sTAIR.CLIMelNd AN ART.
Grace and Muscle Jesuit From Do.
ing II Properly.

All the beauties of oldea days were
painted upon the stairs. They fully
understood the artistic value Of a
graceful pose upon handsome stair
case
If a woman knows how to so up
stairs gracefully she borrows height
and dignity and shows off hand
some gown advantageously.
Stair pictures have been very
much the vogue in the East the last
season. Many society women have
posed in this fashion and made love.
ly pictures. Pose and gown are the
essentials.
Many women go up stairs awK-
wardly and ungracefully. They think
chiefly of the climb, and not Of how
they look.
The figure should not be rigid, but
the shoulders should be held erect.
One should keep the shoulders well
back in descending and the head well
up.
From the standpoint Of physical cul.
ture there is nothing quite the equal
of stair climbing. 1t strengthens the
heart; makes the liver active and lin
bers up the muscles. 1t is the most
graceful of all exercises.
Most women take pains to do as lit
tie of 1t as possible.
The physical culture rule is to climb
with the knees without making use OF
the muscles of the back. But this Is
very difficult. The knees grow very
tired. The Is a distinct art in throw
ing ones self forward until one goes
up natu"R;.y and easily. But one must
not double Up nor bend the shoulders
Most women puff when going VI
stairs. But this is a sign of a veal
pair of lungs. Others groan and grunt
but this means tender muscles and {
weak heart. The woman VINO arrives
at the head Of the stairs dizzy anC

physical culture. And the woman whC
cannot climb at all is in sad condi
ton physically. She should begin a
the very lowest rounds of the gym
nasium ladder.
1t is worth any woman's while t
learn to go up stairs easily and grace
fully.

A GREAT SAVING.

Here is an amusing tale from
Germany about a man who thought
he was very clever fnancier, and
yet does not seem to have had quite
as much sense as a boy who knows
enough to go in when it rains:
A barge was being towed up the
Ncckar from Mannheim to Heidel-
berg, and a shoemaker on the tramp,
with a large knapsack on his back,
came up and asked the bargeman
how much he would charge him for
ride on the boat. The bargeman,
who was a bit of a wag, replied !:
"Fifteen kl,uzers; but if you help
pull, only six." The shoemaker
thought the matter over for a
minute or two, and, calculating that
he would save nine kreuzers by
helping to pull, threw his bag into
the boat and cheerfully tugged at
the rope all the way to Heidelberg,
when he forked out the six kreuzers
and shouldered his knapsack again.

Tillr0an Is identified.

Senator " .llman tG,Is a story on
himself as to how he was identified by
post Office money order clerk when
he first arrived at the capital city.
After being in the city few days
he dropped in at the post office to cash
a money order.
"Do you now any one here who
could identify you?" asked the clerk

The clor'. smiled then asked the
senator if he didn't have some letters
or papers that would make him known
to the post office authorities.
The senator had on a new suit that
morning, and had neglected to trans
fer his letters, but he had his pocket
book with him. Digging down in his
trousers pocket, he drew forth his
wallet and proceeded to search for an
article of Identification, but could find
nothing but a small photograph Of
himself.

Nervous Brideqrooms.

"Bridegrooms are sometimes ner.
vous; brides never" said the clergy
man.
"A young butcher during his wed.
ding ceremony got horribly tangled up
with an unlighted cigar. He found
himself, in his nervousness, with the
cigar in his left hand when the sol
emn rite began. To put the ring on
the brides finger he hurriediy trans
ferred the cigar to his right hand.
When the right hand came into play,
in his confusion he stuck the cigar "a

he had to speak. | took the cigar

church: I, Mary, take thee, John, to
be my lawful welded wife,"

sanitary. But the tenant, an old man,
appeared be IRE the council and told
a remarkable story Tin stay of execu-
ton" He stated that he was 70 years
old, and live in the cottage with his
wife and three children. For 60 years
there had not been a case of illness in
his family. n's father and mother
lived in the ,ottage be re him; his
father died at the age of SO and the
mother at 80. He did not think that
there could be much wrong with the
cottage in the face of these facts. In
reply to the clerk the old fellow said
that personally he had never had a
doctor, and the only time a medical
man had been in his cottage was when
his little son had scalded his leg.
Under the exceptional circumstances
the council decided to adjourn the
matter for further inquiries to be
made.

Champion Of those lmpor-
tant measures.
The defeat of Congressman Burton
for the mayoralty of Cleveland, which
will retain in Congress this forceful
champion of more adequate appropria-
tions for rivers and harbors of the
United States, has important bearing
on river and harbor bills at the next
session. The National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, which will hold its
next convention in Washington, De-
cember 4-5-6, has blazed the way for a
radical change in the attitude Of Con-
gress toward rivers and harbors bills.
When he was chairman of the House
committee on Rivers and Harbors,
Congressman Burton publicly declar-
ed that the investigations and work
of the Rivers and Harbors Congress
had brought about the new impetus
given to the waterway and harbor
improvement projects. That organic
alton has been able to pl owe with fig
ures its determined contention that
appropriations Of @5o,ooo.ooo q year
are needed to catch up with accumu-
lated needs Of the country, which
government engineers say amount to
$40o, 200 900.

what was probably the most thorough
