SUSQUEHANNA'S FUTURE.
In a letter to the Susquehanna board

or the Erie Railroad company, says,
among other things: "The Erie rail
road has In the past, and will in the
future continue to manifest In a sub
stantial way Its appreciation of the ad
vantages of Susquehanna as the point
for Us principal shops. In our
opinion, no Injury has been done Sus

to be done at Susquehanna shops will
be materially increased and in tho near
future you will find that whatever
benefits your city may now be receiv
ing from the presence of our shops at

of diminished."

"The tailor who spends his life in
taking human measurements could
probably tell an Interesting story about
the decline physically of men and wo
men," said a man who takes a tlecn
Interest In physical culture and other
processes of tending lo arrest deterior
ating conditions. "I doubt If the meas
urements taken by tailors will show
many perfect men und women. Too
many men are wearing 14 collars mid
too many women are short on waist
dimensions. I was glancing through
Fourinan's book u few days ago, and 1
was struck by the dimensions agreed
upon by tho best aud most authentic
authorities for physical perfection In
both man and woman. Take the meas
urements, for instance, of the perfectly
proportioned man, with a height of G
feet 21s Inches; girth of chest, 40 Indies;
girth of waist, 3S Inches; length of
upper leg, IT'.i Inches; length of lower
leg, His Inches; largest girth of thigh,
221a inches; girth of calf, (i inches;
length of arm, 2fi Inches, and weight,
11)0 pounds. Go to the tailor and ask
him how many men come up to this
standard. I Imagine that one would
spend much time before llnding the
perfect physical conditions In conjunc
tion with a single man,
"The fact of the business Is, that
thost) proportions are the result of
Ideallstlo theorizing, A muu would be
perfect, Indeed, physically, who could
even show a reasonable approximation
of this standard. Our tailor's records
would probably disappoint us badly,
and. wo would likely become conllrmed
believers In the doctrine of physical de
generacy in so far as members of our
sex Is concerned, Man has been dwind
ling somewhat even In tho range of
one's own memory. One nped not go
to the tailor's nor to tho vast wealth of
statistics which have been compiled by
persons who tako a peculiar interest in
man's physical aspect. One Is conscious
of being smaller than one's father, aud
less rolniHt, and lacking In that hardi
ness of temperament found in the sire
and grandslre. Yet the tailor's record
will probably Bhow a few Isolated In
stances where men have preserved tho
proportions found In the physical meas
urements or tho perfect man. And this,
after all, Ib the goal toward which
physical culture Is drifting, It is not
so much a question of larger men In
stature, but ruther a question of men
moru perfectly balanced physically
men whoso parts will approximate at
leust tho equilibrium found In the per
fect measurements of tho physical cul
ture doctrinaire. If ono must weigh 100
pounds, and stand up to a height of
over six reet, one might as well glvo up
on the start. Hut one may at least an-
proximate tho Ideal proportions, and
this is what physical culture proposes
to do."
