To Keep Q Trim Figure.

Women who wish to preserve the slimness
and contour Of their figure must begin by
learning to stand well. That is explained to
mean the throwing forward and upward Of
the chest, the aattening Of the back, with the
shoulder blades held in their proper places,
and tho definite curving in the small Of the
back, thus throwing the whole weight of the
body upon the hipa No other women hold
themselves so well as the aristocratic English
women. Much Of their beauty lies In their
proud carriage, the delicate erectness Of
their figures and the fine poise Of their heads
The same aristocratic carriage Is within the
reach Of any American girl who takes the
pains to have it; 1t Is only the question of a
few years of eternal vigilance, never relaxing
her watchfulness over herself, and, sitting or
standing, always preserving her erectness and
pose, the result being that at the end Of that
time 1t has become second nature to her and
she never afterward loses it. This, in great
measure, preserves the figure because 1t keeps
the muscles firm and well strung and pre-
vents the sinking down Of the flesh around
the waist and hips, SO common in women over
~, and which Is perfectly easy to escape.
Another thing to avoid is a bad habit Of 60.
ing up stairs, which most women do, bent for
ward, with the chest contracted, which, a.
we'll as an indolent, slouchy manner Of walk

Losing Their Heads.

wonder why it is that little prominence
causes some men to lose their heads and to
give themselves airs which only disgust those
with whom they are brought into contact. 1t

He was rather nicely caught, however, the
other day. A friend of mine called on him

deal of conversation my friend finally said;
"Well, Mr.. -, l was sent here by,Secretary

are provided for launching torpedoes--
two IN the bow, firing straight ahead;

a good batter and base runner and AN excel

one Years Ago-Its Progress.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Sept. l2.-Spiritualism, as
It is commonly called, which. ,kas found
such hosts of believers throughput civil.
ization, is generally supposed TO have
originated In the United States about
forty -one years ago. 1t is rare that any
doctrine or philosophy has gained so
many and 30 devoted adherents in so
short time. Spiritualism has made
converts In all conditions Of society
and in every part Of the world. But,
strictly speaking, the philosophy is,
as its advocates claim, very old,
older than history. What is recent
about it is the spirit rapping phe-
nomena, which began in lS4s in the fam
lily Of John u. Fox, at the little village
OF Hydesville, Wayne county, n. Y.
Fox and his wife and their daughters
Kate and Margaret, 8 and IL years Of
sgs, were startled by strange rappings
In different parts of their house, partic-
ularly at night. In short time these
rappings, though still unaccountable,
were made ineligible. They assumed
TO come from spirits; they told the age
Of the Fox children; they answered
questions negatively By one rap, atfirma-
lively by two. They disclosed, it is said,
that the remains Of a murdered man
were buried in the cellar Of the Fox res
idence, and, search being made, a skel-
eton was found In the identical spot
indicated. The name Of the victim was
raped out, and inquiry revealed that,
ave years before, such a person had WIS.,
tied the house, and never been seen OF
heard Of afterward.
The Fox family went to Rochester,
where the raps occurred at the command
Of Kate and Margaret only, and clair
voyance, the moving Of chairs, tables
and other heavy pieces Of furniture, with
other phenomena. were manifested with
out visible agency. These drew atten'
sion. and forty years ago in the autumn
of l64S the Fox sisters appeared In a pub
lic hall; the phenomena were submitted
~ many tests, but could be traced TO nc
human source. Public curiosity and in
tsrsss were gradually aroused. and wher
the girls gave an exhibition Of theil

cial batting averages, having d record cf
40. He was given his base on balls many
times, however, In 1887, and that fattened
his batting averages both in the Southern
league and National league.
The Philadelphia club having more pitcber
than IL could use and having surplus OF
fielders, agreed 10 sell his release 10 the Pitts
burg club, with which in 1883 le took part In
scventy.thrce championship games. In
thirty seven games he guarded first base
and In thirty -four he played In the outheld,
making a fine record in each As a first
baseman his average was .96s, and rs an out
fielder it was .9i3. He has shown up well
for the Pittsburg club thus far this season
both at the bat and in the field. As that
club, however, has surplus Of flelders, he
does not get a chance TO play regularly, and
therefore does not have the opportunity to
display his ability as either a batter or
fielder. lie has given uppitching altogether.
