Proper Sitting Posture.

When some people sit down in a
chair they PUNK into it as though
they were a side of dressed beef, with
not bit more life or lightness about
them than that The right way is to
let yourself down easily, lightly and
gradually into the seat. Don't lean
upon your arms when you sit down or
rise. DO not sit upon your backbone
either. Sit squarely upon the great
muscles at the back of the hips, with
the thigh bones at right angles to the
spine. This is the only graceful and
hygienic way to sit. Maintain this at
titude, with the chest up and spine
straight, and you will present always
a graceful picture. Lolling upon the
backbone makes the back ache and
causes spinal trouble.

caIisthenic Dancing.


Education III dancing is greatly neg
lected in America. There ought to be
in girls schools q set of dancing eXer-
cises planned carefully with the view
to cultivating lightness and timber
ness. Skirt dances, high kicking, bend
ing the body from the waist, can be
easily performed TO the accompani-
ment of music, which lightens the spir-
its and makes amusement out of work.
Even ordinary dancing lessons may be
depended on to make girls graceful of
step and movement.
The most graceful and beautiful wo-
men the world has ever seen We're
those of ancient Greece. Every woman
there was trained in childhood to take
part in athletic games suited to her
sex, also to dance in rhythmic motion.
Clumsy and ungainly movement on
the part of a woman partook of the
nature of sin.
a woman can make no greater mis-
take either than to conclude she is too
old to dance or to learn gymnastic ex-
ercises. The sitter woman's joints
and muscles are the more need she has
of limbering exercises. Let her get 4

In the course of the year Parson
Whitaker received many calls to mar
ry, christen and bury in the villages
round Candy, so it often happened that
his services were required in families
of which he knew little more than the
name of the person on whose behalf
he was to officiate.
One day he was summoned to lone
ly farm to perform the burial service.
On arriving there after some vicissi-
tudes he was met by a forlorn looking
man who was evidently in charge of
affairs.

ASKS TO BE RELIEVED.
Rear Admiral Baird Seeks Rest After
Forty-Three Years Service.

Rear Admiral G. w. Baird superintend-
ent of the State, War and Navy Depart
ments building, has again asked to be re-
lieved OF that duty. He was placed on
the retired list of the navy April % last
on reaching the age of siXty-two years.
His record is somewhat remarkable. Out
of forty-three years service in the navy
he has been off duty only four months.
During the war Of the rebellion he was
under fire twenty-three times. He has
made several inventions of great value to
the service and while occupying his pres
ent office has designed machinery for the
patent office, the Smithsonian Institution,
the Government Asylum for the Insane
and other departments. The main reason
assigned by Superintendent Baird in ask
Ing to be relieved is that his health is
breaking, and he is in need of rest.
The appointment Of his successor rests
with the Secretaries Of State. War and
Navy Each of them has asked him to
continue in Office. but he feels that he
can not do SO in his present state Of health.
Under the law his successor must be
taken from either the Engineer Corps or
the army and navy, but so far no seiec-
ton has been made.

PETITION FOR SALE.
Certain Tract Of Land in Alexandria
County in Controversy.

A bill in equity has been filed in the
circuit court for Alexandria county, Va,
by Attorney L. E. Phillips, naming Mrs.
Emma Kate Rogers as complainant, in a
petition to the court to appoint commission
ers to sell a certain tract of land formerly
known as Mason's tract, but now called
"Ivanwold," situated IN Alexandria coun-
ty, and to apply the proceeds of the sale to
the payment Of the claims of the complain
ant as set forth in the declaration. The
complainant petitions the court to make
Charles S. Bradley, William B. Gurley, VIII
liam A. Gordon and John c. Head parties
defendant to the bill, and that they be re-
quired to render full accounting of all
receipts and expenditures arising IN con-
nection with their position in the "Ivanwold
syndicate as set forth in an appended ex-
hibit.
The court is further petitfoned that Chas.
S. Bradley be enjoined from in any manner
selling or disposing of the said tract OF
land until the further order of the court.
1t is stated in the bill that the complain
ant became the owner Of "one undivided
24Oth equal interest or share of the net
proceeds of the sales of 1vanwold, said
interest having a stated value of $3.50. Ac-
companying the declaration was an am
davit setting forth that Charles S. Bradley
had represented to the complainant that
IL she invested her $3.50 in the "Ivanwold
tract he would see that she lost nothing
whatsoever by the investment.

