'A Correct Po*o. The minute n woman stands lightly on her feet, with knees straight chest well out. stomach flat shoulders br.ck and the body from thc waist up tilting ever so slightly forward, she has ac quired at once a certain amount of ef fect that no amount of beauty or fine clothes could give. A woman simply can't stand cor rectly and look slovenly. I'rlncoAao.t anti Their Uro?. Some people Imagine that princesses are obliged to he exceedingly extrava gant in the matter of dress, but the truth Is in exact opposition to this iden. Princess Victoria of Wales to this?day spends as little as possible upon her wardrobe. In order to save money to give away to som*? of the institutions that have specially enlisted her sym . pathles or else to expend upou, the ne cessities of the proteges best known to her. Princess May was always said to positively grudge the money which her simple gowns cost when her mother superintended these purchases and now as Duchess of York being obliged to clothe herself suitably to her rank, she never allows her dressmakers to em ploy needless expensive'trimmings. Woman's Life. Do Not Wh!*per In the Sick Boom. Whatever is considered unsuitable for a sick person to hear should never be whispered in the room or Just out side the door. All conversation neces sary in the room should be held in a clear, low tone, thus leaving no fear In the patient's mind that the truth Is being withheld from her or that events are transpiring of which she la being kept in Ignorance. People who would never think of transgressing tho mles of politeness by whispering in tho presence of a third person will drive to despair one who Is sick by carrying ou a whispered con sultation where she can hear the dls ngreen hie buzz without bel?g able to distinguish a word. Sick persons are always far more sensitive than those who are well, ami for this reason, at least the ordinary niles of etiquette should be observed lu their presence. Farm Womon of Canada. Mr. G. C. Creelmnn, the Ontario Pro vincial director of Farmers' Institute, has begun to establish Women's Insti tutes in connection with the regular Farmers' Institutes throughour province. During the past seasons five lectures and have proved so accept Lecturers and have proved so accept able that communications have been re ceived from various quarters, asking that Women's Institutes be formed. Inspector Creelmnn has accordingly sent a circular letter to the Farmers' Institute secretaries throughout the the province, and has asked each to send in a list of six ladles in his neigh borhood who will asist In organizing and supporting the women's branches. The superintendent will aid in secur ing the services of a paid lady dele gate experienced in organizing work. The government by law .is already pledged to an annual grant of $10 to each district for Women's Institutes, and the Farmers' Institutes are em powered to do the same. At the Wo men's Institute meetings farmers' wives and daughters discuss branches of farm work In which they necessariy engage, more particularly in the dairy line. Next season additional women lecturers will be provided, to give prac tical lessons In cooking and butter-mak ing.-The Woman's Journal. Playtime Overalls. When boys get old enough to put on trousers, they are given blue overalls made of denim, which protect the clothes from wear and tear that is necessary to children's existence in a way that is perfectly marvellous. And lately It has been the fashion for girls to wear these same overalls. They look very cunning In them, and are cer tainly most comfortable. Mothers who object to having their little girls dressed like their brothers have long aprons, with a string at the top and bottom. This apron Is put on over the dress, turned up underneath and the string is tied round the waist making, as It were a bag. It protects the clothes almost as well as the overalls, but ls not quite as good. Bloomers of denim or Galatea with blouses to match are worn by both boys and girls, but when the girls wear the blouses, they have them made long enough to almost cover the bloomers, and that gives them a more feminine appear ance. There are many sensible mothers who object to dressing boys and girls alike, for the reason that It makes the ' girls grow tomboyish. This is scarce ly a sensible reason, and any such ten dency may easily be obviated by hav ing a supply of fancy frocks for af ternoon wear, trimmed with lace or embroidery and with pretty sashes and ribbons.-Harper's Bazar. New Ind noir? for Women. A new industry for women Is mas saging the scalp. A Brooklyn woman who started in business a short time ago has been so successful tbat she bas ?built up a clientele which keeps her busy. She has established a downtown office opposite one of the big depart ment stores in Brooklyn, and also still keeps the modest place upstairs over a shop, where she first started in busi ness. To the latter place some women eome hi the evening after she bas re turned from down town.. So that she flllB every moment of her ?time with customers. The first treatment costs from ?1 to $1.50, depending upon whir ls to be done to the bead. Usually i shampoo and singeing or clipping of the hair bas to be done.. After that comes a thorough massaging of the scalp with the use of a tonic prepared b> the masseuse. Subsequent treat ments cost 75 cents' each, and may be taken at intervals of two weeks until the growth of the hair ls thoroughly ' : under way. The new treatment works "wonders with tlie hair.

