Running up stairs when mamma
wants something is first-class exercise
and running down stairs is almost as
good. Interesting diversions will be
found in egg-beating, and ice cream
freezing. Dusting ought to have
chapter by itself. First, you are
down on all fours: then you are on
tiptoe, seeing how far the duster will
reach. This tiptoeing, with its
ankle development, is superb! But
that isn't all You twist yourself
into all sorts of positions to get at
the corners of the carved furniture.
First you are on one knee, and then
on the other. Every muscle. every
tendon is brought into service before
you are through. Even this mag
nificent exercise can be overdone,
but you will make no mistake if you
only dust every room after you have
swept it-although most housekeepers
dust oftener. Cynthia Westover AL

BIRDS AND TREES.

In some parts Of the country they
have what they call Bird Day, which
is celebrated by the schoolchildren at
least. Why keep any other bird day
than Arbor Day? He who plants a
tree plants also bird, or rather an
endless succession of BIRDS Wher-
ever there are trees there will be
birds. AS the pioneer has pushed his
tree-claim, his windbreak and his
home grove further and further out
upon the barren plains, the birds
have followed him. Every new
patch of green that appears on the
waste Of the prairie is espied by
some tiny eye hurrying northward,
high in air, in the spring, and be-
comes the birthplace of some little
brood that might never have seen the
light had it not been there, and
certainly would not in that place.
Even the station agents house on
the western railroads, where the
VI uSUcIS VI UOAClucIS UlldU UIle COlIl-
pany has set out are the only green
thing in the landscape, furnishes a
nesting place for sparrows. who, like
the tramps they are, follow the rail
road. mo one can doubt that the
bird population of the west has in
creased enormously in the last half
century; at least as rapidly as has the
human population. You never find
tree. an orchard or a hedge that
has not it's nest or collection Of nests.
The birds need 10 fostering; pro-
vide the trees, and heaven will send
the BIRDS The thing some people
notice the most in coming from the
city to a town in grove, like Ne
braska City, is the constant variety
of bird songs that are heard from all
quarters all day long.

CULTURE IN HELPING MOTHER.

America still has several million
girls who find large part of their
physical culture in helping mamma,
and are not blushing because Of the
fact. For such girls, the vista of
possibilities is long and alluring.
For arms, fiugers and wrists, wash
ing and wiping dishes will be found
admirable. One is as good as the
other. Perhaps the water aids in
giving suppleness to tho joints of the
fingers That is an advantage wash
ing dishes has over wiping them.
However, there is surely fine elbow
movement in the wiping
Bed making, as it is still taught in
the homely physical culture acade-
mics. of Yankee farm houses, cannot
be too highly recommended. With
the folding Of every oounterpane,
blanket and sheet, the arms are
stretched as far apart as they will
60, each hand holding one end.
Then. standing perfectly erect, the
chest is thrown out Quickly the
hands are brought together again,
presto the sheet is folded double!
Shoulders, body and limbs are all
developed by the mattress turning.
The eye and sense of symmetry learn
much from the regular arrangement
of counterpane and pillows. Of
course, this exercise ought not to be
carried too far.
Sweeping gives much the same
motion, without the jerkiness of
golfing strokes. For the graceful
perfection of arms and shoulders, so
much desired by every ambitious
girl, nothing could be better. I do
not advise excess in this recreation.
But there will be nothing harmful if
you only sweep each room in the
house once a week.
Floor scrubbing, like lawn tennis,
IS rather violent, and not to be tried
unless you are sure about your heart.
At first, it will be almost as severe
on the knees as rowing in shell ;

ADVICE TO SOLDIERS.

bullets than by disease and accident
Realizing this, the war department.,
by order of the President, has issued
the following order, which it is
hoped will convince the careless
soldier of the error Of his way, and
might be read with profit by youths
who are not soldiers:
"By direction Of the President, the
attention Of the officers and enlist ed
men of the Army, especially of those
serving in the tropics and away from
home, is called to the following facts :
'The only really efficient way III
which to control the diseases due to
immortality is to diminish the vice
which is the cause of these diseases
Excessive indulgence in strong drink
is absolutely certain to ruin any
man, physically and morally; while
disease due to licentiousness produces
effects which are quite as destruc-
tive and even more loathsome.
sit is the duty Of regimental and
particularly of company officers to
try by precept and example to point
out to the men under their control, and
particularly to the younger men, the
inevitable misery and disaster which
follow upon intemperance and upon
moral uncleanliness and vicious
living The officers should of course
remember always that the effect of
what they say must largely depend
upon the lives they themselves lead.
It is in the highest degree necessary
that each officer should be an ex-
ample to his men in the way of tenn
perate and cleanly living. He should
point out; using the utmost tact,
discretion, and good sense, to the
men that disease is almost sure to
follow licentious living; that it is
never trivial affair, and that it is
criminal folly to believe that indul-
gence is necessary to health. Expert
ence shows that in a majority of
cases diseases are confined to COM
paratively narrow circle of men who
are admitted to the army hospitals
again and again. These men always
seriously impair their own efficiency
as soldiers and sometimes utterly
destroy it, and they throw upon their
self-respecting comrades the burden
Of performing all of the duties which
they have untitled themselves to
perform. The officers should strive to
teach their men self control to show
them that morality and efficiency in
the life of soldier as in civil life
go hand in hand. Idleness during
the hours when there are no military
duties to perform and the lack
of healthful amusement and
occupation are provocative of de-
