How TO GO UPSTAIRS The worng
way to go upstairs, according to a
physical culture teacher il to lean
over, contract the chest, hoop the
shoulders and bend the whole body
forward from the waist. The person
who goes upstairs in this way will be
exhausted at the top of even a short
fight. Yet stair climbing properly
done is considered a good exercise.
The head should be erect, the chest
expanded, the shoulders back, with
no bend whatever of the body at the
waist. With this poise put the w1ole
weight on the ball of the foot, and do
not touch the step with the heel and
note the springiness felt at every foot
tall. The same is true in climbing
a hill. One makes the ascent much
easier when walking erect as then the
heart and lungs can be kept in full
action. 80.

it "tough" to even reach the court

NOT ON THE PLAYBlLL.
A Little Comedy That Was Enacted
Behind the Scenes.

In French theaters the doctor of
the theater has seat given him
for every performance. He must
be there each evening. A well
known writer, NJ. B., says that when
he was a young man a friend, the
doctor of a certain theater, gave
him his seat. Just as he was be-
coming interested in the first act
the stage manager rushed up. The
heroine had a nervous attack and
required medical aid.
In the lady's dressing room he
found the manager, with anguish
depicted on every feature, and the
lady wringing her hands and Shrek
ing:
'Now, doctor, quickl What's to
be done?"
He took the lady's hand in a wild
attempt to feel her pulse. She
shrieked more than ever and with
ed like snake.
'Have you poured any water on
her head ?" he asked.

"And no effect?"
''None."
''Then give her sniff of eau de
cologne"
Haven't any," was the answer.

Off rushed the manager and the
stage manager together, and B. was
left with the patient.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and
smiled.

By this time the manager and
stage manager came back, each with
a bottle of eau de cologne. He told
them the lady was quite composed
and could appear without any dan
ger; but she must have a few days
rest. They made wry faces, but
granted the holiday.-London Quill.

NICKELS AND CENTS.
Their Use Greatly Increased by Slot Ma
chines-MiIIions Disappear.

Their Use Greatly Increased by Slot Ma
chines-MilIions Disappear.
The United States Treasury during
the fiscal year which has just ended
manufactured 79,611, 143 cents and
26, 480,213 nickels. Massachusetts
took 100000 cents, Pennsylvania
100000, Illinois 100000 and
New York State nearly 100000.
These are the great cent using states
and stand in the same order as to
consumption of nickels.
Ten years ago pennies were little
used in California and the South, and
were unknown things in Nevada, Wy
oming and Arizona. Up-to- date
Uncle Sam has turned out 1 100000
900 cents, 340,000,000 nickels, 10O,-
100000 dimes, 200, 100000 quarters
and 150,000,000 half-dollars.
Somewhere in the world are 49,
100000 big copper pennies. What
has become of them is mystery, for,
barring few in the hands of collect
ors, they have disappeared, no one
knows where.
Many years ago the government
issued 100000 bronze two-cent
pieces, and Of those over 100000
are still outstanding The same is
true of the nickel three-cent pieces, OF
which nearly 100000 are unac.
counted for.
Slot machines have greatly in.
creased the demand for coppers and
so also have the penny newspapers
and the odd prices made popular in
dry goods shops.
Cents and nickels wear out pretty
rapidly because they are passing con-
stantly from hand to hand, and the
immense numbers of them that pour
into the Treasury at Washington are
carefully sorted over for the purpose
of sorting out those which are too
much damaged to be fit for further
use. The life of a cent is only four or
five years.
Cents are subject to more accidents
than any other coins. Being of such
small value, little care is taken OF
them, and that is why the Treasury
mas TO go on turning out new ones at
the rate of 60, 900, 600, 100000
a year.
At the Treasury they say that the
cent is the barometer of business con-
ditions. A heavy storm or a sudden
coming OF cold weather-anything, in
short that keeps the penny-spendine
part of the population at homes
accurately ref cted in the falling off
of the cents coming to the Sub, Treas
uries tor exchange. During periods
of dullness cents Accumulate at SUI
Treasures, but when trade revives
they begin to circulate rapidly again.
Anybody who wants cents may get
them by sending a check to Superin
tendent of the Mint, who will ship
them at the expense of the Govern
ment.-NeW York Sun.

