A few miles east OF Youngstown, O.,

USES OF MIRRORS,

Invaluable as Guards Against BAD Habit
In Standing Or Sitting.
Mirrors refecting the person at full
length are most desirable articles with
which to have a house abundantly sup
piled. To see ones self often, and in
all kinds Of postures, is guard sgaiuss
bad habits both in sitting and standing.
Hardly any girl would persist in
standing with arms akimbo II she could
see her distorted figure as it appears
to othors. Children would become
moro graceful, thoir gestures would be
moro eaey, while their attitudes would
bo in evory way more charming If they
could frequently see themselves re-
feotod from mirrors on all sides In
their homes.
1t is q mistake to think that this ous-
tom would foster vanity Of an obnox-
ious kind In young people. 1t should,
indeed, make them vain to the degree
that they would wish to appear at tho
most pleasing advantage; but this 10
form Of vanity which parents would do
we'll to cultivate. A young lady known
to tho writer was cured of q facial ex-
prossion exceedingly annoying to her
family by happening to see herself in q
ing in it.
There would be fewer round shoul-
ders, less leaning on elbows, less sit
ting in inelegant positions, and, I
trust, fur less gum-chewing If houses
were built with large mirrors here and
there let into the walls. But lot us
have plenty Of small ones in the nur-
sery, in the corners of the dining-rooms
and chambers. and, above all, in those
rooms whore the family congregatss.
A mother know used to find n mir
ror of much service In amusing her
bnby while she went about other
duties. Knowing that babies love the
company Of other children, she ar-
ranged looking-glass 50 that he could
see himself and all his toys and sur
roundings reflected In It, and he imme-
diately accepted the substitute for O.
playmate.
This believer in tho mirror az q
means Of entertainment for children
used to allow q little niece who came
sometimes to stay with her to find her
pleasure In the same way On days
when the weather was bad and she
could not 60 out. The child would
frequently stand before large mirror
by tho hour together playing lady"
than which there is no more delightful
malse-believe in the world for little
girls.
She was allowed to have ribbons and
fans and gloves, parasol and veil,
and, Of course, Il long skirt, and If the
things were not the freshest or most
modern Of their kind she ncvor know
it, or at least her pleasure was not at
oil affected by the fact.
The balls she attended, the car
riage rides she took, and tho enter
tainments she gave were countless,
and, what was SO charming in it
all, she was thoroughly unconscious
The reflected parsonage was another
individual altogether, and tho sweep
ing courtcsics she made to the fine lady
in the glass were but tho precursors Of
the graceful manners which charmed
everyone in her mothers drawing-room

Is said TO have represented l79 newspapers besides
incidentally publishing few on It's own account
was Baron Edgar Savigny. The Baron has dis
appeared with the rest OF the outfit and his friends

the sudden stoppage OF such a large business as
that which Il said the association was doing,
