HOW TO GET STRONG.
An Athlete Uses i Steel Ring to In
crease the Size of His Arm.

MY feats amaze YOU" said strong
man Sampson the other day, accord
ing to the New York Advertiser, and
yet you can duplicate everything
have done in a little time. All you
have to do it to follow these rules
which / now give you: Be regular in
meal hours and eat good, substantial
food. / usually contine myself to
eggs, meat and rye bread. Take a
great deal of outdoor exercise and
sponge the body daily with cold water.
Have a steel ring made three Fights
of an inch larger than the size of your
arm. and make sure it fits tightlg.
Place it round the upper part of your
arm This will prevent the bloc from
circulating as it should Then raise
your arm slightly; this will cause the
rubbing of the upper muscle Close
your hand slightly, but with great
strength, thus forcing the blood to-
ward the muscle In your first trial
bend the arm slowly until the blood be-
comes accustomed to the exercise.
Within two or three weeks you will
perceive that the arm has grown too
large for the ring Then have a larger
one made AID continue the practice.
Exercise longer each time, but before
you place the ring in position rub IL
and your arm well with oil to prevent
the skin from breaking. Finishing this,
battle the arm well with cold water to
cool the muscles.
IF any person follows these simple
instructions, I win guarantee that in
side of three months he will be able to
hold out seventy-five pounds at arms
length with one hand. To strengthen
the lungs buckle a strap around the
chest and take in a deep inhalaaon of
air Soon you will feel the resistance
Of the strap; continue this for about
ten minutes three times day and you
viii soon be capable Of bursting the
strap with ease by simply expanding
your lungs. Don't use tobacco"

ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED.
Lewis Bennett OF Wilmington 4
Drowned.

Lewis Bennett Of WILMINGTON is
Drowned.
Lewis Bennett, "a years old, a native
of California, was found dead on Tues
day evening, floating in the waters of
Wilmington harbor. Three quarters OF
an hour before the body was found Ben
nett had been working on board of q
lighter Of the Wilmington Transports
tion company, and it is unknown how
he fell from the barge into the sea.
When found. which was nearly three
quarters of an hour after his absence
was noted, Benefits body was rolled up
in the orthodox style on barrel, as il is
prescribed in the laws and regulations
that are laid down for people whose
breath has been stopped short by i'm
mersion, but the efforts were useless.
DR.. Gates held the inquest yesterday
about noon at San Pedro, and his jury
returned verdict of accidental
drowning.
Sam Bennett, brother of the de-
ceased, telegraphed Messrs. Garrett &
Samson, the undertakers of $50 N. Main
street, to come down this morning to
make arrangements for the funeral of
the deceased, and these last rites will
take place at noon from the Commercial
street depot. with burial at the Jewish
cemetery, Rabbi Edelman officiating.
The deceased was one of family of six
sons and three daughters, the father
and mother still being alive.

ONE of the pitiful results of the ex.
travagance OF recent years hereabouts is
the financial condition Of some of oui
churches. 1t is true that only few
have been hopelessly loaded down, 80 as
to lose their church buildings, but a
great many are carrying a terrible bur-
den OF debt. Let US hope that these
may be lightened and some day lifted
and then let us also pray that if boom
days ever must come again, they may at
least find the churches proof against a
property craze that means extravaganza
of living with all its bad examples

THE immediate friends of the San
Pedro harbor plan are good deal dis
couraged over what must be the moral
effect OF the late report OF the engineers 3
board. While San Pedro is commended
rs the most available point at which to
make a barbor at moderate cost, the
board cid not urge any necessity for
haste nor advice immediate appropria-
tion If the report is as published), but
on the contrary they do say that there
is no pressing demand for such a harbor
at present The public mind seemed to
have caught the favorable reportin favor
of San Pedro to mean much more than
it really does. In substance it is a rec
ommendstion to establish the harbor
there, when the government is really
called upon to establish one anywhere.
This hardly answers the expectations Of
the San Pedro advocates in the matter,
who thought something was to be done
much earlier than now seems possible.

facts through new friend or an old

decides for himself. Hundreds of per-
sons are settling down, all about us, to

us have to face. These make little show

the local journals, but they are the only
men and women who really contribute
the forces that lie at the bottom Of all
growth and all prosperity. They make
life and not show and noise. They build
themselves and their purposes and
hopes into the community. They know
what they want. They buy and pay for
what they need. There is no moral
hazard in dealing with such folk. They
keep the law and will insist that others
keep it. They risk their little savings
in the community and they will do it no
wrong nor suffer it to be done. They
will stand by the free school, the little
library and reading room, the church
and the saving institution of every sort.
They have given hostages to fortune in
the children who are in the new homes,
and who will, in their turn, make other
homes. In word, we have the begin
ming of permanence and balance and
the real symmetry of community life,
and this means not only individual gain,
but those other things that will give us
the type and the fruit of good society
and good government.

IT is pleasant to know it is Besant. It
is also nice to know, once for all, what
her belief-she who has had euch a
stock of second hand mantles descend to
her. In confidence she told reporter
that there is a physical body that is
tangible "snd has feshly feel" In
side this is an astral body which, can be
let out and drawn in again by'merely
taking in the slack. Within this astral
body exists the intelligence which, the
madame Gays, is the soul. The princi-
pie of being can be sent out from here

THEN AND NOW.

