How We Walk.

Ii The Literary Digest appears a tra-.-.Iti5;s z e Ecvisvv os ''Csa.aI.asHt on Marche' ("How We Walk"), the latest book on the subject by Messrs. RccnauIt and Rsoul. In this work it is clai-aed that we have been wrongly ed- uca;ed in walking and that the erect posture and firm step that We have been jed to believe were evidences of health and strength are conventional and vii CiCUS.
 X. Marcy, who wrote the intrOduc- ton to the volume, says that there is a style of walking that enables one, with oct excessive fatigue, to go distances of from 20 to 25 miles in 0 third of the time usually required. This may be ac- complished by walking with the knees ben. and tbe body inclined forward, a met nod which has been observed Tn pro fessional pedestrians, mOuntaineers, peasants. hunters and soldiers fatigued hy long marches Tn not adopting thiC method, 1t is claimed that, as with all the other acts of life, we remain slaves of conventional aesthetics.

Being an Incident Showing One of the Charms of War. The Firth boys bring home some jolly stories stories fbat cen hs laughed at now, however serious they may aays appeared at the time At Fernandina one week the ration supply ran low. There was talk of nov. ing the camp. Part of the equiraee had been taken away. Part of it was packed up. The kitchen department was boxed and hauled to the nearest railway sta tion- But the boys still fingered, wait ing for the orders that didn't come.
 Pretty sOon everything edible bad vanished except some canned salmon and hard tack So the boys ate canned salmon and hard tack for breakfast, ditto dinner, ditto supper. Canned salmon is delicious at times, but il can be abused. Canned salmon three times day approaches the character of a nauseating drug.
 There was canned salmon and hard tack for breakfast next morning. Hard tack for everybody, and canned salmon for those who enjoyed it.
 One of the boys declared he was get ting pink around the gi!is.
 For dinner there was hard tack and canned salmon.
 Along in the middle of the afternoon a smart young orderly pranced up and asked for detail to go after supplies.
 It didn't take long to hustle 'em of with the camp wagon. Then the hungry men sat around and made bets on the sort of food that was coming. They smacked their lips and smiled in pleased anticipation. There was nothing men, tioned that didn't seem heavenly i'm provement on that internal salmon.
 Pretty soon the wagon came in sight. As it got a little nearer the eager eyes could discern the boxes that were piled within it
 Steadily it approached and finally with a sharp whip crack halted in front of the commissary headquarters. 4 crowd of wild eyed men listened with bated breath as the young orderly came to the front.
 Supplies from the station" he briskly announced. "Four boxes of English shoe blackingW
 And that was all.
 They had hard tack for supper that night.
 Nobody touched the salmon.-Cleve land Plain Dealer.

Water by GraVitation from Reservoir Storage and a Sewer System.

The one absorbing municipal question in Prescott Is to obtain a sufficient water supply. For years at great cost, with most unsatisfac- tory results, a system of pumping water from wells has been maintain ed. These pumping systems have failed when water was most needed. During this time the question of water storage by impounding flood waters in dams has become a na- tional one, and one which has re- ceived the attention of civil engi- neers the world over.
 Falling into the line of modern progress, the present city council called in all the best local expert authority to be had and also sent for a civil engineer of national repute and while they differed as to detail, all were unanimous in recommend ing water storage by dams so that the water would flow into the city by gravitation, and they all agreed that the Asper-Potts creek water sheds offered a most suitable place for such dam.
 4 citizen finance committee, act ing conjunction with the city coun- cil, acquiesced on these general principles laid down.
 On the 18th of April last. by vote of 404 to g, Prescott voted in favor of these combined agreements of experts as endorsed by prominent citizens.
 Now, We, the undersigned, at the request of those who believe in car rying this work forward, which work was inaugurated by the late Mayor Wm O. O'Neill, and endorsed by all experts and voters, do hereby announce ourselves as candidates for the following offices, pledging ourselves to carry out this gravity system of waterworks as specified Il
