BELLIES AND DUMeeeLLs.
Fifth Avenue Girls Who Practice In
Private Gymnasiums.

Private Gymnasiums.
The young women Of the present gen.
Grafton that one meets on Fifth avenue
and upper Broadway are as Eosy, healthy
and as synmetric:ally developed as Enc.
fish girls, although they still retain their
clear cut beauty of features and slender
hands and feet, The reason of this per-
feet physical development is traced to the
private gymnasiums in the city, where
almost every branch of athletics is
taught. And for the past fifteen years
these gymnasiums have increased in
number. Every private school of any
prominence has one, and in many homes
Of wealthy residents a Saal,a ~ the top
fioOr is fltted up with q spring board, hori=
zontal bars, pulleys, weights and other
athletic furniture, and here the daugh-
tcrs of tho house spend many hours.
"The majority of ladies attend gymna-
Sums more for the object of attaining
perfect physical development than to be-
come experts in any athletic exercise

'that society woman needs good figure
to appear to advantage ut entertainments.
and She has found that q rAs.1,ar course
OF GV". ....-..cs will do more to make her
arms round, her neck graceful and her
carriage stately than any course Of dane
ing lessons" l.-.
Many mothers prefer to train their
daughters at home, and most of the bellies
OF u season go through a regular drill for
years before their debut. One lady liv-
ing on Madison avenue has her three
daughters come to her every morning at
III O'Clock. They wear regular gymnasium
suits of dark blue flannel, consisting of q
blouse and skirt and Turkish trousers of
flannel, shoes without heels and short
slefyes;
Each girl takes corner of the room,
her face turned toward it, her heels placed
together and her hands fiat on either
side of the wall just even with her Shout
dcrs. Then, as the mother counts, they
bend forward, the shoulders going be-
You'd the hands, which are kept firm, and
bracing them backward. The feet are
kept IN the first position, After the body
has bGen swayed to and fro O hundred
times the maidcns arc permitted to rest.
They are as erect as If drilled in the regu-
lar army, and this is due to the old fash
Toned exercise.
The next exercise, also one employed
by our grandmothers, is carrying pail
of water ON the head and one in either
hand across the room without splitting a
tlrol: This gives q graceful poise to the
head and shoulders which is noticeable In
the lower orders of Italian women who
are obliged to carry in this way. These
three girls can all accomplish the difficult
feat, but it has taken them years to learn.

Origin of "thc Dead Wood"

'I've got the dead weed an Yeg,n is
an eyppeasisn signifying that the evil
dencs OF unfair dealing are producible for
the justification of the defendant. 1t
originated in this way: A mans wife
died and first class coffin was ordered.
The coffin, supposed to he af rosewood,
Was laWerpd elilnsily into the grave, and
one corner Of 1t was Knocked of. The
gentleman took the piece Of wood home,
and found It was pine, Tho bill was pre-
scutet md n rosewood ealIin was one OF
the items. The undertakes was forced To
sue for tho amount, and when brought
10 court the defendant produced his chip
in evidences. SO goes the story.-Dctroit

The Uses OF Lemons.

The juice of half a lemon IN O glass of
water, without sugar, will frequently cure q
sick headache. . ..r... ......... .. .r....
If the hands be stained there is nothing that
will remove the stain better than q lemon or
q lemon and salt, .... .,..-.
After the juice has been squeezed from the
lemon, the refuse can be used for the purpose.
Lemon juice is also a very good remedy
for rheumatism and the so called biliousness
of spring In the latter case the juice should
DO taken before breakfast The pulp may
also be eaten, avoiding every particle Of
skin.
Lemon juice and sugar, mixed very thick,
is useful to relieve coughs and soro threats
1t must be very acid as well as sweet.

only because of its intrinsic worth, but from
its artistic merit,-Jewelers Circular.

where the wnter Goes.

It is estimated that each year from
"a, 600 to 81, 600 cubic miles of rain falls
upon the surface Of the globe. What
becomes of it? The rivers seldom carry
off one-half, except in regions of close
grained rocks; the rest disappears by
evaporation, by the absorption of the
earth, and by being taken up by plants,
animals, and mineral oxidation In
most parts of temperate ATTITUDES the re-
moval by rivers Is from third to two
fifths of what falls; In warm ATTITUDES
the amount is less, and may be under
one-tenth, The Mississippi carries away
one-fourth of the rainfall of its drainage
area; the Missouri. three-twentieths; the
Ohio, one-fourth; the rivers of England
aud Wales, nine-sixteenths. -Arkansaw

To Restore Faded Carpets.

Faded carpets, rugs or tapestries may be
much improved in appearance by the ap-
plication of liquid dyes. An old carpet
that is more faded than worn may DO thor
oughly cleaned, beaten and busted until the
pile is free from lint or dust. It should then
be wiped over with cloth wrung out of hot
soap suds. The pile should be fairly damp,
and before it is dry should DO brushed with
stiff broom to raise any of tho threads
that may have become packed down. When
nearly dry go over it with the liquid coiors
carefully, applying those colors as they orig
inaily appeared as nearly as possible. -a-,..,

1.-THE POLICY"

If the party managers in the Capitol,
who, by the way, have, properly speak
ing, nothing to do with the management
of the party, will hold another con-
ference, they may find out how little
they know, and what the policy has
resulted in.
The automaton calculation of figures
and the gross misrepresentation of facts,
the organ-grinding song about the
"enemies of the State" the silly SEN
sation, the Malone imitation of bOssism,
and the forcing of official duty to the
command of party managers, will soon
see the elimination of its folly and the
result of introducing Mahoneism " into
