The Art of Walking.

The art of walking is certainly rot
understood by many women, and a
critic, writing from New York, anxiously
inquiries why so many well-built, stylish
young women are walking heel first, jerk
ing their shoulders and moving their
arms with a rotary motion. Such ques
tions would take some time to answer,
for certain most ungraceful motions of
the body have been taken up at times by
foolish young women, who would have
more sense could they but realize how
completely they ruin the effect and style
of the most chic OF go wns and jackets by
such nonsense.
1t is perfectly true that most children
are not taught to walk properly, they
teach themselves with greater or less
success.
A bright American, while visiting at
AK les Bains, met a young woman, with
whom she took several long walks.
After the first excursion she began to
notice that her companion felt less
fatigue than she did, and always re-
turned with her skirts in excellent condi-
ton, even when the roads had been either
muddy or dusty. This state of affairs
caused her considerable surprise, so at
length she asked for an explanation, and
was promptly told that her acquaint ,nce
had taken a course of walking lessons,
so she writes II soon sought her
instructor, and have ever since prohted
by his instruction. Now l am mistress
of the situation as well, and can likewise
not only walk greater distances and with
less fatigue than formerly, and return
with garments equally nice, but find
that said garments will remain in condi-
ton longer than before, and that my
carriage is astonishingly improved.
"The following is the formula, which is
given here in order that men, women and
children may become their own trainers
and instructors, if they have first the
desire to do all things as well as possible
Hold the body erect, with the head up
walk from the waist not the knees bend
the knees, pick up the feet and walk on
the ball of the foot. This insuies GER
tain elasticity and buoyancy, so that the
pedestrian almost feels that he is tread.

"The improvements of 1897 are in the
refinement of the wheel They consist
in taking out quarter of an ounce in
one place without weakening the wheel,
and putting in sixteenth of an ounce
in another place where it will strengthen
it,"
"Do you regard the motor cycle as
practicable ?"
"No. And the reason is right here, "
said Mr.. Overman, slapping his thigh.
Right here you have more power than
it is safe to use on bicycle. 1t costs
nothing to use it; the more you
use it, the more you have, and
the more you have, the better you
are. The bicycle has been perfected past
the motor cycle, and is looking back at
it much as the first bicycle looked back at
the velocipede. The motor carriage is
all right, but why should any man or
woman care to sit astride motor cycle
when he has more power than it is safe
for him to use on a bicycle?
Il have been trying to secure the pass
age of laws in the various states,' con-
tinued Mr. Overman, Ito compel the
makers of bicycles to furnish with each
wheel a bill of particulars of what it
contains. Riders have right to that
knowledge The handle-bar should be
as good as the bone in the arm which
steers it. When a man goes down hill
on a bicycle he should know that there is
the best of everything in the vital parts
Of the wheel beneath him and that his
life is not hazarded by some maker who
believes that the stuffinit is good enough.
A glittering name-plate is no recompense
for broken neck Ifyou had to ride to
bread on name-plate you would
starve. y Buffalo Enquirer.

The Bicycle.

A. H. Overman, a large manufacturer
of bicycles, rarely consents to be inter-
viewed; when, however, he departs from
his rule OF silence, the result is always
rthlstening to. In Buffalo, last week,
a reporter was lucky enough to meet
Mr.. Overman when he was inclined to
talk, with this result:
HAS the bicycle idea stronger hold
on the people than it had last Year," he
was asked.
Undoubtedly. There are more orders
waiting IN our shipping room this
minute than ever before in the sixteen
wears of our business. 1t is the human
interest of the wheel that will continue
its popularity. 1t has passed the confines
of sport. 1t has become as material in
our daily life as clothes and food and
street cars and railroads. Some man
who has not ridden before says to him
self this year: "There is Jones, who does
in a minute what 1T takes me hve TO co.
must save that four minutes, too"
And he buys wheel, and once he has it,
il it is a good wheel, he finds the daily
necessity for it.
"Iu making bicycles we are helping
God to make healthy men and women
II II should be announced tomorrow that
there would be a general distribution OF
angels wings and you were not included
in the distribution, you would feel badly
about it. wouldn't you? Well, the bicycle
equips men and women with wings that
do not bring them into entanglements
with church steeples and wind-tnils and
such things"

Moody's Story of Alexander the Great.

There is story told of Alexander the
Great and his trust in his attendant ply
sician," relates Evangelist Dwight L.
Moody in the May Ladies Home Jour
nal, writing on Faith" to his Bible
class. Some one who was jealous OF
the doctors distinction sought to bring
about his ruin by arousing suspicion
against him, and sent an anonymous
letter to the king accusing the doctor OF
treason. In the letter the writer warned
the king that on the following morning
the doctor would mix some deadly poi
son with medicine which he would bring
him. Alexander knew his friend too well
to believe the accusation. When the
doctor came the next morning the king
taking the goblet containing the medi'
cine in his hand, gave the doctor the
warning letter, and then, without wait
ing for him to read it, he drank the pre-
scribed medicine. BY that act of fearless
faith he showed his implicit confidence
in his friend, and displayed love that
was beyond suspicion, that could think
no evil, faith that could not and would
not be shaken, no matter what the tests
to which it might be subjected. And
such is the faith that God would inspire
IN our hearts-a faith that would not
tolerate suspicious doubts and fears; a
ialth that would trust Him implicitly
however dark may be the shadows that
ia'l across the path where He would lead
