simple Health Exerclses.

At a recent meeting of a woman's club,
where a paper on Exercise and Gymnas-
tics" had been read and discussed, one of
the members gave her fellow members the
benefit of an experience of her own. 1t
was her habit, she said, when walking, to
take as few inhalations as possible and
hold them to the last second. 81 draw a
deep breath, walking very rapidly when
have filed my lungs, and do not take an
other until have reached certain point
in the block. By practice am able to get
on with perhaps three inhalations through
long block. TheTesult is exactly as if
had been running hard. Ny blood tingles
all over me, and seem to have brought
every nerve and muscle into active play.
In this way a short walk, if only to the
elevated station or to catch car a block
away, gives me a great deal of condensed
exercise"
A second member of the club supple
mented this with the case of a well known
physician, who told her that he made a
practice invariably to hold his breath when
crossing street. He had become so ad-
dicted to the habit now that he did it in
stinctively, filing his lungs Involuntary as
he stepped on a crosswalk. Some months
of this practice had noticeably expanded
his chest measure.-Her Point of View in
New York Times.

EDISON has invented a new machine
which he calls the photograph" 1t is
a combination of the photograph with the
camera, and it will not only produce
sound, but picture of what passes be-
fore it. Mr.. Edison claims that it will
reproduce an opera. The phonograph
will render the music and the photo
graphic apparatus reproduce the perfor-
mers so that their presence on the stage
will be depicted. every muscle of their
faces true to nature. In other words.
the camera will give continuous picture
of singer on the stage for say 30
minutes, all his motions and gestures,
while its ally, the phouograph, will re-
cord every note he utters. The new ma
chine is yet imperfect, but the inventor
expects 10 make it q complete success.

MElOPE.

No Daniel sat in judgment then,
No prisoners friend stood by;
The Lord, who heard Susannah's prayer,
Seemed sleeping in the sky;
And hatred had but one decree,
Relentless to condemn.
Alas, that day for Melope,
The maid Of Bethlehem
They piled the fagots high in sight
OF half the gaping town;
Her eyes but saw in silent fright
Her fierce accusers' frown.
Then, shrinking, from the earth she rails ed
Her face, unstained with shame.
The pile was lit, the death fire blazed,
And wrapped her form in flame.
In vain. Its rage could only flush
Her cheek with holier charm;
Like angel in the burning bush,
She stood untouched and calm.
When, 10! (for Heaven was not asleep
The flames that flashed in air,
Blown out as by whirlwind's sweep,
Had left but embers there.
Her false accusers fed amazed;
The thronging watchers call:
"The maid is pure! The Lord be praise 4!
She did no wrong at ALL"
And awed by her divine defense
They hasted rev'rently
To bear the gentle martyr thence,
By Gods own sign set free.
But where the fire had round her burned
They caught a fragrance sweet,
For all the living Goals were turned
To roses at her feet.
Her innocence perfumed the place
Where SANDER sought her doom,
And over Hates malignant face
Smiled Virtues tender bloom
o Melopei thy trial, cast
In sterner times than ours,
Hath left unwithered from the past
Thy beauteous martyr flowers.
Still for thy wrong by Heaven redressed
In sweet red roses flame
The embers of that fiery test
That saved thy sanity name.

LIQUID Polish for Silver, Etc.

Four parts of washed pipe clay and one
of purified tartar, intimately mixed and
made into liquid by adding water, is
formula for a polish for silverware and
plate glass given by the Neurological Re
view which adds: The best agents for clean
ing silverware are all substances which
come under the head of carbonates of lime,
such as precipitated, not prepared, chalk,
burned hartshorn, etc. Precipitated chalk
when in an impalpable powded mixed with
water will ma Ike a fluid which will instantly
remove tarnish from silver or platedw ware
without scratching the most highly polish
ed surfaces.

