Wall paper is turned out now at
prices that are little less than absurd.
Nobody ever thinks of paying the ad-
v~ertised price for wall papers any more
than for a piano in these days. An
owner who was papering a large up
town apartment house recently made
up his mind that the paper hangers es-
innate was too heavy. lie called on
an architect with whom he was ac-
quainted, and the two men went to a
large wholesale place in Seventh ave-
nue., where he found that he could buy
the paper for which he had been charged
seventy cents by the paper hanger for
thirty-two cents. Then he went to the
factory, where the same paper was of
fered him in quantity at nineteen cents
a roll. He subsequently called on his
architect friend, who bought the paper
in his own name for sixteen cents a

physician would have come dangerously
close to the head of the list. Even as 1t
stands they have some enthusiastic iriends

largest number of votes for any own
physician received yesterday was for DR..
Marston, whose friends are now ready 20
push him to the front with a good deal of

the contest closes on next Wednesday

When one speaks of mo Mans Land"
we generally presume that he refers to
that little neck of land in the Indian
territory, lying between Colorado and
Kansas on the north and Texas on tbs
south. But such is not always the case.
The original mo Mans Land" is a little
tongue of land extending few miles
south of the Mason and Dixon line, be-
tween the states of Maryland and Della
ware. Every now and then somebody
starts the story that this traet Is. prop
erly speaking, part Of no state, literally
out Of the jurisdiction of the United
States; that 1t Is one of the left over
pieces Of the whole country, wherein no
one owns the ground upon which he
lives. On the maps the ground is cred
tied to Pennsylvania, but. according TO
these same authorities, the claim is a
shadowy one.
This triangular bit Of territory was
marked off il 4 curious way. The east
ern boundary Of Maryland was early de-
terlnined. but the southern boundary of
Pennsylvania was long a matter of dis
pute. Finally Mason and Dixon began
their work at the eastern boundary of
Maryland, and proceeded westward,
while the northern boundary of Delaware
was declared 10 be 8 semi-circle. whose
center was New Castle. In surveying
the semi-circie 1t was found that the cir
conference did not touch the boundary
Of Maryland at It's junction with the
Pennsylvania line, thus giving rise TO
this triangular bit OF lspd, which has
been discarded by the three states and
only allowed to'attach itself to PennsFl-
vania for judicial purposes.-St. Louis

Women Who Live by TypewritinG.

A manufacturer OF one of the standard
typewriters On the market says that there
are "a, 900 women who make a living in
this country by drumming the keys of
writing machines eve are not able TO
give you absolutely accurate information"
he said, ''as to the number of women who
make living by the typewriter, but we
are probably in a better position to est
mate the approximate number, as We
know more nearly than any one else how
many machines Of all makes are in use,
and the proportion of male and female
operators We think it not far outsof the
way to say that there are about 5000
women whose support is derived from the
use of writing machines, and $500 men
of whom the same may be said. These fig
ures do not include the men who use the
typewriter themselves in their own bust
ness OF profession, but merely those who
use the machine as employees Of other peo-
pie" Another manufacturer says that
from 1000 to 10000 women. are using the
machines which he is making. -Eew York

EXERCISE FOR GRACE.

Why Women Rise from 3 Chair Very
Much as thesDe.I eff Thsir Chfld Does.
Has anybody told you yet, little woman,
that you don't know how to rise from 8
chair? Well, ysn don't The act, as you
perform il, suggeststf1e movements OF the
fat faced, jointed WOODEN creature you
loved best wien a child, because she was
the ungaialiest of all your chiA6Esn, aud
everybody else laughed at her and at you
for cherishiRg her most. But you did, and
you made her the very finest gowns and
most astounding tur hans you could devise,
and kept her IN your 8rEns mostOf the day
and put her close by your pillow when you
went to bed at-uighf, ,. and perhaps that is
partly the reason w'hyyon SIT down and
rise upwith some suggestion of her ancient
grace.
But you should have learned better
things, little womas, ali these days that
you have been hearing soznuch about ply
steal perfection, and the dress reforms, and
the body reforms, and the DelsaFtian grsces,
and all the rest And you should have
learned that tie reason you rise like your
wooden doll is because your joints are IN
exactly the same infexible and unytetding
state that1hers were. The secret of grace
of body Is suppieneSs of joint. Il really
takes alf the poetry ont of the matter. you
see, TO discover that the elegant sIuuostty
of movement that marks the vera dea" Is
altogether question of mechanics, 8nG
depends uponthe ease ofmotion in the va
rious hinges that connect the different
members, of tAe human frame Bot IL is,
and so the thing for you to do - TO get
these hinges into easy working order as
soon and as completely as possible.
Begin your improving exercises, not by
practicing various graceful poses before a
mirror, as women who haven't got bold Of
thesecret of tfIe-thing are wont to do. but
Begin with suppling each separate joint
in your h0dyIn this way. TUrn the fin
gers round and round on the axis Of the
hand; turnlohe handsFou1d on the axis of
the wrist. TnFn the forearm on the elbow
and the whele arm on theshoulder. Then
turn the head ON the neck-slowly and as
far round as you can. You VIII be SIR

your back hair was InoInenf before
Now try-turnipg the trunk on tho waist
line, the legs on the hips, the lower half of
the leg on the knee and the fo0S on the
ankle. 4 steady, constant practice Of this
one turning exercise every day for one
month until every joint is as free and
supple as it cen possibly be made viii give
a grace and freedem of motion thai seems
well nigh incredible to one who has never
tried it. The most important Of these
movements are those that turn the body
on the waist, the head on the neck, and
the legs on the hips. Just notice the next
graceful woman you meet and see for your
sef how much her grace of movement de

trunk and the waist and the hips.-New
