HEALTH PARAGRAPHS.
Especially Intended for the GufdancS of Girls in Their Everyday
 Lives.

The thin girl must sleep as many ry And she must live in the open air and sunshine just as much as she can every day, says American Queen.
 Study your own physical makeup and then develop the weak parts, while at the same time you keep up the exercises for the whole body in general.
 Be careful not to let any physical fault get start Prevention is so much more valuable than cure. And if you will cultivate keen eye for your own imperfections, it will not be difficult to overcome them at the start.
 Do not neglect to carry yourself well. Do not bend over at the waist. Hold your head straight and erect. It will increase both your own self-respect and produce better impression on all about you.
 Your voice may be cultivated till it will of itself attract friends to you. Train yourself to notice pleasant voices and then modulate your own and see that it always gives out its best tones. Control of the voice will have great influence over your disposition. Be careful that your voice is never harsh or whining.
 You cannot be graceful unless every 1 part of your body enjoys perfect free- dom of action.
 No indoor exercise can take the place of activity in the open air
 The skin is of the greatest value in l eliminating impurities from the body and therefore should be kept in perfect condition.
 If the top of shoe does not allow the toes to spread forward and outward they will have to turn up. It is easy to see l how painful this will be in playing games, or in walking down hills, or in deep bending, or in jumping down from any height.
 Never use any metal instrument about the teeth or you will run the risk i of injuring the enamel. Never bite threads or crack nuts with the teeth
 Mutton tallow is very good for the hands. A few drops of camphor in it have healing effect.
 Rest is fully as important for tho thin girl as diet. Relieve all tension by closing the eyes and baniEhing all l thought for short intervals.
 Never neglect your hands, and espe- cially your nails. Keep both scrupu- 1 lously neat

Novel Defense Made by a Colored Man Answering to the Charge
 of Theft.

sIast winter when 1 went south for my health" said Col l.. S. Brown, of the Southern railway, who, according to the Washington Star, always has 8. good story in stock, T was told they were going to try a colored man for stealing quantity of raw cotton, and when the hour arrived I went up to the court house to hear the case. The prisoner was man about 40 years of age, and he had elected to plead his own case. The prosecution proved that the bag of cotton was found in the colored man 8 cabin, and the property was fully iden- tified as belonging to the owner of a compress. The prisoner asked no Ques- tions, but said he wanted to make a statement and rest his case 'wid de Lawd' After awhile he was given an opportunity to speak and said:
 "I was gwine by dat compress at 'leben o'clock last night when voice dun called out to me: Hold on, dar, Abraham Jones. Yo' was pore man, an yo' jest take long dis bag O cotton to buy yo' some shoes fur cold wealth err Den de bag fell at my feet, an l dun took it home
 "'Did you recognize the yoice?' said the judge.
 'sNo, sah; but reckon it was an angel who spoke
 "'Then why did you hide the bag when you got homer
 "'Well, sah, jest as I got frew de gate another voice dun told me dat I'd bet ter hide de cotton for few days
 "tDid you recognize that voice.?
 '.No, sah; but dun reckon it was a voice from heben.
 "'And that's your defense, is it?'
 "'Yes, sah. Ize willin' to rest dis case in de Lawd's hands. De Lawd He dun knows I nebber stole dat cotton
 Hadn't you better have lawyer?' suggested the judge, with something like smile on his race.
 CT reckon not, sah. I'Ze been gwine to church fur de las fo'ty vars. an I'ze restin' dis case right in de hands ob de l Lawd'
 "sThen I shall have to give you four months in jail, Abraham
 "sHuh, what fur?
 "'For stealing that cotton
 sThe prisoner received his sentence 1 without a word, seeming to have ex- l pected it, and was presently led away ] Two weeks later met him on the streets ] of town 50 miles away and said to him:
 Abraham, thought you were in l jail over at Selma?'
 "'Yes, sah, was he replied.
 "'And remember you put your case l in the hands of the Lord?'
 ".'Deed, but did, sah, an cum out all right
 "But you got four months.

Tribe of Primitive Indians.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The Alabama Indians in the Creek ma
ton are so primitive in their ways that they
attract attention where Indians are no I'M
common sight. They are living and prac-
ticing customs of the Indians of one hun
dred years ago. They still speak their own
dialect, being the only one of the forty nine
different tribes composing the Creek nation
that does this. None of them can speak
English They live in pole huts daubed
with red clay.
The Alabama tribe has affiliated with the
Snake Indians, and is still more backward
in accepting association with the white
man. For long time they refused to be
enrolled on the loyal Creek rolls, but of
late many of them have been persuaded to
come forward and enroll. The prophet Is
the big man of the tribe. When a horse
is stolen he is supposed to be able to find
it, or If Indians become sick he Is expected
to make them we'll If a drought overtakes
the land he Is expected to make it rain.
He brews or makes all the medicine for his
tribe Pottery making. which is lost art
with the. Creek Indians today. was pos
sessed by the members of this tribe until
few years ago. The last survivor of the
old school in the making Of pottery was an
old woman who died few years ago.

