Ii the’ present opportunity is realized oi l bringing to Charlottetown the entirci Brigade for training ‘this year, it will ‘be a most satisfactory arr ement- to the people of- this Province and, we believe, to the military units as well.

Durinll the same year we learn that “Ihom- as Anvil cork'd ye great whale boat in order for sea"; that “by order of Mr. Allan. Geddes and myself at- tempt to make a pair oi stocks by way of prison."

The diary, a parchment-bound vol- ume deeply browned with age, is now the property of the author's great-gr ndscn. Mr. C. B. Ohappell, of this city, who naturally values it very highly. As Mm. Maclieod well says in her introduct‘ , "it is, in reality, an account book or Journal. where a skilled and upright artisan kept a strict account o! the daily task; but. because of the prominent part borne by this man in the civil and religious life of his time, and because of the little footnotes of hu- man interest that creep in beside the bare record oi days of toil, this document is a veritable window op- ening upon a scene that is well-nigh forgotten."

The susmtion has been made that as ﬁngerprints are easily and cheap- ly produced every one should be pre- pared for identiﬁcation by this means.

I have sbﬁlen before about three WW8 of.llhyslqua_ (a) Whore body was short and narrow and 1085 long. (b) Where body was lojlg and broad and, legs short. (c) Where there was a fairly wide and lone body. and a lairly long pair of legs. ’

The idea was to try and point out what was likely or rather more likely to happen to each, class as iar as all; meats were concerned. _

The dndividual with the narrow body and 1on3 legs was likely to have a tendency to chest ailments, chest narrow also not enough room for stmnach to lie croaaways in the ab- domen; likely to hang low,‘ and have stomach trouble. y

Now as stomach is important from dlgestiv and building up stand- point, this is a serious matter be- cause chest andiuberculoeia condi- tion require plenty oi good nourishing ‘food. .

With the long wide body and the short legs, the tendency would be to eat too much. hence kidney, liver and heart conditions would be more like- ly to ensue.

A group of New York physicians studying the matter, have gone much farther and are trying to work out the classiﬁcation according to the all round constitution or the indivi- dual. _

One idea was from the race stand- point, They felt that this would/be rather diﬂlcult, because in the hos- pital where they were studying this mailer, were three oases, lying side by side, of perforated ulcer oi the stomach. The likeliness oi the three rrom a physique standpoint was striking, the measurements and pro- portions b61118 almost exactly alike.
