It safe to say that not one woman In
500 carries herself gracefully, and yet. next
to actual beauty Of feature and coloring
there Is nothing that adds 80 much to q
woman's attractive appearance IS q
straight, well poised figure and an erect
carriage OF the head. Despite her years.
her embonpoint and her want of beauty
there Is Dc more dignified looking woman
at the English court than the little, fat old
queen, her one notable point being the way
she carries herself. That alone gives her
distinction.
tits very odd that, knowing the impor-
lance Of this matter and the great advan-
tage 1t gives TO q woman whether she be
plain or beautiful, tall or short, fat or
thin, TO hold herself well, so very few are
willing to take the trouble of acquiring q
habit which, when o0oe mastered, is rare
ly lost That this Is a crooked and perverss
generation Is literally true, as most moth
ers know to their sorrow.
What can l do to straighten my daugh-
ters" Is q constant query, and one unfor-
tunately that remains unanswered, for
there seems to be really no satisfactory
way invented as yet to correct an ugly oar
riage. Braces are useless; athletics OF all
kinds, although excellent for the health,
are not efficacious for this trouble, except
ing inasmuch as they strengthen the gen.
eral system. All temporary expedients,
such as carrying a book on the head, drill
ing. etc., last only for the time being, the
chin remaining poked forward and the
shoulders rounded as before. An appeal
to vanity seems to be the most potent meth
cd of influencing girls to straighten them
selves up, but this also fails with many.
1t would seem that some specific treatment
might be found to correct this growing
and unmanageable evil II physicians would
give it more thought, and that some radi-
cal remedy might be invented Certain it
Is that If such a cure should be found 1t
would be considered boon of incaloulable
value by mothers. OF course the chief
trouble lies in the laziness and self indul-
gence of the spoiled daughters of this gen.
Grafton. They are not willing to make
the exertions necessary to strengthen the
waist muscles, and so they miss the posses
sion of what is really an all cOnquering
charm. New York Tribune

''There Is no sense whatever in laying
down hard and fast laws about corsets,
said practical, level headed woman ply
sician, with score Of years experience to
give weight to,her words. SIT does not de-
pend on the corset to any great extent, but
on the woman who wears it, 1 have u
great many patients who wear corsets with
the utmost comfort and no harm whatever
and others are simply made wretched by
them. I find that thin women are rarely
hurt by an ordinary corset worn at COM
Portable degree of tightness. Indeed, very
thin women have no occasion to lace and
therefore get along all right. But it Is
the stout woman-the woman who wants
small waist and Is bound to have it,
even though she sacrifices her health TO
get it. Such women get an ironclad corset
and put In strings strong enough to drive
horse with. Then they begin to pull,
sometimes having three sets of strings, so
that they can let out little in one place
and draw In little In another Then
they gradually compress and contract,
pushing the fat up in some places and
down in others and crowding IL in all
around, until they can scarcely breathe.
Then they turn around and around before
the mirror, stand up straight and approve
of themselves and declare that the corset
Is Just as comfortable as an old glove and
that IL does not hurt them q particle.
Probably for the moment 10 does not and
Just at the time there may be no unpleas-
ant consequences from IL, but after bit
they stoop over to pick up something or to
perform some necessary duty and rise up
with the blood all In their faces and gasp
ing for breath.
ut Is the sheerest nonsense to say that
this does no harm. Some injury is un-
avoidable under such circumstances. Then
these stout women sit down to their sew
ing and lean forward, pressing the steels
and whalebones into their flesh, mean
while wearing st. Cecilia expression and
psotcnding to DO just as comfortable as
you please Three fourths of the temper

The intimate association of woman and
beauty is no vain thing fondly imagined,
but fundamental interdependence that
may be denied for q space, but can never
be annihilated. So far the denial of this
truth has only brought her TO a condition
Of spurious growth and fantastic activity,
which has In it neither the seed of the old
peace nor of the new perfection. 1t has
made of womanhood thing of shreds and
patches-shreds of misdirected energy and
patches of misbegotten passion. Nor can
she ever hope to become whole and COM
pleted creature with "a reasonable soul
and human flesh subsisting without the
sense of proportion. which Is the first ele
ment of beauty. She has striven for liber
ty, and already the keys of the gate of life
are in her hand, but if she lacks the wit TO
make freedom fair, what will it avail her
in the end? AS yet she has not even knowl
edge enough to recognize her own incom-
pleteness, her unftness for work and love
alike. Labor that Is neither continuous nor
cooperative benefits none, but the isolated
individual and the world could go on quite
we'll, perhaps better, without it, Neither
Is the modern woman u greater expert at
love. At present she is apt to take it as
she has her shoes mended, while you
formless, colorless thing Is this casual Gu
pid she jeers at the sentiment of which 1t
is but the shadows shade. For love can
never be lovely unless the desire Of beauty
dwells in the soul of the woman who loves.
And only through the development Of this
desire will the redemption of woman be
wrought out.
This creed may seem at first sight to be
nothing more than diaphanous doctrine,
fashioned of the stuff that dreams are
made of. But brief study of the princi-
pies of beauty will show that the pursuit
of it Is by no means incompatible with the
conditions of practical life. The service
of beauty Is not an activity, but an atti-
tude of the heart and mind which, being q
subjective influence, touches the personal
ity Of woman rather than her deeds or
words. Once In the possession of this sixth
sense, this exquisite consciousness even
the least beautiful Of women may become
fair, good alike TO the sight and soul. Sat

In Memoriam.

