Americans are bad walkers, says o
writer in the New York World. 1t Il
rare to find an exception, even in our
Army. Among Europeans, and the alb
origines of our own continent, a noble
mien is not uncommon. understand
the causes of this ugly defect among our
people, and my present purpose is to call
attention to it and to point out the
remedy.
In the English and French books on
the military drill and physical training
whole chapters .discuss the subject OF
walking. We are told that this or that
part OF the foot must touch the ground
first-that the angles must be so and so,
etc / win not say this advice is not
right, but win say that very few have
been helped by it.
Look at a good walker. Shoulders,
head, and hips drawn well back and the
chest thrown forward. What a firm,
vigorous tread Snch walk may easily
be secured by carrying q weight upon
the head. An iron crown has been de-
vised for this purpose. Tt consists of
three crowns, one within the other, each
weighing about nine pounds. One OF all
three may be worn at time.
The water carriers of southern Europe,
although belonging TO the lowest class,
hav noble bearing. Certain negroes
in the South, who @tote" burdens upon
the head as a business, can readily be
pointed out in crowd. The effort re-
quired to keep the burden directly over
the spine so developed the muscles of the
back and neck that in the absence Of the
burden the head Is carried in a noble,
erect attitude.
BY carrying one Of these crowns upon
The head half an hour two or three times
a day while walking in the garden or
through the halls Of the house, one may
soon become a fine walker. One-tenth
OF the time occupied in learning few
tunes on the piano given 10 this exercise
would insure any girl noble carriage.
The crown is not necessary. Any weight
which does not press upon the very crown
Of the head, but about it, will answer the
purpose equally well.

rHE HoRsE IN BED.



One Of the best known society womer
Of Philadelphia spends the spring month,
in her country place, few miles out OF
the city. This lady, who may be called
Mrs. Stellcart, although that is not her
name. went out there with her family
few weeks ago. Soon after opening the
country house her husband arrived from
the West, where he had been on business.
bringing with him a magnificent Ken
lucky saddle horse, which he gave to his
daughter Eleanor for a birthday present.
Not long afterward the gentleman was
again called away from this part of the
country, and that same afternoon his
wife discharged the coachman for being
impudent. When evening came on Mrs.
Stellcart was in a quandary. She knew
that the horse had to be taken care OF
and she didn't know exactly how to do
IL, so she said 10 her daughter:
Eleanor, we've got TO put Toag to bed.
recollect hearing your father tell John
TO be very careful TO bed him down
nicely, so we must do as well as we can.
They went TO the stable, and took from
the carriage house the cushion OF a
wagon seat, and couple of horse
blankets. Then they repaired to the
stall in which the Kentucky saddle horse
was rapidly growing hungry, likewise
weary. Mrs. Stellcart and Eleanor
placed the cushion where they supposed
the horse would use il for pillow, and
managed to arrange one of the blankets
10 serve in lieu Of a mattress. Then they
tried to coax Toag to lie down, in ordep
that they might throw the other blanket
over him and tuck it in nicely about his
heels But, for some unaccountable
reason. Toag would not lie down. They
tried to coax him and throw him off his
feet, but the greatly estonished horse at
last protested so strongly that the ladies
gave up their work.
Their house il situated half a mile
from any other, and they did not know
what to do. But at last bright ides
struck Eleanor, and she with her mother
hurried to the front gate and stayed there
until two men passed by. These were
called; the situation was explained to
them. They didn't understand it at first,
but Mrs. Stellcart finally burst into tears
and begged them to come in and put the
horse TO bed. The men willingly walked
to the stable and looked at the stall for .
moment. Then they leaned against ths
wall and laughed until they were nearly
exhausted. Toag went 10 bed as usual
that night, but he didn't sleep on the
cushion of a wagon seat and covered
with blankets.
Every day since this occurrence those
two men have made it a point to walk
past Mrs. Stellcart's residence, stopping
by tue front gate long enough to roar
with laughter 80 she could hear them.

