grasp. | cried aloud shrieked-as he
endeavored to throw me over the guard
rail down among the whirling machinery
that would crush and mangle my body
and grind out my life.
l gave utterance to wild despairing
cry: seemed already to feel the ponder
Gus pistons crushing out my life. Then
a dark shadow fitted past, blow was
struck, and sank, thoroughly exhausted,
upon the prostrate writhing body of my
antagonist.
MY darling, has that horrible man
hurt you?"
1t was Fanny Everett who spoke. She
was bending over me, holding in one
hand "spanner weapon with
which she had relieved me from the
grasp of the insensible Allison.
"Not much, my pet, thanks to your
timely Intervention, l replied.
Then | hallooed for the oler and some
fremen. They came up, wondering
what was the matter, and surprise was
vividly depicted upon their faces when
they saw beautiful girl and myself,
painting, trembling, and exhausted,
standing over the inanimate body of my
late foe.
By my direction, however, they got
couple of stout earrings, with them
bound the legs and arms of Mr.. Allison,
and then carried him into the saloon.

from her stateroom. With the stewards

Mr.. Selinder, she cried. when she saw
the state of affairs. Frank has got
what he calls the Jim jams and when
he read that letter for Miss Everett which
you passed through the jalousies, and
which he thought was intended for me,
he became furious, vowed he would slay
you, and went out, locking me in as he

age, though their activity continues;
but did any one ever see any animal,
except the barnyard pig, with paunch? !?
Man has been trained within the last
century and half to consider dirty
hands disgrace. Obesity should be
ranked with uncleanliness, both being
simply the mark of lazy habits.
In fine, to exercise the muscles and
joints in such a manner as to give the
body the full service of the levers and
fulcrums which they supply is perfectly
practicable. Nor is it necessary to be-
come professional gymnast to do So
We daily waste enough muscular energy
to keep ourselves in almost first-class
condition did we apply it rightly. Let
alone our diet, we drihble out our blood
to our limbs in shocking niggardliness
We strain our bones to save our muscles;
we make joints in our spine when Ma
ture meant us to move our hips we drag
one foot after another when we might
walk briskly with equal comfort, and,
altogether, we throw away physical and
mental material at rate which we
shonld not tolerate if we were hiring our
physical faculties from syndicate. And
the only way to correct this is by exer-
else, not necessarily violent or fatiguing,
properly adjusted to the desired ends.

Some of the queerest work of the
Treasury Department is done in the at
tic and in the basement. You can have
no idea of the varieties of business which
are carried on inside these great walls.
| stood for 10 minutes recently and
watched about 80 women sewing on car
pets in the top loft of the Treasury. The
carpet was stretched on frames like car
penters' saw-horses, and the girls were
having kind of quilting bee in joining
the widths together. All the carpets of
the government departments the coun-
try over are sewed here, and if GUS

Kossuth, the ex-Dictator of Hungary
and the indirect cause of the withdrawal
from the Magyar Premiership of Kolo-
man Tisza, resides at Turin in a house
on the Via del Mile. He is now in his
S7th year, but notwithstanding his ad-
vanced age, has retained the most sur
prising mental and physical vigor. This
is possibly due to his regular mode of
life. After his bath he takes a walk of
org hours duration, returning between
12 and to luncheon. All the afternoon
he reads and works in his cabinet, a lofty
room with vaulted and painted ceiling
and papered in a warm red color. He
writes seated at a huge flat desk placed
between the two windows, with his back
to the light. The desk is covered with
papers mostly tied with red tape and
carefully docketed for reference. On
the wall are several good pictures, and
facing the desk is an admirable full
length portrait of the general himself.
Beneath, on table, is the gift of the
workingmen Of England-a complete
edition of Shakespeare's works, inclosed
in case which is a miniature fac-simile
of the poets house at Stratford- on-Avon.
He dimes at 7, and after the meal, notwith-
standing the 8 or 10 miles which he has
walked during the day, he is good for
an hours game of billiards. At 8 he
usually takes tea, and retires to bed at
about H.

highly nervous organization, and seems
to find a deep pleasure in constant travel.
Riley is good illustration of the hard
times that literary people undergo. He
was a clever writer and versifier for
many years, but did not make any great
hit until a few years ago, when his COM
position, "When the Frost Is On the
Pumpkin, took firm hold on the pop
ular heart. Before that time he expert
enced trouble in selling his short poems
at such ridiculous prices as So and 81

Raising Kids.


