DEVELOPING THE BODY.
Mlatukca Mud Through Uneven Care
of ttte I'ltyalcal yelcut.
In nil I'tTorts tu sirouirtlicn the Ken
cm I ny hi fin to produce n "utrotix con
stitution," na the Buying Koea-thu fact
must bu borne In mind thnt Hie body ta
no stronger tlmn Ita weakest part. Aa
nn I'lifiiiy would attnek n broken pile
In a fortUled town, no will tho genua
of illumine nttnek the fcvblent outposts
of the ayatiiii.
Thla mistake of uneven rare of the
IkiiIj- la iuio often mndo by well-moan-lug
people with regnrd to the akin. Per
liiipi there la no otic thlug ao often to
blame for bronchitis, for Instance, na
an orcri'oddlctl, miventllnted akin. The
iiuiomit of work tho akin will do la
largely n mutter of prnetlce. In mil
iiuiU nml naviiges the skin reacts iiulck
ly to changes of temperature, nnd one
tpiuon why countrymen nro more ro
bum tlmn townsmen la that tho conn
tr.vinnn'a skin la exercised from mrly
youth, In hardened graluallf and nat
urally, and iicciIh no nrtlt)clal methods.
The town man, on the other hand, lhet
too much In the even temperature of
rooms, and la always mure or lcsa pro
tected liy built-up streeta, and so Ills
skin la never called upon to do Ita shuro
of work lu regulatttiK tho heat uf tho
body.
Fur these reasons tho akin from tho
earliest years should not be too anx
iously protected. It should be accus
tomed to the ahocls of cold wnter, un
less there happen to bo reasons forbid
ding Mils, and the clothing should be
porous and not too much In quantity.
.Most adults use far too much bcddlns,
and most babies aro kept entirely too
warm, na pliyslclnns wcjl know. It Is
needless to ndd that the old-fashioned
feather boil Is nn abomination for eith
er young or old.
A most Important part of the cold
water treatment Is the sttbseiiuctit rub
blag. Tim cold water produces a pow
erful contraction of the aklu vessels,
nnd when afterward the akin Is well
rubbed nnd tho body exercised, these
vessels dilate; they breathe, and n feol
Ing of warmth and well-being follows.
Ml this keeps the aklu tip to Its normal
duties, and It then reacts quickly to the
change lo which It Is exposed.
One word more: small children nro
usually bathed In water much too hot.
A bath thermometer should be an In
variable adjunct of Ilio nursery, and
Ilio teniperuturo should not bo tested
by tho mother's or nurse's elbow, ns
Is often Ilio (use. Tho water should
never be above 05 degrees, nnd nfter
the llrat mouths should bo reduced
gradually to DO degrees nnd lower.

painted from life for David C. Claypool
of l'hiludelphin, editor of the Daily Ad

ton to publish his farewell address. In
this picture Washington is represented
in the uniform of conininnder-ln-clilef.
The form Is well drawn, the face serene
and dignified, the costume truly rendered.
At the den Ih of Mr. Claypool It was
purchased, with the original manuscript
of the address (which Mr. Claypool by
Washington's permission hud retained),
by J nines I.enov. and Is in the collec

It were a South American Stnte seems
Incredible, Yet that is what Congress

A SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Unaucceasfut Attempt to Dlacover
Competitor' Secret.
A group of young men all active In
the world of business, wero telling
bard stories at the Manufacturers'
club one evening recently. An elec
trical engineer, still In his early 30's,
whose salary Is represented by Ave
figures, told tho following:
"I've been up against It more than
ouce, but an adventure I had In New
York In '0d, like Aaron's serpent, swal
lows all the rest. At the time I was
manager and stockholder to a limited
extent In llaltlmore. We wero oper
ating under a patent, and things were
Just bcglnulng to come our way when
we got word from our salesmen that
goods similar to ours were being
placed upon the market at a flfure
which we could not meet.
"I got samples of the goods and the
figures from three different sources,
and at once called a meeting of the
directors. Our patent was worthless
as a matter of protection, and our
only source was secrecy; and, so far
as wo were able to do lr, our process
was kept from prying eyes. Hut there
was some one who was beating us at
our own game, if wo could find out
how It Vns done wo could do It our
selves; If we could'ut, It meant ruin.
"The next day disguised as a work
mnu, I weut over to New York and
found the factory without any trouble,
but try as I would I couldn't get
employment. The foreman said ho
hadn't work enough to keep his men
going and would have to discharge
borne of them. I waa desperate. It
was a bitter winter day, and a foot
aud a half of snow lay on tho ground.
As a last resort, I asked lilm it be
would let me shovel the snow from tho
sidewalk nnd give me a squaro meal
In payment This appeal reached his
heart, and I got the Job. It was no
Joke, I can tell you, for tho factory
wan n big one and the sidewalk long.
Hut 1 was glad to get the chance, for
It meant that I was to have a show to
get Inside the works, and I only need
ed a few hours at most to find out how
the trick was done. It took me four
hours to get the sidewalk cleared, and
my back was nearly broken when I
went into the ofllce again. The fore
man looked up from his desk as I
cam t' In aud said; 'i
" 'Got It done so quick?'
"'Yes,' said I,
" 'Let's go out and look at IL'
''And we went out He looked the
sidewalk over ntsd said 'It's a good
Job. I didn't think you could do IL

