Clear the Sidewalks.

CIoSbf the SIOeWalkS.
A good many people complain, and
with reason, that the sidewalks are not
plowed out during storm, or even
promptly at it's close. So many people
now, both men and women are obliged
to use the sidewalks whatever their
condition, that the snow plows should
start when the storm does. It is bet
ter that three or four mon with horses
should be put to little discomfort
than that thousand men, women and
children should have to wade through
the snow for several hours, as they
have had to do every storm this win
ter SO far, on some of the principal
streets.

This is a serious evil. 1t compromises
both appearance and vitality. A stoop

expression of weakness or ole
age, but is, when caused by care
less habits, direct cause of contracted
chest and defective breathing. Unless
you rid yourself of this crook while at
school, you will probably go bent to the
grave. There is one good way to cure it,
Shouder-braces will not help. Cnt

some means to develop the muscles whose
duty it is to hold the head and shoulders
erect. know of but one bulPs-sye
shot. 1t is to carry a weight on iht
head. 4 sheepskin or other strong bag
filed with twenty to eighty pounds OF
sand is a good weight. When en-,
gagged in your morning studies, either
before or after breakfast, put this bag OF
sand on the head, hold your head erect,
draw your chin close to you neck, ana
walk slowly about the room, coming
back, if you please, every minute
or two to your book, or carrying the
book as you walk The muscles, whose
d,ny it is to hold head and shoulders
erect are hit, not with scattering shot,
but with a rife ball The bones Of the
SHINE and intervertebral substance will
soon accommodate themselves to the new
attitude. One year of daily practice with
the BAG, half an hour morning ane even
inc. will give you a noble carriage, with
out interfering moment with your
stuu;cs.
It would be very difficult to put into a
naraorqph more important instructions
than this. Your respiration, voice and
strength of spine, to say nothing Of your
appearance, will find a no'' departure IN

On the other hand, the man whose ear

ractable, inattentive, needless; he is ac-
customed to hear, it is true, but not to

man may be handled, by reason of his
being unobservant. A good many ex-
cellent public servants have such ears,
