Keep the Knees Bent, Lean Forward and
Lift the Feet Very Slightly.
Physiologists'a and lovers of athletics
may be interested in recent expert
ments and researches of a French
artillery captain, NJ. de Raoul, who,
some fifteen years ago, began to try
and find out the most economical and
least trying way of walking. There
are many manners of walking, says
the Popular Science News. some of
which are much devoid of grace, but
it may be supposed that as far as eff
cheney is concerned one must be better
than the others. M. de Raoul has
come to the conclusion that, as far as,
fast walking is concerned, the best
method is that which he calls marche
enfexion. The principle is to run
without leaping, to- raise the body
above ground as little as possible, to
keep the knees bent, the upper part of
the body inclined forward, so that
practically you are always running
after your center of gravity The feet
must be raised only very slightly. NJ
de Raoul, who has now some years of
experience, says that he can now take
any man between twenty and sixty
and teach him to run as long as his
legs can carry him without getting
out of breath. Some men can, on the
very first trial of the method, run seven
or eight miles without stopping, while,
with the ordinary tactics, they could
not have run over one mile. The first
lzilometer Ga kilometer is five-eighths
of a mile) is usually covered in seven
minutes and quarter. the second in
six minutes, and the third in five min
utes and forty-five seconds An inter
esting feature of NJ. de Raonl's re-
searches is that even after a long run,
according to his method, stiff WALK is
no trouble at all; the muscles which
work in both cases do not belong to
the same set. and while one exercise is
performed the muscles which minister
to the other rest.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Oea1ness cannot De Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rum bling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
| this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever /;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Some OF the influences that made the
American citizen should have our attention.
And first | remark that if a. free govern
meut is to have stability, endurance, its
citizens must give their love and ale
glance TO institutions, to principles, to con-
situations rather than TO leaders. And
herein is very largely the explanation of
the stability of the American Union, its
comparative exemption from domestic in
surrectioDs and its absolute immunity
from successful revolutions. Our Span
ish American neigh bors on the south are
lovers of liberty: they are brave and
spirited, but they have not learned to
value civil institutions. They follow a
cockade rather than a constitution and the
sad result is that revolution succeeds revo-
luton and their great resources lie Unde-
veloped. Not so the Anglo-Saxon-for

another king but 20 build institutions.
Their religion tended to creeds and their

Mr.. Grote attributes TO the Greeks that

which is characteristic of the Americans.
He says: But in the mind of every man
some determining rule or system. some
thing like what in the modern times is
called the constitution, was indispensable
to any Government entitled to be called
legitimate or capable of creating in the
mind OF a Greek a feeling of moral obliga-
ton to obey it. The fnnctionaries who
exercised authority under it might be more
