Charley Diehl's Wonderful Tact, Norvl
,a@@ and Presence OF Mind.

Charley Diehrs Wonderful Tact. Nerve
and Presence Of Mind.
That the newspaper readers of the
United States got the news of the hang
Ing OF Riel at Regina, N. w. T., in 1855,
In advance Of the Canadian press is due
to cocktail. Charles ,Diehl, war cor
respondent of the Chicago Times until
1883, and then and since connected with
the Associated Press (he is now in San
Francisco, was sent to Regina to do the
hanging. The writer had posted him
upon the military red-tapeism he would
encounter in the land where the red
coated mounted police are as powerful
as they are dictatorial. Charley is q
thoroughly good fellow, and upon ar
rival at Regina at once set about max
ing himself popular. His success was
not marked until one day he invited q
number of police officers to take drink,
and when the genial cocktails had been
prepared Charley, before raising his
glass to his lips, said: "How kola, "
Now this is the Sioux salutation, and one
of the principal officers Immediately
said:
"Where did you hear that, Mr.. Diehl?"
when accompanied General Terry
In 1877, and we met the mounted police
near Woody mountain"
''The deuce you say" said the officer.
''Why, was there; and I'll never for
get how nicely your people treated us
ALL"
The cocktail was repeated amid friend
ly enthusiasm, and Charley could safely
say: 1.-The world (or all he wantcd OF
it) is mine" He was not only given
every facility to learn the time of Riels
execution and the manner thereof, but
was allowed to bring his mounted courier
within the stockade at the Regina
prison, which is distant four miles from
the telegraph Office. He wrote up all
the preliminaries to the time Riel don
ned the black cap and sent his man
away on the gallop. The courier met
Diehl en- route to town, after he had
filed his last batch of news, and was
handed the finis of the account. No one
else had taken any such precautions, and
the special correspondents of the Toron-
to, Ottawa and Montreal dailies had to
be contented with very short accounts,
or, worse yet, had to wait until the next
day.
Diehl was the Chicago Times man
who joined the Ilges expedition against
Sitting Bull, Gall and Crow King in the
never-to-be-forgotten campaign of 1880
81. During that campaign many night
was spent in tents when the mercury
was frozen in the bulb and spirit ther-
mometers registered 50 to IS degs. be-
low zero (Fahrenheit). Enroute to Bu-
ford Diehls driver was prostrated by
cold, ,and the plucky correspondent wrap.
ped him up as warm as he could detached
the rear bobs from his sled, and tying
his nearly frozen companion to stake
on the front runners, drove the outfit
twenty-five miles. He was nearly
played out when he reached Buford,
and the driver lost limb, if I remem.
Der rightly, but after ten hours rest
Diehl started off for Poplar river, sixty.
Ave miles away, and got there in time
to report the battle on the Redwater.-

GIRLS AS GYMNAsTs.
They Arc Reckless and Over-Darlng in
Their Enthusiasm.

They Are Reckless and Overlooking In
Their Enthusiasm.
'5irls should never be allowed in a
gymnasium unless they are in charge OF
thorough master of calistheniscs and
gymnastics, +" said o professor to re-
porter. ut may seem strange to say,
but the girls are more daring and much
more reckless than boys when they get
the athletic fever. 1t seems to be very
catching nowadays. .-,~',.,s..s,. a,,,,.. ..-
''Only short time ago = young lady
came into the gymnasium. She had
never been in a gymnasium before. AS
soon as she got her suit on she was try
Ing to pull herself up horizontal bar
and before could stop her she had
| strained the tendons in both arms and
| couldn't come back to exercise again
for nearly three moHths.
''Girls have to take much more sys-
tematic training than boys. They are
not so strong and have to be treated
more tenderly. There are hundreds of
ways in which a girl can hurt herself in
a gymnasium unless she is very careful.
She can strain her arms and hands by
too much exercise at any thing. She
can sprain her back by junping to far
on spring board.
II have known girls to sprain their
toes in the running high jump even
when the bar was only foot from the
ground. High-heeled shoes press the
toes downward and girls who wear them
always land on their toes when they
jump instead of on the ball of the foot"
"What exercise should girl practice
at hOme" asked the reporter.
! 'Gymnastics, to be healthful, should
only take q portion of the strength of
ones muscle, and the constant exercise
of these muscles is what develops them.
have seen some delicate girls exercis-
ing with hve-pound dumb-bells, when
some of the strongest athletes of the
country only use two-pounders. A girl
who wishes to expand her chest can do
so If, each morning after her bath, she
will stand erect, feet together, shoulders
back, arms straight down, and take
twenty-five full, deep breaths. Better
begin fifteen times the first week and
| then gradually increase it, Keep up the
| increase until in reaches the number OF
fifty. BY that time her lungs will be
much stronger and the chest will begin
! to expand. A Around-shouldered girl can
become straight by moving the arms
backward in regular motions until the
elbows are only few inches apart Let
the first exercise be twenty times and
| increase it until 125 times can be done
| without fatigue. The throat can be
made round and firm by judicious ex-
ercise of the head. I make my throat
pupils throw the head far back and then
forward slowly, and then from side tc
side in the same way.
''There is no reason why any girl OF
W oman not deformed, and about twenty
five or thirty years of age, should not
have graceful and well-developed
figure, and gymnastics will give It t.
her, but not unless she is taught them
properly."-N Y. Mail and Express.

