The wrong way to go up stairs, ac

Is to lean over, contract the chest,
hoop the shoulders, and bend the
whole body forward from the waist.
The person who goes up stairs In this
way will be exhausted at tht top of
even a short flight. Yet stair climbing
properly done Is considered a good ex

chest expanded, the shoulders back,
with no bend whatever of the body at

women who want to be in fashion can
sew anything worth having, but some
of thorn have a good knack at it. The
making of stocks and collars has tend
ed to cultivate the almost forgotten
art among women, and almost every
one who goea away this summer takes
with her some of this sort of work to
do. It looks well and Is not without
Its effect upon the masculine mind. A
woman engaged in needlework on a

if she has other qualities as well. Soma
women who really desire to make

take with them small sewing machines
which are inexpensive and take up lit

What Women Far.
Cynically disposed persons have
commented with more or less acerbity
and perhaps with more or less Justice
upon the conventional woman's lunch,
afternoon tea, and reception refresh
ments, which in the post have con
sisted largely of Ice cream and cro
quettes, chocolate bonbons, angel cake,
and other such lady-like and ethereal
foods, with occasional dawdllngs over
pie or bold Indulgence In the unspeak
able oyster cocktail. The same cynics
hove doubted whether woman would
rise to the fun demands of the 2uth
century new woman, or successfully
compare with the man of any of the
eld centuries, so long has she fed
upon the K)iphllie food she prefers.
It Is time now for the cynics to look
about them and ascertain whether the
Ice cream and croquette woman's
lumh is not nnclent history and see
if women have not outgrown that
habit. Two or three of the well known
restaurateurs In New York tell a sig
nificant story. One of th-m, who
freds between 5000 and 6000 persons
every noon, mostly women, says there
Is no tee cream lunching In his place.
His women customers wish something
hearty, and they wish It good, and
wiBh It right off. They order sub
stantial food, such as cold meats, pork
and beans, corned beef hash, baked
potatoes, hot roll3, tea, ceffee, etc.
This Is significant, if true, and it
Is perhaps the loudest warning men
l.ave had that they should wake up
ind look to ilseir privileges and not
rest on their arms conVnteilly be
cause they have Deen lords of creation
since Adam's time. When women

