"The story that a man fell OO feat :b« other day and didnt hart himself fa aKSsiug," said the di iwtor of a gymnasium; "but, cut ting all foolishness out, there waa am thaa a grain of truth la it. ' What I mean fa that a man who knows how to fall can fall a con siderable disUaee without getting aaythiag more than a bruise or "**¥ '"»>!■ h U»t «'«re faUingwily. one of the first I thing* that a gymnast or one who performs anywhere above the ground mast faara is just bow to avoid aeri aw injury ia falls. "Xearly every gymnart tumbles aaeairr or later; but, if you will thiak it over, the number of profee aionsl and amateur performer* hurt in a year is comparatively small. 11a raaa ran for tnat fa that they have laaraed aot only how to avoid falling, hat how to protect them aahnes whan the fall doea eome. "Just as an exam pis, I had a fall from a height of about twentv feet the other day, and I got right np from the floor practically unhurt, although I confess that it shook aw up a good deal more than 1 liked In falling, however, I re faxed my muscles and, as the ath letes say, folded* my head into my chert I struck on the uppermost part of my back, jurt below the aeck. When anybody is falling, that fa the part of th* body on which to toIL "I am not a particularly heavy ataa, but I am fairly well protected smy muscles. Those on the back my neck were a sufficient cushion. With that to help me the fall was aot ao terrifying. "Vow, the reason why the ordi nary man fa ao easily hurt in a fall fa tiiat be thinka be must 'steel' him self to the ordeal, as it were, lie coaies down, sprawling out, with his arms and legs rigid. Nine times oat of ten he either breaks a limb or severely sprains a muscle. That is the wrong way to full. "If yon want "to see the right way take * few lessons from your cat. If she is a {pod, healthy cat, with a good training, she never jumps or foils aa if she waa trying to braak me auin all of thia up by say fog that, to be a really good athlete, on* must know how to relax his muscles aa well as distend them. TWi fall and see if I'm not right." —Chicago Inter Ocean. Value «f English Votes. According to an Englbh election agpnt's statement, there are soma wen occupying positions of very lit tle consequence whose votes are nev ertheleaa of enormous value to any nolitieal party. In the big manu foctaring towaa there are always eome fecal characters who go in wy hotly for the pursuit of poli ttea and have considerable influence over the political opiniona of their friends. The votes of such men are worth working hard for, because their support means the votes of qaite a large following. In on# town ia the north of England there fa a bricklayer whoae support fa stat ed to be worth at least a hundred votes ta hia party.—London Tetler. The quickneae and felicity of Hon. William M Erarta in the line ef repartee are pteaaantly illuatrat ed by President Timothy Dwight hi a story from "Mamorfas of Tale lifo and Man." - ... .. .

Tho old rule that whatever jfx* up must come dovn ia in the |fcao' of pro nounced aeaaicknaaa reverted. What ever goo down must coma up. But when wo come to reckon with horses and oowa we find a different condi tion to deal with. and oowa never vomit. They cannot. So here right at the beginningvof the mat ter we find a. reason rar difference in the way this pecu&ur sickness ■hows itself in man andlieast. "I have had more experience with hones than with aAv of her kind of dumb animal ana ionscqucntly know more al»out tho w(ky the horso suffers daring seasick* we. It in a rather curious and ratker interest ing fact that the horse in more vio lently attacked in the feet than in any other portion of the body. 1 have seen the feet of lorsos at leu swell until they could at arcoly stand on them. Of course, the stomach of the animal ia affected to some extent, but this ia notjso serious a matter as tho attack Jn the feet. The effect of these attacks is some times of a lasting kirjd, and tho usefulness of horses is seriously im paired. "The fact that scaaioknrsa attacks the horso in the feet ia mainly duo to the peculiar influence a vessel's motion has on the kidneys of tho animal. At any rate, this is tho generally accepted view of tho mut ter. We cannot say 4eiiuitoly just why horses get knotty feM at sen, but the jaopu&r view of horseman who have studied the matter is as stated. As to cows, Ido not know (i great deal about them, but I un derstand tho chief troublo with them at sea is that they lose their taste for food and quit eating."— New Orleans Times- Democrat. Japanese Gardens. Very many Japanese houses lmvo beautiful gardens. The Japanese excel in gardening, and oven in To kyo, where space is very valuable, they contrive to havo some pictur esque adjunct. Over a bamboo trol lis. for instance, will hang tho mar velously picturesque Japanese gourd, which forms a favorite subject for the decoration of metal work, es pecially the antimony metal work thinly silvered over with which tho Japanese flood the western mnrket. These gourds, with a pinch in tho middle like a lady's waist, when dried and hollowed out are fitted with stoppers for pilgrims' water bottles and are very frequently ex ported. If he can do nothing moro «very Japanese who can afford it will have his row of earthenware jars containing dwarfed blossoming fruit trees or tiny Japanese firs, which are made to grow smaller as they grow older. Qoed Advice. A venerable professor of a noted medical college waa addressing the graduating class. "Gentlemen," he said, "vou aro going out into the world «f action.

