How to Correct Round Shoulders.

Since very many people have allowed
themselves to acquire this deformity,
chiefly through bad sitting positions,
the following brief and excellent gym
nastics, designed to strengthen the
shoulder blade muscles, will be appre-
ciated: Here is very excellent means
of strengthening the shoulder
muscles: Raise the hands to the front
of the chest, touching two or three
inches below the chin; palms joined;
shoulders high; bend the arms at the
elbow to right angle, turning the
forearm SO that the palms are facing,
keeping the elbows at the height of the
shoulder, and the arms from the elbow
to the shoulder in line with each other.
Now rotate the arms so that the fore
arm will be raised from horizontal to
a vertical position. Keep the head erect
and the chin well drawn in during the
exercise, repeating the rotation from
four to twelve times. Good Health.

Tho little spot Of green down by the
New York p~ostofice is again the haven
Of the weary tramp. Hundreds Of pro
fessional beats, the lazy, the good for
nothing, the unfortunate sit There day

If one Of them mods, a policeman
comes along, taps him on the chin with
a stick and orders him TO wake mp"
II he does not waken like lightning, the
copper says very distinctly that the
tramp shall ''move on" He usually
moves, too, for the rules are very strictly
enforced.
A pathetic phase Of the subject is seen
as soon as night sets in-that is, the later
hours, after tine noise and hustle of the
day is ended and silence reigns about
the haunts of trade.
There is n little fountain in the mid
die Of the place. The tramps who sit in
the little park at night always take
seats as near as possible to the fountain.
II is a pathetic sight-these old, battered
specimens around the fountain. Tho
far oft seats are deserted, but those
about the fountain are filed to over
flowing.
There is something in the splash Of

swordhshing.

Swordfshing is at once exciting,
perilous and remunerative. Last year
swordtish sold as high as eleven cents a
pound in this port, and a single fish will
often weigh 800 or even 1000 pounds.
The method Of getting the fish affords
m opportunity for great sport. Like
the shark, the swordfsh can be seen for
a considerable distance by his black fin,
which protrudes above the surface Of
the water as he swims. But unlike the
shark, the swordfsh moves steadily
with the upper tip Of his tail also out Of
the water, as rigid and steady rs the fin
itself. Swordfsh also generally go in
shoals.
The swordfsh is captured by means Of
a long spear or harpoon. To the shank
Of this spear is attached a stout hne
about 600 feet long, and to the end Of
the line is made fast n stout, water tight
cask. Each harpoon is good for one
swordfsh, and a schooner usually carries
a considerable number Of them.-Port-

The Attorners Are Anrrr.

He was an understood, meek looking
man, and was brought up before the
United States commissioners at Atoka,
l. T., charged with horse stealing. He
had several horses, but no money, and
two Of the brightest Of Atoka's lawyers
offered to help him out of his trolble,
partly from sympathy. The case
against him looked strong, but his meek
appearance seemed to offset the evidence
and he was acquitted.
He gave to each of the lawyers one Of
his ponies as pay for their services. The
lawyers put them out to pasture. The
same night the little man stole back the
horses and skipped from the vicinity.
The lawyers who proved he couldn't
steal a horse are now after him with a
warrant, and the citizens want to sub.
scribe a medal to go with the warrant.

The department Of Greek and Roman
antiquities at the British Museum has
lately acquired a curious relic of Roman
civic life, this being a circus placard
found at Porto Portese (Lanuvium). It
is a thin oblong slab Of stone about
three feet long, the upper corners Of
which are pierced with holes for cords
to pass through, so that it might be
hung outside the theater and warn those
who came late that there was no room
for them within the building. This APP

From the same city the department has
obtained two acceptable life size marble
busts, the one being a portrait bust of
Titus, interesting because of its intense
character and verisimilitude and the
Comparative rareness of such busts of

a Roman gentleman, as yet, though full

are the gift OF Lord Savile, and were

Hundreds of the Christian Endeavor
maidens visited Wall street while their
convention was being held. They ap-
peaIed there in a b%ewildering variety Of
colors-in pink, lavender, green, blue,
scarlet and white. They crowded into
the galleries Of the exchanges, peered
into the Railways of the big Office build
ings and wandered through Trinity
ohurchyard. OF course not one of them
missed the qualification Of standing on
the slab of brownstone which lies in
the pedestal Of the Washington statue
in front of the subtreasury building.
This slab is supposed 10 be the identical
piece Of stone upon which George Wash
ington stood when he first took the oath
Of Office as president Of the United
States.
1t is one Of the "sights" Of Wall street,
and no woman ever leaves it without
touching it with her foot, 80 that she
may DO able to say that she has stood
where Washington once stood. The
venerable little man who sells newspa-

watch Of that brown slab ever since the
statue was erected, and he Is willing to
make am afidavit that not one woman
out Of a hundred who visits the spotg goes
away without standing on the historic
stone.-New York Times.

A snb.tltnts for Kisslnr.

To some members Of the community
Il may be a shock to learn that kissing
is doomed. Fashion, in the shape Of
the New York woman, has decided that
it is high time to abolish the custom
among women, and it is only a matter
of time before the humblest and the
most gushing among them must yield.
For some time past there has been a
lack of the indiscriminate embracing in
public for which we were nee criti-
cised, but now the fin de steele woman
is carrying the reform into her home.
Even in solitude she does not kiss her
friend.
There is, however, a very pretty sub
stitute for the tabooed embrace. Mrs.
Manhattan now gives Miss Murray Hill
a gentle tap ON the shoulder and muir
murs, Consider yourself kissedr and
Miss Murray Hill then trips thankfully
away with the sentiment in her heart,

her, with her vest and bangs in good
order and in the right place.-New

Fish cnnrht His Toe.

A most singular accident befell A. M.
Moore on the Fourth of July at Eagle
lake, 1. T. Mr., Moore, with a party
of several others, went into camp at
the lake on the evening of the 3D.. In
the morning Moore, with his fishing
pole, waded out to a log on the lake,
where he sat down. He was b~arefooted.
While moving his left foot to and fro in
the water a large fish, supposed to be o
black bass, made a sudden lunge and
grabbed the toe in its mouth, sinking
the teeth into the flesh to the bone.
Moore rolled from the log into the
water, which was waist deep. He waded
to the shore, the bass still clinging to the
toe. In shallow water Moore gathered
the fish and pried open the mouth, the
fish escaping into the lake. The toe is
so badly lacerated that Moore is unable
to walk and the member will probably
have to be amputated.-St Louis Globe,
