of exercise lit Out Ing says The worst error of exercise tho most dangerous fad of physical cul ture is not to take enough of It and to sneer at every form of It that does not bear the dollar mark By one of those cynical poetic Justices of naturo the very men who denounce all phys ical culture and recreation as fads are those who pay the heaviest personal penalty for this delusion They use the vigor they have gained In early youtb In natures open air school to chain themselves to the desk to bury them selves In dungeon like ollices or airless workrooms twelve or fourteen hours a day They feel flne and are sure they are going to live to be u hundred but one day to their astonishment a little artery whose coat has been hardened for twenty years uunoticed becomes so brittle that It snaps suddenly nnd down they go with a stroke of paraly sis like a winged duck It Is never safe to jeer at the gods whether the Imaginary ones of Olympus or the real ones of modern science The men who jeer loudest at phys leal culture and who sarcastically ad vise college and high school students ambitious for gymnasia or athletic fields to go and git a bucksaw aud a cord of wood or a hoe nnd a potato patch and develop their muscles like I did when I was a boy are the very ones who die suddenly when they should be In their prime for lack of exercise and open air recreation It Is really an astonishing thing how many giants of industry and transportation particularly executive railroad men die or suddenly go to pieces between fifty and sixty years of age It is a common saying in railroad

TRICKS OF SMART WOMEN Use Their Position to Get a Look at the Advance Models and Then Sell Their Information In Berlin One Case Where There Was a Slip The object of the modern millinery pirate Is by some means to get hold of the new fashions well in advance of the coming season and however jealously guarded the new models are she most pirates are women very often succeeds and the real owner has the mortification of seeing his noveltj anticipated by some tirm of infinitely less importance than his own East spring the proprietor of one of the smartest shops in the west end of London noticed a lady walking In the park attired in a dress almost an ex act copy of a brand new model of his own a model which not half a dozen people had seen besides its inventor and himself The design bad been reg istered but the copy was just suffi ciently altered to steer clear of legal difficulties A most searching Inquiry revealed tho fact that the culprit was a lady who had always been considered one of the firms smartest and best custom ers Her blrtb and position were less Im peachable thau the state of her finances and she had accepted the offer of a Berlin Arm to dress her on condition that she supplied it with the very latest creations that found their way from Paris to London Having the entrep of the Innermost partment chief will seldom live beyond sanctum of the London firm referred forty eight to fifty five years of age Many break down before that JAPANESE STREETS They Swarm With Sideshows and Playing Children A Japanese street is a delightful place to play in for grownup people In Japan do not seem to mind if the tail of a kite flaps right into their to she had taken advantage of its con fidence in her to draw Its designs from memory and post them to Berlin The London firm had no legal rem edy whatever All it could do was when the autumn styles were due and the lady called again to inform her that her patronage was no longer de sired Another lady detected In a similar trick by the manager of a Regent street firm was very cleverly punished smiling faces and only laugh when rjpou her uext visit she was received they are turned out of their way byj witb the same cordiality as ever and some huge pegtop which hums like taken into the showroom where the an angry bee around their feet Wee dark eyed maidens in butterfly kimonos of brilliant coloring turn their skipping ropes gayiy the tiny black heads of the babies they carry strap ped to their backs bobbing up and down like small round balls Their brothers plays at flags which Is a favorite game of theirs They divide them selves into two parties one carrying white flags and the other red ones At a given signal the reds attack the whites striving to wrest away their flags and the side which carries off most of these is proclaimed victor Wonderful conjurers are to be found at the street corners They make swarms of birds fly from crystal bowls and flowers spring as if by magic from slender stems of bamboo Others show marvelous beetles har nessed with wax to paper carts or command the snakes that accompany them everywhere to perform extraor dinary tricks A little farther on you will find an old woman who is making a curious sweetmeat of beans called torfu over an oval brazier and you can buy a big slab of this wrapped up in a cool leaf for a very small sum or if you prefer it a piping hot griddlecake costing no more Acrobats too are as common as conjurers and surely in no other land thau this quaint little Japan do they twist themselves into such strange shapes Home Chat latest models were usually displayed She never suspected until too late that the room had been specially ar ranged for her reception The models exhibited were anything but new and the too smart firm which employed her was put to vast expense to work up dresses from patterns resurrected from those of years before which proved absolutely unsalable It is by no means exclusively for the purpose of stealing other peoples orig inal designs that pushing firm- en list the services of well dresbL J re cruits Last summer a lady arrived at a smart seaside hotel the sort of plice where people stay for the whole sea son She was pretty smart and per fectly turned out so well dressed in fact that other women filled with envy did their best to find out who was her dressmaker But though she frequently boasted that the people were perfect treasures and that her bills amounted to next to nothing she steadfastly refused to dis close the name One day however she accidentally dropped an envelope inclosing a bill from the mysterious dressmaker a bill artfully faked so as to show prices of startling cheapness Within a week the firm that employed this clever lady welcomed a dozen new customers Hotels too find the lady tout most useful Last autumn a very pretty girl arrived at a certain Scotch health resort establishment with her mother She was smart well dressed a clever musician just the sort of girl to be thoroughly popular with both sexes At once she became the center of a large coterie of admirers Then after a few days her vivacious expression gave place to u look of un utterable boredom I cant stand this place Its so deadly dull she said over and over again Finally one evening she announced that she could not endure it an hour longer She was goint Where was the question Back to Blitherington was the de cided answer It may be a little dearer but you get your moneys worth there One has such a good time there Next day she left and before the week was out a large proportion of her friends had followed her London Urand Magazine A Fine Mixup What do you mean by this sir de manded the angry advertiser Whats the matter inquired the publisher of the paper This advertisement of

