Almost every woman in Chicaso,
from Mrs. Potter Palnur down to the
delicate little saleswoman or clerk who
takes tip pedestriaitioin for the sake rf
tbe physical lentlit which it will tiiiijs
Lor, believe ia walking for the Fake of
health, praoefnluess aud tbe combina
tion of tbe two which makee beauty.
I)r. Sarah H:kett Stevenson, one of
the well known Chicago women who
heartily believe in athletics, both for
the good tbty will do Chicago women
and tbe good which Chicaso women
will do them, says that in her opinion
walking is the bet-t possible exercise for
a wouiau, except running.
"To run swiftly aud lightly," she is
fned of saying, "in to exercife every
portion of the body from the head to
tbe heels and from tbe heart to the
ankles, both thoroughly and delightf oi
ly. Tbe amount of pnre exhilaration to
lie derived from a happy ran is known
to bnt few women. But, given tbe state
ment that a woman cannot for any rear-on
practice running, then, I say, let
her walk. Swing tbe arms naturally,
have no long skirt to hold np and wear
eaty shore. Tbe woman who follows
this advice thoroughly and persistently
will soon ta as well and handsome as
it is possible for her to be. And walk
ing is a form cf athletics within tbe
reach cf erery woman in Chicago."

lowed to study at the college only six
weeks in the year, and thut during the
mmnier months, after tbe men's classes
lad dispersed for the long vacation.
This year they are to have full use cf
all the college privileges. They have
now a dormitory of their own, and a
ww stall of instructors for special snb-j.-cts
in the girls' department Ls been
added to tbe faculty.
Girls are admitted to the college on
the same conditions as l-oyg. Tbe agri-
ultoral course of study nun a term
f three years and includes every prac

The Keoaamr ef Time.
Do not have the teakettle over the
fire boiling away water after the morn
ing work if done. It is a fortunate
thingto have hot water ready in case
of sudden illness, but I have estimated
tbe number cf steps one little old lady
has taken from the kitchen to the well
iu order to keep water .always in tbe
teakettle. When one keeps up a practice
for 10 years, which has not been strict
ly needed, it is time to stop aud think.
As soon as the woik is completed after
cacb ni'nl, the teakettle should be emp
tied, polished and svt away upon its
sbelf to revel in tbe assurance of not be
ing dashed to death with cold water or
being burned up alive.
Another economy cf time for the city
housekeeper is to bang a slate outside
the kitchen d;r, on which are written
ail orders f tbe grocer. One must be
careful to erase every evening to pre
vent old order 8 being filled. Dating at
the top with the day of the week or
mouth would prevent all mistakes. One
could have a large lidded box iu the
corner of tbe porch for the parcels to be
placed iu when delivered, thus saving
steps, r;r it is nnticeaLla that the call
fur orders cuues iu the moruing at the
tune the up stairs needs iockiug after.
Orders should be written oa the slate
ejuiy iu the morning, while cue is mak
ing tbe rounds in the kitchen aud pun
try. Thus no article is forgotten that is
immediately needed. Iuez Houston in

Dlae-doaahell Girl.
Ovtr ia lLimpshire, England, there
are four pretty girls who have mastered
the rare for a woman accomplish
ment cf bell ringing.
These Hampshire girls are all mem
bers of tie Winchester Diocesan Guild
of Change Riugers aud also belong to
the bauds in their respective towns;
two of them bail from Basingstoke and
the other two from Altou. The latter ure
a clergyman's daughters, aud cau be
seen any Sunday morning or evening
taking their place with the other ring
ei in tbe belfry aud summoning tbe
congregation to church, or, on Thursday
evmings, attending tbe weekly prac
tices t an art with which they are now
tbotoughly couvetsaut.
No great efiort is required to manage
a bell. What is essential is knack, and
this these girls possess iu an eminent
di giee. They can ring a SI or 10 hun
t'ted weight bell with case. When at
Work they wear loose, easy costumes,
adaptable for other athletic exercises,
and present a pretty picture as they take
their places foi a chime on tbe ' 'diug-dong-bt-.il."
So f urinating is the study of bell
rindng that these enthusiasts spend
boms over their books of iustrccticn. A
short peal is called a "touch," aad
when they meet fur weekly practice aud
oue of these "touches" is called by the
instructor, it is a gnat triumph when
he announces "All's well."
A Belt Pia Which Hold.
A stunning belt piu has made its ap
pearance in Philadelphia, says The
Times, aud will be bHiied with delight
by the irrejresi.ille shirt waist gill. It
is a strong pin resomLiiug a bar piu.
and wbeu secured lengthwise through
tbe skirt and shirt waist there is room
Tor a leather, duck or silk belt to pass
through. It is impossible for tbe belt or
kirt to slip when hel l in place with
me of these pins. The Nicest are of goldr
studded with precious gBuis, says an au
thority on tbe subject. The average wo
n.au has no end tf trouble, anyway, in
keeping brr shirt waist down and her
belt intact. Oue of the Lest ways to
anchor tie shirt waist so that it shall
not ride up over t be shoulder blades is
to strap it down ly means of a very nar
row piece f lieltiug and a small buckle.
Thii cau te drawu about tbe waist very
tightly cu the outside cf the shirtwaist,

