HOW TO CLIMB THE STAIRS.
Go Slowly, Tread on Ball Of Foot
Don't Lean Forward.

Those, stairs will be the death Of me
yet! You have heard the expression
Of such sentiment, II, indeed, you have
not felt the probability Of the same
unvoiced prophecy. .,..5..s
Girls complain to me Of backache,
and quickly say. You know have to
60 up and down stairs so much this
year." The flights to which they refer
are in town hall; the steps are high
and the flights are long-yet some can
climb them several times day and
not have grumbling back or any
other uncomfortable result. The se-
cret lies in the way they do it.
A girl is putting a severe strain on
her back when she goes up stairs
using heavy, fiat-footed tramp. She
is uncomfortable, the heavy step jars
her spine and head, and to make the
ordeal as short as possible she hurries,
and possibly runs. Naturally the body
demonstrates at such unjust treatment.
I have watched carefully the man.
ner which most people adopt, and
think you will agree that this is a
very common spectacle. One woman
frequently see ascending stairs leans
so far over that when she turns the
spiral she invariably puts her hands
on the upper stairs. 4
Try another way IL you W(Ent to feel
all the exhilaration and buoyancy OF
an excellent exercise. Keep the weight
well over the advanced foot, with the
chest the farthest point forward. To
strike only the ball Of the foot on the
stairs gives buoyancy of step to most
people, although some claim they can
place the whole foot lightly on the
stairs to good advantage.
Be sure and take your time. Re-
member you are. lifting the. weight Of
the body many times; ana 1t is no
light exercise.
The work the back has to do ought
to be no greater going up stairs cor
rectly than when on a level. The legs
are the members Of your bodily com-
munity which ought to perform that
service for you.
I have known medical authorities to
recommend walking up stairs correctly
as good exercise for reducing promi-
nent abdomen and relieving indiges.

The quarantine on the shipment of
cattle from Boston. which is the chief
live-meat shipping port in the country,
fills England with apprehensions Of a
beefiess Christmas. A great part of
the roast beef of old England" comes
from America and the present quar-
antine on account of the foot and
mouth disease will mean more to Eng
land than to this country. Already, in
authorization of a partial beef famine,
the price has gone up in the London
market. 1t IS interesting to note that
the hs.ef which brings the highest price
in the English market Is that imported
from America, the ugh 1t is sold to GUS

Schools and Teachers.

Efforts are being made to
establish another industrial school
for negroes, which will be located
at Corona, Ala, where thousand
negroes are employed in the coal
and iron company. twenty-five
thousand dollars has been given by
one man for the building fund. 1t
will be something like the school
at Tuskegee managed by Booker
Washington.
The Rockefeller hall of physics,
which is to be built at Cornell, will
be so located as not to interfere
with the "class-day grove" this
being necessary, because of the
great amount of criticism which
former plans excited.
The New York teachers are very
much disappointed because they
will not be paid their December
salaries on December "A, as they
desired, but will have to wait until
the beginning of the new year.
After all, there must be some con-
ISOLATION in the fact that not having
the money they can not spend it
all on Christmas gifts, as many
would no doubt be tempted to do.
Now that the college football
season is over, the students can re-
turn to their undivided duties, and
the public, which is inclined to be
somewhat hypercritical, may muse
upon the fact that after all football
occupied very small part of the
college boys life and that duties
that were sighted during the season
may be performed with undivided
interest for the remainder of the
year.

HOW SHE SIZED UP THE BISHOP.

From the New York Times. .-
Here is the latest story which
Bishop Potter is telling on him
self. On Friday evening, No
vcmbcr FL, the Bishop performed
an ordination ceremony in Staten
Island, and, as is customary on
occasions, wore a small red hood at
tn e back of his surplice.
An old negro woman was in the
congregation as an interested
listener. After the ceremony her
mistress, who was also present,
asked her what she thought of it..
"Weil," she replied, in hesitating
way, 81 liked his speech fust-rate,
but feel mighty sorry for dat
man. | guess he amt got no
woman to tend to him, has he?"
she asked.
On being assured that the Bishop
was given every possible attention,
she replied positively:
Now, | know better dan dat,
cause one time when he turned
round I-saw dat dc back of his coat
was busted and his red undershirt
was showin' through.

DIR. GRASSLAND OUSTED.
State Department Relieves Mis-.
sOurian From Further Ser
vice.

Washington, December I3.-The
state department today notified DIR.
J. r. Grassland, of St. Joseph,
minister to Liberia, that his services
would be dispensed with at once.
The action of the department is the
result of an investigation of the re-
cent shooting affray in the legation
at Monrovia, in which DR.. Cross
land was implicated as principal.
This affair, which nearly resulted
in tragedy, was the elimination
of quarrel that has been in pro-
gress ever since DR.. Grassland
reached his post.
Officials at the state department
feel that they have.been exceedingly
patient with DR.. Grassland during
his brief connection with the
diplomatic body of the nation. He
was very slow in going to his post,
spending seveSal months in Mis-
souri, after his appointment.
When he did get ready to start he
appeared practically in the role of
an attorney for the government of
Liberia and asked that he be trans
ported in gunboat which he
claimed this country owned to the
Liberian government. He was adj
vised to attend to United States
affairs and let Liberia make her
claims without any of his sugges-
tions. Then the minister went to
Liberia and took with him g. w.
Ellis, of Lawrence, Kan, under
the promise that he should be APP
pointed secretary of the legation.
Mr.. Ellis landed in Liberia to find
the position occupied, and trouble
started at once. Ellis was finally
nominated for the place just few
days before the shooting affair.

DESTRUCTION BY EARTHQUAKES.

Kansas City World We are at
present unable to find the record
of any volcanic eruption more
disastrous in all its features than the
very recent work of the lslanH of
Martinique. The number of lives
lost in that appalling disaster was
about $4,000. But an earthquake
in Japan in 1903 nearly wholly
oblitcrated the city of eddo and de-
strovcd the lives of 100, 900 peo-
pie.
In l755 an earthquake at Lisbon,
Portugal, in a very few minutes
destroyed, or buried beneath the
waters of the ocean, most of
the houses of that city and brought
death of from $4,000 to $4,000 of
its inhabitants.
February 4, I797, the whole
northeastern coast of South Amer
ica from the southern part of Peru
to Panama, was visited by most
destructive earthquake, which
caused an almost incalculable loss
of property and in which the lives
of 10000 human beings were
buried beneath the ruins of the
cities of Cuzco and Quito.
The above are few of the most
prominent earthquakes known to
history, but it is only proper to
state earthquakes are exceedingly of
more frequent occurrence than
volcanic explosions or eruPtions,
and are seldom unattended by dis
aster to life or to property.
