A Walk for Women to Initiate.

A writer on the great need Of the CON
servation OF the nerve forces Of the
modern woman advises her to force her
self to move slowly even II in a hurry,
and to try in walking to initiate the
gait Of the city policeman, adding that
there is no danger that she will succeed
In copying 1t exactly. The appropriate
ness of the model offered is obvious.
since the dis!nclination Of the official de-
fender Of the peace to hasten his steps
even in seasons of extreme need has be-
come proverbial. and his measured.
swinging gait seldom varies. The nerv-
Gus woman is advised to keep still out
wardly even to her finger tips II she
would acquire rest and quiet Of mind.
and to allow herself no motion that has
not its definite purpose and aim.

England Freer than America.

To the Editor:
Smoky Hollow wants to know what English
men know abou, free country. Well. English
consider that they live In the freest country
In the world, and they are not alone In this opln-
ton. Max o'Rel, the Frenchman, who was not
particularly friendly towards England. as some OF
bis writings show, has and over again as
serted that England was freer country than
America. Within the past week Mr.. Con and the
Rev. Or. Macarthur have made practically the
same remark. Queen Victoria has nothing what
ever to do with making laws for the English peo-
pie. She has less power than the President. and
reiCns. but does not rule. The idea that a Repub-
lie must necessarily be freer than even a limited
monarchy is shown to be false In the Gaze Of
France. where arc forced TO serve In the
army whether they want to or 80 white in Eng
land service is purely yoluna-v ind the less we
hear in New York Of that -1a cry OF freedom
while We arc under the rule .ng Croker and
the Tammsny regime the better.

marching would stretch over $500 feet and with
the space between the regiments. 200 feet. cover
100 feet. and that when It came or was COM
Ing. to halt, would stretch 1900 feet,
with 100 feet between the regiments making IT
cover in this case 1000 feet. ] was in error.
The regiments while marching would stretch
over 4.425 feet with 200 feet between them or
in all ICES feet, and when coming to a stop they
would stretch over 1915 feet. with 100 feet be-
tween them. OF In all 1876 feet. The difference
between +,625 feet and 1875 feet, or $3.50 feet,
divided by sJ2, the number OF feet the army
marches in one minute gives s ll7-l7s which
is the number OF minutes between the two orders.

Making HnllieS.

A well-kept baby will walk when he
gets ready. He doesn't need any les
sons. Let him alone. See that his falls
are broken and his hurts kissed better,
but don't teach him to be tramp. Urg-
ing a child to stand alone is an ex-
cellent way to cripple him for life.
When the young birds wings are strong
he knows it and flies off. AS soon as
the babys legs are strong enough to
support him he. too, will stand up and
walk Off. Give him a chance.