PROMINENT TRAIT OF RACE.
Nearo'a Love of Mualc Manifest In HI
Dnllr Arocntlona,
"Marvel as you will at the negro's
penchant for mimic, It stands out as th
most pronounced trait of tho race,"
said Iteprescntiitlvo Williams of Miss
issippi. "They love harmony of sound.
It Is Innate with them. They excel In
music, although It Is not developed In
In Its higher phases, because they draw
from the most ordinary surrounding.
A negro woodchopicr, a roust-about, a
rallspllttcr, will Inject the Idea of
music, the linrmony of sound, Into his
work. Hhow me a bookkeeper or bank
cashier who ever Juggles figures In a
manner to make them suggest music
and I'll show you a model of Gabriel's
horn.
'The conclusion Is forced that the
cold, Intensely practical affairs of th
up-to-date business man exclude all
sentimental feelings. The banker goe
to the opera when be desires music.
The broker hears only the monotonous
ticking of the telegraph Instrument.
The bank clerk Is abjured to work si
lently. If he whistles or sings In the
counting-room he Is corrected If not
dismissed.
"Note the difference. Th negro
splitting rails In tho woods mingle bta
voice In a well-blended manner with,
the noise made by the maul. Th
swing of his voice matches the swing
of the maul, and falls with greatest
force Just when the wedge la struck.
The steamboat roustcr hauls In a 11ns
with a sort of rythm that suggests
music, chanting the while. So It Is
with these fellows. Watch them tamp
ing the asphalt with those heavy Irons.
Observe the precision of their move
ments. Catch the sounds as the beary
weights fail. If the ear Is property
attuned you will hear tho music of tha
sound and also the rythm of the move
ments. Out of this simple manual la
bor those negroes get as much mualc
as an ordinary drum corps would pro
duce. A few days ago 1 Lad my shoes pol
ished In Natchez. I was surprised to
catch the strains of 'ThcreH De a Hot
Time In the Old Town To-night' from
the swish of the cloth the negro was
using, and I discovered that he could
faintly produce several other simple
airs. In a barber-shop a negro boy
used a whisk broom on my clothes, and
the first thing I knew he was fairly
sweeping music oft my shoulders.
Watch for such demonstrations If you
do not believe the corectness of th
Instances I have given. You will soon
be convinced."

A Chinese Auction.
The celestial always seems td do
things differently from other nations
aud tncii. Perhaps nowhere Is this
moro apparent than at an auction sale
In China. To a stranger It Is a moat
curious spectacle. It la a quiet, solemn
proceeding, perfect silence being pre
served the whole time. Jn this partic
ular It Is unlike the noise and confusion
that usually reigns on llko occasions In
this part of the world. The auctioneer
leans over a slightly elevated counter
and exhibits his wares. He says noth
ing, neither does the bidder, who mere
ly steps forward to the auctioneer and
runs his fingers up his sleeve, making
pressures on the salesman's arm, Indi
cating In this manner how much he la
willing to pay for tho article. Then
another and another repeat tho action
until the one signifying the highest
price receives tho article without a
word being exchanged on cither side.
Only tho auctioneer and tho successful
bidder know the prlco offered and ac
cepted. The opportunity for favorit
ism In this method Is apparent, and
doubtless is often shown.
