TO REDUCE THE Il ABDOMEN.

Its Apparent Size Is Made Less by Cor-
4 rect Positions sgsS
The apparent size of the abdomen
may be made lesssbysa correct standing
and sitting position. Aslounging posi-
tion, which. lets the bodyfan ina
heap at the waist line, relaxes the
muscles. and fayors a fatty deposit just
where it is most detrimental to the
beauty of contour Of aSweman'ss figure.
In standing, draw in the abdomen and
throw out the chest. letting the weight
of the body fall upon the ball Of the
foot. This will insure a&perfect po1se
and teach the abdominal muscles to
be self-supporting. II these muscles
are not permitted to become relaxed,
but are held firmly in position by eff
fort of will, there will be an apparent
reduction IN flesh about the hips and
and abdomen before even a single
pound is taken off. An exercise which
should be taken every night and morn
ing for abdominal reduction, and which
requires no apparatus, will seldom or
never fail, if persisted in. Usually there
is very apparent reduction of flesh
within month, so that the skirt
seams have to be altered. Lie hat
upon the floor, face downward, arms
folded. Raise the body free from the
floor upon the elbows and tips of the
toes - At first the local muscles may
be so weak that it willbe difficult
feat. Rest, then try again. Repeat
until tired, resting between whiles. A
straight-front, comfortably fitting cor
set reduces the apparent size of the
figure Tight lacing is a grievous
error. Bi!lows of fat overfowing
above and below CONSTRUCTED waist
never tend to diminish the size. Exag-
gerated curves serve only to render
obesity more prominent. The more
evenly distributed the excess of fat, the
less it attracts notice. Massage rollers
and a pint of hot water form a power
full and harmless anti-fat combination
Vichy and settler are also excellent to
drink in place of water to quench
thirst. -Stella Stuart in Ledger Month

Mr.. W. p Calhoun, of Greeneville
5. e., is an advocate of the separation
of the races. He thinks: that all of
the Afro-Americans, ought to be taken
to one OF the Western states, be given
full control, and be compelled to live
there. This scheme is an old one, and
has@been advocated for years by vari
Gus Southern gentlemen. One great
trouble about the matter is. to decide
who are Afro-Americans. The social
ed white people have associated SO
much with their black neighbors that
it is hard to tell who is white and who
is black

the greatest and most glorious coun-
try the world ever saw, but the pur-

Live down to our ideals would be
better way of putting it, for the
Southern ideal is low. The ideal Of
true democracy is not strong in the
South The success of the Southern
armies in the rebellion would have
meant the establishment of an oil
garchy based on race and wealth, in
which the black man and even the
poor white man would have had no
part. The idea Of a country composed
principally Of men held in vile servi-

the most absurd propositions ever

. Love Story OF Two Girnffes.

In the Cincinnati Zoo dwelt two gi-
RATES.. Giraffes are not noted for their
affection, yet these two exhibited every
evidence Of true devotion to- each 9TH
!. er. The male never seemed to- tire Of
caressing the long, slender neck Of his
partner, and, what was more unusual,
would frequently leave for her the
softest and choicest bits Of food. On
one occasion when she was removed
from the pen for short time and
quartered near by, he seemed to find
consolation in some bits of cloth that
had been used to bind her throat; al
ways lying beside them, no matter
where they happened to be placed. And
during the temporary separation the
two would spend hour; gazing long,
ingly at each otasr across the space
that divided them. When they were
again united they made manifest their
supreme happiness by frolicl1ing about
like frisky colts, 5blissfu1ly unminlful
OF the fact that such behavior was any
thing but picturesque in creatures OF
their build. Ladies' Home Journal.

A man died last Monday in Jeffer
sonville, Ind, who is indirectly respon
sible for terrible lot of trouble in
this world. He was a justice of the
peace named John H. House, and was
one Of the most unique characters OF
Southern Indiana. He held his office
for ten years, and during that time
married over 5000 couples, the most OF

at Jefferson City, Mo-, by the Court OF
Appeals, whereby Wyatt Ryans, the
old Afro-American body servant of the
late DR.. Charles H. Bradford, comes
into possession of 1888. DR.. Brad
ford was an invalid, and for years be-
fore his death required the services
of body servant. No regular wages
were paid Ryans, who sued after his
employers death.

Fir3 t. Born Chi drsn Strongest.


It would seem that first born chill
dren excel later-born children in
height and weight. This may be due
to the greater vigor of the mother at
the birth of the first child. We are re-
minded of fact, mentioned later, that
out Of fifty great men of this country
80 per cent were the youngest sons. In
England it was found that growth de-
generates as we go lower IN the social
scale, there being a difference of even.
5 inches in height between the best and
worst-fed classes in the community.
An investigation of 10000 children in
Switzerland showed that children born
in summer are taller for their age than
those born in winter; as a majority of
children in the public schools are poor,
in winter their parents are forced to
economize more on account of expense
s of heating; their rooms are also liable
to be small and poorly ventilated,
while in the summer they are out in
the fresh air; food is also cheaper and
more varied. The influence Of un-
healthy conditions on very young
child would be much greater than
when it is older and better able to re-
sist them.-Everybo dy's Magazine.

A MANILA BEAM.
A Travelling Man Atrial to Trust a Pro-
fessiOnal Florist.

fessional Florist. =
Quite an excitement has been created
in Kensington by so small a matter as
bean. The bean was brought from
Manila two years ago by travelling
agent for large mandatory, who
had seen tree covered with beautiful
flowers and beans while travelling in
LuZon and had secured one of the pods.
Fearing that if he confded it to pro-
fessional florist he would lose the hon.
or and glory of introducing a new flow
: er to Philadelphia, he turned over the
bean to a Kensington woman, agree
ing to pay 81 month for it's care and
culture until it produced foWersi The
bean has been two years growing, but
it is not yet over two inches in height.
Local botanists say it is not bean,
but a date seed, which has been plant
ed in mistake. The owner, who paid
$l2 for one years board for the bean,
thinks the caretaker should now keep
it for company, but she says she has
had three doorbells worn out by curl
GUS visitors. Recently the owner dug
the plant up to see what the root look
ed like, and found that while there
were only three inches of stem and
leaves, a large 16-inch pot was filled
with ibrous roots. He thought it
would be a good plan to clip the roots,
since which time the Manila bean has
been but little faded flower. ~ The
caretaker asserts that in two years
she has served the bean with 400 gal
Ions of water, and taken 10000 steps in
carrying it around the house to give
it the full benefit of sunshine It was
as much trouble and care as baby,
only it did not cry at night.-Philadel-

Some people object to the use of
the word Afro-American because it
makes the colored people seem as if
they are foreigners in their own coun-
try: In many parts of the country the
Afro-Americans are treated as if they
were aliens or worse than aliens. for
aliens, if they are white, are treated
with great consideration. -

The Southern papers continue to
harp on President Rossevelt>s Airing

lynching. Of course, Southern eau

the Afro-Americans, who constitute
about two-dfths of the total popula-
ton, are, greatly pleased thereat.