The Story Of a Kiss.

The story Of kiss was told in the Dis
trict branch of the Police Court this morn
ing when George Gunninger. an artillery
man stationed at Fort Myer, and Bessie
Baker. domestic employed in the family
of local bank cashier. were arraigned on
a joint charge Of dIsorderly conduct. The
soldier, 1t was alleged, SO far forgot him
self last night as to kiss Bessie Baker
while they were on the Aqueduct bridge.
Policeman George V. Johnson. who ap-
peared as the prosecuting witness. reported
to Judge Scott that he saw the couple
embrace each other and heard the smack
of their lips plainly as they greeted each
other affectionately. The soldier denied
that he kissed the woman or even knew
her. He explained that he jostled against
her while he was crossing the bridge, and,
being gentleman as well a soldier
stopped to apologize. when the officer ar
rested them. The woman corroborated her
co-defendant.
Judge Scott, however, in spite of their
denials held that they were guilty of the
charge, but instead of imposing a fine &C
cepted their personal bonds.

Retirement Of Civil War Veterans.
IN tho EDITOR of The Evening Star:

To the Editor or Tho Evening star:
The opinion of the acting attorney gen.
eral as to whether officers of the army
placed on the retired list under the pro-
vision of the act of October 1. 1890, are
entitled to the benefits of the act of April
3d. 1904. giving increased grade to officers
with civil war records. as published in
The Star, issue of the 7th instant. is an
erroneous construction of the law.
The act of October 1. 1890. under which
these officers were retired. applies to the
whole army without regard to civil war
service. These veterans received no
gratuitous grade or other special beneht
when retired. The records of the War
Department shows that the civil war Vete-
rams of this class served nearly double the
time on the active list that was required
of their more fortunate brother officers
who entered the service after the war, TO
reach the same grade on the retlred nSt.
They were nearly all victims of the slow
regfmental promotions for nearly thirty
years after the war, and some of them
were kept in the grade of lieutenant FOR
more than twenty-five years, and all TINS
time on the hard frontier service in the
western wilderness. This in addition to
their civil war service, in some cases In
confederate prisons. was enough to break
down the strongest constitution, and 1t Is
no wonder that when they were examined
for promotion they were found disqualified
for further active service by reason or dis-
ability in the line of duty. If they had
been able to remain on the active list a
few years longer, many of them would
now be- on the retired list as colonies and
bripadier generals. There Is not more
meritorious class of officers on the re-
tired list, or a class with so many years
service on the active list and with so low
grade on the retired list. If the law of
April % 1904, which was intended as a
reward for civil war service. does not apply
to them to whom should 1t apply? II 1T
does not exactly cover their case. 1t GER
tainIy does not bar them from its benefits.
and IL is a case where justice and equity
should give what the law denies.

RUSSIAN SOLDIERS.
Incidents That Show Rare Personal
Courage and Patriotism.
From the Worlds Work.

From the Worlds Work.
There is a monument in Turkestan to
several Russian soldiers captured by Tur-
comans In 1879 They were artilierymen.
and their guns were captured with them:
so the Turcomans naturally ordered them.
on penalty of death, to serve those guns
against their own comrades. Every man re-
fused. choosing death by horrible torture
and dying without a murmur.
This passion for self-sacrifice is the key
note of the Russian character and is Guilt
waited in the army by every possible means.
The recruit is invariably told the story Of
that heroic company of infantrymen in the
Lomakin expedition into Turkeston who, at
a critical moment, threw themselves into a
deep ditch in order that the guns which
were sorely needed at the front might be
galloped over their bodies. 1t is doubtful
whether this could have happened in any
army but the Russian.
If there is one thing in which the Russian
army excels 1t is marching. Lord Roberts
famous march to Candahar has been equaled
over and over again by the cars troops In
their central Asian campaigns. When Gen.
Kuropatkin marched force OF Turkestan
troops to join Skobeleff in the attack on
Geek Tepe he and his men were swallowed
UP in an unknown. trackless desert for
twenty-siX days, yet they covered over
forty miles day and marched In at the
end of the time in perfect military order
without a single man sick or fallen out.
1t was a wonderful feat, but 1t was not re-
garded in Russian military circles as being
anything extraordinary.
A former captain of the Russian army
told me of a friend of his own who lived for
years in a small town and was then ordered
away to st. Petersburg. In less than six
months he received a command to return,
and promptly blew his brains out
Nobody was surprised" said my friend.
1--WE all know what life in such places Is
like. A man can be happy in Siberia on q
lonely outpost where he has no companion
of his own rank within 100 miles, but there
is no happiness possible In small Russian
garrison town for a man of average intelli-
gence."
