POSTURE.

An erect bodily attitude, says DIR.
Greene, is Of vastly more importance to
health than is generally imagined. Crook
ed bodily positions maintained for any
length OF time are always injurious,
whether sitting, standing or lying
whether sleeping or waking.
To sit with the body leaning forward
on the stomach, on to one side, with the
heels elevated to level with the head
is not only in bad taste, but exceedingly
detrimental to health. 1t cramps the
stomach, presses the vital organs, inter
rupts the free motions of the chest and
enfeebles the functions of the abdominal
and thoric organs, and, in fact unbalan-
ces the whole muscular system.
Many children become slightly hump
backed, or severely round-shouldered,
by sleeping with the head raised on a
high pillow. When any person finds it
easier to sit stand or sleep in a crooked
position than straight one, he may be
sure his muscular system is badly de-
ranged, and the more CAREFUL he is to
preserve a straight all upright position
and get back to nature again, the better.
Those persons engaged in occupations
requiring the hands alone to move,
while the limbs remain motionless,
should bear in mind that without fire.
quent raising the frame to an erect posi-
ton, and giving exercise to all parts Of
the body, such a practice will tend to
destroy their health. They should also
sit in as erect a position as possible.

Parents and guardians should see to
it that those under their care maintain
an erect porture, and keep the system in
harmony with the laws of life, especially
during the period of growth.
And persons who, from necessity, are
obliged to remain for time in unnatur-
al or cramped positions, should over

HOW A FORTUNE WAS MADE.
from Whittaker's Journal, I

In 1928 Talmer, having once appeared
in tragedy since 1856 consented to give
his support to Mile. Mars in one of
Cassimir Delavigne's comedies. The
announcement created a wonderful sen
sation-the best actor and the best act
ress in France to appear together. One
morning about a week previous to the
time of the announced appearance, while
Mile. Mars was in her private apart
ments, manufacturer of Lyons asked
for an audience. On entering he spread
out before the actress shimmering fold
of costly yellow velvet, "wiH you .deign
to accept this and make my fortune 2"
said. the visitor. Explanations followed
and it was understood to be a purely
business affair. The sagacious manu-
facturer knew very well that the superb
woman before him set the fashion in
female dress before all Paris. Yellow
velvet was his speciality, but nobody
wore it yet he was assured it would be
all the rage if once seen upon the queen
Of the stage. Mile. Mars did not know.
The color was very trying, she had
dresses enough but, at length, the
pleading of the manufacturer overcome
her scruples and in the goodness Of her
heart she took the velvet and handed it
over to her dressmaker, with instructions
for the making up. The eventful even
ing arrived, and Mile. Mars was arrayed
in her robes of yellow velvet, On be-
holding the reflection of herself in her
dressing room mirror her heart gave way.

shedding tears of vexation. 81 look like

Really cannot appear. Tell the man

least, wait for me-" Talma heard the
words, and hurried from his dressing

had surveyed the queen and heard her
story. ''Upon my word you never look
ed better in your life. The effect is SUI
perb. I am charmed with it," And
the play went on. In less than two
weeks thereafter the salons of Paris wele
literally golden with yellow velvet. A
lady could not be in the fashion in any
thing else. Years afterwards the wealth.
lest manufacturer of Lyons gave grand
fete in honor of Mile Mars, entertaining
her sumptuousiy. The festival was held
in spacious and superb country house
on the banks of the Saone, and the for
tune upon which the estate had been
reared had grown up from yellow velvet.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH:

REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH
The genius which is supposed to pre-
side over the lives of drunken men inter-
posed to prevent shocking accident at
the depot last Saturday. For some time
before the departure of the San Bernar-
dino train, J. North was disporting him
self about the depot in maudlin state
of intoxication. When the train started
be attempted to get aboard, but missed
his hold and fell between the car and
the depot platform. The space here in
tervening is only about eighteen inches
wide, and North, being extremely obese,
failed to go through to terra tirma, where
in all probability he would have fallen
beneath the wheels and met a terrible
death. The car being in motion Oh one
side and the platform stationary on the
other, the man went rolling along in
obedience TO the principles of friction,
but after the fashion of fiour-barrel or
rolling pin. Strange as it may seem,
when extricated he was sound of wind,
limb and body, and almost sober. 4
gun which he held in his hand was brok-
en-. 1t was a close pinch for fat man,
and we would not advise anybody else,
drunk or sober, to try it.

takes jug of hot water with him or her,

THE MOST SPLENDID

and costly furs are Russian sable, sea-
otter and black and silver fox The Rus
sian sable is the finest of all the martens
and, since it is not very prolific, its skins
ere costly. The best and darkest are
obtained in Yakootsk, kamtschatka and
Russian Lapland. The fur varies from
rich brown to a deep jet black, with
points of hair tipped with white. This
constitutes its peculiar beauty, but it has
also the peculiarly of being fixed in the
skin, so that it will turn with equal free
dom in all directions, and lie smoothly
wherever pressed. The best sables are
almost monopolized by the imperial
family and nobility OF Russia, and only
few find their way into other countries.
Some, privately procured in Siberia by
Jewish traders, are brought annually to
the Leipsic fair. A muf of ''crown
Russian sable" is now worth in New
York from S1100 down to $500. Sets
(by which is meant n muff and boa) of
sables not of the very highest quality
cost $500 to $3.50. Sets of sea-otter are
valued at $3.50 to $3.50. These high
lriced furs are bought only by the rich,

are now used for trimmings. The man
ufacture of fur trimmings is greater than
it has ever been, partly because the
dealers in cloth garments have adopted
them as fashion and partly because
people of moderate and small means can
afford them as ornaments, while they
cannot afford to buy full fur sets. OF
these trimmings there is an almost end
less variety, the richest being of the
skins of the black marten (Hudson Bay
sable), the black and silver fox, the gray
fox and the cross fox. This fall, too,
great numbers of fox edgings are being
sold, taking to some extent the place of
trimmings by eking out the fashionable
lengths of sacques.