Jews Prosecuted.

According to a letter from Palestine
which is printed In the Jewish Daily News.
the resolution Of the last Zionist congress
has given renewed impetus to the persecu-
ton Of the Jews in the Holy Land. The
correspondent, who writes from Zofath, tells
that the new pasha, who has Just arrived
there, has forbidden the local societies to
carry on any propaganda. According to
the correspondent also there are many
spies about, watching all the activities or
the Jews. Messrs. LIE Vante and Levi, the
directors OF the Jewish bank, having Wis
tied the pasha, were closely questioned by
him as to the meaning of Zionisnl. its aims
explanation, the pasta asked why the Jews
wanted autonomy and are not satisfied
with living wherever they are permitted
and with acquiring land wherever they can.
Among the other questions asked by the
pasha was, Who Is this General Ussischkn
OF yours?' The pasha told his visitors that
he read many things about the rejection or
the Uganda plans, that he had read many
things about the congress. He said that
many clippings containing articles about
the Zionist congress were forwarded to his
government by Christians, who, he admit
ted, were unfriendly to Jews. II know that
that the Jews will sooner acquire Constan-
hnople than Palestine. but I must take caro-
OF my position. and 1 must report officially
everything that is going on here, other
wise they will ask me why / have been

you to be very careful"

trance into Palestine by new corners is be-
coming more difficult than ever.

NJ. Honow, the radical leader, on behalf

eminent proposal for a plebiscite would

Foreign Minister Loevland said repub.
lican constitution would be intrinsically as
valuable a monarchical constitution, but
he pointed out that Norway being a we'll
este blished constitutional monarchy. gen.
erations of labor would be necessary to
work out republican institutions. A con-
stitution as a monarchy, he added, would
be the logical result of the policy of June :.
when the storthing dissolved the union be
tween Sweden and Norway, and that other
wise Norway's international position would
be hazardous.

COMPLAINT OVER FRIARs' FUNDS
Money Paid for Philippine Lands
Taken From Islands.

The Vatican authorities at Rome have re-
cefved reports from the Philippines dealing
especially with the recent visit of Secretary
Taft and his attitude toward Catholic In
terests in the islands. The reports say that
Mgr, Ambrose Agius, the papal delegate,
called a meeting of bishops to discuss these
interests with the Secretary. The latter
complained particularly that the money
which had already been paid for the friars'
lands had been taken out of the islands,
and, according TO the reports, recalled the
fact that Pope Leo and Cardinal Rampolla
had promised him during mis- visit TO Rome
in 1902 that the money for the lands would
go to the benefit of the church in the Phil
!ppines and not TO the religious ORDERS
The bishops complained of the delay In
allowing them to retake their property, to
which the Secretary replied:
THE property and the rights of the
church must be observed and protected by
the government. Those rights when in dis
pute, unless settled by agreement, must be
determined by the courts Of justice, and the
preservation of them is the duty of the
Philippine government, not only by virtue
of the treaty of Paris, but by the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Secretary Taft advised Catholics to go to
the Supreme Court for the purpose of re-
gaining the property which they claim from
Archbishop Aglipay, head of the independ-
ent Filipino church.
The bishops complained that after ask
ing one member of the Philippine commits
sion to specially devote himself to the pro-
lection of Catholic interests, it had not
been done, "even by Judge James F. Smith,
although Catholic" They urged the pay
ment by the Washington government of
what was due to the Catholics for the oc
cupation of church properties by American
troops during the war, and finally set forth
the need of financial assistance from the
state for parochial schools.
