Bertha Won Hillern. the female pedes-
triaa. in an article in the Youths Com
panion thus tells "How TO walk"
Do not walk rapidly at tho start. Be-
gin slowly. then gradually increase the
pace until il is little faster than an or
dinary gait. then try TO keep the same
even step and movement.
In walking, preserve as upright po.
sition as possible; from time 10 time
make q new effort to grow little taller. to
straighten the back. throw out the chest,
hold the head higher, till that position
becomes habitual.
Never go from . warm room into cold
air and start suddenly into u rapid walk,
and never walk faster than can be done
with closed mouth.
The breathing should ba done in long,
slow. respirations through the nose, as
regularly as possible. A habit Of long
regular respiratioDs can be acquired. and
il prevents the lungs being subjected 10
too sudden changes of temperature.
Try TO acquire habit Of walking from
the hips-I had almost said from the
shoulder, which is really the true way.
The foot should be lifted not higher
than is necessary To allow it 10 swing
easily forward, and the knees should
bend just as little as need bc to permit
that swing.
Never walk rapidly aud then stop alb
ruptly, but toward the end of q walk, or
when about to stop for any time, slacken
the speed gradually, until it is quite
slow.
The effort to follow any of these rules
is perhaps tiresoms at first, but il will
repay the trouble. At first. one should
make the length OF the walk little more
than enough to feel really tired, but do
not walk uptil tired and then enter a
horse-car or cartilage to return home.
Begin with q short distance and return
if that does not fatigue make it longer
the next time, until you are tircd; then
gradually increase that until yOu reach
limit You would like for the habitual
walk.

A. t. stewar, 4 Co.'S DownfalI.

Speculations in regard TO the reasons
for the collapse et the great house OF A.
L. Stewart d. Co. are as various as the
sources from which they come. The
true cause of the failure appears TO have
been the fact that ex-Judge Hilton knew
nothing of the dry goods business, and
Mr.. Libby, with whom he was associ.
ated, proved that he was not progress
sive business man. Mr.. Hilton is a
lawyer, not merchant. He conld adj
wise Mr.. Stewart on those points of his
business requiring legal advice, but be
had not the training nor the genius to
devise and carry out the comprehensive
yet minute details Of great mercantile
and manufacturing establishment. He
needlessly offended the Jews by his
Grand Union proclamation, and yet
made no provision to make up from
some other quarter the loss which their
emnity was certain to inhict upon his
business. AS was seen by the conduct of
the branch in G Iicage, he took no pains
TO attach the rank Of his employees to
the interests of the house of A. T. Stew
art & Co. Everybody in his employ was
under surveillance and constant fear
of arbitrary dismissal which discouraged
enthusiastic service. The merchant who
fails in this must have q masters con-
troll of his business TO make it success.
In his life time, A. 7. Stewart kept his
business constantly before the public.
He sought trsde; while his successor
seemed TO fancy that trade would seek
him. The impetus which A. T. Stewards
methods gave to his business exerted
their influence for some time after they
ceased to be applied. But his successor
failing to apply fresh power, the business
dropped behind the world represented
by wide-awake and shrewder competi-
tors. A merchant must be constantly on
the alert to seize or make opportunities
to extend his business or he will get
left. He cannot succeed standing still.
A. L. Stewart & Go. failed because they
did not try to lead.

The Pocket Photographic Instrument.


Ny Correspondence Boston Gazette.
Have you heard of the instantaneous pho
tographic instrument? 1t is a great inven-
tion. This instrument Is no larger than
weli-flled pocketbook, yet it Is so complete
that every man can be his own photographer
without any trouble. The process of tax
ing the picture is as simple as writing. You
simply hold the instrument before the object
TO be taken and there 1t is. l belive the po-
licemen Of London are armed with them,
anG they fash their camera on rogue with
as much ease as you would q dark lantern.
No matter how swiftly an object is moving,
IL can be taken. know of one enthusiastic
man who claims that they will be the re-
porter's notebook of the future? For ex-
ample, be is writing an article on the Brook
lyn Bridge, and as he writes he uses his cam
era. When he goes home he develops his
plates, and consequently has correct picture
Of the scene before him. Indeed, he never
goes out of the house without his instru-
ment In his pocket, and he keeps his friends
supplied with pictures. am little afraid
Of the abuse of this invention. An unprin
cipled rascal seeing pretty girl on the ave-
nue. can whip cut his camera aud have her
face at once transferred to the plate. The
instruments are quite cheap-$lO believe it
is that they cost-so here is fun for the mill
ion. How pleasant when taking walk In
the country to reproduce the landscape for
ones own qualification or that Of those at
home! You see a lamb frisking by its
mothers side, and In moment, while Its
heels are kicking in the air, you have it down
before you. If were going to travel in Eu-
rope, should certainly take pocket camera
along with me. Any curious sight you can
reproduce in the twinkling Of an eye. 1

THE RAZOR-BACK HOG.
A Graphic Description OF the Bony Porler.


