The average city business man with- out physical impediments to fight against can probably get along success- fully on such an exercise schedule as the following: First—Five minutes each day of purely muscular exercise, such as can be taken perfectly well in one's room without any special apparatus. Second.—Short Intervals during the day of fresh alir, brisk walking, deep breathing. ' This can all be secured in the regular order of the day’s business. A man can easily spend as much as half an hour walking out of doors every day. This is for heart, lungs and digestion. Third.—The reservation of at least one day a week for rest and recreation, for being out of doors, for playing games, ete. This is essentlal. This is for both body and mind. A man who thinks he can get along without at least one vacation time a week simply proves his ignorance.—World’s Work. The Bite of a Girl. The bite of a girl may be as produc- tive of polsonous germs as improperly prepared foods, according to the state- ments of Professor W. D. Miller of the University of Berlin. In a lecture the professor sald that a bite of a pretly girl would often bring a quicker and more horrible death than the bite of a serpent. Professor Miller, who has made a specal study of the bacteria of the mouth, said that only a short time ago he experimented on a beautiful girl in Germany and found that an arrow dipped in sallva from her mouth would send its victim in death throes more terrible than one dipped In the venom of the most deadly snake—What to Eat, Twins Born In Different Years. “I have often been present at the birth of twins,” sald an old nurse. “Only once was I present, though,when the twins were born in different years.” “Twins born in different years? You are crazy,” said the young bride. “Not a bit of it,” sald the old nurse, “The thing happened' in Pittsburg in 1899. The first twin was born at 11:30 o’'clock on the night of Dec. 31, 1899, and the second was born at 1 o’clock in the morning of Jan. 1, 1900. There are, ma’am, a number of other cases recorded of twins born in different years,” . The Cat Had Chickens. The old housekeeper met the master at the door on his arrival home, “If you please, sir,” she sald, “the cat has had chickens.” “Nonsense, Mary,” laughed he. “You mean kittens. Cats don’t have chick- ens.” “Was them chickens or kittens as you brought home last night?’ asked the old woman. “Why, they were chickens, of course.” “Just so, sir,” replied Mary, with a twinkle. “Well, the cat’s had 'em!” A Comprehensive Verdiet, A child in an English town was killed by a steam atomizing apparatus falling on It, The coromer’s jury brought in the following curlous ver- dict: “Death resulted from shock fol- lowing bronchitis and whooping cough, caused through the shaking of the house by the firing of & gun at the government proof butts on the Pulm- stead marshes.” e Raising His: Wages, Y.—You know I tald you a few days after he employed me that he said he'd raise my wages In a month or so} Z~—Yes. And didn’t he? “No. I misunderstood him. Hae #ald he'd try to ralse my first weel’s 'wages by that time. I baven’t hnd a shilling yet.”—London Tit-Blits, Compromise. “I have a little granddaughter,” sald 8 senator, “who I8 very fond of ani- mals, especially dogs. Her mother has taught her to pronounce the word until It sounds like dahg. Her father sticks to the good old, fashioned dawg, so the child has compromised, and now every canine is a dahg-dawg.” SR There are weavers who turn out only one yard of stuff a year. They are the Gobelln tapestry weavers, who work in the factory in Paris, which is own- ed’ by the French government, -They. average in the year only from one to three yards of goods, according to the fineness of the weave and the Intricacy of the pattern. These weavers work at hand looms, where they put in the filling, or weft, with a shuttle held In the left hand. The back of the tapes- ‘try Is toward them. A mirror shows them the other side. Baskets of wool in every shade or color surround them. They use 1,400 tones In all, Skilled as these workmen are, their pay Is no bigger than,that of the ordinary Amer- fcan laborer. They get about $600 a year on an average, or about $12 a ‘week. - These Gobelin tapestries, re- quiring years In the making, are of course very expensive. An offer of $30,000 wouldn't get some of them. New Gobelins you can’t buy at all. The French government has them made to give away as presents to Its friends—people of power and position. —New York Press, India Rubber. Caoutchouc was introduced to Eu- rope by M. de la.Condamine on his re- turn from Peru in 1736, “It Is,” sald its discoverer, “a most singular resin. #8 much by the use to which it Is de- voted as by Its nature, which Is a problem to our most expert chemists. It flows from a tree growing in several parts of America and is called cnout. chouc by the Mainas Indians on the banks of the Amazon.” Long before Charles Macintosh began to make bhis waterproofs In 1823 the natlves of Qui- ‘to were using the rubber for the same purpose as well as for boots and bot- tles and many other things. The new and mysterious material had a hard struggle for popularity in England. Dr. Priestley probably did more than any- body else to make its novel qualities known, for in 1770 he popularized It forever by showing school children how 1t could be made to efface pencil marks. Hurrah. “Hip, hip, hurrah!” is a modern phrase, The “hip” and the “burrah” do not seem to have come together be- fore the nineteenth century. In the eighteenth century hip amounted to Just “hi,” or “hello,” while “hurrah” ‘was then usually “huzza.” Itlislike the Cossack “Ora!” but it is supposed to have been a German cry of the chase adapted by the German soldiers to war and borrowed -from them by the Eng- lish, perhaps first of all at the time of the Thirty Years’ war. “Hurra!” is sald to have been the battle cry of the Prus- slans In the war of liberation (1812-13). Still, the curious fact that seventeenth and elghteenth century writers call “Huzza!” a sailors’ shout lends sup- port to the conjecture that it may really have been the holsting cry. “Hissa!” Whistler a Brilllant Talker. Whistler was a brilliant talker and a great debater. I shall never forget my surprise when I heard him say for the first time, “Bacher, I am not arguing with you; I am telling you” I never forgot the lesson. Later I found that he had used.this effectlvely in one of his letters to the London World when he said: “Seriously, then, my Atlas, an etching does not depend for Its impor- tance upon its size. I am not arguing with you; I am telling you.” He spoke French fluently, German less readily His Itallan was very. good, especially under excitement, though occasionally a French word slipped in unawares, adding to the picturesqueness.

