BE UNCONSCIOUS OF YOUR HANDS.
Or You Will Never be at Ease or Appear
at Advantage.

at Advantage.
My dear fellow" said society woman
OF great candor to an awkward, timid
young Harvard graduate whom she was to
present, "ycu have any amount of talent,
you have position, you have money, but
you will never be at your ease, never show
at your best until you know what to do
with your hands and feet. You must lose
them. forget them, be unconscious of
them"
This is easier said than done, and vet it
is possible by the persistent use of a few
simple exercises which bring relaxation
and freedom from stiffness, and others
which encourage hexibility and strength
of muscle. Cultivate the habit of letting
the arms fall ana place themselves as they

cupation. Learn to swing them, one at a
time, back and forth ike pendulum hang
ing from the shoulder, the elbow Joint
straight and easy, but not taut. Lift the
length OF the arm as a weight from the
shoulder very quietly and slowly as high
as II will go and bring it down in the same
manner. The muscles across the back are
wakened to wonderful degree Try this
movement singly and again with both
arms fifty or hundred times day. With
the arms hanging at full length, elevate
the shoulders slowly and turn them in
rotary motion toward the back
Daily practice of such simple movements
draws ones attention to the varied actions
and uses of joint and muscle the idea OF
using the arms from the shoulder is under
stood, and the habit of bringing different
sets OF muscles into play in alienation and
succession becomes second nature This is
the numbering of ones forces and training
them to do each its own part. 1t is kind
OF personal massage, the virtue of which
lies IN the minute search for weakness,
and lack of development in the
smallest muscle and the daily gentle
manipulation which strengthens it by &C.
ton. No woman wants the close knit
sinew and knotty, woody iber.that man
may seek to obtain in athletics. 1t is en-
tirely opposed 10 the Offices of life to which
nature calls her; she does want firmness

durance.-Ha2per's Bazaar.

TRIED AND TRUE.

AS the wind hauled fair for Gu ba,
fold after fold of canvass was loosen
ed and sheeted home, spreading
broad and full from truck to deck,
until the stately ship bore the ap-
pearance of some enormous white
cloud, sweeping over the bosom of
the ocean. About her curved prov.
roaring through the water, the
bright sunshine wove myriad rain
bows in the leaping spray, and light
ed up like silver sprangles, the gauzy
wings of hundreds of fying-fish
darting through the air, around the
vessel.
Aft, ut the helm, with her hus-
band, stood the Captains pretty
wife, Charlotte young woman of
twenty five-with brown eyes and
smooth, chestnut hair. The Cap
tain, a sturdy young fellow of thirty,
was teaching her to steer.
AT her playful request, he often
showed her how to thus guide the
craft, so that she was now becoming
quite skillful in the handling of the
wheel.
"Aye," he was saying, in reply to
remark she made. "You steer so
well, that, if all the Columbia's men
were sick, 1 could safely put you at
the helm.
"Are you not then fortunate in
having brought me to sea with your

love the sea, and am glad to find
myself SO useful"

only seen the bright side. Suffer
ing or danger would make you wish
you had stayed at home.
And, as he spoke, he looked down
at her white, slender throat and
frail, sylph-like form.
She became serious and thought
full.
ait is true, am not very strong"
she said, and then with a slight
shudder, she added: al hope we
will have no hardship or peril of
any kind. 1t is bad enough to have
to hold on to the side of ones
berth to keep from falling out, when
the ship is rolling, without meeting
with any worse dangef?n

of the yeas and nays that quorum
has not voted, he can count men,
bers present and not voting and
thus by his own act, outside of the
recorded vote, determine that
measure has passed, we considered
it our duty, as part of the repre-
sentatiycs of the people, to enter
our protests in every form available
to US under the circumstances. We
are not contending for the rights of
the minority to govern, as the sup
porters of the Speaker have endeav-
ored to make the country believe.
On the contrary, we are denying
the right of a minority to eject mem
bers from their seats, or to pass laws
for the government of the people
Under the constitution majority
of the members of the House con-
stitute
A QUORUM
To do business, and we are simply
insisting that less than a majority
shall not do business. We are con-
tending that the majority shalt take
the responsibility which properly
belongs to them, and shall come to
the House of Representatives and
vote if they desire to control its pro-
ceedings; and we are protesting
against their right to carry their
measures by counting us when we
do not vote.
The claim of the majority that
they have right to govern the
House without attending its sessions
and taking part in the conduct of
its business is too preposterous to
require refutation. 1t must be evi-
dent to any one who understands the
position taken by the Democratic
minority in the House that it can
not possibly result in any injury to
the country or in any injustice to
the majority. Its only effect will
be to compel the Republican major
ity, elected by the people, to assume
the responsibility imposed upon
them. On the other hand no one
can foresee the evils that may re-
suit from the inauguration of the
practice of counting votes not cast
in order to make a quorum. Under
it majority of the members-elect
to the House and Senate may pass
the most tyrannical laws for the op-
preston of the people, and the most
corrupt laws for the spoliation of
the public treasury. Whether so
intended or not, it's direct tendency
is to break down the barriers here
tofore existing for the protection OF
the citizen against the enoroach-
ment of power and the spoliation of
the treasury by destroying the limi-
tations which the constitution has
wisely imposed upon the legislative
department. Constitutions are
made to restrain majorities and pro-
tect minorities. a majority ruling
without limitations or restraints up
on its powers is pure depotism, and
is inconsistent with our system of
Government.

JEM SMITHS PIG.
Senator Sawyer Tells story wit
ra,,,ir,l. Nt..,..t a.. n.

