WATCH FOUR SHOULDERS.

When standing before a looking
glass, notice if your shoulders are the
same height. Generally the right is
higher than the left. The reason for
this unevenness lies in the way one
sits. You get into comfortable chair
at your desk, and at once you rest
your right elbow on the arm Of your
chair or your desk, thus throwing one
shoulder than the other. This is es-
pecially the case where one writes a
good deal. When you notice that
one shoulder is higher that the other,
the thing to do is to change your way
of sitting at your desk. Two simple
exercises will be beneficial. The arm
of the lower shoulder should be ex-
tended upward, the hand grasping a
dumbell. That of the higher shou!-
der should be lowered and made to
support heavy weight.

find himself as helpless IN the passionate
of the present city church as an old
time stage driver would prove as gen
eral freight agent of The New York
Central railway There is nothing truer
than that new occasions teach new du-
ties and create new types. The older
preacher was a good ma. but drew as
much respect for his calling as by his
personality. The present day minister
must stand on his strength and manli-
ress. The public has learned to diff
terminate and with no. lack of reverence
for God or loss of faith in religion it
takes the measure of the minister from
his ability, sincerity aid honesty of
purpose.
There is no more real reason for a
minister to shun discussion of current
affairs in his municipality or state than
in national matters. 1t may at times
be impolitic, but never Unchristian or
unbefitting his calling. The world de-
mands good citizenship of him as siren
uously as of any other voter and citizen.
1t welcomes him into politics and re-
serves the right to criticise any incon-
sistency between his political acts and
his religious profession.

A Lost onnortunitx.

A prominent clergyman was wont to
remark that there was one incident in
his life that he could not live down.
Wherever he went he heard the tale
related. While pursuing his studies in
the divinity school he helped Sunday
services at a nearby chapel, few
miles in the country.
One day a heavy thunder shower
came up, and the preacher shortened
his remarks to enable the members Of
his rural congregation to reach home
before the storm should burst.
But the storm came just as the serv-
ice had ended and the people were COM
PEELED to remain in the chapel until the
rain should cease.
When the divinity student came
down to the group at the door, he was
greeted by a character famous in th'.
neighborhood: well, B., if you'd
knowed it waz goin' to rain like this.
you might a gabbed for an hour
longer"

How Brazil Counts Them.

A writer IN the Argonaut declares
that in Brazil the electors are farce
The ballots are hardly ever counted, for
the government dominates its ticket,
and then. after an election, announces
all its candidates elected. "a year or so
ago" he says, IAN American, who had
settled in Bahia, the second largest city
in Brazil, was made an election clerk.
an interior town into Bahia. After the
election had closed the clerk took the
returns and fastened away, guarding
them with the greatest care. He rode
his horse hard. for he felt that the sus-
pense would be great at Bahia until the
returns he was carrying were received.
What was his chagrin, therefore, to
hand his package over to the chief cleo
| ton clerk, only to see It thrown into
the waste basket
Here, what are you doing?' he
| shouted
Throwing them away was the an
swer: we don't need them now
Don't need them?' stamnlered the
regard q violation of the election laws
as reasonable.

men already was the answer; we don't
need any more votes.

CROP SITUATION is CRITICAL.

states, not only in the destruction
wrought by the overflow of streams, but
in the setback given to farm operations

downpour of rain for month past. the
commercial interests of the nation may

full yield and the waite: in the soil
would give good indemnify for all the
damage it has done before the season
closes, but with continuation of our
past four weeks experience trouble of
a serious nature may be expected.
1t is for this reason that far-seeing
business men have begun to predict a

board of trade and corresponding fall

time of year is, of course, to the corn
crop. With good weather from now on
the oats. hay and grass crops will be
tremendous. But the four states af-
fected by the floods, Illinois. Iowa. Kan
sas and Nebraska, are the four greatest
corn states in the union and the loss in
corn acreage will prove serious. Fol-

An Archbishop's Joke.

Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia,
is very fond of a joke, and in spite of
his multifarious duties finds time for
many amusing quips. When Bishop
Spaulding of Peoria visited the arch
bishop some time ago it was arranged
that the western man should be en-
tertained by lady prominent in social
and charitable affairs. The archbishop
wrote him giving him some details re-
garding his prospective hostess. and
ended his letter thus: The lady who
has all these virtues treats her hus-
band like a brute. P. S. - She is very
fond of brutes, being an officer of the
Society for Intervention of Cruelty to
Animals"

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew was IN

Had Enouqh Of Artillery.

