For walking with pleasure and advan-
tage I should give o few simple rules.
The application of these rules for HIM
self every man must make with due al
lowance for his own peculiarities. Take
plenty Of time as meals. Do not walk
right after meal Rest we'll before the
noon and evening meals. Drink all you
desire Of sood water during the tramp,
but sparingly at meals or just before
eating Good digestion is as important
to good walking as it is necessary Eos
good work Of any kind. As to foods, a
man has to take on his tramp what Is
Bet before him. Ii will generally be
nourishins enough If he will be careful
to est it when not tired and to eat it
slowly. AT the end Of each day take a
sponge or towel bath on O dry rub down.
At least wash your feet and change
socks, and shoes, too, II possible. A
change of all my clothing next to the
skin at the end Of each day is imperative

taken up the matter, however, and
declares that the effect OF the earth's
rotation has not been properly in
yestigated, and that it Is probably Of
much Importance, especially to in
valids, feeble and sleepless people.
The rapid motion of the earth tends
to affect the circulation. The blood
is inclined toward the head or away
from it, acco riding as the head is
placed toward the east or the west,
and DR.. Richardson finds he sleeps
most comfortably, and awakens more
readily, with the head in the westerly
direction. The editor Of Science
Gossip points out thatanother curious
fact connected with the earth's rota-
tiOn is the temporary uneasiness of
animals about an hour before dawn,
no matter at what hour this occurs.
Children turn and moan, elderly peo-
pie awaken and turn over for another
sleep, cocks crow, dogs become uneasy
and horses and cattle move about for
a short period, when stiffness returns
for time. What is the cause? Are
the animals, it is asked affected by
some magnetic wave which precedes
sunrise an hour or SO, or is the habit
one OF heredity, passed down through
numberless generations from an
original wild state when an alertness
just before daylight was necessary for
protection from enemies?

We have during the past week re-

from prospective Office seekers saying
they would be candidates and hoping
the MINER would lend helping hand
towards their election. Many of the
new candidates we are unable to place,
their name not appearing on our list,
and to our knowledge have never
heard of them and yet they address
us as "My dear Pete" Very good.
In all probability they have secured
our name from some friend and upon
hearing that our principles were pro-
nounced Republican, have taken the
liberty to appeal to our patriotism
and loyalty to the party and in this
manner seek to further their own in

and those of the party whom we will

Such statements as these injure the

There are now very few places outside

one which never had single good
reason to commend it, while there are
several excellent ones to be urged

the bereaved ones. Being RESERVATIONS
