CATTLE DYING IN HIGHLANp.-The Re
corder says
Mr.. Salisbury Newman, of Crsbbottom,
has lost by disease of some kind, ten cattle
inside of two weeks. Three are yearlings,
and the balance two-year-olds. This heavy
loss is something remarkable, and shows
that there certainly is some contagious dis
ease among the cattle. We suggest an
autopsy by physician.
Since the above one more has been add
ed to the death roll, and several more on

many chances for arms. If girl is round
limbed it is getting almost impossible for
her to look at the pictures of the Pompeian
pipe players and the Greek girls playing
the tubar without going straightway to
join ladies' orchestra. Mrs. Ella Dietz
Clymer owes much of her reputation as
the beautiful" president of Sorosis to her
use of her arms. She never forces them.
II she disposes herself statuesquely against
the high back of her carved chair she Is
content with so much of picturesqueness
as is compatible with the calm poise of a
good presiding officer. If occasion arises
for her to throw an active expression into
her posture she gets just the permissible
effect, no more, no less, out of her graceful
arms. But no woman off the stage has the
actress opportunity.-New York Letter.

they have the opportunity of doing so.
Some fish are much more affected than
others by cold. Swanson mentions an in

been found dead in pond after the break
up of frost, and as a proof of vitality in
other fish he states that in northern lati
tudes eels and perch have retained their
vitality when frozen into solid blocks Of

the fact to remove them from one locality

the poisonous principle causes death by

The Waist Exercise,

II a portion of the body be pinched So
verely 1t will, after relaxation, become red
from the blood which rushes to the spot.
This is a physiological law throughout the
body; and the blood will not properly cir
culate through the stomach and liver with
out this alternate pressure and relaxation,
and, moreover, if the blood does not circu-
late, the liver will not efficiently secret0
bile, nor the stomach gastric juice; hence
indigestion is sure to ensue. In other
words, for health the stomach and liver
must be literally churned with every
breath from birth to death. The aim Of
