Curiosity.

Women and the feminine qualities in
men have done more for human progress
than they are usually credited with. The
humorist, the womau-hater and the phil
osopher agree that it was the curiosity OF
Eve regarding the taste OF the apple which
brought about the fall ofman. Buttheolo-
gianS, historians and moralists are also
agreed that the fall Of man was the best
thing that ever happened TO him, for ii
made him work for living.
Adam got from Eve some OF her Curl
osity, and their sons and daughters in
herited it from their parents. Those chill
dren, in The shape Of the invading hordeS
of Asia, were impelled by curiosity to find
out what there was in Europe. The in
vaderS and others, impelled also by curl
osity, laid waste ancient Rome, and were
in turn conquered by the Roman civii-
zation and'gave us modern Europe. Gu
rioSity sent Columbus across the unchart-
ed seas, only to surprise the Old World
with two new continents. 1t is curiosity
that has perfected the steam engine, the
steamboat and the steamship; curiosity
brought the lightning down from heaven
for Franklin harnessed it for the elec-
trio telegraph for Morse, and put bit and
bride on the etheric waves of Marconi.
rf~t 4
These are commonplaces, for proof is
not needed to establish what is so OBJ
viouS regarding the relation between the
curiosity OF Eve and the present state OF
the world. GAS curious as woman" is
not phrase of reproach. II ranks in
honor along with the sayings about the
industry OF the ant, the wisdom OF the
serpent and the harmleSsnesS Of the dove.

A PrnfitahIe Account.

An interesting story is related in our
Dumb Animals OF a San Francisco woman
and her physician. The doctor perform
ed an operation very successfully upon a
wealthy woman. When asked for his
bill, the physician presented one for fifty
dollars. The good lady smiled.
"Do you consider that sufficient
charge doctor" she asked, considering
my circumstances"
THAT is my charge for the operation;
your circumstances have nothing TO do
with it."
The lady drew check for five hundred
dollars and presented it 10 him. He
handed it back saying, 81 cannot accept
this. My charge for the operation is fifty
dollars"
every we'll, " the lady replied. keep
the check and put the balance 10 my cred
it."
Some months after she received long
itemized bill, upon which were entered
charges OF various kinds, rendered to all
sorts of humanity, male and female, black
and white, who had been treated at her
expense. She was so delighted at il that
she Immediately placed another check for
five hundred dollars to his credit on the
same terms, and it is now being earned
in the same way.

Market-WiSe,

What there is about mans honest friend
and servant, the horse, to make horse
trading so unsavory an occupation has
never been made clear. Whatever may
be the proper thing to do with gift
horses, it is always wise to inspect the
mouths Of those you buy.
The other day Judge Hostetter made up
his mind he wanted to buy ahorSe. The
old mare was getting little short OF wind
and uncertain Of foot On his way down
town 10 the courthouse he saw John
Burkett driving up the street.
John lives out in the country, and does
something at raising horses and great
deal at trading them. The Judge went TO
the edge of the sidewalk and beckoned
him over to the curb.
"John," he said, "I'm thinking Of buy
ing horse. You know good deal
about horses. Do you know OF anyone
who's got horse to sell 2"
John considered the matter moment,
and then smile slowly illumed his face.
"a reckon Bill Davis has, Judge" he
said, cor he will have in day or two.
sold him one yesterday"

Walking.

