Trial of Forty Thieves,

PARIS, March 1S.-Tne quiet city
of Amiens was thrown into a state of
unwonted excitement this week by a
trial, recalling the Arabian Nights
tale.
Forty thieves are now appearing be-
fore the local judges, charged with var
ious burglaries. They are placed in a
specially arranged dock, six deep, ac-
companied by large force of gend-
armes. The building is also guarded
by regiment of infantry.
The prison being more than a mile
away, the prisoners, at the conclusion
of each days audience, are chained in
three lots and placed in three vehicles
specially brought from Paris. The pre-
cautions are rendered necessary by the
known desperate character of the ma
jority of the prisoners, who are being
defended by prominent Paris lawyers.

Women Should Walk More.

Doctors who have closely studied the
matter unhesitatingly assert that walk
ing is the best exercise a woman can
engage in for the development Of her
physical charms. The woman who is
in the habit of taking a car ride every
time she wishes to travel few hun
dred yards is the one who has bad
complexion and complains Of growing
stout. She will tell you that her spine
troubles her and that her feet are rheu-
matte; that she cannot walk positively
must not do so. If you are among the
number, take a walk every day, give
up the car habit unless you have some
real riding to do or time is an object
and every day walk little farther.
An excellent thing is exercise, and If
you do not find walking agrees with
you, then take to the gymnasium. Aft
er you have tried all the indoor phys
ical exercises try the open air ones.
