again, when the heels may be lowered
until the feet rest fiat on the floor.
Probc5ly nine times out of ten the be-
ginner who is not accustomed to taking
exercise will be unable to do it correct
~, but with little perseverance the
knack will come, and with 1t the neces-
sary balance, while the muscles of the
abdomen and hips will begin to show
a slight decrease in size. To vary this
exercise the hands may be raised and
twirled over the head as the body
sinks down. and then as it becomes
erect again the hands may be dropped
at the sides.
1t will be too fatiguing TO take this
exercise more than ten or fifteen times
in succession at first. but the number
should be increased each morning until
fifty is reached, and the same rule
should be followed with the other hip
exercises suggested. The best way is
to find which particular one suits indi-
vidual needs and then have the ma
jority of the morning exercises OF this
kind. However, 1t is we'll to indulge
in variety in order to keep the inn
portant muscles flexible and in good
condition. They will be quite lame and
tender to the touch at first. but a cold
bath and good rub Will help TO harden
them and take out the soreness. while
regularity in exercising will soon make
them able TO stand almost any amount
of hard work.
Another stretching exercise that is
recommended for the reduction of the
hips, and one that belongs to the en-
pire class, is very effective and by some
considered Il little bit difficult. The
first position is to stand facing the
wall with the arms thrust straight out
In front and with the body far enough
away from the wall so that the arms
ara perfectly horizontal and the feet
are on c straight line with the head.
The palms of the hands should be fiat
again 4 the wall, with the fingers up.
Then, with the al ms, still in the same
line and the hands about ten inches

for early morning practice If the mus

properly stretched they are naturally

flesh is disposed. of. So for the first
exercise the one to try is as follows:
With the heels placed together and the
feet spread at an angle. the body
should be held erect. chest expanded
and head up. Then the knees should
be bent very slowly at first. and spread
apart as the body is allowed to sink
down until it assumes a sitting posture.
While the bending is being done the
heels are lifted from the floor, so that
when stopped the entire weight of the
body is resting on the toes. At first
this exercise is quite difficult. espe-
cially If the individual is large and
heavy or lacks poise. 1t Is also an ex-
ercse for the acquiring of balance, and

youth and are beginning to be con-

with pronounced hips looks well in an

gown. AS tho folds OF the material

Guilty encountered by women who want
TO adopt the new mode and who have
been rather proud Of their hourgiass
figures. Their hips must decrease in
circumference whether their waists do
or not. The happiest srrar cement is
where the waist retains its roundness
and tenderness wnlle the measure
Tcnt Of the hips IS lessened by at least
three or four inches.
There Is only one way 20 accomplish
that Is by going through a certain
set OF exercises designed especially
for the reduction OF the hips. To
women who are not in the habit OF
exercising the treatment is somewhat
heroic. and the empire gown stands for
something more than a sacrifice OF
avoirdupois. Il represents a sacrifice
OF from fifteen TO thirty minutes OF
sleep in the morning; OF many lazy
and comfortable rests. during the day.
and sometimes OF meats and special
dishes that one may be particularly
fond %. But there Is never anything

Denditure, and where is the woman
who viii not make a few sacrifices for
the sake OF being more beautiful. more
attractive in form and feature. and,
above all, Up TO date7 There may be a
few who decline to make sacrifices for
beauty's sake. but they are usually
hopeless specimens anyway. And such
members OF the fair sex are not worth
considering either by fashion oriEl-
majors or their more fortunate sisters.

Federal Labor Arbitration.

10 tbe Eultof OF Inc star.
The general welfare and the blessings OF
liberty of this entire country are being in
fringed upon quite often by the question of
square deaT' between capital and labor.
and while 1t Is fact beyond a doubt that
the result Of labor of the entire country Is
the wealth and prosperity of the country
not. as some believe, that capital is the
only thing that Is necessary to the happi-
ness of it's citizens-captal does not pro-
duce the necessities Of life, it Is labor, the
sturdy toll of the agriculturist, the me-
chanic, the clerk, in fact, all persons who
labor for salary, and believe every true
American citizen desires that the laborers
of the country should receive for their
labor just and equable salary.
Now to settle he differences Of opinion
between capital and labor as to what would
be an equable compensation, l think, should
be settled by arbitration, and as the gov
ernment Is divided into three distinct
branches-legislat!ve, executive and judi
clal. the judicial is to settle all questions
OF law and differences between persons
hence l am of the opinion that all these
questions should be decided by a federal
judge, in the locality in which such ques-
tions arise, and that the decision rendered
should be final.
Now, in the absence of any written law,
how shall the question of compensation be-
tween the employer and the employe be
submitted to the judiciary be brought
about?
l think that the executive branch of the
government is the only authority, on the
ground that all these questions of differ
ence between capital and labor very ma
terlally affect the domestic tranquility
general welfare and the blessings of liberty
OF the entire country, which are the great
fundamental principles of this grand re-
public. JOSIAH MILLARD.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, August 2S.-All of the grain
markets were very weak at the opening to-
day. The heavy selling commenced in the
wheat market soon as trading began
commission houses leading with heavy offer
ings and pit traders following on. The
bearish factors were weather conditions and
lower cables. September wheat opened
three-quarters to 1h lower at S9M to 80
and sold at S9A
Heavy selling by commission houses broke
the corn market sharply. The market lacked
support and buying was scattered. Septem-
ber corn opened one-half lower at 5S% and
sold up to 59h.
Oats followed wheat and corn downward
There was a general selling by commission
houses and the market was poorly support
ed. September oats opened ssaA lower at
5Oa5OA and for a time held around the lat
ter figure.
Provisions were lower, in sympathy with
grain and on selling by longs. September
pork was down 22h at 1880. Lard was
five lower at 9.OO. Ribs were down 8 cents
at $40.
Prices reacted from the opening decline
because of reported cold weather in the
northwest. The high figures were not main
tained. however. because OF heavy selling
on the bulges. The close was easy, with

The corn market rallied somewhat from
