TO STAND GRACEFULLY.

The preliminary sep In acquiring q
graceful carriage in sitting, standing
and walking is 10 stand correctly and
practice balancing or posing. Raise the
heels quickly from the ground and
stand as high on tiptoe as possible
Then lower the heels with moderate
speed, without tipping the weight OF
the body backward. Again, keeping
the heels on the ground. alternately
lift the balls Of the feet, and put them
down with a slight pressure. In this
way II is possible to learn how 10 stand
correctly. with the weight evenly bal
anccd upon the feet. Draw the knees
in firmly. Draw the hips well la ack.
The chest must be thrown out, and
then the shoulders viii drop down and
back. as they should. When told to
throw out the chest II is n good idea
at the same time TO raise the head
slightly and after that draw the chin
In. If the body can now sway easily
back and forth from the feet up, the
position is correct.
TO learn to sit gracefully is an art,
not an instinct The woman who I'M
derstands the art gives no evidence OF
the dominance of one part of her
physique over another. Nor does she
lounge. she sit erect. Erectness OF The
trunk. "a good pose OF the head and
graceful disposition Of the lower limbs
are necessary If one would sit well.

n woman sits with hcut shoulders,

all the vital organs, forcing them from

Above all. il is importans for the
short person 10 sit erect. for, when in
n perfectly upright position one may
gain an inch or two in height. The
woman who knows how To SIT and
stand erect can apparently add to the
height of her figure. and impress he

WAS STOWE INSANE?
Buffalo Has Murder and Suicide by
Kent IT. stowe.

hent II. Stowe.
BUFFALO. Aug. 11.-Kent Stowe, son
of f. y. Stowe, general central agent of
the Merchants Dispatch and Transpor'
tation company of this city, is dead at
the hospital here. He shot his wife.
killing her instantly. and then shot
himself. The father of young Stowe has
made a statement. in which he says
his son had been Respondent since his
attack of malarial fever and that they
were very much worried about his con
dition. This was confirmed by the fam.
lily physician, who added that the
young mar was Temporarily insane
when he did the shooting, as his rela-
lions with his wife We're happy.
The tragic death at Buffalo of Mr..
and Mrs. Kent r. Stowe, known to
every one as Pauline Brown, at the
hands of her husband and the ~latter's
subsequent death from a self inflicted
wound caused a profound sensation at
their home in West Dennis. Mass,
where the young couple was regarded
as Il model of domestic felicity. The
theory of temporary insanity is gen
orally accepted. Mrs. Stoves natural
attractiveness made her Il leader in So
ciety. while her husband was a. general
favorite. The marriage two years ago,
which was a brilliant social affair, was
regarded as a most happy union. Their
devotion to each other since has been
marked. and those who knew them
most intimately scott at the suggestion
of family trouble.
Mrs. Stowe was twPnty-One years of
age and an only child. Her father,
the late Douglas T.. Brown, was for
many years an official ut CharlestOwn
state prison. Her mother, who was Il
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Stowe at the
time of the tragedy. is one of the four
brilliant daughters of the late Captain
Cyrus Fuller of this town. The fam
lily have for years been prominent in

MILES PEACE PLAN.
Nations Ought to Agree to Reduce
Armies.

Nations ought TO Agree TO HeOuce
Armies.
CHICAGO. Aug. II. - Lieutenant
General Miles passed through here on
his way to San Francisco to attend
the Grand Army encampment being
held there. He said of his plan for the
disarmament of the powers:
Il would not abolish armies entirely,
but reduce them to a minimum. Our
present army is at the rate of n sol
der to every 1000 inhabitants. A
man of thirty years will live to see the
United States contain perhaps 25O,OOO,-
600 people. Then an army of 100000
men would be a correct proportion,
Let Germany with her Al, 100000 in
habitants maintain an army of $4,000
and permit Russia. with its 100000, 00O
people, to keep up an army of 100000.
The relative strength of the nations
would then be preserved.
There should always be armies for
police power, but the present military
system of the world is artificial and if
maintained will eventually plunge the
world into disaster. Today it endan-
gers the liberties of all men,"
