TO ACQUIRE ADIPosE TISSUE.
If Any There Be That Wish to Gain
 Flesh Now Let Them Consider

Ledger Monthly:
 1t is q logical deduction that the foods from which the fieshy person must abstain are the ones which are
 beneficial to the thin ones. An author I ity gives this regimen:
 If possible have O cup of cocoa or
 chocolate before rising. For your 1 breakfast have eggs, poached or boiled, | outlets chops or steak cup of coffee and some fruit; but do not neglect the eggs.
 At dinner have soup. meat and fish, according to your taste; but be sure to have rice. ma .arroni. potatoes. cauli- flower. asparagus-in1 1eed, oil vescta- bles. Avoid acids. although salads are good.
 Choose desserts that are sweet, es- pecially those containing milk and | eggs. Grapes are said to be fattening, and sugar undoubtedly is. Do not take cold baths nor indulge 1 in very violent exercise. Sleep as much as possible. and do not allow yourself to be exceedingly interested in any
 thing which will cause you to worry. i Physicinns say that if this regimen is carefully carried out the thinnest
 woman may attain the desired plump

 | It will be seen that all foods con taining flour, starch. sugar or fat are advised. providing the digestion offers no bar. If the digestion of any Of these constituents Is accomplished with difficulty they are useless as fat
 tening agents. for they fan to pc prop e,Iy assimilated. Happily the list of CeSh- producing foods is long enough to allow liberal choice in the matter. All food should be slowly masticAted in order to be easily digested. Care and grief should be allowed no place at the table. Condiments and highly spiced sauces should be avoided. A merry laugh is superior to pepsin tab

ENACTED STRANGE oATHs.
Marriage Ceremony as Performed by
 a Montana Magistrate.

New York Tribune:
 George Hazel of Helena, Mant. in speaking of the formerly great intiu- cnce welded by the Justices Ot the Peace on the frontier. tod the folio" - ing story:
 "In the prostate day of Montana the Justices of the Peace reigled supreme in the land. They joined men and women i'll life. buried them in death. were general peacemakers in the com munity at large, and judges of dOs fights Their position in Western communities were uniqIe, and the stories that have been told about them have been innumerable. One of the most peculiar characters 10 be found in Washing ton. however, was one Reed, J, F.. who ruled over the town of Bel kuap, Mont. since deceased. in the early 76's.
 He performed at Belknap in the winter of 1878 marriage ceremony that is classic in Western annals. He made the bride swear that she would support the Constitution of the United States and the organized acts of the Territory of Montana; that she would be ever loving, faithful and true. and would be ever willing to defend-with her life if necessary-the honor of her God, her country and her flag. The bridegroom was compelled to swear that he would split the wood, carry the water, shovel the snow build the Ire. and. under any and all circumstances. try to be a perfect gentleman. Instead of return ing her devotion with slurs and scowls he would repay it with kisses and with kind words. If he ran shy of kisses he was to call on the Justice of the Peace, who was long on kisses, but short on girls. Reed wound up this

THROUGH GERMAN GARnENs.
No Land Runs to Waste, and Fields
 Look Like Bed auilts.

Farm Journal:
 North Germany is a low and level plain, bearing the strongest possiple outward resemblance to patchwork
 bed quilt of the old fashioned log eaein pattern.
 The land is cut into patches no larger than our garden plots. Patches mostly rectangular shaped, but some to meet the eigencies of the ground. are curves. squares. half squares, wedges. and oyals Not a fence or boundary
 line is anywhere seen.
 The freshly quilted colors of these little fields, green. brown and yellow, according to the tint of the crops ana | the foliage alone. give diversity 10 the placid scene for solidity. regularity ana | the auintescence of stiffness stamps i everything German.
 l Clearly outlined against the horizon. l picturesquing the otherwise monoton- I ous landscape, are countless Wlndmilis whose Jagged arms seem forever beck oning to you frantically as you speed eyong
 There is however. no such thing in Germany as out in the country in our sense of the term. The dense pop ulation is all either gathered into the cities that stand in astonishtngly close proximity. or into the little peasant
  | usually about two miles apart, ana looking brown and tempting like waspS nests.
 Absolutely no land runs to waste in l Germany. Every foot of soil Is grain
 sowed or planted to vegetable or to flowers. One crop is DO sooner re- l moved than the ground Is again piowed
 and made ready for the next crop. | The ground looks as light and loamy
 as if it had been shaken through a sieve or gone over with coarse comb. Yet these smooth fields are mostly cultivated by yokes of clumsy oxen or single cows that draw their | loads by ropes and feathers attached to broad bands lashed in front. driven often by women.
 German farming implements are all far inferior to ours. The seythe is a straight stick with two subhandles at | taches, The general fork and rake combined is wooden and clumsy. with
 three tines and wide apart. Farming | utensils are very costly. too. in Ger l many.
 No rugged scars of gashed earth are anywhere seen in Germany, but smooth

