THE RIGHT WAY TO WALK.
Preservation of a Good Figure De-
ponds to Some Extent on This
"A New Theory.

A friend who leads a very active
life has a theory that the preser.
walton of good figure depends TO
some extent on the manner of
walking, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Many people, she says,
as they advance in years allow
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
WEAKNESS of the legs and feet. In
stead of this his body should be
held erect and poised SO as to have
a perfect balance; in this way the
muscles are braced and strength
cncd throughout, the lungs must
Of necessity be well expanded, and
it seems quite reasonable to sup
pose that the tendency 10 increase
of weight may be checked. At all
events lighter step and a brisker
and more enjoyable manner of
walking can be kept mp, and that
in itself is a very great gain.

young mans visits TO the home
of the young lady who finally be-
came his wife, he Glanced to take
from his pocket a so gold piece
which the young lady got into her
possession. He made a brief at
tempt to regain it, but gave it NJ
and in a joking way said: "KeeT
it to pay the minister with"
The years went by and the gold

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
Men Who Were Born in One Section
and Represent Another at
Washington.

There are few men in congress
who are natives of southern
states, but who have moved north
and represent northern constit-
uencies, says the Washington
Post. There is but one man who
lis a native of a northern state
who have been elected from the
south, and in this case he comes
from a border state. Very many
men born in eastern states are
now representing western states.
This is very natural, as the tide of
immigration has been from east
to west, and the west has been
peopled by the east.
1t is a rare thing, however, to
find a man in congress from the
east who was born in the west.
But there are some. Fowler, of
New Jersey, and Greene, of Mas
sachusetts, are natives of Illinois.
Perkins, of New York, was born in
Wisconsin. Hearst, of New York,
is a native of California.
The men who were born in the
south and now represent northern
constituents are Senator Hawley,
of Connecticut, who was born in
North Carolina; Senator Cullom,
Of Illinois, a native Of Kentucky,
a border state. however; Senator
Newlands, of Nevada, a native Of
Mississippi; Speaker Cannon, of
Illinois, and Representative Dix
on, Of Montana, and Shober, Of
New York, were born in North
Carolina; Representative Mar
shall of North Dakota. is native
Of Missouri. West Virginia is
not always counted a southern
state, and the fact that her two
senator's are Ohio born scarcely
makes the exception to the rule
that few northern men are sent
TO congress from the south.

The Nile Valley.

The secret Of the ineXhaustible
fertility of the Nile valley, which
has long been credited to the an

flowing of the river, has been dis
covered by Mr.. Fairchild, agricul

States government, TO be the nj
trifying powers of the plant Der
seem. Berseem is a species of tri-
folium, which has the power not

line properties in the land, but
also to enrich it with nitrates.
Something of composite of alfal-
ia and clover, it is in every way
more delicate in flavor and more
succulent than either.

Baked Potatoes.

A box car which the Gates Mercantile
company were loading with potatoes,
caught fire Wednesday afternoon and
was totally destroyed together with ten
or twelve thousand pounds OF potatoes
The car was standing on a sidetrack OPP
posite Beckman's saloon when the fire
was discovered, the blaze having started
in some straw with which the car was
bedded. The blaze had gained consid-
cradle headway and when it was seen
that it could not be extingushed the car
was uncoupled and pushed up the track
To a point near the stockyards, where it
was left to its fate, there being no avail
able water supply at hand with which to
quench the blaze. Had it not been pos
sible to have moved the car several near
by buildings would probably have been
burned. 1t is not known how the fire
originated. Gates loss on the potatoes
viii amount to fifty or sixty dollars.

broad hospitality. 1t was more than
enough to revel in an Italian sun, light
ing up a semi-tropical land; to look up
to white-capped peaks, towering into
blue; to look down upon wind-swept
