Our Croolredness.

Comparatively few persons have
both sides OF the body Of perfectly
similar proportions, says Pearson's
Weekly, One leg or one arm is
shorter than the other, The two
sides Of the head are often Of unequal
size. Few persons have ears Of an
equal size and symmetrically placed.
The size and position Of the eyes
vary. In the mouth and throat we
also find inequality, and the cartilage
separating the two nasal cavities Is
more often detected than vertical.
This condition Of inequality in the
two sides Of the body is called asym-
metry.
There Is a tendency among school
children, and especially among school
girls, to assume habitual postures
both in sitting and standing. The
habit Of throwing all the weight of
the body on one leg produces CORE
spending throwing of the upper part
of the body toward the opposite side
In order to establish the necessary
equilibrium. This tends, Of course,
to curve the spinal column, on which
the upper part Of the body is sup
ported.
In this position the body and all
the internal organs are thrown out
of the normal vertical position, and
the force Of gravity still further ex-
aggerates this deplorable result.
Thus the muscles Of the neck are
unevenly exercised in the unconscious
balancing Of the head upon the verte-
bral column, Even the muscles Of
The face tend to become unevenly
contracted, and this in time devel-
ops condition Of asymmetry Of the
face.
1t is a well-known physiological
law that the use Of muscle causes
an increase in its size, while neglect
causes it to become smaller
The steady use Of the same arm in
carrying a set Of heavy books to and
from school, the propplng Of one arm
on a table, or the excessive use Of one
arm or leg and the disuse of the 9th
er--each such habit slowly but sure.
ly brings about its own result, unless
constant effort be made to counter,

The Two Goats.

In the field two goats were brows-
ing. They wandered up and down
and all over the field But they did
not enjoy so much the tender grass
as they did the hard, stringy bits of
vegetables and greasy papers which
the grocer's boy threw out to them.
In the next field some sheep and a
couple Of little lambs were confined.
A little girl came down from the
house, and calling one Of the lambs
to her, she petted and Rugged it,
calling it loving names.
"How foolish that child acts over
that silly lamb" said one goat to an
other. "Am / not as beautiful and
endearing as a lamb"
ut is stupid to be a lamb, said the
wlsest goat. "You cannot run about
as freely and eat greasy papers and
tin cans when you want to; you had
better be content to be a goat so long
as you cannot help yourself"
But the foolish goat would not at
tend to these words Of wisdom. The
next time the little girl came near
the field he ran over to her and be-
gan jumping and prancing all about
her, seeking to attract her attention,
that she might pet him as she did
the little lamb.
But instead Of pettlng him the lit
tie girl was frightened, She cried,
and then her big brother, the far
mer's boy, came and drove off the big
goat with a stick, and ended by CIV
ing him good beating.
IL suppose you are satisfied now,
you silly fellow" contemptuously said
the wise goat to his mistaken brother,
"You would have been much happier
if you had been content to stay here
and eat greasy papers and tomato
cans 1t is better to act like a good
goat than like a bad imitation Of a
lamb"

Monkeys That Make Wine.

DR., MACEDONIAN, an American, who
lives at Tien-Tsin, has lately re-
turned from the Great Wall, where
he learned of race of Manchurian
monkeys inhabiting the mountain
region of the Great Wall, who show
astonishing progress in the art Of pot
terry and wine-making.
A recent edition of the official his
tory Of Yungping states that lately a
large body Of immigrating monkeys
passed acertain town in crossing from
one mountain to another. The boys
of the village clapped their hands
and shouted at the monkeys, which,
becoming frightened, fed, taking
their young in their arms, but drop
ping in their flight number Of
earthen vessels, some of which would
hold quart.
The villagers found they contained
two kinds Of wine, a pink and a
green, that had been made from
mountain berries. The monkeys store
this liquor for use in the winter, when
the water is all frozen.
DR.. MACEDONIAN adds that the
chronicler cites an author who afiirms
that in Sc Chuen there are monkeys
who manufacture wine, and gives the
following anecdote in evidence: A
party Of villagers who desired to try
the quality Of the monkey wine
placed, unobserved, a great feast near
the monkeys caves and then hid
themselves
On discovering the food the mon
keys went to their caves aud brought
out their liquor, without which the
feast could not be enjoyed. At that
moment the villagers rushed out of
their hiding-place, and the monkeys
forthwith scampered of, leaving the
wine, with which the villagers made
themselves merry.

Which Won the Prizeq

Three students Of the Ecole des
Beaux Arts, Marseilles, were talking
in a cafe. "My dear fellow" said
one; II painted the other day little
piece of pine wood in imitation Of
marble so perfectly that it sank to
the bottom of the water" "Pooh'

without letting any one know Of the

Once, a few weeks ago, while they
were in Chicago with their mother

started to find her. Then she saw,

Elizabeth Is Foolish.

The Empress Elizabeth of Austria
is said to submit herself to the Sc
verest regimen in order to retain the
beautiful figure for which she is
noted. She fasts morning and even
ing, making her only regular meal at
noon, Of grilled meat, biscuits, and a
glass OF wine. Occasionally she eats
a raw egg or little fruit. She wears
heavy flannel underwear winter and
summer, takes vapor baths and mas
sage, and, by dint Of all this and
much notwithstanding, she keeps a
waist-measure Of twenty inches, in
spite Of her flfty-six years

Precaution Against Cold.

Mrs. Inchbald had a child-like d.
rectness and simplicity Of manner,
which, combined with her personal
loneliness and halting, broken utter
ance, gave to her conversation, which
was both humorous and witty, most
comical charm. Once, after travel
ing all day In a pouring rain, the
dripping coachman offered her his
arm to help her out, when she ex-
claimed, to the amusement Of her
fellow-travelers: ooh, no, mol wy
you will give me my death Of cold.

But our neighbors do not love us,
The reason for this is simple. We
have too high an opinion of ourselves
and too low an opinion Of others.
According to the popular estimate:
Americans are vulgar.
French are immoral.
Russians are barbarians.
Italians are beggars.
Spaniards are cutthroats.
Germans are Doors.
Greeks are sharpers.
Australians are conviCts.
Swiss are harpies.
Turks are unspeakable.
And every other people below con-
tempt.
Foreigners are, in fact, deceitful,
effeminate, irreligious, immoral, I'M

For Worn-Out Faces.

No one knows the care OF house
in all its departments as one who has
tried it for years. No one can know
the WEAKNESS Of selecting planning
and knowing just what will be served
for the 1905 meals which are needed
to give ones family a years growth
except one who has planned that
number for several years.
Over and over again one hears:
"She is worn out. She has kept
house for fifteen years, and she is
the best housekeeper know"
All through the history Of humani-
ty need calls forth supply. Each
condition Of suffering or demand has
through all ages brought its cure, It's
reply.
Sometimes we do not see the cure
as quickly as we might, but 1t is al.
ways waiting, always ready when
our need is great enough to drive us
to 1t.
What, then, is the response here
to the hundreds of drawn, tired,
faces; the hundreds of broken down
women who, instead Of rlpening into
a vigorous old age, wither and droop
into different stages Of incapacity
and suffering?
The answer is here:
Learn bodily economy.
Spare your forces as you spare your
money.
Watch your bank account of mus.
cular and nervous strength.
