REBELS TRIAL IN PARIS.
Working Of a consplrators' Institute
Is Laid Bare in the French
Capital.


Extraordinary things are coming out
at the trial in Paris of seven revolu-

threatened ana sequestrAted three OF
their comrades whom they suspected
Of betraying them, the one for the
space Of SO hours, another for 4S
hours, and the third for -, with this
result that their captives signed con-
fesslons. The story Of two of these
affairs having been related in some Of
the newspapers, the judicial authori-
ties instituted an inquiry, with the
result that warrants were issued for
the arrest of nine men. Three only
could be captured, as the rest had fed,
but four of the latter surrendered.
Meanwhile, it had been ascertained
that third revolutionist had been
drawn into a trap and also seques-
trated, his papers being even seized
at his dwelling. When questioned he
and his fellow-prisoners assumed full
responsibility for what they had done.
and soon the presiding judge re-
marked:
You have, like us, detective de-
partment, thanks to which you have
been able to intercept correspondence,
to shadow people, and to lay traps for
them. You have employed the classic
methods Of the police, and you have
also gendames, the jeunes-gardss
revolutionnaires. You have, too, your
magistrates, but there is this differ,
ence, that the accused are not assist
ed by counsel"
The person to whom this was ad-
dressed coolly replied that they left
brutal methods to the regular police.

longest sequestration complain? mo,

HARD ON THE HEART
GERMAN PHYSICIAN FINDS FAULT
( WITH OUR ELEVATORS.
Advises Walking Downstairs, but says
Use Elevator Going Up, as It IN
doubtedly Helps to Save che
Organs of Life.

A German physician who has been
visiting this country is said to have
declared that riding in our swift eleva
tors is the cause of the increase OF
heart trouble In this country. He holds
the involuntary catching Of the breath
when the elevator starts OF stops as
responsible.
Far from causing injury to the
heart" says the Independent, "eleva.
tors have spared that important or
gan much unnecessary strain. There is
probably nothing harder on the heart
than the going up many flights OF
stairs. The pumping of blood through
tightly contracted muscles during the
process Of lifting the body up to a
height is one Of the hardest that the
heart can have.
Men who are suffering from heart
disease have been kept at work and

thus so important an adjunct for the
heart so far as going upstairs is con.

downstairs occasionally.
"a distinguished German authority
In the treatment of obesity has recon-.
mended walking downstairs rather
rapidly as probably the best possible
means Of taking off the surplus tissue,
and particularly that which collects in
the abdominal region and is hard to
move by ordinary forms of exercise,
such as walking and the like. The
gentle jolting motion tends to lead to
the reabsorption of the fatty material
that is accumulated. Some American
physicians have tried the suggestion

Besides this there is probably no
better exercise for the ankle Joints
than that of coming downstairs. One
Of the most frequent sources Of COM
plant of extreme fatigue and Of
achy feelings that are often supposed
to be rheumatic is the yielding OF
the arch of the foot with a tendency
to the development of Indebtedness
This has grown very common in re
cent years, mainly because Of the
small amount of brisk exercise of the
feet that men take.
We do much standing, often stand
ing even on long rides, but little rap

the muscles which normally hold The
joints Of the ankle firmly together be
come fiabby and allow the gradual
disappearance Of the arch and tn,

ankle joints. Many people wear fiat

cases such crutch is probably nee
