WALKING EREcT-Walking erect not
only adds to the manliness Of appearance,
but develops the chest and promotes tho
general health in high degree, because
the lungs, being relieved of the pressure
made by having the head downward and
bending the chest in, admit the air freely
and fully down to their very bottom. II
an effort Of the mind is made to throw the
shoul e-s back, feeling of tiredness and
awkwardncss is soon experienced, or it is
forgotten. The use of braces to hold up
the body is necessarily prenicious, for there
can be no braces which do not press on
some part of the person more than is quite
natural. hence it cannot fail to impede
iniuriously the circulation OF that part.
But were there none of these objections,
the brace would adapt itself to the bodily
position, like hat. or shoe, or new gar
ment, and would cease to be brace.


To seek to maintain an erect position, or
to recover it when lost, in manner which
is at once natural, easy and efficient, it is
only necessary to walk habitually with the
eyes fixed on an object ahead, little higher
than YOUR own, the cave Of house, the
ton of mans hat, or simply keep your chin
a little above the horizontal line, or, it will
answer to walk with your hands behind
YOU If either of these things are done, the
necessary, easy and legitimate effect is to
relieve the chest from pressure; the ar
gets in more easily. develops it more fully,
md permeates the lungs more extensively,
causing more perfect publication Of the
blood, imparting higher health, more color
to the cheek, and compelling throwing
out of the toes. To derive the highest
benefit from walking, hold upthe head. keep
the mouth shut and move briskly. 49,.

Bears are becoming plentiful in the
foothills of this county within the last few
weeks A few days ago Herbert Bass
killed one on Clover Greek, and Brock
killed another somewhere on the other side
Of the river Herbert brought his bear
into camp, but Brock had bad luck with
his. Itappears that Brock, while hunting,
shot and killed fne deer, but having no
horse with him and it being near dark,
he hung bis game up on tree, and went
to camp, intending to come back next
mlrnins and pack it home On returning
Brock found that the bears had been ahead
of him and had eaten up the ve4ison, but
while lamentiug his loss he caught sight
of small bruin on the hillside several
hundred yards off. Hoping to get even on
the loss Of the deer, he crept within range
of the bear, and by well directed shot
laid it out dead He then dressed the
bear, loaded it up on his pack horse, and
started for home. He had not proceeded
far however, before spying cqulle of bear
almost within gubshot. Brock advanced
and fired on one of them, but the bullet
missed its mark, and the game scampered
away through the brush and frightened the
packhorse so that it "got up and busted"
at the. top of its speed. Brock then took
the track of the fugitive horse and after
following the trail about mile came upon
the carcass of the dead bear where the horse
had bucked it off. The horse kept on run
ming and is still going, or was at last ac

France-will not forty millions of brave
people-be aroused to almost superhuman
courage and efforts by the merciless
conduct of the invadersp Such a peo-
pie, driven to desperation, to the last
point of endurance, and becoming familiar with
suffering, are equal to great deeds. With all
the wonderful success and military skill Of the
Prusslans they are not utterly inviucible to the
ravages OF war; They are on the soil Of
brave enemy, their losses have been enormous
already, and they might yet ind that, demoral-
lied as the French became under the empire,
the republic may infuse new life and power

King Of Prussia is using to crush the republic
will do more, probably, to establish it on firm
basis than anything else. 1t win inspire the
