Treatment for DroopinE7Shoulde

This is serious evil. It compromises both appearance and vitality. A stopping figure is not only familiar expression of weakness or old age, but is, when caused by careless habits, direct cause of contracted chest and defective breathing. Unless you rid yourself of this crook while at school you will proba- bly, go bent to the grave. There is one good way to cure it. Shoulder braces will not help. One needs, not an artificial substitute, but some means to develop the muscles whose duty it is to hold the head and shoulders erect.
 know of but one bulls eye shot. It is to carry weight on the head. A sheepslzin or other strong bag filled with twenty to eighty pounds of sand is 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 your neck and walk slowly about the room, coming back, if you please, every minute or two to your book, or carry ing the book as you walk. The muscles, whose duty it is to hold head and shoulders erect, are hit not with scattering shot, but intervertebral substance will soon accommo- date themselves to the new attitude. One year of daily practice with the bag, half an hour morning and evening, will give you noble carriage without interfering moment with your studies. It would be very difficult to put into paragraph more important in- structions than this. Your respiration. voice and strength of spine, to say nothing of your appearance, will find new departure in this cure of dropping shoulders-Dr bio Lewis.

Three Phases of Human Nature.

happened to be witness to an accident a few days ago, which gave an interesting ex- hibition of two or three phases of human na- ture The car was so well filled that several women were left standing, holding on by the straps apparently, as my friend the Cynic contends, preferring this mode of transit to tho delay of waiting for car with seat room. One of these women, failing to at tract the notice of the conductor at the place where she wished to be set down, her self reached for the bell rope, and of course pulled the cord of the register. Tho clang of the gong, carrying in it's tone 0 semblance of nickels dropping from his own pocket into the treasury of the company, startled the conductor out of his self possession, and he dashed inside, upraiding the careless passen- ger, representing himself as injured, and de- manding repayment as Q condition of stop ping the car But the recording angel, as I may be permitted to call the woman, was quick to- comprehend the advantage of her position, and when the conductor insisted upon reimbursement because ''he would have to pay it," reached again for the cord with an expression of wrathful scorn: "Well, then, pay that! and that! and that!' as she quickly ''rang in" three moro fares for the astounded man. "There, now!" she ejacu- lated with satisfaction, as she made her way to the platfornl.-Boston Post.

An East In"ian Sybarite.

The death of the last king of Oudh de- prives Calcutta of a picturesque and almost legendary parsonage. To the visitor the red and blue roof of his palace, the gardens, stocked with wild beasts and brilliant birds his innumerable guards and attendants and the tens of thousands of pigeons that were always wheeling above the grounds seemed to embody the fantastic life of native India. The men guarding the doors were all his own sepoys from Cawnpore and once you had an order to penetrate the charmed circle you passed through a beautiful succession of groves and parterres and miniature grass plots and pleasant terraces. His menagerie fell away of late, but some years back it al- most rivaled the famous collection in the London zoo. A tank somethink like 15O yards square was covered with storkS and pelicans and swans, and had ample we'll wooded rambling grounds around it. The smaller birds were sheltered ill lofty aviaries. The lions and tigers and wolves and other ferocious animals were, of course, caged but caged very comfortably.
 In another garden building that looked like magniied ant hill was fixed in the cen- ter of a large square we'll, and was carefully surrounded with water. Here the snakes were segregated, and 800 of them lived in the narrow holes with which the strange build ing was artifcially honeycombed. It used to be one of the great sights of the day to see them fed with frogs. But his pigeons formed the great feature of the kings collection
 "One who knew him. writes that he led a kingly life to the end, though he had not more than 1000 subjects to govern. "He held court and received legal honors, created titled nobles according to his caprice, and travelled over his grounds ill a campan, oc- cupying at different times different country seats, like other kings" At one time he would watch his animals and his fishes being jed, at another his rams and cocks and quails would be brought up to fight before him. He had, we are told, prevailing passion for order and cleanliness. He prayed five times day, though he ate only one meal. but from morning till night he chewed pan sopari and smoked the hookah.-Tim:es of India.

A Victory of Peace.

