How to BE Thin and Graceful

The fair maids of Gotham are trying
10 become like sylphs, slender, grace
ful and beautiful. The first two at
tributes are easily secured. While diet
ing is the secret of slenderness, it is
by no means necessary. for the woman
who will exercise can work off her SUI
perfuOus fat and acquire grace while
doing so. 1t is absolutely necessary to
exercise in undreSs. The maids and
matrOns of Gotham have adopted a
simple little uniform consisting OF
baggy boomers and loose blouse. says
the Buffalo Times Dressed in this they
performing their exercises night and
morning. They practice standing on
both feet with abdomen drawn In and
bust extended; they also practice the
correct walk, with chin elevated. A
horizontal bar is by no means neces-
sary, but it is inexpensive and very
useful as an exerciser. After little
practice it is easy to swing by the
hands from the bar and in a short
time the more athletic of the fair ath-
letes are able to swing round and
round.

ASKS MUCH OF MODERN WOMEN
"Cnrmen SYLVIA Says If They Go Into
Athletics They Must Not Sacrt-
fee GentIer Qualities.

Carmen Sylvia" (queen of Rou-
mania) discussing the subject of wom-
an and athletics, writes:
Il would allow all modern sports to
woman If she remains gracious and
sympathetic, like Sakountala; if she
succors the unhappy, like st. Gene
We've; If she composes music, like St.
Cecilia; if she spins, like Queen Bes-
tha; If she weaves, like Penelope; if she
embroiders, like the ancient Rouma-
nian Princess; If she cares for the
wounded, like Florence Nightingale;
if she makes verses, like Margaret Of
Navarro and Empress Elizabeth Of
Austria.
"As for courage in women, I don't
think there is any need to recall Joan
of Arc or the daughter of the Darim
king who used her arm in place of a
bolt across the door which barred the
Last retreat of her father, Decobal. or
the martyrs, or the mothers. The cour-
age Of woman has been proved; she
is in no need of sports to convince the
world of it.
IF sports give rise to any dispute
tude within me it is. because I fear to
see chivalrous man slain by a modern
amazon"

GIFTS TO EXPOSITION SCHOOL.
Of the Total 81, 1000 Haa Been Sub
scribcd by Four New
Workers.

Sir Robert Pullar, the greet dyer Of
Perth, has just given the internation-
al exposition school E 1900 to be en-
ployed in supporting British scholar
ships. The managers Of the American
group announce that 81 900 has been
subscribed by four New Yorkers-R.
Fulton Cutting. William E. Dodge,
Isaac NJ. SeIgman and Robert S. Og-
den-which probably will be expend-
ed in aid Of American school teachers
coming for the most part from the
west. The need of more subscriptions
of this sort is emphasized. Among the
recent additions to the American
teaching staff are Prof. B1ackman, of
Yale; Dr.. Cummings, of Harvard;
Prof. Bickmore, Of the New York mu-
scum of natural history, and Prof.
N. P. Gilman, of Meadville theological
seminary. Miss Jane Addams lectured
the other day before the school.
Perhaps the most important school
exhibits in the whole exposi ton are
those Of NJ Schneider's great iron
manufactory at Creusot.: An immense
structure is filed with the largest
guns, with handsome models of via
ducts, bridges and machinery in mo-
ton. The official opening this even
ing, in the presence Of NJ. Millerand
and several hundred distinguished
guests, is heralded as a powerful tri-
umph Of French industry.