BoNI's FIRST DUEL.
Ann Gould'sI Husband Turned the Tables on Q Chap Who Guyed


 Tables on a Chap Who Guyed Vance Thompson in The Saturday
 Tvening Post;
 The other night at the Automobile Club l heard about Castelane's first duel. He had just come from school. Lada he was. he colud ride shoot and handle a sword; but he was still too young, very bashful, rather green. At the club to winch he had just been initiated some of the men whom life had made cynical. began to guy him. It was easy to stir up hts anger, for they chattered scandal about woman he knew. He pulled over the table and struck one of the men. The next day he received a challenge. In good faith he selected two club men as his sec onds. In all this the club fellows saw only a joke, and when the arrange ments were hurried on and the two op- ponents stood face to face in meadow near the Sein the pistols were loaded with blackened bread crumbs.
 "0ne, two three!" they fired together. the clubman gave great cry and Tell to the ground groanlng.
 He's fatally wounded-dying,' the seconds exclaimed, choking with laugh ter.
 De Castellane felt the heart in him sway like water; he had Killed man-it was not possible.
 "Dead?" he asked anxiously
 "Yes" said the corpse and sat up grinning. -.:s.
 The school boy looked at the laughing clubmen and saw the joke they had played on him. He stopped and caught the 'corpse" by the ankle, dragged ita bit, and with sudden jerk tossed 1t ten feet into the river. :+. ......
 Then I'll bury It," said he.
 As the clubman crawled from the river. dripping mud and water, they decided the joke was on him.

AMERICAS TALLEST CHIMNEY,
It is 365 Feet High and Cost More Than $50, ,0OO.

New York Sun:
 The tallest smokestack ever built in this country has just been completed at Constable Hook. ". J. It Is S6S feet above the ground and in height is ex- ceeded by a few others in the world. The stack is at the works of the or ford Copper Works. which are appo- site New Brighton. Staten Island, and residents of that place. and indeed of the whole shore of the island. have watched its erection with the greatest interest. as 1t has been designed with the idea of giving them a partial relief from she smoke nuisance of which Staten Islanders have been complain ing so vigorously.
 It was figured out by experts that If the smoke from the twenty-seven chimneys of the blast furnaces. con- taining a considerable percentage of sulphurous gas. could be carried up to sufficient height it would reach a strata that would take it over Staten Island or any other contiguous terri- tory far enough to permit the obnox- ious gases to become dissipated. h. sestigations were made at the copper works at Laurel Hill, Long Island, where there Is a stack 295 feet high, and for miles around no one. it was found. complained. Consequently a stack even higher than that at Laurel Hill was decided upon, which has cost something over $50,000.
 The construction of such a stack on the marshy ground at Constable Hook was a very difficult undertaking and involved great engineering problems. Only one firm in the world, the com pany believed, could do the job, and that was the Custodis Chimney Con struction Company. of Germany. They brought over their own men here who had experience in laying bricks at aiti- tudes even as great as 400 feet. The work was begun in November of last year. when a hole was dug 45 feet square and Is feet deep, reaching sew eral feet below the water leval. Over the entire bottom was driven piles as close as could be driven, and also az deep. In all about 800 piles were used. Then a layer of concrete went on toy of thbs. This part of the stack was 30 feet square for a height of 30 feet with hole Tn the center of 16 feet in diameter. leaving the wall at the nar- rowest part feet thick. On top of this cone was erected the chimney proper. of special redial brick with an outside diameter at the bottom of 30 feet and 1S feet at the top. The iu- side diameter is 16 feet at the bottoul and 10 feet at the top. The workmer worked on scaffolds on the inside. h the construction one of them fell tG the bottom and was killed.
 The top of this brick ahaft was reached last Saturday. and big Amer ican flag hoisted that looked at the bottom something like a handkerchief

lures of the night t-blooming cereus will be taken. except that the fiashlisht will not be used.
 The time of taking covers period of three hours. but the pictures are shown in a minute.
 In the electric tower pictures is shown the transition from daylight to dark. and then the illumination of the tower.
 The exposures necessary to show the electric lights were of course long, but they are all on one film, taken from one point of view, and. as the spectator watches the scene on the biograph screen he sees the tall tower in the bright light of day; the light falls rapidly and 1t is night. Now the nyriads of electric lights flash out. and the tower stands in all its brilliant grandeur after dark.
 Then there are the chickens hatch ing from the shell. There Is of course considerable time juggling here. The exact moment the first eggshell begins to crack the camera begins to snap pictures at the rate of 30 ger second, but every few seconds it rests for half an hour. Inside of six hours 27 little chickens broke through their shells.

 The barometer continues low over the extreme Northeast. giving shoWery condi- tions in that region; showers have also occurred in the Ohio Valley and the Mid de South. being heavy in Ohio aud Northeastern Texas and heavy to txcea- sive in Arkansas, these rains being due to the warm moist air moving from the south towards the depression over the Northeast and towards another over the Plateau Region and the overflow of ccld- CT air from comparatively high over the Middle West. giv1ng rapid coadensa- ton and causing the heavy rains men tioned above. The pressure continues about normal or slightly above 1ver the Southeast, and generally fair weather now obtains along the middle and South At lantic coast. in the cotton belt, and cen- tral and middle western districts.
