DEVELOPING THE GRIP.
SIMPLE AND AT THE SAME TIME
BENEFICIAL EXERCISE.
Utilize the Read Newspaper In Health
full Way, and Muscular Power,
Astonishing In Its Volume
VIII Result,

After you have read your morning
paper and want to rest your brain
by a little exercise In which the
newspaper may still play an import
ant part the writer suggests that you
/ adopt the method of a friend in New
! York city. 1t is simple, yet quite
| ingenious, as 1t stimulates energy
in a mild way and is especially help,
full on mornings when you do not feel
inclined to exert your strength.
Take In each hand a corner Of an
ordinary sheet of newspaper and
crumple 1t up until the four corners
are brought into the palms of your
hands. forming paper balls. Avoid
assisting In the process by pressing
the hands against the body. The re-
suit Is surprising, Every muscle will
be brought into sympathy with the
muscles of the forearm in the effort
to secure the last corner Ito COM
pletely hide the sheets in your hands J
Your nervous force and blood circula-
ton are thus pleasantly stimulated
Practice this from one to two min
utes. beginning slowly and gradually
increasing In speed.
When you have succeeded in form
ing these paper balls you can use
them in the same manner as you
would use a grip machine: that Is.
grasp them as tightly as you can and
then release the grip without open
ing the fingers entirely. repeating this
alternate action grasping and releas-
ing-about seventy-Sve times a min
ute. By so doing you will develop
a powerful grip. Simple as this pa
per grip machine seems it is superior
in many ways to many of the manu-
featured devices.
This exercise does not make the
hands eallous nor does 1t enlarge or
deform the joints. It messages the
flesh of the inside of the hands, In
Guiding the thumb. and gives them
beautiful outlines.
The gentleman who discovered this
novel form of exercise puts it to
practical test In the winter season.
He carries these paper balls in his coat
pocket and keeps his hands warm by
the exercise of grasping them tightly
and rapidly He has developed such
strength in his fingers thereby that
he has no difficulty In tearing cor
ner off a full deck of cards or of
lifting with one finger good-sized
man by the belt.
There is something decidedly fas,
in the exercise Try 1t.

Pleasant Rainy Day.

AS a very little girl was much
depressed by stormy weather and
hated rainy days. Then when | was
nine I went to live with Great-Aunt
Huldah. On a disagreeahle afternoon
she would be sure to say, Such
horrid day! | must have something
good for supper" And she always
did.
SO my point Of view changed and
began to look forward with pleasure
to having stormy weather. Now that
have children of my own profit
by that experience and always con
trive to have some little dellcaey on
rainy nights 1t may be waffies or
loaf of their favorite chocolate cake.

Lonu-preserVed Youth.

An English lady. disappointed in
love In her younger years, became in
sane, and lost all account of time. Be-
lieving she was still young and living
in the same hour in which she was
parted from her lover, taking no note
of the years. she stood daily before
the window watching for his coming
In this mental. condition she remained
young,
Some American travellers. unac-
quanted with her history, when asked
to guess her age, placed it under

seyenty-four, but had not wrinkle
or gray hair. Youth sat gently on
cheek and brow. She was held by
the thought Of youth and love, and it

Real Greatness.

A great man is always willing to be
little. While he sits on the cushion
OF advantage he goes to sleep When
he is pushed, tormented, defeated, he
has a chance to learn something. lie
has been put on his wits, on his man
hood He has gained facts. He learns
his ignorance: Is cured of the Insanity
of conceit; has got moderation and
real skill The wise man always
throws himself on the side Of his as
sailants. 1t is more to his interests
than it is to theirs to find his weak
point. The wound cicatrizes and falls
off from him like dead skin. and
when they who would triumph, 10! he
has passed on invulnerable. AS long
as all that Is said against me, ] feel a
certain assurance Of success; but as
soon as honeyed words OF praise are
spoken for me, feel as one that lies
unprotected before his enemies. -

dry peach, with dressing of tur-

q spoonful that is delicious. And
the next mouthful has so much of
the clear gum in it. it tastes exactly
like the gum of the pine tree. 1t is
about as embarrassing to eat in COM

them out of your mouth, they are so
