WALKING to Health.

When there is no organic weakness
which is aggravated by the exertiOn it
is the easiest and pleasantest thing to
walk right into health. OF course there
is no virtue in a dawdling walk. The
slow and languid dragging Of one foot
after the other, which some people call
walking, would tire an athlete. 1t ut
terry exhausts a weak person, and that
Is the reason why many delicate peo-
pie think they cannot walk. To derive
any benefit from the exercise 1t is
necessary to walk with light, elastic
step, which swings the weight of the
body 50 easily from one leg to the other
that its weight is not felt and which
produces a healthy glow, showing that
the sluggish blood is stirred to action
In the most remote veins. This sort of
walking exhilarates the whole body,
gives tone to the nerves and produces
just that sort of healthful fatigue
which encourages sound, restful sleep.

How Rain Bores Holes.

When rain falls it does not actually
soak into the earth. but bOres its wa!
in. forming tiny tubes. These tunes
are so small that 1t would be lmpos'
sible to insert a hair in one OF them
without bursting its wall. Sometimes
the tubes are bored down to a depth
Of four or five feet. When the SURFACE
dries. the water evaporates from the
tubes. just as 1t would from pipe
If the tube is twisted 1t takes longer
for the water to evapOrate. III one
takes a rake and stirs the ground after
each rain he breaks the tops or the
tubes. and the water will stand III
them for months. In this way the
farmers OF the west, Oh the semlarlo
lands. store the rainfall one year aho
raise a crop of wheat every othef
year, there being sufficient water IL

Manners IL Not Mathematics.

The little boy, aged five, was sitting
in the midst OF the large family circle
at the luncheon table. Opposite him
was his young lady cousin, who min
gled with her affection for him an ear
nest desire to set his infant feet IN the
paths Of knowledge. Just now IN her
intense way she was trying to teach
him how to divide an orange into quar-
tiers.
Again and again she led up to the
point that she wished him to think out
and as often he failed to follow.
AS she leaned forward, wholly alb
sorbed I'm her desire to make the idea
clear to him, she asked once more
"But how would you get a quarter OF

Trade Emblems on Tombstonss.

In Scotland 1t was for long time
usual to place on a mans tombstone
the symbols Of his trade. Especially
was this the case at Dunblane, where,
In the burial ground Of the abbey, II
has been found that of those tomb
stones which are from 100 to 200 years
old about one-fourth are thus marked,
the symbols being in low relief. A
sugar cane may be seen as showing
the grave of grocer; an ak and saw,
with hammer and nails, occur on the
grave of a carpenter; an awl and a
hammer on that Of shoemaker.
There are many other graves similarly
marked.-LondOn Answers.

Big Business . Day Dream.
The expansion Of British commerce.
writes T. Sharper Knowlson In the
Century, discussing 1.-The Uses of Imag-

The expansion Of American commerce

its marvellous growth saw the unseen"
by aid Of their imagination. Away in
the west they saw the desert places,
mere waste wilderness Of the unpro-
ductive, and they imagined" irriga-
ton. And now the earth has become
glad with the abundance of luscious
fruits, and a prosperous people inhabit
the once barren region. Some of them

When Andrew Lang Forgot.

Andrew Lang was absentminded at
times. Once he paid a visit TO a Scotch
professor at university where he lee
tured. He was to catch return train
early in the morning, and breakfast
was ordered for 8 o'clock, but at $50
a Mortified maid announced to the fam
fly that some one had stolen Mr..
Lang's clothes and he couldn't get up.
The host went to Mr.. Lang's room and
found him sitting up in bed in his
monocle and pajamas. There was no
sign of any other garment in the room.
The host went downstairs to summon
the police, but before he could get a
connection by the state owned tele-
phone the maid came running down to
say that Mr. Lang's rigging had been
found. He had folded up his clothes
the night before and put them under
his pillow because the pillow was too
low and then forgotten all about it

Gambling as a Religious Duty.

Speaking of gambling" a mission
airy said, 81 know of a sect that re-
CARDS 1t as a religious duty, like fast
Ing or prayer. This sect Is the Hin
dus. They one day In each year
gamble like mad from sunrise till sun
set. The day is the festival Of the
lamps, a day sacred to Lakshun, the
goddess Of wealth. A tremendous lot
Of money changes hands In Lakshun's
honor. All this gambling is done to
test the financial success that will at
tend on each person throughout the
year. If gambler loses he knows a
year Of hard luck is ahead Of him. II
he wins he knows he may expect a
twelvemonth Of prosperity. Strange

The Benefit of Sorrow,

By sorrow men learn that they need
to be fed with higher food, that they
must rest on stronger supports, that
they must have other friends and 9TH
er friendships, that they must live an
other life, that there must be some
thing that neither time nor chance nor
accident can undermine and sweep
away. When men have learned the
interior lesson Of sorrow they look
upon trouble not as being less trou-
blous than it was, but as, from the
higher point to which they have risen,
unreal and dreamy.-Henry Ward
