An Important lesson learned under the
torrid sun and drenching rains ot Cuba , In
the disease-breeding trenches In front of
Santlaqo , and during the long , muscle-tiring
ilnoh up San Juan bill , li that it Is not
enough for the private soldier to have
courage to face death fearlessly. With It
must bo vitality to resist dUeanc , endurance
to withstand hardship and vigor to over
come every material obstacle.
Wllflam Dlalkle , author ot "How to Get
Strong , and How to Stay So , " a work that
has been accepted as a leading authority on
physical culture for the last twenty years ,
when speaking of the value of athletic train
ing OB a preparation for a military career ,
has this to eay :
"Cacear'o soldiers are said to have
marched thirty and forty ml lea a day , more
heavily laden than the boldlors of these
times , and then , often , had to spend hours
digging trenches before they slept. What
American regiment can do the name today !
They fought with short swords , but they
'added a step when necessary , ' as Verclnge-
torix ArlovletUH and other Gallls and Swiss
gentlemen could testify. They mowed dowr
enormous armies ot men often quite as
bravo as they , but not as strong , or en
during , or as skilled at their work , or as
well led as wcro the Haitians.
"Alexander's little band of 33,000 mer
conquered the world , or at any rat <
Europe , or so much of western Europe as wai
then known. Twcnty-fivo hundred yean
later Ho and 33,000 other small but un
commonly well put together men and skillet
fighters went through several hundred mil
lions of Asiatics with cquaJ rase. Lool
up the men In each Instance aud you havi
the men with the trained body defeating th
untrained. Look Into the training of thes
men and you will find the same Inevitable
long , hard seasoning of the body , and ulmos
as surely you will find it the result ot ;
broad , national system of bodily education
i Only the other day two oarsmen were tralne
with exceptional care by the uncle ot on
of them ho the greatest sculler , with per
haps ono exception , of modern times. Ye
In Halifax harbor , 20,000 people looking or
two filmplo fishermen In a six-mile rac
rowed them to a standstill ; not as sklllfu
oarsmen , but as tougher men. We are

have no training to make us anything else.

When asked what system of athletics h
would recommend to a boy who aspired I
bo a soldier 'Mr. ' Blalkle replied : "If ever
boy In every school In America ran at leai
one mile a day without stopping at an
pace he liked but every secular day nnd I
all weathers , do you think it would dlstui
him much , so far as the muscular cxcrtlo
went , after ten years of such work , to 1m
run up San Juan hill ? That training woul
glvo him superb legs , superb , tireless leg
easily equal to every call hewould over gh
them. But It would have thought hi
something even more valuable than legs.

The brain is fed with that same liloi
Which brain will do better work the 1
fed brain or the well-fed one ?
"I tave tried to show In my book , " co
tlnucd Mr. Blalkle , "that the greatest m
the world has seen , In a large majority
Instances , had exceptional bodily vigor , a
that they would likely not have done 1
wrcat work they have without that vigor , :
they could not have stood the pace. If j

Mr. Dlalklo said that he would have ev
boldlcr and sailor a skillful , enduring bo
and swordsman. They should prepare
those two arts as assiduously as Germany

today ?
" 1'robibly the beet exercise known to make
a man strong all over Is wrestling. No
weak-lunged man couM long atay at this
arduous work. No wcak-walstcd man ever
was a good wrestler. Powerful sldco , a
sturdy neck , long arms and logs , good back
and good front he must have , or he la no
great wrestler. Is every man in West Point
a wrestler , or In Annapolis ? If not , he has
something , and a valuable and helpful some
thing , yet to learn. Hut there Is a thing bet
ter than wrestling , oven , to glvo one unusual -
usual strength of back , and that Is rowing.
Why should not the picked fighters and lead
ers of the coming fighters of our land bo
strong an over strong , enduring runners ,
boxers , swordsmen , wrestlers , oarsmen ?
"When Bismarck went first to the prepar
atory school and the elder boys stood by to
guy him , because they thought ho would
not dare to swim In as deep water as they ,
with a sudden plunge he dove and swam as
well as the best of them. In a minute ho
thus established himself on a footing of
equality , If not superiority , that helped him
there always afterward. Who will say that
It harmed him anywhere else , or was not , on
the other hand , a potent factor many a time
in his great life work , when he strode past
his fellows ?
"A few minutes every day , " said Mr.
Blalklo in conclusion , "devoted to each one
of these exercises , scarcely on hour In all ,
would develop a youth superbly In the two
or three years just before becoming a mili
tary or naval cadet. Yet which of them
\\ould cost him a dollar ? And has he not the
tools now ready at hand , save , of course , the
trilling outlay for his fencing weapon or his
.rowing. The truth la , physically we are ar
uneducated race. The percentage of athletic
youth and men is larger than it has beer
. during 'this ' century. But It Is still a varj
small percentage , nearer 5 than 10. Anc
who Is doing anything worth while to mak <
the other 90 odd per cent strong , athletic
enduring men ? "