herself from this pernicious habit, re

LESSON OF B0EU WAR.
THE CONFLICT HAS IMPROVED THE
SCIENCE OF FICHTINC.'
Ability to Take fenr anil ta t!ee the
Ornnnd la F.uentlal ta .IHclory Fa
cility With Which tiuu May He Knr.
prlaod I. ! In Hattle Vary Small.
The military expert ot the London
Dally News has recently discussed In
an interesting manner In what ways
the conflict In South Africa has add
ed to the science of war. Necessar
ily the nature ot the fighting was such
that many of the more important prob
4ura have been left untouched, and
will remain so until a war arises be
tween two nations which are more
equally matched, In which both sldea
make use of large bodies of troops.
At the same time, the writer finds that
the sum total of military knowledge
has gained decidedly by the experience,
of the British troops. He has divided
his subject into four parts: First,
certain theoretical conclusions which
have been confirmed by practical ex
periment; second, certain other theo
retical conclusions which have been
proved false by practical experiment;
third, certain doubtful question upon
which theory was fairly evenly divid
ed, which have been settled one way
or the other; and. Anally, certain quite
urexpected results vhlch theory had
not been able to foresee.
Under the first head he has fount)
the following theories proved In prac
tice: That the ability to take cover
and to me the ground Is essential to
efficiency; that until the last rush ad
vance must be made In very extended
order; that scouting Is at once more
difficult and more Important: that
guns within 1200 yards of Infantry
can be picked off, and, unless very
strongly supported, will be lost, and
that a defensive position can be held
by a somewhnt smaller number of men
proportionately than was the case
with the older weapons. He points
out that these facts were all but cer
tain before the actual warfare began,
and that all of them have played a
great part 1 nthe continental manoeu
vres. At the same time, the confirma
tion of these theories In practice has
come In rather the light of a revela
tion; for, despite the elaborate text
books on the subject, the testimony
of skilled observers at last year's man
oeuvres In both the French and Ger
man armies was to the effect that
close formation and old-time practices
were still much In evidence.
It is to the credit ot military theo
rists that there is little to record un
der the second head. One or two
points have been noted; for example,
the theoretical difficulty of holding a
railway line, which had seemingly
been greatly exaggerated. The ease
with which Kitchener guarded his hun
dreds of miles of railway would not.
of course, have been duplicated had
he been confronted by large bodies
ot trained troops well equipped with
artillery, but the difficulty ot the task
under any conditions has shown itself
not to be so great as the experts have
asserted.
Under the third head, however,
nich that la momentous had happened.
The war has decided the enormous
advantage of possessing a mobile yet
heavy piece aide by side with one's
ordinary field battel 'es. Much of the
Boer, advantage in the early part of
the war came from the few heavy
guns they possessed. And, again, the
moral effect of artillery which has
been much disputed, Is surely settled
by this war. At Elandstaagte a cou
ple of guns Btanding up to the fight
ing to the very last moment all but
aved the Boer position, although they
were Aghtlng one to six. On the oth
er hand, at Magersfontein It was the
guns that prevented a disaster, and
the News expert asserts that In no
single case throughout the war have
troops been able to advance where
they were opposed even by a much
less number ot guns than is thought
necessary by a continental army. An
other thing which was proved was the
facility with which guns may be sur
prised; but the most Interesting con
clusion, perhaps, Is that the value of
shock tactics in the cavalry can no
longer be denied, silencing once and
forever those theorists who have held
that the role ot cavalry had been re
duced to scouting. .J'The moral effect
of a great body of horsemen (although
they can always be checked by un
shaken Infantry) has, for Infantry in
the least demoralized, much ot the
terror which It formerly possessed."
In proof of this he points to Bracken
laagte,' where an Inferior body of Boers
rode down the British rear guard; to
Tweebosh, where an Inferior force of
Boers not only rode down the British,
but did it over a level approach of be
tween three and four miles; and the
escape ot the Boers last February,
when they drove through the main
line of railway. And he further points
out that the Boers were not cavalry,
and were not armed with cavalry wea
pons, but gained their end simply by
the use of their galloping horses, the
Inference being that with regular cav
alry much more might be accom
plished. Another point gained Is the
knowledge ot how perfectly cavalry
may be massed under cover ot ground
without the enemy knowing it.
The most important point of mod
ern warfare the value of great strat
egic fortresses like Metz, Portsmouth,
Eplnal and Spezzta has not been test
ed, and the advocates ot the two theo
ries, taht such strongholds can or can
not arrest Indefinitely the advance of
the enemy, will form an Impenetrable)
barrier against Invasion or will break
down, have still an open Held before
them. Ladysmlth was never assault
id,1 except when the one undisciplined
rush was mad on It, and Pretoria was
never besieged. So that It was Impossi
ble to learn whether such great forta
as separate France from Germany can
be rushed under modern conditions.
As to the unexpected lessons of the
war, four are noted. The first Is the
very small losses In battle. In South
Africa this was partly due to the char
acter of the war; but It wa also part
ly due to the nature of modern wea
pons, and especially to the length of
the modern range. In the second
place, the value of small machine guns
as range finders (a discovery ot the
Boers) Is of capital Importance. It
Is the most effectual method of con
cealing the range of one's artillery
when It opens Are. Third, the maga
zine rifle has proved Itself to be a
much less terrible weapon than waa
Imagined. And, Anally (and what the
News expert regards as most Import
ant), the extreme flatness of the tra
ectory of the modern rifle has creat
ed behind the Arlng lines of the op
ponents, even at the longest range, a
zone through which It Is often impossi
ble to bring up water, ammunition,
reserves, etc. It probably Is the chlni
lesson of the war. and was proved
Incontestably at Magersfontein. New

CUNNING OF BR'ER FOX.
Aa Incident That Show Itoyaard'a Few
ar af lteatnnlng.
A well authenticated story comes
from North Carolina which seems to
rove that foxes, if they have not eual
reasoning powers with the human race,
are at least endowed with an excellent
Imitation. The story Is vouched for
by John B. Evans, chairman of the
Republican state committee; J. C. L.
Harris, secretary of that committee;
R. W. Logan, the United States com
missioner, and J. D. MUler. One
morning recently they were fox hunt
ing. The weather was cool and crisp
and there was Just enough dampness
on the leaves and grass to give the
dogs good scent. A fox was soon un
earthed and kept running In a circle
about three miles In extent. A knoll
In the center overlooked the entire
course and after the hunt had con
tinued for some considerable time
the fox made for a giant and venera
ble chestunt tree which had fallen
across a ravine. Into the hollow tree
dashed the fox, the dogs behind about
150 yarJs behind. Reynard was seen
to emerge from the other end ot the
log and soon made off through the
forest.
The dogs were thrown off the scent
at the hollow log, but soon caught It
again across the ravine and kept up
the chase for about half an hour or
more. Then the fox once more
disappeared In the holow log to.
emerge as before. The dogs again
trailed on, but In about another thir
ty minutes the fox tor the third time
entered the log and still again disap
peared In the forest across the ravine.
The dogs were about used up by this
time, though the fox appeared to be
quite fresh after the third trip through
the log. The hunters noticed this tin,
accountable circumstances and began
to suspect something. They securely
closed up one end of the log and when
Reynard for the fourth time entered
they closed up the other end. Then
they procured axes and cut Into the
tree. Their reward came In the shape
of three foxes, which had evidently
been racing the dogs by turns.
