- RACEFUL. well built children
e are rare. This is due not so
81 y much to lack of beneficence
on the part of nature as to
neglect of supervision on the
part of parents. Children
naturally acquire slovenly ways of sit
ting, walking and standing and unless
these are corrected their effects will ar
pear later in bodily malformations ste-
fcient to mar easy and correct car
riage.
Not only should the small gaucheries
of the little one be corrected, but when
weak points in the structure of the
body are noticed simple exercise should
be practiced to build up undeveloped
muscles.
One of the most obvious juvenile
faults is a tendency to throw the
weight on one leg in standing. This
trick usually results in the bending of
the body and the throwing of one hip
out of position. A slight curvature OF
the spine will be noticed in children
who habitualy stand on one foot
In reading most children hold the
book well under the eyes and bunch the
body into most remarkable positions,
In youth the bones are so soft that
even occasional distortion is very harm

ment of the frame children should al
ways be supplied at home with chairs
suited to the size of their bodies. Chairs
used by older persons offer a tempta-
ton 10 lounge, which should never be
tolerated on the part of small folk Be
sides it is too much of a strain on the
body for a child to occupy a chair
which does not allow the feet to be
firmly planted upon the ground. The
small chairs should have comfortable
backs and broad seats. and when the
youngsters read or work each should be
placed beside little table sufficiently
low to bring the book or work within
proper distance of the eyes.
The body of the healthy child is at
first perfectly symmetrical. If the lit
tie one can be interested in keeping it
so, not only good looks, but compare

children, and unless child is happy it
is subject to disturbing lapses into
naughtiness.
Games in the open air afford children

girls should be encouraged to play out
doors. 1t was the free country life in
the island of Jersey, where she romped
and climbed trees with her brothers.

LONDON'S PAWNBROKER.
The British "Uncle" Will Advance
More Than Things Cost.

We imagine that few. if any. of our
readers are aware of what "mosking" is,
since even so experienced magistrate
as Mr.. Shell was compelled yesterday to
confess to entire ignorance of both the
word and the practice which it repre-
sents. Mosking is professional pawning,
and there is perhaps no more remarka-
BILE calling pursued in all London. The
ordinary citizen whom stress of cir
cumstances drives to seek assistance
from the Door mans banker never ex-
poets to get the full value of his pledge,
and recognizes that the pawnbroker
could not live if he did. But the nosker
looks not only for the value of the ar
ticle, but for a profit on what he paid
for it. and the amazing thing is that he
gets it. There are, it appears, jewellers
who make a speciality of supplying the
mosker with the articles he requires,
and who get up their goods SO carefully
as to deceive even the very elect among
'uncles.'
To such an extent had this gone that
one lawyer yesterday described it as a
well known custom of the trade" and

through the nose. The ribs should be

Exercise 2 is also a breathing one.

far as possible and then resuming the

Some children draw the head noticea-

to spinal curvature. To determine this
make the chilG when disrobing stand

the little one to touch its toes without

Exercise 5.-An excellent exercise for

is the following. which should never be
attempted by nervous child and never
by any one without the assistance of a

The child must lie fat on a table, with
the waist and head hanging down. The
child should then raise itself to a hori-

possible. Stretching out on the back,
the exercise should be repeated, rising
to a sitting position. If judiciously in
duiged in, this will add strength to a
weak back. In case the child is too
nervous to exercise on the table the
floor or a couch may serve as the sup

LIBRARY TO CAMBRIDGE.
John Morley Gives to the University
Mr.. Carnegie's Gift TO Him.

London, Oct 24.-John Morley has Of
6ered the famous Acton library to Cam
bridge university, where Lord Acton was
formerly professor OF history This
library was purchased some time ago by
Andrew Carnegie from Lord Acton, who
was allowed to retain it until his death.

Morley. 1t consists of T0,G00 volumes IN
manS Languages, devoted to the history
OF civilized governments.
In his letter offering the collection to
Cambridge Mr.. Morley says the library
was collected by Lord Acton to furnish
the material for a history of liberty and
the emancipation Of conscience from
power and the gradual substitution of
Freedom for force in the government OF
men.
The Duke of Devonshire, as chancellor
of the University of Cambridge, has
written an acceptance of the offer, ana
thanking Mr.. Morley for his rare act Of

SHOT HIS SONS
Because They Told Their Father to
Make Less Racket.

Chicago, Oct 24.-Because he was re-
quested to make less noise, John Mac
Donald shot and seriously wounded his
two sons, Robert, aged 10, and Daniel.
aged 3D. this evening.
The father arrived home early in the
evening. and. it is said. was in a quar-
relsome mood. Later he entered his
room and began to reproach his wife.
He was requested not to talk so loud by
Robert. Angered at this he shot his son
in the left side. Daniel. the other son,
struggled with his aged parent and two
shots were fired, one taking effect in
Daniels abdomen.
The father was arrested. The injured
brothers were removed to the Provident
hospital, where the physicians say that
the condition of both is serious.

Woman With a Grievance Took Time
to Write a Note.

A Tenth avenue car was held for
about ten minutes last night while a
woman passenger wrote a note to Sup
erintendert J. NJ. Patten demanding her
money back. She had gotten on the car
with transfer at the transfer station
and was very indignant when the con-
drctor told her it was not good. She
insisted that Patten would refund her
fare if he knew of the circumstances
and at the conductors suggestion that
she send III her name and address with
her claim she ordered the car stopped
while she wrote a lengthy complaint to
the street railway officials She will
probably get her money back but the
other passengers who were delayed are
wondering what they are going to get
out of it.

certainly the results must be satisfac-

the result of the police inquiries is that
obtaining a living by pawning these
goods for more than has been paid for
them is a practice which quite extern
