A Cure for STOPPED Shoulders.

How often one hears the remark,
says the New York Mail and Elk
press, "What fine, big fellow Mr..
So and so would be if he didn't
stoop?" And still such misfortune
can easily be cured. The STOPPING
figure and hating gait, accompa-
MED by the unavoidable weakness
Of the lungs, can be attended to
aud finally cured by the very sim
pile and easily performed exercise
of raising ones self upon the toes
leisurly in a perfect perpendicular
several times daily. To take this
exercise properly one must take a
perfect position, with the heels to-
gether and the toes at an angle Of
about forty-five degrees. Then
drop the arms litelessly by the side,
animating and raising the chest
muscularly to its full capacity; the
chin should be well drawn in and
the crown of the head feeling as If
attached to string suspended from
the ceiling above. Slowly raise up
on the balls of both feet to the
greatest possible hight, thereby ex-
ercising all the muscles of the legs
and body; this done, then re-assuln.
ing the standing position without
saving the body backward out OF
the perfect line. Repeat this exer-
else first on one foot then on the
other. The result will be q sur
prise to many to know what a won
derful stra,ghtening-out power this
exercise has upon round or stopped
shoulders, and it will soon be sppa-
rent that the lungs will begin to
show expansive development.

we all knew that we were, SO to speak, on
the threshold of world in the process Of
formation and over which countless CEN
turtles nlust pass before it will lie ready to
receive the FIRST germs Of life, animal Or

plating was once the aspect of this entire
globe, vast frozen solitude, waiting the
SUI S WARM caresses to awaken it from o
long. cold slumher. We crossed abysses
by bridges that were almost as trans
parent as glass, jumped crevasses, wan
dered among great blocks that looked
like tho fallen fragments of some enor-
nous ice palace. We searched for plants
and insects. Wherever little spot had
been laid bare by the heat Of the sun
sort of vegetation showed itself. In the
midst CT glacial Enow we plucked flowers
that were almost colorless, and which,
the better to resist cold blasts, were
growing in tufts close together. The
rugged tanks of all the rocky tables
were adorned with velvet like lichens and
moses. Delicate srborescent plants over
hung icy CULTS; we found spiders. and
couple of butterflies with carmine wings

And the fragrance Of biosson,ing apple trees
Is waited sweet on the evening breeze.

For lovers are lovers the wide world DER
And having each other. want nothing more,
And time flies by on Its whirring wing.
While the apple trees bloom and the robins sing;
And careless they ramble hand In hand,
Like innocent beings Of fairy land
An! love Is charm whose bewitching spen
Gilds every spot where its votaries dwell
But summer stripped Of its bloom will be-
And birds be gone from the apple tres;
The snow will cover the orchard grass
To a summer sky will swallows pass;
The winter will come with its ice end Snow,
The years will come and tbs years will go;
Through all the chances and change they bring
