To Enlarge the Legs and Arms.

1 have prof1ted several times by your
advice, but this is the first time l have
written. My arms and legs are very
small and / would like to do something
to enlarge them before summer, and as
| work all day and am very tired at
night, would not have much time for eX-
erctse. However, could give some short
time to this. Is there nothing / could
apply? / also have a stiff leader on the
left side of my neck, and ii protrudes
out somewhat. Is there aay remedy?
Thanking you in advance, 1 am yours,
TROUBLED.
One Of the easiest and simplest exer-
ciSeS to Develop shapely legs is to rise
on the tip toes frequently This devel-
ops the calf and keeps the ankle small.
You can practice walking on tip toes in
your room while dressing. Since receipt
of your letter | have written an exhaus-
tive article on how to improve the arms,
and YOU Will find 1t contains all the in
| formation you need in this respect.
Give the stiff leader in your neck a
| hand rubbing every night, with witch
| hazel or some good liniment. Old-fash-
| toned soap liniment is excellent.

hair, even IN this day, when so
many details in regard to 1t are
frequently published This lack OF
knowledge and consequent carelessness
is the cause of many of the cases of
premature grayness. falling hair, and
diseases OF the scalp. A healthy scalp
means healthy hair, and. therefore.
great care should be taken TO keep it
in a perfectly healthy condition if a
vigorous growth OF hair is to be OBJ
tanned.
Neglect of the scalp and hair is fatal
TO health and beauty. Women are
gradually awakening to the fact thai
the hair must be exercised; that it must
be brushed and fed, and when sickly
and starved it must be doctored, in the
same manner as other members OF the
body.
No other part of the human body is

tons. more in need of external nour-
ishment. or more responsive to proper
care. Give your hair proper care, and

IN THE DowN-HILL OF LIFE

BY JOHN COLLINS.
In the down-hill of life. when | find Pm
declining,
May my lot no less fortunate be
Than a snug elbow chair can afford for
reclining,
And cot that o'erlooks the wide sea !;
With all ambling pad pony to pace DER
the lawn,
While carol away idle sorrow,
And blitne as the lark that each day halls
the dawn,
Look forward with hope for tomorrow.
With a porch at my door, both for shelter
and shade too,
As the sunshine or rain may prevail
And a small spot of ground for the use of
the spade too,
With barn for the nse OF the fail
A COW for my dairy. dog for my game,
And purse when friend wants to
borrow;
I'll envy no nabob his riches or fame,
Nor what honors await him tomorrow.
From the bleak northern blast may my
cot be completely
Secured by neighboring hill
And at night may repose steal upon me
more sweetly
By the sound of murmuring rill
And while peace and plenty | find at my
board,
With a heart free from sickness and
sorrow,
With my friends may share what to-day
may afford,
And let them spread the table to-
morrow.
And when | at last must throw off this
frail covering
Which have worn for threescore years
and ten,
On the brink of the grave I'll not seek
to keep lowering,
Nor my thread wish to spin DER again ;
But my face in the glass I'll serenely
survey,
And with smiles count each wrinkle
and furrow
As this old wornout stuff, which is thread
bare to-day,
May become everlasting tomorrow.

of good old stock, and Parsons was only
the indifferently educated son of Sir Ma

So he asked
