affected was received with gravity by
those who have been keeping in close
touch with the chief executives CON
dition since his return to this city.
While assurances at the white
house are Ct character to allay
alarm, the attempt at cheerfulness
cannot hide the evident fear Of unrest
over the knowledge that has just been
disclosed. The extent to which the
bone has been affected will not be
made public, and though the bulletin
announces hope, there are surgeons
of standing in the city that say the
limb may have to be amputated.
They figure that inasmuch as the
presidents injury produced almost one
month ago and had not received med
ical attention for three weeks of that
time, the poison which now for the
first time is shown to exist, may have
reached such headway that amputa-
tiOn is the only solution
The next few days will show how
far the poison has entered the presi-
dents leg. At late hour tonight

telyou was that the president was

There is an active demand for canned
goods from all parts of the country, and
in consequence the market is strong and

Lonely my heart till beating by Thine

GOOD CHEER AND LONGEVITY.


1t is generally the case that cheer
iul people are rewarded with long life.
Commonplace though this sounds,
there is no truth more commonly
ignored in actual every day existence.
Most persons will declare that If a
man is not naturally cheerful he can
not make himself so. Yet this is far
from being the case, and there is
many a man who is at present a
weary burden to his relative miser
able through the carking care of some
worldly misfortune, who, If he h,o
grown up into the idea uat to be
cheerful under all circumstances was
one of the first duties of life might
still see a pleasant enough woitl
around him. Thackeray truly ~.
marked that the world is for each of
us much as we show ourselves to
the world. If we face 1t with a cheer
resignation, we find the world fairly
full of cheerful people glad t. see us
II we snarl at it and abuse 1t, we m ~
be sure of abuse in return. The H.
ritability of a morose person may
shorten his days, and the general in
justice of natures arrangement pro-
vides that his early departure should
entail no long regrets. On Che other
hand, the man who can laugh keeps
his health and his friends are glad
to keep him. To the perfectly healthy
laughter comes often. Too commonly
though, as childhood is left bel,ind. the
habit fails, and a half-smile is the
best that visits the thought-lined
mouth OF modern man or woman.
People become more and more burden
ed with the increasing responsibilities
Of life; but they should still spare
Tine to laugh. Let them never for
get moreover, and let it be medi-
,al mans practice to remind them,
that smile sits ever secure upon the
face of Wisdom.-New York Weekly,

There is fruit, sometimes, which
looks finely, but which has lost its
flavor Size has destroyed tenderness.
Wise housekeepers have learned in
their marketing that the biggest APP

very rich for its own sake or for the
sake OF my future, there is a grave
danger of making a failure after all.

Bag Punching
Art..o


Suspend the bag on a level with the
shoulders aud strike straight out from
the shoulder. This stroke brings into
play a greater number of muscles than
any other, tends to expand the chest
and gives a good poise TO the neck.
Always hit the bag. If possible, tritie
above the center and this will prevent
a rebound and bruised nose. This
viii be best understood with practice.
Ten minutes a day is long enough for
the average woman, but twenty min
I.es will be better II she wants TO re-
duce weight rapidly. Punch the bag
twenty-five times with the right arm
swing, rest moment and then try
twenty-five strokes with the left hand.
Strike with the greatest regularity pos
sible. Then alternate one punch with
the right and another with the lef.
But keep at 1t. Don't exercise an hour
one day and then forget all about II
for a week. There are fancy strokes,
and these may be learned in time, as,
for instance. punching the bag with the
right elbow. alternating with punches
from Ine leII HSL, anu vice versa IN
other, little more difficult, is the ell
bow punch with alternating upper arm
and under arm thrusts with the fists.
Still other combinations will suggest
themselves. Gradually the punches
can be made faster and faster till the
bag will beat regular tattoo on the
top of the framework overhead. Prac-
tice only makes perfect in bag punch
ing and practiced puncher enjoys the
exercise thoroughly. 1t is very differ
ent from handling dumbbells, which,
to most folks, is a stupid business at
best. Bag punching is eXhilarating. 1t
is almost like having an antagonist
keeping the puncher constantly on the
alert.-New ork Sun.
