1t is enough to imagine the unfeigned

If the proper position of the feet in
walking were made matter Of doubt.
For years the dancing masters standard
In all matters of carriage and walk has
been an unquestioned one. The fin de
steele young woman, however, has
mind of her own. She has not found
that the conventional training of the
dancing master, valuable as it undoubt-
eddy is, is all sufficient in producing that
grace of carriage and elegance Of man.
ner so desirable in the woman Of the
world.
On the contrary, she has found that
the physical training of the woman of
the stage has been more often conducive
to the desired end. Hence it is that
schools of Delsarte have sprung up all
over the land, and systems of physical
training, including boxing and fencing,
heretofore relegated to the sterner sex
have found patronesses in plenty. From
the earliest days since the walk and car
tidBo hdNc Deeu ~ iudJueI VI bIuuy III has
been decided by all authorities on the
subject that the proper position of the
feet was ''heels together and toes out"
which is the present military position.
The English rule is that the angle at
which the toes should be turned out on
dress parade or in marching is 60 de-
grees. This throws the feet into an ex.
tremely unnr tural position, which it is
practically impossible to maintain in
marching. This is about the degree
which the dancing master prescribes to
his pupils, and the average well trained
woman turns out her feet at a consider
ably less angle, about As degrees. Strange
as it may seem, very little attention has
been given to the position of the feetat
the best physical training schools, though

that in certain diseases plaster cast of

There is but one opinion among physi-

feet, and that is thoroughly opposed to
the opinions of the dancing master OF

Sore Lips and Thread.Biting.

New York Recorder
Ladies who do great deal of sewing
frequently suffer great deal from sore
ness OF the mouth and lips, and are
often at loss to ascertain the cause of

the result of biting of thresd instead
Of using pair of shears for cutting.
Ia the case OF silk thread the danger is
quite marked because it is usual to soak
the thread IN acetate of lead. partly TO
harden 1t and give it good surface, aud
also, perhaps. to increase its weight If
this practice IS followed regularly anu
very much silk thread is used the re-
suits may be quits serious, and even

"CLAMMY HANDSHAKES."
The Expression of Character In Our Com,
mon Mode of Greeting.

The Expression OF Character In Our Com,
mon Mode of Greeting.
Shaking hands is an expression Of
character-where there is any charac-
ter. There are men, and women too,
whose hand-clasp is a welcome and q
benediction, because of the warmth and
heartiness manifested in it. And there
are men, and women too, whose hand
touch gives chill because of the cool
ness and constraint it evidences. But
worst of all, in a man or in woman,
is the attempt to conform to an arti-
fetal and conventional form of hand
shaking, with stiffness of the wrist
and lift of the elbow, intended to
show that there Is neither naturalness
nor ease in the movement, but that
this is the style, you know" When
that elbow goes up with jerk in a
handshake, the estimate of the poor
creature who has come into this fash
ion because of the lack Of character to
resist the social pressure goes down in
the mind of the one who observes it.
When character predominates, it finds
expression in a hearty handshake. A
Christian Indian on the Cheyenne mis-
sion, South Dakota, writing to a repre-
sentative of the St. Andrews Brother
hood, says; II shake hands with you
with my heart.n That is a good way
to shake hands. But if you have no
heart, you may show that in your sub
stitute for handshaking.-S. S. Times.

rroublesomo Initials.

Some years ago several wealthy men
of Memphis, Tenn, built steamboat,
and named it after one of their best
citizens, Charles B. Church. But in
painting the name on the paddle box,
as they wanted the letters large, they
put simply the initials, SO that the
name read &C. B. Church"
When the colored people first caught
sight of the boat they puzzled them
selves not little over this name. Such
of them as could read, reasoned about
the matter at great length.
"What kind OBJ church am dat c, B.
church," they queried. "What does
de c. b. STAN for? OATS what we want
to know"
At length bright thought struck
one of them, and he exclaimed joy
fully: 81 know what dat ere STAN for!
Wonder didn't see it fore! Dat G. B..
stan for Colored Baptis'-it's de Col
ored Baptis' church, dat's what it is!'
The steamboat went by that name
for some time, until the owners, in
desperation at the jokes about it,
erased the initials, and had Charles B..
Church painted in full.-Youth's Com