Mrs Rebecca Lawson Reed was born
in Kittanning, Armstrong Co., Pa, on
the nineteenth of September, 1909, and
died in Rimorsbutg August twenty
second. 1895.
Mrs. Reed was daughter of David
and Isabella Dicky Lawson and was one
of a family of four brothers and seven
sisters. of whom five are still living.
She was married to Peter Reed on
October 22nd 1899. Her father,
David Lawson. was one OF the most
influential men of his generation. or
Scotch Irish ancestry he possessed the
characteristics of that people, and this
daughter inherited to marked degree
the same sterling qualities. Her chris
tian life was unusually fearless and
conscientious, and impressed itself
deeply upon all with whom she came ip
contact. She literally walked and
talked with God and her life and
prayers were constant inspiration to
others. She loved the church and was
never willingly absent from its priv
ileges. Her husband, two sons and two
daughters preceded her to the better
land whilo two sons and one daughter
remain TO cherish her memory. The
close of her life was quiet and peaceful
and on the twenty-fourth of August her
body was laid TO rest in the cemetery
at Rimersburg to await the resurrec-
tion morn.

Mining Situation at Dubois.

The mining situation here has for
many months been such that the
miners, those in the employ of the Bell,
Lewis e. Yates Co., could not earn a
living, and now they cannot earn any
thing at that occupation unless they go
elsewhere for employment The
company has three mines here. Roches-
ter, the largest, and London and Sandy
Lick, two smaller mines. London
mine is the only one in which work has
not been ordered entirely suspended for
an indefinite period. Upwards of 200
men are employed there, and they have
been doing very little all summer, the
same as all the other mines. At the
two other mines about 200 men are en-
ployed when they are running full.
Since work has been so slack the
number has been constantly decreasing.
A miner told the Courier last evening
that he thought not more than 300 were
working in Rochester when they had
work, several hundred having sought
employment elsewhere. Some of those
who left found employment at Walls
ton, Adrian and Helvetia, and still
others have taken up some other occu-
patton. Others will now begin to look
for work elsewhere. Some have been
continuing on with the hope that there
would be an improvement till their re-
sources have become reduced so much
they must leave their families, If they
go away, until they have had time to
earn something. While the company
retains its large holdings here any
suspension is only temporary: but the
men cannot stand the pinch while it
lasts.-DuBois Courier.

IN many of the churches over the
country to-day, and Reynoldsville is no
exception, the front seats are almost, il
not all together, empty during services.
1t would look better to have them all
filled up first, and then If any empty
ones remain, they should be those at the
rear of the church. When people at
tend an entertainment in the opera
house or Centennial hall. the front part
of the buildings are filed up first. The
young people Of the Christian Endeavor
Societies and Epworth League could do
much to improve this in their respective
churches, if they would band them
selves together to fill up all the front
seats at the next regular service of the
church, and continue it. 1t is almost n
rule for the young people to take a seat
about the center Of the audience-room,
and from that point back to the rear
they ill in, making the majority of the
audience occupy the space in the room,
from the center rearward. Indeed,
some Of the older church members
follow the same example-or perhaps
they have set this example for the
Young.

There IS French saying that cour-
tesies and favors are like flowers, which
are only sweet while they are fresh, but
afterwards they quickly fade and
wither. Not so, replies a noted man.;
"the favors you did us nearly twenty
years ago are as fresh to me as II they
were done yesterday. ! distill them in
the alcmbic of my memory, and they
turn to essences" A beautiful reply,
indeed: and how much of truth there is
in it. Surely all of us cherish certain
kindnesses and courtesies and favors we
= have received from friends and even
strangers, years ago, and they form quite
apart Of the pleasures of memory How
often have we heard the expression, 81

Nothing more quickly marks young

the whims and habits Of those past
middle life. It is easier TO look back
ward than forwards and it may be well
to bear in mind that as people have
always been influenced in old age by
their early training so will it be in the
future; and that the next generation
will probably find the young men of to-
day ''behind the times" in very many
cases. Those who boast superiority as
to manners mental endowment and
physical strength, can very well afford
to be magnanimous in their Judgment
OF Others less fortunate. Young men,
above all others, should not kick a man
who Is down. ON the contrary, it is
the part OF manhood to help the fallen,
to provide out of our plenty, that the
meager resources Of others may be less
noticeable. But il the old people cannot
go so fast, can not be lifted out OF the
'ruts,n can not learn the ''new-fangled
notions, then more's the pity The
difference may be made less notable,
however, by generous conduct on the
part Of those who can, if they will, con,
form to the eccentricities Of others. II
