DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED

Major 7. II. Mars, of the First Wis

table, stretching her arms to make a
shot, she exercise the muscles of her
waist, and a novice will feel slight
lameness from the stretching of these
muscles.
This stroke, with which she must
lean forward, is excellent for her
shoulders, the movement of her arms,
combined with the bending OF the
shoulders and waist, making a combi-
nation of movements seldom found.
Combine with this the necessity of
making a stroke, and you have an ideal
exercise.
The bridge to be used when max
ing shot that you cannot convenient
ly reach, is less frequently used by
women, than the side of the table,
which can be made to serve the same
purpose. They have found that this
is splendid for the exercise of the
waist muscles.
Then there is the stroke from the
side. The player leans sideways over
the table, her arms extended, and her
head generally on one side. This gives
her neck an exercise, and nothing
could be better for the intercostal
muscles. The balancing OF the cue
makes the exercise more trying and
places a greater strain on the muscles
of the side than all the resisting and
free-hand exercise could in many a
day.
When a woman becomes a billiard
enthusiast and has learned to eng
lish" her ball and make it carrom all
sorts of fancy stunts with the ivory,
she will begin 10 play a game Of French
billiards that calls for backhanded
work.
When she shoots from behind her
back she gives her muscles splendid
exercise. There is a slight bend and
a twist that is beneficial. Using the
arms while in that position had been
found most trying.

Clever Women Are Combining Their
Pleasures and Physical Training
When won an learns her A B C's of
beauty and charm she finds that grace
comes near the beginning OF the less-
son. A well-developed arm, a pretty
neck and good shoulders go to the
making of a charming figure To OBJ
tain these nowadays there are p hun
dred means, but none more pleasant,
entertaining and beneficial as an exer-
else than billiards. Billiard parties
for women are growing more common
and there are many places where Ia
bles can be had by parties for an even
ing. In this way woman turns her
physical training into pleasure. There
is just enough weight to the cue to try
the muscles of the hand, especially q
woman's hand, bringing a little resist
ance into play.
The cue always is held in the night
hand with the thumb and three of four
fingers. To balance your cue prepar-
atory to making a shot you fiex the
wrist muscles and draw the cue two or
three times quickly back and forth,
practically drawing a bead" on the
exact portion of the ball you wish to
strike.
The left hand is rested upon the Ia
BILE, the taper end OF the cue passing
between the thumb and second finger,
the third and fourth fingers resting on
the table. This, OF course, creates a
slight strain on the muscles of the left
arm, and the continued lifting and plac-
ing of the hand does the work with
the left that the shooting does to the
right.

Whoever is partial to ghost stories will
find genuine thrills and shivers in this
collection of tales by Mary z. wilkins.
This author, who, by the way, drops the
name Freeman, which she uses in another
volume published little earlier and men,
toned elsewhere, has tried her hand at
several varieties of fiction, not with uni
form success it must be said AS a writer
of ghost stories, however, she achieves
success. In these six stories, the first of
which, 1.-THE Wind in the Rose Bush, -
gives the title to the volume, she shows
great skill in the handling of her theme.
Not once does she introduce the traditional
ghost, the transparent vision In vague hui
man likeness which has so long figured in
the pages Of fiction. In fact, in most of
the tales no ghost is actually visible, but
the presence of something uncanny is made
known and the reader feels 1t. Weird
things in daylight as well as In darkness;
sometimes it is the violent swaying of a
rosebush when wind blows, sometimes
1t Is an unaccountable shadow, sometime
the strange moving of articles from place
to place: again ii is a voice where no speak
er is visible. All these things are among
the experiences of commonplace, everyday
people by no means on the lookout for oc-
cult happenings, fact that makes them
the more impressive. The book will go far
to restore the authors somewhat waning
popularity.

Children of Destiny.

Before Miss Molly Elliot Seawen turned
her attention TO French historical fiction
she wrote a number of novels of an entirely
different character which were very well
liked, but which, since her later books have
gained so much popularity. have dropped
somewhat into the background. One of
these. entitled 1.-The Children of Destiny"
has just been brought to notice again by
the publication, by the Bobbs- Merrill Com
pany, of a new edition. IL is a story or
Virginia life in the early half OF the nine
teenth century-an old-fashioned story in
more than one sense. The people who move
through the pages are not quite like the
people readers of the tale know in real life;
they are rather stilted and somewhat re-
mote their loves and hates are fiercer than
those of to-day; they discourse in stately
fashion now unknown; there Is immense
leisure for every one, and. though there Is
a good deal of concern about money, no
one works for il. The children, especially
the boys, who figure In the tale are dignified
youngsters who do nothing childlike and
remind one OF the lads with high hats ana
long-tailed coats in old English prints.
The book has, in fact, an English rather
than an American atmosphere. Perhaps
this is In ones accuracy and skill in delin-
cation, since, in those far-away days before
the war the peaceful plantation life OF
Virginia undoubtedly resembled, in some re-
spects, the rural life of England. Like
many records. too of what seems, on the
surface. to be placid country life, it has its
heartaches and tragedies. There Is quite
TO the final pages. Perhaps most readers
will consider that since Shelton, the lead
ing male character, was losing some of his
Objectionable characteristics and was on
the eve of living a new and better life his
death was unnecessary. However, the tale
has a quaint charm of its own, and many
readers will find a pleasure in it's pages
that they do not discover in the historical
or sensational fiction.

THE Traitors" by e. Phillips Oppenheim,
is another novel of the "Zenda'' class. 1t is
full of fire and vigorous romance. clever ad-
venture and dramatic political intrigue.
1t was evidently written with the purpose
of dramatization. and carries the strenu-
Gus interest that novels of this kind usu-
ally carry. The action takes place in the
Kingdom of Theos. where revolution oc-
ours. the exiied King is recalled. to be fol-
lowed by a war with Turkey. or course,
there are Americans in the story. and they
take leading roles. Miss Sara Van Decht
becomes Queen of Theos. She is one of the
beautiful girls of the German-American
type, type to which almost all the char
acters belong. But this is perhaps to be
expected, since the country in which the
story is located is built on a German
American plan. In fact, all of the stories of
this kind seem to have this distinction

of imperial strictness. and a group of per-
sons unconventional. unused to restrictions,
who override all obstacles that interfere

pursuit of happiness. THE Traitors" has

bination of novel and drama affords. Dodd,