Colonel @Arp, of Georgia, talking to
Kansas Star interviewer about the
Georgia Cracker, said: "a gentleman
recently told me of an experience of his
up among the mountaineers. My friend
was an unusually handsome man, and
the daughters took a great liking to him.
The girls flew around and got up tho
best supper the house afforded, which
was poor enough at that. After we had
been seated one of the girls turned TO my
companion and said:
@'Stranger, will you have your eggs
one eyed or blindY
@It took him some time to think out
what was meant, but he finally managed
70 make out that the girl meant done on
one side, or turned over. III take mine
blind, he answered.
@'WeIl, do you want 'em loose or tight
in the middleT
Again he was confused, but after an.
other mental effort he surmised that the
girl meant done through soft or hard.

A gentleman who has been in the Bad
Lands of Dakota to his sorrow says they
are composed of white clay, which, by
the action Of rains, has been cut into
hillocks. They are not high, seldom more
than 40 or 80 feet, but it is up one and
down another the whole way. You can
not follow the water courses, for there ara
none; gully, 40 or 80 feet deep, with
foot and half Of mud at the bottom. is
the nearest approach to water course In
the whole region. At every few yards
you must stopa with spade and shovel
cut path down the side of hill in or.
der to descend, and then up the side OF
the one opposite in order TO get up again
The mud is as sticky as tar, and in going
a few yards the wheels of a wagon be.

Dealing with Suicides ae Monte Carlo.
A gentleman from Monte Carlo says
they have neat way of dealing with
suicides at that famous gambling resort.
A well dressed handsome man lost at
play one night and remarked that he was
ruined. He walked into the last OF the
series Of gambling rooms and shot o
pistol ball into his brain. AS quick as q
fash an attendant threw open a window
that reached to the ground, and two
servants carried the man through the
window and laid him on the grass with
out. A roll Of bills was showed into his
waistcoat pocket, and next day the
officials declared that the man had COM
nitted suicide in the park, and that as
he had plenty of money on his person
the reason for his act was mysterious. =

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition OF the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition OF the. mucous
surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars
fol any case OF Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by tax

GRADING WHEAT.
President Butt Of the Wisconsin,
State Alliance. Makes q Good
Suggestion.

state Alliance. Makes q Good
Suggestion.
VIRoQUA, Wis.,, Sept. l, 1891.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
l see by your paper that the ques-
ton of grading wheat on sales is
making quite a stir in Minnesota and
the Dakotas, and as a matter Of
course this must be so, as a misgrad-
ing opens the door for great frauds.
Let me propose this plan, which is
not original with NE, as knew a
milling town where 70 runs of burrs
were kept in constant rush in 3 mills
and the grading all done in this way,
and in fact all the wheat buyers OF
the vicinity graded by the rule, which
is as follows:
LIST. The farmer must have his
wheat sufficiently clean SO the pur-
chaser will buy.
End. Weigh the wheat to he sold.
3rd. Weigh / bushel sealed meas
ure and thus get exact weight.
4th. Divide the whole weight OF
the load by 60 when the bushel
weighs so lbs.
9Th. If the bushel weighs less than
go lbs. divide the weight of the load
by a number as much greater than
60 as the bushel weighs less than 60.
For instance if it weighs So, divide
by 60; if Sc, divide by GA.
9th. If the bushel weighs more
than 60 lbs, then divide the light
of the load by a number as much less
than 60 as the bushel weighs more
than so. For instance if it weighs
81, divide by So; if ga, divide by Sc,
and SO on. | cannot say that this
would be absolutely fair; but it is
much better than guessing when The
guess is all on one side, at least ]
think so. Yours for the right,
C. NJ. BUTT.
THE plan suggested by President
Butt in the foregoing letter is good
one, but this state would be restrict
ed in it's application to milling sta
tions. The discussion here is not as
to the best methods OF securing
weights,-that is fixed by law. The
controversy is as to what quality OF
wheat shall be assigned to certain
grades.-ED
