Grasp the dumb-bells tightly and swing the arms, with the sides, making a circle with the hands, swing forward first six times, then backward six times, with each arm. Sixteenth. Discard the dumb-bells, straighten up and elevate the hands, above the head; then drop the arm and bend the body until you can touch the floor with the knees still, straighten up and going down a little lower each time. The first time I tried this, I got my head down as far as my knees, but now I can go to the floor without much trouble. Take hold of the bed or chair and squat as low as you can; then straighten up and squat again six or eight times. This will strengthen the calves. It has enabled me to ride horseback and to mount the horse from the ground. These exercises Senator Tillman practices each morning before breakfast and at night before going to bed. A MAD DOG JUMPED INTO RIVER SUNDAY IMPROVEMENTS AT GLEN MILLER PARK tauqua fund. A motion authorizing Hollarn to put up the new greenhouse as soon as the weather permits was also passed. It was decided that ni . more deer will be purchased for th. Glen this year. Only one is now leftA small pet dog belonging to Arthur McGrew, of South Twelfth street, went mad Sunday morning while its master was exercising the animal. The dog was muzzled. Near the Starr Piano factory the dog had a fit. and frothing at the mouth, started down the bank toward the river. It jumped Into the river, swam around in a circle awhile, and then went to the west bank. Later it jumped into the river again and then swam back to the west bank where it had another tit which caused its death. It was undoubtedly afflicted with rabies. Improvements at the Glen are now under way and the arch which has been discussed for so long a time will soon be a reality. The board of works this morning adopted a resolution, ordering Supt. Hollarn to go ahead with arrangements for making the arch at the Main street entrance, hauling stone, and other materials to the place. The plans, made by city engineer Charles, call for a four column arch with separate side entrances for pedestrians. The gulch east of the Main street entrance which is a roaring torrent after heavy rains, will be curbed by a bowldered wall on each side, the bowlders to be set in the cement basin. The entire work will cost about $1,500 which is to be taken from the Chau STOCK LOSS $1,C00 Saturday night at about K;30 a fire broke out in the .hop of Robert Thomas on C Street between Eighth and Ninth streets. A stock of paper goods, which was in the shop at the time, was badly damages. The owner claims to have lost about $1,000 in the fire. Lewis Butler, 115 South Second street, driver for the A. Harsch Coal company, was the victim of a very peculiar accident Saturday morning. Butler was unloading coal at the court house when as he drove over a fairly large stone he was thrown from ht& seat to the ground. His back was painfully wrenched. A physician was called and Butler was removed to his home. DIRECTORS MEETING The board of directors of the Commercial Club will hold their reguUr meeting this evening. As far as known nothing of any general importance will come up for discussion. Slicing Bread. When cutting bread turn the loaf upside down, and you will find that you can cut thinner and more even slices. REAL ESTA TE TRANSFERS

A POOR TYPE OF CITIZEN.

Th Good Man Who Lives by and Exclusively For Himself. r I know a certain type of man who poses as a good citizen, says Bert Walker. vHe breaks no laws, lives morally, pays his honest debts and Is 'never tangled up In lawsuits. But he lives of himself, by himself and for himself only. When a call Is Issued for volunteers to take bold of the car of progress and gire a lift he never answers. When calamity has befallen people In a certain locality and charitable humanity flies to their rescue he la never one of their number. When money Is needed to gild the spire of public enterprise his name is never on the list. When

jne sees some neignoor buic& in tne mud he goes arotind to avoid him. In i fact, were he standing on the shore and should observe the ship of state fast sinking In the surf, never a life line would he throw. He didn't bore the hole In the side of the vessel that lets In the water, so It is none of his concern what happens. But were all mankind made of this kind of clay have you ever thought "what would happen.? There would be no churches, no hospitals for the sick, no institutions for the unfortunate nor rest rooms for the weary. Civilization would roam In Jungles and the strongest would rule. He Is not a good citizen, but gets mad if you say so. Kan- ' sas City Journal.

