WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY R~EPUBLICat.
Whenever you see a ,o-called ''willowy"
girl. you see one who knows how to rest
properly.
You gee a girl who not only walks as she
should walk. but one who rests as she
should rest. -.
One of the most important of all things
lis the resting properly.
No one but yourself knows how many.
hours a day you devote to resting, and no
lone knows as well as yourself whether you
lido this in the right way or not. .
A statistician. ~tireless in his efforts to in
vestigate the habits OF women. computes
that the average woman can remain. on her.
fleet. at most. only three hours sasday. and
ithat all the rest of the time she either sits
fr sleeps.
He Includes in the resting business all the
time when a woman is seated; all the hours
Pm which she reclines in a rocking-chair.
All the time. during which she lounges
upon the couch; and the patient hours, dur
Ding Which she sits and sews, seated COM
rortably. or uncomfortab;y.
1t is very likely that the statistician is
nearly correct in his estimate, and that the
average woman can walk OF stand not more
than three whole hours a day.
Certainly few women ever walk more
than an hour at a time; and even during
the long, tiresome shopping hours, she sits

In a certain very wealthy home in New

A GOOD SHOWING.
KENTUCKY FOURTH STATE IN
REVENUE COLLECTIONS.

The report of the Internal revenue
department for the fiscal year just
closed shows that in spite of the re-
duction of the tax Oh beer and msufac-
tured tobacco, Kentucky is the fourth
state in the union in point Of revenue
collections.
The decrease in collections resulting
from the reduction in tax just men,
toned amounted to only 9 per cent
last year, while in st. Louis and Chi
cago the falling off was nearly so per
cent. In the two combined revenue
districts constituting the city of New
York the collections decreased nearly
&C 2-3 per cent.
The comparatively slight decrease
in Kentunky's collections is an indi-
cation of increased production and con
sumption. The total collections for
the last fiscal year are nearly sl2, 900,
900.

WHAT WE SELL.

The publisher of newspaper has
one thing to sell and one thing TO
rent. He has the newspaper TO sell
and the space in his columns to rent.
Can anyone inform us why he should
be expected to give away either the
one or the other? He can If he so
chooses, and he does, as a matter of
fact, furnish = great deal Of space rent
free. But il does not follow that he
ought to be expected to do so. Ii
ought to be recognized as a contribu-
tion, exactly as would be the giving
away Of sugar or coffee by grocer.
But, strange to say, il is not look ed
1pon in that light at all; and yet
every body knows that the existence of
a newspaper depends upon the rent Of
its space and the sale of the paper,
just the same as merchants success
depends on selling his goods instead
Of giving them away, -Albion, Ind,

THIS Is THE BIGGEST
CLOCK IN THE WORLD.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 3-The
greatest clock in the world, the dial
of which will be 100 feet in diameter,
is being built here for use at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition next
year.
Only the hands and machinery are
being made here, for the dial is to be
a brilliant bed OF flowers. The clock
will be placed on the. side of the NIL
north of the agricultural building.
The minute hand will be sixty feet
long and the ring at the end, which
will be fastened to the machinery,
will be eight feet in diameter. The
minute hand will move five feet every
minute. The numerals marking the
various hours will be fifteen feet in
length and made Of bright colored
coleus. In a broad circle surrounding
the dial will be- twelve flower beds,
one opposite each hour and each two
feet wide and fifteen feet long. At
night the timepiece will be illuminat-
ed with 1900 incandescent lights.