As nlmplo and pastoral as the romance o
Ruth and Boaz In the barley fields of th
land of Bethlehem In the days when th
world was so young Is the romance of Mar ;
and Isaac In the hop fields ot Sonom
county , Cal. , In this , the l.SOSth year ot ou
Lord.
In the harvesting of the barley of Beth
lehem Ruth and Bo z mot and married.
In the harvesting of the hops of the Bant
Rosa laguna , relates the San Francisco Ex
amlncr , Mary nnd Isaac met and marrleO
and with their marrying made a hollda

pickers and for the good people of Sonom
county for miles around.
Mary , whose other name Is Shields , an
who , like Ruth , was a widow , and , Ilk
, ' Ruth , had journeyed from afar , came to th
I Lcggett ranch , on the Santa Rosa lagun ;
, near by the town of Santa Rosa , at the be
j ginning ot the hop picking season a fe
, weeks ago to work at the harvesting of th
i , fragrant blossoms.
j | Likewise to the Lcggett ranch , on th
j Santa Rosa laguna , came Isaac , whose othe
name Is Dorscn , and he was on the san
j mission bent to pick hops and put mone
j In his pocket. Until they met among tl
| hop vines Mary had never heard of Isas
. Dorsen and Isaac had never set eyea c
"Mary " Shields , although and to Mary an

was noticed that Isaac pulled down tl
vines for Mary ; that Isaac lent his stror
arm when burdens were heavy , and it wi
r. noticed that Mary spread lunch for two !
i. ' the shade ot the untouched hop vines i
d the noonday resting time. Where Mai
o found the vines heaviest laden there
I- ' seemed for Isaac a good spot for hop plcl

ih I The men chaffed Isaac about the wide
id and the women nudged Mary and llfti
.jj their eyebrows knowingly when Isaac w ;
1(1 seen or mentioned , and as Isaac and Ma
, made no denial and looked a sheepish
aj happy admission the news went round t !
,0 hop fields that Isaac and Mary wcro thin !
; , , ing about getting married. And so it w
that the flrst wedding in a hop field w
e
. ' celebrated on the Santa Rosa laguna.
It Is the custom of the hop pickers <
1-
each ranch to celebrate the end of the ha
vest with a festival and as there is gre
' " rivalry among the pickers on the d I He re
ranches about these festivals , each ran
" * ; strives to have at least one feature on !
program of merrymaking that will out
10 the other festivals.
The pickers on the Leggett ranch , havi
the material for It temptingly at hand , 1
10 upon the plan of outdoing the nelghbc
by having a real wedding as the featu
of their festival and Isaac and Mary ngrci
after the proper amount of persuasion ,
clinch their hop field romance with a h
field wedding.
ol There need to fli
was no go out of the
to find some one to tie the knot , for a m

was ono of the hop pickers.
N ? So on last Sunday morning , when the hi

ly the annals of California was celebrat
The wedding guests came from far and ne
afoot , on horseback and bicycle , and In i
ot crythlng on wheels that the county a ft or

A big farm wagon , all garlanded w
golden hops , was drawn up under a sprei

five chairs for the wedding party ; the t
'or ' for the brldo and groom were under a gr
marriage bell ot hops.

