KISSED THE CONDUCTOR.
Who Remembered That He Had Once
"a Little Girl, So His Tears
Were Excusable.

n hak"r's dozen of little tots-an
girls-stood under the bridge, in the
charge of a young woman, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. Evidently they were
orphans waiting for a a to bear
them to the sea shore. In little white
bonnets and clean calico dresses,
they stood with cheeks flushed with
excitement and their eyes sparkling
with anticipated pleasures. They
looked as fragrant and were as pretty
as the peeping rosebuds in June. BY
the by the proper car came along
and the young woman in charge halt
ed it. The Indifferent conductor
turned with callous face to see what
had INSTRUCTED the passage Of his
car, and caught a glimpse of the
happy and expectant row. His face
%softened; he was off his platform in
a twinkling, busy with lifting the
little ones into place, all the passen-
gers looking on with interest and
smiles, and some assisting. AS the
last little tot was lifted into place
with a heavy sigh of satisfaction,
she lifted her little hand to pat the
cheek of the conductor, and her
crumpled rose leaf mouth to be kiss
ed. Everyone smiled sympathetic
cally. Then they saw the eyes of the
conductor fill, two tears coursing
down his cheeks. They smiled some
more with little lip quivers. Awk-
wardly and hurriedly the conductor,
brushing the tears away, sought his
eyrie, and when there said out
loud: "I'm a big stiff, I know, but the
grass hasn't grown over a little n
Of my own in Cypress Hills, yet"

daughters grew to be young IN
Misfortunes came when Rachel and
her sister, Lady Troubridge-shs
who writes plays-were respectively
II and 10 years old. Their mother
brought the two to London and
sought to exc out the modest living
which her husband, still in Norfolk.
managed to give her, by placing heI
daughters in a m%illiner's shop.
Luck came first in the person OF
Adeline, duchess of Bedford. The
dowager duchess bought a hat one
day of an exceedingly pretty girl
who happened to be Rachel Quincy
and as she wore it continued mean
while to think of the charming cir
who sold it to her. She looked into
the shop another day and still an
other, asked a few leading questions
and discovered Rachel Gurney's sto.
~. %Thereupon she determined tt
adopt her.
The Gurneys concluded they could
support one girl if the other were
well provided for and permitted
Rachel to become the legally-adoptec
daughter of Adeline, duchess OF
Bedford. Lady Troubridge's mar
riage was indirectly the result OF
her sisters going into the haugty
Bedford family. The late duke wal
devoted to the child, whom he found
in his old age.
1t was, however, as a comparative
" dowerless bride that Miss Gurney
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 a particularly vivacious and at,
t~ractive woman with a great gift fol
entertaining. Lord Dudley had
money enough and to spare. He
married the girl with. whom he hap
pened to fall in love.

THE WELL-BRED M
Perfection of Her Training Is Indi-
Gated by the Way She Sits
Down and Arises.

"My DEAR" said the old lady, "it Is
worse than a crime; it is i'll bred"
Nothing points out the well-bred
woman more quickly than the posi-
ton she takes when she sits down.
The stamp of vulgarityis 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; a 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.
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
pressed against the frame of the chair,
but if one, after sitting awhile, should
need to rest a 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 reposefully on
the lap.
To rise properly from a 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 a
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.
Herald.

OF rivers posing for a downward leap,
Or winding through still valleys, calm

Or forests yet unspoiled. whose giant

And more than these, 1 gave into your
hold
Tones that were sweet and faces that

The touch of hands that dried each
childish tear,
Now bidder deep beneath the church

Dear words from tongues that speak,

Dear looks from eyes long closed upon

Keep them, I pray, and guard them all

How Javnnese Induce sleep.

DR.. Steiner observed in Java a
method employed to induce sleep. 1t
consists in COMPRISING the carotid
arteries. The operator sits on the
ground behind the patient, whose
neck he seizes with both hands. The
index and middle fingers are then
pushed forward into the carotids,
which are compressed toward the
spine. The method is absolutely
harmless, anesthesia is rapidly OBJ

telling that the fresh-water lakes,