Congressman Seerley wrote to the whole
sale dry goods firm of j. H. Walker &

the effect Of the tariff on linens and dress
goods such as are used every day in all
most every American household. Here
is the reply he received:
CHICAGO. MAY %, 1S9l-John J Seer
ley, Burlington, Iowa-Dear Sir: In re-
ply to your letter of the Goth, wishing to
be informed about the price of linens,
dress goods, and so on, as effected by
the tariff. the increase is from 10 per
cent, lowest. to % per cent, highest, on
the lines mentioned, including other SIM
liar goods. Yours truly,

J. II. Walker & Co. isn't a political
firm. 1t is business house conducted
on business principles. Its word is to
be relied upon. TIE people will have
no difficulty in deciding as between its
yeracity and that of the high tax press.

that the tariff has raised prices.

Making a Record.

The investigation of the bribery
case in the California legislature, re-
suited, as here, in nothing more than
whitewash" for few Republican
leaders whose garments were furnished
by contact with the corruption that
was rife during the Senatorial contest.
The minority report was adopted by a
vote OF 40 to 81, all til, cmocrats and
five Republicans voting against it.
Senator Carpenter, Republican
member from Los Angeles, states the
present situation in the following for
chile language: 1.-The Republican
party won the last election mainly on
the strength OF the rottenncss of the
last Democratic legislature. If the
Democrats do not sweep the State two
years hence upon the record which the
Republican legislature has made this
session, then am no prophet. San
Francisco will go overwhelmingly
Democratic, for throughout the entire
session the mayor and others have
been imploring us country members
to save San Francisco from its mis-
representatives. The backbone OF
Governor Markham and the judgment
he displays in cutting down a million
dollars worth of appropriation bills
may save the State to him for four
years hence"

President and directors Of this 0rgani-
cation are meeting To- devise means
for delaying the completion OF
OBricu'S ROAD until the time allowed
10y his almost expired charter clapscs.
They tempt his chief engineer and
foreman ami offer them heavy salaries
to quit worl; and bring with them Il
thousand Of O'Bricn's laborers. The
engineer, however, remains loyal to
his employer, and the engineer is
O'Brien himself. The iinancicrs, ioiled
in their plan, get out court injunc-
ton on some technical point oil law
against further work. They arrive ut
Rocky Gorge and search for the con-
tractor TO serve the papers. As OBrien
is nowhere to he found, the attorney
of the rival road, with Il detective,
proceed to brihe the workmen to
strike. The laborcr through whom
this scheme is effected, again happens
to be O'Brien in disguise When the
strike occurs it is precisely at the
period in which the golden spike is
being driven. Induced by the enemy
the laborers stop work. There are
two gangs, Italians and Irish. O'Bricn,
desperate at the delay, excitcs the na-
tional jealousy of the two races, and
finally wins, by calling on his country
men not to desert him. The Irish
men go back to work and minute
before the charter OF the road legally
expires O'Brien calls for three cheers
for the completion of the road. 1t is
here that Il mammoth locomotive
passes over the newly laid-track. In
the next act, the now Millionaire
O'Brien appears at the magnate's man
sion on Fifth avenue, in answer to
kilograms asking a price on his road.

latiun To- the unfortunate lynchlng
bee at New Orleans, that a. soon az he
realized his error, he took to his room

lers ever since. Members OF the dlplo-
matte corps say that Mr.. Blainc's tele-
gram will give the Italian government
all the ground it needs To demand
heavy indemnity, if it can be proven
that any of the men killed were its
subjects. But demanding and getting
are two things. No Democratic Con-

ton to pay indemnity for the killing
of lot Of thugs and murderers who
had made murder their chief occupa-

Of Harrison talk which has recently
cmanated from Republican Senators

Of the country, is the direct result OF
bargain between Harrison and Blaine,
whereby the latter agrees to give the

nominated if he can, and the former
agrees that in the event OF its becom-

nomination he will withdraw in favor

the truthfulness OF this story, but cir
cumstantial evidence is strongly in its
favor. 1t is not at all probable how
ever that Mr.. Blaine would have made
such a bargain if there was any proba-

1t is not belived that Mr.. Harrison
