How to Cure STOPPING.

One of the greatest and most COM
mon deformities of the day, observes
a medical writer, is one that with care
and attention can be remedied. It is
the round shouldered or STOPPING habit.
Many of the most natural figures show
this tendency to stoop, while In the
narrow chested it is marked to pain
full degree. And yet by raising oneself
leisurely upon the toes in a perpendicu-
lar position several times a day this
deformity could be easily rectified To
do this properly one must be in per-
feetly upright position, the arms drop
ping at the sides, the heels well to-
gether and the toes forming an angle
of 45 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
swaying the body out Of its perpen-
dicular 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 if perse-
vered in will ultimately show an In
creased chest measurement, develop
ment of lung power and perfectly
straight and erect figure-Pearson's

Two Queer Cases.

Among the curious things in life few
are more amazing than the constitu-
tional peculiarities 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 a man to whom rice in
any form was poison. Some friends
wished to test this persons susceptible
ity, and at dinner surreptitiously got
him to partake Of biscuits in each of
which was a grain Of rice lie 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 gooseberry acted as power
full excitant 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
masGueraded as champagne. At a pub
lie dinner he whispered to his neighbor
that it was gooseberry wine they were
drinking. and as proof he turned up
his shirt sleeve and showed him the
rash observation-disclosures Globe.

BY and by the horns began to show
big scoopy surfaces, different from any
thing the moose had ever seen. for he
was brought up away from other
moose. He asked the deer what they
thought about such horns as his, and
they told him it was great mistake,
his horns should come in prongs like
theirs; they advised him to get some
one to break them apart or file them
down.
"Gumpv' said Old Lady Moose.
"Your horns are made thus so as to

later and wanted his horns taken Of

thought them too big, she told him she
was going to take him to the moose
grazing ground in the spring and then
he would find what his horns were for.
When they went to the moose grazing
ground they met any number of young
moose, who concluded that they would
try a fight with the new moose that
had come. Then, oh. then, he found out

what Makes the Trout shys

The shyness of the summer trout OF
the still spfinghole is due not entirely
to his keen eye trained by the quietude
of transparent waters. 1t is to be cred
tied more to his gregariousness. The
cool places and deeper pools of the
trout stream are apt to be few and hive

Der, say, fifty fish it means hundred
watclful eyes and collective shyness
adjusted to that Of the most. timid fish
of the fifty, whose sudden dash to safe
ty gives the warning signal to all. A
single nervous trout-and there are
usually several-is thus enough to scat
ter big school in n flash and battle the
hopes of the angler.-CiareIce Deming

It was q glad relief to him when 40
heard her voice calling him soon after
daylight.
The sky had lightened up. but the
blizzard was still booming away. Jim
made coffee and fried bacon and
warmed up the frozen bread and In
vited Miss Stacy to breakfast. She had
passed the worst night of her life and
lost her appetite. What she wanted
was to reach her Aunt james In the
quickest time possible. Jim listened to
her request and then shook his head.
We've got to wait awhile for this
blizzard to let up he replied. I'VE
couldn't go ten rods without being lost.
and being lost would mean being dead.
Lemme tell you how bull throwed me
over the fence two years ago and chirk
you up a bit"
The girl refused to be chirked. She
sat swathed in horse blankets ike q
mummy, and her tears formed iclcies
on her cheeks. Noon came, and the
blizzard was still with them. Jim tried
to make her take hopeful view OF
things by asserting that he was born
and reared in that locality and had
never known blizzard to last over
four days, but she wept instead OF
smiled. Finally ut O'Clock In the
afternoon she made an announcement.
Il am going. l won't stay here an
other minute. If you Cont want to
come along you needn't" she said
| firmly.
.sThere's only one way you can co.
replied Jim after stepping aside to
measure the depth of the snow. I'll
have to take you on my back. You
never can make it otherwise. I'm stout
enough to carry you and bag of TIA
| tiers besides, and il don't hurry too
much can keep straight course"
| The girl demurred and protested; but,
/ finding no other way, she at last con-
sented. He stopped down, lifted her
up and set off with her. 1t was des-
! perate undertaking, and they We're a
! full hour making the mile they had to
go, but he finally deposited her on the
doorstep, raped for Aunt Jane and
| then said good night and plunged into
| the storm again. Two evenings later,
/ when the blizzard had vanished and
| the highways had been dug out, he
| knocked at Aunt James door. This
time he had on a boiled shirt, with a
pair Of celluloid cuffs under his coat
sleeves, and as Minnie rose up and be-
fore she could utter word of thanks
he said:
Miss Stacy, love you. I love you
heap. I never loved gal as / do
you. l intended all along to ask you
to marry me, and / have been fgur-
ing where we would live after mar
rage. But it's all off now. I've went
and gone and made hero of myself
and won your eternal gratitude. You'd
be willing to marry me because l saw

that. Take back your troth and marry

homeward, but he had the conscious
ness that he had done right, and it may
be mentioned here that he made 2O(
