The HABIT OF COMPLAINING.

y OMEBODY has truly said that The real
- art Of living Is making the best OF
things. So. nv sisters. let that ts
the basis OF the philosophy of your daily
life. Cultivate cheerfulnesS- don't COM
plain, don't nag at fortune and fate: meet
the petty ills that hourly arise bravely,
brightly. So met. they are haII defeated.
and. be sure. VIII wholly vanish before the
twin sOrCrTeTs, hope and patience.
The habit of complaining grows. and its
influence is something TO be dreaded; IL re-
Cluces everybody TO state OF despOHdenCy
aud depression, units one for the daily
battle OF life aud makes even the memory
OF home hateful And this vice, for vice
il is. is boomerang; 1t not only acts upon
Others, but It reduces its victim to . pit.able
condition; she becomes nervous. fretful.
and. alas. naE2ing. and there Is 10 sweet
ness left in life
Complaint is a confession OF failure"
So said one Of the wise oues OF the earth
II women would but recC guize the force
and truth of that diCtum. surely there would
ne less jar and fret in this wOrk-I-day
world.
Who would wilIiE gIy confess defeat@
And vet the woman who complains does
all unwittingiy; she prOciaims aloud
that she is Overweig GIFTED by her RESPONSE
bihtieS. that she Is unable to meet the
calls upon her tact and patience: that
Ife's worries are too many for her; in a
word that she has faiIed-a Illuminating

America, appeared before the local branch

on the project Of the foundation OF a col
leEe for the revival OF the lest mysteries
OF antiquity and the study OF the arts and
religions OF the ancient Egyptians and
Romans.
OCCultism relates TO that hidden from

there as a soul in things as in The human
being. He refuted the accusation that
Theosophists believed i'll the transniigration
Of the soul from man 10 some of the baser
animals, but said they believed in the

Every man has divine potency, but he

kONEN HAVE ADVANTAGE.

A MEDICAL man says; With the woman
n the bones OF the skull arms and chest
are smaller and lighter than those Of
man, while the pelvic bones and those OF
the thighs are larger and prupOTtionately
heavier. When the bones are covered with
flesh. the proportion - still better inGi-
Gated and the difference more marked
The center of gravity is much lower IN
wOman's body than in mans
This gives her greater agility and a
more perfect equilibrium. Her hips are
more developed and heavier. the thighs
are shorter and larger. which enables her
to hold herself in the saddle better. and.
relatively, her Tower limbs are stronger.
With man. on the contrary. the upper part
of the body and the arms are more de-
veIoped. which, from a cycling stand
point is not good. Woman, therefore, be-
cause Of her structure. should be better
cVClist than man.

to allow for padding being put in. This
should first he lightly tackled and the effect
examined. and then the figure may be
regulated TO a symnet tTiCal size.
Care should be taken in laCing the cor
sets always to leave space at the back,
so that the Corsets do not meet, and see that
this space is narrow at the waist and wide
on bust and hips.
Always lace a trifle below the waist line
if the figure is desired to look longer, and be
sure to get the corsets properly placed,
pulling them downward So that they sink
into the waist A hip-padded corset should
be rather long and come well over the hips

hardt, bored by the small size OF the
audience and it's stupidity, resolved TO make
the most OF it, The play was ''Camilie.' -
But instead of spea king the lines as Dumas
wrote them, Sarah made up the play as
she went along. interpolating such Opin-
ions. as from minute to minute. she had
of the audience. She called them unutter-
able things, and in a highly dramatic way.
The innocents applauded these sentiments
vigorously, upon which she called them
something worse.
