LeuS and Health.

According to experts, the general
health as well as ones state Of mind
are infuenced largely by the way we
use our legs. Persons with irritable
tendencies invariably acquire the hab-
it of crossing the legs. For them to
keep the legs parallel is to invite
feeling of uneaSness. Brain-wOrkers,
TOO, find it easy to fall into the habit
of crossing their legs, When over
whelmed with work, this is the favor
tie attitude Engross them with i'm
portant problems requiring initiative,
and the legs unfold. This is because
the best train of thought happens
when the legs are thrust straight out.
Sitting with the legs crossed is also a
frequent cause of obesity. If you wish
to remain slim and possess good fig
ure. don't cross the legs. Instead opy
your cat. and stretch all you can.

A terrible incident was the origin

of Danes ravaged the neighboring coun-

dered her to worship their gods. She
refused, and in spite of their efforts
to terrify her into submission, he
brave woman remained faitl.:ar to her
creed. In a fury, the leader Of The
band ordered her to lay her head down
to be cut off. Obeying, her head
was Immediately severed from her
body. On one night every year the
abbess revisits the scene of her mar
tyrdom, carrying her head in her
hands.

Suddenly the singer stopped. Some

WhiStling began again. Each time the

A DeVout Man,

A devout man does his duty better
rnan another because he sees his pO-
sition more completely; gazes over
the wide field of his relations visible
and invisible; exaggerates nothing
from it's proximity, and overloOks
nothing from it's distance; but, with
the clear sense of moral proportion,
receives from all the true impression,
and gives to all the fit affection. He
does not render his mental view false
by ignoring the whole region that lies
beyond experience, and treating it as
if it had no existence; or fever his
passions and fret away his peace by
imprisoning the whole energies OF his
nature within some narrow object
a section only of the life which they
are qualified to fill. 1t is because his
mind is right that his hand does
right.-James Martineau.

his flashing scOrn for hypocrisy and his
fearless love of justice made him a
natural champion of the oppressed.
"AItOn Locke and "Yeast" both ap-
peared the year after the revolution.
The first is an exposition of the sweat
ing system in which London low life
and working-class thought are pic
tured with extraordinary vividness and
understan aiding. "Yeast," written in
burning indignation at the condition
of the agricultural laborer i'm England,
has a "depth and passion and power,
a life, an intensity, the tenth part of
which would make the fortune of a
novel now"
Kingsley was a tireIess worker for
practical reform, but the great lesson
he tried to convey was that "the flu
ture welfare of society demands a new
Outburst of the latent forces of Chrfst's
religion" 1t was not amazing, there
fore, that he should have turned from
English settings and subjects, in which
he was so passiOnateIy interested, to Il
study of the fifth century. The empire
at that period ens1aving the
masses; universal Fermentation of
human thought was in process. The
Young Church and the Old World were
at grips in a death struggle. He wished
to prove in a novel of that epoch that
"Christianity is the only really demo-
cratic creed" SO he wrote the brilliant
and tragic "Hypatia.'
The richness of Kings1ey's PERSONAL

delicious spectacle which their project

T was Alexandria in the fifth cen
tury of our era. The city founded by
a king who dreamed not In empires,
but in continents, placed at the stra-
tegic point where it would command
three of those great units, had
achieved a pre-eminence in beauty, iI
vice, in learning, in turbulence, in the
COSMOPOLITAN character of its people
The three continents which Alexander
would unite into one had poured into
his city their best and their worst
and each strove desperately for su-
premacy. Many a man in those days
must have thought that
East is East and West is West.
And never the twain shall wed,
