BED DRILL" EA ERCiSE.
t1ndOn Doctors Cure For SleepIess-
ness and "Brain FAY"


An exercise known as bed drill"
Il which even sick persons may par
.cipate, is the rather novel physical
culture system that finds its discov-
erer in DR.. Henry Bond of London.
says Il cable dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean. According to the latter,
rheumatic people can profit by it. The
man with insomnia may find in it
cure for his sleepessness, brain flag"
flies before it, and the healthy man
can suffer no hurt by taking course
of bed drill after he has retired to rest
"The concentration of ideas involved
in bed drill says DR.. Bond, may
seem at first paradoXical. Bed. it may
We said. is essentially place for rest,
and so it should be if we were all of
us living under perfectly natural con-
ditions; but unfortunately we are not,
and to most of us. especially as we adj
ing the still watches of the night or
in the morning, when we are for a
time satisfied with sleep, intervals of
wakefulness when we must perforce
remain in bed and it is irk some to lie
there and do nothing, particularly if
the alternative be brain worry. Then
is the time to divert the attention to
bed drill"
Below are few Of the forms of ex-
ercise which DR.. Bond advocates:
Toe Drill-Lie on the side, with the
knees drawn up. The muscles of the feet
will then be operated on so as to cause
the toes to move freely about. Even per-
sons who at first find their toes immova-
BILE owing to the habit of wearing tight
boots can by practice cause their joints to
become as flexible as those Of our alleged
simian ancestors.
Ankle Drill and Knee Drill.-Ths is best
achieved by working the knees and ankles
slowly while lying on the side.
Hip Drill.--Best practiced by lying on
the fiat of the back and lengthening the
legs alternately from the hips, using all
the muscles about the hips for the pur-
pose.
The way to bed drill should be night
ly paved by skipping, much neglect.
ed exercise, which DR.. Bond says. from
personal experience at an advanced
age, he has found "a valuable means
of restoring the equilibrium of the
circulation after strenuous labor with
brain or pen"

he liked a funny story and could tell

also hated inquisitive people.
This story is told Of Kennedy and
a curious man: A friend of Jim's

1t was Ruskin who gave 1t as his
opinion that women favor war. The
apostle of art, by the way, meant ma
tional conflict, not domestic This idea
he attempted to justify by asserting
that if women wished it earnestly
enough they could prevent war. But
have women really the means Of i'm
posing their views on men in such mat
tiers? There are many women who
are deeply interested in trying to pro-
mote peace, and we are reminded of
this by the recent death of Princess
Gabrielle Wiszniewska, Frenchwo-
man, near relative of Victor Hugo,
but married to Russian. She founded
the Woman's Universal League For the
Promotion of Peace by Education. 1t
is stated that 100000 women are ad-
herents Of the league. One of the
ideas Of the princess was laid before
the recent peace congress at Rouen. 1t
Is that there should be an interna tional
postage stamp, which should be rec
ognized by the postal authorities of
every nation. The stamp must be en-
graved with words to indicate that it
is symbol of peace and amity be-
tween the nations 1t should be of
small value only, but should enable
correspondents to Enclose stamps for
reply" or to pay for goods sent as well
as to write from one to another coun-
try without inquiring for fresh stamp
In each. BY all means let us have the
stamp Of peace, whether we can have
the thing for which it stands or not.

The British expedition into Tibet met
with some unexpected problems due to
the intense cold, says the New York
Globe. The Maxim guns and the rifles
of the infantry were the cause of con-
siderable trouble. The water jackets
Of the MaXims became source of dan
ger as they frUze tight. To prevent
this a mixture of one-quarter rum and
three quarters water, with enough kerr
osene to make it undrinkable, was
used This was a failure, and the final
mixture decided on was half and half
rum and water. The oil in the locks
Of the rifles and MaXims clogged and
caused endless misfiring. The only
way in which this could be overcome
was to have the men carry the locks
of the Maxims inside their clothes and
to take their rifles to bed with them on
very cold nights.

HERO FOR CARNEGIE MEDAL
Waterman Risked Life to Save Capi-

Thomas A. Shanahan. private
Waterman in ST. Louis, who risked
his life the other night to help several
persons escape from burning house,
is the first man to be proposed as a
candidate for one of Andrew Carne-

The fire was in the palatial home of
John Scuilin, the st. Louis street car
capitalist. and Mrs. Scullin, her neph-
ew, Henry Sculln, New York youth,
who is visiting her, and her maid,
Maggie Riley, would have lost their
lives had not Shanahan taken prompt
and lrless action.
Sh, -ly after midnight Shanahan
saw smoke coming from the house.
Opening the basement door with his
key, he ran through the kitchen, which
was rapidly filling with smoke and
flame, and up the staircase leading to
the pantry. A fresh burst of flame met
him as he plunged into the pantry, but
he dashed for the staircase leading to
the second floor and hurried to awaken
Mrs. Scullin, whose room is immediate.
ly over the dining room.
He knocked loudly at the door. and
Mrs. Scullin arose. Shanahan then
started to the third floor to call the
maid. Mrs Scullin hurried to the
guest chamber and aroused her neph.
ew. The maid gathered up Mrs. Soul.
Inns jewels, valued at 100000, and
then started for the veranda. AS they
reached it they heard Shanahan strug.
Cling with the door.
Between them they battered out the
panels, making hole just big enough
to allow Of their exit. Mr.. Scullin was
in New York.