two catch pins. By adoptiug this melh

Society Wemea aad Tailors.
It is rather unusual to find society
women taking an active iuterest in a
strike. Tbe ladies' tailors, however,
have succeeded io interesting some
prominent women in their grievances,
and tbe experience will be good for
both elements. Probably the women
themselves have some curiosity as to
what becomes cf tbe good round prices
which are paid to many tailf.Ts. The
workmen claim to reetive only starva
tion wages. The employers, on the other
hand, say that good workmen get good
wages aud that it is only the incoin
petut hands who are idle or ill paiiL
However this may lie, the striking
tailors s cm delighttd to have interest
ed these prominent women a delight,
it must be admitted, which their em
ployers do uot seem to share. At any
rate, the mote that women learn about
the workers, who, tttidir the inevitable
regime cf city life, i seldom come iuto

FOOD THAT IXJUKES.
THINGS THAT AFFLICTED PtRSOKS
HOJLD NOT EAT.

A. Little Advice ta the Great irar

A physician, writing in the Phila
delphia Inquirer on "roods and Their
Effect on the Human System," says:
That cut cf sorts feeling from which
most Gf cs suffer half the days of cur
life is usually due to our eating things
we shouldn't. Alt.boogb ws are cuU
rtructed ou the sanie model, scarcely
any two people have exactly tbe same
kind of beart, liver and other organs,
and as a rreult nothing is truer than
the saying that "One man's meat is an
itber man's poiscu. " -
Meat, for instance. Is a slow poison
to a cumber cf individuals. If there is
a gouty strain ia your family, you are
storing up future torture for yourself
every time yon eat a chop or piece cf
he f. Gout is 6imply the result of too
much uric acid in tbe blood, and meat
it full cf the material from which nrio
acid is made.
Yea may think that 60 long as yon
bare not to sit in an easy chair all day
there is no seed f ir precautions in diet
Ect the first symptoms are always
milJ, and if you feel irritable and un
able to settle down to work yon bad
better be careful bow much meat yon
out. Englishmen are said to be tbe
worst tempered people on earth. Tbay
are also tbe most gouty, and there can
bono doubt that they are tbe greatest
meat eaters.
Nothing is more nourishing than
sugar, yet it is absolutely poison to
these who are prone to diabetes, and
any one inclined to corpulency should
repaid it as a natural enemy. Two
lumps of aogar per day in excess of the
qc.ititity required by tbe body would
add 0 pounds to a man's weight in five
yeats that is, cf course, if be had tbe
sort cf constitution that easily puts on
flesh.
But it is not sugar alone which is in
jurious to diabetic and stout people.
Tbe former should not look at porridge,
rice, beet root, Spanish onions, port
wine, rum or giuger beer; the latter
should take neither soup, beer, potatoes
nor treacle, while gouty people should
not touch peas or beaus.
If any near member of your family
has St Vitus' dance or epilepsy, yoa
should eat meat very sparingly and
grapes net at all. while you might as
well think of committing suicide aa fre
quenting the barroom.
For dyspeptics it is impossible to say
what food is good, because everything
is bad. White bread remains undigest
ed for hours, brown bread is most irri
tating and injurious, vegetables are con
verted iuto gases and painful acids, and
most kinds cf meat are too heavy. Tbe
dyspeptic, in fact, ought never to have
been born.
However, since tbe sufferer from dys
pepsia must eat, let him follow tbisrule,
and it may bring relief: Eat a little of
evtry thing, but eat sparingly, never