At such times I often wish I had the self con- fidence of Charles Reade. He, after he had dramatized his novel of ‘Never Too Late to Mend,” wrote on the mar- gin of a certaln passage, ‘If the audl- ence falls to weep here, the passage has not been properly acted.’” British Choral Societfes. If in the pure artistic sense the Brit- {sh people cannot be said to be mu- sical, there are, it must be admitted, individuals In multitudinous numbers who cultivate with eagerness both vo cal and instrumental music. But there is unquestionably no people who de- vote as much time and earnest study and practice to choral singing as the English, and this from the sheer love of it—Edward St John-Brenon in Strand Magazine. O1d Leprosy Laws. In the earliest code of British laws now extant—namely, that of Hoel Dha, a famous king of Cambria (the present Wales), who died about the year 930 A. D—we find a canon enacting in plain and unmistakable terms that any marrled woman whose busband was afflicted with leprosy was entitled not pnly to separation, but also to the resti- tution of her goods.

I tried for an effect—an effect In grays.” “I know a man in New York,” said Mr. Rosewater, “who had his portrait painted last year. It cost him. $4,000, and he was very proud of it. When it came home he showed it to his cook. “‘Well, Mary,” he said, ‘how do you like this portrait? “‘Sure, sir,’ sald the cook, ‘it’s lovely. It's beautiful. It's divine.’ “‘And of course,’ sald my friend, ‘you know who it 1s?" “‘Oh, of course I do, sir, sald the cook. ‘Of course, of course’ As she spoke she kept drawing nearer to the plcture, studying it more and more closely. ‘Of course, sir,’ she sald. ‘It's you or the mistress.’”—Buffalo En- quirer.” o The Sultan’s Rebuke. An ambassador of a well known Bu- ropean monarch was riding In the streets of Constantinople when one of the sultan’s carrlages rolled by. See- ing it was guarded, his curiosity got the better of him, and when the car- riage reached him he was daring enough to peep In at the passenger: He was surprised and pained to re- celve a blow in the face from an at- tendant in charge: Mad with rage, he demanded audience of the sultan. The sultan listened attentively and for a moment appeared lost in thought. At last he spoke: “My dear —, I have gone carefully into the case and see exactly how It stands, You are, of course, a gentleman. Therefore you would never have committed such a breach of good manners as you al- lege to have taken place, Therefore no attendant could possibly have struck ‘Jou. The whole affair seems to be a product of your fancy. Let us dis- miss it.” His Constancy. A story is told of General Sir Alfred Horsford, who believed in a celibate army. - A soldier once sought his per- mission to marry, saying he had two good conduct badges and $25 in the savings bank. “Well, go away,” said Sir Alfred, “and if you come back this day year in the same mind you shall marry. I'll keep the vacancy.” On the anniversary the soldier repeated his request. “But do you really, after | a year, want to marry?’ “Yes, sir, very much.” “Sergeant- major, take his name down. Yes, you may marry, I never believed there was so much constancy in man or woman. Right face. Quick march!” As the man left the room, turning his head, he said: “Thank you, sir.

Its only function there is-as a cavalry weapon. Indeed, it is an_evo- lution of the mediaeval purpose to pro- > vide horse soldiers with a firearm. In i the cavalry the weapon is effective ; only up to fifty yards. It has no value ' for hunting. The average man can do | more execution on birds and beasts ; with a slingshot. The only purpose which the revolver serves is to kill another man, and even for that pur- pose its usefulness is overestimated.— New York Mail. - Where the Audience Was.

Others are “tornado” and “hurricane,” which Shakespeare could still write “hurricano.” Old time Englishmen, at any rate, spelled the last word in at least as many ways as Shakespeare and other people spelled his name, and some of the spellings Indicate frantic attempts to make the word suggest a derivation intelligible to the English mind. Of such are “furi- jcane,” “hurlecan,” “Herocane” and i “Harry-Cain.” Even “hurricane” was i finally adopted no doubt as suggesting “hurry.” The original was the Carib - | “huracan,” or “furacan,” the navigators . i of Portugal aud Spain having been in- . | strumental only in bringing it to Eng- Wazeoia & Infernatiote In Connection with the - .Northern Pacific.

At times the hippopotamus exudes ‘what has been described as a “bloody sweat.” Microscopically examined, the exudation is found to consist of a great number of minute colorless bodies, re- lembling the colorless corpuscles of the blood, and a smaller number of pink colored bodies, made up of some crys- talline substance forming clusters of rodlike and triradiate form. These, be- coming dissolved, give the surrounding fluld medium a deeper pink color than that observable before dissolution took Pplace. ‘Both the colored and colorless matter appear to be exuded by special pores in the skin which display activi- ty only immediately after the creature has left the water.