Even now a bloodless revolution is going on throughout the Transvaal. The inroad of English and English speaking colonists is an glicizing everything. The telegraph is open to Barberton, and when the Dutch conces- sionnaires continue the Delagoa Bay railway to Pretoria the rapid means of communica- tion and social intercourse with all tell their tale. Even now, may safely affirm, there is moro English than Dutch spoken in the republic. The queens jubilee was celebrated from the Vaal river to the Limpopo. There are now many English farmers, and the chief businesses of the country are conducted by Englishmen.
 The older Dutch members of the commu- nifty are viewing all these changes with alarm; they would fain be left in peace; they fear their country is going to be- wrested from them. They do not realize the ''Verdomte Engleshmann" is replenishing their exchequer to the tune of e3O,OOO a month, developing the resources of their country, and finding a ready market for their produce But the younger generations are being educated, and are better informed Magazine.

A VENEZUELA COUNTRY INN.
.:ry Rooms with Stone Floors-Bats [
 Room 1Iates-Eatables.

.:ry Rooms with Stone F1oors-Bats as
 Room NIates-Eatables.
 The usual country inn all over Venezueln reminds me of those of Mexico, Spain and even northern Africa, for the Moors intro slllced their mode of living and travelling into 5 ,ain, and the Spaniards adopted it for their oy;l country as we'll as for the colonies, which
 cy founded only few years after the ,.o.ynfall of the Moors. All these posadas, fondas, or fonditas, are built in square s.i;.oe, with an interior courtyard, frequently adorned with flower beds and palm trees and surrounded hy galleries. The traveller, after descending from his horse, is usually shown to enc of the few large, airy rooms, with stone floor and high ceilings, in which three or fur folding beds, consisting of piece of canvas stretched over a wooden frame. and probably one or two chairs, are the only pieces of furniture. In larger towns of G,O00 to 5000 inhabitants there will be even wash table, but it's presence is not in- sisted upon by the weary traveller, who can as well do his washing in the river or the acequia.
 Sometimes one room has to be shared with two or three fellow travellers, invariably men, for stopped at posadas where female travellers have not been seen for years. There are, of course, no glass windows in any of the country ''hotels,n but the windows are barred with heavy iron gratings and wooden slaves. On convenient places under the cell ing there are iron hooks and rings, for the wealthier traveller frequently carries his own hammock, on which, suspended across the room, he prefers to pass the nights sheltered against the attacks of centipedes. scorpions or minor bloodthirsty things, but without defense against bats, some of which arc very large. 1 did not sleep in many rooms with out a few bats as room mates. Even in pri vate houses on the haciendas of the wealthier planters they fitted about the room. When they became too familiar and approached my face got up, and, shaking sheet, drove them out of the window; but they invariably returned, without, however, ever settling down on my face.
 One might be able to keep snoring fellow travellers out of the room by engaging all the beds, but sometimes, when guests are numer- ous and accommodations scanty, one cannot help sharing the room with them. The al- muerzo and the comida are not the best, but there are always eggs, chicken, salad and coffee to be had. while in the larger towns red wine is included in the meals and not paid for extra. Tho reader will probably not be tempted to undertake any travels i'll Ven ezuela, but must confess that fared worse in many countries with the reputation of be- ing far more civilized than our sister repub- lie. Travellers, after riding on horseback day after day, sometimes for weeks, are usu- ally so tired that they will sleep anywhere and so hungry that they will eat anything. As precaution against accidents lnvaria- ply carried bottle of brandy and d few tablets of chocolate along.-E. De Hesse Warteg.

ROGER LAROQUE.
Adapted and Translated from the French
 of Jules Mary.

At this instant he felt u heavy hand fall upon his shoulder, and instantly be found himself surrounded by five men, among them the very man he had Supposed dead under his assassin's knife.
 While they stood thus, each man silent, not knowing just what move to make next, cry so piercing, so loud and prolonged, a woman's scream that ended ill a ghostly wall, rang out through the silence of the night, and the sound came from the balcony of the house Roger Laroque had inhabited with his family, and this cry was only one word:
 "Roger!"
 Every one shuddered at this ghostly wall, and Luversan said:
 q am lost, lost!"
 "Luversan," said Roger, "the only thing that will save you is confession"
 "Confessl What have to confess1 You saw all"
 "It does not relate to this crime attempted on me, but another one."
 'sI do not understand you."
 "You understand me only too well. This IS not your first visit to this house, for one night ten years ago you came here. You climbed up, as you did tonight, in this very room This place has terrible recollections for you"
 "Who are you?' cried Luversan.
 'You came here." continued Roger, "and you saw a man at the secretary with his back turned. He did not hear you. Your two fists fell upon his white head and then you tried to strangle him. After that, as the poor old man struggled and you found him stronger than you had thought, ill your fear you shot him, and then you left with your pockets filled with his money. Larou- cite was dead and you were his assassin"
 :Who are yous What are yous" gasped the wretch.
 ''Confess your crime Here is M. De Ligne- rolles, magistrate, and M. Lacroix, and they both hear you Confess, ifyou wish that they have mercy for you later"
 "Teil mo, first. who are you:"
 "You did not know me. It is true they thought me dead. Remember one whom you commenced to hate during the war, when you were courtmartaled and condemned for your treaclery, when you were Matthias Zuber. Do you remember now?'
 "Laroque! Laroque!' said he, falling OH his knees. which refused longer to support him, which movement brought him beside the mannil,in winch Roger had made to receive the murderous blows.
 "Roger Laroque, after ten years!'
 All regarded this trembling wretch. He was but too clearly the assassin. Pale, hag- gard and frightened, he was an object of the most ahject terror. Yet Roger needed his admission that he was the criminal Luver- san saw his poignard on the floor, and ill a second he seized it and before Tristot could prevent he had plunged it into his own breast. Tho blood poured out of the horrible wound as he lay stretched upon the floor.

