PHYSICAL CULTURE.
As Good For the Business Man as For
the Soldier In Training.
If physical culture is needed for
those who bear arms in defense of the
country why Should it not be applied
als'> to the soldiers of the business and
profes ional world, the men in the com
mercial trench* s.' If a certa: ..umb<y

The soft muscled clerk, the devital
ized student, the overworked business
man—they need awakening. Now, in
r;any instances they are but little
more than human ciphers, 2.">, 50 or T">
per cent men. With a little properly
dire .ted exercise they could be fitted
fur the ranks of tne 100 per centers.
Six hours weekly, twd hours fo;
three days each week, would put the
average flabby ' muscled, sedentary
worker in tine shape. It would square
Ins shoulders, stiffen his backbone, put
some energy and enthusiasm into his
makeup. It would make a real man of
him.
Every man who is not in training
* should begin now. If he cannot train
with other men let him follow a system
of home training. Hard muscles,
strong, stable nerves, high grade en
durance—in short, a physique as "hard
as nails"—should be the ambition of
every sensible man.—Physical Culture.
BRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Head and Physical Marks of Intel
ligence In Children.
In summing up his conclusions on
the relationship ol intelligence to the
size and shape of t lie head Karl Pear
son is quoted in the Journal of Hered
ity as making these statements about
the intelligence of children:
•'To sum up, then, while no charac
ters in school children so far dealt with
show very high correlation, with intelli
gence, we may yet say that Uie intelli
gent boy is markedly conscientious, is
moderately robust, athletic and popu
lar; he tends rather to quick than to
sullen temper. lie is more self con
scious and quieter than the dull boy:
he has a slightly bigger head and pos
sibly lighter pigmentation than those
of more mediocre intelligence. His hah
has a larger percentage of curliness.
"The intelligent girl is also markedly
conscientious, moderately robust, ath
letic and popular. She, too, tends to
■quick rather than sullen temper. She is
less self conscious than the dull girl
and noisier than the girl of mediocre
intelligence. It is the slow girl who is
<juiet and shy. The intelligent girl has
a slightly bigger head than the dull
girl, and her hair is more likely to be
wavy and much less likely to be curly."

St. Sophia's Palimpsest.
Travelers who have visited the great
Mohammedan mosque of St. Sophia in
Constantinople tell of the visibility of
in scriptions made in the interior of the
building when it was a Christian
church. These had been painted over
by the Moslem conquerors, but time
defeated their purpose of total efface
nient, says the Christian Herald. Over
the entrance is the inscription in Latin,
"I am the door; by me if any man en
ter iu he shall be saved and shall go in
and out, and he shall find pasture."
The bricks in the great dome in the in
terior reveal this inscription: "Peus in
medio eius; non commovebitur. Adiu
vabit earn Dens vultu suo." The trans
lation may be found in PSalm xlvi, 5.
These facts are of interest in view of
the present tottering condition of the
Moslem power.
Presidential Golf.

aside to let the president "go through."
That's a way they have at Washington.
Mr. Wilson drove, and his ball shot off
into precisely the place where he didn't
want it to go. Experiences of that sort

