Physical Culture.

Every girl and woman should have
timber muscles and straight back
and should carry her head and chest
persistently up. For chest develop
ment nothing is so good as constant
deep breathing. In getting timber
muscles more progress can be made
by number Of girls exercising to-
gether than by each alone, and of the
winter Improvement classes one may
well be devoted to physical culture
There are plenty Of cheap books that
give all necessary Instructions One
Of the best ways to become graceful
aud healthful IS to join a pedestrian
club that insists on its members walk
ing in exactly the right way, chest held
steadily up. arms swinging free. toes
turned slightly outward. During such
walks the clothing must be loose and
light. the breathing deep and slow.

A Girls Debating Club.

Women now speak in public almost
as frequently as men. There Is need,
therefore, for every country girl to
learn how to stand up gracefully and
express herself easily and readily in an
audience. even if the audience consist
only of her own girl friends. A girls
neighborhood debating club will inn
prove its members in general intelli-
gence and fuency and elegance of ex-
preston almost more than any other
agency. A president secretary and
critic are all the officers needed in the
debating club. A small book on par
liamentary usage can be had cheaply
as guide to the correct conduct of
meetings Then let every girl read a
good newspaper regularly to find out
what is going on in the world. 1t is
better to discuss in the club questions
of general public interest. Under no
circumstances should debater be al
lowed to read her speech. Notes may
be referred to, but that is all

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Nine-tenths of the failures intend to
do well.
If air castles were real, some people
wouldn't be satisfied.
We are always meeting people who
recall incidents that we had hoped
they had forgotten.
When people do not enjoy doing the
things we do, we are apt to think they
do not have good time.
Your neighbor is funny If you
throw his dog bone, he suspects you
of trying either to poison it or to win
its affection from him.
1t is interesting for a man to look
through his old effects if for no other
reason than he will see that he is not
as big fool as he used to be.
You may have such a fierce admira-
tion for the under dog as to be unfair
to the upper dog. The upper dog is of

PEOPLE or THE STAGE.

Theatrical Life Has Few Joys and
Much Bitterness.
Booth to whom Henry q. Abbey
would cheerfully have paid $1,000 a
uight for $50 consecutive nights, was
one of the most unhappy men on the
face Of Gods earth IT, had buried
;wo wives, been through the mortifica-
lion of bankruptcy and so far as world
II wealth is concerned, so far as the
comforts of settled home go, had yet
to make the one and secure the other.
This being the case, what do you sup
pose is the fate of minor people2 The
fact IS that they work hard, are under
paid, never play the parts they prefer,
pay much, by far the greater portion of
their salaries, for stage costumes, in
variably have a gang of hangers on
who eat the bread they earn, are out of
engagements most of the time and
ninety times out Of hundred die SO
poor that they are buried at the ex-
pense of their fellows. In the first
place. it is extremely difficult for them
to obtain a position, and, having a
position, how few its advantages.
They have to rehearse at inconvenient
times; they go out in all kinds of
weather regardless of their health or
comforts or home desires; they dress in
outlandish places, either wet, damp
and chilly or overheated They are at
the capricious mercy of speculative
managers, and having found by ex-
perience that there is very little sym
pathy for them, either before or behind
the footlights. they wrap themselves
in a garment of mental Indifference to
appearances, which is utterly misun-
derstood by a cynical and suspicious
world.

read from it half an hour Then let
fifteen minutes be devoted to such
matters as the history Of King Ar

life. Members should be specially ap-
