Walking Exercise.
In a brisk walk of twenty minutes'
duration a person brings into play all
the muscles of the body, the abdominal
organs are shaken into activity, the
lungs are filled with fresh air and are
thus assisted In their natural function
of purifying the blood, the action of
the heart is quickened and strength
ened, so that the blood, well aerated in
the lungs, flows abundantly to the
brain and washes out all the poison
with which work and worry clog it.
Every business man with a sedentary
occupation ought to walk to and from
bis office if it is possible, as he would
derive great benefit from the practice.
Curious Beehives.
In the village of Hoefel, Silesia, there
are a number of beehives in the shape
of life size figures cleverly carved in
wood and painted in colors. The fig
ures were carved more than a century
ago by monks of the Npumburg mon
astery, who were at that time in pos
session of a large farm in the district.
The beehives represent different char
acters, ranging from Moses to a mili
tary officer, a country girl and a night
watchman with a spear.

Montezuma's C*otla.
In the Verde valley, twenty-six miles
southeast of Clarkdale, Ariz., Is a re
markable ruin known as Montezuma'*
castle. It is one of the finest and best
preserved monuments left by a people
known as the ancient cliff dwellers.
The castle is on the right bank of the
beautiful tree fringed Beaver «reek.
three miles from the inland town of
Camp Verde, and occupies a natura*
depression in the vertical limestone
cliff 340 feet from the stream and
eighty feet above it. The castle propt
er is five stories, each story receding
by several feet, and is substantially
built. The masonry is admirable when
it is considered the rude stone imple
ments with which the builders had t<»
work. The stones are squared and
faced and laid in cement that has stooc 1
the wear of centuries. The lintels over
the doors are of hewn cedar. Seen
from a distance, it is very striking. In
the perpendicular front of the white
and gray and yellow limestone cliff,
about halfway up. is a huge circular
natural cavity, and therein stands the
noble pile of Montezuma's castle.—Ex

Our Wisdom Teeth.
The wisdom teeth are the four last
molar teeth to grow. They come one
on each side of each jaw and arrive
somewhere between the ages of twen
ty and twenty-five years. The name
is given them because it is supposed
that when a person has developed
physically and mentally to the point
where he has secured these last four
teeth he has also arrived at the age of
discretion. It floes not necessarily
mean that one who has cut his wisdom
teeth is wise, but that, having lived
long enough to grow these, which com
plete the full set of teeth, the person
has passed sufficient actual years that,
if he has done what he should to fit
himself for life, he should have come
by that time at the age of discretion
or wisdom. As a matter of fact, these
teeth grow at about the same age in
people whether they are wise or not.—

An Odd Court Incident.
Sensational incidents are not uncom
mon in the closing stages of famous
criminal trials. One of the most re
markable occurred in Melbourne on the
last day of tbe trial of Ned Kelly,
known as the "ironclad bushranger of
Australia." A knife dropped from a
gallery overhead and fell at the feet of
the desperado in the dock. He had
every temptation to grasp it and put
an end to his existence, for there was
QOt the slightest chance of his escap
ing the gallows. But it was promptly
picked up by a bailiff, and its owner
was arrested and brought before the
Judge. He pleaded that the occurrence
was purely accidental, and the explana
tion was accepted by the court.
Burying the Hatchet.
This expression, meaning "let by
gones be bygones," is derived from a
custom once in vogue among the North
American Fndians. According to a
command of the "great spirit," they
were obliged, when they smoked the
pipe of peace, to bury in the ground
their tomahawks, scalping knives and
war clubs in token that all enmity
was at an end.

The Macgregora.
The Macgregors were forbidden to
use their family name in 1603. The
proscription was removed by Charles

the name was granted to Sir Charles
Macgregur, up to then known as "Mur

Funaton's Nicknam*.
General Frederick Funston * was a
member of the Phi Delta Theta frater
nity at the University of Kansas. The
general's fraternity brothers at Kansas
knew him as "Timmy." This nickname
came about through the poor writing of
the fraternity member who sent in the
names of the pledges the year Funston
became a Phi Delt. The name was
printed "Timston" in the Phi Delta
Theta magazine, and in the form of
"Timmy" stuck to the stocky, cocky
collegian throughout his college career.