An aeronaut at A county fair hsl made rather an unlucky ascension.

"Deliver mo from staging a show' with two women stars in the cast," said one of the veteran Broadway stage managers. "They will give you more trouble than a barrel of monkeys or a regiment of blond chorus girls." ' ;/■J "Jealousy, I suppose, bccauso their parts cannot be exactly alike," observed the ordinary citisen who! wns lucky in the friendship of the r fif % ] i, ; t, » .t .i *» 18 JOftitJNßy Ml it*ni, fliiitl tne manager, "but not over their parts: They have fought that all out with the author during rehearsals. When they get into my deportment the trouble is all over dressing rooms." "One would think that any com fortable room would lie good enough to dress in," remarked the citixcn, betraying his ignorance. "You'a think a lot of tilings," growled the manager, "but unless the dressing room.: are as like as two peas I'd like you to convince twin stars that they were receiving proper treatment. Even if the room* are alike the women are not satisfied. They want the wall pa per and tho wardrobe curtains cliangcd to match their complex ions. "The average tlicater is usually shy on dressing rooms. It may be thoroughly up to date and perfectly .appointed in every way until you get buck of tho stage or under the main floor, wliero are tho quarters of the peoplo. I've nover seen the time that I could not use a dozen moro rooms than 1 had at my com mand. tlenerully tliere is one room that is very much superior in loca tion and furnishings to tho others. It is iutcmled for the leading wom an, and in tho old days when there wns only ono leading womnn there, wus little troublo about this prue room. "In this act of the life play, bow over, there are likely to IHJ several leading women. The woman who plays the name part insists (bat she >* the star. Tho popular sing«-r who is being featured in tho piece and who draws SOO or SIOO a week more thun tho woman of tho name pari insists that she is the star. If Un loading man has a wife in the cast, slio surely deserves tho best dress ing room. And there you art — tlireo women and one decent room. "It is iust like shaking a red flag at a bull, this business of dculiug out dressing rooms. Sometimes it all but breaks up a show, and many lifelong fouds between actresses are the mult."—New York Tribune. ■ve*s Apple Tree. A fruit supposed to bear the mark of Eve's teeth is one of the many botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The tree on which it grows is known by tho significant name of "the forbid den fruit" or "Eve's apple tree." The blossom has a very pleasant scent, but the really remarkable fea ture of the tree, the one to which it owes its name, is the fruit. It is beautiful and hangs from the tree in a peculiar manner. Orange on the outsido and doep crimson with n, each fruit has the appearance of having had a piece bitten ont of it. This fact, together with its poison ous quality, says the Liverpool Post, lod tho Mohammedans to represent it as the forbidden fruit of the gar den of Eden and to warn men against its noxious properties. Time te Prmy. A preacher at the conclusion of QUA of his sermons said, "Let nil in the house who are paying their debts stand up." Instantly every man, woman and child, with one ex ception, rose to their feet. The preacher seated them and said, J 'Now ovcry man not paying his debts stand up." Tho exception noted, a cprpwow, hungry looking individual, slowly assumed a per pendicular position. "How is it, mv friend,' asked tho minister, "tnat vou are the only man not to meet Ills obligations/'" "I S-un a newspaper," he meekly answered, "and tne brethren here who just stood up tmhseribeas, and"— ttLet IW pray," exclaimed the min lster.—Joffljn News-Herald.

Tlie king was so delighted with the diversion that ho promised to grant any request th« {uventer might make.