looking always on the bright and glit tering side of things when the dingy dark brown side is uppermost and seems destined to remain uppermost Its a great thing to cultivate n disposition to make the most of things in this life remarked a man who used to drive trotting horses for a living The most striking illustration I ever had of that was lu a big horse race at a county fair down the state about ten years ago The man driving along side of me let his horse swerve on the back stretch and my sulky was upset That caused a general mixup and a colored driver right behind me got un loaded and his sulky broken to pieces Well I lay there for a minute and then as 1 didnt seem to be much hurt I started to get up Hey boss don yo go gittln up yelled the colored driver at me excit edly Why I asked him some puzzled Cause he answered jo all lay right wha yo Is and In a minute theyll sen roun hyah and haul us back pas the gran stau iu a caih hiage Sure enough they did and when we drove up that home stretch iu the open back they sent for us that col ored man was the happiest person I ever saw Now thats what 1 call making tho most of things Cleve land Plain Dealer COURTSHIP IN PORTUGAL Tho Way the Young People Begin Their Lovemaking The most Important event In the life of a Portuguese woman Is marriage Next In Importance are the early days of courtship for a Portuguese court ship Is the essence of romance and the ways of the Portuguese lover are singularly picturesque Here Is a lit tle drama In which Cupid Is stage di rector If a young Portuguese sees in the street a pretty girl witb whom ho would like to become acquainted he follows her Chaperons are not im possible obstructions He follows her right up to her very door and notes the address Next day he comes again and If the young lady approves of him for she certainly saw him the day before she is on the lookout Sometimes hard fate in the guise of an angry parent prevents her and then the gallant youth is kept waiting Sooner or later she leans over the bal cony and smiles at him The happy youtb ties a note to a cord which the fair lady drops from the balcony The next day the young man comes again This time he rings at the door If the inquiries which the young ladys elders have made prove satisfactory the swain Is admitted to make the ac quaintance of the young lady After that courtship in Portugal is about the same as It is in Kankakee or Kala mazoo Leslies Weekly Not a Laughing Matter Cut off from family and home by a relentless tide fat Mr Bodger had been forced to clamber till he gained a pathway cut In the cliffs face It was a narrow path and Mr Bodger was no narrow man Getting more frightened every moment he proceed ed warily along the fast diminishing way till at last it faded suddenly into what

Tatler Old School Prejudice Doctor I met a medical practi tioner of a new kind the other day and I cant classify him He diagnoses all diseases by looking at the finger nails of his patients What would

it marked down Baltimore American Do farmers eat the proper sort of food The farmer of today buys a much larger proportion of the food that goes on the tabic than he did ten years ago Its a good thing that this is so because he has a great variety to select from lie should however use great care in selecting for the best results in health and strength The widespread tendency in the citv to increase the amount of Quaker Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations by scientific men that the Quaker Oats fed man is the man with greatest physical endurance and greatest mental vigor
