Exercise or Die.

Every man and woman must do some
muscular work or take equivalent ex-
ercise, else they will die long before
ton involves the use of only one set of
muscles work must be found for the
other muscles, else the individual be-
comes disproportionate in form and
eventually prey to disease.
A hodcarrier. who is required to use
nearly all his muscles, exerting him
self close to the limit of his strength
fer many hours daily. never gives any
thought TO artificial exercise. for he
has no need of any. But the profess
sional man, the clerk, the typist and
the saleswoman-all these find little
real use for the muscles in their daily
employment, and they require to take
to maintain normal health. Then there
are factory operatives and the toilers
IL various trades, whose work brings
into play certain sets of muscles, while
others are out of use. These require
exercise adapted to giving employment
to the neglected muscles. There is
also a class of wealthy people who do
no regular work of any kind, who re-
quire TO follow some strength giving
sport In lieu of work. at the opposite
extreme is a class of athletes who
make business of artificial exercise
and build themselves up into noun
tains of muscle. These almost invaria-

A Real Fire Enoina.

of fires perhaps the mCst absurd was
the source of confiagration that oc
curred in Worcestershire, England. in

Grated by motor The work was not
quite completed when the company re-
ccived warning of a fire which had
broken out on farm at nearby Kemp
|rey village. However, the engine was
in sufficient running order to be sent
On forthwith under the action Of the
rewly installed motor
Unhappily the engines funnel had
tot been protected by a spark pro-
tcctor. AS q result the trail of the
lEorting mechanism was embellished
with gorgeous train of sparks. There
IN lay the cause of trouble. In lane
the fire engine met wagon loaded
with straw, which 1t promptly set on
fire. Unheeding. it hurried en- its way
and in its course presently ignited
some stacks which bordered on the
road 1t still pushed on relentlessly
however. and came to a standsti!l only
when the water tube of the motor
burst 1t was stiIl some hundreds OF
yards from its destination. and there

How and Why Some Animals Exist All
Winter Without Food.

How and Why Some Animals Exist All
Winter Without Food.
The philosophy or nature OF hiber-
nation and why and how 1t Is that the
alternating creatures can go so long
without food are interesting studies.
In the FIRST place, the creature In or
der to enable II to sustain life through
out the long winter during which 1t
hibernates Is endowed with the capac-
ity OF accommodating within Its body a
large quantity of fat. This Fat is to the
animal what well stocked coal cellar
is to fire, and until the whole of It
has been consumed the tissue Of the
body proper remains untouched. 1t
has been ascertained that animals can
endure the waste Of tissue until II
amounts to 40 per cent Of their normal
weight. Should the weight be reduced
beyond that point the result is death,
But nature comes to the rescue Of the
alternating creatures in another way,
When the Information begins, resplra'
ton and digestion almost cease On
some cases they cease absolutely. and
the circulation Is only just active
enough to sustain life. AS a conse'
quence Of this the wear and tear is re-
duced to the minimum, and the crea
ture is enabled to pull through.--New
York American.

Single as Well as Married Women
Once Carried This Title.
A curiously awkward word. II It be
a word, is Mrs" It is not spelled as
1t Is pronounced-no one but a Welsh
man or Pole would be equal to pro-

the good old English designation mis-

In the days of old, when leisure had
not become, as It is now, almost a for
gotten luxury and people were less
anxious to clip their speech, the full
pronunciation was often used, and
mistress" was not altogether elbowed
out OF existence by the vulgar ''missis. y
But nowadays mistress" has drop
ped out, and consequently the con
tracted pronunciation Of Mrs" has
prevailed and holds the field.
Another point worth noting in the
history OF the designation is that about
100 years ago and earlier mrs" was
applied quite impartially to unmarried