1t is the teaching of nature and of med
iciae and the common experience of man
kind that the body that does not exercise
stiffens and nsts. This is freely conceded
by everybody, but not everybody, alas
translates his belief into practise. UnleSS
exercise can be varied and made pleasant
If is tedious business. Swinging In
dian clubs, raising dumb-bellS or going
through the various movements of the
"home gymnastics" so popular a few
years ago, soon becomes monotonouS.
The man who can keep il up every day,
year in and year out, possesses an en-
viable will-power that is in itself akin TO
genius. Fortunately, no one is compelled
to do this; indeed, it is better not TO do il
exclusively, for indoor exercise is insuf-
ficient, and is poor substitute for tennis,
golf, rowing, riding, and, best of all, be-
cause within the power OF all able-bodied
persons, walking.
BY walking is not meant strolling.
That is better than sitting i'll an armchair
by the fire, for it takes one into the open
air and ventilateS the lungs and stirS up
the sluggish circulation in measure, but
il is not walking exercise.
In brisk walk of twenty minutes or
more, a man exercises all the muscles OF
his body; he shakes the abdominal organs
into useful activity; he fills his lungs with
fresh, pure air, and so helps them to dis
charge their office OF purifying the blood;
he quickenS and strengthens the heart
action, so that the blood, now well aerated
in the lungs, flows in full stream TO the
brain, and washes out all the poison with
which the everyday work and worry
has clogged it; and at the same time the
ever changing scenes in city streets OF
country roads alter the current otthought.
Mind and body alike are renewed, and
all this without conscious effort, if the
walk is taken with purpose.
The purpose can be found, for there is
always an errand which one can do for
himself or another. The business man
especially, the one who needs more than
any one else this giving exercise, can
get it by walking to or from, or to and
from, his office.
This may seem irkSome or time-wast-
ing at first, but with little perseverance
it soon becomes a habit. Then very soon
its benefits are recognized; one by one
disagreeable minor symptoms disappear,
meals are properly digested, sleep be-
comes a matter of course, and those first
few extra pounds of flesh at which the
family physician has looked askance in
sensibly disappear. The wise man will
not readily abandon habit which brings
such certain reward.

0beying Orders.

The Confederates had been making
themselves troublesome along our left
wing" began the veteran, recalling an in
cident of the Civil War for the amusement
OF his grandchildren and their young
guests, land orders went forth TO push
our picket-line farther down in their di-
rection.
"'And mind, now, boys said the COM
mander OF the guard, sternly, private
property and live stock are not TO be dis
turbed. No marauding, no foraging, no
robbery; but permit nothing and nobody
TO pass the lines that can't give the coun-
tersign.'
"With three days rationS in haverSacks,
few hundred men, including an accom-
pliShed coIored cook, marched TO perform
this service. At midnight, the second
night, the cook, whose name was Sambo,
and a comrade were on picket duty when
they suddenly heard soft step.
Haiti shouted the picket.
"'Who 90 dar?' added the cook.
"But no answer came came from the
intruder.
"'Halt' repeated the picket.
""Vance an glib de counterSign.' in
sisted Sambo.
"On came the party addressed without
responding, and presently, through the
darkness, the guards discovered the visi-
tor 10 be-a fine yearling calf, astray. The
animal pushed on past the line without
giving the countersign, and became SAM
bo'S prize OF war.
Next morning the officers and men
had a re al breakfast. and the commander,
naturally, asked Sambo where he got the
meat.

asked him how he liked dem outlets, he
said, Very good, Sam, and turned away
with a smile.

In addition TO her comelineSs, she is

Recently ruraliSt stepped up TO the

"Nother ticket, please" he said, wear

She sold il to him and he stepped aside.

Her First Young Man.

No one who has ever in his youth felt the
responsibility of "msking conversatio n"
can read unsympathetically this littie tale
from the Chicago Evening Post. A
young girl who attended dance but had
not been formally introduced into society
found herself confronted with the serious
responsibility OF entertaining her first
young man caller. He had asked her
permission TO call after having danced
with her, and an appointment was made
for several evenings distant.
The girl had no worldly education,
and was considerably flustered over the
prospect of having to keep the converSa-
ton up 10 a gentle boil. Her friends as
sured her that conversation was not diff
cult, once started, but there must be some
reliance on standard topics when an ac-
quaintance was juStfoming. The young
man was college bred, they pointed out,
and probably familiar with literature, mu-
sic, art or history.
History
That was an inspiration, and she began
10 read il with avidity.
The evening came, and with il the
young man. He presented her with
some long-Siemmed roses, told her she
looked charming, referred 10 the pleasure
he had dancing with her, and ratified on
with the rest OF the usual opening chorus.
Then he paused, leaned back and
crossed his legs.
The girl changed color several times,
choked momentarily and said:
Wasn't that perfectly terrible thing
about Mary Queen OF Scots T.

All, God, if might but Just sit Still
And hear the note OF the whp-poor-will,

II had the time TO learn from you
How much for comfort my word could do;

To kiss your feet when did you i'll;

Could flow, and the wrong be quite explained
