Lobster breeding a se.cnce.

During the past ten years there has
been great falling OF in the supply
oflobsters until the price has increased
fully 100 per cent This applies
alike TO the New York market TO the
waters along the New England coast
and in Canada aud Newfoundland
whcro lobster fishing and canning is
an important industry. The neces-
sity for increasing the supply OF
lobsters is generally recognized, and
two methods are proposed for accom-
p!ishing this object. One is the en-
actlncnt OF laws which will check the
depletion OF the lobster beds by over
fishing. and the other Is artificial
propagation.

Keep n Strni.llt Back.

A physician, writing on the subject of the
benefits OF cuitiratlnG an erect carriage, urges
its special Importance rs matter of health.
A body bent forward by the shoulders and
mld'spire causes compression of the vital
organs, the true place at which to bend the
body being at the hips 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
spine and crane their head and neck forward
In n most ungainly manner, continuing this
until BY force of habit, the position becomes
