THE WELIrBRED WOMAN.
Gated by the Way She Sits
Down and Arises.

"My DEAR" said the old lady, ut is
worse than crime; it is i'll bred"
Nothing points cut the well-bred
woman more quickly than the posi-
ton she takes when she sits down.
The stamp of vulgarity is marked upon
the woman who sits with her knees
spread far apart; lack of refinement
is shown by knees crossed offensive
ly; lack of ease by stiff and constrained
positions of the shoulders; general
carelessness and Indifference by the
very common fault of "sitting in the
shoulders" that is, of doubling the
spine so that the upper rather than
the lower part of it rests against the
back of the chair. 80 = +
The body should be placed well back
upon the seat, chair, sofa or whatever
it may be. The feet should rest on the
floor, one somewhat in front of the
other, because it is easier to rise from
that position. The head must be kept
well up and the chest poised slightly
forward.
The lower part of the spine may be
u CSsSo the due VI lAC SA1AAS
but if one, after sitting awhile, should
need to rest little more, the shoulders
may also touch upon the same support.
The hands should remain as they nat
urally fall from this position, hang
ing at the sides, or they may be placed
easily over the arms or back of the
chair, or allowed to lie reposefuiiy on
the lap.
To rise properly from correct sit.
ting position there should be several
preparatory movements.
The chest is first poised far forward
and at the same time the foot is drawn
back under the seat. The foot drawn
in should be the one opposite from
the direction to be taken in starting
up.
AS you rise throw the weight firmly
upon the foot in the rear. AS the body
comes to its full height change the
weight to the forward foot, SO that
the other foot merely touches the
floor very lightly. This brings you to
standing position, ready to walk easily
in the direction you are going.
Ugly sitting positions and awkward
movements in rising will disappear if
these principles are followed.-N. y.

RUNNING BIRD FAMILY.
cir. John burroughs Talks interest
inSly Oh Its Housekeeping and
Various Cares,

The story of a humming-bird's house
keeping ana family cares is told in Coun-
try Life, Ky one who knows all about
birds, join Burroughs.
The old bird was very busy and pre-
occupied. First we saw her gathering
lichens from a summerhouser roof; next
we found by watching her, the half
finished Lest in the little fork of the
apple linD only waist high from the
ground. It was one of the prettiest
things I Lave ever seen. The nest was
a little larger than half an egg shell,
and so carefully covered with moss
and lichens that the whole. thing
looked exactly like knot on a moss
grown limb. 1t was lined inside with

THE EGGsHELL ARCH.
1t II Really Fine Structure, When
Made According to Directions
Here Given.

If you boys and girls want to have
lets OF run just save all the eggsheils
you can and make an eggshell tri-
un,phal arch. as shown in the pic
ture. This is not little bit of q
toy arch, as perhaps some of you
might imagine, but a fine large
structure, limited only in size to the
size Ct the pasteboard box you are
able to procure. It is the easiest
sort of an arch to make, too, and so
beautiful, especially by candle light,
that you will all be surprised at the
result of your eggshell architecture
When you get ready to start to
work cut down your pasteboard box
with penknife until it is only
about three inches deep all around.
Then fasten this firmly in an upright
position to the end of the table, or

dandelion down until it was like silk.
The two pearly white eggs, scarcely
larger than peas, appeared before the
nest was quite complete. In two
weeks one of them disappeared, and in
its pl .ce, down in the bottom of the
nest, was young humming bird. The
next day the other little one was
Matched. The two birds were odd sam
pies of bird life. They looked for all
the world exactly Like half-drowned
honey bees! From the day they were
Matched the old bird was busy par
ent. Often she would be gone for an
hour among the flowers, though gen
orally but half an hour or 20 minutes.
On returning she would perch for mo-
ment on dead apple tree limb, then
fly to the nest and gently wake her
young by prodding them with her bill.
She fed.them by thrusting her bill into
their upturned threats SO far and so
vigorously that you felt sure they
would be killed. AS the young grew,
they would hold MP their heads with
out being first awakened, and when
we came near they made low, hum
ming sound. like that. of a highly
pitch ed tuning fork. Whether this was
in supplication for food or in alarm
we could not determine. NM
II was four weeks before the young
humming birds could fly. 1t takes a
robin bat two. AS. they grew their
breasts crowded out the top OF the
nest until it almost broke. The last
week in the nest fea theirs came out rap
idly ON them, and their bills, which had
hitherto been very short, grew with
surprising speed.
One day, the larger of the two birds
jumped out, and instead of SPRAYING
round screaming for every cat within
a mile to hear, as ayoung robin would
have done, he sailed easily and silently
into the top Of the tree, and from his
perch quietly surveyed the world that
had so suddenly become his. The next
day the other bird did the same. They
did not call or hesitate or first flap
their wings or crawl timidly out on .
branch. There was no air OF expert
ment. They had the mien OF veterans
from the start.

MAMMOTH CAVE HOTEL.
The Nam who Runs It Is Not Permit
ted to Manage the Cave ut the
Same Time.

John Croghan, the late owner of
Mammoth cave, Kentucky's great nat
ural curiosity, was of the opinion that
the cave and his hotel near it were bust
ness enterprises of too large proper
tions to be managed by one man; he
therefore provided in his will that they.
should not be placed under the same
management. This curious provision
has made considera Bile trouble for the
to abide by the viii, says the New York
Sun.
The dispute has at last been settled
and the will of the late owner will De
carried out to the letter. The hotel
has been leased to one man and an
other will be placed in charge of the
cave.
; z The hotel near the entrance to this
famous show place is one of the most
curious structures in the country. In
point of architecture there is no other
that can be c1assed with it.
When visitors began to come to the
cave, about 1912, in numbers sufficient
to make it likely that money might
be made by supplying them with shell
ter and food. log cabin was erected
for their entertainment. When the
number of visitors outgrew these ear
lest accomm oda tons another log cab
in was put up, and in time it wa neces-
sary to erect third, fourth and so
on. I'll. lz
Then a main edifce was built con.
tanning the Office, parlor and ballroom
that are essential to any first-rate re-
sort; but the log cabins are still as
much part of the hotel as ever, and
to make them seem more like por-
ton of the common ihostelry they were
all connected by long and delightful
veranda.i 81 *}@

Misfortunes came when Rachel and
her sister, Lady Troubridge-she

II and 10 years old. Their mother
brought the two to London and
sought to exc out the modest living

managed to give her, by placing her
daughters in milliner's shop. a
Luck came first in the person of
Adeline, duchess of Bedford. The
dowager duchess bought a hat one
day of an exceedingly pretty girl

and as she wore it continued mean

who sold it to her. She looked into
the shop another day and still an

adopt her. -

rage was Indirectly the result OF
her sisters going into the haugty
Bedford family. The late duke was
devoted to the child, whom he found
in his old age.
It was, however, as comparative
" dowerless bride that Miss Quincy
came to the young earl. of Dudley.
Her position in society was secure,
her beauty and charm universally
recognized. She was and is known
as particularly vivacious and at
tractive woman with great gift for
entertaining. Lord Dudley had
money enough and to spare. He
married the girl with whom he hap