Popularity of the Walking Stick.

For the past few years walking
sticks have been more generally used
by the gentlemen of the frock coat.
They will, however, be seen on all oc.
casions during the spring and sum-
mer season, says the Sartorial Art
Journal. The well groomed man car
ries his walking stick to business for
service all through the day, and the
man who spends but few hours
about the business district Of town
likewise leans on his stick. Some are
of white walnut stained with acid to
the taste Of the owner. English furze
is very popular, as are likewise the
Madagascar and cherry. Partridge
wood and the pimienta are sought. and
oak is always in demand. 1t would be
quite impossible to say what style Of
handle Is most favored Each Is good
If not clumsy in treatment. Thorough.
breds carry the cane for service rather

LOSS OF THE SIEGE GUNS.

Information received by local Jap
auese confirms the story that the sink
ing of transports in the Korean straits
was a severe blow to Japan. These
vessels were carrying the siege guns in
tended for use against Port Arthur
sr,ns that had been removed from forts
defending japanese harbors and We're
among the finest types of modern artli-
Iery. AS Japan cannot buy such arma-
ment now. owing to the neutrality of
the manufacturing nations, the loss IS
not to be repaired.
That such valuable stores should
have been set afloat without an escort
Is incomprehensible. Surely siege guns
are worth guarding and convoy was
due these which are now at the bottom
of fine sea. Admiral Kamamura may,
oerhaps be excused from missing an
enemy's fugitive ships in the fog, but
he certainly ought to have been at
hand when the transports from his own
country, laden with invaluable military
s,IppIies. and of whose movements he
must have been appraised, were crossing
perilous waters.
IT may be deemed probable that the
Japanese will attempt to get on with
out siege guns and carry the strong
hold of Port Arthur by assault. In
that case the loss of life will approx
mate that of great battles for Port Ar
thur is one of the three or four real
fortresses of the world.

pARKER's GOLD DECLARATION.

1t will be interesting to note the
effect upon politics of Judge Parker
blunt profession of faith. Coming as
it did before the convention that nam
ed him had adjourned and coupled as
it was with the intima ton that, II the
delegates preferred some other man
he would withdraw, it strikes the
casual citizen as a remarkable show
of courage. A crafty politician like
the late Samuel j. Tilden would not
have done it; a candid one like Grover
Cleveland would; and Judge Parker
despite his long political utilization with
Hill seems to be in the Cleveland
class.
1t required nerve to deliberately
slap Bryan and his friends in the face;
vet il is easy to see how conserVa-
tive and high-minded New Yorker
would rather lose the support OF
large voting element than to be mixed
up in any way with the irresponsible
crowd that would debase the currency
for a partisan advantage. If any crit
icism is due Judge Parker 1T is that
he delayed the announcement of his
money views until the convention had
done its work and could not retraee
its steps without again making silver
an issue through the reputation of a
gold man.
How Bryan and his friends in the
West and South will act and what eff
feet their present feelings will have
upon the fortunes of the Populist
ticket headed by Watson, will soon be
seen. Our own impression is that the
name of Bryan is no longer one to
conjure with and that the Democracy,
by two defeats, has lost any desire to
revive the silver issue; further that the
admiration all men have for states
man of convictions will rebound to the
political benefit of Parker as it did of
Cleveland, though probably not to the
point of overcoming the natural Re
publican majority.

THE DEMOCRATIC DELEGATE.
progressing,

The Democracy of Hawaii, in look
ing at the work of its delegation at
St. Louis, can barely hide its chagrin.
First the delegation ranged in line for
Hearst, the man who never had a
ghost of a show for the nomination
and was merely seeking it for adver-
Using purposes; and second il was so
far unable to see the inside of things
that it voted against the right man
for Vice President and actually divid-
ed its vote on the question of whether
Parker should be endorsed or repudi-
ated for declaring in favor of honest
money.
This comes of entrusting work of
the first Importance to men of third
rate capacity, a thing we have long
done in politics here on both sides
but which ought to be omitted when
a time comes to take part in the poll
teal affairs of the nation. There are
plenty of Democrats here who would
have made even the few votes of Ha-
men and the safest principles-such
men as S. NJ. Damon, ]. o. Carter, w.
A. Kinney, NJ. M. Scott. DR.. McGrew.
and E. B. Mechanism. But these
leaders were not asked to go. Their
places were given to Curtis Iaukea,
DR.. Noblitt, j: L. Coke and T. B. Ly-
ons, the latter proprietor of the Aloha
saloon at Waikiki, with proxy
thrown in for carpet-bagger Galbraith,
who wanted to use a Hawaiian vote
to work some Oklahoma scheme. No
wonder the Democracy stands humili-
ated by their work. They not only
failed but they put Hawaii in such a
fix that, in case of Parker's election,
it could not go to him for anything
and show a right to his consideration.
The only wonder is that, with the
absurd Iaukea as a leader, the dele
cation didn't crown it's follies by bolt
ing the completed ticket.
