A SENSATION was caused at Railway,
n. j., by the announcement that John
Hough. poor old man living with his
married daughter, had fallen heir to
over s1,OOo,0OO. The money had been
bequeathed to him by man in Cali
fornia whom Tough had nursed through
a severe attack of typhoid fever. Two
lawyers appeared at Hough's house and
produced letters testamentary from the
surrogate of the county in which
Hough's benefactor died; also other
documentary evidence that convinced
Hough of the truth of the story, and he
is preparing now to collect what is
due him

RECEIVING EXERCISE.

Turkish Bath, Floor Rest and Othor Meth
DDS Described I'm Detail
We American women have at last be-
come fully aroused as to the Importance
of exercise, says q writer, and with
characteristic energy we all-nen,
women and children-have gone at IT,
and are exercising indoors and out OF
doors as hard and fast as ever we can.
This would be a fine thing if our lives
were not quite so full and hurried and
if we were as a people tride more
stolid
Unfortunately we have yet to learn
the meaning of the word rest-nntil we
do, exercise may prove to the majority
of us, dubious blessing. s
Now, why not be exercised? The
Turkish bath is one step in that direc-
ton, and the floor rest is another.
Any woman who is fortunate enough
to command the services of a lady's
maid, or who can call in an attendant
at stated times, or can secure the Co
operation of her own family, can re-
ceive exercise instead of exercising.
When a long and hard day or social or
serious duties is before or behind her
.
and stimulating the respiration is good
and most efficacious.
Have warm blanket or drugget,
kept especially for this purpose, spread
smoothly on the floor. Then get into
loose garments and place yourself at
full length on this hard bed for half an
hours manipulation.
When you lie as limp and Indifferent
as rag baby, your attendant, whom
you have previously instructed, gently
rolls and kneads your body, lifts and
drops and twists and swings your arms
md legs.
The head-the body's fifth limb-re-
ceives much the same treatment that is
given the legs and arms, but should be
handled with special entleness.
Your own duties consist in, first, as
surlngg yourself that your breathing is
full, free, anu controlled by the dia-
phragm, and then in surIeaderinp your-
self to a nirvana-like indiffereace to
all things. s

an who for some years past has in
