of robust activity. Henry Willard Is

several years ago--that is to say, he
retired as much as he could. A few
days ago a friend met him on the
street and inquired about his health.

our Reoistered Bonds Abroad.

The time has been when the amount
of United States registered bonds held
abroad was so great as to create a
feeling of discomfort, not to say un-
easiness, when it was contemplated.
1t has been many years, though. since
the volume of these bonds in alien
hands was so small as at present. The
total so held just now is only $685.
$50 Cuba is the largest holder, hav-
ing $1,996,700. Next comes France,
with 1899 900, and then England, with
s521.450. Spain holds $S3.500. The

the body upright, above the hips, not
bending forward or leaning too far
back. Keep the chest out and the
shoulders back, when on guard. Bend
back very slightly, but not enough to
injure your balance or to prevent you
from changing position or from hitting
with quickness.
Hold the right arm partly across
the body with the right glove in the
centre to guard the wind. The glove
should be held only about six inches
or so from the body. The right glove
should usually be held while at
guard) at about the height of the
solar plexus. The solar plexus is the
nerve centre, situated just below the
point where the ribs begin to diverge
into letter A. 1t is about here that
many man has been struck. with the
effect of losing the bout, or at the very
least having his wind badly damaged.
1t is an important point to guard
1.-THE left arm should be extended
somewhat further, but not so far that
1t cannot guard the heart in close
quarter scrimmage. It is with the left
arm. remember that you do most of
your leading, while the right should
be reserved for cross-quarter work and
for guarding.
AFTER you become proficient you
can change this guard to suit yourself,
but it is well to begin in this way.
Turn the head a little more to the
right, not too far, but enough to avoid
offering full face to your opponents
attack. The move in boxing (as
taught In many good schools) is the
straight left lead.
"Hit out with your left for the face.
Don't haul your arm away back be-
fore hitting. II you did that in real
fight | would not only know just what
you were about to do, but, while your
arm was going so far back, mine
would be shooting forward.
Just hit out straight for the face
with your left; not stiffiy, but letting
the shoulder go with the blow, and at
the same time not twisting the body
out of position, but bending slightly
forward to give weight to the blow.
The moment the blow has fairly land
ed get your arm back to position. Be
sure not to lower your right-hand
guard when hitting thus with the left
II you do you have both heart and
wind exposed. Next lead with the
right for the face in the same manner,
avoiding the same mistakes. Get
back on guard. Lead for my face
with the left and bring it back to
guard. Then lead for the face with
the right. bringing that back, too.
Repeat this several times. Don't bend
the knees when leading for the face.
These two simple blows are among
the first principles of boxing, and,
easy as they seem, they need lot of
practice"

Lessons as Given by Terry McGovern,
the Greatest Boy Fighter In the
World-The Position, the Guard and

Practice.
Young Terry McGovern, the cham
pion boy boxer of the world has been
giving some lessons in the art of self
defence. in the New York World, in
which he says:
you and your opponent should
start about equal. AS you learn to
box better you can begin to box with
men a little more expert than your
self, in order to improve your skill;
but don't do 1t at first.
while believe that the best fight

nature rather than to science-yet it

put on your eight-ounce gloves and
I'll give you your first lesson.
Now, then, come to guard. Stand
with the left foot advanced about Is
20 Is inches in front of the right.
Don't spoil your balance by holding
your feet yard or so apart, as people
do in fancy boxing pictures. Rest the
weight on the ball Of the foot. Rest
most of it on the left foot in advanc-
ing. This not only braces you to re-
sist blow, but adds force to your own
blows, and enables you to throw more
strength into back, arms and shout
ders.
The toes of the left foot should
be straight in front, not turned on
or in. Turn the right foot out at an
angle of about As degrees, as rule,
though you will soon learn by expert.
ence at what angle you can most con-
veniently hold it. When standing on
guard keep the knees unbent and the
legs straight. Stand so that your
weight can be readily shifted from
foot to foot Practise this until it
become natural. The right heel al
ways should be on line with the left.
Now that disposes of the body be
low the waist. Before we go higher
let me impress on you the absolute
need of learning how to use the feet
and legs in boxing. They are well
nigh as important as the hands. Work

took the stocking down and opened it

Boiled turkey is very popular in Eng
land, and is certainly a most delicious
dish-a handsome one, too, with a proper
sauce. A good way to ''boil'' turkey
is TO steam 1t. Use a baby wash-boiler,
and arrange rack or something on rests
that will hold the bird up above the wat
er. Steam until 1t is perfectly tender
without falling to pieces.
For salad rolled bread is in very good
taste. Take fresh bread and cut off all
the crusts with very sharp knife. Then
butter one end. slice thin and roll up,
buttered side inward. When sufficient
number Of rolls are prepared tie them in
clean white cloth and keep in a cool
place for quite while before using.
A dinner never needs it. but chicken pie
is regulation item on Christmas menus.
1t may be prepared the day before il the
relocating is carefully done.
Never under any circumstances use a
four-aHd-water thickening for making
gravies. 1t is quite as bad as boiling tea
both culinary sins.
Stuff turkeys or any fowl not more
than three-quarters full, or less, as dress
ings swell and so become solid il packed
tightly.
Unless scailoped oysters are on the
Christmas menu oyster soup should be
the soup selection.
Sailed nuts are always in favor during
the progress of the Christmas dinner.
The old-fashioned mince pies are al
ways in order.

Of candy, they made balls of whale fat, or
