Yet how ninny of us realize that there la a right and a wrong way of Sitting down, climbing stairs and no ou? asks a Loudou Tit-Bits writer. Sitting dowu on a chair seems so easy that it is Impossible to do It the wrong way, but a specialist, lecturing recently, pointed out that the habit many people have of sitting on the edtfe of u chair is very Injurious. A certain nerve Is sat upon, ami the result Is sciatica, caused through the nerve being Injured. Walking up stairs Is another thing that nine out of every ten people do the wrong way. The usual method la to place the ball of the foot on the atairs and then take the whole weight of the body on the part of the foot, the heel never being placed on the ground until the top Is reuchcd. The right wny, however. Is to place the whole of the foot on each stair. If this Is done, there will not be so much fatigue when the top Is reached. The habit of bolting eggs and bacon, coffee and other things, and then running for a train or bus. Is fatal to the digestive system. The food Is not nmnprlv I body Is disorganized by the wild rush for the train. How ninny people drink a gallon of water a day? This is the amount that should be taVen If one wishes to retain good health. Many people go wrong In cleaning their teeth. The hahlt of merely washing the outside of the teeth Is wrong. The bark and top of the teeth need Just as-nmch attention. Decay sets in as easily at the hack and on the top . v of the teeth as anywhere else. Itemember also that the top of the teeth ^ Is the part that comes In actual contact with food. Standing does not appear to he s particularly difficult operation, hut notice people standing In a railway station. Notice the men, with t^elr hands burled in their pockets, hacks bent, and heads dropping forward; an. the women with their feet at extraordinary angles, ami so 011. The body, when one Is standing, should be balanced equally on the two feet, which should he turned out slightly. The whole body should be held upright, Including the head. Talking to a doctor, the writer asked him what effect doing such things In the wrong way would have on the life of an ordinary healthy person. He replied thnt It was difficult to generalize, but that doing something In the wrong wag dally might lessen life by fifteen years or more. Ho, Hum, How Sleepy We Are! A story of a drifting mine which came ashore on the Durham const some time ago, and gave rise to an amusing Incident, which might have easily resulted In a tragedy, is told by the- London Morning Post. "One Saturday afternoon the mine weeping division at the admiralty received a long-distance telephone call from the local Durham police, who stater. that a mine had been washed ashore, hut that before they or the coast guard could warn people off, a (miner?who hud lunched well?had clambered on top of it and gone to sleep. What were they to do? They were given strict injunctions not to attempt to arouse the man, because in waking up suddenly he might break one of the 'horns,' with disastrous results to himself and others. Two hours later the police, in a very relieved voice, reported that the man had awakened of his own accord and had slid off the mine into safety." Artificial Precious Stones. Geinstones owing their attractiveness to art are not now mere imitations, but the uctual stones are produced artificially, as in the case of rubies and sapphires. In other instances. natural minerals are improved artificially. An Important industry exists in the artificial coloring of the semi-precious agate, and giving new colors to other stones has been attempted. At the Iteno Station of the United States bureau of mines, radium has been used to obtain a more valuable tint. A colorless Colorado topaz has been given a pleasant yellow. and, while this has not proven permanent when ex posed to light, experiments nre being continued with the hope that light-proof shades may he eventually produced. More Than Their Share. The 25th of May was annual cleanup day In our village. Several of us women were busily engaged In clean ing an alley. Seeing a small ash pile topped with a few tin cans near a atone wall, we stopi?ed, and 1 remarked: "Well. I guess we'd better get busy cleaning up Mr. J "a rub- 1 blsh. Suppose he and his whole fain fly are off spending the day fishing while we stay at home and clean t:p hla hirt." A low. long-drawn whistle was heard from below the wall, and Mr. J suddenly appeared, rake over shoulder. His sole remark was: "M-e-o-w!"?Rxchnnge. Hides Vary In Quality.

In fact there is n distinct Hughes wave, ami remote indeed from tlie centers of power and of gossip Is the place In official or social Washington that has not feft the Influence of this wave. It is the story of two Hugheses?how ] one lias supplanted the other in the popular mind. The Hughes personality, as It stands { out today, took otliciaJ Washington completely hy surprise. The unfailing smile, the hearty handshake, frankly caused astonishment. A cold, calculating. austere, self-centered man had heen expected at the State department. Officials and minor employees there had looked for a chill in the air as he approached; a brusqueness of greeting as he entered; it sharp closing of the door with orders that Hot was to he tolerated near the official sanctum unless summoned to ap' And then came the revelation. A anile aud a cheery word of greeting for everybody and Mr. Hughes was on the Job.
