THE WOMAN WHO sTooPs.
How She Can Be Cured of This Un-
 graceful Habit.

How She Can Be Cured of This Un-
 graceful Habit.
 The woman who stoops is rare, thank goodness, but she does exist as an eye sore to beholders and a discomfort to herself Yes, 1 am convinced that the stopping woman is quite uncomfort- able and would remedy her defect if she knew how. Weakness of the sys- tenn is sometimes responsible for stepping shoulders, but carelessness is the great cause. Poring over books, writing for hours at a time and neg lect to aid a defective vision with glasses are the main causes.
 The cure should begin with tie pill low. Use one small, fiat pillow at night or dispense entirely with the lux ury of a head rest. Bear the infrmity in mind and walk erectly and sit with the shoulders where they should be. Expand the chest and keep the eyes on a level with peoples faces. Practice walking about the room with book balanced on the head and hold the chin up when reading, with the book placed on a level with the face. Have the eyes tested occasionally, and if you need glasses procure them at once Often the trouble is but temporary and the use of glasses for a few weeks or months will remedy the eye trouble.

Raise for Protection. V
 On the departure of the spaniards the inhabitants of some of the Sulu Islands, notably Palawan, Balbabac and'Kulion, applied for British protec- tion, and Capt. Pfort of the British steamer Labuan, visiting Palawan in response to the urgent request of the natives, handed to the latter a British flag, to be used in case of emergency
 On the matter being reported to Sir Charles Mitchell, governor of the Straits, and subsequently, to the for eign office, the latter telegraphed to Singapore orders that the British flag should at once be hauled down, and ac. cord!ng to advices just received in Lon- don, H. M, s. Archer was dispatched to Port Royalist, Palawan, to haul down the flag. From the report of Capt. Pfort 1t appears that it WAS only on seeing the really critical state of affairs that he gave the flag to the na- tiyes. The Labuan called at Port Roy dist, Palawan, on February 1, and found the people in great consterna- tion. The Spaniards had left three months previously, saying that the Americans would take over the gov ernment in three days. On leaving, the Spaniards turned adrift, without food, clothes or money, all the native sol diers. The convicts, too, were set at liberty, and all arms and ammunition having been removed the people were entirely at the mercy of the disbanded soldiers and freed convicts, who loot ed and pillaged the whole country On his arrival Capt. Pfort was asked by the head man there if the governor of Sandakan would afford them protec- tion, and he, in reply, suggested that a letter in that sense should be dis patched to the governor of Sandakan. Capt Pfort also handed to them a Brit ish merchant ensign with instructions to inform anyone seeking to molest them that the people were under Brit ish protection. He also gave to them this letter: Be it known unto all men that I Captain Pfort, master of the Brit sh steamer Labuan, having arrived at this port and found the people de- sircus of British protection, have this day given to the president Of this port a British flag. which I have instructed him 10 use and call upon all men to re- spect the same until such time as Her Britannic Majest Queen Victoria, notifies her pleasure regarding the pro- lection of this port and the Island of Palawan in general" After leaving Port Royalist the Labuan called at Curaray and Jilandak ports. on the northwest coast of Palawan, and found a similar condition of things, the people being in terror in the mountains Pro- ceeding to Kulion, an island seventy miles north of Palawan. Capt. Pfort found local republic set up under Aguinaldo. From this place he took ou board his steamer number of refu- gees. The dispatch from Lord Sails bury to Sir Charles Mitchell in refer ence to Capt. Pforts action simply or dered the flag to be hauled down, and added that the British government dis approved of Capt. Pfort's action. Her majesty government stated that Pala- wan and the adjacent islands, being portions of the Philippines, became by virtue of conquest, American territory.

spectators.
