THE ART OF MOVEMENT.
ref Easily Acquired by Little People Ad
dicted to Quick Motions.

k<et EASILY Acquired by Little People Adj
dicted to Quick Motions.
Every girl desires personal grace, the
grace not only of the spirit but of the
BODY, and wishes it should fill and con-
duct all her motions. If she is born
long limbed and has kept herself supple
py sufficient exercise, and knows in
stnctively something of the attack
and retreat of gesture or of movement,
she may have her desire without much
eHort. But if she is stubby little
body and always in a hurry she is not
the one to illustrate the grace except
after special instruction. Grace is by
no means necessarily an animal char
acteristic, because horse may be grace
1ul because of his long curves and the
exhibition they receive from the lus-
lrousness of his coat, because of the
sowing lines of name and tail, of the
Iree movement without let or him
drance, the long step, the slender limb
and the whole beauty of his contour
But anything more awkward than a
cow it would be hard to find. And
again, although hound or a great
rough St Bernard dog is full of grace,
each in separate way, pug or a bull
dog is as clumsy as it comes within the
power of any living thing to be.
Although the first idea of grace Is
that of slow and leisurely movement,
yet there may be quite as much grace
IN the rapid one, in the sweeping fight
nfa bird, in the floating of the WALTER,
go Ne sinuous circling of the fish, in
the leaping of cat-that thing OF
curves and bending ease. The real
grace of motion is that which has no
sharp corners and angular lines, no
halts Or stumbles; IL may be slow, it
may Ne swift IL must be on the idea of
the cutved line. Now this rounded mo-
ton cap never be achieved by the fac
cid and. languid muscle any more than
by the stiff one or by the lame one.
The muScle must be good one, filed
with tho red blood and the new cells of
exercisel answering instantly the con-
troll of 1.-THE nerve and sound with
health. Vhe long and slender limb,
that lools in repose as if it should have
the movement of a dream of grace, is
useless if It's muscles have no mastery
of it, if the muscles themselves are so
rigid that the will has little control of
them, and only exercise, and that of
an intelligent sort, will make that limb
obedient II the will and make the will
know howIto order it. This reason,
among 9th hrs of still more consequence,
makes gymnastics of great value in the
education bf girls. OF course they are
of still greater value in relation to their
general health, in the expansion of the
chest, the ordering of the internal econ
omy, the barring of the body's weight
and much bore of the sort.-Harper' S

A living FISH NET.
The Singular Spectacle Witnessed by a
Traveller In Oceanica.

n
Traveller In Oceanica.
At Tetulla, one of the islands of
Oceanica, ". Agile Martin witnessed a
peculiar me thod of fishing. The scene,
as he describes it, is picturesque and
interesting. The costume of the
natives of Tetuila is kind of short
tunicI of sea weed or leaves They
powder the hair white with chalk and
Weir wreaths of gardenias or red
hibiscus on their heads and around
their necks The warriors, unlike the
men of peace, powder their hair red.
AS their locks are very long, they have
quite terrible appearance.
At a signal all the inhabitants of the
village assembled on the sea shore.
There were about two hundred per-
sons. They plunged into the water
each carrying branch of the cocoa
palm.
At a given distance from the shore
they turned toward it, and formed a
compact half-circle, each one holding
his palm branch perpendicularly in the
water, thus forming kind of seine.
The leader of che party gave a signal
and this living net approached the
shore gradually, in perfect order, driv-
ing before it a multitude of fishes
Surrounded by this living wall, and
caught in the cocoa palm branches,
MANY of the fishes were cast on the
sand by the waves and others were
killed with sticks.
/ The women gathered up the fishes in
baskets. Some were at once taken to
the cabin Of the chief of the village
and some were cooked for NJ. Marin
over hot Goals, and given to him with
out seasoning, but with bananas and
cocoanut milk to complete the neal

WHAT SHE KNEW ABOUT DOGS.
A Trick That Cost the Cute Office Boy
Money and Peace OF Mind.


