HOW TO REST.
Most of TTs Ara Sadly In a Sim pie Accomplishment.
As many of you know from experi ence, tiie old fashioned chair liad a straight back. It was thought that this would in some measure counteract the tendency of men and women to become humpbacked. It did nut ur to them that this deformity was due to the exliaustion of physical eiier. and not to carelessness on the part of tin- individ- 1 ual. Round shoulders and hollow chests are due to the relaxation of the muscles of the back, and no amount of straightening up will remove the cause. When the muscles of the bbecome v.-":1!* from loss of energy, the muscles of the chest naturally pull the shoulders for- I ward. To restore the body to a perpm dicular position the muscles of the back must have their energy restored.
Lying flat down and stretched out at full length is the most restful po iivion the human body can take, because it requires no effort whatever to maintain this pose.
The Japanese understand this, and they make good use of their knowledge. Instead of having their house full of stiff backed chairs, they spread soft rugs, skins or cushions on the floor or low platforms, upon which they recline when resting, reading or whiling away the time. In this way they stop the waste of the energy necessary to keep one in a bolt upright position. Th§ blood circulates more freely, because there is no tension on the limbs. This reduces the labor of the heart to a minimum, The energy thus saved goes to restore tired or weakened organs or to the invigor at ion of the brain.
Were our women in the habit of taking more rest, and taking it properly, they would not be compelled to wear stays in order to keep them straight. Saving to wear these cori-tantly, the muscles of the chest and back do not develop normally and are therefore weakej than other muscles of the body. —Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
them. Even the mere ad^, arced of them think that women raid be admitted to the university with much more discrimination than is the case with men.
Candidates for admission have an awe inspiring amount of red tape to unroll before they have the right to apply for degrees. They are obliged to secure permission from the Prussian minister of education, subject to the individual wishes of the professors of the university, who have a perfect right to exclude the women if they so desire. The faculty reserves the right to refuse to "present, to tho minister of education any particular request for a degree. It is understood that the candidate must have fulfilled the usual requirements before being granted the degree. She must have studied three years at a German university, or a university adjudged by the faculty to be of' equal standard, the last year at least to be spent in Gottingen. She must present an original dissertation which possesses in the judgment of the faculty scientific value and have this afterward printed. She must pass an oral examination in the subject with which her thesis deals and in two related subjects.—Berlin Letter.
We must rid ourselves of the notion the hall, making his way like a cat that it is a sign of laziness to lie down up the stair, fervently hoping that no or lounge about on the floor or cot or bed also that it is not proper for women to lie down when tired.
THE MAIDEN AND THE BIKE.
Y_ Lovely maiden. Pretty wheel, 'Nough to make one's senses reel .1 Swiftly gliding
Through the park,
Where the lads and lasses spark. Mali approaching— 'Nother wheel— Maiden fear begins to feel
Tried to dodge him, All in vain,
Bushes on as if insane. Then together Wheel and wheel Crash with shock that wrenches eteelt
Man takes header, Maid a flop,
Both together take a drop. "Beg your pardon," Says the man With what heart and grace ho can. "Clumsy creature,"
Shrieks the maid
With a look like lemonade. Then uprising Full of ire, And her glances flashing fire,
Wrathful maiden, Deadly wheel,
Forth to other conquests steal. —Frank B. Welch in Detroit Free Press.
A CAPTURE.
Billy Sims was enjoying that period of rest and peace which comes to a man when his wife and family go to the seaside and leave him in possession of the house. Then a person can stay out as late as he likes. He may smoke in any room in the house. He may even go to bed with his boots on if it so pleases him.
Billy had expected to stay at the sea a for a couple oi weeks, bus a telegram had recalled him to town after being a day or two away, and he came joyfully back, for the sea bored him, and there was nothing lively going on at the resort his family had chosen. Before he left town Bi 1-y lind told the police of his suburb that, the house would be closed for a fortnight, and he asked them to keep an eye on the premises,
Billy's faith in the force was somewhat shaken when he unexpectedly returned, found he had left his latchkey at Marineville and was thus compelled to I climb in at a window after midnight, yet no notice was taken of him. He got out in the same way nest morning and telegraphed for his keys. He roamed all over the house with a lighted candle at various periods of the night, but the guardians of the peace never disturbed him, and Billy made up his mind that the next time he went away he would take out a burglar insurance and not I trouble the guardians who guarded so carelessly.
On Saturday afternoon Billy, having I a day off, took a day on, as it were, and went for a long spin through the counI try on his bicycle. He had dinnor at a wayside inn and got home late and tired,
Putting his machine in its shed, he entered the house, poured out for himself a glass of cooling stimulants, and rested his weary body in his most comfortablo armchair, sipping the gratifying mixture J'.i {iocoivut)ji.-e with the (Lu on the bottle.
The house v.-as very quiet, and Billy dropped off to sleep. lie woke up suddenly and found everything still very quiet and very dark as well, veL he
above his head gave a slight rattle, as it was in the habit of doing when some one was walking in the room overhead. Billy did not believe in ghosts, for he was a newspaper man and could hard3y be said to believe in anything. Again the chandelier jingled, yet there was no noise of a footstep overhead, and it dawned upon Billy's scarcely awakened faculties that whoever was above him was going around in his stocking feet, trying to be as silent as possible. Billy regretted that he did not own such a thing as a revolver, for he felt convinced that at last burglars were in the house. He vaguely saw himself writing an account of the incident, headed: "Desperate Encounter With a Burglar. Heroic Conduct of a Suburban Householder."
