Inexact.

Rent day in Paris is very important
occasion. The landlord is king in a
realm where exactitude Is not only en-
couragcd but enforced. An English
man says that he once went to see n
landlord about some matter connected
with the house he hired. The French
man proved to be very suspicious and
inquisitive old gentleman, who had
made his fortune in the candle trade.
"What do you sell?" he inquired. Tho
Englishman acknowledged that he
made his bread by writing for the
magazines. The landlord shrugged
his shoulders II am afraid" said he,
"that you will not be exact with your
rent, on the fifteenth Of the month" "
lie evidently had old-fashioned notions
of literature as well as the other arts,
and preferred that his tenants should
be, like himself comfortably in trade.
So, in order to vindicate his vocation,
the Englishman went to call upon him
in person, on the fourteenth, rent in
hand. ~ told you sov' exclaimed the
precise old merchant. 81 knew you
wouldn't be exact, at the day and the

HOW WE WALK.
The Muscles Used and the Mechanical
Work They DO.

The Muscles Used ana the meChnnical
Work They DO.
The chief muscles concerned in walk.
ing are those in the calf and back of
leg, which by pulling up the heel, also
pull up the bones of the foot connected
with it, and then the whole body, tho
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 ac-
tion by those on the front of the trunk
and legs, which contract and pull the
body forward, and the trunk slanting
forward when the heel is raised by the
calf muscles, the whole body will be
raised and pushed forward and up.
ward. This advancement of each leg
is effected partly by muscular action,
the muscles used being first those on
the front of the thigh, bending it for.
ward on the pelvis; (second) the ham
string muscles, which slightly bend the
leg on the thigh; third the muscles or
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 supported ano
balanced on each leg alternately and,
therefore, on only one at once. Hence
there must be some means for throw
ing the center of gravity 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 differences in the walk
of different people. There may be
slight rotation at the hip joint, bring
ing the center of gravity of the body
over the foot of this side. This ''rocls
ing" motion of the trunk and thigh is
accompanied by movement of the
whole trunk and leg over the foot
planted on the ground and is accom-
panied by a compensating outward
movement at the hip. The body rises
and swings alternately over one or thu
other leg, and the curvature of thu
spinal bones is altered with the vary
ing position of the weight.-Londoi

RUNNER AND LAZARUS.
Story of Generous Dos Who Protectcds q
Friondicgs Old Cur.


A homeless dog strayed into q san
Francisco engine house, and was madc
welcome by the jolly firemen. Though
they named him hummer they treated
him kindly, fed him, made him bed
nnl gave him the freedom of the house.
hummer repaid their kindness by
devoting himself to his new friends.
He ran with the engine TO every fire,
marched with 1t proudly on parade,
kept other dogs out of its way and
guarded the men If they needed his
care. lie was seldom off duty unless
hunger prompted a visit to a ncighbor-
ing restaurant, where friend of his
engine kindly fed him.
One day, after eating a hearty meal
there, he crammed his mouth with
meat and bones and trotted Off. He
did the same the next day, and the
next, Then he was followed. Going
through several streets he entered a
small, dark, dirty alley, and, at its
farther end laid the food before half
starved dog; then, wagging his tail in
satisfaction, he kept guard while the
old creature ate.
Learning that hummer was support
ing friend the hremen went to SEQ
what attractions there were about tho
old dog. They found miserable,
dirty skeleton with broken leg.
Much of his hair WINS gone and his body
marked with sores and scars, telling of
recent and earlier battles. Though
they saw nothing desirable in the old
fellow, Bummer's kindness and wistful
look conquered.
The old creature was taken to the
engine house, his leg put in splints, an
addition made to Bummer's bcd and
the newcomer given a share in the
others rights. To the dog with sores
tho flremen gave the name of Lazarus.
Kind treatment and good food showed
their effect on Lazarus, but could not
make him young again. He rcgained
strength, recovered the use of his leg
and was able to walk about, but never
to run far with the engine. His duty
seemed to be to guard the house while
his younger friend attended to the en-
gine In the streets.
The old fellow appeared to be the
butt of every cur in the ward. The
meanest and most cowardly canine OF
the street need only sec Lazarus away
from his business and there followed a

battle successfully, yet he seemed to
know nothing about victory. Ho was

of defeat when the other had a chance.
After few battles Lazarus yasslct

never If his champion was out of hear
ing. The strong dog need but hear tho
faint yelp for aid OF his venerable
friend and there came like black
flash through the streets something
that sent the aggrcssor tumbling over
and over without knowing what had
struck him. If the scamp desired to
fight he must meet Bummcr's strength
and prowess; usually the battle ended
with the champions first charge.
Though kindness and care prolonged
the life of Lazarus, they could not
stop tho later approach of death. 1t
came slowly but surely. The old dog
ceased to eat, nor would he try tho
incest dainties. Bummer's watching
and the attention OF the fremen, ap-
preciated by the old fellow, made his
end easy.
The men made a box, placed the body
of the dead dog in IL, and, followed by
hummer, carried 1t out to vacant lot
and gave it decent burial.
A change came over hummer after
his friends death. He lost friskinesa
refused to follow the engine, declineo
food, would not take. medicine, and
seemed to be grieving himself to death.
Though he received the attention OF
the fircmen kindly, he showed no in
terest in them nor anything they did.
Sitting at the door Of the engineroom,
or lying in his bed, he allowed time to
PASS as though he had lost all interest
in life. Thus he gradually wasted
away, died from grief and starvation.
A few weeks after the death of Laz-
arus Bummer's dead body lay in the
same bed.
The flrcmen made a neat box for a
coffin, and carried their friend to a
pleasanter vacant lot than had been
used for the other, and, while some
dug rave for hummer, others dug

THE GRIZZLYS PLUCK.
He Can Do Plenty of Damage When r

Personally l have more respect for
his majesty, the grizzly bear, than for
any other animal l ever trailed, the
tiger not excepted, writes w. 7. Horna-
day in an article on the bears of North
America in st. Nicholas. 1t is quite
true that many an able-bodied grizzly
Is caught mapping and killed dead
eosy," as the baseball language says,
but so are big tigers also, for that mat
ter. In fact, l know of one large tiger
weighing within five pounds of five
hundred, who was promptly laid low
by two bullets from mere pop-gun of
rifle, and there was no fuss about it,
either,
1t Is easy enough to xiii u grizzly at
q good safe distance of hundred yards
or so, which allows the hunter to fire
from three to six shots by the time the

But to attack a fully-grown and wide
awake Ursus horribilis in brushy
ground at twenty or thirty yards dis
tance is no child's play. AS an old
hunter once quantity expressed 1t to
me: "a grizzly bar'll git up an come
at ye with blood in his eye after he's
nominally deadl" The point of it is,
this bear Is so big, and so cnveloped in
long, shaggy hair, his head is so wedge
like, his strength and tcnacity of life
so great, and his rage when wounded
so furious that at that short range he
is hard to kill quickly, and kill so
dead that he cannot get q blow at the
hunter
The strength in grizzly's arm Is
tremendous, and when the blow comes
accompanied with claws five or six
inches long, like so many hooks of
steel on q sledgc-hammer, it tears to
shreds what it fails to crush There
are many authentic instances on rec
ord of hunters and trappers who have
been killed by grizzly bears, and be-
lieve it could be proved that this ami
NAL has killed more men than all the
other wild animals in North America
combined, excepting the skunks and
their rabies.
In the days of the early pioneers, the
only rifles used were the muzzle-load-
