The Way TO walk.

A friend who leads very active life
has theory that the preservation of
good figure depends TO some extent on
the manner of walking. Many people,
she says. as they advance in years al.
low themselves to walk heavily and
without elasticity, so that the whole
weight rests ON the lower part of the
limbs at every step, the only effect of
exercise being wcarincss of the legs
and feet. Instead of this the body
should be held erect and poised so us
10 have n perfect balance. In this way
the muscles are braced and strength
ened throughout. the lungs must OF ne.
cessity be well expanded, and 1t seems
quite reasonable 10 suppose that the
tendency TO increase OF weight may be
checked. At all events, lighter step
and a brisker aud more enjoyable man.
ner of walking can be kept up. and
that In Itself is n very great gain

THE MONEY QUESTION.
A Hard Problem with which Many
Mivcn Have TO WrentIe.


Perhaps the first difficulty young
wives have to encounter, as well as
the last that old wives have still to
wrestle with, is the question of money.
Most women are by nature economical.
They watch outgo more carefully than
men do and plan expenditures more
closely. The extravagant women are
usually those whose lives have not
been allowed to develop naturally, who
have been forced into an economic de-
pendence and taught the joys of spend
ing, with none of the counterbalancing
difficulties of earning. But even such
women have economical streaks in the
midst of their lavishness "a sort of
spasmodic reyersion to type. In spite
Of this there is in most masculine
minds a deep seated distrust of wom-
ans financial ability, and the conse-
quence is that the. world Is full of
careful, industrious wives nagged and
hindered by careless, impulsive hus-
bands, who take to themselves the
credit Of the wife's savings and throw
upon her the blame of their own loose
methods. Few OF these women like to
assert themselves BADLY us their hus-
bands financial superiors some of
them even aid him in his joyful career
Of self deception-and when In desper-
alton they are driven to take the reins
into their own hands It hurts them
worse than 1t does the husbands.-Ha

she Has Come TO Stay In the Con-
gregationnI Church.
The woman minister has come to

dists and Episcopalians. refuse TO or
dain women, the Congregational de-
nomination. In most sections OF the
country at least. seems willing TO APP
prove we'll qualified women or 10 ex-
tend to them the same opportunities
in the Congregational ministry that are
offered TO worthy and well educated
men, The divinity schools Of the de
nomination admit women TO their
courses, and some OF them, like Hart
ford Theological seminary. make a
specially of the opportunities offered
women.
And yet 1t Is not likely that there win
be such a pressure from the feminine
side OF the house into the ranks of The
ministry as TO crowd the men TO the
wall. Here and there n man OF mod
crate ability may be set one side for
brilliant, attractive woman, but that
would be his fate when he came into
competition with man possessing the
same qualifications.
And at any rate, as in the case of the
law and medicine, 1t viii probably only
be the occasional woman in coming
years who viii choose the ministry
for her profession. But 1t seems GER
tain that, provided they possess the de-
sirable natural and acquired qualifica-

The investigations OF the geological
survey have brought TO light facts
about the enormous quantity OF under.
ground water contained in the crust
OF the globe which are calculated TO
astonish the ordinary reader Below
a depth of about six miles II is believed
that no water can exist In the rocks
because the tremendous pressure prob
ably closes all pores; but above that
level the amount Of underground
water is estimated TO he equal TO one
third Of all the water contained in all

st. Petersburg, Feb. 29.-The state
ment of the commander of the United
States gunboat Vicksburg regarding
the Chemulpo affair was communi-
Gated to the Foreign Office by the AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent and was
received as complete and satisfac-
tory explanation. Regrets were ex-
pressed that the incident had created
so much feeling here.
1--WE had no official advices on the
subject" said an official, but as the
incident was attracting much attention
here it is a source of qualification to
learn that the statements made were
not only untrue, but that the Vicks-
burg was the first to render aid We
desire to preserve the most amicable
relations with the American republic,
and when the truth is generally known
it will doubtless go far to allay the
irritation caused by the original re-
port"
When the government receives an

ed, it will express to the United

To BUY SUPPLIES

PURCHASING AGENT DESIRED.
GEORGIA SENATOR'S WILL VISIT
WAR DEPARTMENT..

Merchants of Savannah, Augusta md
Atlanta Are in Sharp Competition
To Sell Supplies to the Govern
ment for the New Military Depart
ment-NOt Necessary That "a Pur-
chasing Agent should be Located
at Headquarters.
BY r. M. Larner.
Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Clay
expects to call at the War Department
tomorrow to urge the selection of a
purchasing agent for the new military
department of the gulf recently ex-
tablished, with headquarters at At
lanta.
There is smart competition among
the business men of Atlanta, Augusta
and Savannah, for the privilege of
furnishing supplies for the department.
Savannah and Augusta would like
to have some of the benefit of the
trade with the government in view OF
the fact that it has been determined
that the supply department must be
located at headquarters.
II iST necessary lldl lht puANhoS-
ing agent shall be at headquarters.
Thus there is an open field for COM
petition. There appears to be some
doubt as to just how the selection is
to be made, and under what conditions
the duties of purchasing agent are to
be carried on.
1t is possible that the quartermaster
general and the comissary general
may hold that the purchasing agent
must be regularly located at head
quarters or in the immediate vicinity.
These questions Senator Clay will take
up with the War Department officially
tomorrow morning. AS Senator Bacon
has received requests from interested
friends on the same subject, he has
arranged to accompany his colleague
to the War Department.

Fatal Array Between Two Negroes

means of resentinG Abrahams object

wife.
A few minutes after the fatal blow
had been struck. Watson was picked
up by the police patrol wagon a few
doors further east and near his own
home. where he was standing. with
the Abraham woman. He assisted the
police to find him by telling them that
he was the man they wanted as soon
as they alighted from the wogan, and
made inquiry for him.
When Abraham came to the gate
Watson was seated on the little front
piazza of Abraham's home. AS the
former started into the gate, the lat
ter went down the stairs and met
him, and the fight began as soon as
the two were within reach of each
other. Watson made quick work of
his antagonist, and was himself I'M
injured. 1t was all over in a twink
ling, and witnesses were unable to
say who was the aggressor.
Abraham, hobbled UP on his piazza
and sank down. AS he was dying
Abraham's wife passed out of the
house by him and Joined Watson, and
the two walked off down the street.
Abrahams last words were IN a
brief. feeble appeal to his wife to come
to his assistance. She passed on with
his slayer, unheeding.
