comedies the election of Seth Low,
Fusion candidate for mayor. He said
he was much disappointed at the
Brooklyn vote, as he had expected
Mr.. Shepard to make good showing
! there, it being his home borough. AS
to the causes for the defeat of the
Democratic ticket, Mr.. Croker said he
was inclined to ascribe it to the large
| silent vote. and the fact that the peo-
pie sometimes feel that they want

A BUILDING CEMENT.
A VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY

Thomas 4. Edison has discovered

thought. seems To be comparatively I'M
important Vet Edison knows the i'm

poets that his cement will drive out
quarried stone and brick as building
materials. He foresces as the result OF
his discovery that II will cost very
little To build houses, and that there
fore rents will be very low. lie also
forcsces that these same houses viii he
as nearly rrcproof az concrete and
steel frames can make them.

The inventor said that one part of

parts of broken stone would be the
mixture for concrete, and that broken
stone was better than brick. In reply
to- question as to the thickness oi

has been sitting in Edinburgh, and has
disposed of much legislation relating
to towns, harbors and railways. Be
fore the new act came into force, every
private bill from north of the Tweed
had to go to London to be considered
by a committee Of parliament, and a

ART OF WALKING.
Common Sense Footwear Makes Good
Pedestrian Of American GirI.


The American girl is learning how
10 walk. For many years she has been
a martyr to French high heeled shoes,
the toothpiCk toe and the wafer sole,
but now common sense footwear is the
vogue. 1t took long period Of dis
comfort, If not actual suffering, to con-
vince woman that she could wear a
sensible shoe and not detraCt from her
personal charms, comments the Cincin-
natl Commercial-Tribu Now that
she has been convinced of the error Of
her ways more interest is manifested
In the correct style of walking and the
proper manner of holding the skirt.
In correct walking there is the poetry
OF motion, the delicacy OF poise and the
scientific adjustment of the weight OF
the body which the ancients knew so
well, but which the moderns sur, IL
they do not absolutely ignore. The
girl who walks correctly is Joy to
herself and all who behold her She
has some purpose in life. She is, nine
times out of ten, neatly dressed
bright-eyed and healthy. Watch her
and you will see that the ball of her
foot Is the center upon which the
weight OF the body swings; and that
upon the heel and the toes there is
an even balance Of the strain, il such
II may be called. the heel not being
called upon to do more than the toes
or the toes more than the heel, while
the sole is the medium between the
two extremes. In correct walking the
foot is placed evenly upon the surface
with the pressure first upon the heel
then upon the ball of the foot. and
then upon the toes. From the ball OF
the foot, and the toes the impetus and
elasticity of the stride originate.

full If any rank higher in the Land
Of the Odd" than the traffic carried on
by an enterprising Yankee in New

trunks and travelling bags that have

labels of foreign hotels. A man go

can on his return get twice what he
paid for his bag or trunk at starting.

name "Atlsntica Romanza." Specially
cheap passages are to be arranged for
