A large number of rats established them

room to draw his tail after him it was left

Bossoa TruaSeripI.
Round shoulders, q stooping gait and .
Tat chest in women and girls can be cured
in q very short time by fifteen minutes ex-
ercise night and morning in the open air or
q wellventilated room. The morning ex-
ereise had best be taken Immediately after
rising, before dressing for the day, as tight
clothing viii interfer with the free move
ments required.
The FIRST thing to be done is to stand
erect with the heels together, the head
thrown back, the chest thrown out, and the
hands Ringing loosely at the side. Then
the lungs should be thoroughly filed with
air and slowly exhausted, perhaps half a
dozen times The arms should now be
brought forward at tuu length in front on a
level with the shoulders. the palms OF the
hands in contact. Keeping the arms eN-
tended, the hands should be forcible thrown
backwards until the backs of the hands
touch behind the shoulders, while the palms
come together before the chest. Let this
motion be gone through with rapidity some
thirty times
In the next move hold the arms straight
above the head with the palms Of the hands
forward; now, bending the hips. bring the
arms down in 'front.' keeping them straight
all the time until the fingers touch the toes;
then return the hands to their original
position above the head. This motion
should be performed very slowly twenty or
thirty times. AT first it will be almost i'm
possible 10 touch the floor with the finger
tips without bending the knees, but in the
course Of timeit will be performed readily.
In the third movement the lady should
hold her hands close TO her side with the
thumbs still forward; bring the arms up
return them to the 6rst position. The arms
must not be bent at the elbows. It parsis,
ted in this movement will straighten out
STOPPING shoulders.
Any lady who viii vigorously practice
these movements twice day for fifteen
minutes viii presently have full chest,
straight shoulders and sound lungs
Every lady is ambitious to be the posses
SOr Of Sellrounded muscles and a full chest;
and where she is not possessed of them, she
tries TO dupe the public into believing that
they are hers by means ofpads, or else she
resorts to quacks who advertise nostrums tor
the DEVELOPMENT of the figure. Take the
bicepS muscle Of the arm, for instance
one of the most noticeable features of
woman in full dress. A few minutes exer-
else each day for a year will increase the
girth ofthis muscle two incheS-enough to
make all the difference between thin arm
and plump one. And the same amount
of exercise given to the chest will increase
it from four to six inches In addition to
the beauty given to the figure by the full
chest, the increase Of lung power will serve
to vitalize every organ in the body, and will
bring with it clear eve, good blood, and its
attendants, fair complexion springy STEP
high spirits and capacity of enjoyment I'M

Ghosts I'm q silver Mine.


Two men prowling around in the Balti-
more mine at American Flat got scared
nearly out Of the township BY queer sights
in an old drift. They went into the mine
for the purpose of seeing whether there was
ore enough in sight to pro6tably extract
on tribute. Climbing into slope, they
heard the click of hammers and were much
surprised, as they supposed of one had
been there for years Following up the
sound they were astonished to see two
striking hammers hard at work on the head
of o rusty drill, which was being deity
turned By unseen hands, and, though not a
soul in sight but themselves, they heard a
lively conversation, but could make out no
words. They looked and listened for some
minutes when fear took hold of them, and
they got out Of the mine quickly. At the
dollhouse they related their experience and
were laughed at, but to prove that their
heads were clear they conducted a couple
of skeptics to the spot and found the ham
meTs still at work,
