UNCLE AARON'S CURE
FOR Blind S1AGGERS
iaAAAAAAAeAAAAAAAAAA

AS I drove into the yard the other
night I heard whack! and "ki-yi,"
and my English setter pup went sinking
across the lawn. Naomi met him with
open arms. Uncle Aaron came down the
driveway with one shoe on, the other in
his hand, showing wet tooth marks,
where Prince Edward had chawed it,.

He's mighty good dog, though-the

man bein' either, fer matter O. thet."
Araminta came out to hear the end
of these, remarks, and shifted contempt
uously. "Tuh!" Ohis is a little expletive
employed by Araminta and some other
women. 1t is purely aspirate-vocaliza-
ton robs it of its expressiveness.) "Tuh!

some. His pack was searched and a
side CT bacon containing the private
mark Of some other Klondiker was
found. He had tried to buy provisions
without success. The miners held a
meeting and unanimously voted to make
an example of Martin. The young fell
low was awakened and told that his time
had come. A slip knot had been made at
the end Of the long painter of a boat
and the moose was put over Martins
head.

voice, you know how it is when man

If l am not hung my life is not worth
much to me anyhow. I've got thou

Martin half ran and was half dragged
down to the shore of the lake. 1t took
less than a minute to lash two slender
pines dressed for masts in forked up
right and drop another mast from rock
on the bluff over between the forks.
May / write a message, boys?"
"Be quick about ii" was the answer.
Martin took letter from his pocket
and kissed it. Then he tore it up, stoop-
ed, pulled off his rubber boots and, plac-
ing the paper on the sole of one, wrote in
the darkness, the following:
Hoping that with the money / might
make in the Klondike sacrifice would 60

window, l left you. Kiss Ted, but never

He held the note out to the crowd say
ing: Give this to the newspapers
Hurry up. Now, altogether" spoke
the leader Of the crowd.
In the morning Martins body was seen
turning first one way and then back, like
kettle dangling before the fire, his
hands tied behind him with packstrap.

raise on the toes. It is well to count
the number of elevations and increase
the same gradually till about fifty or
sixty can be done. Next the cyclist
should take care that his joints do not
suffer stiffness by assuming what is
known as the hop-toed position and by
hopping on both feet at once. The joints
will be materially benefited.
The ideas set forth do not. by any
means, cover all the points in this field
of winter exercise, but they are such as
may be carried out in the home. We all
know of a dozen patent contrivances
which claim to give life, health and al
most every thing under the sun, but one
thing should always be borne In mind
No one has yet been found who could
give nature points on how the human
body should be cared for A patent is
a very good thing for the person owning
1t, but every cyclist has in his own pos
session means for exercise that never
have been and never will be patented,
but which, after all, are the best.

long. Cardinal Bartolini, Pecci's chief
partisan, persuaded the four Spanish
cardinals not to vote for Cardinal FreD-
chi, because he was too young, and
there would be time enough for him
to be raised to the papacy after Leo's
death Instead-it seems almost the
irony of fate--Leo still lives. and
Frenchi died five months after the con-
clave, on July 81, 1873. Now there only

elected Pecci to the chair of Peter. II
is easy to conceive what disappoint-
ment a pope who lives too long may be
to some members of the Sacred college,
and of course these sentiments cannot
be unknown to the pope himself, and
cannot be very agreeable. The same
thing has happened. however, to every
pope who has lived to good age and
has had a long reign.
Plus TX, who reigned as pope thirty
one years, seven months, and twenty
two days, must in his latter days have
become accustomed TO the sensation of
hearing his own death and his success
sor discussed. Leo XIII. will have this
dubious pleasure for some time to come.

The problem, therefore, which con-
fronts the army to whom these condi-
tions must only too soon become familiar
s How to keep in condition during the
cold weather." Too often does the
cyclist when he puts his wheel away
for the winter overlook the important
fact that although he is able to lay aside
his wheel until weather fit for riding it
comes again, the same principles are not
applicable to the human machine. We
reed just as much, if not more, care dur
ing the winter months as in the days
when all out of doors is glorious and we
are beneath roofs only when necessity
compels.
In one way it is just as If a person
who had regularly each day partaken Of
nourishing food should stop the supply
and expect that no evil results would
follow. What must be done is for the
cyclist to find. a substitute for the ex-
ercise which has freshened his blood and
given him a ruddy cheek and healthful
body This problem is one which has
excited the keenest interest among
cyclists generally. and Prof M. ]. Mac
Levy, New York instructor in physical
culture, has demonstrated that the ac-
desired results in remarkably short
space Of time.
1t is a well known fact that during
the past season so many cyclists have
built their systems up by the use Of the
wheel so that to stop cycling all at once
would be almost injurious. 1t would be

simple rules there is no reason why any
rider should, not keep in condition.
The most necessary of all things is to
keep the lungs in the condition to which
wheeling has brought them. Physicians
state that the lungs of cyclists have
many more cells in active operation than
those who follow purely a sedentary life.
To this end it is very important that the
chest development be maintained What
Is known as stationary running is ad-
mirable to bring about desirable results.
Let the cyclist raise the windows Of his
sleeping apartment top and bottom
about half foot each, thus affordlng the
free circulation of air. 1t is best that no
tight clothing be worn during this ex-
ercise, which should be taken before
breakfast, throw the chest out, head up.

JAPAN'S GREAT ENTERPRISE
IN AMERICA
Large Appropriation By Impe-
rial Diet
To Inform Americans How to Take
Tea

Several months ago the Japanese Tea
Guild sent to this country a special COM
mission composed of Mr. S. Mitsuhashi,
president of Shizouka Prefectural Assem-
bly,. and Mr.. ]. Ohara, member of Japanese
Parliament to investigate the condition
of the japanese tea trade in the United
States and Canada and to cooperate with
Mr.. T. Furuya and Mr.. T. Mizutany, the
American representatives of the Japanese
Tea Guild. in giving publicity to the mer-
its Of japanese teas and the method Of
preparing them for drinking which would
insure the best results.
Mr.. Fruruya and Mr.. Mizutany are plan
ming to open ten bazars in many of the
principal cities of the United States and
Canada, where ladies can enjoy cup of
fine Japanese tea made by experts and at
the same time receive instructions which
will enable them to make 1t equally well
at home. More thin half the tea consumed
in the United States and Canada is of
Japanese growth, yet the majority of
Americans apparently do not understand
how to prepare it so as to develop the de-
licious qualities which 1t contains. 1t is
believed by these gentlemen that. when
Americans are in possession of the secret
of making good tea, the consumption in
this country will fully equal that of Eu-
rope in proportion. The Japanese govern
ment has appropriated large fund to aid
the Japanese tea growers and tea mer-
chants in prosecuting this educational
work. and it is hoped that American ladies
will be apt students. The main bureau of
the japanese Tea Guild has issued an Of
fetal recipe for making Japanese tea, the
translation of which is as follows:
First-Use small, dry and thoroughly
clean porcelain teapot.
Second-Put in one teaspoonful of tea
leaves for each cup Of tea desired.
Third-When using Japanese teas. pour
on the required quantity of fresh boiled
water, and let stand with closed lid from
to minutes. Never boil the leaves. In
order to retain the natural flavor. Japanese
tea leaves should be kept in tight can or
jar, free from moisture.
Note.-To thoroughly enjoy the natural,
delicate and sweet flavor of Japanese teas
neither sugar nor cream should be used.

the times are hard and people are not

the very time that advertising should be
the heaviest. You want to get the
people in to see what you have to sell,
and you must advertise to do that.
