way Her life has been spent estheti-
caIly. She is conversant with nature
from early childhood, and having moth
ing else, probably, to do, she reads her
lessons IN mountain streams and storm
beaten rocks. Miss Siskiyou is a healthy
and strapping dame. She has remark
able strength and her powers of en-
durance would shame a San Joaouin
mule into committing suicide. GEN
orally she is a capital shot. and with
her brothers and father has assisted at
the slaughter of bear, which abound in

rod, and as rider she could give points

stair Climbing.

Stair climbing is splendid exercise
provided it is properly carried on. The
figure should be perfectly erect and the
weight of the body thrown upon the
ball of the foot. With many people, the
first thing is to bend forward when they
attempt to go up stairs, so that more
than half the weight of the body is car
ried by the muscles of the back. Where
as if one goes up stairs properly, the
weight comes on the skeleton, and the
lifting is done by the large, strong mus
cles of the calves of the legs, which are
perfectly able to do the work. Stair
climbing should be deliberate and no
one should suffer who does it in a pron.
er manner.-Dr. ]. a. Kellogg.

THE HANDY HAlRPIN.

In the Hands of Woman 1t Becomes
an instrument of Power.
A woman can do more with a fairpin
than man can do with any one instru-
ment in existence.
She takes it to button her shoes, to
crinp her hair, to fasten her hat on.
and (beg pardon) to scratch her head
10 button her gloves and the waist
buttons of her dress, to pin her veil, to
manicure her nails; and, alasl sometimes
to pick her teeth.
10 clean her comb, and to cut the
pasted label on her powder box. And
she can use it as paper-knife, or a
oook-mark; to open a letter, or to draw
a device upon seal
II she twists the ends, it becomes a
tape-needle, or a safety pin, or a key
ring. 1t is a very decent bodkin.
In an emergency, it is as good as an
ordinary pin; better, in fact, for it can
be made to do double duty.
IL supplies many of the missing intri-
cacies of buckles, suspenders and sup
porters; and repairs any damaged do
mestic article requiring few inches of
wire and little feminine ingenuity.
A woman traces a pattern with a hair
pm dipped in her shoe -blacking; and,
smoked in the gas, she uses it to pencil
her eyebrows,
II no one is looking, she win use it
for a nut pick; and if her husband is
not at home, she viii take it to clean
his pipe or cigarette-holder.
And if he Is at home, and after he has
broken his pocket-knive and hunted
heIplessly all over the house fora .spiece
of wire, she will draw her hair-pin
with plying look, and clean ont the
gas burner, or reopen the waste-pipe
OF the stationary bowl.
how often is the hair-pin the hidden
power that holds back the lace window
curtain, or poises the autumn leaf
wreath on the edge of the picture frame.
How often does it replace the lost

A long, stout hair-pin placed over the
stem OF the door-knob, with the prongs

A woman can use a hair-pin as a cork
screw for any kind of bottle she cares

HIS CONSCIENCE SQUARED n.

Inc Honest Young Man Who Found q aB
Gold-Pieee and Finally Kept 1t.
There was ring on the stone side
walk and the young man stopped and
picked up a coin.
He held it in the palm of his hand and
looked to see what it was. He looked
honest and even after he had discover
ed that it was a S5 gold-piece instead of
penny he didn't close his hand over 1t.
He looked up the street and down the
street-not .furtively, but inquirinQlv.
His face showed that he was looking
Tor the person who dropped the coin;
not to see if any one was watehinghirn.
In one direction he saw three men
who had passed the spot about the same
time; in the other man and woman
OF whom the same was true. He made a
move as though to .overtake one Of the
three men, but stopped, hesitated mo-
ment, and then thrust the gold-piece
into his pocket
Then it was that little man who had
been an interested spectator tapped
him on the arm and asked:
Does that belong to you?''
No returned the youth, .Does it be-
long to you?''
No But l infer you are going to
keep it."
Yes, unless the owner claims it.
DO you think that's honest?'
The youth knitted his brows.
''Well, don't know, he said. ..You
see it's just this way: If knew who Il
belonged to I'd return it, but I'd rather
keep it myself than have some other
fellow get it who had no claim to it.