AUTOCARs TO REPLACE BUSES
an Up-to-Date System in
Chicago.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad COM
pany has announced its intention Of es-
tablishing an electric automobile cab
service in Chicago for the accommoda-
ton Of passengers to and from the
Grand Central station at Harrison
street and Fifth avenue
The automobiles are Of the latest
electric pattern and are noiseless in
regard to machinery and running gear.
They will carry the name of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad and will be in
charge of experienced uniformed mo-
tormen.
It has been arranged that passengers
on incoming trains can place their or
ders for cabs with the train porters
before arriving in Chicago, and these
orders will be telegraphed ahead. thus
insuring satisfactory service. For OUT
going passengers orders will be taken
at the Baltimore G. Ohio ticket Of
fee.
This service is an innovation in Chi
cago and is in harmony with a similar
service which the Baltimore & Ohio re-
Gently established in Washington and

much success and has become a popu-
lar feature with through passengers

PLAY WITH DEAD MEMS BONES
st. Louis Boys Hold Weird Games OF
Shiny Near Old Gene

Two boys in the neighborhood
bounded by Broadway, Park avenue
and Seventh and Rutger streets, St..
Louis, are enjoying themselves during
the school vacation season with Gu
rious playthings. Skinny" is their
faVorite pastime and the instruments
they employ in the game are portions
of the decomposed ana tonnes Of what
were once, qerchance, their ancestors.
A blackened, grinning skull serves for
the ball and q grisly thigh bone or
upper bone Of the arm for a driving
stick. The playthings OF the boys Of
the neighborhood are the relics Of
past and almost forgotten generations
of people whose bodies were buried
in the old St. Joseph convent ceme-
terry, which more than half century
ago occupied a plot of ground adjoin-
ing the St. Joseph convent, in what Is
now Ninth and Rutger streets.

FINDS SKULL OF MAMMOTH.
The Important Discovery Is Made by
BENJAMIN Griffin in
California;.

Benjamin Griffin, of San Francisco,
has found in a bed of creek near
Half Moon Bay, CAL, the head of
full-grown mammoth. Portions of the
tusks foot in length still remain at
tached to the skull, and are about six
inches in diameter where they pro-
trude from the bone. The skull is
about five feet in length
Griffin says he found the femoral
bone of the mammoth several years
ago about two miles above where the
new discovery was made, and it is now
in the Academy of Science of San Fran
cisco. Teeth and fragments of bone
have been found in the same locality
at different times.
The value of this find is enhanced by
the fact that it is the first Of the kind
ever made in the state, and it will tend
to refute the theory that mammoths
did not range over California.

profession or accomplishment to which
she devotes herself. Anyway, she is not
idle, says the Macon Telegraph. She

Iy Records the Message in the Alb

Ernest Kun berg has invented an i'm

It is an ingenious combination of the
phonograph and telephone, with a
cylindrical attachment, which greatly
magnifies the sound of the voice and
produces deep impression on wax.
When the man who is called up is
at hand he may tad Sc his message
without recording it phonographical-
ly, or he may decide, if it is an impor-
tant matter, to secure an impression
for future reference.
If he is out the machine will record
the message on its own responsibility,
and will reply courteously that its
owner has just popped out and that
it will be glad to receive the message
and hold it until its master returns.

CLAIM TO FIND IsTHMIAN WAY
Canal Discovered In
NicaFaxua.

At last tide-water-level route for
canal across the Isthmus of Panama
has been discovered and the Nicara-
qua canal is now most BILE en-
gineering possibility. The discovery
was made by the United States 18th
mian canal commission. which has
about completed its work Of surveying
and will soon return to this country to
present its report to congress.
The first inkling Of the work OF the
commission comes in letter from Dr..
George F. Wyckes, government surgeon
with the canal commission, to friend
in Bellefonte. Pa. Or. Wycke writes
from Lasardi, Caledonia bay, and in
part says:
Here at Lasar6 we have found what
we all have vainly sought for weeks
and weeks-a practical route for a tide
water-level canal Every time that the
discovery of low gap sent our hopes
soaring little more work would lead
us on to the long high plateau of the
Pacific slope, so wide that no country
could afford to pay for the stupendous
engineering feat of cutting canal
through it, and our golden bubble
would burst. But at last we have found
a gap 500 feet high, little too high,
perhaps, but not beyond the science of
modern engineering, and when tell
this every fact against the route has
been enumerated.
