ABOUr WALKING.

No two of us walk alike. The hinges
Of our gait turn the same way. but with
different results.
The baby strikes out a toddle because
it hasn't strength enough to walk, but
it has the underlying principle Of nat
ural walk, because it "toes in" "Toe-
ing out" is military artifce invented
for the purpose of showing how much
more man knew than the Lord did.
The hippity, hoppity, skip-and-iump
is peculiarly the little girls gait. Un-
easy and restless, the futter-budget
seems determined to wear the sole of her
shoe and the soul of her mother out at
the same time; but she is the prettiest
picture of animation humanity can show.
The dead run, all out of breath, is the
small boys gait. You can set down the
boy who so far forgets himself as to
walk as already in his dotage.
The bound-to-have-it gait is rapid,
straightforward stride, never turning to
the right or left. The man who has it
knocks over children, barks his shins
against market baskets, and stubs his
toe against everything on the walk.
But he gets there, and his coat-tail ar
rives about two minutes later.
There is the slow, measured gait, tread,
tread, all day long. The man who car
ries the hod has this peculiarity down
fine. He would run to fire in the same
step and get there-possibly.
The long lope, thirty-four inches to
the step, with sag to the knee-joint, a
vigorous swing of the arms, is that of
young man from ruraldom. He gets
the walk from going over the rough
ground, and anybody that gets the best
of him has got rough ground to go
over.
The quick, sharp and spiteful gait,
with the little metallic heels ringing ON
the pavement, is the gait OF the smart
young miss, with bright eyes and lots
of vivacity. The young man who in
tends to keep company with her for life
must make up his mind to train to her
step. She will never train to his.
The everyday business gait. Going
right along with your feet, and your
thoughts in the Office, store or whatever
it is. You never know how far the walk,
OF how long it takes you to cover it. 1t
is an indefinite, and frequently the only.
aid to good digestion.
The take-it-easy, don't-care-a-cent sort
of gait, with cane twirling over his
finger, is typical man of the world. He
leads life of leisure, and wouldn't hurry
himself. AS a consequence he grows
fat, rheumatic and gouty, and in latter
years walks with two canes and tremu-
lous limbs. 1t doesn't pay to bunch
your pleasure.
The slow gait. For particulars send
small boy on an errand.-New Hauen
Register.

NUMBER l..


VIII s. Hays, OF Louisville, KY, has
made small fortune by writing songs.
Among his popular compositions are
"MolIe Darling" " Norah O'Neal" and
"Evangeline." But he got no money
from the latter, though it gave him
start in his business. "Just before the
war;" he says, "I was with some young
visitors up in Oldham county, Ky.
Among them was beautiful girl who
resembled the ideal pictures OF Longfel-
lows 'Eyangeline , so closely that Icalled
her by the name. We danced at an out
door frolic one evening, and soon dis
covered that four Of us could sing to-
gether. We tried popular quartettes,
and got along SO well that we became
enthusiastic. About 2 O'Clock in the
morning we started to walk home. The
night was as bright as day, with the full
moon hanging in the sky, and as we
walkedwe sang. We sat down in nook
to rest, and 'Evangeline began to sug-
gest other songs to sing. I'm write
song, said I, IF you'll promise to sing
1t before we go home This was agreed
to. On the opposite side of the road
was a white plank fence. Where We
were sitting party of negroes had been
roasting ears of corn, and the eharred
sticks lay all around. With them
wrote the first verse of the song on the
top plank of the fence, and the notes for
four voices ON the four planks beneath.
Then we stood off and sang it The
girls were delighted, and insisted on hav-
ing chorus, so wrote the chorus on
the planks. Well, we sang it over and
ever, and went home singing it. Next
morning 'Evangeline came down stairs
humming the air, and asked me to write
it out and finish it, I told her couldn't
do it, but she might go down and copy
it off the fence. She took an umbrella
and sheet of paper, and soon came back
with words aud music. Then she in
sisted on having another verse, so
wrote another verse, on condition that
was to have kiss for it, and she to have
the music"
Hays sent the composition to various
music publishers, but couldn't sell it,
and it was at length made public by the
voice of Campbell, the negro minstrel.
Three hundred thousand copies have
been sold, but the kiss was the only pay
the author has received.

A TxCTIM OF STRANGE COLNCIs
DENCE.

