matter seriously until a novel iA,a
occurred to her, and she cried with
enthusiasm:
"Wc will play poor people! Let MS
play that We are poor. frightfully
poor, so poor that We have only two
lackeys.'

print.

left" the proprietor said. "but l

The woman said she only wanted
one, and her tone indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex-
planned that the one she had with her
had been given to one Of her children.
Another child, she stated, was sick,
and was crying for . picture such as
his brother had.

Proper Method Of Waking.

To derive any real benefit from
walking, the step must be light and
elastic; swing the body so easily from
one leg to the other that its weight
is not felt. The harmonious play of
the muscles imparts a supple grace
and litheness that is felt mentally as
well as physically. and produces a
healthy glow, showing that the slug
gish blood is stirred to action in the
most remote veins. This tanner OF
walking, as may be imagined,
strengthens the whole body, giving
tone to the nerves and producing Just
the sort OF healthful fatigue which
encourages sound rest and beautiful
slumber.