An amusing incident occurred at a
concert by Thomas Preston Brooks and
his famous band during recent tour
OF the New England states.
Among the early arrivals at the opera
house were an elderly gentleman and
his wife from the country and they
were shown to seats we'll toward the
front of the house.
When the curtain arose revealing the
fifty musicians attractively grouped on
the stage their natty uniforms and re-
splendent instruments completing a
picture of dazzling effect, the old gen.
tleman from the rural district was all
enthusiasm Gee whilliken. Manda, be
they all gon' to play at onct?" he ejac-
ulated. to the amusement of every one
seated near him.
A storm of applause greeted the re-
nowned bandmaster when he appeared
on the stage, which seemed to mystify
our old friend. That's IA fine lookin'
Teller but he amt played nothin' yet"
said he. whats all this hullabaloo
about. anyway? Is he goin' to play
a tune on that huskin' peg" Just at
this moment Brooks baton was raised
there was an instant of eager expec-
fancy and then the band struck up a
stirring march. When the music had
ceased the old gentleman was in costa
cies. ell applauded and stamped his
feet vigorously, then jumped up out of
his chair waving his hands in the air
and whistling like a gallery god. When
his wife pulled him back into his seat
he shouted: "By crick, Manda, i never
heard such music as that before. Seth
Tibbitts and his old fiddle don't amount
to shucks."

AIAw THAT LACKS ENFORCEMENT.

According TO the lIStltutioif iePoi ~
Tor May the escape OF dipsomanlacs
from the wards assigned to their treat
nent and detention continues at rate
which seems explicable only by a lack
OF guards and attendants, by extreme
carelessness, or possibly both. Inc re-
port from Cherokee shows fourteen es-
capes between April 80 and May 81.
There were thirty-nine inmates on May
81 and fifty-thre on April 80. Fourteen
escaped during the month. fifteen were
admitted, two paroled inmates returned
and two escaped inmates returned,
while one died and eighteen We're pa
rolled. From the institution at Mount
Pleasant there We're thirty-seven es-
canes in May, of whom hut eight were
returned. The report shows fifty-six in
mates there on May 81, decrease OF
seventeen since April 80. During May
sixteen were admitted for the first time
and four were paroled. The Independ-.
ence hospital reports bat one escape
during May, one readmitted and six re-
ceived for the first time.
The LeMars Sentinel recently pub
lished an account of the escape and re-.
capture Of one Doc" Green, who told
the story of his escape TO a Sentinel
reporter. Green said it was dead easy
to make a getaway" ana asserted that
patients escape almost daily. He had
walked away, taken train and come
as quietly home as pint bottle of alco-
hol would let him. The Council Bluffs
Nonpareil tells of a case where the pa
tent had escaped three times and, still
under sentence, is living his jag
enlivened life in Council Bluffs. The
local papers thruout the state are full
of references to escaped inebriates.
When the inebriate law was first pro-
posed many excellent newspapers and
thinking citizens failed TO favor it. 1t
Ieemed, however to meet the approval
oe the district judges and met with
scant opposition. The intent and pur-
pose of the law is to be thoroughly APP
probated. The people are In sympathy
with its objects and viii. insist that it
shall be given fair trial. AS matters
stand it is becoming farce. Many of
The very men whose drunken and
worthless habits have made them men
ices to the communities upon which
hey are a burden. and who have been
lent to the dipsomaniac wards as'much
Tor the protection of others as for their
own regeneration, seem to escape at
will and find small difficulty in remain
ing outside in defiance of the law that
sentenced them.
The inebriate law is capable of too
much OF good to be jugg,ed into obliv-
lon by carelessness or incompetency
The people will demand its enforce
nent, IL possible, and It's repeal if inn
possible It is time that those in
,harge of the inebriate wards find some
means of preventing the wholesale de-
dveries of inebriates that are taking
place or that they be replaced by others
more capable.

THE PROFESSIONS AND THE PEOPLE.

There is an evident change in the at
titude of the learned professions toward
the world. Time was when the min
lister, the lawyer and the physician lost
dignity, or imagined he did, by ming
ling with promiscuous gatherings Or
appearing often upon the street or in
public places. All this is changed. The
change has not come thru any lower
ing of the professions, but from the
elevation of common citizenship and the
development of more catholic feel
ing between the commonalty and the
professions. The people are higher and
professional men broader.
College president, lawyers, all pro-
LESSONS, all people have grown wider
end must continue to broaden with
their added responsibilities and extend
ed fields. Webster and Writ would
have much to learn If they were to lead
the American bar Of the present and
John Harvard's gift of 1880 and his
library seem a small foundation for a
university to college president who
solicits millions-and gets them. There
is an eternal and insistent call for
newer and stronger men. Best of all is
the fact that the call is not falling Of
an answer. The men come.
A minister of the gospel in a recent
conversation expressed his conviction
that God wants a preacher to get out
doors and be a man among men. To
take an interest in humanity for its own
sake and take up his burden of citizen
ship as a man of affairs. He meant
that the preacher had his place to fill
in the everyday routine of human life
as other men. That he had his place in
professional standing between 1t and
the next, and that his duty called him
into politics as the ordinary citizens
duty urges him to an active part In af-
fairs political. The minister was right
and the preacher who comes into poll
tics with honest motives, common sense
and charity need fear no loss of pres
tige or usefulness. The ordinary citi-
zen, while respectful where respect is
due when men only are concerned, is
the reverse of reverential. He rever-
ences God, but criticises the clergy with
the same freedom of speech and con-
science that he applies TO the school
master or the members of any other
profession. But he likes strong man
and listens to good ore. The type OF
minister common a lifetime ago would

that the board of supervisors had

but apparently had failed. Then the
defense put the former chairman of the

testified that sometime prior to the ac-
