STANDING WELL.

Women who wish to preserve the
slimness and contour of their figure
must begin by learning to stand
we'll, so it is declared by that COM
petent authority, Dress" That is
explained to mean the throwing
forward and upward of the chest,
the fattening of the back, with the
shoulder blades held in their proper
places, and the definite curving in
of the small of the back, thus throw
ing the whole weight of the body
upon the hips. No other women
hold themselves so well as the aris
tocratic English women. Much OF
their beauty lies in their proud car
riage, 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 ;
it is only the question of few years
of eternal vigilance, never relaxing
her watchfulness over herself, and
sitting OF standing, always preserv-
ing her erectness and poise, the re-
suit being that at the end of that
time it has become second nature
to her and she never afterward loses
it. This, in a great measure, pre-
serves the figure, because it keeps
the muscles firm and we'll strung,
and prevents the sinking down of
the flesh around the waist and hips,
so common in women over thirty
and which it is perfectly easy to
escape. Another thing to avoid is
a bad habit of going up stairs,
which most women do, bent for
ward, with the chest contracted,
which, as we'll as an indolent, slou-
chy manner of walking, is injurious
to the heart and lungs.

Hot Water and Dyspepsia.

The Boston Herald, in a long and
elaborate editorial, recommends the
drinking of hot water in cases of
dyspepsia. This is part of what it
says: Hot water acts in several
ways. When taken into the stom-
ach it not only stimulates it and
quickens its action, but it tends
as do all hot applications-to allay
irritation. Beside that it acts me
chanically, and washes out that Or
gan, hurrying its contents down
into the intestines, when without it
the same would be retained longer
than there is any need Of Let a
person who, four or five hours after
heavy meal, still feels uncomfort-
able, sip cup of very hot water
and it will bring him great relief,
stimulating the stomach and wash
ing out of it much of it's contents
which would have been sent on into
the intestines had not that organ
been fatigued by over-work.

A Law Abider.

II don't want to break the law :
he said, as he stood in thepresence
of Capt. Starkweather at police
headquarters the other day.
"You are very kind" replied the
captain. "What is your caseW >.
my wife has skipped"
Indeed"
"Yes, skipped out two days ago.
AS l said, l don't want to break the
law. What is the customary rule
in such cases?"
"Let her skip"
II am not expected to pursue her
and shoot somebody"
"No."
Thanks. She has skipped. Let
her skip. If she returns | overlook
and forgive. If she does not I mar

How to Measure Water.

To measure water roughly in an
open stream, take from four to
twelve different points in a straight
line across the stream, and measure
the depth of each of these points,
and adding them together divide by
the number of measurements taken.
This quotieDt will give you the av-
erage depth and should be measured
in feet. Multiply the average depth
in feet by the width in feet, and this
will give you the square feet of cross
section Of the stream. Multiply
this by the velocity of the stream
in feet per minute, and you will
have the cubic feet per minute Of
the stream. The velocity of the
stream can be found by laying off
one hundred feet on the bank, and
then throwing a board into the
stream at the middle, note the time
passing over the one hundred feet
and dividing the one hundred feet
by the time and multiplying by six
ty gives the velocity in feet per min
ute at the surface. The velocity of
the center is only SO per cent Of
that at the surface, and so only SO
per cent should be calculated. For
example, suppose the float passes
100 feet in ten seconds, that divided
by ten and multiplied by sixty (sec-
onds in minute) gives six hun
dred feet per minute rs the velocity,
and 50 per cent of this four hundred
and ninety weight feet per minute as
the velocity of the stream at the
center, and the area of the cross Sec
ton multiplied by this will give you
the number of cubic feet per minute
in the stream. This, of course, is
only rough way of calculating,
but it is often used, and is good
and simple way to obtain data to
select a wheel by.-Textile Record.

Judge the Future.

The eloquent Patrick Henry said
."We can only judge the future by
the past
Look at the past-When Egypt
went dow 8 per cent of her popula-
ton owned 81 percent of her wealth.
The people were starved to death.
When Babylon went down 2 per
cent of the population owned all
the wealth. The people were starved
to death.
When Persia went down l pei
cent of the population owned the
land.
When Rome went down 1900
men owned all the known world.
For the last twenty years the
United States has rapidly followed
in the steps of these old nations.
Here are the figures:
In 1850 capitalists owned 373
per cent of the nations wealth.
In 1870 they owned So per cent.

B1GAMous BY MISTAKE.

