An AmuaInr story.

A wicked little story is current In
Anglo-Indian circles. Some n versed
in dry as dust records happened to
mention to Miss Letter, Lady curzon's
sister, that the military way af salut-
ing by bringing the hand into a horl-
zontal position over the eyebrows
dates back to the tournaments Of the
middle ages. when. after the queen OF
beauty was enthroned, the knights
who were to take part in the sports
marched past the dais on which she
sat and. as they passed, shielded their
eyes from the full strength of the rays
of her loneliness.
An imaginative member OF the staff
declares Miss Letter Immediately
jumped to the conclusion that this
particular ceremony has been revived
in Calcutta since the arrival Of three
very fair and distinguished ladies hall
Ing originally from Chicago.

A good stride will cover about seven
feet, seven feet two inches, seven feet
four inches or seven feet six inches. 1t is
a great mistake to overstride. because In
so doing an unnecessary amount of en-
ergy is wasted, and fatigue comes on
more quickly. If one is able to stride
seven feet at first he is doing well. 1t is
best to increase the stride by inches. In
this way a good stride may be obtained
without unduly taxing the muscles.

The Goehel Election Laws.

The one just accusation against Mr..
Goebel is the election law that bears
his name. The Courier-Journal opposed
it earnestly. Mr.. Goebel himself
doubted its wisdom. The law was not
of his origination. His instincts and
his intelligence were against it. He
found it to be a stumbling block in
his canvass for Governor. He became
convinced that it was an ill-judged
law. He stood ready to have it so
modified as to make it a good law.
But during the period of it's passage
when the Courier-Journal pleaded
with him-never uttering a word
against him, for W. recognized him
them as the n promising force in
Kentucky politics-the one leader who
had opinions and who was ready to
fight for them-the very embodiment
and incarnation of all the Courier
Journal has fought for these 80 years
he could not see these things, and
so the Goebel bill was enacted into
law, and all the efforts Of the Courier
Journal to prevent 1t were futile. Ev-

staff Correspondence of the Register.
LONDON, May 17.-Diplomats and
bigwigs all over Europe are discussing
eagerly the important change that is
1Aout to take place in the succession to
laAustrian throne, but perhaps nat
urally are not giving much attention
to the interesting fact that this change
is only a sequel to that rarity, a real
0 match, in which a member of roy
atty figures, and the other fact that
this is an instance of a prince who, I'M
til recently, had been regarded as a
trife boorish and altogether selfish,
making an immense sacrifice of rank
to marry the woman he loves instead
of some partner that might be picked
out for him.
The member of royalty who is doing
this is the Archduke Franz Ferdinand,
heir apparent to the throne of Austria,
and the oma whom he will marry is
the Countess Sole Chotek of the court.
The fact that she is not of royal birth
and usage makes it impossible for the
children of such a union to inherit their
fathers rank, and it is because the
Archduke persisted in his determination
to marry the Countess that, the EN-
peror's consent having been given. the
ministers of the court are preparing
bills to be offered at once to the

Reichstag changing the succession to
franz Ferdinand's nephew, a young
boy. The Archduke has a brother,
but he is an outcast from the court and
society.
This is the first trace of anything
like tenderness or deep feeling that
the royal lovers disposition has ever
shown. Hitherto a lack of polish
amounting to churlishness, quarrel
someness and fierce obstinacy have
been his chief characteristics. He is
not dissipated, however. He is big
and strapping, rarely smiles, but when
he is amused breaks out in a loud
guffaw. He is unpopular alike with
the court and the common people,
and has been boycotted socially sew
eral times. He cares nothing for the
sports that most monarchs affect, but
makes a fad of playing engineer in To-
motives. Most Austrians regard the
Archduke's heirship to the throne as
one Of the most unfortunate results
of Prince Rudolph's suicide. He mas
quarreled with his uncle, the Emperor,
score of times, and it is said that on
some of these occasions the Emperor
sailed in and chastised his royal
nephew, usually with his powerful
fists, but at least with a horse whip
once. The Archduke often has proph-
esied what his programme as Emperor
would be, and limited that "a%bsolution'
would be his wstchword, and that
whoever got in his way would get
hurt. In '92 the Emperor bundled
Franz Ferdinand off on a tour of the
world, hoping that what he saw would
wake him up and better fit him faa

AN EXPERT WRITES
ON RUNNING.
1t Is a Manly Sport If You Do 1t
Gracefully and Well.
BY j. GARDNER SMITH. NJ n

