The ungraceful way many womin

Is Impossible,
To arold ruining the figure era?
woman should regard her spina as so
upright post, the shoulders being a
cross piece. And this structure sh
must guard so It will not bent!, an t
as sorm as a bend Is permitted the
balance Is destroyed.
Hitting In a chair seems a simple
matter, yet rarely la It done properly.
I do not now mean crossed feet and
other ungraceful positions, but the
fact that the spine Is usually be it.
T.et the woman who la reading this
see, at the moment. If she cannot push
further back into the seat not with
her shoulders, but so the end of, her
spine Is nearer the chair back. If
she can accomplish this she will And
herself inroluntarily sitting etralght
er, because a kink has been remored
from her vertebrae.
In my opinion no one position does
more to make or present a good fig
ure than to practice correct sitting
for at least five minutes three times
a day.. For this I would use a chair
with a straight back and get on to it,
leaning forward a little and pushing
bsck until the spine, about three
Inches from the tip, feels the chair
back. Then, with the shoulders
thrown back, a position Is attained
which Is best tor all proportions and
will soon be held unconsciously. When
this la accomplished the danger of
protruding abdomen and large hips la
greatly lessened.
Besides this straight spine move
ment chest expansion should be cul
tivated. This la difficult for an older
woman, yet worth any effort. One
such exercise Is to try repeatedly to
make the elbows touch each other
behind the back.
The longer one tries and the more
strength put Into the muscular exer
tion the better will the figure be
come. Incidentally, one must take
care to stand straight while exercla
Ing In thla way, or she will simply In
crease any "stooped shoulders."
Another good and by no means diffi
cult movement is to straighten the
arms out at the. sides and, without
sending the elbows, put them, back
aj far aa they eaa be made to go.
Deep breathing has much to te with
having a good figure. It the chest la
fiat and contracted, aa mustvbe If the
lungs are not filled, a woman cannot
make a good appearance.
It la astonishing that, with wearing
very tight ataya, the dlaphram may be
expanded when the lunga are filled to
the lowest depth. That la. In apite of
lacing, there la atlll room for the
lungs to be inflated. To breathe deep
ly does not mean a large waist line,
and auch practice may reduce the hip
measure. The lower lunga cannot be
Inflated unless, one la standing cor
rectly. I think that each night before go
ing to bed woman should try to
touch the floor with her finger tips
without bending the knees. If eh
can accomplish this the exercise will
keep her supple and If aha cannot do
It aha certainly needs practice. For
this movement the hands are held
high above the head and brought down
with a sweeping motion while the
knees are kept stiff. Should they
bend there la no benefit to be derived.
By their remaining rigid pull la made
from the waist and hips and long and
constant practice will reduce the
measurement there. The work must
never be done while wearing tight
bands. Margaret Mlxter.
To Prevent Wrinkles.
A French beauty of mature ag
claims that wrinkles can be prevented
for many yeare by washing- with
barley water night and morning. It la
made aa followa: Boll three ounces
of pearl barley In a pint of water, un
til the gluten la extracted; strain and
add 25 drops of tincture of benroln. If
wrlnkloa have already appeared and
are not too deep this, pomade, applied
every other night, will improve them:
Hebe Pomade. Juice of lily bulbs.
(0 grama: Honey. 19 grama; White
wax. 30 grams; Rose water, II grama
Melt the wax and honey together;
add the Illy Juice to the rose water,
and stir slowly Into the honey and
wax.
Note that the above calls for grama
ai not grains.
Alcohol Distillation.
The government distillery for maV
leg denatured alcohol from corn an
potatoes and the explanation of- It
uae la very Interesting. Dr. Bawye
of the United States department r
agriculture says that the magaziu
and newspaper articles concerning de
natured alcohol have all, so far aa h.
can recall, given misleading lmprea
sion. He saya there is no queatlor
that the use of denatured alcohol ii
going to be of great service, but that
so far the department haa been un
able to build machinery simple enoug'n
and cheap enough tor the ordinar)
farmer to use. Thia problem. Dr. Baw
yer aaya, la recelrlug a great deal of
attention.
English Women 8moke Cigarettes.
A dealer In cigarettes Is London
says that the practice of cigarette
smoking la Increasing rapidly among
women In the higher circles. Hla
firm haa sold 100 per cent more of
cigarettes to women thia year than It
did last Among recent purchasers
on a large ecale was the queen of
Spain, who bought however, for the
purpose of making gifts to her friends.
She has ordered a number of red
morocco cases, with the 8panlsh arms
on the tip in gold, each to contain II

Kisaing the Book.
In England and all the English
speaking countries the kissing of the
book before the oath comes from the
practice of touching a "halidame," or
sacred object as the old Roman touch
ed the altar or Harold the casket of
relics. The form, "So help me Ood."
is inherited from ancient Teutonic-
Scandinavian law, under which the
old Northmen, touching the blood
daubed ring on the altar, swore. "So
help me Frey, and Niordh, and the Al
mighty God" (that Is, Thor). The
first and last of these are the two old
English gods, whose names we keep
up In Friday and Thursday.

The height of the atmosphere above
the earth haa never been ascertained,
because no one haa ever been able to
get far enough out to determine where
It ends. But It certainly spreads far
more than 'fifty miles from the solid
surface of the earth and from the
liquid surface of the sea. The quan
tity, therefore, that resta upon an
acre of ground presses down upon that

22.000 tons. Fifteen pounds of It are

Scientific Training.
Scientific education in the schools
and colleges of this country may be
said to date from the year 1862. The
bill for scientific and technical studies
waa put through Congreaa In that
rear by the Honorable Justin B. Mor
HI. of Vermont and received the
President's signature at once. The
bill received its main Inspiration at
the International Exhibition at Lon
don, In 1861, and waa proposed aa
jerly aa 1867.- but owing to the high
party spirit engendered by. the slavery
discussion waa delayed till the date

Weighing Touch.
A wonderlul instrument has recent
ly been invented for the purpose of
measuripg-the sense of (ouch. Tiie
device consists of a series of little
disks, suspended by fine, delicate
threads from wooden handles, the
being stuck into holes around a bio.k.
The lightest' disk is taken nut and
brought into contact with the sklu o'

his eyes. If nothing is felt a heavier
disk is employed, and so on till (he
pressure becomes noticeable.

about as much as any man ran admire

that she was devoting more and more

For an instant - the shock- to tht

then, quickly recovering site said:
'In that case I am prouder than

but I designed the clothes myself."
And: then the man shut up.
Ambergris and Amber.
There la some popular confusion of
ambergris with amber; In fact how
ever, there is no relation between
them. But for a long time the nature
of ambergris was hidden in mystery.
In ancient days It waa commonly be
lieved that it flowed up from the bot
tom of the sea."- Slnbad the Sailor
tells of a spring of ambergris- that he
found; but it was In a crude state.
The fish swallowed it and then dis
gorged It in pongealed form, and In
this condition It floated on the sur
face' of the sea. This story harmon
ises perfectly with the old Arabian be
