The legislative committee sent to ex-
anime the twine plant at the Minnesota
penitentiary is convinced of the practi-
cability of similar plant for the insti-
tuition in this state The report of the
committee will recommend strongly
the establishment of Irvine plant at
the North Dakota penitentiary. The
proposed plant that will be recon-
mended will be of an annual output of
between 5000, 900 and 4 ZOO, 900 pounds
of twine or about 10000 pounds daily,
which it estimated would supply about
one-third of the twine used in the state.
A special report of the state exalnin-
ers has been presented to the chairman
of the house and senate appropriation
committees showing that the total avail
able funds in the state treasury in the
next two years for la" "~o of the insti.
tutions will be only s,:..n, 900. The re-
quests of the institutions aggregate
$3.50, 900. Senator Twitchell of the SEN
ate committee stated that the commit
tee would report in favor of such ap-
preparations for institutions as would
keep within this limit.

HOW TO WALK UP STAIRS.
when an Equal Distribution OF the
BOdy's Weight II 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
it's duty in natural manner. The
woman who goes upstairs with a spring
is no philosopher, or at least she is not
making proper use of her reasoning
faculties. The habit, too, of bending
over half double when ascending q
fight 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 chance to do their work
everywhere and at all times" -

Miss Amelia Judson, Of st. Louis, be-
came an Arizona sawMA;iler all in one
day. Her brother had invested $3s, 1000
in timber lands and bui:t sawmill and
.estab blished the Jndson lumber camp,
% miles northeast OF Williams. Ariz.
He made q speciality of timber suitable
for boxes for the California fruit trade
and from the start was successful. In
June, 1898, young. Judson's mother and
sister came to visit him. Miss Judson
had just finished 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 toreturn 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

it, avoiding the sacrifice of forced sale,
was to keep the plant in operation.
And so it was that college-bred Ame-
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 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
made money every month since Feb
ruary, or since I got the run of the
work, is no credit of mine, but the re-
suit of my brothers establishment Of
the business. 1 like the work very
much, and I shall no doubt continue it.
I am never lonesome out there in the
camp, for the work so occupies all my
waking hours that I never have time
to dwell on sentimentalities."
