FATE OF LAZY GIRLS.
Unless They Preserve Their Bodice
by Physical Exercise They Are
Bound to T:G.s Out.

The lazy girl will rot obey tn
promptings of nature to use her limbs
and faculties as it was intended that
she should use them, says writer for
the Boston Journal She infinitely pre-
fers tololl about, reacirG Tubp-shy books
which make no call on her mental facul-
ties, absorbing caramels or chocolates
she does not require, thus starving her
mind and oyerfeeGing her body at one
and the same moment. By doing this
she tends to lay On an excess of fatty It's
sue, which soon robs her youthful figuru
of any dainty charm it might possess,
her digestive organs become deraIged,
the liver becomes sluggish and her COM
plexion assumes sallow tint that adds
years to her looks.
A vacant mind gazes abstractedly
through the lack-luster eyes of the girl
who is too lazy even to think. and adds
still further to her prematurely aged and
world-worn appearance.
Her heart and lungs get lazy, too; hen
circulation is barely brisk enough to keep
things going-hence she rs often a
martyr to cold feet and an everheated
nose-and she is apt to be scant of breath.
Thus she becomes sort of bad carica-
ture of old age; she has all its defects
with none of its redeeming qualities. I,
If the lazy girl would keep her girlish
looks she must lose her laziness,' for
laziness and girlishness do not form an
enduring partnership. She must exercise
both her body and her mind in rational
manner
1t is matter of everyday observation
that it is the brisk, bustling women of
business or of society who longest retain,
their youthful charm. 1t is the thinkers
and workers who retain their powers OF
fascination when the drones have long
since laid themselves, or been laid, on
the shelf.
That is a striking phrase, 1.-THE JOY of
living" 1t is a Joy that the lazy girl
can seldom feel, for it is only known TO
those girls Who use life rightly ard who
will go through fire and water to realize
their high ambitions. A healthy life is
perpetual joy, and it can be healthy
only if it is full of constant striving and
doing.
The lazy girl must set her bodily tenn
pie in order. She may not have motor,
~ carriage, a bicycle, or horse, but she
can always use her feet. She must walk,
and walk with will and with purpose
in view. She should adopt hobby, no
matter what; painting, music, poultry
keeping. rowing-anything in short
that will give her bodily and mental EN-.
piOymeEt.

UNCLE HENRY ON REFORM.

This world amt just as would make it If
! could have my way;
Life amt exactly as I'd take 1t, IL I could
have my say;
! know a hundred things at least that 1
would change about
If could rule DER man and beast and fling
the troubles out,
And yit, now since you ask I don't know
just where I'd begin
There'd be so much to judge ndweigh be-
fore you started in.
I know things amt just as I'd like EN-. 1
know there's evil here,
But where and when and how to strike EN-
and make 'em disappear
There's where the rub comes in; somehow
the minute that you start
To change affairs, why. there's a row, and
things git ripped apart;
The more think I'd DO if all his world was
just my own
The more there seems to be that I'd just
kind of let alone.
The men that find the wrongs and fight 'em,
as far as 1 can find.
Don't seem to git much, when they right
'em, but kicks from them behind;
I'd like to help along some way to fix things
here below.
So only dom right would pay and sin would
have to go;
But, SEEM how the ones who change things
here are hammered at,
] guess I'll just be good myself and let 1t
go at that

survived the balloon accident, but he
was declared legally dead
When Nine. Nordica came to New
York in 1894 to begin her season at the
Metropolitan opera house there were
fumors of her engagement to Herr
Doehme, which she confirmed. The mar
riage took place on May 26, 1896, in In
0ianapolis, at the close of the musical
festival. Herr Doehme is a member of
a prominent Hungarian family, young
and of exceptional good looks He pos
sesses fine voice, and he has appeared
as Parsifal at Bayreuth.
Mime. Nordica was in this country last
fall while her husband remained abroad.
There were rumors that while in Paris
he was too attentive to a prima donna
of worldwide fame, but Nine, Nordica
emphatically denied the charge in a
friendly letter to the woman named.
When Herr Doehme arrived in New
York city early last December the sum.
mons ard complaint in his wife's suit was
served upon him. Up to that time he
believed that the differences with her
could be reconciled. and the service of
the divorce papers shocked him so that
he spent several weeks in a sanitariu,n
in New York.

OUARRELSOME WOMEN.
they Are Not Only Disagreenble to
Others, But Must BE a Nuisance
to Themselves.

1t is true that a quarrelsome or bad
tempered woman can cause more I'M
pleasantness for the rest of humanity
Than all the other disagreeable features
bne finds in life. 1t is also equally true
that the unlucky possessor of an uncon-
trolled temper can easily drive to ruin,
or to other women, the man whose mis-
fortune it is to move in her orbit.
Men are very morbid beings; they are
also very selfish, and they have great
fondness for having their physical and
mental comfort undisturbed.
The average man prizes permanent
peace and content above the gratifica-
ton of possessing a beautiful attractive
creature for a wife, and he knows that
a bad-tempered woman and peace go
not together.
He admires a spirited woman, but he
knows that correspondingly strong
will goes along with strong character,
and he expects her to exercise it.
: The assertion from a woman that she
has bad temper, and is proud of it, has
kept more than one worthy man from
asking her to share his future as his
wife.
The woman who can control herself
under the most trying circumstances is
The woman who holds the strongest pow
ST over men.
No matter how beautiful, and clever,
md fascinating the bad-tempered woman
may be, or how large her bank account,
her power is infinitesimal compared with
that of her amiable sister. And anna
bility is not only power. it is mental pro-
erosion. and health, and happiness, and
long life to ones self and to ones friends
and family.-N. Y. Weekly.

WORST OF NUISANCES.
The Woman Who Regards Herself
as n Martyr Is the Most Dis
agreeable of Her Sex.

OF all the disagreeable types of woman
kind, the one who regards herself as a
martyr is the most Objectionable, for the
simple reason that she has nothing in
The world to worry about, and is fraud
of the deepest dye, reveling in imaginary
diseases and phantom ills that never
cross the shadow of her life's door
sill.
She is generally woman with plenty
IF time hanging heavily on her hands,
and is always sick or wrong. If it is not
disease that has wasted her form away
she goes about carrying secret sorrow
with her, and IL one would but believe
all she says it would seem that she were
1 victim of all the doleful episodes that
could be imagined.
Such people need waking up. Give
them a purpose in life, and the ills and
worries will vanish in the background
Work will do more for them than all the
bottles of medicine which they so assid-
lously swallow, and when life assumes
brighter prospects their friends will
be pleased to listen to what they say.
for it viii then be untinged by any
cloud formed by diseased imagination.
When such people cannot be interested
In the affairs of others present them with
something that will interest them in a
personal hobby as the next best thing
