COLUMBUS, O., June 27.-In answer 10
the question "What do you think of the
Republican nominations Judge Thur
mon said last night: II consider 1t
very strong ticket. have no personal
acquaintance with General Harrison"
and thought that Senator Shermsn's
nomination would have been the strong.
est one, bnt under the circumstances the
ticket as named is probably as strong
one as could have been nominated by the
convention. However. don't believe
1t is stronger than its party, aud therefore
do not see how it can be elected. New
York, Indiana and New Jersey are gen.
orally Democratic, and the ticket named
at Chicago cannot carry any OF these
States. have no fears Of the result In

The Value of Hip Pockets.

The general practitioner is fre- 3uently asked by anxious parents: "What shall do for my boy; he is getting so awfully stoop-shouldered, that 1 am afraid he will get con sumption; I will have to get him a brace. What kind would you recom- mend ?"
 It requires no extended argument to prove the importance of q we'll expanded chest. Apart from the incalculable benefits to health, an erect carriage and graceful move ments attract the attention of the most humble. It causes them to correct as far as they are able, in iheir children. any tendency to sTkward, stopping, or ungainly positions. Apart from the cost and inconvenience of expensive instru- ments, but few meet the require ments. In many cases better results may be obtained by attending to q few simple details, within ,he reach of every one, ill the ordinary cloth- ing.
 The boys pockets are to him q 'Oi hhHoitait pstit Ol HIS uresS, and the natural tendency is to keep his hands in them. When not actively engaged, there they are usually found, and if the pockets are properly placed they will in- advertently cause him to throw back the shoulders, and more or less expand the chest. For instance, the jacket or overcoat should have what is called breast pockets; the opening should be high and as far back as possible, parallel with and in the line of the body, instead of low down and traverse as usually found in the ordinary jacket or over coat.
 The pants should have what are called "hip pockets" and no other. It will then be apparent that, whilst the hands are in the pockets. bet ter, if not a perfect position will be assumed, and the boy spared the many admonitions to "keep your hands out of your pockets" and the accompanying box on the ears.- Medical and Surgical Reporter.

The LandIord's Temptation.

Artemas Felt kept hotel at Green wood. James Lebroke was neigh bor whose pig ran loose and annoyed Felt. One day Felt said to Lebroke {: "Thereis stray pig under my stable, and if you'll kill him, I'll give you 8 pint of rum." Lebroke agreed to the proposition. Felt drove the pig out, and Lebrokc hit him a big whack on the nose that laid him stiff, as he emerged. Ten he discovered that he had killed his own pig. Felt was pretty shrewd. Ii he had slaughtered the porker himself, 'twould have cost him a great deal more than pint of rum.-lLewiston Journal.
