HOW TO WALK UP STAIRS.
When an Equal Distribution of the
Body's Weight Is Secured It's
an Easy Task.

A physician who declared that few
people know how to walk upstairs
properly was asked to describe how it
should be done. He said: Usually a
person will tread on the ball of his foot
in taking each step. This is very tire
some and wearing on the muscles, as it
throws the entire suspended weight of
the body on the muscles of the legs and
feet. You should, in walking or climb
ing stairs, seek for the most equal dis
tribution of the body's weight possible.
''In walking upstairs your feet should
be placed squarely down on the step,
heel and all, and then the work should
be performed slowly and deliberately.
In this way there is no strain upon any
particular muscle, but each one is doing
its duty in a natural manner. The
woman who goes upstairs with spring
is no philosopher, or at least she is not
making a proper use of her reasoning
faculties. The habit, too, of bending
over half double when ascending a
flight of stairs is exceedingly repre-
hensible. In any eXertion of this kind,
when the heart is naturally excited to a
more rapid action, it is desirable that
the lungs should have full play. The
crouching position interferes with their
action, the blood is imperfectly aereat-
ed, and there is trouble at once. Give
the lungs a chance to do their work
everywhere and at all times"

GOLF AS A TEMPER TEST.
A Lucklcss Player Demonstrates
How Easy 1t Is to Control
Ones Self.

A golf story which should certainly be
added to the already excellent number to
which the game has given birth possesses
an advantage which cannot be claimed for
all OF them, that of being absolutely authen-
tic. An enthusiast, who was somewhat of a
tyro at golf, though of great distinction at
other forms of athletics, had series of mis-
fortunes with which most people can sympa-
thize. He was playing against man whose
opinion he valued, and he consistently topped
his ball, sliced it, pulled it, lifted it into a
tree, played fine cleek stroke into bunker,
and made extraordinary straight long dis
tance puts in which the ball hoped genially
across the hole into the long grass which
skirted the green.
At first the players demeanor was omi-
nously sweet; he seemed positively to enjoy
his strokes; then he grew mad; then he grew
apparently careless, though his caddie no.
ticed the careessless was only assumed, as
he was pressing horribly. The worst of golf
IS that you can never deceive either your
caddie or your ball. At last, at the seventh
hole, he grew wonderfully calm, and marched
oil to the next teeing ground, remarking to
his trembling caddie that he would not
trouble to hole out. After an easy prelim-
mary swing or two he topped his ball, which
trlckled away about 20 yards to the right
Then the man took all his clubs and broke
them one by one across his knee, remarking
quietly to his opponent that sit is better to
break your internal clubs than to lose your
Internal temper. ."-London Telegraph.

ELECTRICAL COOKING.
1t Has Proved a Great Success Wher-
ever 1t Has Been Given
Thorough Trial.

Electricity is making its way into the
kitchen through the parlor and dining
room, says the Cosmopolitan. For some
time it has been used for the heating
of the five-o' clock tea kettle, eliminat-
ing the dangers which are always in
CURED when an alcohol lamps used.
tea kettle, coffee pot or chating dish
may be adjusted to the nearest lamp in
a house wired for electric lighting.
The experienced cook knows that
there are dishes which are never seen in
their perfection ten feet from the fire
that cooked them. People who have
passed their youth in the country grow
peevish over the way years have
deteriorated the flavor of some simple
carly favorite of the table. Electrical
appliances have done something to
bring back the old conditions. Griddle
cakes baked on a steel griddle, electric
ally heated to the exact temperature,
lightly brushed with oil, are a crisp de-
light as they are tipped from griddle to
plate. But while this appliance can be
used with the Illuminating current, it
requires an extra attachment, as that
current is too weak. This is generally
put in at the leg of the dining-table.
Up to this time electricity has been
used almost exclusively by the woman
who makes fad of experimental cook
ing, and she has her electric kitchen
fitted up like a small laboratory, far
from the domain of the family cuisine.
The whole paraphernalia might fit
into tiled closet almost anywhere, so
hooded and ventilated that no odor es-
capes into the surrounding rooms. In
one of the apartment houses in New
York dainty little electric kitchens have
been fitted up where the tenants have
asked for them, although the apart
ments were not designed for house
keeping originally.