Never Was this city growing 30 fast as
now-measured by the true standard
and never was the region round about
it attracting new comers, in such num-
bsrs as are this very winter settling
down to make themselves permanent
homes.
This is moi apparent, perhaps, to a
casual observer. There is no appear
ance of excitement about the real estate
offices, nor upon the streets, as the
boom days showed; but this is because
the way of doing things is all made over.
Let us trust, indeed, that we may never
again witness the old scenes. Let US
fondly and fairly hope that never more
will men-and women, too-stand in
line waiting and puehing for chances to
bid on town lots in regions they never
saw nor heard of before, white the blare
of brass bands and the Drswl of
the boomer were heard on every
hand. 1t was a curious and de-.
moralizing strife which was bound to
have its day and die. 1t did not have
its origin in California and it will not
stop with California. 1t was greatest
here, perhaps, because there was in the
picturesqueness of surroundings an
added charm to the ordinary land craze.
But all this is gone, as we have said,
and forever, too. The visitors and pros
pectors in Southern California today are
they who have studied the country and
have learned what it has for them and
what they want. The newcomer does

THE HEAVENS IN THE NORTH.

From the last days of May to the
end of July in the northern part of
this land the sun shines day and
night upon its mountains, fiords,
rivers, lakes, forests, valleys, towns,
villages, hamlets, fields and farms,
and thus Sweden and Norway may
be called the land of the midnight
sun. During this period of contin-
uous daylight the stars are never seen,
the moon appears pale and sheds no
light upon the earth. Summer is
short, giving just time enough for the
wild flowers to grow, to bloom and
fade away, and barely time for the
husbandInan to collect his harvest,
which however, is sometimes nipped
by a summer frost.
A few weeks after the midnight
sun has passed the hours of sunshine
shorten rapidly, and by the middle OF
August the air becomes chilly and
the nights colder, although during
the day the sun is warm. Then the
grass turns yellow, the leaves change
their color, wither and fall the swal-
lows and other migrating birds fly
toward the south; twilight comes once
more; the stars, one by one, make
their appearance, shining brightly IN
the pale blue sky; the moon shows
itself again as the queen of the night
and lights and cheers the long and
dark days of the Scandinavian win
ter.
The time comes at last when the
sun disappears entirely from sight
the heavens appear in blaze of light
and glory. and the stars and the moon
| male before the aurora borealis.

THE AGE OF lINIlI4LS.

A butterfly lives only few weeks,
a crow may live more than century,
and swans are said to live sometimes
over three hundred years. An emf
nent naturalist tells of a falcon that
was one hundred and sixty-two years
old. A white headed vulture, eaGght
i'm 1905, died in 1926, in the aViary OF
the palace of Schonbrunn. near yien-
ma, where it had been in captivity one
hundred and eight years.
Again, parrots and ravens think
nothing of tumbling about the world
for a hundred years or more, and some
of the birds with which we are well ac-
uuainted, the ordinary cock, unless
he has his head cut off by IL cook or
her confederates, lives from twenty
to twenty-five years a pigeon, save
when it vanishes into Il pie dish, lives
about ten years. A nightingale in
captivity, may live ten years, and a
thrush fifteen; but when they are
free, they live much longer.
OF auadrupeds the elephant lives
longer than any of his friends and
brethren he may reach the age of
four hundred years. And, you will
think, he looks as if he is made to
last a good while. A camel is old at
forty. a lion and bear at twenty
AS for the whale it disports itself in
the sea for some three hundred years;
and no tortoise is considered to have
attained Il ripe old age before it is al
| least ninety years old.

LoldOn's Underground Water

The chalk under London can no
longer be looked upon as source of
great additional supplies of water
This is already utilized by upward of
zoo wells, and while at the commence
ment of the century the water when
tapped rose in many places to the sur
face it stands now at level of about
40 feet below Trinity high water
mark 1t is considered that the rate
of depression now varies from one
to two feet per annum. The effect
of the continuous pumping of water
from the chalk has thus been to low
er the plane of saturation, whereby
the flow of distant springs and streams
has been more or less seriously affect
ed Practically, the amount of water
pumped from the chalk under Lon
don is so much taken from tine streams
that are fed by the natural overflow

In all your prayers, said Bunyan,
forget not to thank the Lord for His
mercies. When thou prayest, rather
let thy heart be without words than
thy words without heart. Prayer
will make make man cease from sin
or sin will entice a man to cease from
prayer. The spirit of prayer is more
precious than treasures OF gold and
silver. Pray often, for prayer is
shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God
and a scourge for Satan.

PATIENCE.

BE patient! Easy words to speak
While plenty fills the cup of life,
While health brings roses to the cheek,
And far removed are care and strife.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
OF those| often think of this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience is.
Be patient when the suff'rer lies
PROSTATE beneath some fell di ease
And longs, through torturing agonies,
Only for one short hour of case.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than ii can bear.
To feel the torture of delay,
The agony of hope deferred,
To labor still from day to day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard.
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward of fortunes kiss,
This is to almost conquer fate,
This is to learn what patience is.
Despair not, though the clouds are dark,
And storm and danger veil the sky.
Let fate and courage guide thy BARK,
The storm will pass the port is nigh.
Be patient, and the tide will turn,
Shadows will flee before the sun,
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light us till our work is done.
