Avoid StOODing.

Many growing girls, especially those
tall for their age, are inclined to stoop
and we'll meaning persons often advO-
cate the use Of braces or shoulder
straps as a means Of correcting the
tendency. The braces may force an
upright carriage, but they do not give
the wearer any means of maintaining
it, since they prevent tie exercise of
those muscles which should be trained
to produce an erect figure. Any exer-
else which strengthens the muscles of
the back and shoulders will aid in cor
recting this defect. fashioned
mothers used to drill their STOPPING
daughters to walk with plate carried
on their heads, and this is really a good
practice. High pillows and very soft
mattresses are blamed as an aid in
producing this defect, and without a
doubt fat, rather hard bed, with low
/ pillows, is preferable for growing chill

Fencing for women is one of the late
fads which has more than the mere eA-
cuse, TITS fashionable" to commend
it, It is a comparatively new exercise
for women, although men have peeh

exist, and, therefore, the practice OF the
art was restricted to very few. IL
was only that the spread OF the phys
iceal-cuIture movement for women
caused a search for light but vigorous
exercise, and some maitre d'armes sa"
his opportunity and took advantage OF
it.
In a short time fencing became the
thing" in the fashionable New Aork
set and the movement spread to other
parts Of the country. Many OF the
feminine leaders of society are ralf
fencers, although the necessity LOT
earnest and continuous practice pre-
vents most of them from becoming
really proficient. Ordinarily women
make poor fencers. Not only do they
lack the strength necessary to good
work with the foils, but singularly
enough, they also lack that alertness
and agility which is characteristic OIL
most things that they do.
Among theatrical women fencing IS
decidedly popular, Julia MarloWe anu

The meanest man has been found.
His wife, abused and neglected by
him, was dying. He asked his en-
ployer to let him off on this account.
But instead Of going to his wife's bed
side he boarded a car for the ball
game where he occupied a seat in the
grandstand and yelled as loudly as
any of the rooters. When told that
his wife was dead he expressed no
concern. Although free in expendi-
ture, he said he had no money for
funeral expenses and that the county
could bury the remains. The poor
wife's body found resting place in
a pauper's grave. The brute did not
even go to the cemetery. And you
say there is no. hell? You say the

White House Heirlooms.

Those who feel an interest In the
famous heirlooms among the white

that, despite the completion of the new
service, many historic pieces will con-
tinue in use. One Of these is the i'm

vice, which likewise bears the great
seal, and, like all the pieces ordered
by Mrs. Lincoln, Is ornamented in
maroon. The fruit baskets Of the
Lincoln service are still in use, as are
also one or two Of those of the Glover

by Mrs. Grant. On the occasion OF

which q city, acting as host, bestows

Is the one which figures most often and

The nation entertains only the most

Endeavorers, and with each successive
| year new host comes forward, and

make its guests comfortable and hap

BY order of General Chaffee, who
commands the Department Of the East,
a comprehensive system Of army ath-
letics Is about to be introduced. The
department will be divided into ten
districts, in each of which meets will
be held. The winners in each 'event"
will then constitute district team,
and between the teams there will be
an annual contest at West Point. The
exercises will consist of bayonet races
equipment races, jumping, tent-peg,
cling, skirmishing, hurdling and gen
eral gymnastics. General Chaffee hopes
by this plan not only to Improve the
physique of his troops, and to give
them some of the special training
which West Pointers receive, but also
to raise the moral standard by pro
viding wholesome diversion.
