Just Beino Human,

Whatever else may be ashamed of,
let me not be ashamed of being hu-
man. I may well blush for my little
store Of knowledge, for it might have
been greater, and for my imperfect
wisdom, which might have been sound
er; for my sins, that might have been
fewer, and for my righteousness.
which is paltry enough. For excuses,
lacks and want Of balance may be
Justly blamed, but for any genuine hui
man feeling have no right to hang
my head. So l dare say frankly that
l love to eat and to drink, love wo-
man and the child, love my slippered
ease and chat with good company,
I love adventure and the shining sail
I love rousing book, clever play
and fair fight. And whatever pride
or Joy Is built upon the contempt Of
others, I hate. The best part Of the
heritage the twentieth century brings
me is the privilege of being wholly
human and not ashamed Of it.-Dr
Frank Crane in Woman's World.

Go;nu Upstairs Backward.

Walking upstairs backward is urged
by 4 London physician as a useful
practice in cases Of heart weakness
and as helping in more equal disti-
button Of muscular wear and tear.
"Firstly and most important" he
says, walking upstairs backward
would prevent any tendency to hurry.
No matter how inveterate stair rush
man might be, he would have to
moderate his pace If going backward.
This enforced elaboration would, Of
course. be of great value in heart dis
ease. The second effect would be to
relieve the strain from the ordinary
walking and climbing muscles Chose
on the front Of the thigh and to press
into service those on the back Of the
leg, which ordinarily do no work in
climbing stairs. The total result,
therefore. might be saving in muscu-
lar wear and tear through more eco.
nomical distribution of effort This, OF
course, would also be Of value in cases
Of heart weakness. London Mail.

Romance Of a oainsborouoh.

A great dealer, now dead, once told
me that sauntering into an auction

in hat, ascribed to Gainsborough.

pierce through superposed paint. and,
looking deep down intS that picture, he
felt certain that the hat was an addt-

the portrait for sens. to find that
his dream had come true 1t was a
true Gainsborough. and the likeness of
a beautiful girl. What had probably
happened brings drama before us.

herited an clipping daughter. had pall-

it to country dauber for transforma-