ONE WAY TO WOO SLEEP.
Travel In Memory Some Road You
Knew Well In Childhood.
It is bard for me to remember now
that my knowledge <>f tbe sleepy road,
gained so many years ago. ame only
through tbe chame I>lr of advice drop
ped by a \visc, kind, weary old doctor
as he shuflled :;t midnight d »wn the
corridor of the silent bospit 1. says the
Atlantic Monthly.
Whatever was the errand <>f lift? oi
death that had called him in such
haste, he bad time to stop and give me
a friendly word, although 1. a small
and incorrigibly sleepless patient, wa>
sitting bolt upright among the pillows
in defiance of all his orders and was
staring wide eyed into the hot. pah:
haunted dark.
"You think you are never going to be
able to sleep again, don't you:" he ob
served. "Well, shut your eyes and do
just what I tell you. Think of some
road that you know well, a good long
road that winds and turns and show
yon water and woods and hills. Keep
your eyes tight shut and travel along
it in memory. Go as slowly as yon
can, recall every sight and sound and
perfume as you pass by.
"I have such a road of my own, the
one I used to walk to school when 1
was eight years old. I have started
out on it a hundred times when I
thought I could not sleep, but I never
get very far. I come just about to the
old stone bridge over Damon's creek or
perhaps to the swimming hole, where
the willows dip into the brown water,
but I never reach the end."
FACING THE CAMERA.
Don't Dress Up and Don't Pose When
Having a Picture Taken.
"There are many things I would like
to say to the woman who intends hav
ing her picture taken," said a famous
photographer the other day.
"Many women come to me and say:
'Of course you prefer taking actresses.
They must have many advantages over
those women who never have time but
to give an occasional glance in their
mirrors.' This is entirely a mistake.
The conscious pose never makes a sat
isfactory portrait. I would say en»
phatically to the woman who goes to
have her photograph made not to re
hearse her pose and facial expression
beforehand.
"I always find it difficult to impress
on the woman coming to my studio
that clothes and jewels are of abso
lutely no account in a photograph. If*u
woman comes to be photographed in
the clothes she is used to wearing she
will feel at ease and therefore look her
best.
"One of the curses of our present day
civilization is the ever changing ques
tion of fashion. How much more civ
ilized were the Japanese, who realized
that the kimono was perhaps the most
perfect dress for women at all times—
who only varied it with different bro
cades and girdles. The photograph that
concerns itself with clothes is soon out
of fashion, and no matter how good a
likeness of the face has been obtained,
the picture is grotesque in a few years
because the clothes are passe."
The Professor Worried.
The absent minded professor from
the university town was in Indianap
olis attending a convention. While in
the city he took a tour of the larger de
partment stores. In one of them he
was much perplexed.
He read the sign over the door of the
elevator:
"This car express to fifth and sixth
floors. Up only."
Absently he read the sign again.
Then the car door opened.
"I would like to know," be asked the
elevator boy, "if this elevator goes only
up, how on earth did you get down
here?"
The elevator boy grinned, frowned,
scrutinized the man closely and then
said in a dignified voice. "Oh, 1 just
came down."—lndianapolis News.

WILL PROTECT TENANTS.
Way Found to Keep Tradesmen Away
From Apartment Dwellers.
Milwaukee. Tradesmen, including
the butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker, will not swarm about
apartment houses to the annoyance of
tenants if the recommendations de
vised by the management of one of
Milwaukee's most modern establish
ments are generally adopted.
In brief, patrons are urged to do
their trading with but one grocer, one
milkman, one iceman, one lauudryman
and the like. The quality of service
rendered is expected to,determine the
selection of favorites. By this means
the leaseholder, it is expected, will not
be awakened at an unseemly hour by
the merry rattle of cans or clink of
bottles as squad after squad of milk
men go trooping over the premises.
SOLDIERS ABOARD VATERLAND
German Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry
Found on Big Steamship.
Hoboken, N. J.—Twenty-five German
soldiers in full uniform were found
on the big liner Vaterland in Ho
boken. They were discovered by a cus
toms guard in a cabin of the liner.
Some of them were infantrymen, oth
ers artillerymen and a few cavalry
men.
But—they were made of tin.
The box of them, which had appar
ently been left behind by a youthful
passenger on the liner's last trip here
and put aside by a steward to delight
some future small passenger, was taken
to the pier with other articles, and Col
lector Malone was notified.
The collector decided to present them
to Commodore Hans Ruser, Jr., son of
the Vaterland's captain, who is living
with his mother in Hoboken. Young
Commodore Hans was delighted with
the gift. When he opened the box he
vsked if it was Christina*.

