HEALTH PARAGRAPHS.
Especially Intended for the Guidance of Girls In Their Everyday
 Lives.

The thin girl must sleep as many hours as possible. She must not wor- ry And she must live in the open air and sunshine just as much as she can every day, says American Queen.
 Study your own physical makeup and then develop the weak parts, while at the same time you keep up the exercises for the whole body in general.
 Be careful not to let any physical fault get start Prevention is so much more valuable than cure. And if you will cultivate keen eye for your own imperfections. it will not be difficult to overcome them at the start.
 Do not neglect to carry yourself we'll Do not bend over at the waist. Hold your head straight and erect. It will increase both your own self-respect and produce better impression on all about you.
 Your voice may be cultivated till it will of itself attract friends to you. Train yourself to notice pleasant voices and then modulate your own and see that it always gives out its best tones. Control of the voice will have great influence over your disposition. Be careful that your voice is never harsh or whining.
 You cannot be graceful unless every part of your body enjoys perfect free- dom of action.
 No indoor exercise can take the place of activity in theopen air.
 The skin Is of the greatest value in eliminating impurities from the body and therefore should be kept in perfect condition.
 If the top of shoe does not allow the toes to spread forward and outward they will have to turn up. 1t is easy to see how painful this will be in playing games, or in walking down hills, or in deep bending, or In jumping down from any height
 Never use any metal instrument about the teeth or you will run the risk of injuring the enamel. Never bite threads or crack nuts with the teeth.
 Mutton tallow Is very good for the hands A few drops of camphor in it have a healing effect.
 Rest IS fully as important for tho thin girl as diet. Relieve all tension by closing the eyes and banishing all thought for short intervals.
 Never neglect your hands, and espe- cially your nails Keep both scrupu- lously neat.

PUT TRUST IN THE LORD.
Novel Defense Made by Co1ored Man Answering to the Charge
 of Theft.

Last winter when 1 went south for Southern railway, who, according to the Washington Star, always has a good story in stock, q was told they were going to try colored man for stealing quantity of raw cotton, and when the hour arrived l went up to the court house to hear the case. The prisoner was man about 40 years of age, and he had elected to plead his own case. The prosecution proved that the bag of cotton was found in the colored mans cabin, and the property was fully iden- tified as belonging to the owner of compress. The prisoner asked no ques- tions, but said he wanted to make a statement and rest his case 'wid de Lawd' After awhile he was given an opportunity to speak and said:
 "I was gwine by dat compress at 'leben o'clock last night when voice dun called out to me: Hold on, dar, Abraham Jones. Yo' was pore man, an yo' jest take long dis bag O cotton 70 buy yo some shoes fur cold wealth er.' Den de bag fell at my feet, an l dun took it home
 Did you recognize the voice?' said the judge.
 No, sah; but reckon it was an angel who spoke.
 "Then why did you hide the bag when you got homer
 e.l, sah, jest s.s got frew de gate another voice dun told me dat I'd bet ter hide 6e cotton for few days
 .''Did you recognize that yoice?'
 No, sah; but dun reckon 1t was a voice from heben.'
 "'And that's your defense, is it?'
 "sYes, sah I'ze willin' to rest dis case In de Lawd's hands. De Lawd He dun knows nebber stole dat cotton
 Hadn't you better have lawyer? suggested the judge, with something like smile on his race.
 T reckon not, sah. I'ze been gwine to church fur de las fo'ty vars, an Ize restin' dis case right in de hands ob de Lawd'
 "'Then I shall have to give you four months in jail, Abraham
 Huh, what fur?
 "'For stealing that cotton
 'The prisoner received his sentence without word, seeming to have ex- pected it, and was presently led away. Two weeks later met him on the streets of a town 50 miles away and said to him:
 Abraham, thought you were in jail over at Selma?'
 .'Yes, sah, was he replied.
 "'And remember you put your case in the hands of the Lord?'
 "s'Deed, but did, sah, an cum out all right
 But you got four months
 "sSo I did, sah-so I did, but arter serving nine days ob de time de Lawd showed me how to dig outer dat jail. an yer I am an dey won't nebber git me agin.'''

TORNADO
TWO HOMES NEAR MEMPHIS : s-, BLoTTINo OUT.
Four Members of Shoemaker Family
 and Wesley Miller and Wife Killed-More Loss is Y Expected.

Memphis. Tenn. March 2.-A special to The Commercial Appeal from Caruthers- vile, Mo, says: ...
 A tornado swept the country twenty miles north of here last night. causing a great loss of life and destroying thou- sans of dollars worth of property.
 The wires have been down all day and authentic news has been hard to get, but as belated reports come in, the loss of life and property increases.
 It is now known that six lives have been lost and thousands of dollars worth Of property destroyed.
 The lives of the Shuepaker family liv- ins near Portageyille. four in. number, were plotted out, and their home demol- lished. t..a',t %' +
 Wesley Miller and wife, living two miles noYth of Mount Pleasant, were killed, and their home demolished, Their bodies were found two hundred yards away, badly mutilated: Mir. Miller was wealthy mill owner and planter. Fifteen hundred dollars in money belonging to him was found scattered over the ground. Much stock was killed and wounded.
 Chickens were found with their heads blown of and stripped of their feathers. Fence posts were blown from the ground and giant trees were twirled aside like straws. It Is feared a full report will reveal greater loss of life. Yesterday was very hot and just after dark the cyclone burst its furious wrath from funnel shaped cloud. sweeping pssh 300 yards wide. s't. ...-

WANTS TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Would Array Britian, Russia and
 France Against Japs.

France Against Japs.
 St. Petersburg, March 27.-There is much discussion in diplomatic and official cir cles over the intimation that Great Bri- tain, though the new French treaty Is serving to compose her differences with Russia. The Novosti which has long been the leading exponent of this idea, to-day says editorially that there is no reconflict of interest and that nothing but an in- grained mutual distrust keeps the two nations apart. The Novostt goes further in proposing a European coalition under the auspices of Russia, France and Great Britain to combat on the Yellow Dan ger" and says
 We have always maintained that a new triple alliance would assure the bal ance of power not only in Europe, but throughout the world"
 The Novosti gives Emperor William credit for prophetic realization of the yellow peril' and says:
 He first understood the impending ne- cessity for union of all white races against the yellows as shown by his symbolic painting. His prophecy was realized sooner even than he expected and the yellow peril has overtaken Eu- rope. which, when fortunately no longer troubled by dreams of conquest ur re- Venge will be able to assure peace in the near East and devote its united energies to cope with the threatening danger in the Far East"
 The article concludes by urging the powers to settle the AsIatic problem cn'y and for all that. They hesitate" says the article They will have to do so sooner or later Another opportunity will not offer for a quarter of century, but then they will have to cope with the uni ted strength of barbarians with vast ar mics trained in war. The old triple l. ance has ended and the yellow peril gives it deathblow. A new triple alIi- ance becomes a logical necessity"
