STYLE IS THE BEST ONE
Chairs Should he SO Constructed 81, -
Give the Greatest Comfort.

From the New Yorl; World.
When our grandmothers were pir,s ,,a
straight-backed chairs instead of cpsb-
Toned diVans were the usual resting places
the young women held themselves with :.
straightEess that was almost stiffness
Then when they grew old they still held
themselves like duchesses. For 1t is the
way one sits rather than the exercise one
takes that determines the erectness of the
figure.
prominent physician says that the
proper sitting position requires that the
spine Shall be kept straight, and that the
support needed for the upper part shall he
felt In the right place. Therefore it is
necessary to sit as far back in the chair a 9
possible, 50 that the lower end of the spine
shall be braced against the back of the seat.
If this back is straight the shoulders will
also rest against it. and even if the Shout
ders have no point of support it will be
found that they do not need IL when the
base of the spine is supported properly.
This position makes no strain upon the
hgaments OF the spine. Every organ of the
body is properly fixed by this attitude.
The feet should rest squarey upon the
floor; the hands should rest lightly in the
lap, and thus perfect equilibrium and rest
are secured. The arms should never be
crossed, for that position causes a strain
upon the spine. places a weight upon the
stomach and diaphragm and thus in
creases the labor of digestion and respira-
ton.
Once in a while it is a good thing to place
the arms behind the back, giving, as it does.
the fullest expansion to the upper part of
the body

THE WHITE RHINOCEROS.
A Beast of Immense Bulk. Subject to
Fits of Sudden and Violent Fury.


From the New York Tribune
The full grown white rhinoceros was
nearly seven feet high at the shoulders,
and from fourteen to sixteen feet long and
thus in bulk surpassed every other modern
quadruped except the elephant, which it
almost rivaled Its head was three or
four feet long and held very low, its chin
being normally only a few inches from
the ground. Its truncated muzzle was a
foot and half broad, and designed TO
facilitate the cropping of grass, the sole
food of the creature. The brain, placed
just beneath the big horn, was scarcely
as large as that of man. The eyes were
very small and so set as to have a re-
markedly limited range of vision For this
reason the animal. when either pursuing or
pursued. invariably ran in a straight line
anu mus was easily lodged. In habit the
Whlte rhlnHNerous was usually more dull

horned kinsman. But, like the latter If
was singularly stubborn and psryerse and
subject to sudden and causeless fits of the
most violent fury. 1t would at times for
no conceivable reason, bar the passage of

An Interesting Program.
The program of the meeting was. as
usual. interesting, the singing being espe-
cially one OF the features There was a
song service which was conducted by Mr..
p. S. Foster from the high perch OF the or
gan loft, but the elevation did not seem to
affect the power and sweep OF his baton
The Christian Endeavor choir also con-
tributed some selections The Scripture read
ing was by Mr.. Macarthur and prayer was
offered by Mr.. W. H. II. Smith. cordial
and hearty address of welcome was made
by the pastor of the church, Rev. DR. Stake
ly, who also emphasized the value of the
force that had been added to the ranks of
the Christian workers by the accessions of
the young. He said that the uprising of the
young was one of the hopeful signs of the
present day. Their activity in the church

attributed largely to the work of the young
people the Increase In the membership
which the churches of the city had exper-
fenced during the past few years.
The speech of the evening was delivered
by Mr. John q. Woolley, who made an ear
nest talk on the temperance question, and
especially he pointed out the responsibility
which rested on Christian people that the
liquor traffic should continue to be legalized.

Photography Proved the Signature.
From the Indianano Journai


Photography played an important part In
a suit at Cincinnati. The suit is one OF
local standing. involving the title of l.5OO
acres of valuable farm lands. 1t is based
on a deed made nearly seventy-hve years
ago by the owners Of the land, and turns on
the point whether the deed had five sigma
lures or only four. In order to test this
question it was decided TO have the deed
photographed, and the clerk of the court
was ordered to give the matter his per-
sonal supervision. For that purpose IL was
taken to Washington and submitted TO an
expert photographer Of that city. The
original deed, discolored and yellow with
age. showed traces Of four signatures and
a space where there might have been a
fifth, but no trace OF II. The photographing
was done I'm the presence of the clerk of the
court. who refused to let the deed go out OF
his sight. The negative revealed traces OF
the missing signature. and when IL was en-
larged ten times the entire name became an
plain as when first written. The court pro-
nounced the evidence conclusive. and the
result will be the reversal Of q former de-
cision and a change in the ownership or the
land.

Do You Eat Quail.

1t is a little late IN the season to
bring the matter up, but it may be in
terestiug for people to know that the
trade in quail and prairie chickens
which has been carried on so extern
sively during the past eight weeks in
Leavenworth, is in violation of the
law. The Kansas game law passed by
the Legislature in 1888 and amended
in 1886, provides that sit shall be I'M
lawful for any person, company or
corporation, at any time to buy, sell
or barter within the state of Kansas
any birds not excepted in section l,
or the birds enumerated in section 2
the act" This makes the law apply
to quail and prairie chickens. The
law provides further that "the having
In possession by any person, company
or corporation Of any such birds,
when the shooting, catching or kill
ing thereof is prohibited, shall be
deemed prima facie evidence of the
violation of the act. Provided, that
nothing in this act, shall be so con-
strued as to prevent any person from
the purchasing from any person who
has legally killed the same, any Of the
birds mentioned II for use in his
own family or the selling of the same
by the person having lawfully killed
the same, to any person for use in his
own family" The punishment pro-
vided for violation of the act is q fine
of mot less than SIS or more than S25
for each and every offense, and costs,
together with attorneys fee of So
The trade in these game birds has
been entirely stopped at Manhattan
where o committee of the Protective
Association waited upon the mer-
chants and formally notified them to
quit on penalty of the enforcement of
the law 1t might be we'll to keep the
provisions of the law in mind and see
that they are enforced next season in
the interest Of the perpetuation Of our
game birds. If the traffic in qualls
and chickens could be stopped and
the gun in the market hunter silenced,
game would again become plentiful.

Marriage.

Women have been the slaves of
slaves; and in my Judgment it took
millions of ages for women to come
from the condition of abiect slavery
up to the institution of marriage. Let
me say right here that l regard mar
riage as the hottest institution among
men. Without the freside there is
no human advancement; without the
family relation there is no life worth
living. Every good government is
made up Of good families. The unit
of good government is the family,
and anything which tends to destroy
the family is perfectly deyilish and
infamous. l believe in marriage, and
l hold in utter contempt the opinions
of those long-haired men and short
haired women who denounce the in
stitutlon of marriage.
The grandest ambition any man
can possibly have is to SO live, and so
improve himself In heart aud brain
as to be worthy of the love of some
splendid woman; and the grandest
ambition of any girl is to make her
self worthy of the love and alteration
of some magnificent man. This is MY
idea. There is no success in life
without love and marriage. You had
better be the emperor of one loving
and tender heart, and she the en-
press of yours, than to be the king of
the world. The man who has really
won the love of one good woman in
this world, 1 do not care if he dies in
the ditch beggar, his life has been a
success.
| say it took millions Of years to
come from the condition of abjeCt
slavery up to the condition of marri-
age. Ladies, the ornaments you wear
