A GIRL's COMPOSITION ON BoYs.-
Boys is strange things. Boys is of three
kinds-the baby boy, the little boy and
the big boy. l don't like the baby boy,
cause he squalls and kicks, and l have
to rock him with a cradle. But if the
big boy or the little boy squalls and
kicks l can rock him with stones. I
like the little boy best when he has
candy and gives me some. l like the
big boy when it SHOWS, cause he can
haul me on his new sled. A boy is a
little man-if he behaves himself, and
if he don't he's little devil; that's
what mother said brother Bob was
t'other day, when he told old Miss
Smith that mother said she was old
bore. Papa said he was little boy
once, but mother said she wasn't and
she wished papa was little boy some
more. Sister Julia says she don't like
boys, and saw her and Tom Brown a
setting in the same rocking chair Sum-
day night. she said she was trying to
squeeze the life out of him cause she
didn't like him; but don't think she
was hurting any place for he wouldn't
let her get up. This is all | know
about boys, and mother says she hopes
wont never know no more about 'em.

POSTURE.

An erect bodily attitude, says Dr.
Greene, is of vastly more Importance to
health than is generally imagined
Crooked 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, or to one side. with the
heels elevated to level with the head
is not only in bad taste, but exceeding
ly detrimental to the health. 1t cramps
the stomach, presses the. vital organs,
interrupts the free motion of the chest,
and enfeebles the functions of the abb
dominal and thoric organs, and, in fact,
unbalances the whole muscular system.
Many children become slightly hump
backed or severely round shouldered by
sleeping with the head raised on high
pillow. When any person finds it easier
to sit, stand or sleep in a crooked posi-
tion than straight one. he may be
sure his muscular system Is badly de-
ranged, and the more careful he is to
preserve straight or an upright posi-
tion, and get back to nature again, the
better.
Those persons engaged in occupations
requiring the hands alone to move,
while the lower limbs remain notion
less, should bear in mind that without
frequently raising the frame to an erect
position, and giving exercise to all parts
of the body, such practice will tend to
destroy their health. They should also
sit in as erect position as possible.
With seamstresses there is always more
or less STOPPING of the head and shoul-
ders, tending to retard circulation, res
piration and digestion, and produce
curvature of the spine. The head should
be thrown back to give the lungs full
play. Health cannot be without free
respiration. Strength and general
health must come from exercise. Con-
fined attitudes are in violation of cor
rect theories of healthy physical devel-
opments and the instincts of nature.
Those accustomed to sit writing fol
hours, day after day, can form some
idea of the exhausting nature of the
tOilsOme and poorly paid labor of the
seamstress.
Parents and guardians should see tc
it, that those under their care maintain
an erect posture, and keep the system
in harmony with the laws of life, espec
) tally during the period of growth. AnC
persons who, from necessity, are obliged
: to remain for a time in unnatural o.
cramped positions, should overcome tn,
evil, as far as possible, by proper exer
else in the open air and other means o
maintaining strength, vigor, harmon,
r and beauty of their physical constitu
| tions.

THE LONELINESS OF AN INvA-
LIDS LIFE.

Few are they who, in the activities of
robust life, pause to think of the loneli-
ness of the helpless invalid-of the iso-
lated bondage of weakness. To young
woman who is cut off from all youthful
amusements and pursuits, who is re-
strained from love, who, within four
walls, is bound to her couch by chains
as cruel as If they were made of steel,
whose hands are forbidden any response
to the busy motions of her mind, there
come hours when even sympathy wearies
of its ministry, and mercenary attend
ance must seek relief from its burdens.
She must be left alone, her hands folded
in patient waiting. Reminiscence, idle
dreaming, aspiration, regrets, tears
these come in pathetic routine to fill the
heavy hours when society departs.
Great, silent heroisms are wrought out
in intervals like these, more wonderful
than the common imagination can con-
ceive; or great moral disasters are suf.
fered, from which there is no recovery.
In one direction or the other-toward
cheerful, self-forgetful, ever-buoyant
rfortitude or toward fretfulness, impa-
tience, discomfort and weak complain.
ing-the invalid always gravitates

they were, the story of their lives might
we'll be written as record of the best
results of earnestness, courage, diligence
and uprightness in business. Beginning
with small capital in business which
was not then promising, these men have
lived to see their names attached to one
of the greatest and most influential
publishing firms in the world. They
have made themselves known and hon.
ored wherever books are read, and they
have done greatly more than this. Their
energy, their sagacity and their liberal
ity have been of untold benefit to their
country. They have done much to
make an American literature possible,
not only by liberal dealings with Amer
ican writers, but by scattering the best
literature broadcast through the land,
and thus creating the demand for books
upon which alone a successful literature
can be founded. Few men have done
more for their kind than they did in
their unostentatious way, and as they
have one by one laid down the burdens
of their lives, they have seen in their
sons men fitted by training in their
school to take them up and to carry for
ward the work to which their lives have
been given. There is better romance
in the lives of such men as these than
any that imagination has ever pictured

WAITING THE AUsP1CIoUs MOMENT
Every night he visited the revival
meeting at the First Presbyterian church
and looked intently up at the rostrum
as if drinking in every word that the
evangelist said. Friday night the min
lister, seeing his earnestness, said to
him: "My friend, are you Christian %
"No sir" was the reply.
"You seem to be always looking to-
ward the rostrum with great earnest
ness. hope an interest has been awak-
ened in your heart"
81 am just waiting to see what that
man up there in the choir with the
blonde mustache and projecting teeth
will decide to do.''
"Ah, my dear sir" said the pastor,
"you must not wait till your friends
come to Christ. You must act for your
SELF You must embrace your Saviour
whether any one else does or not"
"Oh, that amt it. You see that man
always gets religion at every revival,
and am just layin' low for him to
come forward and say that he has had
change of heart, SO that can stand
at the door when he comes out and ask
him to pay me that $40 he owes me be-
fore he has chance to backslide."
The minister turned sadly away

WRITING FOR THE PREss.-Amateur
writers for the press will find these hints
from the Burlington Hasokeye simply
invaluable:
Never write with pen or ink. 1t is
altogether too plain, and doesn't hold
the mind of the editor and printers close
enough to their work.
If you are compelled to use ink, never
use that vulgarity known as the blotting
pad. If you drop blot of ink on the
paper, lick it off. The intelligent COM
positor loves nothing so dearly as to read
through the smear this will make across
twenty or thirty words. We have seen
him hang over such piece of copy half
an hour, swearing like pirate all the
time, he felt that good.
Don't try to write too plainly. 1t is
a sign of plebeian origin and public
school breeding. Poor writing is an in
dication of genius. It's about the only
indication of genius that great many
people possess. Sprawl your article with
your eyes shut and make every word as
illegible as you can. We get the same
price for it from the rag man as though
