DANGERS OF LONG WALKS.
Too Much Pedestrian Exercise Makes People
Dull, Cross and Thin.

LOO Mucn pedestrian Exercise Makes People
Dull, Cross and Thin.
From London Truth.
Few persons are aware that violent pedestrian
exercise, by generating more carbonic acid
than the lungs conveniently let off, fills the
system with poison and stiffens the muscles. 1t
is. for this reason, very dangerous if the heart
is weak. The professional pedestrian is hardly
ever 1.-the. whereas the equestrian is graceful,
because he takes exercise without filing his
blood with the poison have just named, the
immediate effect of which is shortness of breath,
sometimes with stitch in the left side.
Cyclists make journeys of hundreds Of miles
without getting knocked up. This is because
the lungs are not overstrained as in, say. a long
quick walk or pedestrian race. Alpine climb
ing is worse than running 1t has been noticed
that Alpine climbers whose forbears were not
time out of mind Switzers begin to break down
after eight or nine seasons Of mountaineering
and age prematurely. I am glad to know this
because care little for mountain scenery and
feel es if in Jail when Alp rises above Alp around
me. The strong sunlight from dawn to dusk
and the simple and reposeful horizon Of the
psain are far more congenial to me than the
Patchy lights and chillingly deep shadows Of
mountains.
Ladies. it also occurs to me. may be inter-
ested to know that muddy complexion is often
a consequence of violent clambering of hills,
the blood losing. when overcharged with car
bonic acid. its rudy glow, and the skin deli
cacy in trying to aid in working off the poison.
Soft, clear compilations are much more COM
mon in trolling" countries than in high lands.
The Swedish women have in this respect great
advantage over the Norwegian, and SO far as
can judge from personal observation the AYR
shire girls have more to be proud of than the
Highland lasses. Those who go in for pedes-
trianism and lawn tennis should carefully drill
their breathing organs to keep their good looks
(when blessed with them) or to improve their
appearance when they are not good looking.
Spirits suffer just as much as appearance from
the self-poisoning process Of which have been
speaking. Have YOU ever noticed what fear
fully dull and cross beings gentlemen become
after hard days Devastating?

Prom the Detroit Tribune.
He was a slender, blonde youth with sad blue
eyes and fresh-laid creases in his gossipy trous-
ers. He leaned against the bar slipping glass
Of sherry and looking tenderly at the portrait
Of some intrepid leader Of the Amazon march.
The old man next to him had Just ordered q
cocktail, when the younger man ignited a cigar
cite and blew the wreaths of smoke into the

from the electric fan.
The aged party shifted significantly, but said
nothing. Having completed the calisthenic
exercises connected with the connection Of the

his customers air caused him to face about and
survey the field to see II he had forgotten any

Is THE CORSET RESPONSIBLE
For Woman's Loss Of Silvery, Ripping
Laughter?-Perhaps 1t ID.

For Woman's Loss Of Silvery, Ripplins
Misunderstanding 1t ID.
From the New York Sun.
1t has become quite the practice to ascribe
to the wearing Of the corset most of the sins
of omission and commission the ills and evils
of womankind, and the latest charge to be laid
at the door of the girdle Of bone and buckram
Is that it is responsible for the decadence of
woman's laughter. Certain it is that the "soft
ripple" the ringing melody" the musical
trill' Of woman's laugh is rarely heard save in
the poets fancy, rarely INDUCED in by any
woman outside the covers of the novel.
The woman out of the book smiles immod-
era.ely il she has pretty teeth, and cackles a
shriIl accompaniment to the sharp staccato
shrieking that fashionable women consider
talking" which makes the historical ecstasy
of the afternoon tea like nothing so much as the
pandemonium Of a poultry show. But the low,
musical merriment Of a real laugh is indeed as
rare as it is exquisite. And the prosaic people
who go about the world classifying the colors Of
roses tell us that this ripping melody ID pro-
duced by the vibration OF the diaphragm and
the elasticity of the other respiratory muscles,
When this diaphragm is laced down with bones
and steels SO that it Is only by hydraulic power
that it pumps enough air into q woman 8 lungs
to keep her from dropping dead when ehe
stands it hasn't any strength to waste on get
ting up nielodious laughter, it grows pessimistic
and disgruntied, and doesn't see ANYTHING
funny in this hard-working life to laugh ct.
When the expression Of any sense becomes
difficult or impossible the sense itself becomes
weakened, rudimentary; thus with the loss Of
the art Of laughing comes . loss Of the sense Of
humor, and SO our women grow sadder, and .
sad woman is the greatest mistake in tho econ
omy of nature. Women and flowers and sun

