TO ACQUIRE "sEA LEGS"
The Whole Trick Consists in Keeping
the Body as Perpendicular
as Possible.

How many YOyagers on our
great inland sea ever succeed in
finding their sea legs? This is an
accomplishment which demands
as a rule, years of experience, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. For the
most part it is only the old salt
who has served a long apprentices
ship in many a nor'easter who has
caught the trick perfectly. With
a little care it is no more trouble,
however, to find ones sea legs than
TO learn to waltz. The deck of any
lake vessel will afford plenty of
opportunity for practice, and the
trip may even be long enough for
requirements. The pitch of a fer.

A Fair Offer Made by Chas. w. Loomis
to All Sufferers from Catarrh.
Chas. W. Loomis is selling Hyomei
on a plan that has caused considerable
talk amongst his customers.
The plan is differenr from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the rem
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has such
an unusual record of cures to its credit
that Chas. w. LOOMS offers to refund
the money if it does not give the de-
sired benefit. This is certainly one OF
the fairest offers that tan be made and
any n who has catarrh and does not
take advantage Of it is doing himself
or herself an injustice.
Extra bottles of Hyomei can be pro
cured for use with the inhaler at soc.

PHYSICAL CULTURE SAVES.
French Woman Learns the Benefit OF
It and Starts League for
Girls.

A feminine league Of physical
culture" has been started in Paris
by a lady who says that she has
learned from her own experiences
the need of athletics for women as
we'll as for men, reports the Lon.
don Telegraph. She was brought
up to consider that all outdoor
sports were unwomanly. She mar
ried a man of feeble constitution,
and has two children, both weak.I
ly. Finally she fell i'll herself, and
was pronounced by a doctor to be
going into a rapid decline. Hav.
ing made up her mind she was dy.
ing, she went to spend the few
months she thought she had to
live in the country. There, how.
ever, instead of lying down to die,
she took it into her head to force
hrself to walk, to battle and to go
in for violent exercise. After a
year or so she was another WON.
an, and when. on returning to Par.
is, she went to see her doctor, he
did not know her, and told her,
when she related her experience
to him that the physician who
pronounced her case to be hope.
less was ii fool. Then she told him
that if that were so, the fool and
he were the same person, and he
did not like it. Now, thanks to
constant exercise, the lady says
t that at 80 she is a strong woman,
after having been almost an in
valid for % to 30 years. Her ex.
p%erience induced her to start the
| league in question, and to open q
school of physical culture, which

OBSTACLES.
The Man Who Stops at Small Things
Never Aceomplishes Much
in Life.

The young man who, after max
ing up his mind what he wants to
do in the world, begins to hunt up
obstacles in his path, to magnify
them, to brood over them until
they become mountains, and then
to wait for new ones to develop, is
not a man to take hold of great
enterprises, writes 0rison SWEET
Marden, in Success. The man who
stops to weigh and consider every
possible danger or objection never
amounts to anything. He is a
small man, made for little things,
He walks around an obstacle, and
goes as far as he can easily, but
when the going gets hard he stops.
The strOngman, the positive, de-
cisiye soul who has a programme,
and who is determined to carry it
out, cuts his way to his goal re-
CARELESS of difficulties. 1t is the
wobbler, the weakened man, the
discouraged man, who turns aside,
who takes q crooked path to his
goal. Men who achieve things,
who get things done, do not spend
time haggling over perplexities, or
wondering whether they can over
come them. Apenny held close to
the eye will shut out the sun.
When a man lies down on the
ground to see what is ahead of him
a rock may hide a mountain. A
small man holds petty difficulties
so closely in view that great OBJ
jects beyond are entirely shut out
of sight. Great minds keep theil
eyes on the goal. They hold the
end so persisently in view, and i
looks so grand and desirable, tina
