Running is one of the best of
for the whole body. It rounds
out a hollow chest, drives the
gen the farthest air-cells of the
lungs, wonderfully increases the
capacity and develops the leg, thigh,
stomach and waist muscles. But it
must be learned, Just as skating,
swimming and bicycling have to
learned, and there are two things
which must be kept in mind by the
learner. Tho first in
sprinting, distance or cross -count
run entirely the
ball of the foot, or, as they say on the
up on your By
striking on the ball of the foot,
which is a natural springboard, the
runner takes a longer stride, and the
spring that he gets enables him to
lift his foot more rapidly repeat
the stride more quickly than tho
runner who goes flat-footed. As
length and rapidity of stride are
what give speed In running, it fol-
lows that a flat-footed
never be a fast one. Another reason
against pounding away flat-footed
is that the delicate mechanism of tho
ankle, knee and hip is jarred and
may in be injured.
The second point for a runner to
observe is his method of breathing.
Breathe through both the nose and
mouth. Nearly every boy when he
first begins to run has tho Insane
idea that all the breathing must be
done through the nose. There was
never a greater mistake. When a
boy runs his heart beats much faster
than it does ordinarily, and pumps
out just so much more blood. Ali
this must be aerated or purified In-
air from the lungs. The oppression
that one feels when beginning to run
is due to the lungs demanding more
for the extra quantity of blood
which the heart is sending out.
Nature has out for this and
provided a way by which air can be
furnished to the lungs very rapidly.
It is a very simple way, and consists
merely opening the mouth.
Breathe, then, through the nose in
ordinary life as much as possible,
but when you are running or
violently open the mouth and
take in air in deep rapid breaths,
not gulping it in through mouth
alone, hut letting the mouth and
nose have each their share.
Take as long a stride as possible,
hut without overbalancing the body.
Bend the body slightly from the
hips, for if it be held too erect the
stride will be shortened. Let the
bent arms swing easily and natural-
a little above the level of the hips,
swinging out and back with every
stride. This keeps the muscles loose,
prevents them from becoming tired
so easily as they would if held rigid,
and balances the body better. Take
especial pains to keep the body from
being stiff; let as easily and
possible. In sprinting the
stride is more rapid than
in running, a
sprinter usually runs with body
thrown further back, in quite differ-
form from the long, easy lop of
the distance

hugely enjoyed by a small but select
audience. A pretty young lady,
with black hair and big brown
eyes, had just left an adjacent
restaurant with a bashful young

get away from his fair companion,
but didn't seem to know just how to
go about it. Several people who
were waiting for a car were startled
to hear the young woman

It lunches where it lands,

When it departs the tortured flesh
rises in bumps calculated to destroy

proves to be a chunk of cuticle cut

lasts a day always. Sometimes
it stays a week, and with its de-

fly bite is an angry red bump like

The black fly loafs about all the
great forests of northeast America.

And so they do. They come on
snowshoes and go away on skates,
and while they sneak the
woods, campers and guides and for-
est-folk spend the day fighting them
off, and at night pour them out of
their shoes and pockets and give the
poor mosquitoes a chance to keep
from starving.
There are three ways of obtaining
intermittent peace from the assaults
of the black fly. One by sitting in
the blinding fumes of punk-
wood smudge; the second, by paint-
your face with tar oil, the third,
by keeping away from the woods.
The last is really the only successful
method, for where there arc

Day.
A in the middle of the
street by young society people and
in broad daylight was one of several
novel and amusing features attend-
a South side wedding reception,
says the Chicago Times-Herald.
Miss Clara Agnes Middleton and
Collins F. Huntington were married
at noon in St. John's church. After
the ceremony forty or fifty intimate
friends were invited to the home of
the bride's parents. Tho bride is
well known In South side society and
musical circles and has often
as soprano in operas
by club, of which
the groom is a member.
No sooner had the bride and groom
left the reception rooms to prepare
for their wedding journey than a
street piano carted on a low express
wagon, and driven by a woman with
a colored shawl over her
shoulders, drove past the house.
Hailing the driver, who was
by a man who might be her
husband, the Carleton club boys en-
gaged their services for an hour.
Selections such as and
Sidewalks of New were
given. Then the best man decided
that the circus was a trifle slow, and,
boosting a pretty young woman in a
pink dress and a pair of ten-acre
sleeves upon the scat, ordered the
chief operator of the outfit to run
alongside of the machine and turn
the crank, while he drove up and
down the street.
After making the circle three or
four times the queer combination
drove to the front of the house again;
the of the organ was
again subsidized, and then a quad-
was organized in the middle of
the street. Here, to the inspiring
strains of ground
out by tho traveling professor, four
pretty girls in their prettiest gowns,
and four young society men, adorned
in all the raiment necessary to make
wedding a success, tripped
an old-time quadrille. The fun was
kept up until the pretty gowns of
the girls and tho immaculate linen
of the young men began to wear a
wearied look.
The music was continued the
bridal couple drove away in a COT-
neatly draped in white ribbons
and adorned with a coat of arms i
hanging to the rear axle in form of I
a much-worn and generous-sized I
shoe.
BLACK ROSES.
The Unique Production of a German
Gardener.
We learn, on good authority,
a certain enterprising gardener has
at last succeeded in producing a
black black as as j
he proudly declares. Perhaps it is
needless that this persevering,
but rather melancholy, person is a I
German. So far his achievement is
unique, though green roses i

of his fraternity. Science, we sup-
pose, makes every experiment worth
while, otherwise one would be I
tempted to question whether the re-1
were worth the trouble taken,
as a black rose certainly cannot, ,
from a purely Philistine point of
view, be considered as beautiful as a
pink or yellow one.- Moreover, the
good man is a trifle behind the
times, since the artificial flower J
makers succeeded in making us all
thoroughly tired of black roses quite
a ago. It is to be
hoped that the craze for unnaturally
flowers will not spread,
otherwise we shall see black lilies,

As in a Story Book.
The dowager empress of China has
had a romantic history. She was an
extremely beautiful girl, the
daughter of poor parents who lived
in the suburbs of Canton. When
the family was starving she, know-
her commercial value, persuaded
her parents to sell her as a slave.
She was purchased by a renowned
general, who, delighted with
beauty, disposition and general
adopted and educated her as
bis daughter. When later the gen-
was summoned to Peking, he
could think of no finer gift to offer
his sovereign than his daughter.
The emperor found her so charming
that be made his wife. When her
husband died, in 1881, this
empress regent, the present
emperor being only seven years old,
She found China crippled by debt and
torn by Internal rebellions, yet five
years ago, when she over the
governing power to her son,
