I FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE. S
Young -people -when growing ure
eomewhaft like the young trees—they
are apt to k'an and grow over to one
side. You cannot be propped up as the
gardener supports his young saplings.
To make you grow straight and strong
each set of muscles in the body should
have its due exercise so as to develop
both sides of the body equally.
Now, there are some very easy and
pleasant exercises which you can all do
by yourselves and which, when correct
ly practiced, are just the thing to make
you strong and well formed.
First try to balance yourself cm your
toes. Raise yourself quite geutly, bit
by bit, or you will lose your balance.
When you have got as high up on your
toes as you can manage, then gradually
lower the heels. Repeat this several
times, sometimes with your two feet
close together, sometimes only with the
heels together and the toes turned out
ward. When you can balance quite
well, get into the habit of taking a deep
breath as you raise the heels, holding it
as long as you can, and then let the
breath go as you lower the heels. Close
your lips when you breathe in and open
them just slightly when you breathe
out. Instead of always keeping the
hands straight down by your sides you
can do this exercise with your hands
placed firmly on your hips—the fingers
in front and thumbs to the back. If you
continue practicing this regularly every
• morning, it will increase the size of
your lungs and strengthen the muscles
of the calf of your leg.
Another good exercise is to swing
your arms out in front of you, taking
care to keep your elbows straight, and
then upward until they ore parallel by
the side of your head, then swing the
arms forward and downward till they
are by your sides again. This is called
a parallel arm swinging, because the
arms are parallel throughout.
Now combine this exercise with the
first one explained to you, raising the
heels as you swing up the arms and
lowering the heels while the arms are
brought down. Next take the same
starting position—body upright and
firm, heels together and hands straight
down by your sides—and quickly raise
the fore part of your arms upward,
clinching your fists as you do so. If
this be done properly, your elbows will
be close in to your sides and your hands
upward, fists clinched and thumbs
pointing to the shoulders. Now stretch
the arms upward by the side of the
head, straightening the fingers as you
do so. From this position bend the body
from the hips and endeavor to touch the
toes with the finger tips, keeping the
arms and legs perfectly straight all the
time and the head between the arms.
Do not expect to reach your toes the
first time you try. You will gradually
do so by practice. Take great care not
to bend from the waist, but from the
hips. If you bend from the waist, you
will curve the back and make it round.
An important point in this exercise is
to straighten the back, and also to
stretch the body, both of these things
being of great importance to young and
growing people.
A Young: Philosopher.
Shortly before the death of Oliver
Cromwell, in 1656, England was visited
by a terrible tempest. In the midst of
the hurly burly a boy living in Lincoln
shire went out into the open air and be
gan leaping to and fro, at one time with
the wind at his back and at another
with his face to it. With the wind in
his face he could not expect to jump aS
far as when the storm was at his back.
By laying down pegs to mark the ex
tent of his leaps, both when he went
with the wind and when he went
against it, he was trying to get some*
idea of the force of the tempest. This
may appear a very odd way of measur
ing the strength of the wind, but it
shows that the boy had a taste for in
quiries and experiments in science.
This boy afterward became the immor
tal Sir Isaac Newton, the great philoso
pher.

While stars and planets strewed the plains
And decked the groves and bowers.

The sun the king of night.
While days were hours, minutes day
And not a clock was right.

Found things were going wrong.

Then, with a mighty strain,
They turned it right side up once more,
And all went well again.