la. and from an arbor close by came the br

WHAT RECENT DISCOVERIES DENOTE

Among the recent finds discovered at Tel-
Amarna none Is so full of human Interest
as the pictures of domestic Interiors dis
covered on the walls of Its tombs. Hero , ( or
Instance , IB the homo of a priest , 'Ey , whose
wife bore the name of Toy. By simply look
ing at the picture the whole mcnango Is
mads plain. The lower room ( to the right )
contains the bed on which 'Ey and Tey re
pose , spread over 'by a canopy. Beneath It
are three little beds for the children.
In the room above a table , chairs and
footstools are seen. On the table are wine
jars and just below the < washstand , with
bowls and pitchers for guests to refresh
themselves 'before dining. Egyptian artiste
know llttlo of perspective , or these stands
would appear by the side of the chairs.
A door .from the dining room leads to the
court , off which Is the kitchen , filled will
freshly baked loaves and cakes , ono ol
which the cook has just taken out of the
oven. Below It can be seen assistant cooks
kneading the dough , and lower down twc
servants ( marked .by the aprons worn ) en
gaged In animated conversation. This It
probably the 'housekeeper scolding a lazj
maid. To the left of thcso Is anothei
servant sweeping the floor , and at the sami
time talking to the doorkeeper of the harctn
as Is Indicated iby his lack of skirts.
Next comes the harem , or , as it seems
two bouses in which the concubines one
their children are cared for 'by ' the prlcstl ;
'Ey. The women of the harem are bus ;
playing the harp and conversing , theli
station being shown toy the transparen
skirts , the Egyptian artist's methods of sug <
gestlng flno linen. 'In the lower room twi
of the concubines are engaged In ai
animated conversation , possibly dlscusslni
the latest styles of coiffure or ncwes
fashions la rings , while a third plays upoi
a harp.
Above them , to the left , a servant has jus
returned ( her apron Is off ) from an errand
probably having 'been out to buy saffron a
the nearest shop. She Is evidently glvlni
an account of her doings to her mistress , and
to judge from her attitude , she Is saying
"I hurried as fast as I could , .but the ma :
was eo busy it mas Impossible to get bad
sooner. " Forgetting how long she stoo
talking to that soldier on the corner.
In the room overhead an attendant 1
cither warming himself , or , more probablj
heating the curling Irons for the halrdreseei
who Is so busy In the other room , arrangln
the head-dress of madam.
This is but a glimpse of the dally life c
at least 4,000 years ago , yet how familiar I
all looks. Servants required reprimand :
women gossiped and prinked , men ati
rank and amused themselves precisely a

part of the month the fcnco will have bee
irectod about the twenty-four graves of tl

rom all directions. They came In esma
amounts , but It was from the contrlbutloi
of the masses It was wished to erect tl
'enco. The subscription has now closed at
Major Dutts has on hand over $2,000 , amp
money having1 bcno secured to carry out a

Through the generosity of the southei
railway and the hearty co-operation of coi

nothing DOW to interfere with the work
any particular , and ere Thanksgiving

' ! : It was at first thought best to erect
second fence about the graves of the fo
Winslow Bailers , who are burled some dl
tance from the Maine plot , but , with t
consent of Lieutenant Bernadou , command
of the llttlo vessel , It has been decided

THE POOH IIELUUED MAN.

e The lard of creation was sitting with semen
e men friends before a grata fire one c
lal evening last week and was exchanging w
p. I them opinions on persons and things. 1
I conversation drifted around to a discuss
1th of married life and the host ha.1 too flc
Ids "Unaccountable , isn't it ? " said be , "I

