With that the aquatic patriarch thrust
his head out of one of the atorin doors of

rains Noah saw drenchod aud chilled
human being perched ont on the topmost
bough of the tree, and second glance

"Well, neighbour" suggested Noah

The detective and Lacouse started fol

When II miles of Newport, Mass, on
the night of May 9Th, Lacouse suddenly
disappeared from the vessel. A most
thorough search failed to find the fugitive
and il was concluded that LaconRe had

Y he COmmOn-Scnse of Using the
Upper Part of the Body.
The relation of exercise to health is
plain, writes Helen Clark Swazey in Good
Housekeeping. Any part that is not used
gradually wastes and atrophies The
fishes in Mammoth Gave have no use for
eyes in that darkness and nature shows
her disapproval of sinecure positions BY
taking away their organs of sight. But,
similarly, the over-use of part attracts
to that part more than its share of nutri-
ment, and congestion or hyperesthesia re-
suits. If, then, the nerves are over sen-
sitive, the circulation should be diverted
into the muscles. Disease seldom finds d
Judgment when there is free and unim-
peded circulation of the blood to every
part of the body.
Nearly the sum total of exercise taken
by those not engaged in manual labor, is
restricted to the lower part of the body,
while the upper two. thirds which contains
the vital organs is almost wholly neg
lected. Thus it is that we are flat -chested
and subject to pulmonary difficulties, and
for want of exercise the muscles which
support the internal organs are lll.nour-
ished and faced, and yield to any sudden
StAhiai vi oOhipblLuSS, hiulOot hDOulhue-
ously, it would seem, collapse. Given a
we'll conditioned body, very little exer-
else, il taken regularly and systematically,
will keep it SO, but without the expendi-
ture of physical power, physical strength
cannot be gained.
Systems of exercise are often criticized
as artificial. 1t is, of course, of no more
value to any one that he should be able
to swing clubs or to go through dumb
bell drill correctly for its own sake than
that business man should be able to re-
peat Newton's Binomial Theorem or de-
monstrate on demand proposition of
Euclid, but the discipline previously
gone through, is mental capital on the
one hand and physical capital on the
other. If n scheme of exercise was ever
needed to bring into harmonious relations
the different parts of the body and tC
maintain the equilibrium between them
it is needed here in America, the centre
of nervous life and activity. Such n sys
tenn is attainable and practicable.

DnmooBAr1o WAYS,



Washington Letter TO the Baltimore American.
K ia amusing 20 hear the diplomats
from all parts Of the world now in
preaching marriage. There are great
many things connected with the coming
event which they cannot understand. A
lot of them got together and discussed
the question to-day. They feel that they
should do something TO celebrate the
event, but since none of them nave invi-
tations 10 be preseut, they fear TO move,
least they offend His Exeellency. The
diplomats cannot understand why the en-
gagement was kept such a profound
secret, nor why the announcement came
no near 10 the date of the wedding day.
Then the bride coming to the groom to
get married puzzles them beyond measure.
They understand that in America the
groom usually goes OTTER the bride. And
they are at loss to understand the Presi-
dents movements. Indeed, the diplomats
are worried. They are afraid Of commit
ting some awful improperly, such as fail.
ing to take proper recognition of the
event and yet they don't know what
would be the proper thing. A matter
which perplexes them most is whether
they shall congratulate MIR. and Mrs.
Cleveland, and how. They fail to see
why the President is not publicly mar
ried, and why theyare not asked to assist.
A private wedding at some other place,
they say, they could understand. II the
President had arranged for his marriage
at Buffalo, they would have compre-
heuded II; but 10 have his bride brought
to him, after the fashion of the effete
monarchs of the Old World, is beyond
their powers of Interpretation. They say
it is not American, and it is ludicrous to
hear their comments upon it. The
diplomats are also puzzled as to whether
they should present gifts to the
President and his bride, and so
far they have been unable to as
certain if il will be proper, or the gifts,
If sent, will be received. II is customary
TO make royal gifts in nearly every
country in the world when the crowned
head takes TO himself wife, but so many
unusual things have already attached 70
this event that they cannot reach con-
clusion; SO they remain in mental misery
trusting that they will be excused on the
ground co ignorance. The ministers
would like to send Mrs. Cleveland some
token of respect, but Gay cannot get an
answer as TO the propriety of II. Some of
the diplomats have determined to send
gifts to the bride as mementos Of personal
regard, and not as official action.

GETTING RID OF DIRT.


with an Incidental Plea for Art
Squares Instead OF Carpets.
Mrs. NJ. ]. Plumstead, in Good House
Keeping, says One of the easy ways of
getting rid of dirt, is not to invite it to
come in. Howl By not having any
wooden carpets, especially those that have
cotton or linen back like Brussels or
tapestry carpets. There being no way for
the dust to sift through on to the paper
or floor below, it is constantly flying up
when disturbed. A three-ply carpet is a
good thing to catch the dirt, as il gets
into the middle ply and it is almost i'm
possible to sweep, or beat it out. Two
ply are castor to keep clean, but why
have anyp What would you have bare
floors !! Not Just that would COM
promise. Have less carpets and more
rugs, that can he taken up weekly, put on
the line out of doors and beaten. The
cart Squares" as they are called, furnish
carpet good enough for most people.
They come in good quality, light or
heavy, small or large sizes SO fitting
different sized rooms, woven i'll quite
tasteful colors with borders and fringes.
What can be prettier or easier kept clean?
In earpeting floor the first thing to be
considered is the floor itself. II your
floor is slightly uneven anywhere, if there
is nothing to prevent, whatever kind of
carpet You may have is sure to wear
through on the uneven places first. It is
penny wise" and pound foolish" to
put hay or straw under carpet, because
it cannot he put down evenly; unless it
is fresh it will make your room smell
close and stuTy. Leave the hay in the
barn.
The wise woman begins at the founda-
ton by putting down the best carpet
paper she can bny; the frmer aud
thicker the better. The best have found
is plain, heavy paper that is made on
purpose. That with cotton stitched be-
tween soon goes TO pieces when cleaned
unless very carefully handled. This paper
is carefully fitted around door ana win
dow castings to keep out moths, also cold.
1t covers all inequalities of the boards,
keeps out cold, and when cleaning day
comes and the carpet is taken mp, you
will find most of the dirt on the paper
which can be rolled up and carried out OF
| doors, and your floor is left clean.

Truth Is circle; the soul an arc,

Sailing over the fathomless brine

To guide me over the trackless brim.

DENVER, June IA special from Aspen