Fired by this thought, and in spite of the distinct creeping of his scalp which we exaggerate into terming the sensation of the hair standing on end, Billy grasped the poker that lay on the fender by his chair and cautiously crept out
step would creak At the landing above Billy peered into the bedroom from which tho light issued and was appalled to see, not one burglar, but three. This exceeded Billy's most ardent expectations. He had been prepared for a desperate encounter with one, especially if he could have crept in on him and landed on his head with the poker before the burglar was aware that there was anybody else in the house, but a fight with three was too much of a good tiling.
One of them would bo certain to have a pistol, which would make things eveu more interesting. Glad as he would be to have an exclusive item for his paper, he had no desire to have some one else write it up and head it, "Dastardly Murder of a Reporter In Lonelyville." There are some sacrifices that a man does not care to make, even for his paper. Moderation in all things was Billy's motto.
The burglars had evidently come to the conclusion that there was no one in the house, for no guard was set They moved about quietly, but that merely came from long practice in an arduous profession where there was much night work and little thanks from a callous public. Billy did not pause to think that these men had no Saturday night off, and that they .were most industrious while other people were sound asleep. We generally-think that our.own particular occupation has the most drawbacks, giving little heed to the discomforts of others.
One man was holding a bag open and the other two were creeping ^»out filling the receptacle with various articles prized by connoisseurs and collectors. "I think we've got as much as we can
carry," whispered the man who was holding the bag. ,• This remark caused Billy to reflect that if he was going to do anything in the matter it was time to set about it. So he emulated the conduct of the celebrated Duke of York, who marched men up the hill and straightway marched them down again. Billy crept down the stair with the unused poker still in his fist. He realized that if he went to the police station, which was some distance away, the burglars would be gone before help came.
Then the brilliant idea occurred to him that he might follow the thieves silently on his bicycle, mark their lair, come with an ample police force at his back and capture the whole outfit, thus earning the eternal gratitude of the entire neighborhood. Then the item would be headed, "Clever Capture of a Band of Burglars—The Silent Cycle Follows Them to Their Rendezvous.
Billy got his maehinoi.'put from its ehed, noiselessly unlocked the back gate, closed it again as silently as he had opened it and waited in the shadow of a tree across the way. In a very few moments the burglars came out, each carrying a bag. They peered up and down the deserted street, and then slipped out, walking rapidly away together. Billy had no difficulty in following them. His only trouble was the street lamps, which he avoided as well as he could by keeping on the opposite side of the road from them. He hoped he would meet a policeman, so that he might give the alarm. and his wish was gratified. The officer stepped unexpectedly out from a tres, and ho grasped Billy by the arm. "Why are yon cycling out at this time of night without your lamp lit?" "My lamp lit, you fool!" gasped Billy, taken by surprise, and therefore not having time to choose his language with the care a man should use when I adrire&isg so important a personage as a policeman. "How the could
I
chase burglars with a lit lamp?" "That's nil very fine," said tho officer. "I've heard that kind of a story before. A man doesn't get up and dress himself in a full bicycling suit to chase burglars at 2 in the morning. "But
I
slept in "my bicycling suit,
you ass I" protested Billy, feeling, as he said it, that itlkmnded rather thin and unbelievable in the keen morning air. "I'll report the language you are using to the magistrate." paid tho policeman calmly, knowing the whole machinerv of the law wa.. with J:im. "My !v u.-o ha* rried Billy. "Th? you with their sw pose you ever saw of good you idiots the rascals slip, but who is

He should not use such language, the magistrate said, and when Billy asked what else he could have used, seeing that he had no club with him, the magistrate remarked that he would fine him for contempt of court if ho cried hi flippancy on the bench.

As tho police have not yet succeeded in capturing the thieves, although they afire always coming 011 a new and grafcifying clew, Billy thinks this is a har world.—-Luko Sharp in Detroit Ere
Foraging In TncThi,
All the captured ca'tle we re penned into tho houses, and filled them all, so tho troops and officers had to pass the night in the open with no bedding and no food. It was bitterly cold, and beyond green wood, which would not burn, no fuel was obtainable. It wan amusing to see the officers trying to cook some mutton for themselves, as one of the shi'op was killed for dinner, but what with the green wood, its smoke, no cooking pots, etc., qjid the impossibility of obtaining any hot water, the meat dinner had to be given up. Some one said pea soup would be excellent. So, procuring a small brass pot, ho proceeded to soak some of the mules' gram, but this also was left, as not evon a fusebox could be utilized with success to make soup in.
Milk from the Waziri cow was the next suggestion, so three specially selected officers were deputed to try to tame a cow. After many trials and heroic efforts, and many butts and kicks, a cow was caught and tied but, alas, she was dry. Goats were the same. Finally hunger conquered, and pieces of mutton stuck on to a stick and roasted over the smoking fire had to bo accepted as the evening meal. The cold at night was very trying, and sleep was denied to all, for one's, feet grew so cold that ©very hour a sharp walk: was imperative to keep one's circulation up. Added to these, there were a rowdy camel and a vicious horse careering about most of the night, and last, but not leasts an army of yats, who would insist on running over oue's face and body.—Blacktvood's Magazine.
