Good Exercise For the Calves.

That results which seem incredible
can be obtained in the development of
the muscles without resorting to gym
nasium practice or using expensive ap-
paratus and without the slightest in
reference with the subjects usual
mode Of life has been learned with
pleasure by young man in German
town. He bought bicycle last summer
and proposed to ride it, but his legs
we're so small that in "bike" pants he
was jeered at wherever he went, and
soon his wheel was rusty from disuse.
he determined then to enlarge his
calves, and in September he began the
simple exercise Of standing with stiff
knees fat footed, then rising as hIgh as
possible on his toes and repeating shis
until thoroughly tired: His calves are
s--,ra=.s,-tsro IhCnes bigger Thirty rises
in succession was the limit of his en-
durance the first day, but 500 rises do
not fatigue him now. He has been av-
eraging daily since January ten min
utes on getting up, ten before luncheon
and ten before retiring. .-Philadelphiss

A White Elephant In Paris.

A genuine white elephant-or what
passes as such-has been presented to
the Parisians by NJ Doumer, the French
representative in Siam. Cherie, as the
pachyderm has already been nicknamed,
made her state entry into Paris few
days ago, being met at the Care de
Lyon by distinguished company.
Some little disappointment was felt
when it was observed, as the traveller
stepped onto the platform, that she was
scarcely so white as she had been paint
ed. The prevailing tone of her complex
ion is indeed sort of patchy red. veiled
by a mass of grayish hair, the eyes and
the eyelids being pink. 1t will be re-
membered that Barnum's specimen,
secured at immense cost. I" fell equally
short of its reputation.
As matter of fact, the A1bino ele-
phant is never really white, but the de-
6ciency of nature is sometimes made up
for by the aid of art. 1t is gratifying to
learn that the guest Of the Jardin des
Plantes has charming manners, includ-
ing clever habit of kneeling and doing
obeisance to the French public. Lon

Closed House Precautions.

A house that is to De closed during
the summer should have sheet iron
screens fitted into each open CRATE. This
will prevent the SCOT sitting down into
the room, az it might easily do with
nobody to look out for it. Another eau
tion is to see that the ice box Is left
perfectly empty. with the exception Of
q shallow dish filled with charcoal and
that the doors stand wide open. One
more precaution is that any kerosene
lamps left in the house should be thor
oughly cleaned, the wicks taken out
and burned and the burners and FIX
tures boiled in soda water, to be left
absolutely clean. Nothing is more per-
meatingsand offensive than the smell
from stale oil.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-A state

adiutant general of the army shows
that with the departure of the
Pennsylvania from San francisco
about $500 reinforcements were dis
patched to the Philippines this week.
There are about 1900 recruits at San

to recruit the regular regiments in
the Philippines up to their maximum
strength of l2o men 70 company.
Including the 18th infantry, under
orders for Manila, and troops at

THE ARMIES AT SAN FERNANDO.
MANILA, July 1.-l0.40 a. ma
collision between the two armies at
San Fernando seems inevitable soon.
The insurgents are active all around
the town and can be seen working in
the trenches to strengthen their posi-
ton. Day and night forces are at
work. It is estimated that three
thousand men were seen marching
in the road north of the city yester-
day morning.
The Americans turned out and
manned the defences, expecting an
attack. The soldiers sleep in their
clothes and breakfast at 4 O'Clock in
the morning, so as to be ready for
daybreak assault.
The commission of three Spanish
officers who entered the insurgent
lines fortnight ago to make final
to arrange for the release of
the Spanish prisoners have not re-
turned.

BURDEN OF THE WEST.

Roosevelt says the West Holds the Fu-
ture of the Nation.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, June 8.-Gov.
Roosevelt, who is visiting in this
city, was escorted to the Milwaukee
chamber of commerce to-day just
before the hour of closing and given
an enthusiastic reception. In ad-
dressing the bulls and bears he said:
"At the end of the nineteenth CEN
tury, as this cohntry moves along on
the road to greatness, she has many
serious problems to face, and when
she needs men to carry out her pur-
pose she can call upon men Of the
best thought and wisdom, just such
men as l am now addressing. You
of the great West hold in your hands
the future of this nation. 1t rests
with you and you will, Iknow, show
yourselves equal to the task. -.
I'VE always have with us our home
problems, and we should aim al
ways to get into public life men Of
courage. of common sense and OF
honesty. No amount of genius or
brilliancy can atone for lack of the
element of fearlessness, Of decency
and horse sense, and no one or two
of these will avail unless the man
has all three. The ablest man alive,
if corrupt, is a danger to the country
or community to just the extent OF
his brilliancy and ability, and you,
gentlemen, are in honor bound to
allow him to feel the weight Of your
disapproyal.
II don't care how brave a man is,
if he is a natural-born fool, he is not
worth knocking in the head.
IF man is lacking in common
honesty, he is not fit for public life,
no matter how brilliant he may be.
I'VE have certain important
foreign problems which confront US.
The United States has evidently as
great a destiny OH the Pacific as on
the Atlantic ocean, and, whether we
live on the former or the latter, we
must be equally interested in the
welfare of the nation upon every
foreign question: We should all see
that the nation rises on the Atlantic,
and we have a right to demand OF all
good citizens to stand by the presi-
dent.
1--WE want to make it understood
that while we fear no nations ana
shirk no duty, we desire above all
things peace, and we feel that there
are three great nations which have
interests together. These are
America, England and Germany.
These should work hand in hand for
the solution of the questions that
now confront us in the Pacific."s :

row lately, and instead of punching
each others heads were persuaded to
fight duel "under severe conditions.
They were stripped to the waist, blind
folded and armed with revolvers. One
shot was to be fred at Is PAGES, blind
folded; then the combatants were to
raise the bandages, advance to ten PAGES
distance and fire again. Two rounds
were fired in this way without damage
to any one, not even the foHr seconds.
