It Is said ttiat there Is a right and a
wrong way of doing everything.
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.

Washington Is Charles K. Hughes. secretary

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

"Yes. It'* Hughes, hII right," commented
one visitor; "but what I want
to know is, where's the faker who sahl

Tile gossip . spread to the senate.
The days went by and contact with
Mr. Hughes was frequent. Comment
of this kind then was heard:
First Senator?I met Mr. Hughe* today.
He wore the broadest smile 1
ever saw. We had a most delightful
chat.

The same experience is true of the
