A Womnn,s WALK.

Walking badly is a defect commonly
seen. Let any one who doubts it look
from a window that commands a view
of public thoroughfare, and note how
few of the women who pass by hold
themselves well or move gracefully.
Imagine the scene is stage, and re
gard people critically, as if they were
actors or actresses. At once their
method of webbing, or slouching, or
striding, or hobbling, or dragging will
show up in a way that would be ridicu-
lous ON the stage, where a good walk
Is the first thing cultivated Many
women walk like wornout cart horses,
making a labor of every step, without
ease, grace or lightness. The general
fault of bad walkers is that they rest
OF the heel longer than ON any other
part of the foot. That this is very
common defect can be seen by looking
at the snapshot photographs reproduc-
ed in the papers, most of which depict
some one resting firmly on his heel and
showing the whole sole of his foot to
the observer. The toe should strike the
ground first The wearing of high
heels accounts in measure for the
fact that women SO often put down the
heel first.

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, the In
ventor of the telephone, in a London IN,
terview said that the problem Of aeria.
navigation had been solved, and that
America was ahead of the rest Of tho
world in the development of flying ma
chimes heavier than air. Prof. Bell gives
the first credit to Octave Cbanute Of Chi
cago, to whose efforts much of the pro
gress in America is due. The only aues-
ton that is left, said Prof Bell, is that
of improving the machine created by the
Wright brothers. Incidentally he let out
the fact that the aeroplane constructed
by the late Prof. Langley of the Smith
sonian is to be tried again by his assist
ant, Mr.. Manley. who risked his life in
the first experiment when machine and
man were plunged into the Potomac river
after a short fight. Prof Bell went to
England 70 receive the degree OF doctor
Of science. which was conferred upon him
by Oxford. The professor will continue
his experiments at Cape Breton island
this summer, and will propel his kites
with a specially constructed engine OF
fifteen horsepower. weighing 40 pounds.
He expected to get machine that viii
support a man and the necessary equip
ment at low velocity.

FOND OF HORSE sAUsAGEs.
Thousands OF Animals Exported ts
the Continent for Food.

Thousands of Animals Exported ts
the Continent for Food.
Thousands of the best horses in the
United Kingdom, thrown out of EN-,
ployment by the advent of the motor
car, are being exported to the cont.
nent for food, many of them being
made into sausages.
The United Kingdom, the largest i'm.
porter in the world of cattle and sheep
for slaughtering purposes, is oddly
enough, now the largest exporter OF
horses for the same purpose.
Consul D. w. Williams at Cardiff
says the number of horses, which now
average one for every twenty-five In.
habitants, has varied very little from
100000 for fifteen years. but the
number exported for all purposes rose
from 1852 in 1901 to ALTOS in 1905
and 60,414 in 1906.
The exporting of horses for breeding
and other purposes had been profitable
for many years, but the increase since
1901 is altogether due to the trade in
horse meat in certain continental coun-
tries
This is apparent from the fact that
only 10000 of the number exported in
1905 were valued at more than 500
each.
Belgium seems to be the principal
buyer of old horses and the British ex-
ports toa that country in 1905 showed
3,005 at under S25 and 1884 at $25 to
$50. The average price of ordinary
horses. ponies excepted, is $2735, but
fat horses have sold for $50 or more.
The best horsefiesh is sold for 10 to
IL cents pound, poorer parts for ~
TO 91b cents, and the residue is made
into sausage. This sausage is redder
than the ordinary kinds and Is dim
pied with pieces of fat" 1t is said
to be the staple food of many people
1t appears that the trade in the
Netherlands is also growing, for the
British exports were 1888 in 1904, val
ued each under sos, and 3,S9S at SOS
to $50. and in 1905 the number was
1.161 under $25 and 1903 at SO to
$50.
The growing demand for horse meat
on the continent is due chiefly to the
shortage and high prices Of other
meats.
Sausage is also a popular form of
meat in several countries among class
es who for various reasons have no
inclination to buy canned meats.

with the keen eye of jealous love, easily

A Question of Marriage propo..

Replying to the question, SHOULD
women propose marriage?" a certain
great man says:
why, you are centuries too late in
asking that question. Women have
always proposed and always will pro-
pose.
The most splendid thing on earthlis
a good woman. and when. with all her
attractiven IS, she makes up her mind
that 1t would be well for her to be the
wife of some good man, and that it
would be equally well for him, she cap
lures him as easily as a regiment cap
lures one corporal. 1t does not make
any difference whether her tongue pro-
poses or not. Her eyes propose. her
smile proposes, her whole beaming ma
ture proposes.
Until man gets from a woman d
proposition OF that kind he had better
not make proposition of his own, I'M
less he wants to be made to feel ridlcu-
lous all his lifetime

The Plain Girl.

Plain girls, knowing ones say, make
the best wives. This is one of those
broad congratulations which are a lit
tie more than half-truths, but are not
whole truths. A better way TO phrase
the rule would be to say that plain
girl is more likely than pretty girl
to make a very satisfactory wife for
a man of intelligence.
Good looks are more often a girls
misfortune than her fortune. A pretty
girl soon finds out that she can attract
men; and usually she takes a delight
in manifesting her powers. The vice
grows upon her and occupies much of
her thoughts. Her mind, under the
influence, is disposed to clothes and
friyolity. She spends her hours before
the mirror instead of before her books.
Men pour silly batteries into her eager
ears. She is not aware that men make
compliments for sport and think moth
ing of such pretty perjuries. Adj
mirers make light of her faults or
transmute them into merits. Schooled
in adulation, it is small wonder that
the pretty girl in so many cases be
comes conceited, silly, vain, and, in a
general way, lightheaded.
On the other hand, the plain girl is
driven to make herself attractive for
more enduring qualities. She must
make accomplishments, intelligence,
knowledge. take the place of beauty.
She develops in her character moral
strength. She makes the most of her
mental gifts. She learns TO know
things and to do things. When a man
marries girl merely for her pretty
face and figure he is sure to tire of her
unless she has mental and moral
charms to support her physical
charms. When man has been mar
ried five years he hardly knows
whether his wife is pretty or plain.
He knows only whether she is dear to
him or not. And the qualities that en-
dare and endear are the interior quail
tiles; fidelity, intelligence, true com
panionableness, moral rectitude, good
sense.-San Francisco Bulletin.
