Austrian Ice Sticks.

In Austria ''ice sticks" are manu-
featured at profit. A series of poles
is arranged so that the water will fall
slowly over each one in the series. OF
course, the water in the winter time
freezes, forming large icicles. When
the icicles have attained the proper
size the employees of the ice plant"
come around with carts, break off tho
great sticks of ice and haul them
away to a place where they ere put
In storage. OF course, it is much
easier to handle a large quantity of
ice in this way than it is to cut II
from some stream and then pack 1t
away There may. however, be diff
ference in quality between stick ice
and lake or river ice. The Path
finder.

SPANKING LEADS TO COURT.
Twenty Five YearoId stepdaughte
Causes Farmers Arrest.

Milford. Del.-Alleged to have taken
the privilege of spanking his pretty
25-year-old stepdaughter, Miss Mary
Bennett, as If she were a baby, Henry
Clay Jones, a prominent and well-to-do
farmer living near Milford, was held
under 81 900 bail for his appearance at
the April term of court by Squire
Fisher.
The trouble grew out of dispute
over butter and eggs between Jones
and Miss Bennett, with whom Jones
lives, as his wife at her death left the
property to her daughter and son by
a former marriage.
Miss Bennett testified that, after she
had been seized by the arms without
provocation and thrown to the floor,
Jones proceeded TO administer an old
fashioned spanking. "as mother used
to do" Miss Bennett said she was
Frustrated by the shock and DR.. James

jured internally. Jones claimed that
he only brushed the girl aside, but
Miss Benefits story seemed to satisfy
the court, and Jones was held on a
charge of aggravated assault.

place near the treasury; but how 1t
seems that the excellent representa-
ton of the man and a thoroughly
creditable work Of art Is not to receive
the recognition which his grateful
countrywomen SO earnestly and hon.
estly tried to secure for him. The
originators of the Spinner Memorial
association have come 60 the conclu-
sion that the statue never will be
given a conspicuous place in the city
Of Washington, although they have not
ceased their efforts to have the mem.
DRY of Gen. Spinner SO honored.
The statue was completed early in
the administration of President Cleve-
land. Mrs. John A. Logan and others
made application to Secretary of the
Treasury Carlisle to have the statue
placed upon one of the approaches to
the treasury building, guaranteeing
that the government should not be put
to one cent of cost in having the work
DONE Mr. Carlisle refused the appeal
Of the committee, saying that he felt
satisfied that he did not have the au-
thority to grant such request, and
that there never had been statue
erected to any of the men who had
served as the head OF the great de-
partment.
The sculptor, Mr.. Elliott, died and
the statue was removed from his stu
dio to the Corcoran Art gallery, with
the understanding it could be removed
at any time the women found suit
able place for it, From that day to the
present the work of art has occupied
an obscure place in the basement of
the gallery, where it seldom would be
seen or recognized if not pointed out
by some one familiar with its history.
The women of the treasurer's Office
adored Gen. Spinner. He was their
mentor, guide. philosopher and friend.
But for his stalwart appeals there
might have been no women in the de-
partments. And he had much to con-
tend with Salmon Chase, who was
secretary of the treasury at the time.
was lukewarm over the proposition.
Chiefs of several of the bureaus actu.
ally sneered at what some of them
called visionary and wild conception,
and predicted all sorts of evil results
from It, The old treasurer was not
dismayed. however. He was fighting
good fight and he won.

l shall have more to say in another
lession about breathing. 1t is one Of
the most important details in an ath-

Next, stand still, on tip-toes, every

q long breath, slowly, filling the lungs,
letting it out again just as slowly.
(Keep the mouth shut in all athletic
work, breathing entirely through the
nose) Repeat this breathing exercise

scribed last week. should not take you
over ten minutes. Fifteen at the out

take bath.
Most physical culture instructors in
sist on perfectly cold baths for their
pupils. And, If there is no heart trou-

any case, take the bath as cold as you
can stand it. Don't remain in the wa

to dry on your body before getting in
to the tub after exercising.

right, coming back, and repeating each
Of the motions ten times. Increase
the number by one each day till you
get up to 20. This is excellent work
for nearly all the muscles OF ths
trunk. abdomen and stomach.
Now lie down face downward. Sup
porting the whole weight of ne body
on the palms and the toes (nands be-
ing each about six inches beyond the
body at about the level OF the shout
ders), raise the rest of the body from
the floor. Raise it until the arms are
almost rigidly extended. Then lower
the body till the chest almost touches
the ground. Do not, however, allow
the chest or any other part of the
body except the hands and toes to
touch, but repeat the raising" process.
Do not try this too often at first. Five
times is enough for the first day. In
crease the number per day If you can

the way to breathe while doing this
raising and lowering exercise:
Before raising yourself for the first
time draw in full breath slowly. Hold
it while you raise yourself, lower your
self, raise yourself and lower again.
Then let the breath out just as slowly;
draw in another and go on, allowing
one long breath for every two raises"
The foregoing exercise is also good for

For Legs and Thighs.
Stand upright, heels together, hands
on your hips. Keeping the heels to-
gether, bend the knees forward, allow
ing the body to sink as near the floor
as possible without losing your bal
ance or going too far down to recover
yourself. Rise. still keeping the heels
together, to an upright posture. Now,
| in lowering the body the next time,
still keep the heels together, but bend
the knees, not forward, but outward.

your family physician about it, for you
need even more building up than ath-

but a few of those requiring least eff
