-variation is considerable. Devon

Walking up -stairs 'backward 0603

"Firstly and most imporbanie"
he said, "walking upsbairs back-
wards would prevent any tendeecy
to hurry. No matter how inveter-
ate a 'stair -rush' a man might be,
he wouhl have to moderate his pace
if going backwards. This enfereed
deliberation would, of course, be of
great value in heart disease.
"The eec,ond effect would be to
relieve the strain from the ordin-
ary walking aed climbing museles

and to press into service those On

THE WILY CHINESE.
Schemes They Adopt to Pet Into

'sorts of measures to prevent the

Australia and China, for the pur-
pose of "emuggling" Chinese into
the country. There are, eourse,

eeutage of British. To -day 96 per-
cent. of her people were either born
in the Malted Kingdom or are des-
cendants of those who were born in
Great Britain. A favorite method
of the Chinese to gein admission is
the personation of Chinese to whom
exemption certificates have been is.
About five months ago a
Chinese, whose name is unknown,
landed ab Brisbane withoub being
required to,pase the dictation test.
He presented a -certificate issued at