leaviug the table with a sense of hav
ing eaten sufficient; eat slowly. Masti
cate all food thoroughly and never drink
while eating. -If he must drink, let him
driuk after he has finished eating.
No doubt tbe majority cf people see
no connection between their ailments
and tbe breakfast or dinner which they
have enjoyed. But there nre many per
sons who are so severely affected by par
ticular articles cf diet that there is no
question about tbe fact that tome kinds
of food nre more or less poisonous to us
all, although we may not suffer very
greatly after eating them. An acquaint
ance cf the writer's, fur example, falls
iuto convulsions if he eats a single
strawberry, and even the odor of straw
berry jam in tbe neighborhood of jam
factories almost throws him into a fit.
The writer knows a lady whose heart
comes to a stop if she eats on egg. Of
course sbe never intentionally eats one
dow, but frequently on taking a piece
cf cake or some kind , of pudding or
sauce ccutainiug eggs she swoons.
Many people get cramp in tbe stom
ach from eating honey, and more than
one death has resulted from this cause
Others are made violently eick by tbe
smell cf apples, and a patient of the
writer's has often averred that even tbe
sight cf Leet root seemed to suffocate
bini, while another bad to give op
drinking milk because it produced in
tense inflammation of the eyes.
Many kinds of fish cause serious ill
ne68. Lobsters and crabs produce most
painful itching in some people, and tbe
writer has known several who after eat
ing salmon felt a horrid taste in tbe
mouth, and soon after suffered so badly
from headache as to be compelled to go
to Led.
These latter are tbe extreme instances
of injury from food, but tbey prove that
thousands of people suffer in a less de
gree, aud that probably no oue can
lunch crdiue without swallowing some
thing poiscuon to his system.

Farm Notes and Views.
The beginning with a garden should
be really in the fall, aa such plants s
spinach, kale, salsify, dandelion, crew,
etc., cm be seeded down in the fall,
covered with mulch and be brought cn
the table very early in tbe ppring. A
pitch of turnips left in tbe ground in
the full will provide the beet kind of
early "greens," aud the same may 1
done with cabbage stalks, which, if
planted in tbe fall in a compact bed,
will take up but little room and throw
out sprouts early in the spring before
any other greet n crop comes. Later on
radishes, lettuce and rhubarb will be in
order, as tbey are hardy and can be
had before summer crops are seeded.
Asparagus comes almost by the time
frost is out of the ground. Half an
acre in a garden which baa been heav
ily manured will provide an enormous
supply of vtgetablee, as one crop can go
in as soon aa another is removed of
some kinds. Peas and onions, as well
as early potato s, may be bad with but
little difficulty if tbe ground ia sandy
and warm, but to secure early crops tbe
cultivation must be deep and thorough
and tbe land well drained, not by hav

The Philadelphia Record tells cf an
old Pennsylvania farmer who recently
came into possession of a check for
$200. It caused hira a greai deal of anx

Finally, while on a trip to town, he
summoned up nerve enough and, stroll

Tbe toller glanced at it hastily, aud
then, after the fashion cf bis kind,

valuable to some. A trench is dug and
the liottotu filled with cement mortar.
On this Is placed a robber tube covered
with canvas and inflated. The trench
U then fi'led with cement. As soon
as tbe cement sets air is let out of the
rubber tube, which is then removtd
at J nseJ in another location or section.
By thin method it t estimated that six

