Soldiers Chest.

According to a circular of instruc.
tons issued by the war department,
medical officers should reject appli.
cants for admission to the volunteer
military companies If there is diff
ference Of less than two inches in their
chest measure when their lungs are
full of air and when they are empty.
The minimum chest measurement al
lowed is 81 inches. Every healthy boy
ought to be able to expand his chest
more than two inches, whether he in
tends to enlist in the national guard or
not.

Motoring Makes Fat.

Women who are afraid of growing
fat and adding adipose tissue should not
motor much. Nothing increases the
appetite like rushing through fresh
air, while the fact of sitting all day
prevents the taking of ordinary exer-
elsie. Few people walk after they ac-
quire a motor. Progression seems too
slow and too tiresome, so that, like hens
shut up in coop, they only stir to eat
II it is desired to retain the figure, a
woman should not motor every day, or
at least not all day, and should take care
to indulge in a brisk walk, ride, or a
bicycle run as we'll, in order to exercise
the muscles and keep them supple and
strong 1t is extremely easy to get fatanl
shapeless in a very short time, and as
difficult to return to ones normal con-
dition of slimness. The average motor
list is fat and blessed with an admirable
appetite.

Worse Than the Rioters

The Metz (Mo.) Times evolves this:
Allan Jamison had trying expert
ence while cutting corn for Rev. NJ. A.
Wolf in the Usage bottoms the other
day. He was working away when sud-
denly something struck him, knocking
him to the ground, where he remained
for some time in an Unconscious state.
He finally recovered, al, although
badly bruised up was able to get home.
The next day he went back to the field
in the hopes of finding out what struck
him and was rewarded. There were
two ears Of corn that had fallen from
the stalk he was cutting on. The torn
up condition of the ground indicated
that he had struggled hard to get from
under the big nubbins that held him
down. The above incident was not
reported by Rev. Mr.. Wolf, but comes
from a more reliable source namely,
Allan himself. H.. II. l.. ;. .>s -

Pattern No. 5462.-There is charm
ing air Of individuality and style
about the shirtwaist here shown, that
makes it a very desirable model. The
fronts are tucked in a most becoming
manner, and the yoke laps in double
breasted effect finished by two rows
of buttons. If a plain back is desired,
the woke may be omitted. The sleeve
is finished by deep cuff. Pongee was
chosen for the development, but other
materials, such as taffeta, linen,
madras and pique, are recommended.

Women Guests Objectionable.

AS a general rule, the leading hotels
in New York rather discourage lone
Women guests. No matter how wei
recommended they come or how GER
tain the management is of their re-
speciality, they always tack about 20
per cent. on the price OF apartments
when they are let to women. Wom-
en- do not patrOnize the bar; they do
not spend much money in the dining
room; they are inclined to make their
own coffee for the morning in their
own rooms; they tack pictures on ex-
pensive wall paper; they demand more
service than the men; they do not en-
terrain in the way that helps the no.
tel to make money; they are apt to
keep pet dog without telling the
proprietor about it in advance. When
they wear waists that button down the
back they want the housekeeper OF
the floor to come in and button them
up or down for them. They are al
ways demanding extra service of a
kind which costs the hotel money, but
they are not inclined to pay for it.

pagoda and told pa the elephant was
drinking again, and had drank a wash
tub of beer, but pa couldn't say any
thing, cause he: was doing the Arab
sheik act, and had to look digni6ed, as
though he was praying to Allah.
But just then the. band struck up,
and we started down the main street
Of Steubenyille. The people began
to cheer, cause our elephant began to
hippity-hop, and waltz sideways
across the street and back again, and
thought pa would die. In the parade
one man on horse attends to the ele-
plants, SO the sheiks don't have any
thing to say, and pa remained like q
statue, and told me and the Circassian
beauties to be calm, and trust in him
and Allah. This Allah business was
all right when the elephant waltzed,
but when we got to the next block the
beast began to stand on his hind feet,
and pa and the houris rolled to the
back end Of the howdah, and were all
piled in heap, while I held on to the
cloth of gold over the elephants head.
Pa yelled to the people on horseback
to kill the elephant, and the crowd
cheered, thinking it was the best per-
Torrance they ever saw in a free street
parade, and the animals in the cages
behind were yapping as though they
knew what was going on. The ele-
plant got down on to all fours. and
we Strengthened up in the pagoda, and
for block or so the beast only waltzed
around. AS we got to some sort OF
a pubic square, where there were
thousands of people, the stale beer

much as to say: "Now will show you
something not down on the bills" and,

Bad for the Bar.

