said to me, The whole secret Of working
down the waist, and a-a-hem-the
thickness below the waist don't you
know, lies in exercising the arms. First
go through the swimming motions for
fifteen minutes, then raise yourself
slowly on your toes, extending the arms
above your head, and inhale
deeply. The muscles thus exer-
cised work off the fat Then
go through the arm motions with
one-pound dumb-bells. But that is
not all. She used the expression, the
whole secret, but il wasn't, as she pro-
ceeded to show. Women are so ineXact
in their nse of words; although those ex-
ercises certainly are the principal ones,
as the swimming motion is what takes in
the waist.
But next you want to stand up straight
and draw up the knee to the distressing
thickness. This is one Of the West Point
exercises. Then sit on one chair hook
your feet in the rung of another,
and fall slowly backward and lie on your
back and raise your legs slowly If in

turtles is pursued They train. or at least
take advantage Of the instincts OF certain
species of tish, The FISH Is called by the
Spdniards reve (meaning reversed), because
its back Is usually taken for It's belly. II has
an oval plate attached TO its head whose sur
face Is traversed by parallel ridges. BY this
plate IL can firmly adhere 10 any solid body IL
may choose. The boats which go in quest OF
turtles each carry a tub containing some OF
these reeves. When the sleeping turtles are
seen they are cautiously approached. and 5
soon as they are judged near enough reye is
thrown into the sea. Upon percciving the
turtle, its instinct teaches II to swim right

reye allow itself 10 be pulled 10 pieces than

BEND Low AND HARK.

Bend low and bark with me. my dear,
How the winds sigh,
A voice is on them that l fear
1t brings the by-gone days so near,
Like souls cry.
Those whom we bury out Of sight,
How still they lie!
Beyond the reaches of the light,
Outside the realm of day and night
Do they not die?
Shall we unbar the long closed door?
You, dear, or 1:
Could love be what IL was before
If we should call them back once more
And they reply?
Would they life's largess claim again?
They draw too nigh.
o, winds be still! You shall not pain
My heart with that long-hushed refrain
As you sweep by.
The dead have had their shining day
Why should they try
To listen to she words we say,
To breathe their blight upon our May?

weigh from 1000 TO LOO pounds apiece.
They are fed chiefly on cracked corn and

the queen prefers gentle horses, and does
not care for speed. Every day when she

what the weather is she takes her drive.
All the horses not otherwise used are

The Steamship of the Future.

Sir Nathaniel Barnaby, the late
Chief Constructor of the British Navy,
has given the weight of his high rep
utation to the possibility of construct
ing ship for Atlantic navigation
which will be 1000 feet long and 800
feet broad, with engines of 10000
horse power and an ocean speed of
fifteen knots. This ship he described
as "steel island" which will be in
capable of entering any dock, at any
rate as at present constructed, having
several engines working side by side
He thinks that a draught of twenty
six feet of water need never be ex-
ceeded. 81 do firmly believe" said
Sir Nathaniel, chat we shall get the
mastery over the seas, and that we
shall live more happily in a marine
residence, capable of steaming fifteen
knots an hour, than we can ever live in
Il seaside town" This project is not,
however, intended to shorten the dur
alton of a translantic voyage, but to
make it more tolerable while it lasts
Most of the efforts hitherto made to
deal with the problem Of Atlantic nNvi-
cation have aimed at speed as the first
essential, and have left out of account
the possibility of making such me-
chanical provisions against nal de mer
as would enable the most squeamish OF
passengers to contemplate an Atlantic
voyage with perfect equanimity. In
this direction the achievements of the
last half century have been truly mar
velous Manufacturers Gazette.

Trees are felled by electricity in the

comparatively soft wood the tool is in
the form of an auger, which is
mounted on carriage and is moved
to and fro and revolved at the same
time by small electric motor. AS the
cut deepens wedges are inserted to pre-
vent the rift from closing, and when
the tree is nearly cut through an ak or
hand saw is used to finish the work.
In this way trees are felled very
rapidly and with very little labor.

has been dropped. The land office

question. Recently William Hycks

Yuma, He denies the jurisdiction of
the court to try his case, citing the
authority of the treaty of Guadalupe

1ygienic Value of Perfumes.

DR.. Anders, of Philadelphia, few
years ago made the interesting dis.
covery that the ozone in the atmo.
sphere, the element which is the great
purifier, was mainly supplied from
blooming fowers-and for this reason
blooming plants were healthful in
dwellings as well as attractive! Some.
interesting experiments with the odors
of flowers have been made in the old
world, and it is found that many
species of microbes are easily de-
stroyed by various odors. The odor
of cloves has been known to destroy
these minute creatures in twenty-five
minutes; cinnamon will kill some
species in twelve minutes; thyme, in
thirty-fve. In forty-fve minutes the
common wild verbena is found effec-
tive, while the odor of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms of
microbes in fifty minutes. The essence
of cinnamon is said to destroy the
typhoid fever microbes in twelve min.
utes, and is regarded as the most eff
fective of all odors as ON antiseptic.
1t is now believed that flowers which
are found in Egyptian mummies were
placed there more for their antiseptic
properties than as mere ornaments or
elements in sentimental work. Nee

substance is on the point of catching
fire, when the oil separates and
may be poured off. Oneyolk will yield

The dismantlement of Worlds Fai1
structures has in one respect proved a
godsend to the poor of Chicago. In
jackson Park there were recently 1000
wagon loads of excellent frewood
which the officials were glad to get rid
of. The Chicago Relief and Aid So
ciety obtained permission to cart the
wood away, and put up the following
sign on the park fence near the Sixty
second street gate: Gree Wood for
the Poor" Any person with horse
and wagon is now admitted to the park
and allowed to take away all the wood
his wagon will hold, the only condi-
ton being that he shall present per-
nit from the society. The pile of
debris through which the wood is scat
tered has length of 300 yards, width
of 100 yards and a height of twelve
feet. 1t consists of baskets, boxes and
barrels. The man in need of fuel has
only to delve in this pile to get as SER
viceable kindling wood as could be
found anywhere. The applicants are
foreigners for the most part, and iudg-
ing from their ragged coats and pinched
faces, they could get the means of
warmth for their families nowhere
else.
