How to Walk.

A well-known retired pedestrian of
this city writes as follows about the art
of walking properly and fast: "Of
late years fast walking has become al
almost a lost art, and contests in
between, principally through the many
different styles adopted by the faster
men and the unsatisfactory decisions
rendered by incompetent judges.
There is no branch of exercise so nat
ural and health-giving as walking, and
in all its perfection it should be most
popular with the general public. Fast
walkers, like first-class athletes in any
branch of sport, are said to be born,
not made; therefore if one is not pos
sessed of some ability he will never be
able to cope in the front ranks of the
profession. Style is the most essential
thing, and must first be studied by one
who desires to develop into fast pc
destrian. Shifty and webbing modes
of progression come mainly from the
desire to attain speed in too short
time and also from lack of condition.
1t is safe to say that there are many
people in this country who, if properly
trained and developed, would make a
creditable performance, but there is so
little encouragement, either in the
amateur or professional ranks, that
those whose notions of exercise run in
that direction refrain from even at
tempting to get speed. A man accus-
toned to indoor labor will find three
mile walk every morning most bene-
fetal to his health and a means of
keeping his lungs in good working or
der. Where one is so cramped for
time as to be unable to walk so great a
distance before going into confinement
for the day it would be we'll for him to
walk from his home to his store or Of
flee and back. A man first undertake
ing the task may imagine that his
journey is never coming to an end, but
after each trial the task will become
less trying and in time it will become
nothing more nor less than pleasant
stroll, and as the distance appears to
grow shorter he will gradually get a
trifle faster. Boston Herald.

BRACE UP.-You are feeling depressed,
your appetite is poor, you are bothered
with headache, you are fdgety, nervous
and generally out of sorts and want to
brace up. Brace up, but not with stimu-
lants, spring medicines, or bitters, which
have for their basis very cheap, bad
whiskey, and which stimulate you for an
hour and then leave you in worse condi-
ton than before. What you want is an
Alternative that will purify your blood,
start healthy action of liver and kidneys,
restore your vitality and give renewed
health and strength. Such medicine you
will find in Electric Bitters, and only fifty
cents bottle, at G. Blakely's drugstore.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film OF
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness and what contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been we'll called "med-
icated sugar-plums" - the only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
j. T. Teller, M. D., of Chittenango,
n. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and l think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DR.. George L. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.
ayers Pills outsell all similar prep
arations. The public having once used
them, will have no others" 49, Berry,

cit Never Dries Up.O

l was staying at village near the
sea-coast where the people had to bring
all their water from well. AT all the
hours of the day, but chiefly before
breakfast and before tea-time, little
feet, often unshod, but very active,
might be seen passing along narrow
lane, with every kind of pitcher, ket-
tie and can, to fresh-water well. "Is
this well dry ?" l inquired. "Dry
Yes, sir, very often in hot weather."
"And if it dries up ?" Why, then
we go to spring higher up-the best
water of all" "But if the spring
higher up fails? 20 "Why, sir, that
spring never dries up-never. 1t is
always the same, summer and winter"
L went up to see this fountain which
"never dries up" The water was
clear and sparkling, running down from
a high hill, and passed through grav-
ely bank, not with torrent-leap and
roar, but with the steady flow and soft
murmur of fulness and freedom. Some
children were filling their different YES
sells to the brim. 1t was enough for
every empty vessel. The small birds
came down thither to drink. The ewes
and lambs had trodden down little
path to its brink. The thirsty beast of
burden along the dusty road knew the
way-I could see by their tracks-to the
spring that never dries up" 1t re-
minds me of the water of life and sal
walton flowing from the Crock of
Ages " and brought within reach of all
men by the gospel of Jesus Christ
Every other brook may grow dry in the
days of trial and adversely, but this
heavenly spring never ceases to flow.

In the Freight.

The fire upon the hearth is low
And there is stiffness everywhere
Like troubled spirits, here and there
The freight shadows fluttering go.
And as the shadows round me creep
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from further room
Comes "Now | lay me down to sleep"
And somehow, with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thoughts go back to distant years
And linger with dear one there;
And as hear my childs amen
My mothers faith comes back to me-
Crouched at her side | seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again
oh for an hour in that dear place,
oh for the peace of that dear time.
Oh for the childish trust sublime,
Oh for a glimpse of mothers facet
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone,
And Now lay me down to sleepl"
Eugene Field, in. Chicago Neu!

A GOOD appetite is essential to good
health; but at this season 1t is often lost
owing to the poverty or impurity of the
blood, arrangement of the digestive organs
and the weakening effect of the changing
season. Hoods Sarsaparilla is wonderful
medicine for creating an appetite, toning
the digestion and giving strength to the
whole system Now is the time to take it,
Be sure to get Hoods Sarsaparilla.

to sign my name in opposition to the
track and my reason was it crossed
two thoroughfares, Austin street and

the prominent alderman vote
against the report at that time?

it runs from the city out into the coun-
try, in the chapparal."
