Evils Of Piano Playing.

A French scientist Of note maintains
that a large number Of the nervous
disorders from which girls suffer are TO
he attributed to playing the piano.
He shows by statistics that OF one
thousand girls who study this lnstru-
ment before the age Of twelve, no less
than six hundred suffer from nervous
disorders. while Of those who do not
begin till later there are only two
hundred per one thousand, and only
one hundred per one thousand among
those who have never worked at It,
The violin. he says, is equally intu-
rlous. AS a remedy he suggests that
children should not be permitted to
study either instrument before the age
Of sixteen, at least, and in the case OF
those possessing delicate constitu'
,ions, not till a later age.

Walklng-one Of the most popular |
and beneficial exercises-ls we'll dis
cussed in Good Housekeeping:
Very stout or slouchy people allow
the abdomen to lead" Brain work
ers, worrlers, all nervous and physl'
cally uncultlvated people, let their
heads lead the head Is further ad'
vanced than any other part of the per-
son. Dyspeptlcs whose thoughts ere
centered on their stomachs. often I'M
consciously lead with the waist line
just over the offending organ. Oc'
caslonally a weak.wllled person per-
mlts the knees to lead. When thin.
bad walker moves rapidly, there often
seems to be a race between nose and
knees, and you watch to see which
will arrive at the goal first.
When a young woman's skirt and a
young mans trousers show a bullying
shape over the knees, their owners
are leading sedentary lives or have
never learned to walk correctly. This
part Of the lower limbs should be kept
straight, and the ball Of the foot, not
the heel, should touch the ground
first. When the head Is bent for long
hours over sewing machine or ledger
or onion bed, It is not an easy matter
to pull II back to It's proper position
and make II stay there, and II seems
so much more easy and comfortable
to let the chest sink than to hold 1t
up to its right place; but the demands
OF health and beauty are identical In
the matter OF a head held easily, not
realistically, back. and a chest kept
In the highest and most advanced
position.
It is a striking TACT that this atti'
tude of head and ciest is expressive
not only of health and grace, but OF
the finer mental qualities. The EN-
barrassed boy drops his head; II he
would hold his head up, his nervous
ness would disappear. The shy cir
thinks that every one in the room Is
looking at her, and her chest SINKS
but II she would hold It up-assup'

OF his chest and held by an invisible
hand above him. All he has to do =!

NaDOleon's Designs on Morocco.

Before Napoleon Ill, emperor OF
France, became interested in the
Mexican empire project he had a plan
in mind for certain mysterious mill
tary operations in Morocco. A
writer says: The German agent oi
a firm Of Liege gunsmths used to go
at dead Of night to private door In
the Rue St. Honore, press button
and be received In secret by Louis
Napoleon himself. The German was
to secure arms to the order of Ma
poleon. but all was to be secret, Pay
ment was to be made through a Swiss
banking house, as part Of the capital
OF railway in the GrIsons. But II
all came to nothing Mexico claimed
the horizon and the German and his
gurs we're forgotten and the secret Of
It all Is still to seek"

Twenty ounces Of food and a few

The delicate machine which this

MUST NOT USE TOWELS

Property Clerk Simms Issues Order
Against Careless Clerks at
District Building.

Property Clerk r. d. Simms inclines TO
the belief that the towels furnished the
employees of the District Building are
not meant to be used for cleaning ink
wells. He adileres to the ancient theory
that their purpose is to assist in the
cleanliness of the clerks themselves.
Hence an order issued today calling
attention to the fact that the messen-
ger in charge of the towel service has
several times reported having found
towels bat5iy stained and practically
ruined by having been used TO clean
ink wells. Hereafter the employee re-
sponsible for deliberately damaging the
towels used by offices and departments
viii be required TO replace the property
or make good its value TO the District.
