more lasting effect than amy one single
exercise performed to excess.
The first thing to get is the correct
poise Of the head. Time was when a
dropping chin and a downcast eye were
considered TO be the outward and visible
sign of an inward modesty Of grace and
of character But like many other old
time notions, this is exploded to-day;
and the girl who holds her head high,
her chin proudly up and looks the whole
world in the face with a clear, unflinch-
ing. straightforward glance, she is said
and rightly soto be a girl Of well-poised
character, sound health and good COM
mon sense.
But this correct and classical poise Of
the head-for our present day ideas Of
beauty have gone back ages and cen
turtles to the classical standards-is en-
tirely dependent upon strong and tense
muscles in the neck. shoulders and the
upper part of the back. Where those
muscles are loose and flabby from dis
use. there we have the dropping head
/ with its timid and often hangdog ex-
pression, and a more fruitful source of
/ the dreaded double chin and scanned
throat and neck it would be hard TO
imagine. And the condition Of the throat
and neck is an unfailing indication of
the age Of any girl. The face may be
smooth and plump but if the neck be
lined, the throat scanned with creases.
then a good ten years is added to her
appearance, in spite Of all she may do

up space, for your exercises are to be
simple; and do not be deluded into buy
ing those that require weights and pud-
leys, for they are entirely out Of date
and out Of place for the purpose you
desire.
The greater number of those offered
to-day consist of a metal or runner base
to which two handles are attached by
means of strong rubber lines or cords.
1t is the pulling upon these that brings
results, the natural resistance and resil-
iency of the rubber offering sufficient
pull for the operator to work with and
against. The best Of these can be at
tached to the back Of a door, or TO
hook screwed into the floor, and they
may be detached, rolled up and put out
of sight in an instant, so that when
the time for work IS over they are nc
longer on view.
To get down to the fundamental facts
of beauty. A fair face, n clear skin
bright eyes and an interesting expression
can never accompany a body that is neg
lected. The face is the mirror that re
fleets the condition of the body, and
proper care and attention paid to the
development of the body, the skin, th'
muscles and the circulation, registers it
self instantly in the face.
Old-fashioned people are fond Of say
ing that beauty is but skin deep. Well
they might go just a little bit deeper
and strike the truth, for beauty is bu
muscle deep, after all. Pay strict at

The proper cultivation of the muscles
Is the real secret and foundation of
bodily beauty.
"WhatP' one hears some all too slender
girl exclaim. "Whatl great big punches

In this world for me. I'd rather stick to
my skinniness, for that's smooth at any
rate, and there are no bumps and
lunches Of muscle to destroy what little
symmetry l may possess. No, indeed,
/ shall not put in my time cultivating
muscle"
But she has only made the mistake
that prevails among the thoughtess.
"'Tisn't muscle, but tits your muscles,
all of them, every muscle in your body,
that need cultivation; and when they are

the one who has the bumps out all over
him. The runner, the jumper, the
vaulter, hurdler, thrower, shot putter
and all the rest, develop the muscles
used In their exercises only, and let all
the rest go. And the result is that the
set that is overlooked has to call upou
its neighboring muscle to help out in
the strain, and the one set of muscles
become prominent and bunchy, while all
the rest remain flabby and often entirely
undeveloped.
But quite different is the idea un-
derlying the course Of procedure which
the slender girl is to undertake. I.oos,
and flabby muscles, inert tendons. a
slow and sluggish circulation, they car

extent of walking mile or so briskl,
every day, no matter what the weather

to the Identifying effects of her daily
walk.
For the benefit of the girl who would
cultivate beauty via the physical de,
velopment route there are some simpl,
exercises and GSoteiscrs that are truly
invaluable.
The first point is the selection of tn,
exerciser. There are on the market an,
number Of these, and each one is abou
as good as the other. There are but tw,
points to bear in mind in their purchase
and they are; Do not select a compli

upon the muscles back Of the neck, and
gradually those around the throat and
shoulders will be brought into trim. Re
peat this exercise standing sideways to
the exerciser, and then backward.
In order to acquire the broad shoulder
deep chest and the flat, straight back
that artists so much admire, one set OF
exercises can be combined 70 accomplish
all three desiderata. Slip the exerciser
into the ring on the floor and begin
with the back turned towards It. Draw
the cords up over the shoulders, turn
ing the forearm completely around as
the cord rises, and bring the handles
flat on the chest, making sure that
the cords cross the shoulder. Always
take a full and long inbreath on an up
ward pull and release it only when the
point is accomplished. Repeat this fac
ing the exerciser, and be sure that 1t is
the muscles of the back and shoulders
rather than those of the hips that bear
the strain. After a little you will be
able TO throw the strain just wherever
you desire. so well trained will the
muscles become. SO responsive to diree'
ton.
Standing sideways TO the exerciser

and then standing back 10 the machine
Next comes the lengthening Of the
waist line, and since Dame Fashion
demands the more slender waist for the
new styles, it behooves the girl who
would be fashionable to pay close at
tention to this point. Stand close up t

which must accompany the smaller waist

be attained you must learn to throw the
strain of the exercise upon the muscles
OF the hip. Here the floor hook will be
needed, and the straps well shortened.
Brace the feet, and begin TO draw upon
the cords, using the arms merely as
guide and throwing the strain upon the
hips. Repeat this standing front side

COAL AS MONEY.

bituminous shale, which extends
more or less for some miles. As Il
source of fuel this shale or coal has
been worked from very early times
and IS to the present day used by
the cottagers Of kimmeridge. Some
Of this shale is of so compact tex

have been discovered from time to

THE GOOSE FISH.
He Is Known By Many Names and Has
Curious hzbits.

One oi the most interesting OF the
many curious fshe, that people the
waters o. the Atlantic Is the goose
fish. which lobster men sometimes
use for batting their traps. The
names OF the fish are many, that 10y
which il l. known to Massachusetts
fishermen referring to the fact that
individuals have been known To
swallow live geese whole. Slowed
away somewhere is a record of seven
wild ducks having been taken from
the stomach of a goose fish, which
pulled them down one by one as
they were floating or swimming
about in quest Of food.
In Maine the goose fish sports a
name not at all suggestive OF lts
wild fowling habits. There II Is
often called the monk fish, notwlth-
standing that it has anything but
a monkish aspect. Rhode Islanders
call it the bellows fish; in Connectl-
cut il is known as the molligut; in
North Carolina as the allmouth,
which tallies closely with lis looks,
and in places on the other side OF
( the Atlantic the names wide gut and
/ kcttlemaw are applied.
/ Goose fishes are occasionally seen
swimming near the surface, though
ordinarily they are found on the
bottom. They are slow moving an
imals. with ready mouth for any
thing coming their way. Their
swallowing powers are practically
unlimited. Mackercl, sculpins, dog
fish. sea ravens, crabs, squlds and
Holsters have been found in their
stomachs by government experts
Sometimes they annoy fishermen by
swalloning the wooden buoys at
tachcd to their lobster pots.