sorts of things In the way of regulating

0 fell In love with Polly she was what
injj U now In rare moments mild and pr <
Iny and amiably appreciative of my Intellect
: ow did not even ask myself whether she
of clever or not. I didn't care. We got al
Ux * splendidly , like the pious boy and bis I
brotner , < ne flrs' ot whom said the pra ]
bo and the last the 'Amens. ' I did the talk
| and Polly tfiged me on with raising of c
brows , smiles and sympathetic 'OhV or
'Ahs. ' Well , wo .married. I have learned
that Polly .friends were under the Impression
that she had captured a mental giant and
was feeding him with the sugar plums ot
fiction. She gave people to understand that
I labored under the delusion that she was a
very brilliant person like myself and that
only her craftiness kept mo from finding out
how shallow and silly she was. Was ever amore
moro absurd Idea evolved from the brain of
a silly girl. Polly clovcrl If she only knew
that her mild eyes , with the absolute
Ignorance of the world that lies In their
clear depths , are my stars of hope , that her
soft , faltering volco that gets shrill every
time she tries to talk learnedly was what I
love 'better ' than oratory and that her Ir
responsible way of discussing my pet
theories Is 'what flatters and gratifies mo
more than any amount of sane praise from a
really clever woman well , If she realized all
that I wonder If she would still bcllevo that
she has 'managed , ' 'played with' or 'de
luded' mo ? "
Just then Polly came Into the room In
quest of a book and one of the guests
jokingly repeated the substance of what her
husband had said. There was a quizzical
look In her face as she saU :
"Did you say all that , Tom ? "
Her husband acknowledged the corn.
Polly laughed good-naturedly nnd said :
"You old goose , " and left the room. She
also left an uneasy suspicion on her hus
band's mind that after all perhaps she
"managed" him without his being aware ol
It. The same Idea occurred to more than
one of his guests , 'but of course there Is nc
way of finding out -whether such Is the case
or not.

Many persons are puzzled to notice thai
whllo In the summer they are comfortable ,
even whllo Bitting out of doors , In a tern ,
peraturo of 70 degrees or less , they fre
quently find the saino temperature Insuin.
clent Indoors in winter notwithstanding thoj
nro then much moro warmly dressed , sayi
the Youth's Companion ,
The fact Is that the moisture or dryness
of the air greatly affects the sensible tern ,
porature the temperature , that is , as 1
seems to he. In tbo deserts of Arabia
where the air is at once extremely hot am
extremely dry , the winds are often unpleas. .
antly cold.
Hot , dry air has the quality of absorbenc ;
In a very high degree. The heated , arh
winds from the Sahara are said to nbsorl
the waters ot the Mediterranean Hko
sponge and at the same time the rapid evap
oration cools the surface of the water.
The air from furnaces and stcamplpes
if unduly dry , absorbs moisture from what
ever surface It touches. By virtue of Its
absorbency the surface of the body nnd li
greater degree the membrane lining th
nose , throat and bronchial tubes , suffer froti
the rapid evaporation of moisture and los
heat In tbo process.
Experiments by different observers hav <
demonstrated a marked difference betwcei
the -actual and sensible temperature-
of rooms heated by furnaces and steam
pipes without the addition of moisture ar
tlflclally Introduced. Frequently a dlf
fercnce of at least 20 degrees has been no
tlccd. A hygrometer , moistened to th
same degree as the average human Bklr
has repeatedly shown ii .temperature man
degrees below the actual air temperature
both in public buildings and in privat
houses.
In winter the warmth of the kitchen 1
often moro grateful than that of other room
in which { ho temperature Is as high , hi
In which there Is no' steaming teakettle t
moisten the air. in.
There Is no question regarding the bane
ful Influence of hot , dry1 air In the prodw
tlon of catarrhal conditions of the nosi
throat nnd bronchial tubes. It has bee
suggested that diphtheria owes In part 11
common occurrence to the present Imperfw
methods of heating echoolhouses. The drj
ness of the air produces a condition ot tl
throat upon which the disease Is easily e :
grafted.
An easy method of furnishing molstui
consists I nthe conduction of a thin streai
of steam into the heated air. This me
be done by exposing wide vessels filled wll
water In the air boxes ot furnaces , or I

THE SNEEZIXC SEASON.

