Developing the Lower Limbs.

Few men and almost no women have
the full use Of their lower limbs.
The legs are apt to be stiff and clumsy
with the best of us. To make them
strong, nimble and graceful homework

racking, foot and leg destroying high
heels so commonly seen. They were
never made to walk upon-never-

she rather likes the looks Of them.
STOPPING forward with the knees
rigid and the heels together strengthens
and limbers the muscles of the back Of
the leg throughout its whole length.
There are a few movements over which
every woman alive can spend two or
three minutes a day. One Of these is
standing upon the toes and moving the
heels rapidly up and down. This linn

upon one leg while you shake the other
vigorously. Also swing the free leg
back and forth, then from side to side

Arm and Chest Culture.

In performing that admirable physic-
al culture exercise, Homework, it h
frequently necessary to lift the arms
above the head, as in wiping dust from
walls, brackets, chandeliers and the top
Of picture frames. Nothing will do
more to develop "a noble chest and
shapely arms than just this. When
woman ties a cloth over broom, then
lifts the broom above her head and
gives walls and ceiling vigorous rub
bling, she thereby lifts her whole mus
cular system. She thus raises muscles
that have Sudden down into ungraceful
prominence around the waist and pulls
them again into the place where ma
ture put them when she was a child

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.


To he Handsome = woman Must
First Be Healthy.
Good digestion, perfect cleanliness OF
the body, abundant exercise and fresh
air, plenty of sleep, serene, sunny
mind-these are the essentials Of good
health. Next, good health is the foun-
dation Of all physical beauty whatso-
ever.
But life is too short for the average
woman to spend half her time in
breathing exercises and posturings
merely for the sake of bodily culture.
She has something else to do-at least
let us hope so. But undoubtedly she
can do useful work and by that very
occupation get also the proper physical
culture.
To begin, let us go at our Homework
in cheerful, happy mind, knowing all
the while that it Is good for us, soul
and body. Next let us remember al
ways to stand and stoop in the right
way. How to stand you know already
spine erect, weight mainly on front
Of foot, chest up. The right way, and
the only right way, to stoop is to stoop
without slumping. Bend the body
from the waist and hips, never in the
slovenly, ugly way from the knees.
Hold always the stomach and abdo-
men in, the knees rigid, then curve the
spine over forward from the waist
downward in long, graceful sweep.

STRAIN GE GAME.
Italians Roll a Cheese at a Mark, the
 Winner Taking 1t.

From the New York Tribune
 An American passing Thomas Jefferson
 park recently was struck with the actions
 of a group of Italians standing in the
 middle of the park, They were doing
 something unusual to his eyes. One of
 them shouted "Gambar which the spec
 tator was informed afterwards meant
 "Legsl" or, in the American vernacular,
 Down front.' The group scattered lit
 tie. A disk several inches thick, foot or
 more in diameter and dingy shade of
 yellow in color rolled across the pebbled
 ground from It's center. The heavy disk
 plowed It's way for several rods toward
 set mark. It fell over on It's side sev- eral feet short of the mark. One of the
 men marked the spot at which Its jour ney ended. and the cheese, for such the disk proved to be- was carried back to the group. A second man took it up,
 much he would a bowling ball, and,
 shouting "Gambal'' at grimy Italian youngster who had run toward the mark
 which the last roller had attained. he threw 1t forward on It's edge He beat the first roller by several inches. The others in turn rolled the cheese, some sending it beyond, some falling short.
 The man who had rolled the cheese near est to the mark tucked the disk, now
 somewhat grimy from much trundlins l over the ground of the park, under his arm and walked away with 1t.
 The spectator, much interested, talked with one of the Italians who could speak
 English with some degree of intelligence,
 and found that they had been playing one
 of the several games which are played with cheeses in southern Italy. Each of them had paid the piper after the fash ion in Italy by contributing to the pur- | .,lA xxrtfh hxa m

The Italians use this cheese in another game, which develops the biceps. They throw it with all the might and main of the

Aggressive bull speculation fin the stock market has continued active throughout the week and is still under the control of the same leading interests and large operators who have been behind the movement since It's inception two months ago. Nothing like its force has ever been witnessed before and 1t seems no nearer the eliminating point than recent ly. The developments of early In the week in connection with the Chicago bank trouble were indicative of good healthy setback, but there has been a fresh out burst of bullish activity and renewed gen. eral buying the last two days under the lead of the Traction stocks and the de- yelopment of the deal to merger the Met ropolitan with the 1nterboro company and also the continued heavy buying movement and steady advance in Union Pacific.

There was much speculation as to the stability of the I per cent guarantee dividend on Metropoli- tan Street Railway. which has been the basis of more than one legal attack Metropolitan shares moved irregularly, and Metropolitan securities were distinct- iY heavy Third Avenue, one of Metropoli- tan's leading lines was very strong, pre- sumably on tine assumption that the new deal would Strengthen it's position.
