Await DeveIopnents

Washington, Sept. 13.-Cuban af.
fairs were quiet in the departments
here, which are actively interested in
the revolutionary movement. The
state department continues to receive
advices from Charge d'Affaires Sleep
er, but the reports only confirm press
dispatches. 1t is known that army
officers are keeping in close touch
with the Developments and are ready
for any orders that may be deemed
necessary BY the president

PiTh ANU POINT.

Who has to suffer for your fool acts1
If you do wrong. sooner or later
you'll get caught.
Might may make right. but It doesn't
always make good.
Next day after you throw a thing
away it becomes valuable
You have your weak spots. Is not
surprising that other people have
theirs
There are some people who ask for
no greater distinction in life than to
be asked IN time Of trouble ito break
the news."-Atchison Globe.

sarasate. who Never Practices.

Sarasate, the grea: violinist, is in one
respect very fortunate among must
clans. He knows nothing whatever of
the drudgery and WEAKNESS of prac-
ticing. Most well known singers and
great executants go on practicing with
more or less regularity all their lives.
Not so Pablo Sarasate. He takes up
his violin for his own amusement, but
his duency and facility are such that
he can dispense with the irksome daily
task of playing to keep his hand in.

The garn cnt should never be boiled

Strengthen Your Back

Of all muscles of the body. those OF
the back are, perhaps, the most import
ant In almost all Of our movements,
from the simplest to the most compli-
Gated, these muscles are used. Walk
ing, standing, bending, going upstairs,
lifting & chair. boarding a ear and in a
hundred other everyday acts the mus
cles Cf the back are brought INTO aC,
tion. How shall we best develop these
muscles and keep them In good con-
dition is the question.
/ believe that the easiest and best
way 10 accomplish this is by a few
minutes regI ar daily exercise, and the
following movements are, 10 my mind,
excellent for the purpose: Raise and
lower the weight slowly and rhythmi-
cally on the toes. This Will not only
develop the muscles OF the back. but
those Of the calf OF the leg as weIl ~
makes the ankles flexible and brings
the body into poise,
Il Is well when practicing this eXsr-
else 10 keep the eyes fixed on some
point straight ahead. Now, seat y>our-
self easily In a low chair. placing the
feet upon hassOck or footstoOl. Ex-
hale the breath, and. as you do 50. lean
forward. stretching the hands toward
the toes Hold the position for twenty
10 thirty seconds.
This exercise IS peculiarly valuable for
the correction Of q hollow back, and will
often relieve a severe bacSache. Let
any one. for instance. after several
hours Of hard work. wiring, sewing.
etc, try the above exercise, and she viii
soon discover that IL is "a perfect cure
for discomfort in the region OF the
back.

EVENING GOWN USEFUL
A Seryiceabe Sort of Gown for Evening Wear Now
Can Later Be Used as Dinner Frock

a handsome evening gown is perhaps
less necessary Just at this time of year
than al any other season. but all the
same II is never safe 10 be without
al least one elaborate evening dress
IL is seldom that any evening dress
made up last spring Is IN iii condition
even for a dfnher gown by the autumn,
and anyway a spring or summer frock
never looks just right now. Therefore
the only way out of the difficulty is TO
have made up at once a costume that
is now suitable for any sort OF even
