live longer by Going to Shows.

A leading writer in the Lon- don Lancet, a medical publica- tion of the highest repute pub- lished in London, England con- tends that people who attend shows and various other enter tainments on the aggregate live from five to ten years longer than people who refrain from enjoyment obtained in this way. In the 1000 cases of insanity and crime, 837 of the former and 900 of the latter had rarely, If ever, visited the theater. The writer continuing, claims that an afternoon or evening spent at the theater is better than a dose of medicine for those who are suffering from any nervous dis order. The argument of this gentleman, if one would stop to think, is not only plausible but quite possible. It certainly is a diversion for the overworked mind and of necessity must De productive of good results. The owners of theaters and travelling company managers should be a unit in favor of the above argu- ment. To those who are not in 1 the habit of attending the thea ter, and desirous of testing this theory, we would suggest that they attend the performance of 1 the Sun Minstrels, which will appear at the Newport Opera
 House on Friday, October 6. This organization has fun doc tors who will make you forget every ache or pain.

NEED TENSION AND REPOSE
Occasional Relaxation of the Differ ent Members of the Body
 Necessity.

The Delsarte system. which had sUch vogue some years ago. gave instruction in regard to the relaxation of the various members Of the body. It was in this that its chief value lay says the Delinea- tor. The s!steas of physical culture which have followed 1t have one and all embraced this idea The booily ten- sion is much greater in some than in others. It is an unnecessary expcndi- ture of norve-p power. To test how great is your bodily tension let out your breath, let yoer arms hang loose. and as some one hGs expressed il, "deyitalize" yo:self as far as possible. This relax ing process gives repose 10 the body. and some who have been victims of insomnia have beer able to obtain sleep by it. though many are keyed up to a certain tension and are fretted and irrtated by 1t, much as a Eorse whose head is checked too high. The process is to be- gin rapidly, fiexng the joints first of the fingers, then turning the wrists, then bending the arms at the elbow joint and then swinging them at the shoulder. and
 
 of trunk and lower extremities. The point is to do them easily. quickly and mechanically certain number of times Those who have great cares and anxieties and have to work hard and nerve themselves up to work have this tension unconsciously which racks and wears them without their realizing it until ton late when tha reS1IIt ic n oap eral breakdown or nervous prostration Change of scene and occupation is more necessary to-day than in the Glden time. since the demands upon time and brain have grown so much more eXacting.
 The meth0Gs of resting in lying down are often faulty. The correct position l in bed for sleeping restfully and quietly is 10 hare the head low The pillow should be ( thin enc. One should sleep on the right side, as that leaves the l heart more free One should lie easily. ] the knees drawn up more or less as is comfortable The whole tendency is to l bend the body and the extremities-to roll up into ball. This is natural since it is the position that is taken during prenatal life Sleeping on the back. es- l pecially if the head is high, Is apt to give uneasy slumbers and is conducive 10 nightmares. Ii is the practice of many while sleeping to place the hand or fist under the cheek, and while doing 90 to wrinkle the face. Such wrinkles often become permanent Perfect sleep Is necessary for good looks.

FASHIONS LATEST RANCHES
Dressy Novelties and Furnishings Appearing in the Winter

A small toque or a meoium-siZed hat of fine material. trimmed with single good ostrich tip or some simple but un- common bit of trimming and simply made, is always the best for women of 1 limited means.

There's one each side the neck and three each side the fronts from the bust line to the belt. A tiny rufiie of this velvet edges the bolero and is each side the narrow cuffs. each of which is held by one of the rosettes

 Chamois-buff cloths when ornament ed with gilt buttons, are in favor. and they give the note of tan so well to the fore now. Browns and greens are good. and the white broadcloth red embroidered is seen on excellent wraps. Yesterday We made a round of the shops and observed the following waistcoat novelties: A rich brown broad-tail had collar and narrow vest of old-rose velvet with applqued leaves of a deeper shade; white broadcloth vest was edged with tra- cery of pale-blue silk braid a number of garments had cClcr given them by means of bright dots of red or oi green.
