HOW TO WALK FAST.
Keep the Body Erect and Take Very Long
strides Quickly.

Keep the Body Erect and Take Very Long
stride. Quickly.
London Society Times.l
Persons vino have never been trained to
walk fast generally quicken their gait by
bending forward and lengthening the stride,
at the same time bending the knees very
much at each step. It is pretty safe to say
that no one can possibly adopt this style and
keep fair walk at q faster gait than six
miles an hour. The fast walker must keep
himself erect, his shoulders back and chest
thrown out He must put his forward foot
and heel first, and with the leg straight. BE
must take strides so quick that they look
short He must, ii he expects to get a good
stride, work his hips considerably, over
coming the sidewise tendency of the hip
movement by a compensatory swinging oi
the arms.
The length of stride in fast walking is
astonishing to those who look at it. A little
figuring will make it clear why this is so.
There are ], ,760 yards in q mile, or 1,76O
strides three feet long. To do mile in
eight minutes a walker must cover 220 yards
a minute, or IL feet a second. Now go steps
a minute-nearly four a seconds pretty
quick work, as any one may discover ior
himself Even three steps second, or 1SO
to the minute, seems quick. The chances
are that your eight-mInute man, although
his legs move so quickly that the steps
seem short, is no: doing as many as 200
steps to the minute, and consequently that
the stride Is at least feet inches. With
a little practice a man six feet high can
easily maintain a four-foot stride for half q
mile.

BREAD FROM THE FORESTS.
Plan of the German Chemist Who VIII
Make Wood Serve M Wheat.

Plan of the German Chemist Who VIII
Make Wood Servo ns Wheat.
Newcastle Eng. Chronicle.1
Ingenious people have long enough been
engaged in breaking the Seventh Command
ment by mixing large variety Of mineral
and vegetable compounds with the -four
from which our bread is made, but hitherto
none of them have ventured to suggest the
substitution of any such like substance for
-four entirely. A German chemist. how
ever. proposes to settle the question Of fail
ing grain crops and import duties on corn
by converting the forests into loaves.
The fiber Of wood consists essentially Of
cellulose, and this, by a chemical process
known to himself, he intends to convert into
starch. The researches Of Hellrigel, he ex-
plains, show that certain plants transform
nitrogen into albumen, and this process of
nature, he asserts, can be improved by
science. The production OF starch from eel
lulose, together with the enforced increase OF
albumen in plants would, it is argued, make
us Indifferent to rust or blight in wheat, and
independent of foreign countries for our
food supplies. But what is to happen when
we have eaten up our forests is not stated.

a dhily tour of the city. When we take
charge of horse we remove it to the New
York Veterinary Hospital, where the soci-
ety's veterinary surgeon takes charge OF it.
We have but two ambulances in New York

and we need more officers. We have but
eight officers at headquarters here and could
find work for 20.
"Just now the weather is so hot that we
have had to ask the street car companies to
establish relay stations along their lines, SO
as to change horses often. We placed canvas
awnings over three relay stations without
waiting for a permit to erect them. The
Department of Public Works sympathizes
with our humanitarian efforts.
"Horses are affected by the heat in the
same manner as are men-by rush Of

of these domestic delinquencies and the
spiritual welfare of the flock may suffer.
And vet. these church flies, like society flies
and their insect counterparts, have their
uses too. The Lord pity the church that
does not have few live flies in it. Unless
there is little friction there is not much
brightness. A live dog is better than q
dead lion, and so I hold that live ny is
better than million dead ones.
Dead fiies cause the ointment of the apoth-
ecary to send forth sinking SAVIOR. The
characters referred to above must not be
classed among the really bad people, for
nineteenth of them are good at heart and
mean we'll, mean to do good. believe in
giving the devil his due. An old lady who
ALWAYS had something to say in favor OF
everybody was one day told that she could
possibly find some good qualities in Satan
himself
"why, certainly, my dear" she answered,
"I canno. help but admire his activity"
Dead Flies nm AbomInntion.
So say I of the live fly. admire his
activity, but the dead fly, ughl Take it
away, it spoils the ointment. The world has
no use for dead flies. They poison every
thing they touch. Il know the analogy is

every spoke in the wheel Of progress. They
NOPE about the village, cracking their heels
against drygoods boxes, or splitting on the
stove in the grocery store. They put plug
in the spout of the pump of possible pros
perity, and sit with crossed legs and folded
hands while somebody vainly tries to pump.
They whine about taxes and tribulations
and bring nothing to the mill to grind but
ill-nature and indifference. In the church
they are curse. They have just enough
vitality, some of them, to do little kick
ing, especially if their pocketbook is liable
to be resurrected. They "get religion" but
they keep it SO close that nobody ever sees
any of it. I am afraid they only get it
sporadically. The devil has vaccinated
them too deep.
It would be unjust, however, to criticise
either society or the church at large because
of the delinquencies of the few. Because
society has its fostering corpses and the
church its cadaverous members. giving the
ointment an unpleasant SAVIOR let not the
condemnation be without qualification.
The activity Of the live fly neutralizes the
noxious effiuvia of the dead to large

was right when he read the hymn: Judge
not the Lord by feeble saints" rather than
"Judge not the Lord by feeble sense"

PROGRESS IN PAPER.

Grades Tint Once Cost Ten Cents Pound
Now Sold for Three.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.I
The process OF making paper has been 50
much cheapened and simplifed in the last
20 years that paper which once was sold
for 10 cents pound can now be bought for
8 cents. The use of wood fiber instead Of
rags has had much to do with this. There
is very little paper now, except the best
Irish linen, that has any rags in It. Cotton
wood is best for this purpose, and in recent
trip through Tennessee saw great piles Of
20 or 80 cords lying at the steamboat land
ings, waiting for transportation. Of course,
cottonwood fiber cannot be used for the
finer kinds of paper, but for wrapping paper
it has superseded straw.

Sc. Louis Physician.
1T think I have done as much thinking as
anybody about this matter of tobacco biting
the tongue" says a physician in the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat, "and I'm quite sure
that the effect depends entirely upon the
health of the smoker. It's in the stomach
of the man that smokes the tobacco, and not
in the tobacco itself. Nobody ever knew
two men to agree upon any certain brand of
tobacco as one that always bit the tongue"

words, "Stuck feather in his hat and

the word macaroni implies. "Macaronil'
is the old-time word for dude or dandy. The
name in Old England formerly signlfed a
top.
It was first applied to the three young men
who travelled great deal, and. who intro
duced macaroni into England. These three
young men were very foppish in their dress,
in fact, they were typical dudes. and the
nickname which they received was soon ap-
piled to all others of their class. So when
Yankee Doodle stuck feather in his hat
and called it macaroni," he was simply
terming himself dude.
