If on U le1roua of pnsiipsglnff a graiH'fnl figure the shoulder blades should rewire no end of Attention. Cm-root wlioulJer blades are us flat as the tradirtoual flounder. If tliey pro trude in the lenst decree a series of exereWs should h Inaugurated, and ten minutes devoted to athletics night nnd morning, when one Is free from heavy clothing, will do wonders In tho way of Improving them. Before togln. tilng the exereisrs one must stand properly that Is, squarely ou both feet ona during the time breathe deep and run. If one stands before on open window, so much tho better. For shoulder blade mornmont num ber one, hold the right arm straight up and the left arm at a right angle to the body, and then, stnndlnz on the tips of the toes, stretch the nrms to their greatest length, turning the hnnds constantly backward and forward. Movoment No. 2. Lie flat on the floor, rolsu the arms on n line with the shoulders and rotate them as rapidly us possible. No. 3 ltalse both nrtns above the head In a perpendicular line and stretch them slowly, ultnlng to reach nn Impossible point. Care must be taken not to push the head forward No. 4 Hend the b'-rty forwnrd until It attains an angle of IK) degrees, keep Inn the chest and shoulder blndes In straight position. Repeat this bending back and forth many times, bringing the body each time back again to the perpendicular. No. o I-iie down ou tao chest, keep the feet on the floor nnd raise the head and shoulders up as far as w Filile, repeating many times. Indeed, nil these exercises to be of any value must be repeated, but not to the length of fatigue. No. tl Stand erect, with arms hang ing down nnd the palms against the body, with the muscles of the arm and hand as tense as possible, ami then turn the arms outward, making a strong pull with the shoulder blade muscles; then relax. slowly and bring the arms hack to the original position. There Is no better movement than this for strengthening the muscles In the neighborhood of the shoulder blades No. sit erect, raise the arms, keeping the muscles well stretched. and circle up and down; to make tho movement of more force nnd still fur ther employ the shoulder blade uius clcs, practice with the paluis up. l'orimps time may ran one to go through with the entire seveu move. nieins twice daily, as each, to te of any benefit, requires many repetitions. It may be best, then, to take four exer cises in the morning nnd the remaining three at night. Furthermore, she who has the Interest of her shoulder blades at heart always keeps the following rules tacked away In her brain for Im mediate reference: 1 Trv to push the shoulder blades together many times during the day U Make It a rule to keep the back or the neck close to the back of the collar, Iloll the shoulder backward and downward. 4 Walk or stand with tho hnnds clasped behind the head nnd the el bows wide apart. r Stand erect at short Intervals dur ing the day, hend up. chin In, chest out and shoulders back. 0 St nnd now nnd again during the day with all the posterior parts of the body, so far as possible, touching a vertical wall. 7 l'ut the hands on the hips with the elbows buck und the lingers for ward. A Hentimseiiniinn Student. At Warsaw a student has Just been iri'iuluuted at the ripe aire of 73. After passing his matriculation many years at;o, lack of funds prevented uitn from at unco proceeding to the university, and he was compelled to work as a tutor for twenty years In order to save I'lrouirh money to enable him to con' tlnue his studies. At the enu or mat tlmo he nresented himself at the War saw Medical Academy and passed the entrance examination with distinction. Before he could begin his studies the Polish rebellion broke out, and Boryslk who was uow 41 years of age, threw himself Into the movement with all the enthusiasm of a youthful revolutionist The revolt was suppressed, ana nory aik urno ox led to Siberia, wuere tor thirtv-twn years he underwent hara lhor in the silver mines. In 1815 b received a free pardon and returned to Warsaw. In spite or bis age ana me hnrdshlna he had endured, uorysm lost none of his enthusiasm for medical work, and took up his studies wuere bo lm.l left off In 1813.

(Communicated ) The wail in a contributed article in last week's Columbian is rather a tame affair on the subiect of the change ol rules when a boss or clique can no longer manipulate a conven tion of questionable delegates. Even the attempt of the minority to manip ulate and control the majority of the last Democratic convention is rather cheeky and defiant to say the least. There was a great deal of harping that no changes could be effected without a two-thirds vote of the convention of delegates. But mark the point Changes and new rules could be made by the provisions ot the "old rutos" by a two-thirds vote of a convention of de'egates without an expression of the will of the people at the polls. But the people instructed for the new rules by an overwhelming majority of 3 to 1 W ill any sane person contend that the people, by large majorities, have no rights to then expressed will in a con vention of delegates who may repre sent, or misrepresent, their expressed will at the polls ? It will be a sorry day when the people, by majorities, cannot have what they vote for. It will be a sorry day when a boss or clique can intercept and manipulate the expressed will of the people at the threshold of a convention, and reap the fruits of their own victory. No, gentlemen of the minority, the new rules were adopted by a very large majoritv. It is positively known that many Democrats would not have at tended the primary election if it had not been for the purpose of adopting the new rules. People who cannot become recon ciled to the new conditions will be obliged to seek other quarters. When the people join issue they are hard to down. Lippincott's Magazine for September, 1897, The complete novel in the Septem ber issue of Lippincott's is "Weeping Ferry," by Margaret L. Woods. It is a sincere, simple, and effective tale of English country life, recording the honorable but passing love of a squire's son for an ex-servant's daughter, and the sad result thereof. Mrs. Wood (who is better known at home than in America) wields a firm, graceful, and entirely competent pen : every line of her work is true to nature. "A Fiddle in the Desert," by Charles M. Skinner, deals with an episode of travel in the wild West, H. H. Bennett stations a sentry "At Bridge Twenty-Two," to guard it from being blown up by strikers, and finds occasion thereanent for some fine descriptive writing. "Emmy's Going Home, as narrated by Frank Crane, is effected by maternal affection and the unpretentious philanthropy of a millionaire. "The Trend of Horticulture," by George Ethelbert Walsh, furnishes some highly interesting information as lo what has been done, and what is yet to be done, in the way of improv ing fruits and flowers. By and by we :hall have thornless roses and rasp berries, and seedless grapes and apples. William Trowbridge Lamed descants at some length upon tne "Rocky Mountain Prophets," ie., the Mor mons. "The Chicago Drainage Chan nel" is described by John L. Wright. Theodore Stanton, who has made special advance studies of the Paris Exposition of iaoo, sets forth the part to be taken in it by various nations of Europe. Some of the peculiar economics ot "European Housekeeping, as they appear to an American, are amusing ly depicted by Frances Courtenay Baylor. Arthur Howard Noll writes on "Musical Mexico," and Erin Gra ham on "Books that Girls have Loved." The only poem ot the number is by Mary McNeil Scott.
