The Presidents Daily Routine

Ex-President Harrison has written of
IA Day With the President at His
Desk" for the March Ladies' Home
Journal. The article is said to be sing
ularly interesting in the detail with which
it describes the wearisome routine OF the
President. It is said that General
Harrison, in this article, has delivered
himself with great directness and vigor,
relative to the annoyances that are
visited upon a Chief Executive by
persistent ofice-seekers, and he sug-
gests unique plan, by which the Pres
dents burdens in that direction ceatd
be greatly lightened, and he be enabled
to devote more attention to more impOr-
tant matters. A feature of the article
that will have timely interest to those
ambitious to serve the country under the
in coming administration, describes very
fully how the President makes appoint
ments to Office "a Day With the Pres
1dent at His Desk" is unique in being
the first time that the daily life Of the
President has been described by one
who has filed the exalted Office.
Articles upon the social and domestic
life of the President by General Harrison
will follow in successive issues of the
Journal.

ON SLIPPERY STREETS.
The Only Way to Walk to Keep from
Falling,

The Only Way to Walk to Keep from
Falling.
There are right and wrong ways to do
most things, and walking on icy side
walks is no exception to the rule, SAYS
the New York World. Many people
follow the wrong method, and as a re-
suit they often make exhibitions of
themselves more pleasing to the specta-
tors than to the exhibitors. Falls are
frequent in New York city during the
winter. Some of them are absolutely
dangerous and many are painful.
The dangers of slippery and icy pave
nnents may be reduced to minimum by
using caution when walking. By going
on tiptoe and keeping the heel of the
shoe from striking the pavement until
the foot is firmly in position slipping is
avoided. If, on the contrary, you start
with the heel and toe gait popular with
pedestrians. your heel will slip from un-
der you and you fall before you have
had time to select the safest spot
This is readily explained by the fact
that when the ball of the foot is placed
on the ground large section Of the shoe
touches the pavement and the body
must necessarily be pretty we'll bal
anced on the foot. But when the heel
comes down first only small portion
OF the shoe touches the pavement, end
often. the foot is well in advance of the
body. Try it once and be convinced
that the mincing walk of the typical
dandy is sometimes safe if not grace

Oliver Wendell Holmes is one connected
with the breakfast given in his honor
by the publishing firm of Houghtor,
Osgcod & Co. on the occasion of his
seventeen birthday, says the Youths
Companion. Not long after the break
fast he met friend who had been a
guest On that memorable occasion, and
had written one Of the many bright
poems which formed part of the en-
tertainment. In referring to the late
festivity, the doctor said to his friend:
L knew there would be good many
things said that would be calculated
to draw tears. I was resolved that
would not cry-that nothing should
make me cry; and SO I went to the
breakfast determined to maintain a

his paper and Almanac have; come to
stay: His splendid journal, WORLD AND
WORKS, is now entering it's tenth year,
largely increased in circulation and in
every way improved, until it deserves
the national reputation it has attained.
His 1897 Almanac is now ready and is
by far the finest and most beautiful he
has yet issued, It contains 109 pages
including cover artistical]y printed in
colors, and is foil from back to back with
just what is wanted in every shop, Office
and home in America. One feature of
the Almanac for 1897 is series of II
original, beautifully engraved star maps,
with explanatory chapters, which could
not be bought for less than five dollars
IN any work on astronomy. AS Mr..
Hicks has SO correctly and faithfully
warned the public of coming droughts,
Hoods, cold waves, billiards., tornadoes
and cyclones, in the years passed, aside
from the other varied and splendid
features of his paper and Ain anac, these
considerations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once for
1887. The Almanac is only 25cts. a copy
