000,000 pounds of lake
fish and 6,000,000 pounds of ocean fish
annually. The lake fish were caught
and frozen last fall, and so long as
they remain in ice continue as fresh as
when taken from the water. How
ever, if anyone demands a newly
caught fish, the Mackinaw fishermen
are sending down choice trout daily
taken from the straits.
"As to oysters, the crop of Balti
more and New York might totally fail
without embarrassing the public in
the least or raising the price of the
bivalve.
"The Gulf of Mexico produces fully
as fine flavored oysters as are taken
anywhere. Many people like the gulf
oyster best New Orleans could easily
supply the world with oysters, as its
coast environment is enormously pro
lific in oysters, delicious crustaceans,
and fishes. These gulf edibles are
sent north in refrigerator cars which
have conveyed dressed beef south.
They also come by express. The fail
ure of the fish and oyster crop would
be a great boon to the gulf coast
trade."
The fishmonger mentioned that tho
Pacific codfish had Invaded tho Chi
cago market to the detriment of the
Maine-Massachusetts' name al;o. There
is no difference in the appenrnnce of
the rivals, but epicures think t he Pa

is now shipped to MuhshcIiuim'Uh, sailed
and sent out as Atlantic cod. No one

A popular fish in Chicago Is the red

and called by many the gulf cod. It is

ODD CONCEITS AEOUT JEWELS.
Empress Eugenie Always Refused to Wear
Opals.
The fancy for having one's birth
month stone introduced as a mascot In
all possible designs has led to some
quaint and pretty conceits in tho way
of spoons, which have set in tho han
dles in unique and effective fashion
tne stones assigned by superstition to
the various months, says the Great
Divide. Thus January has the garnet
imbedded among fanciful tracery of
silver, February the amethyst, March
has the blood-stone, April the diamond,
May the emerald, June the agate,
July the ruby, August the sardonyx,i
September the chrysolite, October tha
opal, November the topaz and Decem
ber the torquoise, while the pretty su
perstitions attached to the moonstone .
make it a favorite at all times. It is
said of a famous actress that she never
appears upon the stage that some
where about her person is not to ba
found one of these Indian gems..
When the birth-stone happens to be a
secondary gem it is put in a seal, and,
mounted with the monogram or crest
of the owner, exercises its occult influ
ence over the letters sent out from
my lady's boudoir. t
It is said that Queen Victoria haa
tried to set at defiance the old supersti
tion about the opal, and that she has
given many opals as presents, while of
the unfortunate Empress Eugenie it is
written that the has always refused to
wear the stone. The old legend tells
a story of an opal belonging to a
Roman senator which was coveted by
Marc Antony, yet rather than part
with it the records say that the sen
ator went into voluntary exile, prefer
ring to part with his country rather
than lose his gem. The modern preju
dice against this beautiful stone seems
not to have prevailed' among the an
cients, who believed that it strength
ened sight, made its wearer lovable,
dissipated melancholy and paled at tha
approach of poison, 1
That Sir Walter Scott shared tha
prejudice of modern times against the
oral seems Indicated in "Anne of Oeler
stein." Anne's grandfather married a
ludy, so the tale reads, w ith a wonder
ful opal. On the day of christening
their child the opal first, glowed, then
