Art of Climbing stairs.

One of Americas leading physicians

understand the art of climbing stair
ways without making themselves tired
before reaching the top. Says or in.
formant on this subject:
"UsUally person will tread on the
ball of his foot in taking each step.
This is very tiresomo and wearing on
the mUscles, nv it throws the entire
weight of the body ON the muscles of
the legs and feet. You should, in
walking or climbing stairs, seek for
the most equal distribution of the
body's weight possible. In walking
upstairs Your feet should be placed
suunrcly down ON the step, heel and
all, and then the work should be per.
formed slowly and deliberately. In
this way there il no strain upon any
particular muscle, but each one is do
ing its duty in natural manner. The
man who goes upstairs with spring
You may be sure is no philosopher, or,
at least, his reasoning has not been
directed to that subject. The doctor
might have gone little further in the
same line, and protested against the
habit which many persons have of
bending over half double whenever
they ascend flight of stairs. In ex.
ertion of this kind, when the heart is
naturally excited to more rapid action.

Longest Fence in the World.

The longest fence in the world Is
probably that which has just been fin
ished by the Erie Cattle company
along the Mexican border. 1t is rs
miles in length and separates exactly,
for its entire distance, the two repub-
lies of North America. The fence was
built to keep the cattle from running
across the border and falling easy
preyto the Mexican COW punchers. Al
though it cost great deal of money,
it is estimated that cattle enough will
be saved in one year to pay for it, 1t
is barbed wire fence, with mesquite
and cottonwood poles, and for the en-

Authorizations of the Products of Flour.

Authorizations of the Products of Flour.
With the products of -four, such as
bread buns, cake, macaroni vermi-
celli, etc, the adulteration, while
more frequent, is likewise not very
pronounced. Bread is said to be adul-
terated with alum, sulphate of copper,
ammonia, hours other than wheat, and
inferior grade of flour. 1t is ques-
tionablc if these authorizations are
practiced to any extent III the United
States. In England and on the CONT
nent number of cases are on record
in which the above authorizations were
found and the offenders prosecuted.
Where coloring principles are de-
sideratum, the adulteration of bread,
cake, etc, while not frequent has been
very marked Possibly all of my
hearers may remember the fragrant
adulteration of buns and noodles with
chrome yellow, which was brought so
prominently to the notice OF the Phil
adelphia community several years ago.

eight grains of lead chromate in

SHE TURNED THE TABLES.
The Husbands Impressive Lesson for

II seemed to him an excellent tim .

he started for his hat he said to her:
Suppose You had wanted me to
spend the evening with you before we
were married and had planned to do
something else"

"What Of it?'
"You wouldn't have sulked. would
you?" he asked.
"No.o, suppose not she replied
hesitatingly.
"You wouldn't have got cross and
been disagreeable about it, would
you?"
"Probably not"

and sweet and clever as you possibly
could be, he asserted, You would
have been both lovable and loving aud

"Never mind the 'huts'' he inter-
rupted, feeling that he was gaining
his point. "What ] am trying to inn
press upon you is that woman doesn't
seem to think it worth while to try the
same arts on husband that she does
on lover. That's where you're both
foolish and unjust. Now, you admit
that before marriage" -

Song of the Shells.

Says a correspondent who was
stationed with the American feet
Oft Santiago: "In the two hot en-
gagements in which 1 watched the
fighters closely 1 have never seen
anything indicative of fear. True,
everybody has a curious sensation
as the first shells of the enemy
whistled overhead, and when one
strikes, with its frightful explosion,
you look around anxiously for an
instant. II the smoke is cleared
from your ship you will see puff
of smoke from a battery ashore.
Then ust as you have forgotten
the smoke, about three seconds
later, you hear a sound like a
swarm of bees humming over your
head. Pretty soon the shells be-
gin to come faster and faster. They
drop In the water on both sides of
YOU. One hits the military mast,
and the debris of steel and rope
and wood comes tumbling about
you. You look up wonderingly,
but give it merely an instant's
thought Then your mind re.
verts to the terrible roar of your
guns and then comes the sing e
idea OF keeping outside the radius
of fire, not of enemy's guns, but
those on your own ship, equally
dangerous to your safety, the pres
ervation of your eardrums and your
life.

Herr Appunn Of Hanau has invented
a bell Of a new shape, which is said to
have very deep tone and to be as pow
erful as considerably heavier bells Of
the form at present in vogue. The shape
is peculiar, being hemispherical, while
the metal is uniform in thickness ex-
cept near the "sound bow Tor the

From the edge to some little distance
above the sound bow the metal is very
thick, and then alters suddenly to the
uniform thickness which it has for the
rest of the bell. Invention.

He said he had been unable to
