Mr.. Lewis introduced the ordinance

SHOULDER STRAPS.
Their Eject Upon the Form Is Very
Bad.

Their Eject Upon the Form Is Very
Bad.
"a number of women have hopeless
ly deformed their shoulders by tho
wearing of shoulder straps" said q
physical culture enthusiast the other
day to class of ladies. THE weight of
the skirts on the Straps has worn little
burrows in the heavy muscles of the
shoulders. Just notice the shape of
women who wear narrow straps. OF
course, it is not observable when they
are dressed in ordinary costume, but
i'll evening dress l can pick out every
one in the room who is in the habit of
wearing straps.
"The proper thing is a fitted waist
with heavy material set in around the
armholes and down the sides as stars
or strengthening pieces. To these are
attached the buttons or hooks that sus-
tain the weight of the skirt.
ut is absolute suicide to hitch these
things upon the ordinary corset. That
throws the whole of the weight upon
the body below the waist and is the
cause of more distress than one can
well imagine. There are great many
people who could not be induced to
put shoulder straps on growing chill
dren; indeed, the waist is in every re-
spect more desirable. 1t need not be-
high in the neck, but should cover the
curve of the shoulders so that the
weight of the garments may rest even
ly over them.

field, and the time is coming when the
possibility of developing the figure of

the development of the mind."-N. Y.

The saloon is an agent for the cor
ruption of the morals of the home Of
every man who is a patron of it.
THE czarina has recently issued All
edict forbidding the ladies of her court
TO smoke in her presence or even to
come near her with the odor of tobacco
about them.
FIVE saloons in Chicago near the
''Nickel-Plate" shops are reported o
have gone out of business since the or
der went into effect forbidding en-
ployes to visit such places.
A LITTLE boy, while engaged in de-
fining words, made mistake which was
not at all mistake. He said: "a de1a-
sgogue is a vessel that holds beer, wine,
gin, whisky or any other intoxicating
liquor" He was probably thinking of
a demijohn, but he hit the truth Just
the same.
Is THERE an inebriate neurosis? IF
the doubters will study the inebriates
who appear in the police courts and
jails and the inmates of asylums the
answer will be clear and unmistakable.
The defective degenefates both in ap-
pearance and history furnish abundant
facts, far more impressive than any
theories, however well presented.

He had occasion to visit the metropo-

DRESSING THE HAIR.
Some Sensible Suggestions for the Young
Ladies'.

Ladies'.
The prettiest way to arrange your
hair? Especially if it is very long, very
thick, and a most beautiful color, yet
cannot be worn hanging down in braids.
because you are too tall for any thing so
childish, nor fastened up in a graceful
Psyche knot at the back of the head,
quite near the neck, because it is too
heavy, and comes tumbling down at in
convenient seasons. Lovely hair, but
an embarrassment of riches, is it not?
If it were my hair, and 1 were the
dear young girl who finds it bother
and a burden, l would coil it up on top
OF my head and wear it like crown. l
wouldn't mind its having the effect of
making me look taller, and l would
stand up very straight, and look as tall
as l could. In my opinion height is
beauty, and l never care about girls
being tall, except to admire her. Tall
girls must mind that they carry them
selves well, and do not stoop nor crane
their head forward as if they had lost
something and were perpetually look
ing for it. You remember Tennyson's
picture, do you not, a word picture such
as only poet could paint:
"a daughter of the gods,
Divinely tall, and most divinely fair"
If the coronal effect were unbecom-
ing. or gave feeling of weight on top
of my head, then would braid the hair
in several strands, and mass it all over
the back of the head. l would simply
part it in the middle, and avoid fringes,
and bangs, and little curls, crimps, and
other attempts at decoration in front.
When hair has natural wave or ripple
it is very pretty, and should have it's
way, but straight hair is pretty too, and
girls should be satisfied to wear their
hair in the style nature intended for
them.-Harpers' Round Table.

tie Negro Servant.
In the south most of the servants
were negroes. Among ours was lit
tie mulatto girl C'nut-brown maid
she called herself) whose chief attrac-
ton to me was her enthusiasm for the
thcater.
One night in desperation went to
her while she was washing dishes in
the kitchen and there unfolded all nv
hopes. 1t was to her l first acted, and
she gave me my first applause. The
clapping of those soapy, steaming
hands seemed TO me a veritable tri-
umph.
Believing that tragic manner alone
would sufficiently impress the situa-
ton on the "nut-brown maid" began
with hollow voice and much furrow-
ing of the brow: "JuIi, wilt thou fol-
low and assist me when quit my child
hoods home to walk in the path of
Siddons, Kemble and Booth?" "Oh,
Miss Mamie, you kin count on dis pus-
son, TO- de Lor' you kin! Why, my
stars, what boss actor you is! But
you mus low me to call you maw,"
and in trice she was gone.
A few moments later she reentered
the kitchen with my mother, who was
greatly surprised by my performance
in the fourth act of The Lady of Ly,
ons," which could not have been acted
in a more appropriate part of the
house. She, in turn, called the critic
of the family, DR.. Griffin, who, likewise,
was astonished, and made my heart
beat with joy by saying: You'll make
a good actress some day. Your scene
has thrilled me, and l would rather
have rough work and good thrill than
any amount of artistic work without
it."
Spurred on by such encouragement

and it is a family pet. When it lost it's
teeth recently it's owner, according to
the story, had the local dentist make
the animal full set of teeth, and they
are said to be a perfect working sue

The old notion that southern wom-
en- are languid, feeble folk ought to be
dispelled by the act of four women in
suburb of Macon, Ga. A house took
fire during the night and the neighbors
gathered to help the inmates in saving
their effects. Four women carried
large upright piano from the parlor all
the way out into the middle of the
street unassisted.
"A fox and hunter together stalked
partridge near Tyson, VT, the other
day, but each unknown to the other.
The bird aIighted in an apple tree be-
hind the barn, and the hunter tiptoed
around one side of the barn and brought
the bird down. But as the bird dropped
the fox, coming round the other side of
the barn, seized it and was off with his
dinner before the hunter could appre-
ciate what had happened.
The tail of the crawfish serves that

of the tail the animal can retire from

OF adaptation to it's situation, for by
means of its tail it can withdraw into
its hole with such swiftness rs in an
instant to place it out of danger.

where. The naturalists say it is, of
course, not strange that there should
be an albino moose, resulting from a
freak of nature, as white deer and other
albino game animals are not uncom-
mon. But white moose are a great

There is in large number of in

DR.. Wood is authority for the state

TENTS to come out of shock you will b.,
