ECONOMY OF FORCE.
Good Management of Our Physical Powers
Promotes Grace and Health.

Good Management Of Our Physical Powers
Promotes Grace and health.
"Awkwardness is merely overef-
fort" writes Florence Hull Winter
burn in The Woman's Home Com
panion. whenever we use more
force than the case requires we are
awkward. However unframed our
aesthetic sense may be, awkwardness,
our own as we'll as that of other
people, is painful to us. We cannot
help its being painful, for from in
stinct every one abhors waste and
destruction-every one, even those
who are given to it-and every one
loves good order and economical ad-
ministration.
"When we understand, then, that
grace is simply economy of force,
good management of our vital pow
ers,. the employment of flowing
movements which do not break the
current of nervous energy for abrupt
and angular movements which do
break it, will even the most strait
laced objector to the art of the high
er physical culture hold out against
the idea that gracefulness should be
cultivated as a valuable factor in
happy, healthful living3

everyday duties in manner to

little science into practice. I have

floor with dexterous turn of the
wrist that made the act seem like a
clever oonjuring trick, and this
was no attitudinizing, but natural,
womanly skill. Doubtless this dex-
terity is a natural gift, but it may
be in a large measure acquired.
There are many systems of grace
culture in vogue now, and almost
every progressive woman spends a
little time studying some one of
them. The pity is that most Of the
systems are pure fraud, with prob
ably grain or two of truth beaten
out thin. And even if the system
one chooses as a guide is correct,
theorizing amounts to nothing.
Practice is everything, and self
training is long and tedious proc
ess. Everybody cannot learn to be
graceful. Bodily fexibility is usu-
ally acquired with comparative ease
in youth, and may even be gained
by patient work late in life, hut if
one cannot be positively graceful it
is never impossible to be negatively
graceful-that is, not awkward.

many nervous ailments that af1ict

learn to control our fingers, feet and

pose which is, in other words, alb

words, make all movements smooth

purpose in it.

George Cummins, an employe of the

the soaking pit at the works when the
door of the pit was opened to remove

ALL ARE READY.
Woodwork Stripped from the Fight
in Ships at Key West.-The Who Q
Fleet Ready to Move on Is Min
uteS Notice.

KEY WEST. Fla, March 31.-Every
preparation for action was taken by the
Warships to-day. All woodwork was
stripped from exposed spots and sent
ashore. The wood pilot houses on the
cruisers were taken down. To a certain
extent interior woodwork was also re-
moved and sent ashore. The sailors
wooden boxes were removed from some
of the ships.
These precautions have been adopted
to prevent, as far as possible, the danger
of flying splinters in case of action. The
officers sent their personal valuables and
belongings to be stored ON shore The
Castine ana two torpedo boats left their
anchorages after dark and steamed to
the southwark, where they will patrol
during the night. This precaution was
ordered by Captain Sampson to-day. He
IS particularly anxious to watch closely
the Havana entrance to the harbor and
also to afford additional safety for the
Iowa. Indiana and New York, which lie
unprotected six miles out.
The naval station officials have received
orders TO overhaul their marine engin-
eering stock to that it could be used i'm
stantly in case of emergency. Torpedo
boats not engaged in patrolling tonight
made another attack on the battleships,
but all these measures were guarded with
the greatest secrecy.
The establishment Of a patrol is consid-
cred by the few who know of it as most
significant. The entire fleet is now in
readiness to move at fifteen minutes no.
tice.
The gunboat Annapolis has left for
Brooklyn. The five bodies from the Maine
wreck brought here last night were bur-
lied to-day with the usual simple cere-
mony and without incident.
SPANS answer and the subsequent ac-
ton Of Congress are the all absorbing top
les of conversation. Enlisted men share
the interest exhibited by the officers, and
the suspense is becoming intense. An ex-
perierced naval officer said to-day: IF
we are going to have trouble with Spain,
we might as we'll have it at once This
fleet is as ready for prompt action as it
ever WI be. Ii the question of peace or
war is not decided uphill the Spanish tor
pedo fiotilla and cruisers arrive, 1 think
the war would be of short duration. Mel

Gals were equally as reticent as to
the purpose of his call. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that any European
power thus far has taken the first step
toward mediation, although 1t will not
be unexpected, and is even apprehend-
ed. at any time. The French ambaSsa-

AMONG LEADING DIPLOMATS
the usual course of mediation is being
seriously discussed on the presumption
that it Will become an actual factor in

the corps said to-day that mediation pre-

great powers took any action it would
follow quickly when it became apparent,
as the result of Spain's reply. that an in
evitable conflict was at hand. He said
also that under such circumstances be-
fore Congress took up the consideration
Of the recently proposed declarations of
war it would be advised through the eX-
ecutive branch that the powers desired

friendly influences might be exerted in

His endurance has been placed to the
test within the past ten days, for hardly
a right passes that he and his entire
staff are not engaged until or o'clock
in the morning. When the critical con-
dition of affairs was suggested to him
this morning. he shook his head. irrdfcat-
ing that he believed the apprehension was
magrIfed and suggested that as he had
received an Invitation to dine with a dis
tngushed official the latter part of April
it was hardly probable that he would be
called upon TO retire as a result of war
before that time. On the actual condition
of affairs the minister preserves his usual
absolute silence

Prior to the council a note briefly

this being read at the council Senior
Sagasta, taking a paper from his pock-