MANY MILLIONS IN IT.

Tho Colossal Sums Stored In tho United
States Sub-Treasury.
There is stored at the United States
Sub-Treasury down in Wall street be-
tween 500, 900 and $3.50. 600, 600. A
Government officer who had just de-
posted check for $685. 900 accepted an
invitation the other day totake peep at
the vaults. He presently found himself
in moderate sized room whose walls
are honeycombed with little closets.
Each of these receptacles contains
$500,O00 in gold. They are duly scaled
and marked, so that the amount can he
removed quickly on short notice. While
the visitor was present subordinat te
came in with a modest demand for
$780, 900, and it was promptly served
out. "Here is something pretty" said
the cicerone of the occasion, opening
a vault on the opposite side of the
room. He thrust in hand and
drew out package having the base
area of SIS bill and height of some
inches. GLOW much does it contain, do
you suppose?" inquired the treasury
official: "You see It is made up of $10,-
600 bills" The wondering specta tor
was staggered when told that the pack
age contained $s,000,000. The increase
in the amount of money deposited in
these vaults during the past quarter of
century is something surprising.
When John J. Cisco was the Assistant
Treasurer at this city, $40, 600, 600 or $780,
900, 900 was considered great amount Of
money to have in the vaults at one time.
Yet during the administration of G. J.
Canda, President Cleveland's First AS
sistant Treasurer, the amount was in
creased to S212,O00,000. So perfect was
the system that Mr.. Canda, in speaking
of this, naively said: eyes, suppose I
had under my charge more money than
was ever conflded to one man at one time.
But then it didn't do me much good.
l could not have drawn out or embezzled
a single cent of it without somebody
knowing it. could not even enter the
vaults without assistance from a clerk
who carried some of the keys" But the
responsibility Is, nevertheless, very
large, and weighs heavily upon the men
who assume it. Very few men care to
take it for any length of time, and Mr..
Canda, after few months trial, re-
signed and returned to the banking bus
mess. Nearly all the men who have
held this Office and remained in busi-
ness have found their way into impor-
tant banking establishments. This is
true of Mr.. Acton, who is now president
of the Bank of New Amsterdam, and of
Mr.. Canda himself, who is cashier OF
the Western National Bank, of which
the late Secretary Manning was presi-
dent, and which is now presided over by
Conrad N. Jordan, who was Treasurer OF
the United States at Washington while
Mr.. Canda was the Assistant Treasurer
here.-From New York Dispatch.

PRIZE EMBDEN GOOSE.

tinct variety, it modestly puts forth no
such pretensions itself, and the honor
has been clearly thrust upon it. But all
white plumaged geese come under the de-
nomination of Embden, except the Irish,
which are not so designated. They are,
however, smaller than the true Embden,
but In no other respect differ from them,
and therefore are not distincs variety.
OF course white geese have one decided
advantage over the gray, namely-their
feathers are of much more value. AS
this is an important point their breed
ing should be encouraged, even though
they do not attain the same size as the
Toulouse. The question of size could
soon be remedied by careful breeding,
but the geese required for the early
markets can be best supplied by birds of
this variety, as they grow more rapidly.
There can be no doubt, however, that
for the later markets in this country
the Toulouse will be able to hold its
own, for size is then of great impor-
tance. lido not know that this is wise
or well-regulated demand. for the largest
have seldom the finest flavor, and nat
ure seems to hold balance in all
things, for when she gives excess of
size she seldom gives with it the same
quality, and well-fed Embden is a
juicy and tender fowl, with the highest
of quality. Specimens of this breed do
not often attain more than nineteen or
twenty pounds, but at times heavier
birds have been found. At one time the
weights of all the waterfowl were taken
at the Birmingham show, and though
many of the birds were undoubtedly
grossly crammed because of the influ-
ence the scales had in determining the
prizes, for which reason the system was
given up, yet there are many interest
ing features about the plan, and rec
ord could be kept from year to year of
the weights attained. It is to be noted,
however, that one of the highest weights
ever recorded at this show was for a
pair of Embdens, namely, ffty-seven
pounds the pair, which was the weight
of the first prize pen at the Birming-
ham show of 1876.-Country Gentle
