Sedentary Habits.

Speaking Of conjuring, the allied art
OF juggling IL one of the most anus
Ing and valuable Of diversions. es-
pecially to the sedentary. Many
physicians become expert in Juggling.
but It Is to their patients that 1t Is
most useful.
The ~bedridden, II they retain the
use Of their hands, may beguile many
a weary hour in learning to keep
three or four tennis balls In the air
at once and in balancing sticks and
other simple objects on the forefinger
or On the chin.
For the brainworker who does not
care for walking there is no better
recreation. 1t has often occurred to
US that In s where there is any
reason to fear some form of paraly-
sis the educating Of disused cerebral,
cerebellar and spinal centers by the
rapid juggling might serve to act AZ
n sfhcient preventive.
We do not wish to claim too much
for manual education Of this kind, but

Carries on One Trip Forty thousand
Messages Averaging Twenty
Words Each.

For than two thousand years
carrier pigeons have been used to car
ry messages when no other means suf-
feed. n during the siege of Paris.
when 363 birds were sent out from the
doomed city, one Of the birds perform
ed the almost incredible feat Of carry
ing to the outside world, on n trip.
no less than forty thousand messages,
averaging twenty words each. This
was eight hundred thousand words. or
the equivalent of Ave or six average
novels.
This marvel a accomplished by
means Of microscopic photography, the
messages being first printed with ordi-
nary type and then photographed and
rephotographed. until they had been
reduced several hundred diameters.
The hnal photographs were taken on
films or pellicles Of ~collodion, each Of
which, about two inches square, con
tanned fifty thousand words. A dozen
Of these films, rolled up in . quill,
weighed one-twenty-eighth Of an ounce.
The messages could, OF course, be read
with a microscope, without the neces-
sity OF rephotographing and charging.
Under favorable conditions. and for
comparatively short distances, pigeons
have carried az much a. three-quar-
tiers OF an ounce. Using the photo-re-
duction method, II would therefore be
possible for a single bird to carry mes
sages equal in words to no fewer than
one hundred and twenty ordinary vol
umes.-Harper's Weekly.

Where Cleanliness Counted.

4 housekeeper. wishing to change
her baker, recently decided to investi-
gate the conditions under which vari-
Gus kinds of bread were made and
sold. Beginning with one Of the most
popular bakeries In town, she found
that the loaves Of bread were packed
In large cases for delivery without be-
Ing previously wrapped In paper. At
the houses Of customers, they were
taken from the cases and put into
bags by hands which not over clean
to start with. had been used In driv-
ing and in other miscellaneous Of
nces. She spoke with the man who
had the contract for delivering the
bread In her part Of the city and
asked the man why he did not have 1t
put into bags at the bakery. His re-
ply was. why, madam, that would
never do at all. The bags would get
20 dirty that the ladies would refuse
to take them."-LaFollette's Weekly.

DE LA BARRA's GOOD WORDS.

The meeting in the City Of Mexico be
surgent leader. Francisco T. Madero,
was one Of great cordiality, not TO say
affection. De la Barra recognizes
Madero as the head Of great party in
Mexico, and with less assurance recog
nizes REYES as the head Of another
great party For himself. De la BarTa
disclaims all public ambition. and with,
draws in advance from the race for the
Presidency. leaving that contest TO
Reves and Madero. 1t viii be great
political fight. that contest for the Mexi-
can Presidency. and one which is quite
likely 30 result in civil war whichever
way it may turn; for it is not likely
that Madcro would quietly submit to
defeat at the polls, nor is it likely that
Reyes would submit, either. The pros
pcct therefore. for fight in deadly
earnest, no matter what the election
may decree, is most significant
De Ia Barra. in his public talk, gives
the highest possible praise to President
Taft for his forbearancc, his good will
and his conservative position toward
Mexico. He does not specifically refer
to the massing of the L. 5. troops on
the border, but evidently in his mind
there was no objection to this. The
attitude OF the administration in the
United States. De la Barra says, has
been guided by the highest claims of
friendlinoss. and he states that he is
glad to applaud the calm and sagaclous
policy of the United States That
policy was strong. practical proof TO
him that the friendship Of the United
States for Mexico has been, and will
be. real and sincere
President De Ia Barra is quite cor
rect in this, and il may be said further
that. aside from its feeling Of friend
ship to Mexico. the United States does
moi the least desire 10 cmbroil it
self in any entanglemeDts and troubles
that would be certain TO cnsue If this
Nation undertook any intervention in
Mexico. or any guidance, friendly OF
otherwise, of the internal affairs of that
Republic. The future of Mexico is
big problem TO the statesmen who viii
have the direction of her public affairs
in the immediate future. II would he y
far greater. moro costly. and consuming
trouble 90 the United States than it, is
TO them, and we are quite content TO
leave that problem with the Mexican
statesmen, and 10 let them deal with
IL in their own way, without the slight
est Intervention or interference from US.
