HOW TO SIT.
A Simple Exercise For Imparting n Health
full. Gracious Restful Pose.


Nothing so quickly demonstrates Ike lack
of physical training as the fashion in which
one sits. Many people think that if they
sit bolt upright, looking like animated ram
rods, they are sitting properly. Such a pc.
sition may he proper. but it is not comforta-
bic and therefore seldom assumed. save
with company manners. At other times
women let the shoulders fall forward, there

back, and declare that position to be COM

guing, unhealthy and ugly.
You may bend over to sew or write il
you like, but you must bend from the hips,
not from the waist. In sitting, as in stand.
ing, due attention must be directed to the
backbon and chest. When the backbone
retains its double curve, the chest will be
high. and all the internal organs will be free.
This is the position TO be maintained when
one sits upon piano stool or other seat
without back support.
Women who always sit upright and never
lean back are of the tense order. and sooner
or later they will suffer the consequences OF
their chronic rigidity The back bone was
evidently constructed for versatility Noi

lowed to lose its fexibility and should be
relaxed whenever n support permits.
The New York Herald, discoursing as
above, recommends a simple exercise which
teaches how to sit in Il healthful, gracious,
restful manner. Sit erect and free the torso
muscles from tension. Place one hand
upon the chest and one at the small of the
back. Slowly sway backward until the back
rests against the back of the chair, then
sway forward to the original position. II
this exercise be correctly taken, rs the body
sways backward there will be slight ont

chest will lower little, but will not be-
come depressed. In sitting never hold the
hands upon the abdomen. Do not clasp OF

cPRING CLEANING.
The Time When Every Mans House Is Not
Ills Castle-Need 1t BE Thus?

Ills Castle--Need 1t Be Thus?
A famous lawyer said that "a mans
house is his castle" but If there is one
time moro than another when q man feels
he is not monarch Of all he surveys surely
it is during that annual upheaval which
rccurs with such relentless regularity-the
spring cleaning! But is there any reason
why spring cleaning should be the terrible
banc that it Isl
1t is because this enemy is sch very
ancient one that it does NO enter into
ones calculations to fight it. We have
been trained from our youth up to look
upon the yearly spring cleaning as nee
essary evil. The mistake underlying the
whole system, as rule, is the endeavor
80 do too many things at once. Why should
there be this tremendous upheaval Of home
lfes Is there any logical reason why all
the rooms in the house should present the
same ghostlike appearance together
Oac room at a time is surely the better
plan. OF course, according to the size OF
the house and domestic staff, this rule must
be varied to couple or even three rooms
at time The objection to this plan will
doubtless be the length Of time occupied
before the whole is complete, but it would
be found that the difference in the long
run would not be SO very great, while the
amount of comfort gained would most out
weigh the few extra days.
1t Is at this time Of year also that the
mcthodicai housekecpcr takes a good look
round her establishment to ascertain what
articles Of furniture require replacing,
which rooms need new carpets, which car
pets must be remade for smaller rooms,
etc.
Now here is an excellent opportunity for
n woman TO exercise her originality Do
not replace; alter The variety gained by
Encouragement is not only rcstful to the
eye, but greatly enhances the value of GER
tain articles. The new things required
will be different from those to be replaced,
as you will have in all probability left a
fresh nook vacant that is capable of total
ly different treatment.
Is new couch needed? Have coy
corner instead. Does the study require ii
fresh overmantcl? Try instead an arrange
mcnt Of bookshclves surmounted with
china to about half the height above the
mnntcshelf, with pictures above. If q
bedroom, formerly covered with carpet,
needs n new one, have the boards var
uishcd and strcw tho floor with rugs OF
the dressed skins of animals.

THE FINGER NAILS.
Due Care OF Natures Jewels on the Hand
Is Neither Alteration Nor Vanity.

