The four covered practically the whole

The sailor was standing now, with

The firing in the valley slackened and

a better shot for q goal in the midst
of a hard fought scrimmage than he
made with that tub for the head of the

Hew to Cure STOPPING.

One Of the greatest and most COM
mon deformities Of the day, observes
medical writer, is one that with care
and attention can be remedled. 1t Is
the round shouldered or STOPPING habit.
Many Of the most natural figures show
this tendency to stoop, while In the
narrow chested 1t is marked to a pain
full degree. And yet by raising oneself
lelsurely upon the toes In perpendlcu-
lar position several times a day this
deformlty could be easily rectihe6. To
do this properly one must be In a per-
fectly upright position, the arms drop
ping at the sides, the heels we'll to-
gether and the toes forming an angle
Of 40 degrees. The rise should be
made very slowly and from the balls
Of both feet, and the descent should be
accomplished In the same way without
swaylng the body out Of Its perpen-
dlcular line. The exercise Is not an
easy one, but may be accomplished by
perseverance and patience. 1t can be
modified, too, by standing first on one
leg, then on the other. Initiating and
raising the chest at the same time are
part Of the exercise. and II perse-
vered in will ultimately show an in.

Two Queer Cases.

Among the curious things in life few
are more amazing than the constitu-
tlonal pecullarltles occasionally met
with. The professor who delivered the
Introductory address to the students
at one of the London hospitals thought
1t well to put his audience on their
guard.
He instanced two very singular cases.
One was that of man to whom rice In
any form was poison. Some friends
wished to test this PERSONS susceptible
ity, and at dinner surreptltiouslJ got
him to partske of biscuits In each of
which was q grain of rice. He ate two
or three biscuits and soon after had TO
leave the table. declaring that he was
being poisoned by rice. though he was
absolutely certain he had not partaken
Of any.
The other case was one In which the
juice of a goOseberry acted as a power
full excltant and produced at once a
virulent skin eruption. This man was
so very susceptible that he could de-
tect gooseberry juice even when It was
masqueraded as champagne. At pub
lie dinner he whispered TO his nelghb,r
that It was gooseberry wine they wee
drinking, and as proof he turned Zip
his shirt sleeve and showed hIm Ia

Memorials In an English Church -
Girls True to First Love.
There are seven virgins garlands''
still In existence in Minsterley church,
Salop, the first Of them bearing the
date 1854 and the last 1851.
They consist Of silk ribbons and
paper, ball shaped, and are covered
with rosettes, the inside center Of the
cane or wire frame supporting a pair
Of paper gloves. They represent ro-
mantle custom of very ancient origin
and are sacred to the memory Of girls
who while betrothed in their youth
lost their intended husbands by death,
yet remained true to their first loves.
Each maiden designed her own gar
land, and at her death this simple en-
blem was borne before her by the vii
lage lasses. the white gloves being aft
erward added. After the ObseQuies
these garlands were suspended in the
village church on rod bearing at its
extremity heart in the shape Of an
escutcheon, upon which the initials and
date were Inscribed. These were origi-
nally fixed above the maiden's pew.
Some Of the earliest and forgotten
garlands were composed of real flow
ers, but later the covered hoops de-
scribed were substituted.

The Gardener

1t is at once the JOY and the despair
Of a gardener that his work is never
done. His materials are growing,
changing, ever varying things This is
an endless delight to a man who lives
with his garden and watches his plans
grow up. When he makes a garden for
another 1t Is a different matter. Then,
after spending his best thought and
skill, the garden must be turned over
into the hands OF the Phllistlne, who
may, doubtless win. spoil his color eff
fects. make gaudy what before was
rich, introduce tawdry display where
before was sensitive delicacy. These
are the things that try mems souls and
will continue to try them until the own
ers Of large places acquire some de-
gree of sympathy with and under
standing of art.-Century.

Persian Drnmatica.

A traveller, speaking Of some Of the
oddities Of Persian customs when view
ed with occidental eyes, said:
Depending as we do upon illusion
and scenic effects In our theaters, the
presentation OF a Persian play by ma
tive performers strikes the westerner
as little short Of ridiculous, the extreme
solemnlty Of all concerned making the
appeal to hllarity all the stronger. In
one of their favOrite miracle plays the
prophet is supposed to ascend to heav-
en-, and this dramatic incident is ac-
compllshed by the very simple expedi-
ent Of drawing him up from the stage
and out of sight with a block and
tackle The tackle is attached to his
belt by an attendant in plain view Of
the audience. SO strong, however, is
the imaginative power In the oriental
that many of the onlookers will be OBJ
served weeping openly" - Harper's

A wonderful sensitive plant

An incident related by the author Of
THE Pearl of India" In his description
Of the fora Of Ceylon is almost un-
canny, although we are assured that 1t
is true. 1t Is about the mlmosa, or
sensitive plant and makes one almost
wonder whether the plant has intelli-
gence. The doctor, one Of the charac-
ters of the book, while sitting with the
family on the broad piazza which form
ed the front Of the bungalow Of a
coffee plantation recognized a thrifty
sensitive plant, and 1t was made the
subject of remark. He called bis
young daughter of eleven years from
the house.
Lena" said he, Ego and kiss the mi-
mosa."
The child did so, laughing gleefully,
and came away. The plant gave no tok-
en- of shrinking from contact with the
pretty child.
"Now," said the host, will you touch
the plantY
Rising to do SO, he approached II
with one hand extended, and before 1t
had come fairly In contact the nearest
spray and leaves wilted visibly.