What these figures teach is not precisely
known nor ever will be. As they are here pre-
scented they show the gerrymander in his worst
form, and that some of the states almost cut the
creature out by running their district lines as
nearly geometrical as may be gives reason to
hope that some day the gerrymander will be-
come extinct or that he will have only decen-
nial existence.
The millennium Is also coming, but the signs
for it are not very marked just now, and the
dead gerrymander is apparently as far OFF as
the millennium.
Honest politics is a sure exterminator of the
gerrymnnder and honest politics is a contradic-
ton of terms. In the meantime, however,
Gerry's state does not lead a gerrymander
producer. In fact, it is not in it at all.

THE FIRST OF rTs RACE.
Later. some one seeing the caricsture, IL it
may be called a caricature, remarked that it
looked like a salamander.
Say rather a gerrymander," suggested an
other, and the gerrynandeT on the instant be-
came q recognized organism. and the name of
II was Incorporated into the language when its
fitness had been tried ard not found wanting
That same year (1Si2) Gov. Gerry was elected
70 the vice presidency on the ticket with Jas.
Madison. and in 1914 he died suddenly in Wash
ington city while driving in his carriage.
For many years the gerrymander-the word
IL both noun and verb-throve SO poorly that
It seemed as if this climate was unsuited 10 it
and final dissolution must ensue, but as time
went on and politicians grew apace in numbers
and devices, IL not in grace and morals the
gerrymander began TO find life was worth liy-
ing. and in these later years il has grown to
fine proportions. and scarcely a state is without
one at every political change Of its legislature.
There have been famous and infamous gerry
manders,and one party usually attempts TO out
do its opponent in the style Of the animal it
turns loose upon the people.
As evolution is an interesting study not only
IN zoology, but In politics, perhaps it might
prove instructive to give q few examples of the
evolution and development Of the gerrymander,
taking the original. of course, q basis. Omit
ting the intermediate stages let Us come down
70 the conditions Of the gerrymander as We find
1t today in various states Of the Union
Giving New York the lead it is observed BY
the redistricting Of 1892 that the most notice

cinctly. That word was ''gerrymandsr," which.
evolved by chance, has become part Of our
American English.
In 1912 Elbridge Gerry, who was a democrat
without IIugvumpic tendencies and signer Of
the Declaration Of Independence, was governor
of Massachusetts,. after two previous Intellectual
attempts TO get there. He had succeeded on =
very narrow margin and it naturally occurred
TO him that his party needed strengthening. so
he set about devising ways and means to that
end, and the result was. according TO Wor-
cester's definition: ITO rearrange electoral dis
tricts, Of state part of it. 30 as to enable
one political party TO return greater number
of Representatives than II Is fairly entitled to-.
Whether the definition Is perfectly correct or
not is not for discussion here; it is enough that
Governor Gerrys plan worked as he wished
II to. and he made the towns Of Chelsea, Lynn,
Marblehead, Salem, Lyoufeld, Danvers, Mid
dletor, Andover, Methuen, Haverhill, Ames-
bury and Salisbury into a congressional district,
which, while II gave his party what it wanted,
also gave such q conto-ted and unusual outline