attached to the door of Temple church
In Eleet street, London. The key weighs

and, unlike other keys, it was not made

Bret Harte and the West.
The west is still au indefinite term,
and many things have been called
Tv -stem which more strictly were far
western. The efflorescence of Cell* r
a in the brilliant satire, o? Bret
Harte. to name Mm only who was firnt
of the Californians, was an effect of
the east in the new conditions of the
Pacific sloi>e. It had no root in the
soil, and none of the poets who formed
the San Francisco school of Ilarte's
day. were of California birth, much
less culture. They were only western
by sojourn.
Ilarte himself, who was first of them,
had greater originality in his verse
than in his prose, but he was born in
and grew up in Albany. The literary
atmosphere which he breathed in tin
west was, as it were, piped from tbi
east, and his ambition was. as the gen
erous expectation of his fellow exiles
was for him. to suggest in his prose the
literary art of Dr. Holmes.—William
Dean Howells in Harper's Magazine.
Toothbrushes.
The toothbrush, now au indispensa
ble article of toilet, is but little older
than the American republic ifself. X< r
even Lord Chesterfield used one, for,
writing to his son in 1734, he said:
"I hope you take great care of your
mouth and teeth and that you clean
them every morning with a sponge
and tepid water with a few drops of
arquebusade water dropped into it. I
do insist upon your never using those
sticks or any hard substance whatever
which always rub away the gums and
destroy the varnish of the teeth."
In "Henry Esmond" Thackeray made
Lord Castlewood spend "a tenth part
of his day in the brushing of his teeth
and the oiling of his hair," and in doing
so the novelist committed, a double an
achronism. Not only was the tooth
brush unknown, but during the first
half of the eighteenth century all fine
gentlemen wore wigs and had no use
for oil on their hair.—New York Sun.
Strange Proof of Heredity.
So far as his work is concerned we
remember a rascally poet named Rich
ard Savage for one solitary line—that
in which he speaks of the "tenth trans
mitter of a foolish face." It catchily
conveys the notion of heredity and sug
gests the sort of wonderful family like
ness of which one has just been told to
the. Royal Society of Medicine.
The first Earl of Shrewsbury, who
died in 1453, was born with a physica'
peculiarity—the little finger and the
finger adjoining on each hand had only
one joint, the first two bones being
united. The same abnormality affected
all the toes except the big ones. To
day in a direct masculine descendant
of the first earl the same extraordinary
formation persists. It was transmitted
to him by his father and to his father
from his grandfather and has come
down unchanged through nearly 500
years, passing through fourteen gener
ations.—London Standard.
Defining a Wife.
The pretty schoolteacher had asked
her class for the best original defini
tion of "wife," and the boy in the cor
ner promptly responded, "A rib."
She locked at him reproachfully and
nodded to the boy with dreamy eyes,
who seemed anxious to say something.
"Man's guiding star and guardian an
gel," he said in response to the nod.
"A helpmeet," put in a little flaxen
haired girl.
"One who soothes man in adversity,"
suggested a demure little girl.
"One who makes a man hustle," was
the next suggestion.
"And keeps him from making a fool
of himself." put in another girl.
"Some one for a man to find fault
with when things go wrong," said a
sorrowful little maiden.
"Stop there." said the schoolteacher.
"That's the best definition." Pitts

ALFONSO'S PLIGHT
King of Spain has Overplayed
His Popularity.
ONCE STOOD WELL WITH ALL
His Youth, Physical Energy and Gen
uine Interest In We'fare of His Coun
try Made a Great Appeal to the Pop
ular Imagination, but Recent Events
Have Changed Opinion.
Barcelona. Spain.— Five years aero a
Spanish roj ufolic was tut a wild dream
In the minds of a few irreconcilable
extremists. The Republican leaders
had no prestige whatever in the coun
try at large, and their following was
foeing reduced to a mere handful. The
causes of this were, of many,
but everybody agreed that among them
the personal influence of the king was
paramount. That young sovereign
| seemed to be chosen by fate or Provi- i
deuce to gather around him all sections
of his people and lead them united to
great destinies. Today things have alt
together changed. This is no exagger
ation. but the naked truth plainly
stated.
A little retrospect is necessary for j
the better understanding of the present
KING ALFONSO OK BPAI.N.
situation. As soon as he was able to
move about unfettered King Alfonso
appeared and to a certain extent proved
himself to be a ruler with an open
mind, a keen perception ot" realities, u
genuine interest in the welfare of th > j
country and an earnest desire to pro
mote it by all means in his power. His
youth and physical energy appealed to
the popular imagination as symbols of
hope and power, but his achievements
as a polo player and a crack shot and
his undeniable qualities as an all round
sportsman were perhaps more praised
abroad than appreciated at home.
The high water mark of popularity
was reached when, two years before
the breaking out of the war, King Al
fonso called to counsel several promi
nent men of the Spanish political Left
Among other representative personali
ties there went to the royal palace Pro
fessor Azcarate. Although no publicity
was given to the interviews, both these
men admitted privately that the kinn
had made on them the best of impres
sions. Simultaneously with this royal
move the right wing of the Republican
party detached itself from the old fold,
made clear its acceptance of the mo
narchical regime and formed a new po
litical party, which was styled the Re
formist party. Everything then seemed
to point toward a future of close co
operation and understanding between
the crown and the democracy.
The king, however, if not unwilling,
was at any rate unable to follow
energetically the path of liberalism and
reform, and as far back as three years
ago the disappointment of the Spanish
people had already begun. Then came
the war and the sharp divisiou of the
country into pro-Germans and pro-al
lies. The king was credited with pro
ally leanings. lie devoted himself to
the relief of prisoners of war of all na
tionalities and did very good work,
particularly in locating prisoners be
lieved to have been killed. He has
been in personal communication with
thousands of families in all belligerent
countries. But when all is said it must
foe recognized that kind heartedness and
willingness to oblige are poor substi
tutes for statesmanship.