TILLMAN'S HEALTH EXERCISE RECEIPT! HOW SOUTHERN SOLON CURED HIMSELF

BY SIDNEY ESPEY. WASHINGTON, April 1. Two or three years ago, Senator Benjamin It. Tillman, the "Pitchfork" senator from South Carolina, suffered a physical and nervous breakdown which caused his friends to believe that he would never recover his health. He was obliged to remain away from the Senate for nearly a year, and it was predicted that he would never be able to return to the activities of public life but that he would retire to die at the end of his present term. Today the South Carolina senator is a well man, as robust and healthy as the average man of his years, and he is steadily gaining in vigor. He not only intends to return to the senate, but expects to continue in active public service for many years. The story of the manner in which he recovered his health is interesting as told by himself in Tillmanesque style. It is a story of physical culture and deep breathing as practiced by himself and governed by certain rules which he has written out and given to some of his close associates and friends. Here are the original Tillman health exercise lessons: First Before getting up in the morning take the head off the pillow and stretch out, exhaling all the air from the lungs; then draw in all the air possible and hold ifbetween movements. Kick the buttock briskly, first with one foot and then the other, ten to fifteen minutes. Second Draw up the knees with heels on the bed. Throw the knees far apart and swing together vigorously so as to strain muscles of thighs. Third. Throw one foot, then the other toward head of bed; kick headboard if possible. Still lying on back, kick upwards and drop heels to the buttock at least fifteen times. Fourth Kick upwards with both feet and throw feet apart vigorously. If properly done, this will bring into play muscles ordinarily little used. Fifth. Stretch hands out toward buttock so as to give leverage; put them behind spine, then throw both feet toward headboard, also using addominal muscles to pull up lower extremeties; repeat up and down so as to strengthen such muscles, five or siv times, or as much as can be done with one breath. This reduces the paunch and changes fat into muscle and hardens abdominal muscles. Sixth. Grasp head of bed and throw up feet, pulling up body so as to stand as near on the head as possible. Throw feet up and down five or six times. This develops chest and shoulder muscles.

Seventh. Fasten feet to foot of bed (I use a cot which has a cross piece), and pull trunk of body up to a sitting posture, dropping back and repeating four or five timbes. Eighth. Throw back the head and draw up the feet and lift the body clear of the bed so that the shoulders do not touch. Two or three times is enough for this movement. This completes the exercise in bed. Ninth Get out of bed, take- a cold bath and rub down briskly. Put on an undershirt and get a light pair of dumb-bells mine are three and onehalf pounds. I only use them to give momentum to the movements which are necessary to exercise the muscles of the arms and upper parts of the body. Standing flat-footed and grasping the dumb-bells, throw the arms down to the thighs backward and return, swinging backward and forward as far as possible. I do this fifteen times and, then, continuing the same motion, I bend the trunk forward and let the dumb-bells swing down by the feet on each side, going as near th6

floor as I can, five or six times, at

least. Tenth Keep the knees straightened, try to punch each great toe with each hand, straightening up between each effort and coming back at it as though you meant business. This stretched the muscles of the calf, and also the muscles of the back. Eleventh. Throw the head back and bend the neck as far as possible, looking at the ceiling. Then stoop forward, and touch the floor in front of you if you can. This movement is to loosen the muscles of the spine like working a rusty hinge. Twelfth. Using the dumb-bells, swing them backwards and forward, to the rigrt and to the left, one arm going by the belly while the other extends upward, above the head as far as possible. As one goes down, elevate the other. This will lubricate and loosen the joints of the shoulders. Thirteenth. Extend the arms in front with the dumb-bells clasped tightly, throw both hands behind the back so as to bring them as near together as possible, still holding the dumb-bells. Do this ten times. Fourteenth. Throw one hand to the rear and the other to the front. Twist the spine, first looking over one shoulder and then the other. Do this to loosen the spinal column and make the vertebrae twist, each on the other. This movement can be practiced sitting in a chair with the face toward the back, but I think it is better to do it standing, because the dumb-bells as-

A SMALL BLAZE

A small fire at the home of Henry Myers, at 214 North Fifth, street caused small damage early today.

C0R0T SAVED THE TILE.

He Turned a High Hat Tragedy Into a Work of Art. An interesting relic of Corot is to be seen in the gallery of a picture dealer in the Champs Elysees. It takes the form of a wooden frame inclosing a gray high hat of a style "now forgotten quite." A card explains that "this landscape in the crown of the hat is guaranteed to be a genuine work of CoroV One sees in the hat a rapid study of the artist. The artist has utilized the blue silk lining of the hat to improvise a beautiful sky of summer reflected in the peaceful water below. Upon the bank are three trees and a picturesque Saracen tower, while white clouds among the blue complete the scene. Readers must not jump to the conclusion that this hat landscape is an example of the eccentricity of genius. It is the result of what appeared to be the tragedy of a "white" hat which belonged to a friend of the master. The friend, calling on Corot, happened to place his brand new hat near the easel. In extending the band Corot's brush fell into the hat, leaving an indelible mark. A Cry of despair followed, not exactly that which a high authority has told us is uttered when husbands or lap dogs breathe their last, but nevertheless it was a despairing cry, "My hat is spoiled!" "Not at all," said Corot, bursting Into a hearty laugh. "I will soon put that all right" The painter brushed away the daub caused by the accident, and In a few minutes the picture was complete, and the owner of the hat left the studio with a much more valuable chapeau than that with which he entered.
