THE POLITICAL DRAMA IN NEW YORK.

MAI r. BARNES, of Albany, is now In the hmeight as the heavy
AZ villain in the exciting drama that is being enacted in New
York politics. He has leaped into national fame, or ILL
fame. as one of the principals in the dramatic plot to down Roose-
yelt. In the second act of the drama the plot is exposed and the
plotters are temporarily discounted. The hero of the drama goes
en- distant mission amid the applause of the galleries. But the
villain Nlr. Barnes of Albany is undaunted. He puts on a bold
front. he treasures his more timid confederates by summing up
their resources. All is not lost, even if the Vice President is Gin a
ohole" In the third act the consprators are seen gathering their
forces, while the friends of the absent hero also muster for the
struggle This act will bring the incidents up to the eve of the
State convention, and then the final act and the climax and the
sequel. Shall virtue or wickedness triumph? Shall the heavy
Villain or the spotIess hero prevail? The galleries are prepared to
be breathless, for the hero will soon return and the last act of the
Il drama will begin.

OWN BUILT ON TOP OF ROCK
Ancient Human Habitation Known to
Have Been Constructed Many
Centuries Ago.

1t would undoubtedly be a peculiar
sensation to live on top of mush-
room. If the mushroom were of gi-
gantic proportions and were planted
so as to overhang the sea, the expert
ence would be very similar to that
of living in the town Of Acoma, which
is three miles south of the Mesa En-
cantada in Mexico.
The strange mushroom-lik rock on
which the town stands is splendid
specimen of fantastic erosion, having
ovel hanging sides nearly 400 feet
high. The top of the rock IS compare
lively level, and Is about 70 acres in
extent. 1t is indented with numer-
GUS great bays, and is notched with
dizzy chasms. The greater portion Of
1t overhangs the sea like an immense
mushroom, and the strangest part OF
all is that 1t has a town on top.

Correct STANDING Position.

The correct standing position has
been frequently described, but as fire..
quently forgotten, or at least neglect
ed. Chest up is the essential direc-
ton, and one might always say the
only one needed, since in lifting the
chest the shoulders are at the same
time thrown .ack and down and the
abdomen drawn in. To swell the chest
with a full, deep breath and to hold
the position is secret of the correct
position. The chin should be held in,
but not stifliy SO, and the weight
should be on the balls of the feet In.
stead of on the heels. One can teach
oneself to take invariably that posi-
