How to Walk upstairs.

"There are bat few persons who
knowhow TO walk upstairs properly"
said a well known physician. "Usu-
ally a person will tread on the ball
of his foot in taking each step, spring
ing himself up to the next step.
This is very tiresome and wearing
on the muscles, as it throws the en-
tire susrSnded weight Of the body
on the muscles of the legs and feet.
You should in walking or climbing
stairs seek for the most equal dis
tribution of the body's weight pos
sible. In walking up stairs your
feet should be placed squarely down
on the step, heel and all, and then
the work should be performed slow
ly and deliberately. In this way
there is no strain upon any particu'
lar muscle, but each one is doing it's
duty in natural manner, The man
who goes upstairs with a springins
step you may be sure is no philoso-
pher, or at least his reasoning has
not been directed to that subject"

occasion he asked the famous Still
ingfeet how it was that, he always
read his sermons before him, when
he was informed that he always
preached without a book elsewhere.
StillingAeet answered something
about the awe Of so noble congre-
CATION, the presence Of so great and
wise a prince, with which the king
himself was very well coptentcd.
"But pray" continued Stillingaeet,
"will your majesty give me leave to
ask you a question? Why do you
read your speech hes when you can
have none of the same reasons ?"
"Why, truly, DOCTOR" replied the
king, "your question is very per-

Most people will be somewhat sur
prised to hear that the idea Of wom-
en- requiring escort, especially of a
really protective nature, is of com:
paratively modern origin, says con-
tributor to the Grand Magazine,
But such appears to be the case.
Nothing strikes one more forcibly
in the study Of medieval literature
than the absolute freedom women
enjoyed to travel and wander alone
without fear of molestation. The
times were unsettled, undoubtedly,
and men lived for fighting only; but,
nevertheless, the helpless and de-
fenseless were safe enough, so far as
one can JUDGE from contemporary
literature. / do not deny that they
came to grief occasionally, bat as a
general rule men respected the Other

The Story Of Napoleon's Bees.
Napoleon l., wishing to have an
imperial emblem more ancient than
the feur-de-lis, adopted the bee un,
der the following circumstances /:
When the tomb Of Childeric, father
of Clovis, was opened in 1853 there
were found more than 800 of what
the French heralds mistook for bees,
"of the purest gold, their wings be-
ing inlaid with a red stone like car
nelian." These were, in truth, what
are in French called feurons, orna-
ments supposed to have been sprin-
killed. on the harness of a war horse.
These "bees" were sent to Louis
XIV, but it was Napoleon who had
them sewn over his imperial robes,
as emblematic of the activity and
enterprise of his dynasty. 1t has
been held in modern days that the
French ileur-de-lis is really derived
from a bee with outspread wings,
and if this is so the royal and the
imperial emblems originate in a
similar source.
