Takes Dog Un a Steeple

Accompanied by his pet dog, Fred
Sutherland, better known as the thu
man fly" scales heights that would
make the common person i'll from
freight and dizziness. A short time
ago the authorities of Most Holy Trim
ity Catholic Church, 9th and Porter
streets. decided their spire needed re-
pairing and that the large wooden
cross at the top needed to be replaced
with a larger one of galvanized iron.
Sutherland was sent for. The top Of
the spire is 240 feet above the side
walk.
81 can go up it in two minutes said
he, and he very nearly made good his
assertion. 1t was only when the cross,
Axe feet, had to be lowered that any
real danger presented itself. Being OF
wood and having been in position since
the church was built, it had somewhat
rotted, and, giving V ay, was near to
throwing Sutherland from the steeple.
Sutherland is a Californian by birth,
but has done steeplework in all parts
of this country and Europe. Suther-
land had his dog slung in little ham,
mock on his side while working at the
top of Trinity spire. The dog has as
little regard for height as his master.

Diplomacy.

In a Cleveland hotel the other day
a manufacturer told this anecdote of
the late Senator Hanna:
Senator Hanna, like all good man
aging heads, was continually walking
through his mill, examining this,
watching that-picking up, in a word,
all sorts of good ideas for the better
ment of his business.
"One morning, in the machine shop,
the Senator overheard a little red
headed boy say:
Il wish | had Hanna's money, and
he was in the poorhouse.'
Rather amused, the Senator return
ed to his office, and ordered the boy ID
be brought in to him.

a tiny, embarrassed figure, before the
shrewd and kindly millionaire.
$50 you wish you had my money
and l was in the poorhouse, eh" the
Senator said We'll, suppose your wish
came true, what would you do?

out, sir.

Resting as a Fine Art.

Few women know how to rest as
they should. They think that they
must undress and go to bed to De
thoroughly comfortable. This is mis-
take, provided there is a tabouret or
little footstool in the room on winch
the feet may rest while the other part
of the body is supported by a chalf.
One is rested in even a shorter time
by putting the feet on something that
is higher than the head. You can read
and rest comfortably in this fashion.
If only women could relax they
would rest more in ten minutes than
In hours of so-called resting with tense
muscles. Often, after lying down for
an hour, woman will get up saying
that she feels more tired than before
No wonder; her muscles were unre-
laxed.
Rest without relaxation is impossi-
BILE. Let the bed, couch or chair bear
the whole weight of the body. Imagine
that you have not the power to lift
limb. Loosen the tension both of mind
and body, and in a short time you will
feel renewed strength.
1t is not easy to learn to thus utterly
relax, for it requires decided effort
of the will, but it is one which is very
well worth while Correct position of
the body, poise, rhythm of movement,
abdominal breathing, relaxation
these, and the cultivation of a con-
tented mind and cheerful spirit, will
transform the drudgery of daily toll
In household cares into a pleasure and
a Joy.
Many women, who stay up late ev-
cry night and are obliged to be up
early every morning, have their nerves
worn to rags merely because the great
nerve center, the brain, does not get
sufficient time for repairing the wear
and tear incident to, the days work.
This repair only takes place during

Interesting Listening.

The art of interested listening has
been neglected in late years. The cas-
ual converse tionalist has the mortifica-
ton of seeing his listeners eyes rove
hither and thither restlessly about the
room, while his whole attitude is one
of inattentiOn. Naturally enough. the
talker feels that he is making bore
OF himself, and shuts up abrutly, and
oftentimes somewhat huffily, while If
he be an old person he concludes that
good manners are lacking in the young
er generation. To be interested in
other people, with a personal interest
which is not in the least the prying
impertinence of small-minded people,
is distinct attribute to grace of char
acter. 1t is, besides, one of the great
est compliments that can be paid to
the other person. Like or dislike him,
but nevertheless be interested.

How to MANAGE Children

In too many households there are
noisy, unruly, quarrelsome children.
who make themselves a nuisance from
morning till night. Their parents look
forward to the time when they can be
put to bed and they may get rid of
them, and yet who is more to blame
for the condition of things than the
parents themselves?
1t is only children who have been
sadly managed or carelessly brought
up that make themselves a bugbear
to their elders. Of course. allowance
must be made for difference in DISPOSE.
ton. Still, when children are disagree
able and a nuisance, it is almost al
ways because they are mismanaged
When they are naturally inclined to
be bad-tempered and mischieyous
there is more need for them to be
wisely managed. Children that are
delicate or are ailing require a great
deal of kindness, but a firm hand as
well, or they will become unbearable
cranks.
one very common reason why chill
dren are unruly is that they are de-
prived of things they ought to have
and supplied with things they ought
not to have. 1t is a life study to find
out what is best to provide for the
physical well-being and comfort of
children.
How often is it the case that chill
dren are naughty because they are
thirsty or hungry, or because they
have been allowed to eat all day or
been led improper food. Sleep is an
other very important factor in a
child's life, and late hours bring about
ill-temper.
The sure way to spoil a child's dis
position and temper is to give him
thing when he cries for it. 1t is a
good rule to give a child willingly all
that he asks for. as long as you know
it is nothing that VIII hurt him.
