"OH, MY TIRED BACK

Exercise-A System Which Is Far More
Effective Than the Swallowing of Medi-
cines-Every Woman and Girl Shoald
Practice 1t.
The back has twenty-six seperate
bones, SO strung together that they
have very little individual movement:
but what little they have ought to be
carefully preserved, if we would be
capable, graceful and easy.
Children have nine more separate
bones; these become joined into two, to
form the solid back wall Of the pelvis-
that bony basin which holds our deli
cate abdominal organs.
There would be no muscular back
aches if we had kept childhood's move
ment Of the back.
There are no superfuous muscles IN
the human body, ANA sooner or later
those which have been deceased to de-
generacy will be called into action.
Then, naturally, they will either fall
utterly to respond to the call, or they
will act beyond their strength and suf-
fer for it,

FABLES OF THE PHOENIX.
How He Builds His Own Funeral Pyro
and Lights 1t.

and Lights 1t
The paragon of all fabulous creatures
was the bird described by the ancient
writer's under the title of the Arabian
phoenix" Ovid says: "Although most
beings and things have their origin in
other individuals of their own species,
there is one remarka bic exception to
this general law-the miraculous bird
called the phoenix which reproduces
itself" According to belief which
Herodotus heard expressed at Heliopo-
lis. the famous Egyptian city OF the
SUM-" this miraculous" bird visited
that place once every five hundred
years-always coming from the dlrec-
ton of Ara bia-on the occasion OF It's
fathers death, and always buried him
! with peculiar ceremonies.
According to the best evidences
which can be gathered from the
writings of Ovid, Pliny, Herodotus and
Dion Cassius, after the phoenix had
| lived his allotted lifetime Of five hun
dred years he selected spot and pre-
pared his own deathbed, which con-
sisted of sort of nest, or funeral pyre,
made of leaves and branches OF the
oak, ears of sweet spilSenard, CHINA
mon bark, yellow myrrh, etc. Seating
himself upon this he tapped his wings
with such velocity as to cause the nest
to take fire. After bird and nest had
been consumed little worm appeared
in the ashes and rapidly developed into
full-fedged phoenix. The first care
Of the new bird was to arrange for the
sepulcher of his fathers ashes, which
Herodotus describes as follows:
with the myrrh and other gums II
has amassed the phoenix fashionsa ball
as large as it can carry. This ball il
hollows out, and in the hollow places
puts the ashes of it's dead parent. The
ball is deposited in the nest, and the
young phoenix carries the whole from
Arabia to Egypt for the purpose of in
terring it's fathers ashes at the city o1
the SUM- Having reached its destina
ton 1t lays its burden down upon the
altar of Helois and disappears as mys
teriously asst had come" The legends
connected with this fabulous bird vary
in some of their details, but all agree
in the statement that only single bir(
of the species was living at any ONT
time.

TESTS OF BREEDING.
Good Manners Have Their Sharpest Tess
at Home.

GOOD manners EEaVP Encir SHhTpeot
at Home.
Frankness without rudeneSS, lnde-
pendence without the least tinge Of
egotism, sincerity freed from any show
Of cOarseneSS, prOmptneSS OF express
sion without undue liberty of speech,
and the grace and sweetness Of atten-
ton and sympathy are the nerves OF
good manners. Lacking these mere
physical attractiveness goes for naught;
with them a homely face and an un-
classic form appear positively beautl-
ful. Style tells, and there can be no
good style in the absence of good char
acter.
One of the shrewdest things that
Emerson ever said was: He that does
not fill a place at home, cannot abroad"
Good manners begin at home and have
their sharpest test in the conduct OF
EVERYDAY domestic affairs and in the
management Of what we are wont to
consider the insignificant clrcum'
stances of private life. 1t was vulgar
old woman who said: Il hain't got nc
Sundav-po-to-meetin foolishneSs about
me-" but her remark carried a val'
liable suggestion of what man
ners should be, the same every
day in the year. That IS TO
saw. the habit of life. not the for
mality assumed for an occasion,
is the true basis of social conduct,
and early youth is the time in which a
proper habit of life is to be acquired.
What we do from habit we do without
self-consciousness, easily and with such
grace as we have. Good breeding is
but the hereditary habit of doing the
rirht thing as matter of course II
YOU have not good breeding the next
best thing is sound self-training, not IN
outward expression alone, but IN IN
ward taste, aspiration and attitude
! For manners are but extrinsic badges
of intrinsic values The flower IS from
the root: the grace Of charming con
duct is from the purest wells OF eight

that worthy motive and an unselhsI
attitude of mind are behind your con
