Sacojno at Shoulders,

Are you letting yourself sag . bit
at the shoulders? Don't, if you want
to keep either young or well. There
is nothing SO fatally easy as to grow
round-shouldered. Keep a sharp watch
on yourself to prevent it.
Each morning stand up against the
jamb of a door and see il you have
begun to sag. Also walk around your
room each day with a piece of broom
stick or short umbrella under each
arm and brought across the back. This
keeps the chest up and head well
poised.
Deep breathing exercises. whenever
you think of them, will help ward OF
those round shoulders, also making e
practice to wall. with the chest IN.
This last is the simplest of all proven
tives, for if it IL always practised the
rest will follow.

Useful Remodelinq SUGGESTIONS,

Have you a last years white linen
suit which requires only a few new
little touches to make it suitable for
this summer? II SO, follow one of the
latest ideas from Paris, and introduce
a bit of color by using colored m
tonne for the trimming. Just a touch
of it will be sufficient. Perhaps you
will need to make only a new set OF
cuffs, and possibly an adjustable shawl
collar, which may be worn or removed
at your pleasure.
Then, again, you could introduce a
re%novating touch in your linen skirt
and-coat suit merely by changing the
buttons. II your suit happened to
have large pearl buttons last season
rip them OF, buy some molds and
cover them with cretonne.

IAN OUTRAGEOUS OUTRAGE
Euicott City Times.


The Maryland House of Correction-instead of
being prison for malefactors who have COM
mitted crimes against the people of the State
has become a house OF detention for holding
persons, at State expense, who have committed
the henious crime of walking along the sides of
railroad tracks while looking for employment.
This is all wrong. It is certainly more of crime
to deprive person of his liberty, to brand him
as felon and to prevent his making an honest
living than it is to use path to walk on, path
already constructed as smooth roadway, even
If said path happens to be on the lands of pub
lie corporation. The occupancy of the path does
no harm, unless it leads to overt acts, and then
punishment should only follow as the law intends
for a specific overt act clearly proven.
In the Maryland House of Correction there are
now about 800 persons confined, at a heavy cost
to the taxpayers of the State. Of those confined
fully 200 are classed as railroaders, those who
have been arrested, convicted and sentenced
for having walked on railroad property. but who
have not committed any crime against the citi-
zens of the State. This is an outrageous outrage
and the people of Maryland should not fail to be
aroused against it. One day last week 80 prison
ers in the above class were received at the House
of Correction, the most of them arrested on the
main stem of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
between the Relay House and Mt. Airy. In the
gang from the Washington branch of same rail
road was a boy about Is years of age, son of a
well known resident of Baltimore county. The
young man, through stress of hard times, lost
his position as a clerk at Savannah, Ga. He was
furnished with transportation to Newport News.
Va. Being of an independent nature he deter
mined to foot it home. He passed safely through
Virginia. being Hospitality treated, but he had no
sooner reached his native soil at Bladensburg
when he was arrested. convicted and is now
wearing felon's brand in a prison cell in the
Maryland House of Correction-an outrageous
outrage. =.
The plan as worked is for the railroad to fur
nish the officers to make the arrcst; the arrested
persons are then turned over to local officers who
carry them before local magistrates and it fol-
lows in turn, the local officers are paid. the
magistrates are paid, the jaior is paid the turn
key is paid, the deputy sheriff is paid for convey
ing the prisoners to the prison, and the counties
in which the arrests are made foot the bills,
about $4,000 to the man on the average-an out
rageous outrage. Will the good people of Mary
land stand for such an outrage? We believe
not, because Mdeaval miscarriage of justice was
temperate as compared with what the intelligent
people of Maryland are now allowing within its

Slaves to Imaginary Necessities.

Were it not for the thousands of people who
are slaves to imaginary necessities, we might
have avoided the panic of last October. 1t was
these people indirectly who brought it on. 1t
was these people who suffered most when 1t
came. The laws of nature are iron in their
retribution. The man who is earning $50 week
and spending SIS does not fear panics. Neither
does the man who is earning $4,000 year and
spending $4,000. Sailors who do not know how
to reef their sails would be at the mercy Of
squalls. People who do not know how to cut
down their expenses are at the mercy of panics

Ants as weather Prophets.

Chicago Tribune.
Ants as weather prophets afford new testimony
to the cleverness of these small animals. When
you go out on spring morning and find the ants
busily engaged in clearing out their nests and
dragging the sand and bits of earth to the surface
you may be sure that no matter how cloudy it is,
there will be no rain that day, and the probabil-
ties are for several days of good weather. II,
however, you see the ants about the middle of a
spring or summer afternoon hurrying back to
the nest and a sentinel trottine out in every
direction looking up stragglers and urging them
to go home as soon as they can get there, you
may figure on rain that afternoon or night.
When the last of the wanderers is found the
picket hurries in and the nest is securely sealed
from the inside to keep out the water. 1t is
seldom that ants are taken by surprise by the
aunrnach of a shower
