Rejoice in the Possession of a Whole
some, Whole Body.
Do you ever stop to think how real
ly healthy you are and say Thank
you" to the big round world that has
made you so? The physical part Of
ones body is the first to rise to the
situation on particularly bright, sun
ny day.
Very few of us realize until some
check comes upon our health that we
are in daily possession of the greatest,
most lastingly satisfying blessing that
can be given to a woman. A girl
sprains her ankle and has to walk on
crutches will give you the informa-
ton, after she comes back from her
first outing thus equipped, that she
never knew how many people there
were in this city who walk on crutches
or had something the matter with
their ankles and limped about" says
a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger.

pie before. Very few people do until
they get hurt themselves, and then,

a blessing it was to have a whole
some, whole body, full of the mere joy
of living. 1t is pretty good plan to
discuss our benefits in this life with
ourselves once in while, and put the
good things that we have in promi-
nent place in our mind, against the
day when the unavoidable worry
comes and we are disposed to think
that everything has gone wrong.

MOST dangerous Rttempt Recently

Advices from Geneva convey the
information that a M. Hasler Of
Berne, member of the Swiss Alpine
club, has just made new Alpine rec
ord. 1t seems that M. Hasler, ac-
companied by Chamonix guide,
climbed to the summit of the Aiguille
Verte, 4,116 meters high, on March
81.
The Aiguille Verte is one of the
most dangerous climbs in the entire
Mont Blanc range, and is rarely at
tempted, even in summer 1t is con-
sidered as difficult as the Matterhorn,
and much more dangerous, owing to
its loose rolling stones.
M. Hasler made the climb after a
fall of soft damp snow. for which he
had been waiting several weeks, so
he might reduce the danger Of be-
coming a victim to the stones. He
stayed an hour on the summit and
then returned by easy stages to his
hotel at Chamonix.

AsIa's Pendulum Lake.

Among the many interesting dis
coveries of DR.. Sven Hedin in Central
Asia is singular oscillation in the
position of the lake of Kara-koshum,
or Lop-nor. This lake seems as rest
less as some rivers that change their
beds, but the cause of its movements
is a secular change in the level of
the desert, in the midst of which it
lies, bordered by vegetation. At pres
emit this lake is retreating northward
from the place where Prjevalsky
found it, and creeping toward its
ancient bed, where it is known to
have lain in the third century of the
Christian era; and as it slowly
moves, the vegetation, the animals
and the fishermen with their reed
huts follow it's shores northward. DR..
Hedin believes that after reaching
the northern part of the desert the
lake returns southwark, the period of
oscillation being 1000 years or more.

How often the kind of food eaten de-

and happiness or even life or death.
Our little girl when but five weeks
old had to undergo a very severe opera
ton which left her unable to take her
nourishment in the natural way, that
is by nursing, and of course she had to
be fed. She was naturally fraiI and
the food did not help her. At the age
of eleven weeks she was subject to a
second operation and from that time
she continued to grow thinner and
weaker until she was but a mere
shadow so writes a lady of Ohio.

of the first week noticed an improve

COUNCIL is BOTHERED.
West Sixth Avenue Paving a Source
of Contention.

A visit was paid to West Sixth ave-
nue. Friday afternoon by the streets and
walks committee of the city coun-
ell, for the purpose of trying to de-
termine upon some plan for the repair
or replacement of the pavement on that
street. It was decided that for the pur
pose of fixing some of the worst holes,
the street commissioner shall use crush
ed rock, and that next week the com
mittee will hold another meeting to de-
aide upon some further action.
Councilman Tincher of the Sixth ward
O. in favor Of having the whole street
repaired at the expense of the city. He
says that West Sixth avenue people
will never agree to pay for repaving
the street.
City Engineer McCabe and Street
Commissioner Snyder are both of the
opinion that the street can not be
profitably repaired.
They say that the most satisfactory
way will be to resurface the street with
brick. This will probably cost about 80
cents square yard.
The committee decided to recommend
that the paving of Huntoon street, be-
tween Jackson and Van Buren, be
abandoned, provided the consent of the
contractors to this move can be OBJ
tanned.
There was also a little scrap between
Chairman Weber and Mayor Bergund-
thai about the location for the proposed
Street Railway company's pile bridge.
Weber wants it put where the old
bridge was and the mayors idea is that
it will have to go on the east side OF
the Melan bridge, where the car COM
pany wants to put it. The 'company
has agreed to submit a new blue print
for the bridge, embodying all the
changes suggested in the first plans.
