How Women Should Stand.

To stand correctly is an art in itself
Few women know how to assume q
correct upright position. Five min
utes' practice each day will enable
you to solve the problem and give you
a graceful carriage. Walk up to Il
wall, touch it with your nose chest
and toes and YOU will have the correct
position for standing. The hips should
be thrown back. the abdomen i'll and
the shoulders squared. This will give
the stylish fatnesS that shows off ,he
fashionable gown. a good exercise to
give you the correct attitude is: Keep
the heels together AT an angle Of sixty
degrees. having the weight of the body
scstinS on the balls of the feet-not on
the heels. The chest should be thrown
forward, the chin held in. the abdomen
drawn back and the hips held back.

WESTERN EDITOR GOES HOME.

An Incident In the Ohice Of the Atchison
Champion.
When Ewing Herbert resigned from
the editorial chair of leading New
York comic weekly and returned to
resume the editorship Of weekly
paper in small Kansas town, says
the New York Evening World, several
persons wondered They did not
know, as Editor Herbert declared the
other day when in this city, that no
man is so we'll situated as the country
editor, with a well-equipped printing
Office in good town. with a fair share
of the county printing. a good circu-
alton and plenty of job work and
advertising.
1t may be that he takes turn occa-
sionally at working the press, making
up the forms or even setting his own
editorials in type; but he takes an
honest pride in being able to do these
things. He is willing to give every
man his due, but insists ON his own
rights and dares to maintain them.
Such an editor is Ewing Herbert.
According to a story which has some
foundation, Il customer whom he knew
as close fisted man came in not many
days ago to get hundred small post
ers ordered the day before.
Editor Herbert handed him the
posters, neatly tied up in a package.
The customer united the string. laid
the bills on the imposing stone and
proceeded to count them.
Editor Herbert watched the count.
When it was concluded there proved
to be six over and above the hundred.
Without a word the man who would

nah Sanborn Philbrock. in Il recent

deficiency in her weaving apparatus.
She found unexpectedly that her
work required the use OF Il certain reed
aud harness which could be obtained
only at Il place five miles distant
reached by Il road leading over a
number of steep and dangerous hills.
She was alone in the house with
her baby and another young child
whom she could not leave to go on
an errand. Nevertheless, she could
not endure the idea of wasting time in
waiting for that reed and harness when
if she only had them she could make
such good progress with her web. Her
husband owned the "smartest four
year-old colt in town." and this lively
animal. nothing daunted, she mounted
with her baby in her arms, taking the
other child on pillion behind her.