1t is not uncommon for Japa-
nese girl to bear the name of a
flower. On the other hand, howev-
er, many girls in Japan bear the
names of some domestic utensil, as
frying pan or dustbrush. Doubt
less this results from the custom
common among some people of
naming a child from the first object
that strikes the eye after the little
one has come into the world.

New York. March 21.-The above
picture is one of Ralph Earle Samp-
son. the eldest son of Admiral Samp-
son, who was appointed to a cadet
ship at the Annapolis Naval Academy
by President Roosevelt on March A..
The picture was taken on the flag
ship New York, July 8, 1899, the day
banquet was rendered the Admiral
at Newport by officers of the navy.
Young Sampson had been making
believe to fire cannon and parading
around the deck of the flagship with
Pitch, the ships mascot. when he
came across a photographer on the af-
ter deck. The lad prevailed upon the
photographer to take a snapshot Of
himself and Pitch. Several jack tars
assisted in posing them. A field piece
was drawn in front of the after turret
and young Sampson was placed along
side. With a piece of rope the young
sailor succeeded in getting Pitch in q
good pose and held him there until
the picture was taken.
The youngster is said to be as famil-
lar with the various parts of a battle
ship as any jack tar. His delight was
to parade around in his sailors uni
form, which his father had made spe-
cially for him. The first time the
youngster went to school he rose

disclosed career that is likely to at
tract much attention.
Known to the police as bank rob.
Der, says the Tribune, and pardoneu
convict, as well as being suspect IN

berry, of last October. Hopkins has
lived in the quiet country village OF

tion for charity and good works.
He contributed literally to the sup
port of the Union Evangelical church

GUS when appeals were made in be-
half of the poor.
The Tribune says that the first inti-
nation that Hopkins was mixed up
with the postotfice robbery case came
from his assailant, who is alleged to
have told the police 'he was wanted"
for the stamp robbery.
Col James Stewart, chief postotfice
inspector, while reticenu when asked

Sleeping Man and Wlie Slain by a Negro.

knife or razor wounds inflicted by
Mathew Alexander, colored man, who
has been employed about the house for
five years. Alexander entered the room
in which Mrs. Burke was sleeping with
her sixteen-year-old daughter ut mid.
night. Her husband lay asleep on q
couch on the other side of the room.
Mrs. Burke was awakened by feeling the
keen edge of q sharp instrument drawn
across her cheek, and her screame
aroused her husband. Burke rushed to
the rescue of his wife, but he was only
partially awake when he was slashed
across the neck and face by the negro.
When Burke fell dying upon the floor the
negro rushed out q side door, but at
tempted to re-enter the room after the
door had been bolted by Mrs. Burke.
Burke died almost instantly. No cause
is known for the tragedy, as Alexander
had been we'll treated and trusted by the
family. He is said to have become q
slave to the cocaine habit recently, and
he may have been under the influence OF
the drug. If the negro is caught he will
be lynched.

Over Four Hundred Poisoned-Thirty Dead.

San Antonio, Texas, September T.
Reliable information has reached here of
trouble and destruction of life at Mapimi,
Mexico, by the breaking forth of arsenic
springs in the mountains near the city,
The waters of the springs have united
with those of the springs which supply
the city with drinking water, and the dis
tributing reservoir is thoroughly impreg-
mated with arsenic. AS result, thirty
are dead and over four hundred are seri-
ously i'll. Those nearest the reservoir
seemed to get the full benefit of the
deadly poison and lived only a short
time. This Is the first information Off
cially received of the matter and it was
some time before the correct source of
the poison was ascertained. By that
time, hundreds were i'll all over the city,
as II the place was stricken by plague,
and physicians were wired for from ali
the surrounding mining camps and
towns. Even when the source of poison
Ing was discovered, some time was re-
quired to ascertain the exact cause, such
thing as natural spring arsenic was
never dreamed of before. The citizens
are now suffering for want of water.