The Danger of Lying In Bed.
Lack of muscular exercise is the first
result of lying in bed. As a result the
appetite is weakened. the digestive ac
tion slows down and the muscles of
the stomach aiul abdomen loa -o to act
upon the intestinal mass. When th •
body is in a recumbent p* sition the
heart works with the least expendi
ture of effort and the least fatigue and
the circulation and the functional activ
ity are decreased. But unless the sub
ject is exceptionally vigorous all the
leuetits are counterbalanced by dan
gers. In bed the subject is shut away
j from fresh air and sunlight. The re
sult of that deprivation is a condition
similar to anaemia. Hut the supreme
menace to the weak or the aged con
fined to bet! is the clogging of the pul
monary circulation, an action which
frequently results in passive conges
tion of both sides of the lungs. For
this reason the simple fracture of a
bone may be the cause of death, be
cause when the patient lies in bed there
is no movement of the muscles to act
as an incentive to deep breathing.
Writers and Artists Too.
George Du Maurier was an artist,
who turned author after making a
J European fame with the pencil as a
satirist of society. He suddenly star
tied the world with "Trilby' and set
two continents comparing feet. With
him nove.' writing seemed his tru«
forte, buf ne had started too late. 11 •
j enjoyed his new fame only a few years.
Even Thackeray tried art before he
found his true vocation, and he illus
■ trated several of his own books even
then. That is a very, piquant story
which tells of Thackeray calling on
Charles Dickens to see if he could get
the commission to illustrate one of his
earlier novels. He had not written
"Vanity Fair" then.
I A very distinguished artist-author
was Dante Gabriel RossettL He was
supreme in both arts. He was one of
the greatest poets and certainly one of
the greatest artists of the last century.
No Harm In Cucumbers.
The cucumber Is not, in any sense, a
poison nor an injurious vegetable.
Sprinkling the sliced eucumber with
salt is unnecessary. It does not "draw
out" any poison. It only wilts the veg
etable and renders it less appetizing.
The harm resulting from eating cu
cumbers is due to the neglect to thor
oughly chew the cucumber slices be
fore swallowing them. All foods, green
ones in particular, need to be most
thoroughly masticated before they are
swallowed. The cucumber gives, zest
to a meal, especially If it be served
cold and crisp. In preparing the cu
cumber first peel it and then slice it
in very thin slices and place these In
; plain ice water to soak and become
crisp. It requires an hour for this

Paraguay's "Spider Lace."
Missionaries in Paraguay more than

and in certain of the towns lace in a king
is the chief occupation. Almost all the
women, many children and not a few
men are engaged in this industry. A
curious fact with reference to the Par
aguayan laces is that the designs were
borrowed from the strange webs wov
en by the semltropical spiders that
abound in that country. Accordingly
this lace is. by the natives called nan
duti, which means "spider web."—Ex