The raising of kids for their skins is
leading industry among the French
nountaineers, who obtain no small part
of their subsistence from this source.
Softness, delicacy of texture, and free
dom from blemish are principal factors
IN the value of kid skins; and to secure
these essentials great pains are taken.
AS soon as the young animal begins to
eat grass the value of its skin declines,
for with grass diet its skin immedi-
ately begins to grow coarser and harder
in texture, and its chief merit vanshes.
1t it therefore kept closely penned, not
only to prevent it from eating grass, but
also to secure its skin from accidental
injury from scratches or bruises, which
impair its value.
When the kids have reached certain
age, at which the skins are in the best
ondition for the use of the glover, they
are killed, and the hides are sold to
travelling hawkers, through whom they
reach the great centers of the tanning
industry at Annonay Milan, Paris, and
Grenoble.
The superior quality of these kid skins,
due somewhat to climatic causes is what
has given France the supremacy in the
manufacture of the finest grades of real
kid gloves-a supremacy that will doubt
less be long maintained, inasmuch as
foreign manufacturers must in general
rest content with second-rate skins, un-
less they maintain agents on the ground,
a policy that some English and Ameri-
can houses have found to be necessary.

AN EDITORS PASS.
All Is Not Sunshine In Being a Dead
head,


head.
One of the beauties and charms of an
editors life is in his deadheading it on
all occasions. No one who has never
feasted on the sweets of that bliss can
begin to take in the glory of its happi-
ness. He does 800 worth of advertis-
ing for a railroad, gets pass" for a
year, rides S25 worth, and then he is
looked upon as a deadhead or half
blown deadbeat. He 'puffs" concert
troupe $40 worth and gets 81 in compli-
mentaries and is thus passed free. If
the hall is crowded he is begrudged the
room he occupies, for if his compliment
aries were paying tickets the troupe
would be so much in pocket. He blows
and puffs church festival free to any
desired extent, and does the poster print
ing at half rates and rarely gets thank
you for it. 1t goes as part of his duty as
an editor. He does more work gratuit-
ously for the town and community than
all the rest of the population put to-
gether and gets cursed for it all, while
in many instances where man who do
mates few dollars to Fourth of July
celebration, base ball club, or church is
gratefully remembered Oh, it is a
sweet thing to be an editor! He passes
"free, you know Printers Ink.

Professor Huxley says: "The seven and
a half million of workers of England,
with the present means of labor, can
produce as much in six months as would
have required 100 years ago the entire
working force of the world one year to
equal. The same spirit which has
brought us to this is still moving forward
with added momentum to new advances
and conquest. Gladstone has carefully
estimated that the production of wealth
in Great Britain since 1900 up to 1870
equals the aggregate acquired during the
entire period from the landing of Julius
Caesar, fifty years before the birth of
Christ, up to 1900; also, that the wealth
produced from 1850 to 1870 equals the
amount produced during the fifty pre-
ceding years.

THE GERMANY OF THE WEST.
In Wisconsin the Foreign Born Out
number the Natives by 10000.

In Wisconsin the Foreign Born Out
number the Natives by 100000.
The discussion in Wisconsin over the
Bennett law calls out interesting informa-
ton as to the origin of the population of
the State. The last census shows 1S9, 469
foreign born voters to 149 ,463 natives. A
great portion of the natives had alien
born parents, though the number is not
stated OF the population 9l0,073 We're
natives and 405, ,425 of foreign birth, but
S56, ,S2S had both parents foreign born.
This is a large majority of the entire
population. Germany is very largely in
the lead in Wisconsin. Those born in
Germany or having German fathers num-
ber $50, $50, but a tritle less than one-half
the entire population. Those of Scandi-
navian blood count 16S,S03 Those of
British origin, including the provinces,
are 205, 151; of Irish, 173, S05. The native
Yankee stock is of small numerical ac-
count The State probably has the larg-
est German element of any State in the
Union in proportion to population.