Due faro or satures Jewels on the HAMA
Is Neither Alteration Nor Vanity.
1t is not many years since the business of

ing their nails and bringing them to a
point only less sharp than that of China
mans nails, and it was understood that n

like claw or it was not the proper thing
vt all. But the fancy, like all caprices, has
now undergone some change. 1t served it's

less of that decoration which nature has
given the hand, more beautiful than any
jewel, and who never thought of it further
than to keep it clean, to give it the atten-
ton which it ought to have while stopping
short of what might be called a cult
The woman who attracts and seeks to at
tract attention by her dress, her color, her
manners, still has her nails shine like fresh
crystals and brought to an acute point.
But the woman of good form has now for
saken that acute point. Her nail is cut ex-
actly to the round Of her finger, matching
the half moon below and just betraying tho
tip. 1t is filed simply to smoothness and
rubbed only enough to remove roughness
and marks.

while before the polishing the nail has been
thoroughly cleansed, SO that no loose skin
pr hard particle adheres to the sides or base,
in order that no hangnail can be formed to

Every woman who wishes this done can do
1t for herself, and, except the salvc, She

Unknown DeUiLS Attempt to
Wreck a Midland Passenger
Train

Jackson, Tenn, Sept. "a sec
ond attempt was made to wreck the
Jackson and Memphis passenger
train on the Tennessee Midland
Railroad last night few yards this
side of Grover, seven miles west of
Jackson. At the same place a similar
attempt was made the preceding
Sunday night. A cross tie was. pin
toned across the track and others
piled upon it. The engineer dis
covered the obstruction just in time
to slow up just as the engine touch
Ell it and again prevented what
must have proved a disastrous
wreck and probable loss of several
lives. Jim Theus and Thomas
Thornton, two young negroes, were
arrested on suspicion of having made
the first attempt last week, but
were released; Sheriff Brooks has
the names of several negroes in the
neighborhood who are under suspi-
cion, and went out this afternoon to
arrest them. The matter will be
thoroughly sifted. Wing.

Col. Patterson in Bolivar.

Although the candidacy of @. A.
Miller for congress was unanimous
ly Endorsed by the convention held
in this place a few weeks ago, new
ertheless the most ardent supporters
of that gentleman will hardly claim
since witnessing the scene enacted
during and after the speech of Col.
Patterson on last Saturday, chat the
unanimous Endorsement voiced the
sentiments of the whole of the vo-
tiers of this county. Indeed the
round after round of applause that
greeted the speaker was, in our
opinion, sufficient to make the
hearts of the cheap money advocates
sick, and the distributors of that
anonymous letter feel that their ex-
ertions were not having the desired
effect. The seating capacity of the
courtroom was not sufficient to &C
cOmmOdate all who attended the
speaking. The occasion was graced
by the presence of sixty-fve or sew
enty ladies. Col. Patterson began
his speech at about l o'clock and
spoke for two hours. After express
sing his appreciation for the honor
conferred in selecting him as their
representative in congress, he launch
ed upon the discussion of the finan-
cial question, and a more lucid and
logical exposition of that subject
we have not had the pleasure of
hearing. Col. Patterson very fore
IDLY showed the utter fallacy of the
argument that gold and silver would
circulate when there was a difference
between the legal and commercial
ratio of so cents on the dollar, and
truly said that if a law was passed
authorizing the free coinage of both
metals at the ratio of 16 to l, there
would be no gold coined, because at
the present price of bullion one
pound of gold is worth 80 pounds
of silver; hence instead of the hol-
ders of bullion having it coined they
would purchase silver bullion with
their gold bullion and by so doing
would double their money. The
speaker truly stated that the inevita-
bic result of such a law would be the
placing this country on a silver basis.
He stated that he could not consider
the free coinage of Is to l PROPOSE
ton with any degree of patience, but
that there was a phase of the question
which was debatable, and that is
whether it would not be best for
this country to let all the gold 90
and adopt the silver standard. His
objections to the silver standard is
in the first place none of the en-
lightened nations have adopted that
policy and that those who had only
silver, whereas the nations which
have gold as their standard really
have more silver than gold. His allu-
sion to the time when the southern
people were domIneered by republic
can rulers of state as we'll as nation
recalled to mind the dark and dis
NAL period through which the South
has passed. But when he feelingly
mentioned a number of confederate
veterans, and also southerners who
have attained their majority since
the war that have been selected by
President Cleveland to fill some of
the most responsible government POI
sitiOns, we were impressed with
the fact that as long as Cleveland
remains at the helm so long the
southern people could rely upon JUS
tice being melted out to them, and
their interests being guarded with
! jealous care.
