WALK ERECT.

While talking with one of our most
prominent physicians the other even
ing on the subject of cultivating an
erect carriage, etc, the doctor said
do you know that an erect carriage
is very essential to good health? A
body bent forward by the shoulder
and mid spine causes compression of
the vital organs. The true place at
which bend the body is in the hips
So many people are ignorant of this
and instead of keeping the head erect
and the shoulders well back, and
bending forward, when necessary,
from the hips, round their shoulders,
crook their spines and crane their
head and neck forward in a most I'M
calmly manner, continuing this until
by force of habit, the position be-
comes nature.
children should be taught to main
tain an erect carriage. Teachers
should see that their pupils sit straight
in their seats. So many persons when
they go to- bed, must lie in dog
knot and while they know that
from one-third to one-half of their
time is spent in slumber, do not seem
to realize that they are reforming
themselves by lying in crooked po-

CHOIR SINGING.

No intelligent, conscientious singer
will slight either consonants or vowels
or effect excessive tremolo, or mispro-
ncunce word in singing simply for
affect. Perfect enunciation in singing
is an art, and must be cultivated. =
The words are not merely distinct.
but there is roundness and purity Of
vowel sounI and delicacy of finish
that one does not find in the singer
who lacks culture. And who does not
use mind, heart and soul in singing is
certainly out of place in the church,
The most thoroughly artistic singing
is that which sounds the most natural
and easy. Many persons are inclined
to think that the one who makes the
most effort, and strains after an effect,
and mutilates the words, must, of
course, be the greater artist. 1t is on
ly fair to say that most organists
are interested in having the words
distinctly and intelligently sung, and
singers for the most part do as well as
they know; but very few have any
knowledge of the rules that govern
perfect enunciation in singing.

1t sometimes appears when a fluent
ly-speaking witness is in the box, that
there is little reverence for the learned
judge of the courtroom. Few Eng
Iishmen had more accurate and ex-
tended knowledge of horses than
Baron Martin, who, when riding the
circuit, always visited all the stables
in the neighborhood of the town. At
one time he was trying a case in York
when an important point in the evil
dence happened to be the somewhat
obscure disease of a horse.
Now" said the examining counsel
to an old man in the witness box, tell
my lord and the gentlemen of the jury
the name of the disease from which
this horse is suffering"
The witness gave knowing wink,
and jerked his thumb in the direction
of the bench.

Il BUNDLE OF OLD SERMONS

The ink is brown, the paper soiled,
How long ago the writer toiled
Upon these pages:
And as we read their old world lore,
Their quaint allusions-they restore
The past to us: We live once more
In bygone days.
We hear as if by magic charm
Once more the Tate and Brady psalm,
Which pleased so vastly.
The church and rustic flock grow plain,
The high oak pews, the latticed pane
We hear the sermon preached again
From text to "lastly."
No novel views of ancient sense,
No daring flights of eloquence
Were here embodied.
The placid hearers felt no thrill,
But sat in sleepy comfort still,
While JacN demurely glanced at Jill
And parents nodded.
Indeed, none listened much, fear,
To all these periods, painting clear
The saint and sinner,
Until at length there came the close
To stir the drowsy from repose,
And priest and people both arose
And went to dinner.
All, sermons of the long ago,
Yours was another age, we know;
And now our preachers,
Each furnished with his special plan
To benefit bewildered man,
Denounce as loudly as they can
Their rival teachers.
Yet, as your pages we retrace
In this our age of cultured grace,
The question fingers:
If all of us are happier men
Than those who filled our places when
Your sage designer took the pen
Between his fingers?

CUSTOMS As TO DINING.

The Spaniard, however courteous
lie may be, never invites a guest to
dinner; in Italy, too, the privacy of
the family is seldom invaded at the
dinner hour; the Frenchman is de
lighted to entertain, but prefers to do
it at his club, while the Englishman
is never SO genial as when seated at
his own table with company surround
ing him.

TIE PASTORS WIFE.

This is no reason for expecting a
pastors wife to be also a pastor
True, good wife will help her hus-
band so far as she can, whatever may
be his occupation. Husband and wife
ought to help each other. But a pas
tors wife is under no more obligations
to the Church that any other woman
in the Church of similar ability and
opportunities. She is expected TO see
to home duties. She must usually
keep her house in better order than
others, or people will make remarks
about her untidiness. Since she has
home work to attend to she cannot do
much pastoral work without shorten
ing her life. 70 place her at the head
of every society and enterprise is both
unwise and wicked. 1t is unwise, be-
cause other Christians ought to be
trained to the work.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, l

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 1898.
During the past week, there has
been a continuation Of the i'm
provement on Wall street interest,
and a marked recovery in the tone
and amount of business at large in
all parts of the country. The ac-
tionOf the House of Representa-
tives on silver has made a still
more important contribution to-
wards the recovery of confidence;
for it has given strong assurance
of the remedy of the evil from
which all the arrangements
monetary, financial and CONNER
cial,-have primarily arisen.
Unfortunately, the recovery is
INSTRUCTED by the needless delay
of the Senate in confirming the
action of the House on silver re-
peal. For the ordinary purposes of
trade, the strong assurances COM
ing from the House and the prob
ability of the Senate ultimately
giving a like majority may be ac-
cepted as a sufficient guarantee Of
moderate business for trade OBJ
legations do not usually. extend
over a period longer than a few
weeks or a month. But with the
larger operations of capital it is a
different case.
Another serious effect of the OBJ
structiVe attitude of the minority
of the Senate is that it is holding
in suspense other measures in
which the country is urgently in
terested. The action of Congress
on the large prospective deficiency
of revenue, upon the impending
tariff legislation, and upon meas
ures necessary to provide a better
elasticity in our currency system,
is delayed to the detriment of
business interests universally. 1t
may not be necessary to undertake
at present any broad scheme of
currency reform; but whatever
has to be done must wait until the
Senate has voted on silver.
Just what Congress may choose
to do in the circumstances does not
yet appear. In some quarters there
are plain indications of a DISPOSE
ton to initiate large measures of
reconstruction. While that may
become positive necessity at some
distant period, yet a much more
limited treatment would suffice for
immediate requirements. If the
National banks were allowed to
issue notes up to the full face value
Of their bonds, that would bring
out new issues OF National bank
notes which would more than sat
isfy immediate wants; and the
country would have an interval for
considering what should be the ma
ture of future arrangements-a
question upon which there has so
far been so very little intelligent
discussion,