A White Star liner arrived in New
York a few days ago from the Mediter-
ranean, bringing 120 cabin passengers,
sc of whom were women. They had the
run of the ship, even invading the smok-
ing-room, the result being that for the
first time on record, it is believed, a
transatlantic liner made a voyage
without card game, not even a hand
at whist. The bar took in only ten dol
lars during the trip. another unprece-
denied feature. Snip companies will
hardly encourage this sort of traffic in
the future

CHAPTER XIV.
ON THE HIGH PLAINS.

Mtcu u Elliot relleI, ana quite
rs much, perhaps, to Penelope's, Mrs.
Brentwood tired of Breezeland Inn in
less than a fortnight and began to
talk of returning to the capital.
Pressed to give reason for. her dis
satisfaction, the younger sister might
have been at a loss to account for
1t in words; but Elinor's desire to cut
The outing short was based upon pride
and militant shame. After many trap
lettings she had succeeded in making
her mother confess that the stay at
Breezeland was at Ormsby's expense;
and not all of Mrs. Brentwoods petu-
liant justifyings could remove the sting
pf the nettle of obligation.
There is no. reason in the world
why you should make so much of it:
1 am your mother, and I ought to
know" was Mrs. Brentwood's dictum.
"You wouldn't have any scruples If
we were his guests on the Amphitrite
or in his country house on Long Is
Hand"
"That would be different" Elinor
contended. 1--WE are not his guests
here; We are his pensioners"
"Nonsense!" frowned the mother.
'1sn't it beginning to occur to you that
beggars shouldn't be choosers? And,
besides, so far as you are concerned,
you are only anticipating a little"
1t was an exceedingly injudicious,
not to say brutal way Of putting it; and
the blue-gray eyes flashed fire.
Cant you see that you are daily
making marriage between us more
and more impossible?" was the bitter
rejoinder. Elinor's meter was cool
composure under fire, but she was not
nlways able to compass it.
Mrs. Brentwood famed herself Wig
orously. She had been aching to have
It out with this self-willed young wo-
man who was playing fast and loose
with attainable millions, and the hour
had struck.
"What made you break it off with
BrookeS Ormsby?" she snapped; add
Ing: Il don't wonder you were
ashamed to tell me about It,"
81 did not break it off; and was
not ashamed" Elinor had regained
her self-control, and the angry light
In the far-seeing eyes was giving place
to the cool gray darkness which she
cultivated.
"That is what Brookes told me, but
didn't believe him.; said the mother
TITS all wrong, anyway, and I more
than half :in1iave that David Kent ia nj
the bottom of it." ~"
Elinor left her chair and went to
the window, which looked down on
the sauatorium, the ornate parterre
and the crescent driveway. These
family chickering's were very trying tc
her, and the longing to escape them
was sometimes strong enough to over
ride cool reason and her innate sense
of the fitness of things.

Guiding the shallow bitches on the
sides, plowed and cultivated. The &C
companying sketch shows public
highway where one side Of it was left
without cultivation or care for years
and all is overgrown with coarse weeds,
while on the other side, even the ditch
is carefully plowed and cultivated with
good stand of wheat, growing upe to
the wheel track. Of course the farmer
could not collect any damages if the
grain thus grown on the right of pub
lie highway should be destroyed, but
there is an unwritten law which all
will respect that no one will wantonly
destroy any of the grain SO grown.
Where this practice is continued for
number of years, the roadbed will be
gradually raised until it becomes high
and dry and little or no grading is re-
Quired.

FIX UP THE ROADSIDES.
How Farmers in Minnesota" Utilize
the Otherwise Waste Land
in Crop Growing.

The law of Minnesota calls for pub
lie highway four rods wide and it has
been the general practice to leave the
full four rods uncultivated. In most
cases this space has been overgroWn
with weeds only, that were not even
cut down once a year. In this way
many OF the most obnoxious weeds
have filled the adjoining fields and
been spread over the adjoining coun'
try by sticking to the wagon wheels
whenever the roads were wet. This
has not been the only trouble-there
were thousands Of acres lying idle ev
cry year, because overgrown by weeds.
But Lewis Olsen writes to the Farm
and Home that a gradual change for
the better is being worked out by the
rapidly growing tendency among farm
ers to utilize all waste land along the
roadsides by cultivation and growing
grain or grass up to the very road
track actually in daily use. AS the law
