TO DEVELOP THE FIGURE.

Ordinary women who are too busy TO
spend much time on exercises which
beautify the figure will do we'll to prac-
tice the following method for de-
velopment and good health: Stand
with the shoulders we'll thrown back
and fill the lungs slowly with air, hold
ing your breath as long as you possibly
can. Keep your mouth closed, and al
low the air to escape slowly through
your nose. This is easy to do, and the
effects are sure and lasting.
Another exercise is for the arms,
and is quite as simple as the first.
Stretch your arms out in front of you,
clap your hands and then with a sweep
throw them back until you can clap
them at the back as we'll as at the
front.

LITTLE ITALY"
Jacob Riis Describes Feast-Day IL
the Italian Quarter in New York.

When Governor Roosevelt was presi-
dent of the New York police board, he
attended a saint's-day celebration in
little Italy," and Jacob Riis, who
went with him, thus describes the
scene in the Century:
The rumble of trucks and the slam
ming of boxes up on the corner ceased
for the moment, and in the hush that
fell upon Mulberry street snatches OF
familiar tunes, punctuated by deter
mined drum, struggled into the dock.
Around the corner came band of
musicians with green cock-feathers in
hats set rakishly over fierce, sunburnt
faces. A raft of boys walked in front,
abreast OF two bored policemen, step
ping in time to the music Four men
carried a silk-fringed banner with
evident pride. Behind them a strange
procession toiIed along: women with
babies at the breast and dragging little
children fat and prosperous padrones
carrying their canes like slaves of
office and authority; young men out for
a holiday; old men with lives of hard
ship and toll written in their halting
gait and worn and crooked frames;
lastly, a cripple on crutches, who
strove manfully to keep up. The Of
ficials in Police Headquarters looked
out of the windows and viewed the
show indifferently. 1t was an every
day spectacle This one had wandered
around the block thrice that day. Pres
4dent Roosevelt (of the Police Board),
who had come out to go to lunch, was
much interested. To him it was new.
where do you suppose they are go
ing?" he said, surveying the process
sion from the steps. He was told
that some Italian village saint was
having his day celebrated around in
Elizabeth street, and he expressed a
desire to see how it was done. So we
fell in, he and I, and followed the band
too, at a little distance.
1t led us to a ramshackle old house
in Elizabeth street, and halted there
in front of a saloon with the appealing
announcement on a swinging sign:
<'Vino, Vino, di California, di Italia.
And Kind of Whisky for Sale" The
band and the fat men went into the
saloon. We followed the women,
the children, and the scraggy ones
through a gap in the brick wall that
passed for an alley to the back yard,
and there came upon the village of
Auletta feasting it's patron saint.
1t was a yard no longer, but
temple. All the sheets of the tene-
ment had been stretched so as to cover
the ugly sheds and outhouses. Against
the dark rear tenement the shrine of
the saint had been erected, shutting it
altogether out of sight with a wealth

WASHING DISHES.

Of all the many duties that fall to
woman's lot that of washing dishes is,
without an exception, most abhorred.
Yet there is no reason why it should be
so. 1t is not a dirty, sloppy work I'M
less it be made so by carelessness, and
there is no reason why the hands
should be ruined in the process.
The chief things required to make
dish washing a pleasure are care, order
and plenty of hot water and soap. The
dishes when removed from the table
should not be piled up in the scullery
in an indiscriEninate mass-pots, ket-
ties, pans, glassware, silver and plates.
Let each of it's kind be put together.
All cooking utensils should have been
replaced upon the range and filled with
water, and thus allowed to soak until
the time comes for cleaning them.
There should be a receptacle in which
to place all the waste scraps as they
are scraped from the plates. They
should be then piled UP neatly to one
side. The most important thing in
dish washing is to have plenty of hot
water, use sufficient soap, and have a
dishcloth or mop and drying towels in
ample supply.
Begin with the glassware and follow
with the tea things, then the spoons,
knives and forks, and so ON, till all are
washed and set UP neatly to drain.
When drying do not try to make one
towel do it all When it becomes too
wet to dry well, put it on one side and
take a fresh one.

JOHN BROWN RAIDERS.
Bodies of Seven of Them Exhumed and
Sent North

Captain e. P. Hall and DR.. Thomas
r. Featherstonbaugh, both of Wash
ington, have returned from Harpers
Ferry, where they have been exhuming
the Bodies of seven of John Brown S
raiders. The bodies have been sent to
buried near the grave of the leader
under whom they fought and died. Of
the other three raiders who were killed
at Harpers Ferry, the remains of one,
Watson Brown, were recovered and
buried near John Browns body in 1882.
Where the other two are, no one can
tell. They were taken from Harpers
Ferry after the fight and were used in
medical college for anatomical pur-
poses. Watson Browns body was
taken away for the same purpose, but
it was recovered by Mrs. Brown many
years afterward. The two whose
whereabouts are unknown are Jere-
miah G.. Anderson and Lewis S. Leary,
the latter negro.
A monument is to be erected over
the graves at North Elba. The bodies
recovered are those of Oliver Brown,
Stewart Taylor, w. H. Leeman, Will
lam Thompson, Dauphin o. Thompson,
John H. Kagi and Dangerfeld Newly.
A fragment of the bearskin overcoat
in which, according to tradition, Oliver
Brown was buried, was found in one
of the graves, and two lead pencils
dropped from it when it was taken up.

We have to chronicle one of the saddest Of occur
ences that has come under eyes in long time
certain man had been the president of large
gregation for many years. 1t his pride, and he
had been considered worthy to preside over its
agement for quite a long period Of time. All went
we'll until there that he was about to
become bankrupt. The election took place, and
this gentleman, whose devotion had been applauded
by frequent reelection was defeated. He
at heart. The impending crash came, but all of his
losses in business did to him great the
loss of the presidency of his congregation. He was
compelled to that he had never been president.
The members had only elected his bank-account.
Can You blame this if he despise that congrega
ton, and be tempted to proclaim it all farce? We
do not say that this ideal president. 1t
is possible that he not, but it appears strange
that this was found out only when he reduced
to poverty. Is this religion or travesty on it?
We have long commended for the right of
man in congregational affairs. There is no reason
that rich man may not make good president, but
the fact of his poverty ought not to bar him from
that office Of trust Intact there many who have
gathered other riches than can be counted who

those who have shown certain 'minting" ability.
