WHY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have More Leisure Time Than Men and
 Naturally Think Over Things.

From time immemorial women have been told-by women, as we'll as men, though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gray among their tresses. These warnings do lit tie good. The fair creatures go on worrying and will probably continue to do so until the millennium comes. Why this is so is answered in this way: The question of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wom- en are so hedged about by the little- ness of their protected lives-for it is the protected woman who does the most worrying-that it is hard to see beyond and above sometimes, and mat GUS. IF women had the capacity with men of getting up and doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels thai he has it within him (since money making is his business) to make suffi- cient money to pay his debts-some time. Women look at it more prac- tically, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the time. Let him become il, though, and have to stop his work, and how is it with him? Man doesn't worry about the future--he is so madly interested in the present; nor about his clothes, for the tailor stands between him and that; nor about home matters-they, from his point Of view, are too trivial until he comes home to badly cook ed dinner, and then in his broad out look there is no excuse for this state of things, for in business, if an em- pIoye does not do his work properly, his employer gets some one who can. a method that will yet come to be a powerful lever in the leveling of wom- eu's worries.-Detroit Free Press.

ToRoooANING IN CANADA.
A Winter sport That Is Greatly En-
 ioyed by All Glasses.


 Tobogganing is one of the staple amusements in Canada. Sportsmen are not content with the naturally formed "chutes'' down the side of 3 nlll but construct artificial slides. These are generally wooden erections with the planes fixed at an angle of 45 de- grees. and with a sheer drop of about 100 feet. Water is poured over the wooded declivity, which in the frosty air is soon transformed into ice. with a surface as slippery as glass. When the bottom of the chute is reached the track extends over fields in as straight a direction as possible, though in some eases not particularly level, but the momentum gained by the toboggan m flying down the chute is sufficient to carry it over any slight uprisings in the ground. The Canadian tohoggan IS a light, strong article, about five or SIX feet in length, and about 20 inches in width. composed of a number Of mar row wooden strips secured long1tudl- nally together, curling upward at the front handrai1 sometimes extends along each side of the toboggan to en- able the passengers to hold on, but the general rule is for one passenger to clasp the person seated next in front, the whole row Of travellers being thus linked together for their rapid flight. In some cases there are five or six oc- cupants in one toboggan, and with such a combined weight the sledge files down the chute as if impelled from cannon. Both men and women enter into the sport with great gusto, for the fun is fast and furious. When there is only one traveller to the toboggan he lies rrone upon it, and in this manner, on account of the small amount of re- sistance that is offered by the atmos- phere, the maximum Of speed is gained. The chutes are properly controlled in order to avoid accidents. One tobog- gan is not permitted to leave the sum- nit of the chute until the preceding one has cleared the bottom of the slide. Occasionally. by some mischance in- cured through faulty, manipulation of the teboggan. a @spil1 occurs on the chute,and if a following toboggan were to dash into the overturned vessel the result would be relatively quite as dis astrous and terrible as collision be- tween express trains

Sitting Erect.

Very many persons, in taking a seat, use the edge of 1t only, with the result that in very short time they seem to be doubling up, the head bending forward over the chest. The easiest method of sitting erect, and in grace ful position, is to occupy the chair in such way that the lowest part of the spine or backbone touches the back of the seat; then, by causing the shoul- ders also to touch the back, the whole body is erect and maintains itself. not only without an effort, but with a feel ing of support. relief and rest, and that, too, without any appreciable ef- fort Any position maintained by the aid of a brace is forced, and is secured by an injury done to some other part. which not only has to support itself but aid in supporting parts not intend ed, hence must in time itself need aid from other sources, and thus the mis- chief goes on.

A COAT WHICH CREW.
Story of Clever Prisoners Plan for
 Escape.


 Green Casey, convict at San Quen- tin, has won the admiration of all his fellow convicts at the prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in order to make his escape from the pris. on walls some time ago, and through Sheriff Langdon of Santa Clara county. the story has leaked out, says the Sah Francisco Call. Casey was kind of trusty around the prison grounds, and while working in one of the grounds in the vicinity of the prison he took it into his head that he would like to es- cape, and was beginning to tax his mind as to the most advantageous way to suit his purpose. As he was stroll ing around on the green grass which grows in abundance around the prison, an idea struck him that if he could initiate the grass by some means he could elude the Watehful sentries and make good his escape Through the aid of his convict friends he procured some pieces of hurlap, and with the aid of some rope made them into long coat that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se- cured some wheat from the prison stable and sowed it down carelessly at one end of the prison grounds, and watered it daily. In few weeks the grass grew up through the sack coat and before a great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out his plans, and patiently waited an op- portunity At last he succeeded in get ting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison, and in few minutes was under his grassy coat. Slowly he crept along with the clever ness of worm, and from all appear ances success would crown his efforts. But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in his direction. The moving grass plat, which was slowly making it's way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill as the eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investigate the phenomenon. A kick in the ribs apprised Casey that his plan had been discovered. The guard took Casey. and red shirt now covers his breast.
