the cure of round shoulders:
!. Raise arms before your shout.

2. Stand erect. raise arms before

on heels and drop arms to sides, re-
peat ten times.
8. Raise arms with elbows bent,
shoulders high, bringing palms to.
gether in front Of face, then with ell
bows still bent swing both arms back
ward as far as possible even with the
shoulders, palms locking forward. Be-
peat several times, but not until it be-
comes fs'iguing.
Another simple movement, designed
to bring sbouta correct position of the
shoulder blades, consists in holding q
wand with both hands, throwing the

A correspondent of the Westminstc,

inasmuch as in manuscript IL is Gus

be called "Usa" and its inhabitants
"Usans." He argues that there are

ments in America, the same number
as there are in Europe, and that it is
as absurd to call citizens Of the United
States exclusively Americans as to
have the word Europeans" apply
solely to Spaniards. The correspond.
ent concludes by saying that ''if one
or two of the daily papers would make
use of the word "Usa" when abiding
to that part of America which is COM
prised in the United States, the word
'Usa' would be found 50 convenient

How TO Open n New Book.

"Hold the book with its back on n
smoo'-. or covered table; let the front
board down, then the other, holding
the leaves in one hand while you open
few leaves at the back, then few
at the front, and so 60 on, alternately
opening back and front, gently press
ing open the sections till you reach
the centre OF the volume. Do this
two or three times and you will obtain
the best results. Open the volume
violently or carelessly in any one
place you will likely break the back
and cause a start in the leaves. Never
force the back; if it does not yield to
gentle opening, rely upon it the back
is too tightly or strongly bound.
