A Corking Plillipino Stove.
The stove industry in the Philippine
Islands has made not the least prog-
ress during the last three or four cen-
turies. Heating stoves are practically;
unknown there, and the cooking stoves
are of the most primitive and at the
same time peculiar construction. They
consist ot a large bowl of unglazed
clay, resting upon a foot shaped like a
eraaller howl turned upside down.. Past
of the upper Tim of the large bowl is
raised and turned upward. At the ends
of the two fiaps are conical prajections,
and a third one extends from the
raised rine, half way between the two
flaps. These three projections form a

of burnt clay, and is unglazed. The
fire is built in the Ierge bowl, and there
being a space of over an inch between
the kettle and the sides of the bowl;
the flames can freel3r PlaY around the
bottom and the sides Of the kettle. In

Legend aside, It is more than prob-
able that the men of today are equal.
and probably superior, in stature to the
ancients.
The Greeks and Romans were un-
doubtedly of small size. The helmets
and sword hilts that have come down
to us from the heroic ages -could not be
used by the majority of soldiers of the
present European natione. Anclent
rings also are generally too small for
modern nngers,
But the elassic writers give testimo-
ny enough on this went Caesar,
speaking of the Gaels, says: -"Our
shortness of stature, in compatison
with the great SiZe, of their bodies. Is
generally a subjeet of such contenne
te the men- of Gaul." Tacitus also de-
scrifed the Germans as ef robust form
and of great stature, and Strabo says
that he had eseh. Britons at Rome who
were half a foot taller than the tallest
Italians. Yet there is no proof that the
men of these nations were any larger
In ancient times than they are now.
On the contrary, the graves and bar-
rows tell a different story. The re-
tnains are usually under the average
height of men a the present day, It

Ancient Postal Service.
The great collection of earthen tab-
lets found at El Amarna moves to give
an idea of the postal service betweeti
Egypt and Babylon as it existed thirty-
four eenturees ago.
The date of these tablets is between.
1600 and 1450 B. C. The insoriptions
on them are in. Babylonian Semitic,
which at that period was the diploe
mate language of the East
Most of them are reports from Egyp-
tian officials in the provinces and in
foreign lande,. and are addressed to
Pharaoh. These clay tablets are no
bulkier than modern official lettere.
In many cases the tablet was enclosed
in an earthen veseel or env'elope which
was inscribed with the address and a
eummary of the contents of the lettei.
We may ass.ume that theee clay let-
ters were handled much as modern
mails are handled. They were proba-
bly c,a.rried in bags. Excellent post
-
roads connected Egypt with every part
of Western Asia, and there were post
and relay stations for the long s mes-
sengers, who probably also forwarded
private letters.
According to the El Armarna tab.
lets Pharaoh was in correspondence
with Babylon and Assyria, Cappado-
cia, Palentine and Syria. The post
roads followed the old paths of war
and commerce which had been trod-
den by caravans and armies through
co untless generatioas.

f To Win a Graceful Walk.
The following exercises are said to
develop the lines of the figureandmake
walking a graceful performance.
1. Walk on tip -toe, toes slightly out-
ward; witb the knees straight, tee hands
claeped tightly behind the head, elbows
as far back as possible. . The more
tightly the hands clasp the back of the
head and the further back the elbows
are held the better, the result.
2. When tired of this exercise use the
old goose step-ethat is walking on tip-
toe with knees straight.
8. Hold the head erect and as far
back as possible -not tilted up, but
drawn back. Nothing else will so et-
fectually raise the uppet part ,of the
ch est.
4. Balancing articles on the head,
after the fashion of the Southern ne-
gre.es; is said, to ineure a graceful car-
riage, but the trouble with this exer-
cise is that the tendeney is to bend the
body and incline the head slightly for-
avardt as this assists in the balancing,

‘t"'''• Years of Revolt..
.,It has been asked which is the bes,
historical illustration of the •saying,
"Ie never raints but it pours!" The rev-
oludons and emeutes all over Europe
in the minus mirabilis 1848 best illus-
trate this proverb, says Pearson's
Weekly. Commencing with the Febru-
ary Revolution of Paris, the popular
insurrections, successful and unsuc-
cessful, of this mernarable year form
an amazing chapter of European his-
tory. In Italy there was revolt in Sic-
ily and Milan, Venice shook off the
Austrian yoke, and Sardinia definitely
headed the great movement which, af-
ter many vicissitudes, ended in eman-
cipating all Italy. In Germany there
was a perfect epidemic of insurrection,
almost every state being affected. Sim-,
• liar uprisiu'gs • took •place in Austria,
and the Emperor was compelled to
leave his capital and ultimately to ab -
Oleate. In Ireland, terribly devastated
by the famine, a trivial rebellion'toek
place, and even in Great Brita.in there
was an enrest, which happily subsided
without any serious consequencee.
There can be no doubt that there was
a sebtle connection between these
&wets, and that a successful revolt in
one country suggests similar attempte
wherever discontent is steong.

KIDNEY PILLS
Are the best friend of kidneys needing
at,sistance. Read the proof from a tailor
elm has tried them. '
Mr. John Robertson merchant tailor,
Durham, One, gives hid experience as
follows:
"I had been ailing with my' kidneye for
Imore than a year when I commenced taking
Doan's Itidney Pills, which I gob at Mc-
Farlane's drug store, and am sincerely gliili
that I did so. The wrong action of my
kidneysmade me sick all over and caused
me much inconvenience and pain. That is
now a thing of the past, because Doan's
telney Pills cured me. I have had no
trouble or ineonveeience with my kidneye
or back since I took these remark ble pills,
and you may be sure that I gladly recom-
mend them to other sufferers."
