persp1ratton. Every muscle of the body and limbs is brought into play and there is little or no danger of straining any of them and that is more than can be said of bully lifting, and many other kinds of gymnastic work. Fat fairly melts away from the regular ball puncher and he obtains nearly all the benefits of sparring without any of its incon- veniences, such as bloody noses, black eyes, or bruises" My friend took my advice, bought him punching ball, fought it for 15 or 20 months, accord ing to my advice, and now he tips the scales 20 pounds lighter than he was and he looks and feels 50 per cent. bet ter than he did before he began the ex- ercise.
 The punching ball" of to-day differs very materially from the fighting bag which was used in the days of Tom Hyer, Yankee Sullivan, Heenan and Savers, and even in Joe Goburn's time The bag then used was huge affair. nearly as tall as the man and twice as bulky. It was filled with cotton, oats 1AA11 ooSh lihS hedfS J 3lSldlhS Ind Clieti until it weighed about what it's users in- tended opponent was supposed to scale. It was suspended by a rope, from the ceiling in a room so that its center of gravity wa little above it's users shoul- ders. Naturally, in responding to blows, pushes or shoves, it swung slowly and ponderously. The man who fought it, not only punched it with all his power but collided against it with his shoul- Gers and body. This method of exc ercise, was in a measure similar to the iostling and shouldering opponents were expected to receive in a fight.
 The first fast ball" worthy of note, was the invention of the proprietor of a Cleveland gymnasium, named Prof Rumsey, who is credited with being Mark Hanna's teacher of sparring. This bag or ball was merely a rubber ball, about a foot in diameter, inclosed in canvas covering and suspended from the ceiling by a cord. The bottom of the ball, which was hung on a level with it's users shoulders, was fastened to the floor by rubber strap, which was just loose enough to permit the ball to fly back about a foot when sharply hit

room which, while well ventilated, Is free from drafts. They should strip to the waist, and wear nothing but draw
 CTS and slippers. It is we'll to incase the hands in loose kid gloves, from which the fingers have been cut. This will prevent any abrasion of the knuclles, which is sometimes caused Icy glancing blows. One minute rounds are long enough for a beginner, with two minutes rest between each round. Plenty of good, course Turkish towels should be used to wipe off the perspira- tion caused by the exercise. Five rounds each day are enough for be- ginner for the first few weeks. After that for the next fortnight, the length of the rounds can be increased to two minutes I would never advise length ening the rounds beyond three min utes, and care must be taken never to unduly tire ones self. After a bout with the ball the body should be wiped until thoroughly dry, then a quick sponge bath should be taken, and if the puncher, after drying himself, will rub himself with witch hazel and alcohol and hand-rub himself until he is per- fectly dry, and then don clean under wear, he will go forth from the room not only lighter in body and heart than he was when he entered it, but also wonderfully refreshed and invigorated.

Got Breakfast Alone.

A we'll known business man under.
took to get his own breakfast one morn.
ing last week. His wife was sick, and
the cook had left the night before, but
he had been used to camping out and
thought he would have no trouble. He
had cotton along all right until he
started to fry some eggs. He had filed
skillet about half full OF lard and when
it began to boil he proceeded to break
some eggs into it. He had two eggs in his
hands and as he broke one of them his
wife called out "Are you sure they are
good ?" He had just started to slide
the egg into the hot lard as she spoke
and he turned his head moment, but
continue to lower his hand. The ends
of his fingers went into the lard and he
threw his hands upwards. The un.
broken egg hit the ceiling and the con-
tents ran down the back of his neck.
The one he had broken was also thrown
upwards and fell on top of his head. To
those who have been asking a clothing
man why his fingers were tied up, the
above will be sufficient. = Portsmouth

WANTED, A DYNAMO.

Electrocution.
COLUMBUS, O., July 2o.-Warden Coffin

purchase a dynamo for electrocuting
purposes. The Ohio prison officials are
having the same trouble trying to buy
a dynamo that the Auburn IN. "
authorities experienced when they at
tempted to secure an apparatus to cleo
trocute criminals.
It seems that the manufacturers of

have come to the conclusion that 1t Is
not good recommendation for their
goods to place them at prisons to kill
men, legally or accidentally, and let
ters to the different firms have failed
to elicit any response.

Rules.

Probst, secretary Of the state board Of
health. has sent out circular letters
to the local boards of health

uniform rules for the regula-

control of plumbers licenses. The
health boards in cities of 5000 inhab-
itants, or which have system of water
supply or sewerage must appoint a
board to examine plumbers, must ap-
point one or more plum bing inspectors,
and must prescribe rules for the con-
struction, alteration and drainage.

MAYOR MckIssoN,

OF Cleveland, Threatens Everything From
Bullets Down.
CLEVELAND, O., July 20.-At 10
o'clock Saturday morning Mayor Nc
Kisson ordered the Cleveland Graya
under arms for duty at the Brown
Hoist works.
The mayor said: "If there Is any
trouble out there Saturday we will
give the rioters everything from cold
lead down. 1t is time to call halt on
this sort Of thing"
The mayor now has all the police
force, four companies of the Fifth
regiment and the Cleveland Grays on
the apot, and hopes to avert anything
like q riot.
The state board of arbitration
is at work on the cases. Great pres
sure is being brought to bear on the
Brown people to treat with their men.
So far they have absolutely declined
to meet any committee, whether of the
nnion or of the men. President Fay
cite Brown intimates now that he may
meet some of his old employees on Mon
day.
The men declare that if the company
will only talk the matter over honestly
a settlement can be easily reached.
The locked out men themselves deplore
the outbreaks and violence, but say
they can not control the actions of out
siders any more than the police and
military can.
Thomas McGarvy and Thomas Garri-
ty, who were stabbed by soldiers bay
onets a few days ago, are at st. Clair
street hospital. McGarvy was stabbed
in the left side of the back, puncturing
his kidney. The doctors say recovery
is doubtful. Garrity received only
flesh wounds Both men claim en-
phatically that they were bayonetted
without cause. They were innocent
spectators, they say.
