Look to Your Walk.

,ok to your walk. 1t has more 10
do with your success or failure than
you perhaps dream Of. Don't slouch.
Don't wabble Don't shuttle. Don't
strut. Walk like man who is deter
mined TO play a mans part in life, with
head erect and feet planted firmly on
the ground.
One may see on the streets of a city
every day many people who are walk
Ing failures There is not the slightest
energy in their movements. Their whole
bearing gives testimony of their weak
ness. How do we know that they are
failures? Nothing is simpler. There is
a subtle connection between the mind
and the body. The mental attitude is
reflected ia the spontaneous movements
Of the body. and you can very quickly
tell by mans walk and general bear

progressive and earnest and his whole

Saltness of the Sea.

The two great causes Of very grad
nal increase in the satness OF the sea
are the solvent powers Of water ana
the process Of evaporation. BY their
solvent powers rain, rivers and springs
draw salts out Of the land and carry
them TO the sea. In evaporation the
sun. as an enormous pump, Is ever
drawing up pure water, leaving all sol
Ids behind. ON the other hand, many
marine organisms. plants and animals
are continually extracting mineral mat
ter from the sea wherewith to build up
the solid parts of their bodily frames.
Whenever the point OF saturatlon IS
reached salt is deposited. as In the salt
pans Of the Caspian. the Dead sea. Salt

Valuable Queen Bees.

Just as there are valuable strains III
horses. cattle and other stock. so there
are varieties OF queen bees which are
worth many hundred times their
weight in gold. The most valuable
strain is the Italian, and many Italian
bee farmers demand and receive WITH
out question prices ranging from 500
TO $500 for a single queen bee Oh d
certain kind. Such bees are sent all
over the world. The owner OF a bee
farm near ottawa. Canada. goes 10
Europe annually and brings back with
him bees OF an aggregate value OF
thousands OF dollars. He is enabled
through the agency of an Italian hrih
TO effect an insurance upon the most

were the papers of the fugitive vessel.
These proved her to be Il SLAYER OF the

The sight OF birds is extraordinary,
and the simple fact that the eye OF

Machinery Tones.

Engineers Judge of the condition OF
their machinery by the tone it gives
out while running Every engine,
whether stationary or locomotive, has
n particular tone Of its own. The en-
gineer becomes accustomed TO that,
and any departure from it at once ex-
cites Il suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what Is
the matter; he may have no ear for
music. but the change in the tone OF
his machine will be ut once perceptible
and being instantly recognized, will
cause him TO start on an immediate In
vestigation.

crowd following the man, was shot
down with a bullet through the left
groin. Joseph Besser, formerly Kan

TAMMANY ORGAN
NOMINATES MCCLELLAN
New York Daily News Opens What Is
Said to Promise Strong Campaign

NEW YORK. June 25.-The New
York Daily News. which has recently
changed hands and has come out as a
straight Democratic newspaper and is
recognized as the organ of Tammany
Hall, will tomorrow print a three page
article advocating Mayor George B.
Mcclellan as the nominee Of the DEM
ocratic party for the presidency.
On account of the papers policy,
knowledge of the publication has Gre
ated considerable speculation in local
political quarters, where it is construed
as indicating the beginning Of a strong
campaign to nominate Mcclellan.
The News claims Mcclellan to be
''the one man whose election would
mean certain party success. The eyes
of the North, East, South and West
are upon him." McClellan's record on
most public questions is set forth, re-
peating speeches delivered while he
was in congress.