it, avoiding the sacrifice of forced sale,
was to keep the plant in operation.
And so it was that college-bred Anne
liza Judson became a sawmiller in the
heart of the Bill William mountains of
Arizona. She went to the office and
took charge. The rough men who saw
her wondered at her temerity and
hardihood; then they admired her
pluck and determined to help her in
every way possible. She went into the
woods with the logging teams and
learned every detail of the work of
converting Il standing tree into lum-
Der or fruit boxes. She got out her
brothers contracts in time, took fur
ther orders and prospered at every
turn. Running a sawmill has passed
the experimental stage with me" said
Miss Judson. THE fact that we have

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

II there is one thing on which the
housewife prides herself, it is that of
having her laundering done nicely, so
that the wearing apparel may be the ad-
miration of all. The washing is small
matter, any one almost can do that, but
to have the linens present that f1ex-
ible and glossy appearance after being
ironed requires fine quality of starch.
Ask your grocer for coupon book
which will enable you to get the first
two packages of this new starch-"Red
Cross" trade mark brand, also two of

MILLET FOR SOILING.
A Crop Furnishing Valuable Feed for
Dairy Cattle, Young stock,
Sheep and Poultry.

Millet, says bulletin Of the agricul-
tural department just published, is fed
principally as a hay and soiling crop.
The forage ranks well with that of
other grasses in the nutritive content,
and its palatability is about that of the
average for the coarser sorts. For
digestibility, millet forage compares fa-
vorably with that from other coarse
grasses.
Already widely grown as hay crop,
millets deserve more general use for
soiling. They are particularly valuable
for feeding to dairy cattle young stock
and sheep. There are mary sections of
the country where this crop can be
made to supplement the pastures in
such a way as to allow a material in
crease in the number of stock that can
be kept on the farm.
On account of the heavy yield of for
age and the good quality of the product,
millets are excellent grasses for use i'll
the silo. Frequently good crop of mil
let can be raised under conditions which
would not admit of growing corn for en-
silagc, and in such instances it becomes
of especial value. One of the best meth
DDS OF preserving this crop is by the use
of the silo. Those who have tried this
method have obtained excellent results.
A fine quality of ensilage may be made
by using barnyard millet and a legu-
minous crop like soy beans or clover.
The seed of the foXtail millets is widely
used as food for fowls and birds, but is
seldom fed to stock. 1t has, however,
been used in feeding young stock, such
as calves, with a fair degree of success.
The seed is excellent food for layi8g
hens.-Farmers' Voice.

Simple Table Decoration.

A pretty table decoration can be ar
anged with pressed ferns. The center
iece should be of growing ferns, and
oliage of the same green should be
strewn upon the cloth in careless but
artistic profusion. Fresh ferns cannot
so well be used for this purpose, as their
caves are apt to turn and wrinkle. The
pressed variety is obtainable of any
florist and can be used many times if

blisters. Treatment: Catch the pig and
swab its mouth out thoroughly with a
solution of carbolic acid and water suf-
ficiently strong to make the flesh upon
the arm tingle. Apply it with rag,
orasmall piece of sponge tied on a stick.
A strong sage tea applied in the same
way is good, and in addition take pow
derd sulphur, put it into a large straw,
hold the pigs mouth open and blow
the dry sulphur in. Apply these RENE,
dies frequently and battle the sow's
teats and udder with a weak solution of
carbolic acid. Keep litters that have
it away from other pigs. Care, close
attention and the frequent application
of the above remedies will rarely fail
to cure if taken in time. The sow should
be fed sulphur in her slops.

MANAGES A SAWMILL.
ST. Louis Society Girl Gives Up the
Luxuries of Home to Run an
Arizona Plant.

Miss Amelia Judson, of st. Louis, be-
came an Arizona sawmiller all in one
day. Her brother had invested $3s, 900
in timber lands and built a sawmill and
established the Judson lumber camp,
% miles northeast of Williams, Ariz.
He made a speciality of timber suitable
for boxes for the California fruit trade
and from the start was successful. In
June, 1898, young Judsons mother and
sister came to visit him. Miss Judson
had Just finished a course at Cornell
university and expected, after leaving
Arizona to go to Paris to study art.
But misfortune prevented. Only a
week before she and her mother had
intended to return to st. Louis, Andrew
Judson became suddenly i'll with
typhoid fever and died. That was last
October.
There was but one thing to do. Three
important contracts for lumber and
box material were in course of fulfill
ment when the ambitious young lum-
herman died. Both mother and daugh-
ter realized that thousands of dollars
of their money was tied up in the lum-
Der camp and that the only way to save
