ing, noon and night, without the slightest
untoward results from their practice.
A stout stick of three OF four feet In
length is the only apparatus required.
A good-sized walking stick will answer,
if it be not too heavy; and even a broom
handle will do, if nothing else be at hand.
II must not be so light that there will
be no compensating leverage; so thick
that small miladi cannot grasp and meet
the fingers around its circumference;
nor so heavy as to be a strain upon her
yet unframed muscles. Indeed, the
average broom handle offers the best So
luton of the problem.
First, little miladi must be taught to
stand. Most children stand fairly cor
rectly, if they are not permitted to ac-
quire the stopping over habit in school.

When this is done with the hands and
the pole behind the back the chest and
the shoulders will be broadened. Indeed,
all of the exercises where the pole Is
held in front of the body should be re-
peated with the pole and arms in the
reverse position, that is, behind the
back.
To strengthen the muscles Of the ankle
and calf Of the leg, the hopping stunt
will prove beneficial. One knee rests
upon the pole, which must be held firm
ly, else the small girl will "come nasty
cropper." The length and the number
Of the hops taken will be in accordance
with her proficiency. Teach her to take
1t slowly at first, to make the steps OF
equal length, and to aim at doing il
gracefully and easily rather than quick
", or covering a set course ahead OF all
the others. Each foot must be exercised
alternately.
Vaulting with the pole will prove a
fascinating amusement after the, small
pupil has acquired sufficient control OF
her muscle to render this exercise safe.
Do nCt take this up until all Of the
other exercises prescribed have been
thoroughly mastered, and the little folk
can perform any and sundry of the mo-
tions gone through instantly upon de
mand.
Drill them so that command and ac-
ton are almost instantaneous, and the
co-or6 Aatio-- between brain and nerve
aud muscle becomes well established and
absolute. Here Is where the habit Oi
implicit and immediate obedience shows
the best of physical results. The brain
receives the order, the nerves convey
It to the muscles, and the muscles put
il into action. And in this way thC
health of every part Of the body is bene
fitted aud a symmetrical development as
sured.
The vaulting exercises will lead to 2
lightness and airiness OF carriage anc
motion. Begin with the length Of thu

small folks adopt and which their el-
ders hopefully announce that they will
outgrow. The result is that the small
child is left to grow up with this fault,
the bones and muscles Of the foot and
ankle become set in the wrong position,
and her dancing is likely to be anything
but graceful under such conditions.
Dancing masters are often wont to
wax eloquent over this common fault;
and there is one famous ballet master
abroad-he has numbered queens and
princesses, to say nothing oi grand dukes
and duchesses, among his pupils-who
positively refuses TO accept a pupil that
contemplates a professional dancers ca

fault.

the little folks to make Q plummet line,
and show them how chin, chest and toes
should all OF them be on an exact straight
line when they stand upright Any small
weighty article, such as a paper weight,
or the half-pound weight from the
kitchen scales, tied to a piece of stout
twine will do.
Now they are ready to begin with the
staff or pole. Show them how to hold
it, firmly though lightly at either end,
about six inches from the tip.
First the pole is held at the level Of
the waistline, just touching the body.
The arms are bent ct the elbow, and the
little pupil is told to take a full breath
and hold it while you count three. Then
the pole is thrust outward until the arms
are Strengthened, and the breath is emit
ted at the same time. At first begin this
slowly, and then make the pushing of
the pole quicker and L ore forcible. After
ward make two motions, the push out
and the draw back, TO the one breath;
then three and so on, making the in
crease gradual.
Next the pole Is held at rest-this Is
holding il in front Of the waistline with
the arm muscles relaxed. After a full
breath il is lifted as high above the head
as the little arms will reach, held there
while you count three, and then lowered,
Repeat as often as may be.
The same exercise is then to be fol

for the first attempts will surely be
made far beyond the youngsters strength
to accomplish. Mark the standing point
and the landing point, and in this way
the daily or weekly progress can readily
be measured.
For the first few times the pole must
be held at an arms length in front, one
end well braced on the floor, and the
two hands grasping each other and about
six or eight inches apart Putting all

To ADDRESS NORTH CAROLINA
FARMERS.

Mr. T. r Parker. secretary of the
North Carolina division of the South
ern Cotton Association, sends us fbe
following notice of appointments by
Hon f. ID. Smith, Of South Carolina,
to address the farmers of this state.
Mr.. Parker makes the request that
other state papers will copy no
tee of dates and places of Mr.. Smith s
addresses. We urge that his request
be complied with by all editors whose
papers circulate i'm territory adjacent
to the localities named.
We hope that at each place Of speak
ing the farmers will make a point OF
being present and giving Mr.. Smith
their attention AS Mr.. Parker says.
he has done good work in South Car
olina, and, no doubt, those in our
state who 90 to hear him will be
fully rewarded for so doing. This is
them ost important matter that has
been before the southern farmers in
many years. If they do not profit
by what is being done in their behalf
it will be their own fault

says:
Hon. E. d. Smith. president of the
South Carolina division and financial
agent of the Southern Cotton Associa-

Mr.. Smith is an earnest worker and
a fine speaker. He was delegate TO
the New Orleans convention and took
an active part in it's deliberations. He
was one of the speakers on the pro-
gramme and member of some OF the
most important committees By his
untiring efforts he has placed South
Carolina in the front rank of the or
ganized states in the present move
ment 20 hold cotton and reduce acre
age to be planted. I besDeak for him
the attendance of all farmers and bus
mess men at his various appointments
who desire to see the south occupy the
proud position that may be hers by in
tcllgent cooperation. .
Now is the time to work. The next
forty days will decide the question as
to whether the cotton farmers Of the
South are to be freemen or slaves. if
20 be freemen we must stand firm by
the action of the New Orleans conven-
ton: if to he slaves we have to only
surrender and let the opportunity
