WATCH THE SHOULDERS.
They Should BE Level, Large, Erect,
Insensibly Descending and Del
icately Poised.

A common form of neglect is the
shoulders, which are allowed in child
hood to grow lopsided, and take on an
ungraceful stoop. Often they are
crowded so by ill-fitting corsets that
they seriously displace the collar bone.
Instead of such malformation they
should be level, large, erect, insen-
sibly descending, and well poised,
making the waist appear round and
small. Massage and oils will do much
to tone up the neglected shoulders,
and the skin can. be whitened and
made beautifully firm by this paste,
which is of Spanish origin: Beat the
whites of four eggs in rose water,
adding a few grains of alum. Beat un
til the paste is thick. Spread the
composition on a layer of old linen
and apply to the neck and shoulders
at night. French ladies are so ex-
pressive with their shoulders that they
give them every advantage, as their
''shrug" is part of French converse
ton. An authority. on the subject
says: A difficult habit to break is that
easy, lazy manner of sagging down
when sitting, which, in addition to
sleeping on high pillows, makes so
many round shoulders and sunken
chests. People should always watch
themselves, and when they discover
the fault straighten up; but it is SO
easy to settle down in this way after
years of indulgence in the habit that
many get discouraged and prefer to
grow crooked. Let me warn you, Ia
dies, to be eternally vigilant in &C.
quiring good sitting posture. The
joints you possess were given to you
to bend with, and it is almost q crime
to sag down as if you had no lungs
or other vital organs. Hold in the
backbone, throw the chest out, bend
from the hips only, and SO contribute
to the perfection of your figure, your
beauty and your health.-St. Louis Re-
public.

REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Miss Fannie w. Tunis0n Sews, Paints
and Embr0iders with Her Teeth
and Tongue.

It has often been said that a woman's
most trustworthy weapon is her tongue,
but it has been left to Fannie w. Tuni-
son, of Sag Harbor, L. l., to show the
world what very useful organ the
glossal organ really is, says Philadel-
phia Times correspondent.
Thirty years ago Miss Tunison was
born, and, to the grief of her parents,
she was found to be suffering from q
form of infantile paralysis which total
ly incapacitated her from using either
her upper or lower extremities. Her
parents were only poor farmers, in a
small way of business, and Fannie's
affection not only weighed heavily upon
their minds, but upon their pockets as
we'll.
But Miss Tunison has turned her
shortcomings to good account. De-
prived of the use of her limbs, she gets
along perfectly well with her-tongue,
and paints, embroiders and writes q
better hand-or rather mouth-than
most people who are blessed with the
use of their ten digits. She makes more
money, too, than the majority of her
fellow-townsmen, for last year she
earned over $1,000 by executing orders
for pictures given to her by summer
visitors at Sag Harbor.
Miss Tunison's work is of no mean or
der. The pictures that she paints COM
pare favorably with any amateur art
lists, and she paints with considerable
quickncss. So proficient is she at WELD
ing the brush with her tongue that she
excels at copying, and she possesses
several canvases that would bring cred
it to any copyist. She is especially good
at painting pictures of the Montauk
Point lighthouse, and the little picture,
which takes her less than 20 minutes to
paint, she sells to visitors for the price
of one dollar.
But it is not only as an artist that
Miss Tunison shines. She is expert at
fancy work as well. and. wonderful as
1t may seem, she is perfectly able to
thread her needle and use the scissors.

HOSPITAL INCIDENT.
Curious. Way in Which an Ignorant
Foreign Woman Interpreted
Simple Prescription.

Doctors and nurses who have TO deal
with foreigners in hospitals know by
experience how careful they must be in
the use of words when giving directions
about medicine, otherwise the most or
binary instructions would be apt to be
misunderstood, with probably fatal re-
suits. The head physician of a we'll
known charitable organization in this
city recently had a curious experience
of this kind. A woman had brought her
baby for medical attention. 1t was not
really ill, but very much needed daily
application of soap and water. The doc
tor gave the mother some medicine for
the child and then directed her to
wash the baby" To many of the for
eigners the word "bathe" is entirely un,

Feathered Ventrilouui.t..

Many birds form their sounds with.
out opening their bills. The pigeon is
a well-known instance of this. It's
cooling can be distinctly heard, although
it does not open its bill. The call is
formed internally in the throat and
chest, and is only rendered audible by
resonance. Similar ways may be OBJ
served in many birds and other animals.
The clear, loud call of the cuckoo, ac-
cording to one naturalist, is the res
onance of note formed in the bird.
The whirring of the snipe, which be-
trays the approach of the bird to the
hunter, is an act of ventriloquism.
Even the nightingale has certain notes
which are produced internally, and
which are audible while the bill is
closed.

