How to Acnnire STRENGTH.

Eugen Sandow says he was a puny
lad and was inspired when boy to i'm
prove himself physically by sight Of
the works Of sculpture in the art CALLER
les at Rome. He advises only simple ex-
ercises like dumbbell practice, walking
and bicycle riding He does not think
much is TO be gained by the use of hori-
zontal bars or the usual gymnasium APP
pliances, but advocates plenty of fresh
air and cold baths. Do not use too large
dumbbells and exercise regularly. eff
women also would take more outdoor
exercise, there would be fewer nervous
complaints. The dress of the average
woman is most HARMFUL he says. He
eats anything in moderation and drinks
nothing strong beyond an occasional
glass of beer or light wine and says that
almost any man can make himself
strong and vigorous by simple dumbbell
exercises and regular and temperate
habits Of life.

conscious man he dropped on his knees,
took the head in his arms and cried out as
he kissed the face so like his own.
"Jack Jack! o God, it's jack Do
you hear me? Look upl Here's Siml
Here's Sim, asking you on his knees to
forgive himp'
Sim and Pedro stripped off the wet
clothes, rubbed the white form till the
glow of life came back, and then placed
him in bunk and wrapped him in furs.
BY the time a steaming punch was ready
Jack Belden rubbed his eyes and looked
about him. Then from the bunk two white
arms were extended, and he sobbed:
"After years of seeking I've found you,
SIM"
There is nothing more sacred than the
tears of honest, strong men.
Pedro looked on In wonder, and, though
he could not understand what was said, he
realized that one had come who was nearer
to his guardians heart than himself but
he felt no pang of jealousy
After n time Jack Belden felt strong
enough to sit up. He looked at his watch,
and, seeing that 1t was after midnight, he
reached out his hand to his brother and
said:
GA happy New Year, dear Simp' And
still holding his brothers. hand, Jack told
the story of his three years search, and
how only that afternoon he had learned at
Garland of Sims hiding place.
But there was more to tell. When Sim
discovered him with Alice Thorpe, just
three years before this, he was telling the
girl that he had become engaged to her
cousin Ethel and was begging her to plead
his case with the father and mother of his
betrothed
"Since tho day you left, Sim, I've been

was ever true TO you, and, though she
thinks you dead, she is still true to your
memory, and tonight by tho fire In the
old home, " hero she gave you her love,
she Is weeping for dead one who thought
hor false. "
The storm continued the next day, but
In all that wild land no cabin held two
happier hearts than those of the brothers
reunited under the caves of the avalanche
far up the Sierra Blanca
Shortly after this Sim Belden sold out
his claim and accompanied his brother to
the east. They took Pedro with them and
sent him to tho Indian school at Carlisle,
where no became % teacher.

Isl, senor," said Pedro, without the
slightest comprehension of the secret that
had been conflded to him.
Sim Belden was about to speak again,
but he was changed from his purpose by a
rush, a roar and a crash that filled the air
and shook the earth rs If the mountain was
slmbling into st. Luis park

at the Indian boy, whose lean face and
black eyes were filled with an expression
of intent anxiety.
"What is it, Pedrop What do you hear,

For reply Pedro bounded to his feet, and
pointing in the direction of the trail he
shouted:
"White man! White manr
In an instant Sim had the door open.
The whirling snow clouds limited his
vision to the path of light before the open
door, but above the roaring of tho storm
he heard the cry:
"Help For Gods sake, helpp'
"Stay here and keep the door openp'
That is what Sim Belden shouted as he
buttoned up his fur coat and leaped down
the snow piled trail.
Pedro had no conception of the ordinary
measure of time, but it seemed to him that
at least n day bad passed since the white
man had disappeared. At length his heart
was gladdened as he saw him breasting
through the snow and bearing another
white man in his arms.
Sim Beden staggered into tho cabin and
laid his burden on the fur covered floor,

he was unsocial, and those with whom he
traded at Garland believed that he had hit
upon rich find under the snow line, and
that no would make it hot for the man
who tried to be his nelghbor.
Sim Belden had been mining alone IN
the Sierra Blanca, but during the past 10
months he had a companion, a young Ute
lad named Pedro, whom he had found
tiers of the Del Norte.
When Sim Belden, without any process
of law, became Pedro's guardian, that
youth s knowledge of English was confined
to the one word "damn." His acquaint-
ance with Spanish was q little more ex-
tensive. He knew that buenos dias meant
"good day." sabe, understands" 81, senior,
eyes, SIR" and dinero, money" But
there is language of signs which all IN
derstand.
Sim had just come up from Garland
burdened with n great pack of eatables
and proportionate amount of drinkables,
for the traditions of his youth led him to
believe that both were essential to popu-
lar observance of the season.
This evening in the cabin, after supper,
Sim Belden was unusually talkative, and,
forgetting or ignoring that Pedro's COM
prehension of English was limited, he rat
tied on like one thinking aloud and wish
ing for no comment on what he said.

Seeing that the white man hesitated,
Pedro looked wonderingly up and said, "Si,
senor I"
Sim Belden lit his pipe and throwing
himself on a cinnamon bearskin before
the fire looked at Pedro for few minutes
and then went on, "Of course Pedro, you
wasn't ever In love?''
Pedro said, "Si, senor," and scratched
his head like one perplexed.
"No, Pedro, you don't savoy, and hope
you never will. If you should ever be took

HOW TO STAIN.
Furniture Tints of All Colors Now Fash-
ionable.

Formerly STAINS were confined to the
colors nearly resembling natural woods,
but of late oil solors arc used.
The most fashionable stain at present
for furniture is green-not sage green,
but good, old fashioned regular green
which, when rubbed well into the pores
of the wood and then polished. is really
beautiful. The two transparent colors,
prussian blue and raw sIelna, make,
when mixed together, ian excellent
green, or if brighter tint is desired
gamboge and prussian blue. A very lit
tie of the latter goes great way. In
staining it should be borne in mind that
it is not paint, but stain, and that a
very little should be used, pound be-
ing sufficient to stain whole set of fur
niture.
To get a good color the wood must be
light. Oak, yellow or white pine. ma
pie, any of these is suitable, and the
more grained the better, the MORE eff
feet of birdseye maple, the heavy mark
ings of oak and the picturesque knot so
often seen in yellow pine all coming out
particularly we'll through the translu-
cent color.
BY sending special order to the manu-
facturers it is easy to get sets Of furniture
without paint or varnish, but if it is an
old piece that is to be renovated it must
be thoroughly scraped. After staining, a
coat of hard oil finish may be applied
as filler, and then, after it is dry, it
should be rubbed all over with the pre-
pared beeswaX that comes in cans for
floors and then rubbed with a flannel
cloth until it is quite shiny and bright.
After the wax is rubbed on it should be
allowed to harden before polishing it.
PIussian blue alone makes very pretty
peacock blue stain, raw sienna yellow
or orange, according to the amount of
color used, crimson lake lovely red,
and burned sienna an almost exact imi-
tation of new mahogany. All these are
what are called transparent colors and
are, therefore, especially adapted for
stains. But even Opaque colors, if put on
thin enough to show the grain of the
wood, produce sometimes very pretty ef-
fects. White ON certain woods has q
milky. opalesque coloring that is very
harmonious with delicate chintzes.
