HOW MEN SHOULD UftoS.
Edmund Russell Names Some of tie Things
to 10 Avoided.

W Jo AFOlucus
1t is best to leave pockets out of
the coat, as, when filled with papers,
checkbooks. ETC., their unequal pres
sure has tendency to discourage
the poise The same Of the vest.
Pressure answers pressure, and if
four buttons press on the stomach
and mono on the chest the stomach
will press out, and tho chest will
fall With all sack, summer and
Prince Albert coats the poise will be
greatly improved if the vest is not
worn.
If you have q good figure, wear
as few clothes rs possible. Pressure
will destroy both its natural lines
and its union as whole.
If you have work to do in the
world, wear as few clothes as pos
sible Pressure weakens nerve force
and wastes personal power.
The we'll poised chest should
bring tho full weight on the ball Of
tho advanced foot, and line drop
ped from it should just touch tho
front of the toe. This also gives the
correct poiso Of tho head, which
takes its expression from tho activ-
ity of the chest.
Having tho strength ut tho Gen.
ter and control Of the body line,
another youth can DO attained by
resting the extremitics in every
way. They do tho nervous work,
while tho center holds tho control
ling force.
Head, hands and feet through
their connecting joints of neck,
wrist and ankle, should DO free for
motion and action, and each year
should be trained to higher motion
and action. The neck is the bridge
between head and torso, most CON-
pick in structure and most impor-
tant in growth. Its freedom is abso-
lutely necessary to expression.
This knocks out the high collar.
Aside from NIL facts of beauty, the
collar in front should never come
above the point where the head and
neck join. In tho back it can be
higher, as tho pressure is supported
by the bony structure.
Tho hand should never bo stiflcd
by o glove. It is q most nervous
and susceptible structure and needs
all tho freedom possible. Gloves
mako wrinkles in the face and ex.
haust vitality.
Tho shoe should never touch the
ankle, and all lacings and button
ings should be avoided. Much ia
tigue can be avoided by keeping the
foot supple and active. Even the un
dcrclothcs should be loose and never
of the nature Of tights, as all pres
sure wastes force.
After the attention to these point!
of structure and growth good taste
in simple grays and browns, neat
ness Of line and the beauty of few
jewels is all the art allowed to man

CHOCOLATE AND COCOA.
Their Difference and Some of the Secrets
Of Their Proper Making.

OF Their Proper Making.
The difference between chocolate
and cocoa is simply that cocoa is
chocolate from which the oil has
been extracted. AS half Of the CO.
Goa bean is cocoa butter, the differ
ence is considerable. Cocoon butter is
used by confectioners, and the de-
mand for it 80 far exceeds the sup
ply in this country that over 1000
tons of cocoa butter were imported
last year. It is the cocoa butter
which gives the gloss to the sweet
chocolate cakes sold for eating, for
sweet chocolate is nothing but
mixture of chocolate, cocoa butter
and sugar, either with or without
some 1avoring extract, such as va
nilla. To make cocoa for drinking
purposes the cocoa butter must be
extracted. This is done in various
ways by pressure. filtration or
some chemical process. In the Chi
cago works tho chocolate is taken
from tho grinder and placed in little
canvas bags and then put in a by
draulic pross, where q pressure of 70
tons drives the oil out of the ohoco-
late and leaves the cocoa In solid,
| dry, oilless Jumps, which are bro.
Ken with q mallct and taken away
to be ground up for further opera
tons. If cocoa is wanted for drink
ing purposes, it is ground into q
fourlike substance and packed into
tin boxes. II for eating or confec-
TONERS, it is mixed with the flavor
ing compounds in mixing mill aft
er the sugar and flavor have been
first thoroughly incorporated with
the cocoa by passing tho whole mix
ture through rolls.
The secret of making chocolate
and cocoa, for each maker has his
we'll guarded secret, is in the blend
ing of several varieties of cocoa
beans. Not less than three kinds
and up to half dozen varieties are
mixed or blended at somo stage OF
tho process, and here again a trade
secret is guarded, for some makers
mix before and others after grind
ing and still others at other places
in the making. It is this blending
which makes good or bad cocoa, ac-
cording to the taste of the man who
is drinking it. In the blending the
cocoa maker shows his art, and he
keeps the formula locked in secret
drawer in his safe and looks very
wise whom anything is said about
"blcnding." Some chocolates and
cocoas require tempering in a hot
room for time, and others are run
into a cold room, where the pipes OF
a refrigerating machine keep the
mercury down to zero as soon as
the paste runs out of the grinding
mills. Tho familiar chocolate pack

THREE TENDERLolh PRECINCTS.
Ono Has Succeeded Another With the
Growth of Gotham Up Town.

Growth of Gotham Up Town.
The original Tcndcrlo;n precinct of
the police department of New York
vas the Eighth, the station house Of
which was in Prince street and is
no4 in Macdougal street. Its bound
arid, are Canal street, Houston
street, Broadway and the North riv-
or. 1t was q great resort for thioves,
crooks and disorderly persons and
furnished the largest amount OF 20
lice business. In 1870, when tho
Eighth precinct was at the height OF
its deplorahle prominence, tho ar
rests We're $500 in a year against
$500 in the Twenty-ninth precinct,

bost known in connection with tho
Eighth was Charles Mcdonald, bet
ter known as Lightning Charley. Ho
was appointed in 1870 and gained
his title from service in the Thirty
fifth street station.
With the growth of tho city far-
thcr up town, the moving away Of
the big hotels and tho cncroachmeIts
of stores and warehouses in tho
Eighth precinct, the Fifteenth or
Mercer street precinct, became tho
Tenderloin. It's reign was brief Tho