Senator Sawyer Tells a Story with a
Tangible Moral to It..
Senator Philetus Sawyer is back in Wash
ington, and has been moved to tell one Of
his stories with moral to it to the CORE
spondent of the New York Tribune. A
well-known politician was ostensibly back
ing a friend for an Office which it was be-
lieved he wanted for himself. He was also
advising the friend to do certain indiscreet
things which would surely cause him to
lose the coveted appointment
''It was up in Wisconsin" said Senator
Sawyer, "when neighbors on the farms
used to lend one another a helping hand.
There was one fellow named Jem Smith,
who was pretty lazy-too lazy to provide
fodder for his own stock. He had one pig
that was beauty. Lord only knows how
he got it, but 1t was his. He used to borrow
feed from the neighbors by promising that
when butcheriug time came he would share
the animal with them. When butchering
time did come he found that he had prom
ised more pork than dozen animals would
provide. He went to a friend who was
sort of lawyer and asked him what to do
Now this man had wanted Jem Smiths pig
for a long time. You can fix it easy enough,
he said, Just go ahead with your butchering
and let all your neighbors see you at it.
Then you'll want to hang the carcass out
over night. In the morning you can tell the
people who want a share in it that some
body stole the pig during the night. They
only had share In that particular pig, and
if it is stolen they can't hold you for their
share.'
'Jem thought this was mighty shrewd
advice. He did just as he was told, invited
the nelghbors in to the butchering and left
the carcass hanging out over night. The
next day he wentto his advisers house with
an awful long face
"'It's gone,' he said; somebody took the
pig last night. Didn't even leave me q
shcep
" That's pretty well done, said his friend (;
did you tell that story to the neighbors as
straight as you have to meg
Butts gone roared Smith. Il tell you
somebody did steal 1t last night'
Keep itup that way replied the friend,
and they'll never suspect YOU
at didn't do any good for poor Smith to
explain that he was in dead earnest. The
man who had advised him to leave the car
cass out over night kept insisting that he
was acting first rate, and the neghbors
would never catch on. But as he left the
house he caught the odor of spareribs. He
came back for a parting word. BY the
)lankety-blank,' he said to his friend, Il
believe you've got my pork, nowp But he
couldn't prove it. l suspect said Sena-
or Sawyer, in concluding the story, ''that
l good many people who are advising other
)cople to do certain things are looking out
ior those other peoples pork"

A MAoICIAN'S STORY.
United States Minister Moran Proves
Himself n Xerituble Jonah.


Himself n Veritable Jonah.
Kellar, the magician, has pretty thor
,ughly covered the globe in his travels,
nd has come out safe and sound, says
writer in the New York Mail. He says he
lever met with but one accident in all his
vanderings, but that one experience was
lueer enough, he thinks, to make up for
he lack of many others. He tells the story
4 this way:
SIT was something like ten or twelve
1ears ago that left Lisbon, Portugal, one
inc summer morning on a steamer bound
or Southampton. The steamer was one of
he stanchest on the line, the weather was
particularly pleasant and every body was
iguring on a speedy and enjoyable run.
Before wo nad Deen OUT OF LISBON many
lours found that Benjamin Moran, the
United States Minister to Portugal, was a
passenger on the steamer Mr.. Moran in
reduced himself to me, and on the
strength of our both being Americans and
the company of lot of Portuguese and
foreigners we speedily struck up an ac-
luainlance. After chatting on various
subjects and exchanging experiences, we
ell to incidentally talking about the pros
,ective voyage. l said something about
he pleasant trip expected, but Moran
aughingly checked me with the
words: MIR. Kellar, we are doomed to
meet with an accident Though he said it
With smile, there was trace of serious
less in his manner, and asked him what
e meant. He replied that he had never
made single trip, by rail or water, that he
ould remember without meeting with some
Unexpected delay or accident. Some of the
machinery in the locomotive had broken
iown, or the train had been derailed, or
,omebody had been run over, or the ships
shaft had broken, or the vessel had been
wrecked. Il am a veritable JONAH he
ldded, with laugh, 'and just as sure as
you and are talking here on this deck, this
ship will meet with an accident and my rec
prd will stand unbroken.' l tried to laugh
lway this superstition, but he wouldn't
lave it, and persisted in his alarming
lrophesy. You may not believe what tell
you, but, on my honor, the sky clouded up
within three hours after my conversation
with Mr.. Moran, a fog spread over the wa
err and early in the evening the steamer
an her nose on ledge of rocks and hung
last. She hung there with her bow in the
air just long enough for the passengers to

lurch backwards she ran off the rocks
and sank in more than one hundred fathoms

night on the rocks, but the next m jrning

Dakota and its Climat g.
From the Prairie ITarmc,


The papers have lately had much to
say about Dakota, its people. politics
and its drouthy climate. Well, the
people of North Dakota have repudiat-
ed the legislative lottery-seheme. and it
is to be hoped they will ~repudiatc the
solons who attempted to foist this MIA
nous scheme upon the honest people of
that State.
In North Dakota rams have been
propitious and whcat-seeding is going
forward nicely. In South Dakota the
same condition exists as TO moisture.
and it is believed that seed enough will
be forthcoming to supply the necessit-
les of the people where drouth prevailed
last year.
Ii is no unusual thing in the settle.
ment of a new region of country to cry
drouih. 'Drouthy Kansas was for
years the derisive exclamation against
this now great grain and stock-feeding
State. Yet its people kept on increns-
ing. Wheat. corn and other agricnl-
tural products. including vast herds Of

sas stands today as one of the important
States of the great West. Such will
probably lie the result in respect to the
twin Dakotas.
Drouths will come and go. as they do
in every region Of county. but it is 4 true
