Art of Tea Maxine

Practice the art of tea making when
you are all alone. Take a cup Of tea
and pass it across the table. See if
you can do it without forgetting any
thing and without upsetting it. Then
try to do it and to listen at the same
time. Pretend you are holding a con-
versation. Don't look at the cup too
steadily. Practice tea making until
you can do it without more than
glancing at the cup. It is easy. And
when you have learned it-be you rich
or poor, great hostess or small
one-you will have acquired pretty
art which will serve you in good stead
all your life. Even when you are a
great grandmother it will come in good.

Detroit Mich.-TO show his contempt
for religion Herman MANI, a contract

OF Satan, which he had erected in front
of his home here. Many religious per-
sons in Detroit are much stirred up by
the action. Menu is an avowed infidel,

1t was not long after the unwilling
that Satan had black eye and the tip
of one ear was knocked off. The black
eye represented one chew of tobacco
and the injury to the ear was the result
of stones thrown by small boys, who
found new source OF amusement in
trying to knock the head off the statue
OF his satanic majesty. Menu called
upon the police to protect his property

The statue stands more than feet
high. Satan is represented as stoop-

Menu belief that the devils greatest
stronghold is the pulpit, that his
mouthpieces are preachers, and that
churches do more harm than good.
From this pulpit the devil is looking
out, supposedly over his congregation,
and the expression on his face is one
of fiendish joy. Horns are protruding
from his head, and carved in the stone
directly in front is the big, ugly fork
with which he is supposed to prod sim

grew to such an extent that these were

SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS.
What Constitutes the Ideal Hostess
and About the Proper Selection
of Dinner Guests.

The ideal hostess will possibly differ
from the points of view of different
minds, but she who comes nearest to
satisfying every taste will cause all
guests to feel at ease and perfectly at
home while in her house. She must
possess great tact and endeavor to
make each one feel individually the ia
vored guest. She must*be quick to see
everything while seeming to see moth
ing, never looking bored and keeping
the conversational ball rolling without
any apparent effort or even seeming to
do so. An ideal hostess must be en-
tirely unselfish and let no one be
sighted or overlooked.
Now that vacation days are over and
the world has returned from the sum-
mer outing which has possibly been
spent in the woods or where much free
dom in behavior is allowed, be careful
to modulate the voice and tone down
actions to fit city life and customs
No right-thinking mother wishes her
son to choose boisterous, fippant

In district after district when the
voting was over there were more bal

enough to make the total right; in

neglect the ordinary precaution of

The real uncertainty, Tammany
thought, was Jerome The leaders
knew that the people wanted to vote
for him; they thought that the diff

mined effort was made in the daytime
to "beat up the Jerome watchers.
These were magnificent body of
men, gray-haired business men and
lawyers with more than sprinkling
of college athletes who went to the
fighting districts. It was bloody day
for many of them. During the day the
Hearst men were not much molested
because they were not believed to be
dangerous and because so many were

the seducing away of his watchers, in
spite OF everything. Then even in
Tammany Hall there was a moment of
panic. The reading of returns was
stopped. Outsiders were hustled out

went to work grimly, doggedly, to
count out Hearst, as Henry George
was counted out 10 years ago.
But counter opinions were shouted.

prevailed. The early evening crowds
at the bulletins saw the amazing spec.
tacle of Hearst's pluralities dwindling
as Jerome's mounted-though of course
they went together naturally.
Then began, too, that spectacle at
Hearst's headquarters which turned

WHEN CLIMBING STAIRS.
Remember the Exercise Is Most Bene-
fetal When the Right Methods =
iAre Observed. 49,

Stair-climbing can never be made so
easy that it will cease to be work, and
hence certain amount of it daily is sure
to be beneficial, says Mary Butler, in the
Philadelphia Press
First, stair-climbing is fine exercise
for the muscles of the legs, both for
the high flexors and thigh and knee ex-
tensors, and if judiciously used as
daily exercise it will tend to develop the
muscles of the leg and thigh, reducing
at the same time any superfluOus flesh
that may have settled there through
lack of proper use. Hence we use lad
der-climbing exercises in the gympa-
SUM for all such cases.
Second, stair climbing when done
slowly becomes excellent balance work
and is good for tn e brain. To increase
this mental effect in the gymnasium we
use ladder rounds instead of steps and
the slower pupil can walk up the
finer the balance and the stronger the
desired effect.
Third, stair climbing is good work
for heart and lungs; weak hearts may
be strengthened by judicious lessons in
it, no other apparatus being necessary
than ones own footsteps.
In all stair or ladder work the weight
is not only transferred from one foot to
the other in succession more or less rap
id, as in the walk, but the whole body
weight is lifted from one step to
another by the first leg and then the
other, and this means quite heavy work
at times.
For example, if you weigh $50 pounds
and with the right foot step up one step
(that step being exactly IL inches
high, you have lifted your lightweight
of $50 pounds exactly one foot higher;
or, as we say, you have done $50 foot
pounds" of work. If the step chances
to be "a inches high, then having lifted
yourself two feet you have done
twice as much work, or 300 foot
pounds.
Thus, when you, weighing just 100
pounds, climb ten stairs, each step
only IL inches high, you have done
just 1000 foot pounds of work, good
strong, muscular work that if done well
will surely 90 you good and if done bad
ly may injure.
Do you stout ladies wonder any long,
er at your breathless condition When
after eating hearty dinner you climb
to the third-story front room to tak5
your afternoon nap? Do you not see
that with every step you must do from
one-half as much again to twice as
much work as your wiry little neigh
Dor?
You bave no right to run up Just be-
cause you can trip up one flight and
not feel it. You perforce must take
it slowly and should rest after each
flight of steps, at least till the breath
ing becomes quiet and regular once
more.
Believe me, instead>of being bad for
you, stair climbing taken slowly and
properly will do you good, strength
enfng the muscles of legs, abdomen and
spine, stimulating the heart and lungs,
clearing the brain, aiding the circula-
tion and thus improving the digestion:
but there is a correct and an incor-
rect way of climbing stairs, hard
and an easy one,}a safe and dangerous
one.

of fashion as of wealth, rule strictly
upon applicants. Money alone cannot
procure place in the Golden Circle.
Very we'll. Money will buy boxes at
the horse show, where they are auc-
toned off, more than $500 being paid
for the best. The opera is not the
only golden circle. Wasn't there
something said about the need of a
National theater, an-er-palace of art,
where-.er-good plays by native au-
thors, and all that sort of thing, don't
you know? Let's have one!
So it is to be done. A beautiful
building is to be erected, a company
hired and good plays given. They will
undoubtedly be good, for Herr Direk-
tor Conreid will not stand for bad
work. And there will be seats at low
prices for the truly earnest-all of
which is like the royal theaters and
operas on the continent. The little
joker is in the innocent statement that
there are to be 30 boxes. Practically
the 80 box owners are to finance the
show, build the theater, guarantee the
expenses and-sit in the boxes. Their
names will be printed in the program,
just as the names Of the opera box
holders are printed in that program:
and always think that feature of
opera is funnier even than a fat tenor.
But the names will not be the same
names.
