HOW TO SIT AND HOW TO STAND

To sit gracefully is an art to be
strongly desired. To drop into a seat
and hold it without awkwardness re-
quires practice. also strong. elastic
muscles in the legs and waist line. To
a few people is given this control Of
the muscles, but the majority of US
have TO learn it, We all have to re-
member that unless the body is elias
tically supported at the center no posi-
ton can be graceful
The art Of rising gracefully is quite
as important as that of sitting easily.
The action should be confined to the
lower limbs and the flexible muscular
uplifting of the body at the ribs. This
is done by drawing the feet back to-
ward the seat, bending the body for
ward, with the head thrown back. I'M
til the weight is over the center of
the body, with forcible pressure on the
ground with the muscles of the feet,
accompanied by an uplifting of the
body and Strengthening Of the knee.
The proper way to stand and offer
the hand in greeting is to hold the
body erect and easy, carry the right
hand forward in a circle toward the
left side, with the palm upward and
parallel with the upper chest Stand
upon the left foot, bearing the weight
upon it. Have the right foot free and
slightly backward. Don't stand with
the feet far apart or the elbows

BREATHING AS AN EXERCISE.

Breathing exercises alone will do
much to improve the general health
of nearly all people. Stand before a
mirror in a room into which a good
supply Of air is coming, and raise the
hands straight over the head, and then
let them drop naturally to the side
without attempting to square the
shoulders. Then, closing the mouth.
take a long, deep breath and hold it
I'm the lungs a few seconds. Repeat
this as often as you can without feel
ing tired Each day try the same ex-
ercise until you can hold breath for
a minute and a minute and a half This
Will increase the exterior of the chest
and develop the interior. Short, quick
gasps are not normal breathing. BY
reducing the respiration to ten a min
ute. for five consecutive minutes three
times day, one will soon acquire full
breathing. This is most important for
weak and siclSly children. As the fresh
air is a great stimulant to the lungs,
when deeply inhaled. one has to be very
careful not to bring on dizziness by
over-eXercising at first. Every person
must be a guide to himself Always
stop exercising before fatigue sets in,
as over exercising and no exercising at
all bring the same results. Never try
the limit of your strength

HISTORY OF APPENDICITIS.

The. entire literature of appendicitis
down to the year 1899 numbers no less
than $500 articles, books, etc, and in
a recent number of the Medical Record
DR.. George NJ. Edebohls, A. NJ. NJ. D..
has most interesting review ON the
History and Literature of Appended
It's He says its early history cannot
be traced, owing to the fact that it was
confused with other diseases. Probably
the first reference to it dates from 1912
As late as 1888 the knowledge of the
existence Of appendicitis was by no
means general. In 1876 cases began to
be reported. The inauguration of mod
ern surgical treatment of appendicular
assesses did not come until 1867. and
The first recorded operation on the ap-
pendlX was planned and executed on
Aug. a, 1883. The early operations
commonly ended in failure. The first
successful removal of the appendix was
performed on May s, 1886. Since that
time the number Of successful opera
tons has greatly increased until, while
now it rs regarded as serious it is by
no means a fatal operation. There is
much popular miSconception as to the
origin of appendicitis, and Dr. Eide
bohlS gives interesting accounts of
some things which have been found in
the vermiform appendix, from which
IL WIZ NC seen llIdI the grape S6tu 10
by no means the cOnlmOnest form of
injury Corproliths have been found by
everybody who has had much to do
with post norton investigations, or
with operations on the appendix. Next
to them pins have been the foreign
bodies most frequently met with.
Other things found are grape seeds,
melon seeds. a chocolate nut, a grain
OF oat, cherry stones, raspberry seeds,
prune seeds, orange seeds, date seeds,
tomato seeds, fruit stones. huckleberry
seeds, blackberry seeds, hazelnut shell,
a piece of chestnut, peanuts, hair, bris
tie, a glaciers point of zinc, a globule
of solder, a gelatine capsule, a piece of
bone, a piece of screw nail, rifle car
fridge. and the fin of a fish. This pa
per also shows that per cent of all
women have appendicitis, and they are
a very little more liable to the disease
than men

soME FACTS ABOUT HAIR.

Badness IS far less common among
red-hcaded people than among their
differentiated neighbors. The ordinary
crop on the head of Q red-haireda person
is about % 200 hairs. Ordinary dark hair
is far finer and more than three dark
hairs would generally occupy the space
of a red 10000 being about the average
crop. Fair-haired people are still better
off. coo to 10000 being quite an or
binary crop Of hairs on the head of a
fair man or woman. It has been stated
that if the hairs on the head OF fair
haired person could he plated together,
they would make a rope strong enough
to support a weight something like
eighty tons or Of 500 people This
sounds rather a big statement, but the
strength even Of a single hair is quite
surprising when its fneness is cnnsid-
cred. as any one can test for herself
by seeing the force that must be ex-
pended on breaking it.

PREFERRED FAITH TO MONEY.

William L. Turner, referee in the suit
brought by the New York Life Insur-
and & Trust company, as executor Of
the VIII of Frederick Taylor, who was
a prominent Wall street man up to the
time of his death two years ago, has
handed over to Emmett & Robinson,
counsel for the executor. his decision
in the matter of the construction of the
Will The doubtful point was the be-
quest of $4,000 to Miss Caroline Taylor
Jewell. niece of Mr. Taylor, on condi-
ton that she renounce her allegiance
TO the Catholic church The executor
brought suit in the supreme court for
an adjudication upon this point Vari-
GUS charities which are beneficiaries
under the Will, are parties to the suit
Before Mr.. Taylor's death his niece
was. a Catholic and intended to be a
Sister of Charity. Mr.. Taylor did not
wish that any part of his large fortune
should so to that church. He left to
his wife a large income. and the rest
of his estate was devised to various
charities. In the present suit Miss
Jewell takes no part. She is not rep
resented by counsel. AT present she is

WHY MEN REMAIN BACHELORS

At a well-known club the subject of
"Why men remain bachelors" came up
for discussion. The majority Of those
present came to the conclusion that our
eXtravagant style of living. as com
pared with that Of former times, is one
of the effective influences. The cost of
supporting a wife and family is much
larger than it used to be, and this fea-
ture Of the matter often causes hesita-
ton on both sides. The young people
are disinclined to start in an humble
way and gradually improve their sit
uation. They want all that their par
entg have, without waiting and striv-
ing for it.
CHILDREN'S MEATS.
However slight the meal may be. it
should be fixed as to time and guam
tity. these being determined by the
hours Of the family meals and by the
amount the child then eats. The kind
II food should also be as carefully
looked to as at other meals. Promis-
cuOUs and irregular eating should not
be allowed Children often ask for food
apparently to fill the gaps between
games or when no better amusement
than eating presents itself. And the
child's demands are often supplied with
no greater telligence-biscuits, frag-
ments Of cake. or whatever comes
handy" in the pantry are given to it.
So far as one can judge. it is more
frequently these irregularities than the
food taken at meal times that cause
the frequent indigestion of childhood.
When a child is old enough to have
his meals with the adults, the between
meals" should be very light; a little
milk a biscuit. or a slice of bread and
butter is usually enough. OF course,
different diet is required for children
of different ages

Long coats, completely covering the

handsome when trimmed with broad

There was not a great amount of

and the interest centered upon the tail

The Ohio county bosses were nearly

there would probably have been at

The project Of the Pittsburg, Cannons-

A great deal of money and time have
been expended in the venture. It was

initial steps in the enterprise were TAX
