How to Go Up and Down Stairs.

II a girl wants to learn TO occupy stairs
with fair amount OF self possession, she
can do 1t. This Is case where practice
brings perfection.
To begin with, hold the body erect,
whether going up or down. Don't give an
imitation Of q man with cramps. Hold the
body and shoulders In line horizontal TO
the fiat OF the steps Then don't climb all
over. Most women use their elbows for
propellers or oars They jerk themselves
up stairs by them. Hold the elbows we'll
down BY your side Ind mount from the
knees. II is an art to acquire this, but once
gained 1t IL a wonder how one persisted 70
long in usixg every joint in the operation.
Don't plant the entire foot with square
solidity. That Is what Injuries the muscles
Of the back and jars tho body. In going
up stairs press the ball Of the fcet on the
tread Of the stairs and secure a spring from
that to carry to the next tread. In coming
down, poise on one foot and land we'll for
ward on the ball and toe Of the other foot.
And don't, for mercy's sake, toe In. Lift
the skirts In front as you mount and leave
the long, graceful line from the waist To
the skirt hem undisturbed. Buffalo News.

whore soldiers Are Shot.

In the work on gunshot wounds, DR..
Ludwig Brandt gives some interesting sta
tistics about the Franco Prussian war In
1901. The number of officers and men oi
all ranks belonging to the German armies
who were wounded during the war amount
ed to the immense total of 1851. Ofthess
99, ,566 survived, IL ,023 died in hospital, and
G, ,223 died on the field Of battle.
The wounds of those who were under
hospital treatment, including the wounds
of those who died in hospital, were thus
distributed: Wounds of the head, II OIL; oi
the neck. 1922; of the chest and back, Ii !
495; abdomen, 4,553; upper extremities, 49,
914, and of the lower extremities, 1850,
while in 3,721 instances the situations OF
the wounds have not been recorded.
A noticeable fact is the unusually large
proportion of wounds of the head, which
nearly equal those of the chest and back to-
gether and approach three times the mum
Der of those of the abdomen The number
given III, ,041), however, includes 2.13O inju-
ries to the face.
The wounds by rife bullets more than
double the. number of those caused by artil.
lery projectiles, but the information in this
respect is not of much value, as out of {, ,09o
gunshot wounds of the face in no fewer
than 1893 instances the particular projee

not been recorded. British Medical Jour

Curious Statistics of the Blind.

The people of Russia are more terribly
afflicted with the infirmity of blindness
than any other race, sect or nation on the
globe, the proportion being q to every TO-.
600 Of population In 1886 there was an
official census taken of the blind of Europe
These statistics show remarkable state OF
affairs, especially in European Russia, the
Caucasus and Poland. In the countries
named there was total of 1882 persons
who were entirely blind The whole Of the
remainder of Europe land mind this in
cludes the thickly populated countries Of
Germany, France, Spain, Holland, Bel
GUM, Great Britain, etc. only has blind
population numbering 1882, while the
three Americas, North, Central and South,
with their islands, have less than %, cooper
sons who are totally bereft Of sight.
In the Caucasus the women, especially
those of country districts, are more liable
to cecity than men, the proportion being
about q to 10. In Poland there are 25 blind
men for every IA blind women, the same

AN oLo rIMe pRospEcToR.

Sixty Thousand Years Axo.


Sixty Thousand Years Ago.
Texas has had its old settlers strstchinR
away back toward the dawn Of creation, the
hems of whose garments tradition does not
reach, but whose careers were probably as
full Of wild adventure as that Of any Indian
or Mexican fighter that has ever adorned
the pages of Texas history. One Of those
old settlers was found about 10 days ago by
d. d. Pittman while digging well ON his
lot on Thomas avenue, Dallas.
At depth OF 80 feet below the surface,
and after blasting through stratum OF
limestone four feet thick, Mr.. Pittman
found a human skeleton in the poster
tiary sands. The skull, finger bones and
other thin bones, on being brought in con-
tact with the atmosphere, crumbled away
to powder, but some Of the larger bones
stood the test of atmospheric exposure,
and, beyond the crumbling Of the articulai
surfaces, are in good state of preservation
This Is particularly the case with the thigh
bone.
1t in all other respects resembles the
thigh bone of modern man except as to its
anatomical neck, which DR.. Armstrong,
the city health officer, says is not shaped
like that of the present race. However, as
nature adapts itself to its surroundings, 1t
is to be expected that there was some dit-
ference between the fore and aft movement
of the thigh bone that was in use 10000
years ago and that of the present time.
The bone, while as thick and heavy rs
that of man Of medium height, is only II
inches long, which would represent a man
about feet 2 inches high, or about the
stature of an Eskimo. and taken in connec
tion with the geological formations, those
of the second glacial period. in which the
skeleton was found there is hardly any
doubt but that it belongs to the Eskimo
race
The cold Of that period destroyed the
northern tribes, except such Of their hardi-
est members as escaped south. That there
was southwark movement Of Eskimos In
those days is as certain as that there is now
winter movement Of tramps from the
rigorous climate of Iowa and Nebraska to
the more genial one of Texas. Doubtless
this poor Eskimo lived between the paleo-
lithicand neolithic periods-the ages of un-
polished and polished stone weapons, mark
ing the hiatus in the Bible between Adam
and the period where connected history be
gins.
What wonderful story could this skele-
ton tell IL it had tonguel But here the
question suggests itself, Had this Eskimo
yet reached the origin Of languages Did he
say yes" or did he merely nod his headi
How did he string the echoes of his
thoughts togethers Unfortunately the
skull, that part of it most valuable to
science, has crumbled away.-Galveston

AN Improyement For ships.

The proposal to sheath ships with copper
coated with mercury is attracting atten
ton. The idea is that such an arrangement
would effectually prevent barnacles from
adhering to the bottom of vessels In or
der to keep the mercury on and to prevent
oxidation, the copper would be constantly
charged with electricity. This would bring
about another interesting possibility, Any
gold or silver that might be in the water
would be precipitated ON the bottom of the
vessel, and it could then be scraped ofi
when the vessel arrived in port. York