A cold , as nearly every Intelligent pcrst
knows , Is the result of a stoppage somewhe :
of free circulation of blood , to which 01
Is first sensitive through a feeling ot cbl
So slight is the chill oftentimes that n
until the preliminary sneeze comes Is tl
victim aware ho or she has been In the trai
of a draught or that the temperature hi
changed.
The usual notion is that by going li
doors , changing to heavier clothing or r
treating from the moist atmosphere the da
gor is averted. These precautions are i
well enough , but the first and most efflc
cious measure should be to restore thequl <
How of warm blood through every vein ni
BO by heat Instantly counteract the lltl
chill.
One , perhaps the simplest , method of deli
this has been learned by men who stand i
: t sentinel duty , who are obliged to Buff
moro or lesa exposure In winter or w
Bcoru the comforts In cold weather ot eve
coat and umbrella.
Their method when the temperature of t
body or extremities is lowered or a sudd
chill or quick change from warm to cold i
mosphero Is endured Is to Inhale three
four deep breaths , expand the lungs to tin
fullest extent , holding every time the i
1C haled air as long as possible and then slow
letting It forth through the nostrils.
In doing this the Inflation of the lun
sets the heart Into such quick motion tt
ill the blood Is driven with unusual force nlo
Its channels and so runs out Into the Unit
e , veins.

on Close to a certain railroad station In N <
Jr. ark , N. J , , Is a factory which has for ye
iw been of a singular Interoit to many of
ml passengers because the windows on the Ic

t fifteen pretty girls at work at their bcncl
" The girls were Interesting objects to I
n at nnd no doubt the tralnn and passes
na wcro to the girls n relief from the le-V
to monotony of their work. Ilccently the m
all ager of the factory caused nil of the vtlndi
bo looking out upon the railroad to be obacu

. preaching brutality and was explained u
; ' ° the theory that the company had lost

I Ing community and railroad men. Tt
ras IE general complaint about the daubing
ng the windows and possibly the railroad
iry lost n few passengers blnce the beauty i
Sfg was thus sealed from public ? iw.

Esultlim E\UTl | 'iuu of Vn
on iiti Erlo Train.
A thankful tralnload of passengers
alighted from the Chicago express which ar
rived In Jersey City over the Krlo road at
7-30 o'clock October 23. While the train
v.na rushing along between Blngbamlon and
Susquohnnim nt a speed of almost a mlle a
mlnuto u lifeless hand gripped the throttle.
The distance ) between the two cities Is but
twenty-three miles , but the train , with the
hand of the dead engineer , Henry Kinsley ,
still grasping the throttle , innde It in twen
ty-six minutes. The fireman , Walter Cows-
gill , who was busy at the furnace , did not
know of the engineer's death until near
Susquclmnna , the engine being of the pat
tern In which the two cabs are separated.
Shortly after the train left Illnshamton.
15 miles west of New York City , the fire
man noticed that the train was apparently
mining wild. It was nearly 2 o'clock in
he morning and very dark. The hugo loco-
motlvo rocked from side to sldo as It sp'd
long with Increasing momentum. Although
ho fireman know that a quick run was to
10 mode ho marveled at the unusual speed ,
"aster nnd faster wont the locomotive aud
ho fireman grabbed the cab railing to keep
Is footing. Cowsglll became more nnd
nero alarmed. The train was nppronchlnc
lUsquehanna nnd yet showed no slocking of
ts wild career.
Now fully aroused to the fearful situation ,
ho II r em nn crawled carefully around to the
reman's sldo of the cab nguln. Ho called
cross the boiler to Kinsley , but xccclvetl
o response. Then Cowsglll resolved to BCC
ivhat the trouble w s. The only way to
each the engineer was around the outside
t the locomotive. Clinging to the hand
alls , he climbed out on the running board ,
.vent . around the head ot the engine and
cached the engineer's side , kicked open thu
window and entered the cab. He loosened
ho stilt fingers of the engineer from the
hrottlc , reversed the machinery nnd applied
ho air brakes , stopping the train before It
ad gene many yards past the Susquchanna
ilepot. Kinsley's body was removed and It
vas found that the entire upper part of his
kull had been carried away. It Is thought
Kinsley had his head out of the window nnd
ivas struck by a mall crane nt some country
tnllon. Ho lived at Susquchanna , Pa.