A LAKE PILOT'S LEG.
Haw It Suited the Myterr '
IV reek of m Steam Propeller.
"We are never amazed wbeu vessels
go aground and are wrecktd cn Laka
Krie during the gales that are common
oa tbat treacherous water, for we ex
pect such things then." said a lake
skipper, "tut when oue is grounded on
a clear day and wrecked ou a course as
clear a the day in tbe bands of a pilot
tbat knows the groaud like a bon wo
naturally wonder a little and want to
know tbe whys aud wherefores. Such
was ths care cf the propeller Scsau K
Peck tbat weut astouad near Bar point
aad was lost with a f 20,000 cargo.
"The captaiu of tbe Susau B. bad
sailed suctes.-lQlly hundreds cf times
between Poiut Pelee and Bar point sud
in all kinds cf weather, aud this time
he Lad a wheelman who was known
from one end cf tbe Juke to tbe other as
one cf tbe most expert navigator in
the lake Lusiue-s. He had been lying
up a long tiino, for tbe very good reason
that owing to au accident to oue of bis
legs tbat kg had to be amputated to
save his life. Tbe lost member was re
placed by au artificial leg. and then tbe
pilot was ready to take his post at the
wheel again. His first service after bis
misfortune was this trip of the Sussu
E. Peck, aud he ran her aground.
"The puzzle to everybody was bow
it was possible fur tbe propeller, han
dled by a man cf such still and experi
ence, cn a straight course only 40 miles
Jong and with every sailing coudition
favorable, to leave berconr.se. Tbe pilot
was tbe most puzzled and astouuded
person of all. He soon got another ves
sel, and this one he rau iu such au er
ratic manner, but fortunately with no
disastrous result tlat be was compelled
to give ber up, aud bis usefoluets as a
pilot was goue. He aud ethers went to
iuvestigutiug to see if tbey could dis
cover whit vras wrong with bis sea
manship.
"After awhile they discovered what
thev believed was the trouble. In the
pilot's artificial leg a great deal cf steel'
bad been used iu the joints ana otner
places. Sitting close to the biunacle, as
he did while steering, this steel derang
ed the compass so that it threw tae
wheelman way off bis reckouiug aud
ldd to the wrong piloting that h.id
wrecked the Susan E. Peck aud endan
gered the other vessel that the wheel
man navipated subsequently This was
what tbty argued, aud to demonstrate
the cainctuess of tbe theory the pilot
tock charge cf a vessel without wear
iug bis fule leg. Everything worked to
a cbarm. The mystery of the Susau E
Ptt-k was solved, &ud tbe pilot was re
stored t his old plare iu the confidence
of Lake Krie skippers aud vessel own
ers. " New Y'nrk Suu.
Sooth Aiaerlra'a Suicide Wlad. "
Id Brazil and other parts cf South
America tbe natives kuow and fear a
certain condition cf the air which they
call "suicide wind."
It is not a superstition, but an actual
condition cf tbe atmosphere wuicli
seems to drive the people to maduess.
aud during its continuance self inflict
ed deaths are uumerous.
Criminologists aud scientists all over
the world are interested in this peculiar
atmospherio influence, which is indi
cated by a soft, moist warm air that
settles heavily on the tarth.
Tbe climatic condition known as tbe
"snicide wind" is greatly dreaded in
tbat part of the country.
Statistics prove that suicides and oth
er crimes occur together or in waves as
they are described.

Defeat at an Election,
A Congressman is thus quoted by tte
Washington Star: "The first race I
ever made for Congress resulted in my
defeat by less than fifty majority, snd
if one of my friends bad not bee o too
zealous I would bave been elected
There wa a preciuct where I expected
to receive a hundred votes, and I fear
ed there would be some fraud in the
precinct that would injure me; so I
got an old man who had never parlici
pated in polities, but who had almost
paramount influence in the district, to
take charge of my interest there, in
structing him to see tbat every friend
of mice voted aud that the votes wtre
counted.
"When the returns came in I had
not received a single vote in tliatpn
cinct, and the next day a bulky en
velope was handed me containing one
hundred and twenty ballots, tog.-tlier
ith a letter from the man I bad left
in charge saying that be bad seen
every friend of mine and taken up
their ballots so that none w iuI I he
missed, and as he wouldn't trust the
Judges cf elcc'ion he had s-ut them to
me blnnelf so I would b sure to get
them. Since then I have seen to it
that men in charge of my interests
were riot only honest, but kuew some
thing abut politic."

