WALKING.

The Almighty has not freighted the
foot with a single superfuOus part,
Every inch OF every foot is meant for
use. When a man walks in the right
way, speaking literally, the back Of the
heel strikes the ground first. Then the
rest Of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge Of the foot takes
the bulk Of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight to
the ball Of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is a slightly rock
ing motion At no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground
Heel to toe IS the movement. Try 1t
and see how much farther and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way, and what poor Lo doesn't know
about footwork can go into the discard.

DashIna Into Danger.

when / was younger" big Broad
way traffic cop remarked, II used to
cuss at everybody who insisted on
dashing across the street in front Of
car or truck. / cuss the act still, but
not the person. Fact is, I've learned
that q majority Of people just can't
help it. An approaching vehicle about
to cross their path is like a red rag 10
q bull. It's a sort Of challenge, dare.
And the impulse to defeat its purpose
can't be controlled. There isn't any
plan Of action It's a case Of dash
irst and think afterward, and some
times, Of course. the thinking is done
In q hospital.
'Tt's q sort Of disease OF the nerves,
/ guess, because the head Of a busi-
ness house will do this fool thing just
as quick as his errand boy will But
the cop and the driver are to blame
whenever there's a miscalculation."

The Roulette Ball.

That capricious little ball that de-

mating game Of roulette at Monte Car

croupiers hand, though not often.
One afternoon it slipped from It's
manipulator's fingers and found its
way into an EnglishmaD's coat pocket.
So impressed was the Englishman

dred pounds. But the little ball once
found q far stranger destination than
that. Escaping from the croupler's
hand, It few straight into the mouth
Of a German onlooker. and he was so
impressed that he promptly swallowed

PeFsIsn Jssts.

An exceedingly ugly man, says the
Persian Joe Miller, was once in ths
mosque, asking pardon Of Allah for
his sins and praying to be delivered
from the fires Of hell. One who over
heard his prayers said to him: Where
fore, o friend, wouIdst thou cheat he'll

Iuctant to burn up a face Ike thatT'
Another story the Persian jester tells
Is that certain person with hideous
nose was once on a time wOoing wo-
man. Describing himself to her and
trying to make an attractive picture,
he said, Il am a man devoid Of light
ness and frivolity, and am patient in
bearing af1icttOns!'
"Aye," said the woman. "Wert thou
not patient in bearing Affections thou
hadst never endured thy nose these
forty yearsv'

Tea In ParanuaN.

When the natives of Paraguay drink
tea they do not pour it from a teapot
into a cup, but fill a goblet made out
Of d pumpkin or gourd and then suck
up the hot liquid through a long reed.
Moreover, the tea which they use Is
altogether different from that which
comes from China, being made out OF
dried and roasted leaves Of a palm
Ike plant which grows in Paraguay
and southern Brazil. The natives say
that this tea is an excellent remedy
for fever and rheumatism.

To further the movement the
Housewives Protective association
has been formed and convened its
first session at Tomlinson hall this
afternoon. The only requirement for
membership is that each housewife
joining the association shall provide
herself with accurate scales and
weigh at least periodically the things
she buys. 1t is alleged that this will
cut down the annual household eX-
penditures at least 10 per cent. The
organization will investigate every
claim of false weights or measures
and turn over all valid complaints to
the city inspector of weights and
measures. Inspector Wilson and
other municipal officials are heartily
in favor of the movement and have
pledged their support.
