Cure for Round Shoulders.

A physician in Mothers Nursery
Guide has recommended the following
movements for the cure of all except
very severe cases" OF round shoulders,
when braces are sometimes a necessity:
81. Raise arms before you shoulder
high; extend arms sidewise; throw head
back; straighten head: move arms for
ward; lower arms; repeat ten times.
80 Stand erect; raise arms before you;
rise on tiptoes. then throw arms as far
backward as possible sink on heels and
drop arms to side; repeat ten times.
"3 Raise arms with elbow bent Shout
der-high. bringing palms together In
front OF face: then. with elbows still
bent, swing both arms vigorously back
ward as far as possible even with the
shoulders, palms looking forward. This
should be repeated several times, but,
as the position Ia somewhat fatiguing.
rest or change of exercise may be made
between the movements"

subalterns were lying by for the regi-
mental cup. and the juniors had the
race to themselves. 1t was won by
young Molesworth. whose round Shout

caused much conflict of opinion between
him and the old riding master. but who
now showed that II he were not des-
tined to shine in the menage, he had at
any rate indisputable nerve and enough
seat and hands to take him over a diff
cult country. He afterwards became
one OF our best men on a horse. and
won equestrian honors in many ticklish
places. Then came an hours interval

Percy, and l brought up the rear. There
was long stretch OF grass rather down

put on the pace. Percy evidently thought

who had hardly steadied Mousetrap, but
even so the horse ought not to have
made a mistake. Perhaps he was fur
ried. or there may have been a stump

to come to our race meeting, and made
plentiful provision for their entertain

lions which will collect people from far
and near, especially in Ireland. When
the day of the meeting came 1t was all
that could be wished. There was
bright sun and soft wind. and there
had been just a sufficient sprinkling of
rain over night to lay the dust and
make the drive to the course delightful,

prevent our fair friends from putting
on their freshest and prettiest toilets.

TWENTY HURT BY A FALL.
Crowded Platform Gave Way Mt

(By Associated Press)
AKRON, o., Sept 2O.-Twenty young
men were more or less injured last
night by the falling of a large wooden
platform between the Vagel Block, South
Main street. and a building directly in
the rear.
The announcement that the Excelsior
Athletic Club would give free enter
tainment in its hall, on the third story
Of the rear building, attracted quite a
crowd, Those who arrived before the
doors were opened were obliged to stand
on a wooden platform which connected
the two structures.
This platform was forty feet from
the ground, and the strain upon 1t proved
too great, and 1t fell with crash that
could be heard blocks away, carrying
buried under the heavy timber. A few
were unconscious when taken out, but
no one was killed.

SOVEREIGN TALKS.
He Addresses "a Large Gather

Condition.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 22.-Gen-
eral Master Workman Sovereign,
of the X. of L., addressed a large
meeting of workingmen last night,
in the course of which he said:
''ln the beginning men started
equally, but now the one class has
nearly everything, and millions,
though willing to work are on the
verge of starvation. While mil
lions are starving the rich still find
place on earth for magnificent
palaces and great parks, where
they may hunt and enjoy life as
they please to do. In America to-
day there are 100000 men willing
and ready to work who are idle for
want of work to dO-mOlding them
selves or rather being nodded into
felOns and beggars. Charity has
been strained as it was never
strained before, but still the cry for
bread from starving threats is
heard all OYER the land. These
men are being turned into tramps.
''The tramp is described as
cross between poverty and crime,
but | think the dude, product of
our civilization, can just as accur-
ately be described as n cross be-
tween nobody and nothing. Both
are the result, the outcome of
mOnopoly-the monopoly that unless
it is thrOttled will cause tile death
of the republic"

The Tariff.

We would like to be able to give
our readers something definite
about the tariff bill passed by the
present Congress, but it seems that
it is surrounded by chaos, and
hangs upon the slender thread of
uncertainty. If Cleveland signs
the bill or If he fails to sign it with
i'll the limited time, and if he fails
to reto it, it will become a law, by
which the sugar trust will derive
from one to one and three quarter
cents per pound profit. This of
course, the consumer pays. The
most remarkable feature of the bill
is the use of a semicOlOn that will,
1T is cOntended, place diamonds on
the free list. Congress is supposed
to be composed of the most COM
petent men, with a peculiar fitness
from an educational standpoint for
the position they occupy, they have
been discussing the tariff bill for
months, and the fact that the mis-
use of a semicolon should place dia.
monds on the free list, is indeed
strange coincidence, to say the least
of it. The Daily States of the 18th
inst, comes nearer in our opinion to
expressing the truth in regard to
