Digestion' ia Improved, Appetite Sharpened, and Circulation Accelerated. Walking calls gorth an amount of energy far beyond what is generally supposed, ana tnererore it ranks as one of the best forms of physical exer- cise. As a spell In the open air,-amid ever-ciianging scenery, vaJKing con trasts favorably with the exercises common to a stuffy srymnaisum. More over, walking demands an eilort on the part of the very organs which con tributes more than all the rest to the enjoyment of life. Now, as the actual benefits that walking efiects, and the peculiar ad vantage to which the exercise gives rise. In the first place, the tempera- ture of the body is sufllclently raised to cause a rapid interchange in the contractile tissues. This means that by these quickened changes the inus- cles are more abundantly supplied with nutriment from the blood, and their waste products by various chan nels more quickly dispersed. Then with regard to respiration, this, of course, is accelerated, and breathing becomes much deeper. Con sequently, a larger volume of oxygen is absorbed by the blood, and oxygen it will be remembered, is of far more importance than our daily food. , Next we look to the skin: the mil lions of pores being widely opened, the increased respiration carries out of the body a larger q:2nity of effete matter than would otherwise escape. Digestion also is so markedly Improv ed by walking that the apretite is sharpened for a subsequent meal, and the food is taken with a keener relish. Then, as everybody knows, the cir culation of the blood Is accelerated, so that every nook and corner of the body receives an extra quantity of nutri ment. Lastly the organs of excretion are stimulated by walking, so that a larger quantity of refuse is eliminated by the natural channels. The few facts thus briefly enumerated should of themselves suffice to encourage the practice of walking. But more has yet to be claimed in favor of this ad mirable exercise. In addition to what has alread. been 6tated respecting resplration,,'i stm rutner benefits accrue from the more perfect breathing or walking ex ercise. xnecnestis separate from tbe ab domen by means of the diaphragm, which occupies much of the position vi a ceuing ana noor oetween an up per ana lower chamber. Above the diaphragm are the lungs, which par tlally rest upon the structure, while immediately below it are the stomach. liver, and spleen. The diaphragm, being an elastic membrane, is pressed downward as the lungs are fully inflat ed with air. This downward move ment brings pressure to bear on the organs below, hence they are constant ly submitted to a species of niassatre. Treatment of this nature is highly beneficial all around, but it is espe cially so with regard to the liver; con sequently, we find that persons ac customed to regular walking excer ciseS , rarely need to complain of "a torpid liver." And then, beyond all this,' the more complete inflation of the lungs due to walking occasions a more perfect supply of gaseous food. The actual gain of oxygen, and the Increased inspiration of carbonic acid, are very nearly doubled by the exer cise. Pearson's weekly. Horrifying Experience Related By Marshall County, Ala., Man. Huntsville, Ala., Sept. 22 Being almost whipped to death by a coach whipsnake, is tbe experience claim ed by J. A. Mordant, a well-known citizen of Marshall County. In a letter to his county paper, the Gun tersville Democrat, Mr. Mordant tells of the incident. He says he had been calling on his pastor and when walking home through a cot ton patch, he came upon a snake that measured thirteen feet in length. Seizing a rock, he threw it at the snake, and when the reptile showed Fght he turned and ran. but the snake overtook him. The snake made two coils around the man's body and began to whip him. Mor dant had nothing to defend himselt with but a snail knife and for a time he was doubtful whether he would be whipped or squeezed to death before he could inflict a fatal wound on the reptile. Almost ex hausted, hesank to his knees and succeeded in cutting the snake s head from his body. He was ex hausted by the experience, but, af ter recovering, he came upon the mate of the dead snake. This time there was not the battle because Mr. Mordant was the best sprinter, A Tiger Hunt. "The operation of a daily minus telegraph news in a small town is a constant source of temptation to man ufacture news," said Charles Henton of Tronto, Canada. "I had the Issue put up to me one night while sitting at the city editor's desk of a paper in Belleville, Ontario. The day previous a circus had been to town, and lite this afternoon the tidings came that one of the tigers had broken out of its cage,, and was roaming at large There were no details, and the tele phone was not In commission then But the tiger was loose, and duty to the paper required that the absent in formation be supplied somehow. Our constituents had a contracted rlgh to expect that of us. So 1 sent that tiger charging up the pike, attracting men, women and children and leaving behind a bloody trail. A posse of deputy sheriffs and crack' shots was organized and the hunt was on. didn't know exactly what a tiger ought to do, and 1 put this one through a course of stunts that would have sur prised even his trainer. The rifle balls failed to penetrate bis hide, and at one time he turned on his pursuers and devoured several who did not have time to get out of the way. Finally an old hermit, armed with a fiddle mixed in the affair and began playing The tiger's jaw's relaxed; he crept nearer and nearer to the musician, who sawed away for dear life. Closer and closer the wild beast came, and then laid down at the feet of the her mit and went to sleep. The fiddler, fearing to stop, played on and on while a rider rode to town for bottle of chloroform. It was a long journey, but he managed to get back with the drug just as the fiddler had about, played himself out. The chlo- form was deftly administered, and the sleeping beast secured to a tree with heavy log chains, where he was held as security until the circus peo ple came across with the damages. "It was pretty far-fetched, and 1 thought, as a matter of course, the people would laugh at it and let it go as a hard-up editor's pipe dream. The citizens of Belleville did treat it tbat'way, but a copy of our paper got into Montreal and the editor asked for 2,000 words about 'the tiger hunt Before I had made up my mind what to do there were a dozen requisitions Nothing delivered on Sunday af ter 11 a. m.

'Thus absolved, I delivered the goods. When the night editors took that story off the wires they must have marveled at the paucity of the earlier details printed In the home paper. The tiger ran through houses, broke up a church meeting and climbed trees in advance of the pur suing cohorts. He took chances that no tiger in all history had ever taken before; he had to.