A LITTLE GENTLEMAN.

She stood at the crowded crossing,
A woman crippled and old,
Whose thin and faded garments
A pitiful story told.
On her arm a basket of apples
That no one cared to buy.
Il must sell 'em or go hungry"
She thought. with weary sigh.
Maybe If I'd cross over
I'd have better luck" she said:
But the crowded street before her
Filled her with thought of dread.
Tain't safe for a poor old cripple"
She said, with another sigh,
But I've got to take my apples
Where somebody wants to buy"
She passed by the curbstone, fearing
To trust herself in the tide
or life that was coming and going.
"Deary me, 1t seems SO wide,
An so many horses an wagons,
I know I'd get scart! she said,
AN II 1 got hurt"-with a shiver-
I'D good deal better be dead"
See that apple-woman, Tommy:
SHE'S afraid to cross the street"
Cried boy who was going schoolward
To friend he CHANGED to meet.
She'll get scared and drop her basket,
And there'l be no end of fun.
Hurry up. hurry up. old-woman;
Grab your applicant and rum"
HUSH" said the other, sternly,
And went to the woman's side.
II you want to cross, I'll help you,
IT you'll trust me for a guide.
Let me carry your basket for you;
Don't fear, but keep close to me,
And you'll soon be over safely"
He told her cheerily.
With some one to guide her footsteps,
The crossing was quickly made.
II knew could trust you." she told him
$50 didn't get afraid.
God bless you for your kindness
To a poor old thing like me.
If I knew your mother. I'd tell her
How proud she ought to be-"
I fancy that this lads mother
Must know Of his kindly deeds.
And is glad that the boy she loves so
Takes thought of others needs.
Such boys are the ones to trust in
For the men that must be had,
For the father of the true man
Is the true and manly lad.

JOCKO AT THE DESK.

Arrived, took on passengers and
freight, and was off again in few
hours.
The merchant was sadly disap-
pointed, and the monkey would surely
have had its ears cuffed, if no more,
when startling news arrived. Within
six hours after the steamer had put
to sea she struck rock and went
down with all hands. Not one sin
gle person out of the hundred or more
on board were saved. Had the mer-
chant taken passage on her he would
have been lost with the rest. It did
not take him long to figure out that
the monkey had saved his life and
fortune by eating that telegram up,
and instead of being punished Jocko
was forgiven and made hero. They
even had his pictures in the papers,
and when finally taken to Batavia
crowds called to see him, and he was
hailed as the telegraph monkey"
He went to Germany with his master,
and am sorry to saw that the
change of climate brought about his
death within q year.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

The Ripple /. Ia Mode.

There is not an inch of crinoline
used in the new skirts; there is not
an ounce of starch put in the petit
coat, but everything around the foot
must ripple and billow and curl and
swirl until one feels as if one were
following in the wake of steamship
when going behind the fashionably
dressed woman!

Several young men belonging to good
families in Pacucha decided to greet the
end of the world announced by Prof.
Falb in royal manner. They, there
fore, hired three fiat cars which they
adorned with profusion of Chinese
lanterns. The first car was occupied by
a splendid piano which was played by
the well-known Prof. Arturo Jiminez;
the second car was occupied by an estu-
1iantina, and the third by an orchestra
of well-known amateurs. These cars
were followed by long procession of
cyclists with their wheels adorned and
all carrying torches. The effect of this
procession, as it traversed the streets,
was very pretty. Flowers, confetti
and serpentines rained on the merry
makers from the balconies as they
passed.-Mexican Herald.

JOCKO WAS FORGIVEN.
How a Monkeys Playfulness Saved
His Masters Life and Made
Him q Great Hero.

A German merchant, who had long
done business in the island of Java,
at length made up his mind to wind
up his business affairs and return to
his old home in Hamburg. 1t took
him a whole year to get ready, but
the time finally came when he was
free. He intended to go home by a
certain steamer and to take with him
large amount of money and to ship
a guam tity of valuable goods.
The merchant teiegraphed to Ba-
tavia to find just what day the steam
er would arrive at his port, and his
telegram was replied to, but when
it was delivered at his office he was
out, and it was laid on his desk. He
had for years owned a pet monkey,
and though the animal had never de-
stroyed paper before on this occa-
sion he actually ate the telegram up.
He was chained up and promised a
whipping, and the merchant sent off
another telegram. A storm had
broken the wires, however, and it did
not get through for a day or two.
L was then too late. The steamer