Bnt one or he operators confided to a customer the other day that it was not the tonic bnt the manipulation that "did the business." In som? shops electricity is being applied to the scalp with specially prepared tonics. The tonic is also to be used at home be tween the visits for treatment How ever, the patient ls not allowed to ap ply the tonic with the finger ends. It must be applied with a sponge. The operator explains that If the bair ls nibbed the wrong way lt tends to make lt fall. Ilence, the proper mas sage of the scalp ls an art to be learned. It offers a remunerative field of labor for women and it requires but little time to learn it-Xew York Com mercial Advertiser. Lessons in Self Control. It'Is a pity to see what terror nssalls some nervous children nt the approach of a thunderstorm. It is not ouly the vivid Hashes of lightning which throw them into a panic, but the long roll of the thunder and the frequent deafen ing crashes and peals which act dis astrously upon their youthful uerv% 1. Of course it ls well to teach them to be prudent and avoid getting into a draught during a thunderstorm but such prudence is often carried to ex cess aud the children endure torments of apprehension of sudden death from lightning stroke. Mothers who have dread of thunder storms should endeavor .to govern their apprehensions and show self-control be fore the children. Teach them the benefits of electricity in clearing up a sultry atmosphere, when the humidity has boen unendurably oppressive. There ?s a bright side even to a thun derstorm, and it is our duty to teach little folks lessous of cheerfulness. Young Americans have nerves not quite so strong as those of a few gen erations ago. Anything which'tenches a child courage, cheerfulness and self control should be cultivated In the nurs ery. Let us tench the children to un derstand the benefits of tho thunder storm In summer, and not dwell exclu sively on the idea of being "struck by lightning," which ls a general impres sion with the d?n!zens o? the nir sery.

A well-dressed lad, the son of wealthy parents, thought it would be quite manly to earn a few coppers for himself by selling newspapers. He stopped a tattered newsboy In the street and said to him: "Do you think I should be able to earn money as you do if I bought some papers and came to this corner to sell them?" "Why do you want to sell papers?" "I'm tired of being Idle." "Well," said the philosophic little newsboy, with a serious air. "d'yer think you can hold 20 papers In one band, lick three of four boys blgger'n yerself with the other hand, while yer keeps two more off with yer feet, and: yells 'War 'ditton!* all the time?" "No-o, I don't," replied the well-, dressed boy. "Then ye're no good In the news paper biz," replied the tattered phil osopher.

Tho business woman ls having her Innings at last The wise ones of the earth are beginning to say that the ox buslness woman makes the best wife In the world. She does not expect Impos sibilities of punctuality In her hus bund, neither does she send him on errands during business hours. Sho knows that business cares are of ne cessity apt to engross much of the at tention of thc successful man, even when he is absent from the office. Rho clops not talk to a man who ls reading the stock reports In the morn ing paper, and she brings all her trained mental faculties to bear on household problems. In consequence of the latter fact, she ls able to master detail In a shorter t!rae than ls re quired by the Inexperienced young wife, who, previous to her muriage, has had no more serious problems than engagements to engross her mind. The members of the opposition am prone to declare that the woman who has earned her own money Js moro careless In tile spending of that earned by her husband. This the friends of the business woman deny; they claim that she has learned to know the raino of money, and is better able to admin ister lt than the woman who has pre viously had It doled out to her In small sim's or had her bills paid for her.-Philadelphia North American. , What He Meant. , "I told him you were as honest as the day ls long."

A housekeeper who ls famous for her canned vegetables, which she pats up herself and which far excel' In flavor those sold In the grocery stores, gives the following directions: For cora, cut tho kernels from the cobs anc pack them in a glass jar that has been thor oughly cleansed and scalded. Tut on the rubber, lay the cover of the Jar on' loosely, without screwing it, and stand it in a kettle of cold water that comes two-thirds of the way to tht top. Cover the kettle and boll steadily for four hours. Remove from "the lolling water and screw the cover on at.once without removing it. Teas carnot be packed tightly without breaking them, and consequently, after all the peas possible, without breaking them have been put into a jar, cold water mould be added until it bubbles at the top.

