THE VALUE OF WALKING.



The man or woman either who has
cultivated the habit of the daily walk
has minimized the chances Of falling
a victim to a good many different
ills, and those who have not yet gone
into the habit can not do better than
begin straight away. Winter is a good
time for walking: there is no dust or
hot sun. both of which sometimes
prove rather a drawback to ones en-
joyment, and the cold, sharp air makes
brisk movement a pleasure.
When it is impossible to keep warm
indoors, even with the help of a fire,

at his desk and neglecting exercise
almost entirely. suddenly sets out on a
twenty mile tramp, will be only upset

short distance. and above all keep the

THE UNIVERSITY.

The bin which is now before the state
legislature for the appropriation Of
money for building a science hall a
power plant, and a storehouse. at the
University Of Michigan, calls for a
special appropriation-some which
has not previously been granted the
university for fourteen years. The last
special appropriation to the University
was made in 1897, when the Legisla-
ture authorized the expenditure of
$4,000 for the present electric lighting
plant.

spective state governments for the
universities Of Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, which by reason OF num-

for him to step aside and give the