precinct, tho present Tc,dcrloin, OK
tends from Fourteenth to Forty sec
ond street, and tho western bound
ary is Seventh avenue. 1t takes in
both sides Of Broadway and has a
larger number of hotels than any
other precinct in this city The part
that gave it its unsavory reputation
lies between Sixth and Seventh ave-
MUGS and Twenty-third and Thirty
fourth streets.
At one time both sides Of Sixth
avenue wero largely taken up with
concert saloons, and among those in
tho Tendcrloin were tho Bucking-
ham, tho Star and Garter, the Gre
morno, the Empire, the Sans Souci,
tho Argyle and tho Haymarket.
Sixth avenue between Twenty third
and Thirty-fourth streets at that
time was as much crowded at night
as Broadway is now by day. Arrests
were many, and strangers visiting
New York came to this neighborhood
as one Of the sights Of the town.
At present the Tenderloin Is q
name chiefly. Most of the establish,
ments which gave it a national il
not an international i'll repute have
either moved away or have been
closed for good. The side streets be.

cles or things as we're not produced by
ourselves in sufficient quantities for the

ton was established should want. In
case OF the possible inability Of our own

JAPAN has introduced an innovation in
connection with the launching of ships,
which, if followed by other nations, will
be hailed by the prohibitionists as a uni.
versal victory and give them a new sub
ject to discuss in their meetings. The
temperance people have protested for
years against the custom of breaking q
bottle Of wine over the cut-water of a
vessel as she slides into her element for
the first time. It certainly does seem a
wasteful expenditure of champagne, no
matter whether 1t comes from one of the
great vineyards of France or from an
American winery. The Japanese custom
is to liberate a cage of birds the instant
the ship begins to move, IMPLYING that,
as the birds fly to all points Of the COM
pass, so will be the direction of the ship
in her line Of trade. There would seem
to be more poetry in this than IN a bottle
Of dry champagne.

A REPORT on interstate electric road

A REPORT on interstate electric roads
was presented at the recent meeting of
railroad commissioners of the several
states, in which it was shown that Of 800
electric roads in the country, with 5000
miles of road, $4,000 cars and $780,
100000 of capital stock, there are many
that are interurban and interstate in
their operations, and which have all
the privileges without the liabilities of
steam roads. The suggestion was made
that they be brought under the direct
operations of the interstate COM
MERGE act. The report presented so
many points of interest to the conven-
ton that it appointed a new committe to
consider the subject of interstate cleo
trio railways, and to report to the next
convention regarding the the Develop
ment and operation of electric roads,
especially those engaged in interstate
traffic, with a view to placing such roads
under the operations of the interstate
commerce act.

PLA1NDEALER: The story Of our
country from day to day is now chiefly a
story OF advancing wages, such as the
increase OF 10 per cent to 5000 roller
ments in stocks or of purchases of bonds
for foreign account, reduced rates of
sterling exchange, swelling gold reserves
and the like. The man who is having
the hardest time just now is the calamity
bowler.

Carruth, the first evidence Of returning
prosperity were visible: when a republic
can congress was elected, and as Cleve-

defeat has only made every republican

THE government ownership of rail-

Coxey's good road movement and Earl
Carl Browns long hair and circus clothes
have ceased to be the subjects of the
day, and with Sockless Simpson and His

ing cards. Finance is now the great
problem. Half of the men discussing the
subject do not know the proper pronun-
citation of the word. Not one in ten can
tell the amount Of circulation per capita,
and scarcely any two give the same rea-
sons for the faith that is in them. Why
not then agree upon a basis that expert:
ence has taught us is right-that is the
approval of the plans the republican
party IN congress assembled shall adopt
next winter. In thirty years they have
been found on the right side of every
great question that affects the interest
of the whole people. The ship of state
that is bound for the port of a stable
government, whose corner-stones are:
Freedom, the greatest good to the great

OF all classes of her citizens, can not be

THE commissioners appointed under
the law passed by the last legislature
and known as the Russian cactus law,
are in session at the governors Office to.
day. They consist of the governor, ex-
Senator l.. r. Casey of jamestown, and
Hon. w. H. Rowe of Dickey county.
The first two are so we'll known through
out the state as to need no further men,
ton. Mr.. Rowe will be remembered as
a member of the constitutional conven-
ticn and second to no man in securing
constitutional prohibition for the state.
In advocating that prohibition be put in
the constitution he said:
l will say in advocating the constitu-
ency of Dickey county that the people of
that county take a more advanced ground
on this temperance question than some,
and believe that it should be incorpo-
rated right in the body Of the constitu-
ton. We represent the banner temper
ance county of the territory of Dakota,
and Dickey county in casting her vote
the second time for local option gave a
majority of 500 In favor of local option,
and local option is a thriving success in
that county. W. believe that this pro-
hibition amendment or section should be
incorporated right in the body of the
constitution, that it may 60 along with
the other movement towards statehood
without being subjected to individual
attack by the corporations or the inter-
ests that may be in favor Of the license
system. When we come into statehood
we wish to come over the threshold with
an article in our constitution that is in
favor Of free homes, free speech and a
free press, and against the freedom of
the rum power.
The law creating the commission pro-
vides for the establishment of rules and
regulations to be followed in carrying
out it's provisions, which will be issued
by the commissioners as soon as it shall
have mastered the details necessary to
be prescribed in carrying out the will of
the lawmakers. Should the thistle sur
vive the cold spell, trouble may be ex-
pected to begin which will %effectually
prevent it's frisking over the pralries