DENCE.
A merchant OF this city, who has taken
part in the Presidential elections of the
last forty years, has had the singular
misfortune to vote for the four Presl-
dents who died in oifice-Harrison, lay
lor, Lincoln and Garfeld-and never
have mdorsed any other successful cam
didate. Hearing of this strange expe-
rience reporter went to him for its cor
roboration. He said:
"I have always been Wing and Re-
publican, and voted for Henry Clay,
who was beaten. In 1910 / voted for
Harrison, and he died in Office. In 1874
1 voted against Polk, who was elected
In 1s4s voted for Taylor. who also died
In Office That was the first coincidence,
but never thought much about it. In
1852 1 voted against Pierce and he got
through all right. In 1860 I voted the
Fusion ticket as against Lincoln. be-
lieved at that time that the slavery in
the South was domestic institution
with which the North had no right to
interfere. changed my mind when l
saw what the Southerners were doing,
and in 1864 voted for Lincoln, who
was assassinated. This happening to
the third successful candidate l had
voted for rather staggered me. In 1868
I declined to vote at all-w-nos because l
was superstitious, but because did not
want to support Grant, and l would not
vote for a Democrat. In 1872 l had
moved my residence to New Jersey, and
was not entitled to vote that year. In
1876 / lost my vote, too, ard in 1850 1
told my friends that / did not want to
vote for Garfield, for if / did lie would
either be defeated or would loss his Life
in Office. They insisted upon nay doing
SO, however, aud it looked Ike such
close thing that was finally persuaded
and voted for Garfield. Now he is dead
and never viii vote for another Presi
dent if I live to be 1000 years cd.
'.And you are not snparstitious
"No. sir" the merchant replied with
some asperity, bat it Is very strangs
series of condolences, and I don't wan
to prolong ii. Now. / want you to
promise me that you VIII not publish
my name. !"

Early Spring Costumes.

Early spring costumes have al
ready appeared, and among these
are the stylish and serviceable
tweed suits made up in number Of
different ways. First are those
with plain skirt, trimmed around
the foot with a ruching, pinked out
on each edge, and over this skirt is
to be worn q "redingote john of
the same goods, fastened with gilt
buttons, and also trimmed down
each side and around the lower edge
with narrow pinked ruehe. Next
are kilt skirts of tweed, joined to
jersey bodices of a monochrome
color. with a scarf drapery of tweed
covering the joining of skirts and
bodice. Over the shoulders is q
pelerine of the tweed, lined with
surah the shade of the jersey. Last
ly are the jaunty styles for young
ladies who aspire to be natty and
the picturesque. Here is a model
of one of the latter description:
The pattern is plaid in light and
dark green, with interesting hair
lines of dark cardinal. The skirt is
arranged in three founces, LAID in
fat box -pleats, with hem turned up
on the right side and finished with
a piping of cardinal silk. Over
this is very graceful Hungarian
tunic, also piped with cardinal.
The tweed coat is in Louis XIV.
style, with waistcoat of cardinal.
At each side are wide pocket flaps.
These flaps and the front of the
waistcoat are frightened by large
silver aud enameled buttons, the de-
signs being dogs, foxes and deer's
heads. Around the edge of each
button is narrow rim OF dark car
dinal enamel. The cuffs of the JACK
ct are piped with cardinal aud are
three in number, placed one above
the other.
For the promenade or travelling
wear is added long pelisse, made
of the tweed and lined with cardinal.

AN IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTED.

The common, sense plan Of pun
ishing by the lash criminals who
arc guilty of assaults or women and
children should be adopted in this
country. The lash is used on GER
tain classes of criminals in England
with most beneficial effects to soc;e-
ty at large. Brutal and indecent
assaults are multiplying all over the
United States, but il, in addition to
other penalties, the lash were used,
hey would become very rare. We
read continually of women being
beaten nearly to death by their
drunken husbands, and of still more
outrageous assaults on defenceless
women and children. Every assault
of this character, if it is case
where the death penalty is not in
tiicted, should be punished by a
long term of Imprisonment, which
should be accompanied by forty
lashes on the bare back to begin
with. We are not in favor Of pun
shing petty larceny with the whip
ping post, as is done in Delaware,
for that class of offences can be con
trolled by milder means, but there
arc other classes of crimes that are
rampant, aud which, apparently,
are not to be checked by any milder
means than the whipping post. The
lash seems to be the only thing that
can put stop to certain classes of
criminal acts that appear to become
epidemic from time to time.
When it comes to furnishing
crime, things are managed much
more effectually in England than in
this country. The English judges
and juries are not hampered with
any sentimental nonsense when it
comes to furnishing hardened, or
even influential, criminals. If III
Europe a man commits murder, he
receives fair and speedy trial, and
il found guilty he is punished
without an opportunity to pose as a
hero. No alleged ladies are allowed
to visit him and present him with
flowers in his cell. The tendency
in this country to worship and glo-
rifv criminals is the most discanr
aging sign of the times. Heretofore,
it has only been in such semi barba-
ric countries as Italy and Spain that
robbers and murderers enjoyed any
mentionabIe degree Of popularity.
The homage paid such men as Frank
James and Polk must nauseate be-
yond expression every true Ameri-

BELLS ON sHEEP.

Mr.. James S. Grinnell, writing in shs
Springfield Republican of bells on
sheep as a protection against dogs, gives
this illustrative experience
GA good farmer in Leyden, Mass.
who keeps about q dozen excellent
Southdown ewes, always belled, was
grieved and surprised one morning to
find that dogs had raided his flock,
killed two, mangled others, and scat
tered the rest. On collecting his little
flock into the yard after days search
he found that the tongue was lost from
the bell. This was replaced, and never
since have bis sheep been worried. The
experiment is SO simple and cheap that
it is worth trying" /"