Nick is an Office boy employed on
Broadway. He turned up in the office
the other day with an ungainly look
ing eur hanging on to a tattered rope
which he had improvised from some
remnants in the ash barrel The chief
,aeris shook his head resolutely at
Nick's proposition that the canine
should become one Of the Office staff
Nick said it was too cold for thorough
bred dogs to be wandering about with
out.a home. The clerk said that it was
cur and had better die anyway. so
Nick led his acquisition off into the
street. He was looking about as de-
iected as the cur. when lady met him
who looked as if she might have picked
mn her information about CANNES at
the dog show. She accosted Nick and
asked him what he would take for the
dog.
ssSeventy-five cents" said Nick.
The woman took out a half dollar
and compromised. Then she led the
dog off in triumph.
When Nick got back 10 the Office the
chief clerk said to him: Nick, you re
in luck; there's ten dollar reward
offered in the Herald this morning for
your dog Nick began to feel giddy.
1.-THE description tallies exactly. Take
it around to Is Irving place and get
vour ten dollars" added the clerk.
Nick slid out of the office without maxi
ing any reply, and just as he reached
the steps of No Is he met the woman
who had bought the dog coming down
with new ten dollar bill in her hand
and a smile on her face which made
Nick 90 off and kick himself all over.-

OVER A PRECIPICE.
A PeriIous Attempt to Obtain n Peruvian
Mummy.


Mummy.
Explorers have found a great many
mummies in caves in cliffs among the
Peruvian mountains How the Indians
who entombed their dead in this way
reached the caves hundreds of feet
down the side of steep cliffs is a matter
of conjecture. A French traveller, M.
Weiner, narrates visit to one of these
sepulchres and the serious danger he
was in of ending his travels then and
there.
81 went with two Indians" he
writes, "to a point on high plateau
below which was one of the caves, and
had the Indians lower me over the
precipice with leather ropes. A jour
ney of hundred meters straight
downward made in such way, is ex-
traordinarily long. | arrived at last
at the tomb. 1t was half closed with
rocks. Invent in and found two skulls
and mummy. tied the skulls to my
belt, and taking the mummy in my
arms, gave the signal for the Indians
to draw me up.
'They obeyed, and gradually /
neared the top of the precipice. The
Indians had not looked over it and had
no suspicion of what ! was bringing in
my arms. When the yellow skull of
their ancient ancestor appeared above
the edge of the cliff the Indians were
terribly frightened and let slip the
ropes.
IL cannot describe my feelings in the
next second, the awful terror of begin
ming to fall. In my fright | let go of
the mummy, and it was dashed into
thousand pieces at the bottom Of the
abyss. But the Indians had not lost
their hold Of the ropes; they drew me
up again, and in a moment ! stood in
safety at the top Of the precipice.
MY superstitious Indians explained
to me that when those good people,
the mummies, are disturbed by Indians
they seize them in fatal EN- brace, and
they assured me that, as this mummy's
head rose into their sight, it opened its
mouth and would have uttered fear
full curse upon them had it not just
then been dashed to the bottom of the
abyss. Youths Companion.

TERRIBLE INDICTMENT.
An Awful Array of Charges Against the
Dram Shop.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, jr., pastor of the
Twenty-third street Baptist church, of
New York city, on recent Sunday
preached sermon on THE Modern
Saloon" In the course of his sermon
he claimed that the saloon swings open
more gates to hell than any other pow
er in the modern city. He is master of
invective and he closed his discourse
with the most terrific indictment of the
saloon that We remember ever to have
seen. The most tragic feature of it is
its entire truthfulness. There is no ex-
aggeration; it is simply a graphic
statement of awful facts.

vigor, manhood in its strength, and age
IN it's weakness.

MARIETTA, O., Sept. 1.-Elias Arm
strong, colored, was arrested to-day on
the charge OF rape on the person OF
Mrs. VIM. Wendleken. The assault, It
is alleged, took place Friday night last
under the following circumstances:
Mrs. Wendleken, at about 1920 that
evening, was at the gate at her home
on Third street, waiting for her hus-
band to come home. Armstrong
came along and told her
that he had seen her husband In COM
pany with two women at the show
grounds, in the lower part OF the city,
Upon hearing this she started for the
show grounds, Armstrong following
her. When she reached very dark
and lonely spot on Butler street, be-
tween third and Fourth, which is
taken up almost wholly by the
Cleveland and Marietta Railway
yards, Armstrong caught up
with her, and grabbing
her, threw her TO the ground, sitting
her cries, and succeeded in accomplish
ing his purpose. She made her way
home and the next day reported the
matter to her husband.
Monday morning they went before a
Justice and a warrant was issued for
Armstrong; arrest, but he had made
his disappearance. He showed up to-
day and was promptly nabbed by Mar
shall Dye.
Mrs. Wenkelken is young white
woman who has borne a good reputa-
tion. Armstrong has been In several
scrapes before, but none so serious as
this. 1t is only fair to hi1, however,
to state that be denies any assaultwhat-
ever and says that he did not even lay
his hands on her.
The matter has been kept very quiet
and did not leak out until the arrest
had been made. The preliminary hear
ing will take place tomorrow morning.
