FOREIGN LAUNDRY MARKS.

TN foreign countries some strange
methods are adopted for identifying
3 the contents of the washtub. In some
parts of France linen is defaced with
she whole name and address of the laun-
dry stamped upon it, and an additional
geometrical design to indicate the owner
of the property. In Bavaria every patron of
the washtub has a number stamped In
large characters on his linen. In Bulgaria
every laundry has large number Of
stamps engraved with designs, and in Rus
STA the laundries mark linen with threads
worked In arrow shapes. In some Rus
sian towns the police periodically issue
regulations for laundrieS In Odessa
books of marks are furnished annually to
the laundry proprietors, and these marks,
and no others, can be used to identify
linen.

Incorrect Sitting.

YYU OMEN who wish TO cultivate a
graceful figure should pay especial
" attention to their sitting postures.
They should hold their shoulders we'll
back. The easy way OF sitting on Il
chair often detracts fron the natural
trimness and smartness. A woman should
sit on a chair until the back pre-
vents the figure from advancing another
inch, as this preciudes putting the weight
about three or four inches from the tip
Of the spine, common habit among the
careless.
When the lower part of the spine has
been pushed back so that it makes the
proper point of balance, it must be kept
from bowling in the back on Il line with
the stomach. The chest must be raised,
as this helps to keep the line of the
spine as it should be. The girl or wo-
nan who sits at her work each day may
do considerable toward the keeping Of
her figure neat by trying at frequent In
tervals to make her elbows touch each
other behind her back. She will not sue
eeed at first, but the effort will raise the
chest and straighten the spine. =
