The Earth's Motion.

That the earth's motion has an
appreciable effect upon artillery fire,
DETECTING the projectile from a
straight course, may be news to
many and as such would probably
seem a novel notion. It has, and
the exact nature and extentof the eff
feet are important points Of study
with artillery experts. An English
army expert told Of the results of
many interesting experiments along
this line in paper read before the
Royal Artillery institution. Firing
from north to south, there is a di-
yergence Of projectiles to the left,
due to the earth's rotation, and fir
ing due north the divergence is to
the right. The extent Of the ''pull''
varies at different points Of the
earth's surface and with projectiles
fired at different speeds and eleva-
tons. In England a detection of
five inches is found to occur with
the projectile of twelve FOUNDER in
a 1000 yard range.

Oneuseful element ola literary style
is suggestion. The author does not
tell a laborious story. He presents a
picture in as few words as possible,
allowing the reader to fill in the de-
tails for himself. This was the I'M
conscious method of little Margaret,
who, says the Philadelphia Tele-
graph, had had a present of some
sugared almonds and was laboring
under an impulse of generosity.
"Aunty," said she, ''don't you
want some of my almonds"
|'Thank you, DEAR was the
prompt reply, 81 will take one or
two. Sugared almonds are favor
ties Of mine"
"WeIl, which is the most favor
ties, the pink ones or the white
ones ?"
q will take the white ones, please
that is, if you don't mind"
"That'll be just right, aunty.
You take the white ones, and I'll
keep the pink ones. They were all
pink at first"

A London man recently ordered
a pair Of trousers from his tailor.
On trying them on they proved to
be several inches too long. 1t being
late on Saturday night, the tailor's
shop was closed, so the man took
the trousers to his wife and asked
her to cut six inches of and hem
them over. The good lady, whose
dinner had perhaps disagreed with
her, brusquely refused.
The same result followed an ap
pication to tie wife's sister and the
eldest daughter. But before bed
time the wife, relenting, took the
pants and, cutting six inches from
the legs, hemmed them up nicely
and returned them to the closet.
Half an hour later her daughter,
taken with compunction for her I'M
filial condpct, took the trousers, cut
off six inches, then hemmed and re-
placed them. Finally the sister-in-
law felt the pangs of conscience,
and she, too, performed an addition
al surgical operation on the garment.
When the poor fellow appeared
at breakfast on Sunday, the family
thought a highland chieftain had
arrived.-London Answers.

The house was 'handy to the

There was the proper number Of
closets and the rental was reason
able, but before coming to terms
the house hunting matron said to
the agent:
'It is only fair for me to tell you
that we have five boys"
'SThat won't make any difference,
ma'am," he said, with a smile.
s'You will find big families of boys

find a neighborhood where there
won't be any boys but mine!'
At last accounts she was still
hunting.

The ART OF sETTING-UP.
Rules Ey Which to Improve Your Fig
ure and Bearing.

How quickly one can distinguish
an army or navy officer on the
street, though he is a stranger!
How many would give a fortune to
possess such a figure and bearing!
And yet almost any one who has
not some natural deformity can ac-
quire it by observing a few simple
rules and practicing few easy ex-
ercises. AS you know, it takes but
few weeks or months Of discipline
and drill to change uncoutk,
slouchy, raw recruits into fine, erect
and dignifed soldiers.
Always, when standing or walk
ing, hold yourself as erect as posi-
bic. Throw the shoulders back and
down, elevate the chest a little and
draw the chin in a trife. When
standing, the weight Of the body
should fall upon the ball of the
foot, neither upon the heel nor the
toe.
No one can have a good figure
without throwing the chest well for
ward, the shoulders back and down
and carrying the body in an erect
position. Follow these simple rules
strictly, and you will greatly, i'm
prove your figure and bearing.
Do not bend the legs too much
when walking and let the weight
fall slightly more on the heel first.
Swing the arms naturally, but not
too much.
Be careful not to bob up and
down when walking. A graceful
walker seems to glide easily along.
Curves are always graceful, and an
angular, jerky movement is always
ungainly. Grace is an acquirable
quality, but we must remember
that nature abhors angles and spas
modic movements. She always uses
curves which are most graceful and
delicate.
The reason why woman is more
beautiful than man is because her
form is made up of graceful curves.
There are no angles whatever in a
model female f9ure.-Success.

this. Still he was an honest man,
and so after a momentary struggle
with his conscience he replied hon
estly:

the time you found it out yourself

AanhnIf and Trees.

Experience in the east in regard Co
the effect of asphalt pavement upon
trees by the roadside has taught OBJ
servers that the influence of the i'm
perviOus pavement depends upon the
character of the soil. Where there is
q substratum of rock. the trees will
suffer, because the pavement will pre-
vent moisture from reaching the roots
from above, from which direction all
nourishment for the trees must come.
On the other hand where there is
deep sell the roots will find plenty of
nourishment under the pavement.
which serves to keep the moisture
from evaporating and holds it in sup

1t will probably be found that where
trees have died as a result of asphalt
ing the roots were cut by the exca"
yators for the concrete foundation.
Trees which are thus robbed Of roots

to offset the loss Of nourishment The
builders Of cement footpaths are also

..e..on Of spooner,s rrtumph.

lesson OF spooner's Triumph.
You need not be told, )" said Sena-
tor Spoo1er on Wednes lay to the
legislature. "that I am in harmony
with TIE Republican party Of the
United States"
AS United States Senator John G.
Spooner has shown that "sense Of
responsibility" that painstaking
study of intricate conditions, that
''great caution" that independence
of thought and action" which are,
he went on to say, SO necessary in
men charged with the duty Of
formulating legislation for rs, 900, 600
people, of determining public policies
far-reaching in effect, often complex,
and sometimes irrevocable."
Yet certain Republican leaders of
his own state, in the interest of an
idea which, whether it be genuine
reform or merely political fad, has
not been generally accepted by the
Republican parCy of the United
States, sought to make this idea
this Wisconsin local issue-the test
of John G.. Spooner's fitness to be
United States Senator.
When Senator Spooner refused to
submit to this improper test-be-
cause he refused to be judged on
local issue outside his duties as Sena-
tor-because he declined to take
position favorable to q policy which,
as Senator, he could neither make
nor mar these Republican leaders
of his own state threatened to de-
prive his cour try of his services.
Fortunately the common sense of
Wisconsin Repu oIicanism rose up to
reject test so,improper, and poll
tical method so narrow and irration-
al. It sus tanned Senator Spooner in
his refusal to have his fitness meas
ured by the inch rule Of a political
fad and sends him back to Washing
ton Oy the unanimous vote of the
four-ftths Republican majority in
Wisconsin legislature.
So in the words ''of the United
States" Senator Spoooer quietly and
with all dignity recorded the
triumph of bis personal vindication
at the hands Of the Republicans Of
Wisconsin,, aud their approval of his
conception of what is an improper
test Of the fitness OF a United Sena-
tor
The lesson OF Senator Spooners
triumph over narrow minded poll
tics should not be lost upon other
communities which may be tempted
by politicians seeking merely issues
to win on, and so attempting to i'm
pose on public men tests of fitness
having nc relation TO their duties.
Such irrational politics always
fails in the end, because, as Abra-
ham Lincoln said, mo one can fool
all the people all the time. Chi
