Physical Culture.

In walking the heel should not be brought down too firmly. A part of the weight of the body belongs upon the toes, and when due proportion is thrown thero it gives an elasticity to the gait which is lost when it is not properly distributed. Walking with the heels raised from the ground is good exercise, although fatiguing ono. Hopping on each foot alternately is an- other. Dancing is a valuable accom- plishment for children The conscious ness of being able to dance well gives ease and self possession to many a young man and woman who would otherwise be bashful and awkward on their first entrance into society. The little people usually delight in the rhythmical motion. and if it is not com bined with late hours 1t does them noth- ing but good, says a writer in The La dies Home Journal, who adds:
 All outdoor games that involve run ming and active movement of any kind aro useful adJuncts ill physical develop ment. An immense amount of eXerCisa is taken under the guise of diversion BattledOor and Shuttlecuck which was long favorite amusement, is capital indoor game where there is room to play it and might be revived with ad- vantage. Bean bags, colorcd hags filled with beans and aimed at a ring or other mark, and the form of Quoits played on shPhuar'l with rings nf rope may be utilized tu furnish exercise on rainy days. Especial attention should be paid to ventilation when tho children arc ex- ercising indoors. The respiration is quickunc,i, the lungs demand more air, and there should he plentiful supply of oxygen to meet it.

A HOUSEHOLD scRAPeooK.

If Carefully Made, It Will Prove a Con- venient and Valuable Reference Volume.
 A scraphook with tho pages already mucilaged is very convenient, but if one cannot procure such a book take an old school atlas and cut, about an inch from the binding, every other six leaves, through the entire book. For conven- fence in referring to clippings the book may be divided into sections something like tho following: Animal, vegetable, mineral, political, social, domestic, for eign and miscellaneous, allowing, say, ten pages to each section, or, if one is apt to have greater number of clip pings ill one section than in another, a greater or less number of pages may be allotted, as the case requires. A few pages can be left for biographies and pictures that accompany such sketches. A further subdivision of these sections may be made, if desired, for example:
 Tho 'vegetable'' section may be class ed garden, flower and forest, and the others similarly. Thus, with an index on the first page, one can refer to a clip ping without a moments delay.
 Now, after the clippings have been carefully trimmed, dampen tho reverse side with a slightly moistened sponge if the first named book is used, but if tho atlas mucilage brush is necessary. Be particular not to wet overmuch, for in either case the moisture will ooze from the edges of the clippings, and the in- evitable smeared and torn page is the result. A dry cloth should be used to press down clippings and absorb excess moisture.
 Clippings accumulate very rapidly, and after a two weeks delay it is no slight task to catch up again, and it is therefore best to paste every evening. The author of the foregoing, a corre- spondent of The Household, also inti- mates that a scrapbook in the family may be the means of assisting the moth CT to determine tho inclination of child's mind.
 She says: Give each child a scrapbook and instruct him to fill it with what ever material he likes best, and one will contain q prepOndcrance of animals, another machines or flowers or histor- ical notes, Us the mind inclines.

Rain Costumes

Modern women not only indulge in outdoor sports, but it k the correct thing to go out every day whether the weather Is fair or rainy. The fashionable wum- ans costume for rainy weather is be- yOnd rrprnach. As described by the New York Herald, it is made of tweed or Scotch serge, quite short, so as to clear the ground, very simply made with coat and plain skirt, looks trim and neat and when felt hat Is worn the outfit is complete. She wears heavy hHtS. in some cases waterproof ones made of calf skin. with cork snleS and coming high up on the ankles. Some wumCn wear low shoes. rull"rs and thrn gaiters. This last plan k'rV7 thu feet and ankles absolutely dry, but it gives an extreme ly clumsy app, Irance even to the small est ankles When the snow or mud is deep, skating boots arc quite de rigueur These are made of heavy leather, arc laced and come far up on the calf of the leg. They have invariably broad sOles and low, flat heels
 The fin de sieclo girl has quite given up ruffled petticoats for rainy weather, instead of which she puts on under a serge gown her black satin or cloth knickerbOckcrs, and buttons on n pair of leggings that reach from foot to knee

With several coats of paint of some desirable shade and the addition of a small brass rod, from which curtains may be sus- pended, the bookcase will be completed. A few brass hooks can be screwed under the bottom shelf. on which teacups or other articles may be hung.
 A convenient and decorative bookcase may be matlu from q wooden shoebox and square wooden box such as canned goods come in, the boxes to be screwed fast side by side and a cornice molding nailed around tho top of each. Shelves should then be arranged tho proper dis tance apart to receive books of regular size, and six wooden balls made and arranged under the case to raise it up from tho floor.

ROASTED BY ROBBERS.
Aged Couple Tortured by Fire Until They
 Gave Up Their Money.


 Gave Up Their Money.
 TOLEDO, March 5-Jacob Shonbrick, living 35 miles northwest of here, was brutally tortured and robbed. He is a well to do German farmer and has kept his money about his premises About dawn four masked men entered tho house. They first bound and gagged the 15- year old daughter, who slept in a room off tho kitchen. The others were then seized. Tho l2-year-old boy and the elder daughter were bound and gagged and tied to q chair. The old man and his wife wcre easily ovCrpOwercd
 The old man was ordered to point out the hiding place of his money He denied having any but one of the men told him if he repeated that story his head would be blown off. He then took them to his sleeping room and tore up the carpet un- der the side of the bed next to the wall and brought out about Sl 200 in bills Three of the men wcro about to leave when the leader told them he knew thero was moro than that in the house The old man denied it.
 The cook stove was filled with wood, and soon rcihut fire warmed the room. Tho mon then took the old man and held him over tho flames after removing the lids, burning Eis feet and the calves of his legs terribly. IIo remained nbduratc Again they held him over the stove until pain caused him to faint. They then sciz- ed Mrs. Shonbrick and threatened the daughters with indignitics, but all denied knowledge of any more money in tho house. The men took the old.woman and held her over the flames until she was terribly burned. She refused any infor- nation. Again they raised her over tho stove, when she screamed that she would tell where the rest of the money was hid den. She was then SD badly burned they were compelled to carry her. She directed them to the cellar where, under a barrel, was concealed over $4,OOO, which they took and hastily left the house.
