ENGLISH GROWING PALMER
British Lady of Experience Declares

A warning note is struck by British

skill, against the reckless disregard of

their children to be affected by the stress

and the athleticism of the women and
children of the present time spell phys

days In Its unadorned style. Lovely
women are artificial products, and really
lovely children are ss scarce as subs

and members are strained out OF, shape
by overexercise, compilations and hair
are starved for lack of nerve force. The
exquisite compilations. luxuriant locks.

looking eyes that one associates, with

The Poultry World says; In the
winter season quantities of eggs
are frozen, and it is generally con-
sidered that such eggs are worth
but little, or, to say the least, are
much injured for cooking purposes.
This, however, is not strictly true,
for if properly treated they. sre
but little injured. Instead of as
was the CUSTOM putting them into
cold water to take out the frost
and waiting several hours for the
thawing to take place, and then
finding the yolks in such solid
state that they can be used with
no satisfaction in cooking, try the
following methodE Place them
in boiling water and leave them
there from five to twenty minutes,
according to the amount of frost iu
them, when. upon their being open
ed, the yolks will be found soft
and in such a state that they can
be used for almost any culinary
purpose.

Maine,s Great Aouamarine.

The minerals of Maine are becoming
of worldwide reputation The great
aquamarine. found in Stoneham. and
probably the most valuable gem ever
found on the American continent, has
recently been purchased as a valuable
acquisition to the crown jewels of Ger
many. The German prince, while in
this country, saw the gem at Chicago
and admired it so much that the gov
eminent has been negotiating for it ever
since. and recently sent a man over to
this country, who finally succeeded in
closing the trade, taking the gem back
TO Germany with him. AT the worlds
fair at Chicago the gem was valued at

WHAT .LLoYp,sy really Is
Net, as Generally Supposed, Engaged
in Insurance Business-Dispen-
ses Marine Information.

How many newspaper readers who
find daily references in the news ais
patches to "Lloyd's" have any clear
idea as to the exact nature of that
famous British institution? Perhaps
the most of them have vague inn
preston that it is a huge marine in
surance concern. having a la g meas
ure of control--unofTicial but real
over the shipping regulations OF the
world. The great corporation which
still retains the name of It's founder
of Elizabethan days, and which has
had its headquarters in the Royal Ex-
change in London since IVA. has
nothing to do as such with marine in
surance or the taking of risks and
paying of losses. but its members
have. 1t is, in fact, great maritime
exchange, incorporated in recent years
by parliament, and it is to the world
of shipping and through its members
of marine insurance what the house
of Rothschild is to the banking world.
Aside from the fact that Lloyd's af-
fords marine insurance brokers place
of meeting with their clients, its
great function is the collection. publ
cation and diffusion of information
with respect to shipping. 1t is the
direct outcome of the enterprise of the
keeper of London coffee house. Ed
ward Lloyd was brought much in con-
tact with seafaring men and mer-
chants. and his foresight and enter
prise led to the development Of sys-
tenn which has become world famous.

with seats together near an open

neatly the long way and lay over
the tops of the chairs, allowing the

DENIES HER GUILT.
Nan Patterson Testifes in Her Own
Behalf-Declares She Did Not
Kill Young.

New York, Dec. 2o.-In a voice qua
vering with emotion, but filled with
dramatic intensity. Nan Patterson, who
is on trial charged with the murder Of
Caesar Young. The booilmaker, recited
to the jury the scenes in her life which
had to do with her dealings with
Young. Not only did Miss Patterson
swear that she did not kill Young, but
She denied every circumstance in the
case which the state has brought up
against her. She testified that as a
result OF her conference with Young,
it was agreed that she should join him
in England. During the ride in the
cab to the pier, from which Young was
to take the steamer. she told him she
had decided not to meet him in Lon
don. He grew vehement and declared
he had lost all his money on the
races, and now he was losing her. He
grabbed her and hurt her so that she
complained. Finally she broke loose
from him and bent over. Then she
heard report, saw a flash and Young
fell into her arms.
Did you, or did YOU not, shoot
Caesar Young, Nan?" said LAWYER
Levy.
II did not" replied the witness, in
firm voice. Il would give my own
life to bring him back if it We're in my

Dec. 21.-At the end of the twentieth
round Jimmy Britt, of San Francisco,

ing like pair OF bulldogs, the gong
sounded the END OF the contest and Ret
cree Roche. unhesitatingly placed his
hand on the Californian as the winner of
the contest. He announced that he gave
the fight to Britt on cleaner hitting and
the greater number of points scored.
The fight was an eXemplification of how
much punishment human being can
endure and not succumb. At several
stages Of the fight Nelson was badly
punished, but he always kept gamely
coming up to firing line, and all through
the 20 rounds he forced the fighting.
The crowd was one of the largest ever
seen in San Francisco, and it is esti-
mated that the fighters will divide nearly

BENEFITS OF STRETCHING.
Physical Exercise of This Kind Re-
ieves Tension and Accelerates
Circulation.

A splendid thing for the body Is
stretching. When you first wake up in
the ming take a good long stretch.
Strete-. The hands as far out sideways
as possible. Then stretch them over
the head as far as you can reach and at
the same time stretch the feet downward
as far as you can. Raise the feet and
stretch upward just as high as you can
and then lower the feet and legs very
slowly, advises Medical Talk for the
Home.
When you get out of bed raise your
arms over your head and standing on
tiptoe see how near you can reach the
ceiling. Then walk about the room
while in this position. Stand on the
right foot and stretch the right arm for
ward and upward as high as you can,
while at the same time the left foot is
raised from the floor and stretched OUT
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward. This is a tino
exercise for the whole body and is espe-
cially good for the waist and hips, maxi
ing them firm and strong. Standing on
the left foot this exercise can be re-.
versed
IT you have been Sitting in the same
position for a long time reading, study
ing, writing or sewing, and the muscles
have become tired and cramped, the best
thing to do is to get up and stretch.
Stretch the arms upward and outward
and forward and backward. Lift tho
shoulders as high as you can and drop
them. Expand the chest and breathe
deeply. Or, sitting in the chair stretch
the hands upward. lift the feet from the
floor and sthetch them forward as far as
possible. Anyway SO YOU give the
muscles a good vigorous stretch.
When one is very tired there is MOTH
ing more restful than stretching the
muscles and then relaxing. Stretch The
arms, the legs. the whole body and then
completely relax. Stretching relieves
the tension of the body, gives strength
and tone to the muscles, accelerates the
circulation, and causes one to breathe
more deeply Women who wear tight
corsets or tight bands cannot take these
stretching exercises while they have
on their tight clothes. But at least the
hrst thing in the morning, or after ,lr-
dressing at night, they should give the
poor, corset-cramped muscles a good
stretch. If they would follow up these
stretching exercises every day. gradual
ly leaving off the corset, they would soon
have waist muscles strong and firm
enough to hold themselves up without
: the use Of the corset and after they once
experience the joy of free, strong body
they will not want to wear tight corsets
again.
When you wake up in the morning
| try these stretching exercises. The
next time you are very tired see what
stretching will do for you. If you do
| not find that stretching will invigorate
and rest you. put strength and energy
into your body, we would like to know
about it.
