Physical Culture for Ladies',

I have been somewhat surprised
during my stay in Kansas City, to see
how little interest is taken by the
ladies in physical culture, which in
the larger cities of the east forms such
an important part of a girls education
nowadays. The old idea that q woman
is mans inferior physically, is pretty
well exploded since the proper sort Of
physical training has been made avail
able for women. In point of fact, ]
believe the reverse is true as far as
mere strength of muscle and limb is
concerned. In one Of my classes in
Boston, I had pupil, Miss Annie LIE
Castron, who, while hardly able to
lift ten pound dumb bell when she
first began to practice, by constant
training became able to handle heavier
weights than most men can. In Der
lin another pupil of mine, Miss Bertha
Wurtmer, in a class exhibition car
ried off the first honors for all round
athletic work, winding up by defeat
ing seven contestants in Q five mile
walk. There are great possibilities for
women in such o course of training

Ell PAso, March 25.-Circumstan-
tial evidence has been developed max.

Grande month ago. A writ Of habeaa
corpus has been granted them and I

An Improvement in Propellsr..

One Of the great difficulties encoun-
tered with the ordinary screw propeller
in use is the liability to be thrown
clear Of the water by the pitching Of
the vessel in heavy sea, thereby rock.
ing and wrenching the machinery,
and the ease with which it becomes
disabled by fouling with cables or by
striking any heavy floating object. 4
Scotch mechanic, however, has in
vented q method Of placing the pro.
peller, which entirely does away with
both Of these objections. At the stern
Of ON ordinary vessel the keel is di.
vided into two sections, leaving o
space wherein the propeller is placed.
Sluices are left in the sections Of the
double keel, through which the water
may readily pass. By the working
model of this invention it has been de-
monstrated that much greater forward
speed can be secured with no create,
expenditure Of power, while the speed
in going astern is fully equal to that
secured in moving ahead.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Cautionsry Signals.

Everybody is snperstitious to q
greater or less extent. Every man has q
superstition of some sort, though they
will not own it. One Of the most COM
mon of the petty superstitions is in
volved in the answering Of invitations.
Some men do not hesitate to write posi-
lively that they will be there, but the
great majority modify this by saying,
"God willing" or il nothing hap
pens" or something of the sort. These
men firmly believe in the old saying
that ''Man proposes and God disposes, y
and they are taking no chances. Those
who have occasion to receive responses
to invitations will notice that these
"cautionary signals" prcvail.-Chi'
cago Herald.

DEAR PICAYUNE As | have not
noticed in your columns the death of
Mr.. Riley Moody, very aged, if not
the oldest. citizen of Nevada county.
| will give YOU a short sketch of his
long life, which came to a peaceful
close at his late residence a few days
ago.
Riley Moody, the subject of this
sketch, was born in the State of
Georgia County unknown to writer)
in August, 1901; was married IN
1925 to Miss Sallie Hollingsworth :
moved to Dallas county, Ala, during
his early married life, and from there
to Arkansas, in 1874, settling upon
mis- farm in Nevada county, where he
died, the 22d Of April, 1889. 1t
will be seen, had he lived till next
August he would have been SO years
of age-eight years beyond the allot-
ted four-score years, to which few
attain.
Entering upon the arena Of Life
only II years after the inauguration
Of our first President-the centennial
of which event has just been celebra-
ted by the American people-his
long life stretched almost over the
first century of our national history.
What stirring scenes he has witnessed,
what grand and wondrous develop
ments in our own country's and the
worlds history, Compressed within
these two periods, that of his birth
and his death, l00l-lSS9, are to be
found events, achievements in arts
and science and inventions unequalled
by any other like epoch in the history
Of the race. 1t would be interesting
to notice here, did space allow, the
gradual march of civilization, the
varied phases OF human life, the
habits and customs of The people a,

van of advancing civilization, and, as
is common with such men. he led an
active. industrious life. He was
never idle, but up to near his last
illness he devoted himself assiduously
to the varied and ordinary labors of
farm lifc-especially that of caring
for his orchard and vineyard, which
latter work he much delighted in.
He was quiet and retiring in his
manners. honest, fair and straight
forward in all his dealings with his
fellow man. In all the relationships
OF life, as husband, father, neighbor,
citizen, he was true, above reproach,
and highly esteemed. He became
member of the Christian Church in
1852, at his residence, under the
ministry of the Rev. James Wade,
and lived consistent member Of
that church until his death.
He was perfectly rational till near the end,
and in talking with the family aud friends
expressed no fear of death, but only regret
ted to loave his aged wife. who is only two
wears his junior.
He selected MI. Vernon Church as the
place Of his burial; and there requested that
his body be laid to rest. Peace to his ashes.
Thus the old land marks are being remov
ed: one by one they go. Soon they will all
be gone May the oneoming generations
emulate their virtues and thus show them
selves worthy sons of noble sires. SCRIBBLER

section. Our lands are the most fer
tile in the state, producing almost
every variety of fruit and grain grown
in any other state; the streams,
which are plentiful, abound in nice

wood near at hand, and can be pro-
cured at terms reasonable. Land is
cheap, from So to $40 per acre.
Crops are very catering now.
Wheat is being cut, and people are
counting on making from 10 to 20
bushels per acre. Oats are looking
fine, and cotton never was known to
be finer. Corn is selling at 20 and
% cents per bushel, not much de-
mand for it at that.
