Walking Up Stnaxv.

A physician who declared that few
people knew how to walk up stairs
properly was asked to describe how it
person will tread on the ball of the
foot in taking each step. This Is very
tiresome 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 walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the most
equal distribution Of the body's weight
possible.
'In walking up stairs your feet
should be placed squarely down on the
step, heel and all, and then the work
should be performed slowly and de-
liberately. In this way there is no
strain upon any particular muscle, but
each one is doing it's duty in a natural
manner. The woman who goes up
stairs With 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 fight Of
stairs is exceeding reprehensible. In
any exertion of this kind, when the
heart is naturally excited to more
rapid action, it is desirable that the
lungs should have full play. The
crouching position interferes with
their action, the blood is imperfectly
aerated, and there is trouble at once.
Give the lungs chance to do their
work everywhere and at all times."-

Nan.en and Hi. Pole.

When DR.. Nansen visited Leeds, soon
after his north pole expedition, very
amusing incident was witnessed. A

welcome him, two of his most ardent
admirers being a couple Of old men
who kept waving their sticks and
shouting themselves hoarse. When the
celebrated explorer had passed in his
carriage, there followed In his wake q
wagon, dragged by horses, bearing a
long iron pole which belonged to an
electric ttramway company. Directly
the old men saw it the following con-
versation took place:
well. I'll be bowed, Bill, he's browt
t'pole back wi himy, said one.
".Aye," said the other, "and we t'only
two ats noticed it. They're all run
ming after tcarriage, sitha. They're
