Usually the holdup mans way OF

crack on the bean. But the other
night New York journeyman high
wayman adopted different method.
He held up preacher In Harlem
street and with the aid of repartee
and gun made him come across with
his roll. After the preacher had dug
down in his jeans and given his money
to the highwayman he rebuked the
man for adopting that way of earning
a living. Cant help it, brother said

NEVER LIE DOWN TO READ
Easy to See Why the Practice Is In.
Jurious-How Proper Breathing
Promotes Health.

Il never read without using book
woman. Il think it easier to adjust
a book to the sight by its use. A book
rest can be raised higher than the
level of the lap and the hands and
the wrists will not be wearied by the
strain of holding it higher than the
knees.
Il never read in bed. l am thankful
to those, older and wiser than l, who
taught me that to read while reclining
was to overfill the blood vessels of the
eye and so cause degree of conges
ton In the eye. If one is too tired to
sit straight am convinced she is too
tired to read. She should rest in
the silence and darkness of her room.
In the very way a girl carries her
body when walking or sitting she can
do good or harm to the prettiness OF
the neck and throat. The chest must
always be held high, and this instinct
lively raises the head more prettily.
The abdomen must be held in, and
since some intaking of the breath is
required for this last muscular effort,
the muscles of the throat and chest
are at once benefited.
Muscles, by the way, depend ire
mendously upon good breathing for
health and firmness, so If a girl never
did anything more violent than pick
Ing rose. If she simply gives the
windmills Of her lungs all the good air
they need, the blood will be fresh
ened and the muscles nourished al
most as well as II she played golf ev-
cry day. The value of outdoor sports,
however playful, is in their action up
ON the mind.

Turkish School Children.

Turkish children recite their les
sons all together in the old-fashioned
schools, and II you COLD hear them,
you would think that you had gone
into Wonderland with Alice, where
things wouldn't come straight The
little girls go to school in groups, and
with them Is always an old servant
who carries all their books on what
looks for all the world like small
clothes-tree. The boys 60 and come
In two long lines attended by their
teacher. They carry their own books
and wear long trousers and fezzes ex'
actly like their fathers. Some of the
tiny girls carry their own little tables
and drawing boards. In the gypsy vii
lage in Scutari the children learn their
lessons by songs in the street. They
stand In circle with a big girl In the
middle. and they get noisier and
noisier the more interested they
grow."-Lindamira Harbeson, In ST.
