Treatment of Some Children

WAYS TO CULTIVATE

Girls who wish 20 cultivate a graceful

sition often brings on a "dumpy' effect
a woman should sit in a chair until
the back prevents the figure from ad-
vancing another inch, as this precludes
putting the weight about three or four
inches from the tip OF the spine, a com

chained to wheelbarrow:
"Schedrin had been condemned to hard labor In

to escape from there had been sentenced to be
chained to heavy wheelbarrow. When the order
for his transfer from Siberia to st. Peters
burg conveyance could be found large enough
to contain him. the wheelbarrow and the convoy
of gendarmes Yet. as the wheelbarrow had be-
come part of the prisoner, the gendarmes were
afraid to leave it behind It was therefore de-
cded to place Schedrin with his convoy in cart
and the wheelbarrow behind in another. For sew.
eral months, day and night Schedrin and the gen.
darmes galloped through Siberia troika Ia

behind them upon which the wheelbarrow reposed
causing the deepest amazement among the peas

Upon the arrival of the prisoner in IS. Peter and
Paul he was once again chained to the barrow.
and only after he had been six weeks in the
Schluesselburg was he finally detached from it and
given freedom of movement within the narrow
confines of his cell.
"'When they unclaimed me- said Schedrin sub.
sequently, could not get enough movement
