with four parts sand makes a
good block, one that grows
stronger with age. Mr.. Conner
states that he is able to turn out
the blocks cheaper than brick.
He can turn out six different
designs any one OF which is
beautiful. Mr.. Connor has but
one machine working at present,
but will soon install another.
He has made arrangements to
furnish the material for half a
dozen Minot buildings already.

 Cross step position back right means that the right toe is to be pointed be- hind the left foot, heel raised and turned to the left When you come to alternate with a jump you will see that it does not differ from. the front cross.
 The step positions are quite enough for the first lesson. If you are in earn est however. you must make up your mind to devote at least a quarter or an hour each day to the work after 1t once gets under headway. and two quarter hours are better.
 At the second lesson. take a climb uphill. You say there is no hill in your boudoir; never mind. Imagine one. Stand in the middle of your floor and lift your feet, right, left. right, left. as if you were taking giant strides up the steepest mountain in the world. Climb until you are almost out of breath. Tug upon the leg muscles at every step. It is well to set yourself a certain number of steps to take in this climb, otherwise there will be no way of de- terulinSng when you reach the top of your homemade mountain. Let the top grow higher day by day Take thirty steps the first day, fifty the next, then sixty, and so on. You will soon find a hundred easy to accomplish. But fifty steps, properly taken. are worth more than 200 done slightingly. To do the thing properly you must draw the knee up against the chest until you | feel conscious of the taxed cords In the back of the leg.
 The next exercise is taken sitting Seat yourself on a straight chair with out cushions. Place the feet together on the floor. side by side. and touching each other the full length. Slowly raise the legs until they are directly out in front, knees rigid. Hold them | fin this position while you slowly count | twenty. Lower, count ten, raise again for twenty counts. Later on you can hold them for a longer time before they begin to tremble.
 You must provide yourself with a soft and heeIless pair of slippers for all these exercises, or else take them in your stocking feet. The feet must be free and the soles fiat on the floor. This rule is especially important in the next exercise.

Never mind which; either one sl"es opportunity for the work'
 Leg exercises can easily be taken In Fl small space. although the dancing stens will be more pleasant If you have a baIl in which to execute them. But between the bed and the dresser .s snace enough to allow you full course of leg exercises.
 Dancing is a splendid leg developer. Tn any gymnasium which oHers spe- cial movements for this particular neeo you will find that upon the elementary dance steps are based all the move ments which develop slender cah or reduce a fieshy one.
 Ballroom dancing is not the best Tor this purpose. It has its value. but lt is limited to so narrow a scope that much cannot be accomplished. Tne modern waltz is so gentle glide that 1t cannot be called exercise. The two step accomplishes rather more. Bul dancing as physical training, means much more than this. It bends ana twists the limbs, stretches them ano uses all their muscles.
 Dancing IS far more than a, means of developing the leg. and It must be treated by itself. But the fundamen- tai positions can be adapted for the purpose we are now considering aho used in a small space.
 Begin with step position right and left. Starting from the original stand Ing position. which means heels to- gether, toes turned out, point the night toe while placing the right foot step to the right. Repeat rapidly. stiffening the leg as you put it out and raise its heel high. If you will reach down and feel the right calf you wilI notice that 1t seems to become hard with the tension, and that 1t relaxes or becomes soft when you replace the foot The hardening is caused by the tension of the muscles and this de- velops them and increases the size oi the calf.
 Every day when you begin the lee work, take step position right ten times. left ten times, then alternate ten times. Then give little sprins as you alternate. placing one foot out and returning the other to place al the same time. and with the same spring. In this movement the chiei benefit lies, for the jar is what pro- duces the greatest results of all.
 In these movements as in all physi' cal training, remember the rule thai excessive work reduces weight. milk work stimulates and increases. Tht movements do not differ. but you mus determine for yourself whether vol will take them lightly or violently.
 step position forward left and righ Is easily understood from the above The foot moves forward instead of t' the side. Begin by performing thu movement, standing as before; finalll alternate with light spring, whicl really converts it into a dance step. foe directly to the rear.

Then reverse. drawing the heels toward yourself and stretching forward the toes Repeat number of times, say ten at first and gradually more.
 All of these leg exercises are good for something more than shapeliness. If your ankles are weak they will serve as strengtheners. Some people are greatly inconvenienced by ankles that have a tendency to turn at the least provocation. and the weakness is really dangerous. for 1t often causes a seri- ous fall The exercises should be used as a safeguar1. One who has sprained
 an ankle at any time is liable to a turn
 unless the cords are properly strength
 ened.
 Tn one pretty exercise the dancer has her arm curved gracefully above her head while she raises one foot. There is no reason why the arm ex- ercises should not be combined with any of these movements. In this way ] the entire circulation will be better stimulated. But as the leg movements
 concern us at present. pay particular attention to the positiol of the foot. First it is raised and placed against | the other leg at point below the

NOT cARNEGlE's HANDWRITING.
Trustee OF Mrs, ChadvicIS's Assets
Calls on New York Financier.


CLEVELAND, O., March 6.-Trus-
tee of the Chadwick assets, Nathan
Loeser, and County Prosecutor Har-
vey II. Keller called by appointment
upon Andrew Carnegie at the home Of
Sylvester Il. Everett in this city. Mr..
Loeser brought with him the famous
S5,000,000 note and the equally famous
trust agreement The officials obtain
ed specimens of Mr.. CaTnegie's hand
writing for the purpose Of comparing
1t with the writing on the paper which
Mrs. Chadwick used as security for
many of her transactions. Mr., Car
negie was amused when he saw the
documents bearing his name. The dis
similarity between the signature
which Mr. Carnegie wrote for Mr..
Keller and the signature which was
reputed TO be his on the bank paper
was marked.
A second purpose of the visit to Mr..
Carnegie was TO learn If Mr.. Carnegie
could be dispensed from coming for
the second trial which Mrs Chadwick
and her husband will have to undergo
upon state indictments.
Mr.. Carnegie said that he was will
ing to come TO Cleveland in the inter-
est of justice as often as necessary,
that he regarded 1t as his duty as a
citizen to do so and that every citizen
should aid in the punishment Of crime
wherever found.
Mr.. Carnegie said that he would be
in court at $3.50 in the morning to be
sworn as a witness in the govern
ment's case.
Professor Gould OF Cleveland, a
handwriting expert, was present dur
ing the conference between Mr.. Car
negie and the trustee and Prosecutor
Keller and made some interesting
comment upon the two styles of writ
ing as shown by the alleged forgeries
and the genuine signature Of Mr.. Car
negie.
Ex-Federal Judge Francis ]. Wing,
who has been retained to assist j. p.
Dawley in the defense of Mrs. Chad
wick, said last night that he had no
idea as to how long the trial would
last; neither would he give any init
nation as to what the defense would
be.
Mr.. Carnegie, in the course of his
talk with Prosecutor Keller and Trus-
tee Loeser, repeated his former state
p,apto that ha hid nayor mot Mrc
Chadwick; had, never even heard of
her until the financial crash in the
woman's financial affairs came. In
asmuch as the great ironmaster and
