Benefits of Walking.

The best, simplest, universal exercise
is that of walking. 1 can walk with en-
joyment for hours along fiat country,
and even in the parks and entertainments
of London; but attribute my health
and activity in my seventy-third year to
the steady pursuit of climbing hills,
mountains, glaciers and moors-a prac.
tice which began in my seventeenth
year in the Highlands of Scotland. Since
then I have constantly worked all round
the Alps, from Nice to the Tyrol, doing
nearly all the well-known peaks, passes
and glaciers-the Grivola in a verglas
being the worst. l have walked in the
Pyrenees, the Apennines and the
mountains of Sicily and Greece, the
Welsh, Scotch and Lake hills, the moors
of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Hampshire,
Cornwall, Surrey and Sussex. played
cricket in my school and college elevens
as bowler, and / have enjoyed tennis,
racquets, lawn tennis (Which still play)
football, rowing and skating. But none
equals walking. l have ridden all my
life, but find hunting, shooting, fishing
and golf sheer waste Of time. An Alpine
glacier-even British cragside-is
worth all the stupid forms of "sport"
put together.-FREDERIc HARRISON in
London News.

MEN HAVE MADE WAR ON ICE AND
BENEATH EARTH's SURFACE.

When the American marines and the
Colombian troops confronted each other
at Colon It looked for time "a If bat
tie was to be fought on the pier of the
steamship company. The pier IL rather
an unusual place to fight battle, but
battles have been fought In many curious
places, ranging from mountain peaks to
sewers, from ice fields to desert sands
At the battle of Monterey, In the
Mexican war, the Americans were able
to command the streets of the city with
their artillery, but they had difficulty In
dislodging the Mexicans from the houses,
So, the city being built of stone or adobe
in solid blocks of houses, the Yankees
broke through the walls from one house
to another, fighting and driving out the
enemy, 80 that the battle of Monterey
was largely fought indoors.
In one of the battles of the wars OF
William the Silent for the independence
of the Netherlands tho Spanish ships
were frozen in on the Zuyder Zee. The
Dutch came in on horseback over the
ice and attacked them. This is probably
the only battle in which cavalry was evel
used directly against ships. Severa
other cOmbats were fought between
troops on the ice in these wars, and or
one occasion the infantry is said to have
worn skates.
The battle of Austerlitz was partly
fought on frozen lake, and when the
allies were retreating across it the shot
from the French artillery, plunging into
the ice and breaking it up, caused the
death of thousands of Russians AND
Austrians.
Of the many underground battle.
which have taken place in history the
fiercest was probably that of the siege
of HARLEM in the Dutch wars. The
Spaniards mined, and the Dutch counter
mined, with equal industry, and below
the ground fierce conflict ragged.
When the Versailles troops took Paril
after the commune they chased some o.
the communist troops to the great sew
ers of the French capital, where some
desperate struggles took place.-Wash

Fashion Notes.

For travelling suits cloth is the favorite
material in beige, gray tones and dark
blue. The designs are severe and the
skirts escape the ground.
In the juvenile fashions scarlet para
soils are given prominent place, and lit
tie red socks and sandal slippers are
shown in the same vivid color.
Sweaters for children are shown but
toned down the back or on the shoulders,
while others are without buttons and
are drawn over the head. White sweat
ers are liked best, and scarlet ones are
also popular.
To keep the fullness away from the feet,
many of the newest petticoats have q
number of heavy cords at the hem, and
this arrangement serves the double pur-
pose of holding out the dress skirt a.
we'll.
In neckwear the broad lace collar ia
the favorite in both light and heavy
laces.
Afternoon frocks are made of lowered
muslins and are trimmed with the finer
lacee.

Dress Their Own Wounds.

There are not few birds that possess
a knowledge of the principles of surgery
that is not far from supernatural. The
woodcock, the partridge and some other
birds are able to dress their wounds
with considerable skill. A French
naturalist says that on several occasions
he had killed woodcocks that were when
shot convalescing from wounds previous
ly received. In every instance he found
the old injury neatly dressed with down,
plucked from the stem of feathers and
skillfully arranged over the wound, evil
IDENTIFY by the long beak of the bird. In
some instances solid plaster was thus
formed, and in others ligatures had been
applied to wounded or broken limbs.
One day he killed bird that evident
ly had been severely wounded at some
recent period. The wound was covered
and protected by sort of network of
feathers which had been plucked by the
bird from its own body and so arranged
az to form plaster completely covering
and protecting the wounded surface. 1t
had evidently acted as hemostatic in the
first place and subsequently as shield
covering the wound. The feathers were
fairly Melted together, passing alternate
ly under and above each other and form
ing a textile fabric of great protective
power.
Birds are often found whose limbs
have been broken by shot with the
fractured ends neatly joined and ligated.
NJ. Dumontell tells of wOodcock that
had been shot by sportsman on the
afternoon of a certain day. After long
search the bird was given up, but it was
discovered the next morning by an acct
dent. In the meantime the wounded
legs were found to be neatly ligated, an
exquisitely neat bandage having been
placed around each limb. The poor
bird, however, in dressing its wound,
entangled its beak with some long soft
feathers. and had it not been discovered
it would have died of starvation.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

"t,ow's l Gwine to Tell EN- Aparta''

CLOVIS I Gwine to Tell EN- Apart9"
Uncle 'Rastus, who was seeking in
formation concerning mushrooms, had
been referred by preternaturally solemn
student to the professor of botany, and,
with hat in hand, he was addressing that
dignitary.
"Would yo' mind tellin' me, Mistah
Mandrake" he said, show to 'stinguish a
mushroom FIN a toadstool?"
"Willingly," replied the professor.
SIN the first place, you must remember
that the amanita phalloides, or deadly
agaric, closely resembles the agaricus
oampestris, or edible fungus, which is
our common variety, and absolutely in
nocuous. Next, it will be necessary to
fix firmly in your mind the distinguish
ing marks Or characteristics of
the agaricus campestris, which are
these: A pileus not covered with ex-
crescence like scales; gills of brownish-
purple when mature; stalk solid and ap-
proximately cylindrical; ring near mid
die of stalk; base not dubious and not
sheathed by membrane. The distin-
gushing characteristics of the amanita
phallOides, or deadly agaric are these:
Pileus destitute of distinct excrescences;
white gills, hollow stalk, large ring and
prominent bulb at base, with membra-
nous upper margin. Bearing these points
of differentiation fully in mind. you will
never be at loss to determine which
variety you encounter in any given case"
