Lost Art of walking.


There is a most important side to
this question, Walking was an ideal
exercise, and led 10 results which none
of the more rapid forms Of exercise can
give. In rapid uaveling-in the eS-
press train, on the cyclc-all the finer
nerves, senses and vessels are rushed
ana unduly excited. But in walking
every particle Of the body is evenly and
naturally called into exercise, limbs,
muscles, lungs, chest. heart, digestive
apparatus; in short, the entire human
machine, Walking is the very best
haustod brains, weakened muscles and
Worn out nerves; it strengthens the d.
gestive organs, drives the blood away
from the tired brain, and is one Of the,
best remedies for nervousness, says the
Philadelphia Record. There is no sur
er way of curing rheumatism than by
q walk in warm weather. You have
all the advantages Of the Turkish bath,
without the danger OF impure air.
The fact that walking, according to
De Quincy, enhanced the beauty of
the eyes should have some weight
with women. And the strongest ar
gument that can be adduced is that
nature obviously intended that we
should walk. Finally, the writer eX-

ORIGIN -oF cltY eLANsa n
Most of Them Trace Their Designs TO

Military Camps.
All cities, with few exceptions, trace
the origin Of their plan to the enclosed
camp, and many still show marked fea-
lures of primitive Notifications, In
all early schemes for defense the in
closed square was considered the best.
From the time when wagons were
merely packed on the plain to the time
when buildings Were constructed with
blank walls TO the enemy, and their IA
cade to the open square, this plan has
been universally adopted; and many Of
the great market places or squares Of
famous cities stll show undeniable evil
dences of these precautions for de-
Tense, In the old city Of Brussels the
square upon which faces its wonderful
City Hall is approached by streets so
narrow that they must surely have
been constructed with the idea Of de-
tense in mind.
Were It possible to forecast the rap
id development Of cities, or TO predict
which of our many cities is to become
a metropolis. the problem might not be
such difficult one, but such unfortu-
nately, is not the case. Even the most
vivid imagination would scarcely have
been able TO predict the enormous in
crease Of population and the copse-
quent architectural development Of
modern cities. The rapid growth OF
American cities Is well known, but few
realize that the older cities Of Europe
have had a similar experience. The re-
cent increase in Berlin has exceeded
that of Chicago, ana what is true Of
Berlin is true OF many other European
centres, 1t is then not surprising to
note that in Hanover, Hamburg, Nur-
emberg, Leipsic, Leignitz, ST. Johann

ipal buildings Of great Importance have
recently been or are now being con-
structed.-Archtects and Builders

THE WORLDS INCENSE,
The Uses and origin OF THE
Ancient Perfume.

The Uses and Origin OF THE
Ancient Perfume.
Incense is the resnous pear or pear
shaped gum that exudes from a tee
found IN British Somaliland, from rear
Ber6era to Cape Guardaful. Some in
cense comes from a region adjoining
Maslat, near the Arabian coast. In
ferlor incense is found in India, but
the best and greatest quantity comes
from British Somaliland.
The incense tree is sQuatty. thorny
and unsightly like the myrhh and aca-
ella, and seldom reaches height Of
fifteen feet.
Incense is not only used in worship,
but many Orientals use it to sweeten
the breath and burn it in their houses
TO Kill disagreeabe odors. The crop
varies from 2,240,000 to S.3GO,0O0
pounds, and is gathered in the au-
tumn and brought to market by the
SomoliS during the winter MONTHS.
The price ranges from two to six am
mas -four to twelve cents per pound,
according to quality.
Incense is extensively used all over
the Orient, and last year 1,403. IA
pounds were shipped TO Bombay, which
is a great distributing point, and L.
42O'SSO pounds to Europe, the greater
portion going to Marseilles and Trieste.

that the demand for this material has

when the animal leaped upon her

shoulder, lacerating her flesh, while
with its claws it tore her clothing to
shreds, The little dog came to her de-

10000 Wounded at Harbin.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-The rela-
tive positions of the armies on the
Shakhe river are not changed. Gen
eral Sakharoff telegraphs that the Rus
slams have been bombarding Lamunt-
ing and the Buddhist temple at Lin
shinpu, while the Japanese have been
shellng the Russian position at Shak-
he and near Linshinpu.
An Associatde Press dispatch from
Mukden reports that the Japanese are
fOrtifying an important height south
of Shakhe and that neither side shows
a disposition either to advance or to
retire.
This meager but significant admis.
sion, all that the censor allows to
pass over the wires, doubtless indi
Gates that General Kuropatkin in ma
turing important plans, and distribut'
ing his forces in readiness for another
attempt to break the japanese resist
ance. The roads are now dried by
wind and frosts; the cold is intense
and flooded fields have been frozen.
Thus military movements are facili.
tated, though at the same time it will
be more difficult to carry on entrench-
ing work.
An Associated Press dispatch from
the Russian front gives a rumor that
the Russian force has made detour
to the west, arriving abreast of Lao
yang, but there is no confirmation OF
these reports.
Great Importance is attached to a
report from Toxic that 200 Russians
have crossed the Taitze river east of
Bensihu. and that 10000 are concen-
trated at Kau pass. 20 miles north
west. This may indicate the direction
of Kuropatkins next blow, or possibly
| it is intended to disconcert the Japan
ese and compel them to weaken their
| forces on the railroad.
! Whatever Kuropatkins ultimate OBJ
ject may be, there is no doubt that
he is desirous of obtaining the most
reliable information as to the number
and disposition of the force opposing
| his eastern flank. The Cossacks may
be relied upon to harass the Japanese
II line of communication, besides recon-
no.tering.
General Kuropatkin is with the cen.
ter of his army. On October 81. he
personally conveyed the congratula-
tions of Emperor Nicholas to Colonel
Putiloff and the Ninth rifles for the
capture of Lone Tree hill.
The japanese estimate that the Rus
sian losses in the battle of Shakhe
amount to 10000, is not confirmed
here. A telegram from Harbin reports
the passage north of 26,000 woundeu.
The remainder, who are quartered in
hospitals at Mukden, can not exceed
few thousand.
Lieutenant General Rezvy, COM
manding the Twenty-frst infantry di-
vision, has been appointed to the COM
mand of the Nineteenth army corps
of the Wilma district. This appoint
ment is believed to indicate the inclus-
ion of the Nineteenth corps in the Sec
ond Manchurian army.
The return of Grand Duke Nicholas
to st. Petersburg, has not evoked any
comment, and there is no further talk
of his appointment to the chief COM
maud of Manchuria.
