Three nuies for walking.

This remark of the doctors brought to
my mind the case of Ware, the iptercol-
legiate amateur. / remember a talk l once
had with him. We were at the same
hotel and l asked him to give me a rule for
walking.
There are three rules" he said. 'In
ordinary walking the arms should be al
lowed to swing naturally, and in this way
the whole body is exercised and invigor-
ated. In fast walking this movement of
the arms is c~orrespondingly increased and
greatly facilitates the speed and comfort
of the walker. Fast walking is univer-
sally recognized as one of the principal
branches of athletics, but no sport en-
genders SO much controversy or Is SO
unsatisfactory to its votaries. 1t is,
of course, an artificial gait, and there
fore requires a judge, who is usually
a su-perannuated walker, with de-
cided ideas on the subject. If these
judges could only be brought to believe
that as no two men are alike, SO no two
have an exactly similar style in walking
and that a walk may be fair and vet diff
fer widely from their own ideal, walking
would assume the rank in athletics to
which it is entitled, but to erris human
and a man may train conscientiously and
honestly, ~endeavoring to cultivate al ir-
reproachable style, only to be disqualified
LII LIS urSU race. nave O1Cen nearu Hlen
highly praised by competent judges of
walking, whom equally good judges had
pronounced incapable of fair walking; in
fact, in no other sport is there room for
such wide variance of opinion among pre-
sumedly honest and intelligent men.
THE fundamental principle of fair
walking is that one foot must be on the
ground all the time; this is imperative,
as can easily be demonstrated by trial.
A violation of this rule must result in a
run. Another idea on which judges
should lay great stress is that the knees
must not be bent when the feet strike
the ground, Inc remain rigid until after
they leave it. This is absolutely neces-
sary in fast walking, although a man can
walk fairly with his knees bent if he tries
to, but nothing can be more awkward or
unnatural. This rule necessitates a third,
which is that the heel of the forward foot
strikes the ground simultaneously as the
toe of the rear foot leaves it. This gives
rise to the popular expression, heel and
toe walking Any n who observes
these rules will walk fairly."-D. ]. Nc

The Disposition Of Dead I;Odies.

than mere question Of speculative in

hardly strange that the attention of IN

The latest proposal Of this sort comes
from Washington, where Is offered Il
suggestion which. If it meets in practice
the spccious promise Of the page. may be
regarded as removing some of the most
strenuous objections alike to earth burial
and crematlon. The promise IS to place
the dead in little hermeticallv sealed cells
within Il mausolCum and to connect these
cells with It distant furnace by means Of
tubes through which Il strong pressure
of air is maintained, the c,ult being the
thorough drying of the body and it, per
pctuat preservation. How practical this
may he remains to be seen. 1T at least