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
SAVED FOUR HUNDRED.
The Beaatifal Story ot the 5aerte
or llamajrnehl Gohel.
It is a beautiful story to!d by Lafca
dio Iharn cf au old n:au whr.sa great
deed belongs to Jaj snese history. He
was Hamaenchi. and Lis fsrmhousa
stood on tbe verge ft a stuall plateau
overlooking tbe bsv. The plateau,
mc-tly devoted to rice culture, was
hemmtd in ca three sides by thickly
wooded summits, and from the outer
verpe the land sloped djvvu to the sea.
Below were H th-itched dwellings and
a temple; these ccir jcsed the villas.
One autuum evening Hainaguchl Go
bei was locking down from his balcony
cu tbe preparation for seme merry
making ia the hamlet below. All tbe
villagers were out, and be would have
Koue with them bad he not been feeling
less strong thau tfoiul.
Suddenly there came an earthquake
shock, not a very strong cue. but Hmu
aguchi, who bad felt many before this,
thought there was something odd in its
long, spongy motion. As tbs quaking
ceased, be chanced to look toward the
sea. and there ti saw the strangest pos
sible sight. It seemed to Le ruuning
a way from the laud.
Apparently the whole vi!lagtbad no
ticed it, for tho people stood still in
wcndrimcnt ; culy Haniaguchi dre ar
any conclusions from the phenomenon
and guessed what the sea would do next
He called his little grandson, a lad of
10, tba only cue of the family left with
him.
"Tada! Quick! Light me a torch !"
The child kindled a pine torch, and
the old man hurried with it to tbe
fields, where hundreds cf rice stacks
stood rtady for transportation. Oue by
oue he lighted tbem in haste, and they
caught like tiuder, sending skyward
masses cf smoke that met aud mingled
in nni) cloudy whirl. Tada, astouished
aad terrifi'-d, ran after bis grandfather,
weeping, calling. "Why? why? why?"
Hatcaguehi did not answer. He
thought only cf 400 lives iu peril. He
watched for tho people, and in a mo
ment ouly tbey came swarming up from
the village like ant a.
And still tbe sea was fleeing toward
the horiaou. The first party of succor
arrived, a score cf ngile young peasant,
who wanted to attack the fire at once,
but Hauiaguchi, stretching cut both
his arms, stopped tlit ni.
"Let it burn, lads!" be commanded.
"Let it Le. I want tbe whole village
here."
The whole village came, mothers and
children last cf all. drawn by concern
aud curiosity.
"Grandfather is mad. I am afraid of
him," sobbed little Tada. "He set fire
to the rics on purpose. I saw him do it. "
"As for the lice," said Hamaguchi,
"the child tells tbe truth. 1 set fire to
it. Are all the people here?"
"All are here," was the at-swer.
"But we cauuot understand tbia thiug."
"See!" cried the old man at the top
cf his voice, pointing to the open. "S.:y
if I be mad !"
It was th returning sea, towering
like a rliff and coursing swifter than
the kite. There was a shock, heavier
thau thunder, ns the colossal swell
smote the shorn with a foam burst like
a 1 laze cf sheet lightning.
Thtu a white horror cf sea waved
over tiie vi!!agi? itself. It drew ba-jk.
roaring cud tearing out the laud ns it
went Twice, thrice, five times it struck
and eLbud, each time with lesser surges,
aud tbeu it retcrued to, its ancient bed
aud staid there, although still racing.
Of all the homes about the bay, noth
ing remained but two straw roofs toss
ing madly iu the oif.ng. All lips were
durab,n3ti Hamaguchi observed gently :
"That was why I set fire to the rice. "
He was now poor as the poorest iu all
the village, but he had saved 4C0 lives.

Those who buy wheat and corn for
fowls should try millet seed. The seeds
are very small and are more erfect as
a ration for laying hens than grain
Aa advantage in using millet seedis
that the fowls must eat slowly, as tliey
will be compelled to bunt for everv
seed, and by 90 doing will bave more
exercise. The c t of the commercial
8-ed should b no greater than for
wheat, and every poultrymau should
grow a small patch of millet if the stsd
is difficult to procure. Millet is a sum
mer p!ant, and peed not be needed in
until May cr June.