Tere Sitings.
To the traveller through Texas ore Of the
strangest and most peculiar features of the
landscape is the rszor-back hog. lie is Of
the Swiss cottage style of architecture. His
physical outline is angular to degree un-
known outside Of text book on the science
of geometry. His ears, or the few rags and
tatters of them the dogs have left, are curled
back with knowing, vasabondish air. His
tail has ne curl in it-but 1t hangs aft, limp
as wet dishrag hung out ofa back window
to dry. The highest peak of the corrugated
back is six inches above the level cf the root
Of the tail. He does not walk with the slow
aud measured step of the patrician Berkshire
but usually goes in lively trot. He leaves
the impression that he was late starting In
the morning and is making up lost time, or
that he is in doubt about the payment of that
check, and is hurrying to get it cashed be-
for the bank closes.
The country razor-back prewls around in
the woods and lives on acorns, pecan-nuts
and roots; when he can spare tine be climbs
under his owners fence and assists In har-
vest'ng the corn crop. In this respect he Is
neighborly to fault, and, when his duty to
his owners crop will allow, he will readily
| turn in and assist his neighboIs, even work
ing at night rather than have the crop spoil
for want Of attention.
He does not know the luxury of sty. He
never gets fat, and, from the day Of his birth,
sometimes two years roll into eternity be-
fore he Is big enough to kill.
Crossing the razor-back With blue -blooded
stock makes but little improvement. The
only effective way to improve him is to cross
him with railroad train. He then becomes
an imported Berkshire or Pol and China hog,
and il he does not knock the train off the
track the railroad company pays for him al
about the rate Of 81 = pound, for which they
are allowed the mournful privilege of SHOW
cling the remains off the track.
The ham Of country rszor.back Is more
juicy than the hind leg of an iron fire-dog
but not Qaite SO fat as pine knot.

A VERY SMART GIRL.
Why Miss Belle Clinton Expects to be
Worth Ss5,OOO in Ten Years.

Des Moines Letter in the Chicago Tribune
The smartest girl I've met in IowaI met
yesterday at Nevada, Story county, North
western Iows-Miss Belle Clinton. Miss
Clinton is bright-eyed, rosy-cbeeked girl Of
about twenty, IS full Of fun and health and
vigor as good girl can be. Two years ago
Miss Clinton was a school teacher. Saving
by her teaching about Sl60, she last spring
borrowed span Of horses from her father,
rigged up '.prsirie schooner" and. taking
her little brother, started for Dakota. Miss
Clinton says laughingly to day, speaking Of
her trip:
"Why, never lived so nicely in my life
and never had such An appetite, and such
courtesy | received everywhere! Rough,
rude-looking men would come TO our camp,
and, after had talked to them awhile, of
fer to build my fire and actually bring water
to me. We went up through the wheat
country, which they call the Jim River
country It's about 100 miles east from the
Missouri at Fort Sully. homesteaded 160
acres Of land. Then l took up timber
claim Of 160 acres more"
"What is a timber claim ?"
"Why, hired q man and We set out ten
acres Of trees. This gave me 160 acres more.
So have 320 acres now. But l must tell
you about those trees. They were young
locust, apple and black walnut sprouts.
sewed peck of locust beans, a pint Of apple
seed aud two bushels of black waluuts in
our garden in Iowa year ago. These
sprouts we're little fellows and we could set
them out fsst-just 90 along aud stick them
in the ground. But they were just as go,d.
| | believe my 5000 little black walnuts will
be worth SIS apiece in ten years. aud $40
| apiece in fifteen. My locust traes viii! some
time fence the whole country"
"We built shanty and broke up five acres
Of land; and this fall We came back to lows
TO spend the winter, and here we are. In
the spring I'll go back with more black wal
nut and locust sprouts end take up 160 acres
more. The trees are just what want to
plant, any way, and they'll pay better than
any wheat crop that could be rsised-only
I've got to wait for them ten or twelve years;
but can wait"
Here is girl who owns in her own right
800 acres of splendid black prairie soil now,
and who will own 4S0 acres In the spring
every acre of which will bring S. within
three year. and $40 within five years and $40
within ten years. Her black walnut and
locust trees will be worth as much more
At thirty she will be worth $25, 900.
