CULTIVATE RIGHT POSTURE
Never Sit with Shoulders Contracted and Lungs Drawn In, for It Is
 Dangerous Habit.

To keep the lungs in good condition and to insure full power for the voice, writes s. E. Taylor in the Globe Dem ocrat, one should never sit in that attitude so frequently adopted by girls and women. particularly when they desire to appear confidential, of stoop- ing over with the shoulders contracted and the chest drawn in. It will result in harm befalling both the voice and lungs-serious harm if much indulged in. Permitting the head to droop a little while talking is also bad for the vocal chords. and in this connection it may as we'll be observed that anyone

Etiouette of Elder Day.

An old manual of etiquette shows tha; the people of bygone days were not 90 different from those of the pres ent. for the treatise thinks it neces- sary to state that one should never ask a friend where she bought her gown and the uttermost far;hing of its cost. To this rule. however. an astonishing exception is made. One might ask these things. it seems. if one really wanted 10 get a gown like the enc in question. and were, there fore. asking sincerely for information. Evidently in those days. when sisters thought it smart to dress exactly alike. il was considered compliment to CODY a friends gown. Another in ,eresiing statement of this precious manual is that no lady looRs worse thaa when ''snswing a bone"

From its martial borders rose four-walled tower. capped at height of half thousand feet with a golden dragon. Beneath the dragon swung monster bell.
 The city was Ghent. The inserip- ton across the bell was simple: My rame is Roland; when am rung has, tily then there Is a fife; when 1 re- sound in peals there is a storm In Flanders"
 Jean de Lannoy was the bellman. For SO years he had swung upon the hempen chain which loosened Hollands tongue. He had called the burghers together to fight back invasions of the rorthmen. He had sisnaled for rebel lion and seen plebeians plunge their swords in one auother's backs.
 But to-day Jean de Lannoy was in grief. He was pulling. slowly and sadly. the final stroke upon the call which brought the weavers from their work and finished their day of toll. Hollands tongue beat out two pea;s which echoed across the city painted scarlet by the setting sun. Scarlet was C fitting hue. for Flanders had just washed herself in gore. Then. as though In ecboing challenge. rang out the sharp shrill notes of a bugle. De Lannoy hastily fixed the hempen rope tU the great spit in the wall and de- scended the stone stairs to the prison floor. He was met by a stout knock upon the outer door.
 ''who comes?" he shouted to the un- known invader. He leaned forward with ear inienily fixed against the cas- ing

who wants his voice to sound sweet and in good tone should never wear anything which presses tightly against the neck, or which is so high that one cannot bend it slightly without sense of choking or suffocation. High or tight collars or stocks, therefore, ought to be discarded. Smoking and hot drinks will also have pernicious effect on the vocal chords.
 As a final admonition, let it be un- derstood that no breathing, exercises ought to be indulged in for at least two hours after eating meal The action of the diaphgram will result in sickness at the stomach and will also retard the action of digestion. Exer- else before meals is best, and at no time should the diaphragm be too much contracted or the sensation of sickness at the stomach, due to its pressing down upon it, will be experi- enced.

 sat before the hearth in my dark ed study. was musing upon ange addition which the afternoon d brought to my curios. It had come bm Spain-whence the source or nor I knew not. My curio was an,iron tongue. eaten Eth the rust of exposure, corroded th the age of centuries. Here and ere were seams and cords that stood It like swollen veins in the forearm laborer. The rust first mistook blood. Blood was not incongruocs tn the fantasies which this strange ling sent swirling through my brain. Then there were two indistinct in- riptions, almost eaten away by the Sneycombing of the clements. At the 3per end of my iron cudgel deciphered
 aid of the microscope an indistinct te--1540. It was set across a coat-of-, ms. The escutcheon I could not ake out; I thought, however, that l W a bishops miter and a heads ans ax. On the swollen head was t in crude letters: "The Tongue of bland"
 With my strange cudgel of rusty ack came a scrap of parchment. evil kntly torn from tower register, cross the top o1 the page stood forth letters bolder than the rest the title 'shent." Then followed this strange Atry: .April IT, 154O-To Mir. Jacques Barra, kecu.ioner, for having tortured twice Ian de Lannoy. bellringer, 12 sous.

number might be added the name OF
Mrs. Robert p, Thompson, a respected
white woman who dropped dead Mon
day evening after seeing two negroes
shot and beaten in front of her home
Reports sent outside that at least
81 were killed have proven false and
the number IN this dispatch is correct.
Following the arrest, of 275 negroes
at the BI0wnvlle and Clark uniyersi
ties early today and the detention Of
about 100 Of these in Jail, the feeling
prevailed that al last peace had been
restored BY the i fang show of the
authorities
Almost simultaneously two negroes
were killed in distant part Of the
city by three policemen who had been
sent TO stop them shooting.
The main events of today were he

The gathering Of business and pro-

for vigorous action by the city execu

and saloons Resolutions demanding
that these places be closed and kept
closed perpetualIy were adopted.
In these demands the leading negro
ciergymen OF the city unite, promis

the common good and their influence
with their own people. They asked
protaetion of the authorities for the |
innocent of their own race, as well |
as for those of the whites. The min |
