Webster's Inst Words,

Webster's last words were: 81 still live"
A teacher in one of the East side schools
had been reading anecdotes of the great
photographer to her pupils, and the next
day, catechising them on what she had read,
she asked:
"What were Webster's last Words"
There was deep silence, and she repeated
the question. Finally a little fellow with a
squirt in his left eye held up his hand.
We'll, Mulyaney," said the teacher, kind
ly, do you know?'
"Yessum," said Mulvaney, confidently.

SANE OR INSANE.
The Doctors Pronounce Hrs. Helen
Powell Unbalanced.

Mrs. Helen Powell, of Lake Crystal,
was examined as to her sanity this
afternoon before Judge Mead by Drs.
Cullen, of Lake Crystal, and Webster,
of this city, and was adjudged insane
and ordered committed to the St,
Peter asylum. Attorney Evan Hughes
appeared for the county and expresses
himself as far from satisfied that the
unfortunate woman is not in her right
mind.
1t appears that Mrs. Powell has
had an unusual amount or
trouble during her life. She comes
from an excellent family or
Lake Crystal, and has twice tried
matrimony and survives both 'of her
husbands. Her first husband was a
man named Fogg, who died. some
years ago. Her second husband,
Mr.. Powell, shot himself about
four years ago. Mrs. Powell has
property, and has been living with
her son and daughter. The son is in
Martin county threshing, and the
fourteen year old daughter, by her
second husband, is in the country
Mrs. Powell believes that neither OF
these know of the examination.
Mrs, Powell did not show signs OF
insanity during the examination
She protested that she was perfectly
sane, and did not want to 60 to The
asylum. She is about 48 years of age
DR.. Cullen is familiar with the case
nd has no doubt but that Mrs
Powell is not in her right mind, ano
his opinion had large weight. 1t is
laimed that she has habit Of follow
ing people around. It is believed tina
trouble has brought on her condi
ton, end it is hoped that prope
treatment will effect cure.

Muscle Building.

Since physical development is becom-
ing so generally desired many different
schools for muscle building have come
into prominence. The naturally big
man, with large vitality and strong
sinews, likes heavy dumbbells, long runs
and vigorous, hearty diet. Exercise
tears down old tissue and nature sup
plies new. If in the process of selec-
tion the cells are compelled to work
too quickly, they take anything that
offers, usually the coarser matter which
has less tensile endurance. Another
system employs light dumbbells and
chest weights, but with the motions
perseveringly repeated many times.
The result is good supply of compact
ly arranged muscle Of great elasticity,
but of slow growth. Its hardness is
due to the large amount of silicon de-
posted in the tissue.
The slower system gives the cells
more time. to select good materials.
Another method has a more philosoph-
zeal basis, the principle that the natu-
raj lines of force are lines of grace,
hence graceful postures are assumed
and sustained, combined with an en-
deavor to bring the mind to a corre-
spondingly forceful attitude. Surpris-
ing results have been attained. One
woman who practiced it could lift her
husband, who weighed over 200 pounds,
and run with him for 50 yards. Other
professors teach pupils only to flex or
unfiex their muscles, or to go through
the mental operations, keeping the will
tense. Any method which develops and
directs the mental force has more con-
sistency, more regard for the principle
that mans physical and mental ma
lures work in unity. None Of these ex-
ercises should be undertaken when the
stomach is heavy with food.-Ex-

ICES IN WINTER.

Practice That Is Growing Among Wom-
en- Condemned by High Authority.
The practice of eating ices in winter
Is condemned by The Hospital, and wo-
men are said to be it's chief upholders,
although probably the writer speaks for
England alone. He says: 1T is ladies
who provide ices in midwinter for their
guests; and, so far as a pretty wide and
careful personal observation can be re-
lied upon, it is the ladies who eat the
ices when provided. A man, be he
young, middle aged or old, Is rarely, IL
ever, seen partaking of an ice in the
month of December. Is it, then, the
fact that blood of woman Is Of a higher
temperature than that of man, that her
heart pulsates with greater vigor. that
she is less subject to the possibilities
Of mere collapse due to sudden lowering
of the temperature of the body? Not
one Of these questions can be answered
in the affirmative.
The blood of woman, instead Of being
better able to resist the cold than that
of man, is less able, the action of her
heart is not so vigorous and sustained,
her nervous system is much more sensi-
tive. Why is it. then. that wherever q