Tbc Phenomenon Was a School of Herring? Chased by Monkey Fish. M. H. Shaw, of Boston, was telling the other evening at the Murray lilli Hotel of an experience he had some time ago nt York Harbor, Me. "The last time I was there," said Mr. Shaw, "was in the summer of 1834. In those days the railroad stopped short at Portsmouth, N. H.-twelve miles dis tant-and the balance of the journey you made by coach. It is one of the most attractive places I have ever visited. But I knew it in its stage coach days, and prejudice has kept me from returning since the railroad reached out and touched it. It was in .this summer that I witnessed one of the most remarkable sights It has ever been my luck to see. York Harbor .is a beautiful circular bay, into one end of which the river runs. Behind the bluff the river fcrms a small harbor, rfhd then it decreases rapidly in size as you proceed Inland. Two mile3 above the harbor it ls scarcely more than a creek. Ono evening after sup per I had taken a couple of young la dles for a row. Dusk foifnd us about a mlle from thc hotel on our way home. As I was rowing, my back was to the stream. Suddenly the girl steering cried out, 'Gracious me, what's that?' "Turning, I saw in thc gloaming what seemed a wall of phosphorescent water, some twp feet high. It was rushing toward us, and, thinking lt must be a tidal wave, or something of that kind, I grabbed for tho oars. There was no time to reach the shore, so I held the boat head on to the ad vancing wave, ct thc same time warn ing my companions to sit perfectly still. In a second lt struck us, and lt struck us hard. Tish in twos and threes began to jump Into the boat, and the frightened girls, screaming, jumped on the. thwarts. I implored them to alt down and keep perfectly still, for thc boat rocked fearfully and we were in imminent danger of up setting. The river wns covered with fish, from bank to bank, like a gigan tic sardine box, and if we had ever gone, over among thou, knowledge of swimming would not have been of -the slightest use. The girls finally quieted down, and we were able to watch thc spectacle without fear. It was the strangest of eights. Down the stream to the bay the river seemed a mass of living, leaping quicksilver. The head of the line was a hundred yards beyond us, a moving, living line of light. Fish by the score jumped In to the boat, and kept us busy pitch ing them out. I thrust my oar down Into the water, and you could feel their bodies leaping against its entire length. Finally, however, the stream cleared enough for me to row again, and we returned to our hotel. "The explanation of the phenome non was comparatively simple," Mr. Shaw went on. "Herring have a dead ly enemy called, I think, monkey fish. They hunt thom In schools and destroy the herring by hundreds. When the monkey fish get after them the herring run for lt, as their only means of es cape. A school of herring had been chased Into thc outer harbor. The monkey fish blocked their way back to the sea. Then the herring found the way Into the river, and the whole frightened school tore through and up the stream In their wild effort to es cape. They died there by thousands. The next morning the plot In front of the Marshall House was slivered with their bodies, and both shores of the river for miles presented a similar appearance. Farmers all over the country came there and took tho fish away by the cartload to use as fertil izers. But there were fish enough to have fertilized New England, und pres ently they began to decay. -The peo ple stood if for a day or two, but by that time they smelt to high heaven and every one that could fled as from the bubonic plague. I couldn't, and had to stay through. It was an awful experience. The water in the river ran like glue, and so impregnated the water of the outer bay that bathing for a while was out of the question. You ate, drank and slept fish. Fish were In the clear weather and the storm. Tho summer of 1S84 at York Harbor has since been known as the stale fish summer, l?o give you an Idea of how bad It was, a French poodle fell off a float on the river side, and be had to be sent out of the State. That's an actual fact, for he was sent to Portsmouth."-New York Tribune. Where Lace Abounds. Brussels owns countless attractive little shops with thc most tempting displays of lace In their windows, many of which are dovoted exclusive ly to Its sale. It ls a recognized fact that Belgium's capital ls the place to buy laces, and one firm alone employs twelve thousand women In lace mak ing, but the majority of the weavers of this priceless, cobwebby fabric are in Flemish and Belgian convents. No matter how poor and shabby a woman may be in Brussels, one may always count on seeing her decked out in a collarette or handkerchief of finely wrought lace. A Proposition. Grnphter-Hang It!

In accordance with King Victor's orders, the iron crown was taken from the chapel in the cathedral at Monza, where lt is kept,. and set on the coffin of his father. This precious old crown symbolizes the Italian royal power. For twelve centuries the Italian Kings were crowned with it. A tradition accepted by the Ro man Church tells that the rough iron circle forming the inside is one, of the nails used in the crucifixion of our Lord, which Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, found In the Holy Land. The outside of the crown Is of purest gold, set with twenty-four gems. It ls a precious example of Byzantine work. As, however, it belongs to the State, be cause of some ancient rights, the Cathedral of Monza is intrusted with Its keeping. The priests of the cathe dral who transferred lt were escorted by officers, and a solemn service took place before the masters of cere monies, in state dress, received it. As soon as It was set on. the coffin Queens Margaret and Helen and tue Princess es kissed it respectfully, a" lt is con sidered a IrHly relic. Tho crown will be taken to Home for the funeral, and will then bc returned to Monza, whence it has been removed only on three occasions, in 1S03, for Napoleon's coronation; in 1838, for the crowning of Ferdinand of Austria, who then transferred it to Vienna, and in 1878, for Victor Emmanuel's burial.-Lon don Telegraph's Rome Lotter.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hallows, of Peckham St., Globe Village, Fall Rlvur, Mass., have cause to thank Dr. Greene's Nervura for restoring to health, and probably preserving the life of their little son. Almost from infancy Everett Hallows was troubled with indigestion and nervous troubles, and nothing r cerned to help him. Finally Dr. Greene's Nervura was recommended and tried with success. A few bottles were sufficient to effect a cure, and to-day th.e .little one is enjoving the best of health. By the use of Dr. Greene's Ncryura the sickly child waa transformed into a happy, hearty, robust boy. Thousands of other children can thank Dr. Greene and his wonderful remedy for the strength and health they enjoy. Children to whom it is given have less sickness, better health, better growth, and longer and more vigorous lives. Parents should realize that lt is their duty to give it to every child who ii not in perfect health. There are no diseases more dreaded by; parents .than fita, epilepsy, and St. Vitus' dance. Yet no child would be troubled by them, if Dr. Greene's Nervura were given when the first symptoms appear. ? har Jes L.