not point in this case to a redistribution OF
land, but there is little doubt that its as
sociations, with the programme put for
ward. will strongly recommend the new
organization to the peasant class The
movement, however, is in reality engi-
neered by the country gentry, or
landed proprietors. The platform of
tho "Agrarians" is adroitly framed.
Stress is laid on the unequal share Of
the public burdens which real property
is made to bear. The guaranty of divi-
dends to railway corporations, the privi-
leges of banks and the immunities OF stock
companies are specially stigmatized, and
these fruits Of one-sided legislation are
contrasted with the prostration of credit In
the agricultural districts, where the great
holders may with some difficulty obtain
loans on mortgage, but where the small
oultivator must invariably submit to
usury. So far the party seems to deserve
its name, and IT is notsurprising that " dis
burdenment Of the land" should prove
taking cry with the farming population.
In order moreover, to reach the artisans
OF towns, and detach recruits from the
Socialist party, the Agrarlans have lately
added n second shibboleth, "relief of honest
labor" They protest with p great show
of sympathy that the interests of crafts
men and petty traders are sacrificed no less
ruthlessly than those of agriculture to the
banking and manufacturing class and they
insist on readjustment of taxation, the
modification of the Stock and Stamp acts,
and repeal OF the law restricting the
exercise OF trades.
Although this latest device of the land
owners is repudiated, and their programme
denounced with equal fervor by old Dem
ocrats and old Conservatives, the agra
rian movement has already made such
progress that some observers profess
to trace in 1t the secret countenance
of BISMARCK. IL is curious circum-
stance that its latest formulas pronounce
strongly for Capitalization, claiming the
exclusive issue of bank bills, rs well rs the
ownership and management of railways.
for the State. To make sure OF the Chan
cellors favor, they must bid little higher
than this, but IL is not likely that recon-
struction of the Prussian municipal system,
which should approximate the convenient
machinery contrived by the French en-
pire. would be viewed with intense dis
favor by the country magnates who shape
the platform of the new party. The most.
probably, that can be hoped for by these
operators is, that BISMARCK will lend their
candidates some announcement In order
TO coerce his former friends, the Liberals,
who have begun to show themselves re-
fractory. In this way it may be worth his
while to use the so-called Agrarians;
but of one thing they may be sure, they
will not use the Chancellor.

All Honorable Men.

One Of the last acts of the Senate was To
confirm the nomination of A. VI. CLAP rs
Public Printer. The investigation of him
self and his Office has shown the most
shameful abuses corruption, and frauds.
HIS own testimony. aud that of his son.
who mainly runs the machine, was sum
cient, without other proofs, to justify the
conclusions of the committee aud 10 ex-
clude him from all official position.
The committee Of the House granted
CLAPP the privilege to appear by counsel,
and TO examine all the testimony. in order
to make whatever defence he might see n I
to attempt against the damning evidence
Of his guilt But instead of confronting
his accusers and meeting the charges, after
pretending to invite tho opportunity, he
beat dsgraceful retreat by claiming to
be an officer Of the Senate, and therefore
not answerable to an inquiry by the
House That was the best answer he was
able TO make.
After these exposures, both houses
changed the law of this appointment and
vested il in the President and Senate. The
fact that the House had branded CLAPP rs
corruptionist was sufficient TO insure
him the favor of GRANT even If he had not
been pressed by GRANTS friend SHEPHERD,
who is CLAPP's bondsman, and is believed
to share his dishonest gains. To vindicate
CLAPP. he was nominated rs his friend
SHEPHERD was after the investigation Of
1s74 At first some OF the Republican
Senators were disposed to resist the NOM
nation; but the pressure of the Printing
Ring was too strong for their feeble ma
ture. JoHN SHERMAN, who had pronounc-
ed CLAPP corrupt aud unfit, was suddenly
called to Ohio. Others also retreated and
others still yielded to personal appeals aud
Establishments. Mr.. ANTHONY made the
case his personal cause. and begged votes
from both sides. Considering that he has
long been Chairman OF the Committee on
Printing that he has whitewashed CLAPP
several times, made one-sided reports for
him, and that half million a year has
been regularly stolen this zeal of this
Senator is easily understood.
For some peculiar reason, Rhode Island
always turns up in defence OF the Printing
Ring. Mr.. BALLoU, of the House, seems to
have considered that his chief business in
Congress; for he has made no less than
three speeches on the subject, aud all to
sustain the printing plumber. This singu-
lar devotion to jobbery needs no explana-
tion when the simple facts are considered.
But then Mr.. ANTHONY is an honorable
man. And they are all honorable men,
including the CLAPPs, and BALLoU, and
the rest Of them.
