How to Climb Stairs.

The climbing of stairs, which to almost everybody, especially those advanced in years, is very fatiguing, can easily be facilitated somewhat, according to a New York athlete, who says: To throw the body forward, bending at the hips, more than dou, bles the work. The weight of the body is load that the muscles and Joins must carry and they can carry it easiest If the center of gravity IS kept above them. Bending forward impos. es on the muscles of the trunk the unnecessary task of holding the load from pitching forward. This is like carrying load at arms length, in stead of on the shoulder, or on the head, as many Europeans carry bur. dens. The gentleman gives this ad. vice to stair-climbers: Do not lean forward. Do not hurry. Do no, spring from stair to stair. Step firm ly, leisurely, and keep erect.

As questions which concern the people of Apache county will under. go rigid examination in the courts, the Courier will, just now, merely re. mark, that apparent wrong doing and faction rows should be stopped. They retard the progress of one of the best counties in Arizona and lasten upon Its people a name for lawlessness which but few of them have earned. We hope Judge Howard will go into the business of fighting wrongs among Apache county genties in as thorough manner as he hewed to the line in the vile, polygamlc tree.- Courier.
