Women Must stand Well.

Good carriage not only means good
looks, but good health. The Importance
of standing. sitting and walking cor
rectly can not be Overestimated and is
entirely one OF personal responsibility.
Children should be trained into prop
er postures, but If early training has
been neglected. then it behooves the
slouchy and stoop-shouldered to get
busy.
1t Is not as hard as one would think
to have a graceful carriage, though 10
read many of the requirements Of the
beauty doctors fully-equlpped gym
nasium and unlimited time would seem
requisite \ few simple rules faith
fully followed will quickly improve the
most awkward bearing.
To stand we'll remember to keep the
chest high. knees straight, abdomen In,
and hips back, and the feet inclined at
an angle of about 90 degrees. With
chest, knees and hips In their proper
places, the feet will generally look after
themselves.
To walk we'll and easily maintain the
same position of chest. abdomen and
knees, and let the swing come from the
hips.

Remedy for Unemployment.

John Martin, in the current number of
the Survey, reviews the minority report
of the British, Royal Commission on the
condition of the poor. They find that the
whole problem of able-bodied restitution
should be treated Systematically by the
national government and that experiment
tai relief work. colonies, and aided emil
grafton have shown chiefly 'how not to
do it." 1.-THE provision of work at wages
by local authorities only tends to inten-
sify the evil, as it encourages employers
and employees to acquiesce in intermit-
tent employment. Irregularity of en-
ployment was found to be the most Ger
tain and extensive cause of pauperism.
even in those callings where high wages
and short hours are the conditions, such
as wharf laborers. The proposed method
of dealing with these conditions of under
employment and discontinuous employ
ment is national system of labor bu-
reaus. 1t is believed these will dovetail
one job with another and one trade with
another so as TO give continuous employ
ment to the most efficient. To provide for
the surplus it is proposed to limit the
employment of boys in occupations which
afford them no industrial training. Both
boys and girls should be compelled to take
thirty hours week of special training.
Shortening the hours of labor is another
remedy proposed. Growing the whole
system there must be a detention colony
where inmates are treated for a morbid
state of mind and BODY.

The Art of Being Happy.

'Cheerfulness," says Ruskin. rs as
natural to the heart OF man in strong
health as glow to his cheek, and wher-
ever there is habitual gloom there must
be either bad air, unwholesome food,
Improperly severe labor or erring hab-
its OF life" If children were taught
that one of the great life duties is to
unfold the fun-loving side Of their ma
ture, the humorous side, there would
not be so many suicides, so many I'M
happy. discordant, miserable people,
SO many failures in the world, says
Success. Why shouldn't we develop
the humor faculty, the fun-loying fac
ulty, just as much as the bread-earn-
ing or any other faculty? Why should
we think it is so very necessary to
spend years in going to schools and
colleges to develop other mental facul-
ties, and yet take practically no pains
whatever to develop the humorous, the
fun-loving side of our nature?

A DisggrecnbIe Habit.

The habit of Snubbing is q most dis
agreeable one. Those who are snubbed
are generally taken off their guard,
and given sudden blow when they are
careful and at ease in the security OF
social intercourse. and thus they are
placed at a great disadvantage. n
snub. says one, is a check, blank +;
it is a curtain suddenly drawn down /;
it is pulling up against a dead wall; it
is cold obstruction and recoil. We
have seen parents snub children. first
allowing them liberties. then stopping
them with harsh check in mid-career
of spirits and in the presence of
strangers. Perhaps we Rave given
way To enthusiasm and are met BY
ridicule. Or we have made conf
dence which we think tender, and ii is
received with Indifference. Or we tell
Il story, and are asked for the point of
it. Or we are given to understand
that we are mistaken where we have
assumed ourselves well informed. Or
our taste is coolly set ut naught; or
we talk. and are reminded we are
prosy; or we are brought face to face
with our ignorance in way to make
US feel it most keenly. The strength
of a snub lies in the sudden apprehen-
sion that we have committed ourselves,
and a consequent painful sense of in
significance, that there Is somebody
quite close TO us, regardless OF our
feelings, looking down on us, and os-
tentatiously unsympathizing. Beware
Of snubbing any one. 1t makes a most
painful and permanent impression. 1t
may be done in moment, and yet is
not likely to be forgotten for years,
If not for an entire lifetime.
How charming Is the disposition
which instead of repelling, invites the
confidence Of others. The person who
snubs may be unconscious Of the harm
he or she inflicts on others and how
oftentimes friends are lost by a habit
which jealousy only too often has Gre
ated A snub oftentimes causes heart
pang that never is forgotten.

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.
May Be Expected to Remain Perma-
nently in the East.

ntnI1J III NAC I@ob-
In 1900 the center of population was
In the State of Indiana; in 1870 the
center was twenty-three miles east of
Baltimore. Md, says Il writer in the
Geographical Journal. Its migration
las been slow and remarkably uniform
both in rate and direction. 1t has how
cred for 40 years along the Both par
allel of latitude. and its total variation
In latitude has been less than one
third OF Il degree.
The westward movement has aver
aged less than degree in a decade.
Notwithstanding the incredibly swift
occupation of n vacant continent by a
movement of population westward. The
aasterly position of the center of pop
ulation is in part due to the fact that
the eastern part of the continent was
first settled and was settled from the
east. The easterly position of the cen
.er of population is also due to the
more evenly distributed and more
abundant resources of the eastern half
of the United States.
1t should not be forgotten that the
geographical center of the United
States lies some hundreds of miles
west of the Mississippi river. The east
arn half of the country. therefore. en-
braces the Atlantic lowlands. the prai-
ries and Great Lakes plains. the Gulf
lowlands and the forests and minerals
Of the Appalachian mountains and Ap-
palachian plateaus. Over against these
are the arid and mountainous areas of
the west.
Certain areas will be reclaimed to in
credible productiveness and the mineral
wealth is vast, but the center of popu
laticn may be expected to remain per
manently eastward of the geographical
center of the land.

Beauty Tip.

The carriage OF the body Is even
more important than the lines Of the
figure itself. 4 beautiful figure poor
ly carried shows none of its beauty,
while a poor figure well carried with
grace and dignity gives distinction
which is in itself beautiful. To ac-
ouire a good carriage it is necessary
to study the required pose carefully
I'm the mirror. then remember TO take
that pose whenever rising from q
chair. and to hold it steadfastly. 1t re-
uuires a constant watchfulness which
makes one self-conscious at first, but
