Endeavor to Avoid STOPPING.

Many growing girls, especially those
tall for their age, are inclined to stoop,
and well-meaning persons often adyo-
cate the use of braces Or shoulder
straps as means Of correcting the
tendency. The braces may force ap
upright carriage, but they do not give
the wearer any means of maint tanning
it, since they prevent the exercise Of
those muscles which should be trained
to produce an erect figure. Any exer-
else which strengthens the muscles of
the back and shoulder will aid in cor
recting this defect. Old-fashioned
mothers used to drill their STOPPING
daughters to walk with a plate carried
on their heads, and this is really a
good practice. High pillows and very
soft mattresses are blamed as an aid
in producing this defect, and without
doubt fiat, rather hard bed, with low
pillow, is preferable for growing child
rem. "A shopping awkward walk de-
tracts SO much from the appearance
that there is every reason to avoid it.,
apart from the bad effect it exercises
on the physical condition.

Vega. Many of these people still hold
title. to valuable property, in the Baca-

many years ago. A large number Of
British Honduras and they are already
looking up their deeds and title pre-

The villa Of Bacalar, which was
founded by the Spaniards, has been be-
sieged various times by the Mayas, and
it was only after desperate resist
ance on the part of Jose Dolores Ze-
tent that it finally fell into their hands.
There are still ruins of the ancient fort
and rusty cannon employed in the last
defense against the Indians. The lat

power to obstruct navigation, telling
trees and casting huge powders into
the streams. The water ways have
been cleared during the present cam

the Privilege.
Mrs Ellen q. Sargent, widow OF the
late Senator Aaron a. Sargent. Of Cali.
fornia, is determined to exercise the
right of suffrage. 4 :. AS a right, i de-.
mand to have my name placed on the
register of voters, and that / be per
smitted to cast my ballot the same as
any other citizen, is the way in which.
she recently presented her claim In the
superior court of San Francisco She
backed UP this demand for the fran
@chise by securing a writ Of manGate
requiring the registrar of voters and
the board of election commissioners to
appear before Judge Sloss Of the SUI
perior court and show cause why they
refuse to recognize Mrs. Sargent as a
legal voter in that city. The record Of
the board of election commissioners
shows that Mrs. Sargent's demand for
registration was formally made and
the members of the board unanimously
rejected her application on the ground
that it is contrary to the constitution
and laws of the state Of California. =
In support of this they point to the
provisions of section i of article OF
the California constitution, which
says: Every male citizen of the Unit
ed States. = shall be entitled to
vote at all elections" etc. III 1 (.
"But the election commissioners
have cited only one section of the con-
stitution, and ignore the fact that there
is another section which says that the
political power of the state is inner
ent in the people, and that means all
the people, Mrs. Sargent says. She
deduces that if the constitution had
not meant all the people it would have
said political power is inherent in half
the people, OR the masculine part Of
the people. She takes the position that
women are *'the people" as we'll as
men. No matter which way the case
is decided, an appeal will be taken to
the supreme court.-Chicago Chron-
