Trim Waist Lines.

A trick which will keep the waist
shapely and muscular and drive away
unwelcome flesh is to kneel upon the
floor and, holding the hands above the
head, slowly rock backward and Cor
ward, just as far as possible. When
you get as far forward as possible, the
toes will want to come up on the floor,
and the effort to keep them there de-
yelops the muscles about the waist
sp1endidly, says the Philadelphia In
quirer. All these movements should
be taken slowly, and it is recommend
ed that they be preceded by the new
muscle beating fad. If a woman is
not shapely and youthful even to a
green old age it certainly is going
to be her own fault Don't let your
figure be the terror of your dress
maker, the despair of the photogra-
rher and the curse or your own life

IN A DENTISTS CHAIR.

Patient Describes Sensations Under
Influence of Gas.
A Burlington young man, well
known in legal circles there, gives an
amusing account of his sensations
while in a dentists chair under the
influence of gas.
Through a window in front of the
chair" he says, 81 could see tall
chimney. As the dentist began to
administer the gas, this chimney be-
gan to spin around, slowly at first,
but gradually increasing the speed
and size of it's revolutions until all
could see was dizzy blue. All of a
sudden it stood still, then exploded
with a crash, scattering bricks in
every direction. One of them hit me
in the head and 1 went to sleep.
When I awoke the dentist was stand
ing over me with a glass of water in
his hand.
Swallow it, he said.
what 1 gasped, the brick? -

STORY OF a BALLooNIsT.
Miraculous Escape Made by an Eng

Miraculous Escape Made by an Eng.
iish Aeronaut-
IN. A p" tells story of one of the
adventures of Stanley Spencer, the
English aeronaut. 1t was at Hong
Kong and the balloon was rent in max
ing the ascent. However, rather than
disappoint the crowd, Mr.. Spencer de-
termined to trust to his luck and gave
the order to let go. The balloon shot
up, the hot air pouring from the fis-
sure. The aneroid soon marked 500
feet, and the parachutist was begin
ming to get ready, when the balloon
endeavor to loosen the parachute, he
fell like a stone. During the whole Of
that fall he was conscious and felt no
fear. Twice he turned completely over
and then crashed on to rocky cliffs
$50 feet above the sea level. Some
jack tars among the Mortified specta-
tors rushed to pick up his remains,
and found him not only alive, but con-
scious.
Are you hurt?" they asked, with
the faulty of men deeply moved.
"Only carried away a mainstay.
boys" was the CHEEKY response, and
then the plucky man tainted. He had
broken his tibia, but that and some
bruises were his only injuries. A fall
of $50 feet onto rocks, and life! The
explanation lies in the fact that the
parachutist struck the sloping side
of the cliff and slithered down to the
bottom.

 The immensity of London can only be understood when we come to deal with the many sides of the peoples lives. Ev- cry year about 13O.OO0 babies are born in London, some 5000 of whom are not want ed and are not welcomed. There are always more boys born than girls
 More than 400 out of every 1000 never live to be years old over 30,000 little collins being used every year to bury their remains More than 10000 people die every year in London warehouses and jnfirmaries; but, in spite of the fact that about S2, ,00O Londoners go to their last account, there are 50,00O more persons alive in London each new years day than there were on the previous occasion.
 There are more than 10000 weddings each twelvemonth, 30,000 of which are celebrated in the churches of the estab- lishment Strange as 1t may seem, sec ing that we have had compulsory educa- tion now for over 90 years there are every year more than 2000 persons mar ried in London who can neither read nor write.

A Southern Object Lesson.
Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune
 The expedition with which justice has been administered to Joseph Hig- ginbotham, negro of Lynchburg, Va, should be an object lesson to other sections of the South where lynchings are frequent. Higginbotham commit ted criminal assault upon a white woman on January II. He was promptly arrested and brought to trial. There was some talk of lynching, but those in favor of it were restrained by the knowledge that he was well guarded. His trial which took place on the 23rd, lasted just one hour and a half. The jury promptly brought in verdict of guilty and on the same day the judge sentenced him to be hanged on February "A. Not all cases may be settled with such expedition as this, as the evidence may not be so direct and clear, but there Is no reason why any case of murder or criminal assault may not be disposed of in reasonable time in any Southern court, especially where the prisoner is negro. The people of that part of Virginia have shown themselves to be laW-abiding, and where the people themselves are law-abiding there Is llttle danger of miscarriage of jus tice.