Running, which is accelerated walking.
presents more ridiculous spectacles than
almost any other exercise. The man or
woman dashing for a car is often a most
undlgnified sight. such persons expend a
needless amount of muscular energy in
accomplishing which ought not to nut
them out of breath.
Age ought not to interfere with run-
ming. An old man ought not to get out Of
breath any sooner than a young one. But
there is one thing to be guarded against.
That is heart trouble. All men and wo-
men should be examined, for the victim
of heart disease never realizes his affIic-
ton till too late. The lack of pain in mi
tial stages of the disease make it dan
gerous.
In running, unlike walking, the heel
never strikes the ground, the toe always
does. In walking there is a time when
both feet are on the ground, in running
there is a time when both are off the
ground. To run gracefully spring from
the toe and let ankle. knee and hip bend
freely. The whole body should be in an
easy, not a stiff position.
When running. no matter what the dis
lance, he's arms. or more properly speak
ing, the upper extremities. should be
chiefly used from the shoulder with pre-
eision and shoul swing in harmony with
the legs, or lower extremities. The right
arm should move with the left leg. and
the left arm with the right leg. in order
to maintain perfect balance and 10 gain
greater speed. The trunk and head should
be allowed to assume their natural posi-
ton which, If a person carries himself
properly, will be in the erect posture or
nearly so. The runne ought never to
lean forward.
All distances under and including one
mile, should be run upon the toes. while
distances over one mile should be run
upon the ball of the foot, or the part,just
back of the toes.
Runners should put their feet out In
front of them in a perfectly straight line,
making the advanced step with one foot
when the other IL directly beneath the
body, keeping each arm tn tn relative

the position he will some day hold,
and at that time the Archduke visited
the United States.
The woman who has inspired this
cold-blooded, calculating prince with
a passion that has made him forget
his innate selfishness and love of sta
ton is the daughter of Count Bobus-
low, a former Austrian ambassador to
the Belgian Court, and is one of the
women in waiting to the A~rchduchess
Isabella. In figure she is tall and
slender and she possesses a winning
face, with hazel eyes and light brown
hair. She seems to be the last m
in the world who would have been ex-
pected to attract the bumptious Arch
duke, for her chief quality is earnest
ness and, although she takes a full
part in court pleasure, her favorite
pastimes are study and work among
the poor. She speaks four modern
languages-of which, after her native
tongue, she prefers English-including
Bohemian, which few foreigners are
able to master. Her apartments are
scattered with English books and
magazines. Also she plays, paints and
~embroiders, doing all these things well,
Naturally she is interesting to talk
with, her social popularity is great and
she is credited with exercising much
influence in a singularly quiet way.
Although the children of this singu-
larry assorted pair-if they should be
so biessed-would be excluded from
the succession to the throne because
the Countess is not of royal blood. it
must not be supposed that the Arch
duke is making a m~isalliance other
wise than technically. Not only did
her father hold high rank and come
from one of the oldest families in b.
hernia, but her mother was also of
noble blood. One of her sisters was
maid of honor to the Grown Prince
S~tefanie, and the other sisters married
Austrian mobiles.

4 LITTLE TAk
WITH MARIE CORRELLI.
THE BEAUTIFUL VENETIAN ENG
LISH GIRL TELLS OF HER SUR
ROUNDINGs IN sTRATFORD.

Marie Correlli has been living In the
old home Of Shakespeare, spending the
winter in the haunts frequented by the
Bard OF Avon 1t is said that she is
preparing a tale of the days of Shakes
peare, but of that she will say little as
yet.
Correlli, as you may know, is n of
the prettiest of living writer's She has
sunny hair, blue eyes and a very fair
skin. Her teeth are veritable poets
pearls.
Marie is an Italian, but of the Vene-
tian type, which is always very fair.
Writing on the birthday of Shakes
peare to some friends, she said;
Cool and cloudy spring weather ush-
cred in the day of days, the birthday
and deathday of the greatest poet in
the world The silver-toned bells of
Holy Trinity Church began to ring at
sunrise, reminding us all that in this
very town, s. quaint, so quiet, so de-
%lightfully removed from the modern
Ef
rush and crush of our latter-day socie-
ty, was born, 366 years ago, England's
supreme genius.
Here, amid the simplest, sweetest
associations, was passed the childhood
and boyhood of Shakespeare, whose
invincible name will keep England
great when all her %conquering and
commercial glory shall have passed
away in the deep time-distances to
come. One could draw many pictures.
Here he, like his own Prospero, when
the dim hour clothed in black drew
near, broke his magic wand and set the
delicate Ariel of his imagination free.
And in these days of materialism
and prose it is an inspiring sight to
see the good folk of Stratford setting
aside other business to pay homage to
the memory Of their famous townsman,
forgetting themselves in their daily
cares in solemn reverence to the life
that all the muses. endowed with gifts
of grace.

all over town. The scent of hyacinths,

and the dreadful bears, when Cousin
Sammie's voice fell to a sepulchral
whisper, as he told the old fairy tale.
He was quite willing to convert him
self into a four legged animal-some~
times a camel, often an elephant, Of
tener a horse, according to her graz
cious pleasure-that she might ride
around the parlor on his back. The
first cloud upon her juvenile happiness
was his mhstache.
You look old, now, like papa" she
said, regretfully, and SO. great was her
that she lever found courage to
ask him to be a horse or a camel again.