An eastern paper has some very
sensible criticism in regard to what
the Atlanta Constitution calls q
"thoughtless and romantic indis-
cretion," when it was really the
crime of bigamy committed by
young woman. This young person,
Florence Little by name, who is OF
legal age and perfectly sane, mar
ried two men within week, one to
whom she had been engaged for
years, and the other more recent
and more wealthy rival. She con
sented to marry Dr.. Atkinson, but
the evening previous went driving
with the other one, a Mr.. Mitz, ana
married him at wayside parson-
age. She then deliberately married
DR.. Atkinson, which led No. to
expose the secret ceremony and the
doctor to send her home.
After reciting the above story
the paper says: "Now an enormous
lot of sympathy is being solicited
because she is young, beautiful, and
the daughter of important people,
and is mentioned as educated and
refined No. / may be the means
Of sending her to the penitentiary
and public sympathy is aroused be-
cause she did not know the law.
Not knowing the law is the least
shocking thing in connection with
the case. That woman neither
half-witted nor wholly vicious
should do such thing, irrespective
of law, is incredible. The blunted
moral sense, lack of honesty. of af-
fection, of delicacy, are more than
lack of legal lore. In such trans.
action there is displayed weak
ness of character, and pettiness OF
ambition and greed that proves this
girl, despite of beauty, position and
education, no more deserving OF
sympathy than frowzy ,over-dressed,
loud voiced woman of another class
more frequently given to such
crimes"

The Sioux Indians are better rep

How to Purity . Roam.

The best way to purify a room,
says a writer in the Boston Traveller.
is to set a pitcher of water in it, and
in a few hours the water will have
absorbed nearly all the respired
gases in the apartment, rendering
the air pure, but making the water
utterly unfit to drink. The colder
the water the greater its capacity
to contain these gases. At the or
binary temperature pail of water
will absorb a pint OF carbonic acid
gas and several pints of ammonia.
Tie capacity is nearly doubled by
reducing the water to the tempera-
ture of Ice. Never drink water that
has been allowed to stand in q sleep

Gloves Made Of Human Skin.

"Gloves which are sold as kid are
often made of human skin," said
DR.. Mark L. Nardyz, the Greek ply

the physician, sis soft and pliable,
and may be used in the making OF
gloves. When people buy gloves
they never stop to question about
the material of which they are made.
The shop-ke+per himself may be in
ignorance, and the purchaser has
The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1889-08-03

no means of ascertaining whether
the material is human skin or not.
The fact is the tanning of human
skin is extensively carried on in
France and Switzerland. The pro-
duct is manufactured into gloves,
and these are imported into this
country. Thus, you see, person
might be wearing part of a distant
relatives body and not know it. =

A Great Factor.

1t is said that champagne eorks
cost 4 cents each. A good cork is
a great factor in the champagne in
dustry. Three years ago one of the
biggest champagne houses in France
lost nearly Is per cent of its expor-
tation to America that year because
the corks used were Of poor quality.
Since then they have purchased
none but the best Of corks. The
quality of a cork is told by its close
grain and it's marvellous expansion
after it is withdrawn from the bottle.

it at 7 100000 bales, an increase of

THE WINTER DAIRY.
Nothing Stands In tho Way OF Its Sue
cess HUT silly Prejudice.

Nothing Stands In tho Way Of Its Suc-
cess Hut silly Prejudice.
Prof Henry regards winter dairy
ing an advanced degre, Of the business.
II the farmer can properly feed and
take care Of his stock it should be very
profitable; besides it leaves the cows
dry in midsummer when labor is
mostly needed in harvest" What a
world of truth is contained In these
few lines and how foolish it is for the
dairyman to keep on making butter in
summer when the markets are low, the
conditions for butter-making the most
trying. and all the help OF the farm
needed in the fields instead of turning
his attention to making tho butter in
winter. when there is little else to do
and devote tie summer to getting to-
gether the food for tho coming winter.
OF course. he must have tho necessary
conveniences for winter dairying, which
really means that he must make his
cows comfortable just as he should
do, no matter at what season OF
the year he makes the butter. Com
Portable stables simply means sensi-
bic farming and nothing more. and the
absence of such stables on the farm Is
no excuse for not running winter
dairy. but simply means that the farmer
has not ambition enough to make even
a passably good dairyman Of himself.
II this thing Of winter dairying was
something new and in its experimental
stage there might be some excuse for
holding back to see II there was not
some unexplained disadvantage In it,
but now that men are succeeding in 1t
everywhere amid the cold rains and
mud OF the South as well as in the dry
cold and deep shows Of the north. there
is absolutely no excuse for any one to
hold back. The consumers have had
q taste OF fresh butter in winter on
their hot buckwheat cakes. and they no
longer consent to eating spring-made
butter packed in firkins, but absolutely
demand the fresh article, and SO long
as they are willing to pay an extra
price for it. why should not the dairy
man come forward and supply the arti-
Gle in any quantity that may be needed.
Nothing stands in the way but an old
prejudice that insists upon doing a
thing after the old instead Of the NEW
way.-American Dairyman.
