MECHANISM OF WALKING.
A Description of the Muscles Used and
the Work They Do.

TIE chief muscles concerned in
walking, says the London Hospital.
are those in the calf and back of the
leg which, by pulling up the heel,
also pull up the bones of the foot con-
nected with it, and then the whole
body, the weight of which is passed
through the bones of the leg. When
walking the trunk is thrown forward
so that it would fall down PROSTATE
were not the right foot planted in time
to support it. The calf muscles are
helped in this action by those On the
front of the trunk and legs which
contract and pull the body for
ward, and the trunk slanting forward
when the heel is raised by the action
OF the calf muscles, the whole body
will be raised and pushed forward and
upward. This advancement of each
leg is effected partly by muscular ac-
ton, the muscles being (l) those on
the front of the thigh, bending it for
ward on the pelvis; (2) the hamstring
muscles, which slightly bend the leg
on the thigh; (S) the muscles on the
front of the leg, which raise the front
OF the foot and toes, preventing the
latter, in swinging forward, from
hitching in the ground.
When one foot has reached the
ground the action Of the other has not
ceased. There is another point in
walking. The body is constantly sup
ported and balanced on each leg al
ternately, and therefore on only one
at once. Hence there must be some
means for throwing the center of gray
ity over the line of support formed by
the bones OF each leg, as it supports
the weight of the body. This is done
in various ways, and hence the differ
ence in the walk of different people.
There may be slight rotation at the
hip joint. bringing the center of gray
ity of the body over the foot of this
side. This rocking motion of the
trunk and thigh is accompanied by a
movement of the whole trunk and LEG
over the foot planted on the ground,
and is accompanied by compensating
outward movement of the hip. The
body rises and swings alternately
from one side to the other as its CEN
ter OF gravity comes alternately over
one or the other leg, and the curva-
twe OF the spinal bones is altered with
the varying position of the weight

FINEST AFLOAT,
How United States Navigator Earned
His Reputation.


One of the most distinguished nav
igatOrs in the United States navy was
engaged, some years ago, as uavi-
gator on one of the Old-fashioned
sailing-ships of the navy, and, as it
was his first billet, he was very de-
sirouS of making a good impression.
For the first few days he took his
reckOnings with the greatest care.
But when the ship had been out sew
eral days he forgot to wind the chro-
nometers which kept Washington
time, says the ArgOnaut. It was i'm
possible to make any calculations on
the ships position. He did not dare
to tell the commander of his mishap.
and so he continued to take the alti-
tude of the sun every dav
in the most serious manner and re-
ported the ships position. He was
only able to estimate his position by
dead reckoning-a very uncertain op-
GRAFTON. Early one morning, when he
thought they must be near Barbados,
their first destination, he called a
young sailor to him, and said: ssMy
man, | want you to go to the mast
head and look out for land; and when
you sight it do not call out Land hor
in the usual manner, but come down
quietly and tell me about it, The
sailor ran up aloft, and when at about
seven bells or half-past eleven o'clock
he saw a thin blue streak to the south
ward. he ran down from aloft and re-
ported it to the navigator. $50 aloft
and report land in the usual manner
at eight bells" said the navi-
gator. Hardly had the sailor reached
his perch when the captain came
on deck, and walking to the naviga-
tor, said: About what time shall we
sight Barbados, SIR" At precisely
eight bells, sir" was the answer.
What" cried the captain, do you
pretend to be able to figure to the
minute the time We will sight land?
Why, | never saw a navigator who
could figure within two hours, and |
have seen some good ones" At that
moment the bell struck eight times,
and the cry of Land ho." rang out
from the masthead. The captain took
his navigator's hand and said: You,
sir are the finest navigator ahoat. and
| shall report your splendid work to
the department" The captain kept
his word. He wrote to the navy de-
partment about the excellent work of
his navigator, which was the direct
cause of his promotion.

Wonderful Adironl,ok Echns.

in the wood encircled Adirondack
lakes. A single whoop will be tossed
about a dozen times from a bit OF
woodland edging the lake, and when
the last echo seems to have died away
some more distant woodland will sud.
denly take up the call with increased
lOudness, and the sound will at length
fade out in extreme distance. The
nearer echoes seemed to be filed with
the inexpressible freshness of the
woodland, and it is hard to believe

SADDLE RIDING AN ART.
Mrs Rollin NJ Squire Tells How to Sit
Properly on Horseback.

Mrs. Rollin NJ. Squire of New York.
recently contributed to the Syracuse
Post, an article on the art of horse
back riding. In it she gives this de-
scriptiOn of sitting the saddle.
A proper seat in the Saddle should be
the first lesson of the beginner. The
right leg is firmly grippad around its
pommel, the left foot in its stirrup.
and the left leg comfortably tight
under its pOmmel. Equal energy
should be exercised by both legs. The
left leg should be perfectly straight
from knee to stirrup, and held in that
position during the entire ride. A
serious fault with some women is the
perpetual swinging of the left foot.
like the pendulum of a clock, thus de.
ranging the skirt and exposing the
loot, and making a general uncouth
appearance. Again, with this motion.
1t Is almost impossible to maintain a
good seat. The right leg, below the
pommel, should be pressed CLOSELY
against the shoulder Of the horse, and
sufficiently downward to prevent the
toe OF the boot from interfering with
the straight drop of the riding skirt.
BY keeping the right leg close to the
horses shoulder the rider is in a no.
sition to be made Immediately aware
OF any proposed change of action on
the part of her mount. Should a
horse be at a trot, lope or canter, he
cannot change his gait for the pur-
pose of rearing, shying or plunging
without necessary change of muscu-
lar action. This change, at its in
ception, is at once made apparent to
the rider who sits as above described.
1t IS the lack of knowledge OF this DO
sltion and a proper grip of the POM
mel which results in so many accidents
to women.
Now that the legs have been dis
posed with regard to the pommel. the
seat in the saddle and the position of
the body should receive attention.
The rider must acquire the habit of
sitting perfectly erect, with the left
shoulder in straight line with the
right. This effectually prevents
slouching, SO called, in the saddle.
Many women have a habit of throwing
the left shoulder back, which is un-
graceful in the extreme, and it has
been my hardest experience to insure
correction of this glaring fault.
While such position is unsightly it
cannot long be maintained without re-
sulting in STOPPING. The beginner
must be kept from indulgence in this
fault from the very first. The elbows
should hang perfectly straight from
the shoulders and close to the body.
thus bringing the hands just back of
the right knee.