Thought 1t Was Witchcry.

Tho postoffice of a small settlement near the Rhine, Germany, had recently been sup piled with telegraph connection. An inex- perienced farm laborer stops before the win- dow, and, seeing the postmaster working the apparatus, says: "I never saw such sewing machine Gan look at it?' The postmaster asks him to step in and shows him all about It. The farmer looks and listens, half aston- ished, half incredulous, and finally, shaking his head, he said: "Look ye here-sewing machine, or tell tale machine, 1t is all witch cry either way."-Foreisn Letter

As Bad as Living in a Flat.

The wife of @ western congressman, quite we'll known in the house. has cozy little apartment, and in the dining room-she has three rooms ill all-is curious looking settle, or sofa, which has often attracted the atten- tion of her visitors. 1t looks like a large box covered with imitation Indian cloth. It has figures and plenty of gold thread running through it., while the top is tuft, and makes rather soft seat.
 She had some guests to tea the other even- ing, and one of them remained later than the others. The guest was seated on the sofa, slipping glass of wine, talking to the con- gressman and his wife, when the door sud- denly opened and an apparition appeared on the threshold It was the 6-year-old child of the member from the west The boy was arrayed in his night clothes, and carried over one arm Q rough bath towel, while under the other he had snugly tucked away largo sponge. In one hand he held cake of soap, and the other hand grasped the knob of the door. His mother gave an exclamation of surprise when she beheld him, but before she could say anything the enfant terrible shouted out: 1T say, MT. Jones'" thus ad- dressing the stranger, Chow much longer are you going to stay! have been waiting here for the last hour for you to go home, so can take my bath. Do you known you are sitting on the bath tub, and cannot get in until you go home."
 The scene that followed can be imagined. The gentleman soon after left. The boy, being in very convenient costume, had a sound spanking, while his mother lifted the top off the curious looking sofa and displayed inside the zinc lined bath tub, spigots and all complete. The guest gave the joke away, and now the member swears that next time he entertains he will hire a house if it takes all his salary. He has had enough of this mechanical furniture, and especially bath tubs hidden in sofas s-Baltimore American.

The Health Map.

The latest fad in England is the health map. It is simply diagram of the muscles of the body, with directions how to exercise those which one's particular habit of life neglects, The various parts of the body are divided into groups. Group Ave relates to sscold feet" The exercise prescribed would be of great benefit, should think, to those men who invariably leave Q card table when they have won a stake.-New York Star.

At Central Park.

A portly lady endeavored to skate on the ice at Central park, but she suddenly sat down, making noise like an iron safe drop ping from sixth story window.
 A gentleman ran to her assistance, and as he helped her to her feet he remarked:
 "I presume you are skating for the first time"
 "No, for the last time," replied the dis gusted female-Texas Siftings.

slim, but the debate itself was I'M
usually animated and interesting.
The proposition for debate was,
that "Trusts are detrimental to the
majority Of the people," Mr.. j. F.
Smith opened on the affirmative
side of the subject, and Mr.. Graen-
halgh led on the other side. Both
these gentlemen opened, and-after
several members had spoken, some
on one side and others on the other
closed with able and eloquent
arguments in defence of the two
views of the question. One new
member was admitted to the Club,
and another proposed, to be ballotted
on at the next meeting. At the
close the subject for next week s
debate was Woman
suffrage is desirable'-Mr. Turrill
