Have You Ever Noticed 1t?

A carpenters right shoulder is almosU
invariably higher han his left. in conse-
quence of having to use his right arm all
the time in planning and hammering.
With every shaving the shoulder rises
with a jerk, and it finally becomes nat
ural to him to hold himself in that way.
The right arm of q blacksmith, for the
same reason, is almost hypertrophied,
while the left arm, from disuse, becomes
atrophied.
A shoemaker is almost always round
.shouldered from continually bending
over the last between his knees as he
sews and hammers.
The head of a bricklayer's laborer is
held aloft with a naughty, self-reliant
air, from his habit Of carrying a bod on
his shoulder and looking above him as
he climbs up the scaffolding.
All good orators have most abnor-
mally wide mouths. This is the direct
consequence of their habit of using So
norous words and speaking with deliber-
alton and correct pronunciation. If one
practices this before the glass one can see
that the muscles in the cheeks are
stretched more than ordinarily and
the mouth is extended a great
deal more than in every day
conversation. Then, too, the
nature has something to do with it.. A
large mouth, like a prominent nose, is a
sign Of power, But all men with big
mouths are not orators. Thank heaven
for that,
Cowboys and cavalrymen are usually
bowlegged. But all bowlegged people
are not cowboys-for which they should
be grateful.-Detroit Free Press.

A Glass of Cold Water.

In the following manner j. B. Cough
recited the virtues of mans natural
beverage: Where is the liquor which
God the eternal brews for all his child
rem? Not in the simmering still, over
smoky fires choked with poisonous
gases, and surrounded with the stencil
of sickening OdOrs and rank corrup-
tions, doth your Father in heaven pre-
pare the precious essence of life, the
pure cold water. But in the green
glade and CLASSY dell, where the red
deer wanders and the child loves to
play; there God brewS it. And down,
low down, in the lowest valleys, where
the fountains murmur and the rilIs
sing; and high upon the tall mountain
tops. where the naked granite glitters
like gold in the sun; where the storm
cloud brOods and the thunder storms
crash and away far out upon the wide
wild sea, where the hurricane howls
music, and the big waves roar: the
chorus sweeping the march of God:
there he brews it-that beverage of
life and health giving water. And
everywhere it is a thing of beauty,
cleaning in the dew drop; singing in
the summer rain; shining in the ice
gem, till the leaves seem to turn to
living jewels: spreading a golden veil
over the setting sun; or a white gauze
around the midnight moon.
Sporting in the cataract; sleeping in
the glacier; dancing in the hail-shOw-
err; folding its bright snow curtains
softly about the wintry world: and
waving the many-colored iris, that
seraph's zone of the sky, whose warp
is the rain-drop of earth, whose woof
is the sunbeam of heaven; all checker
ed over with celestial flowers by the
mystic hand of refraction.
Still always it is beautiful, that life
giving water; no poison bubbles on its
brink; its foam brings not madness and
murder; no blood stains its LIQUID
glass; pale widows and STARVING
orphans weep no burning tears in its
depth, no drunken, shrieking ghost
from the grave curses it in the words
of eternal despair; speak on. nv