TYPHOID VS YELLOW.
Two Kinds of Fever and Their Fatality
Satieties Compared.
Statistics show that from 1847 to
1878, inclusive, during the eight great
epidemics of yellow fever in this coun
try, there were only 27,252 deaths,
while in the census year for 1889 90
there were 27,058 deaths from typhoid
fever. It is thus demonstrated that
there were more deaths from typhoid
fever in two years than from yellow
fever in thirty years. It is because
one is epidemic, [however, that great
consternation is created when it ap
pears in a community, while the sub
tile disease of typhoid carries off its
victims at the average of seventy-five
per day without scarcely any notice.
It is stated as a fact and there is no
good reason whatever to doubt it, that
fear and panic are elements which en
ter very largely into the high mortali
ty rate of yellow fever. The presence
of the infection excites and alarms
people so that many who take the dis
ease invite and encourage death by
their own fright. Under the modern
system of treating it, yellow fever,
with good nursing and skillful at
tention, yields almost as readily to
treatment as feversofa less infectious
and dangerous character. This is
proven by comparison of the death
rate of the present infection on the
Gulf coast with former epidemics in
the same region. The yellow fever
germ is produced and propogated by
filth and the lack of proper sanita
tion, just as the germ of other fevers.
A beneficial result of the cleaning up
campaign which the existing scare
has caused to be inaugurated will be
not only to ward off the dreaded Yel
low Jack, but it will also serve to con
fine the operation l ’ of other fevers,
and thus the health and safety of the
communities concerned will be great
ly improved thereby.
The Consumption ot Dread.
We have been so accustomed to re
gard bread as the staff of life, the one
essential food, that it is rather astonish
ing to be assured, as the statisticians
are beginning to assure us, that it is
going out of use as an article of con
sumption. Certainly the figures seem to
bear out that assurance. The shrinkage
of the world’s wheat area, taken in con
nection with the increase of population,
the increase in grazing area, and the
enormous and varied supply of fruits
and vegetables as compared with what
used to be available, all point in the
same direction. We eat less bread and
more meat and fruit, a fact that, we
fancy, most people will verify in the
limited field of personal observation.—

MUSTAPHA'S REST.
Now in the -sixth month, in the reign
Us the good caliph, it was so that Mus
tapha said: “I am wearied with much
work. Thought, care and worry have
worn me out. I need repose, for the
hand of exhaustion is upon me and death
even now lieth at the door. ’ ’
And he called his physician, who felt
of his pulse and looked upon his tongue
and said:
“Twodollahs!” This was the oath
by which all physicians swore. “Os a
verity thou must have rest. Flee unto
the valley of quiet and close thine eyes
in a dreamful rest. Hold back thy brain
from thought and thy hand from labor,
or thou wilt be a candidate for the asy
lum in three weeks. ”
And he heard him and went out and
put the business in the hands of the
clerk and went away to rest in the val
ley of quiet. And he went to his Uncle
Ben’s, whom he had not seen for 10l
these 14 years.
But when he reached his Uncle Ben’s
they received him with great joy and
placed before him a supper of homely
viands, well cooked, and piled up on
his plate like the wreck of a box car,
and when be could not eat it all they
laughed him to scorn.
And after supper they sat up with
him and talked with him about rela
tives whereof he had never in all his
life so much as heard. And he answer
ed their questions at random and lied
unto them, professing to know Uncle
Ezra and Aunt Bethesda, and once he
said that he had a letter from Uncle
George last week.
Now they all knew that Uncle George
was shot in a neighbor’s sheep* pen
three years ago, but Mustapha wist not
that it was so, and he was sleepy and
only talked to fill up the time.
And then they talked politics to him,
and he hated politics,' so about 1
o’clock in the morning they sent him to
bed.
Now, the spare room wherein he slept
was right under the roof, and there
were ears and bundles of seed corn hung
from the rafters, and he bunged his eye
with the same, and he hooked his chin
in festoons of dried apples and shook
dried herbs and seeds down his back as
he walked along, for it was dark, and
when he sat up in bed in the night he
ran a scythe in his ear.
And it was so that the four boys slept
with him, for the bed was wide, and
they' were restless and slumbered cross
wise and kicked, so that Mustapha slope
not a wink that night, neither closed he
his eyes.
And about the fourth hour after mid
night his Uncle Ben smote him on the
back and spake unto him, saying:
* ‘ Awake, arise, rustle out of this and 1
wash your face, for the liver and bacon
is fried and the breakfast waiteth. You
will find the well down at the other
end of the cow lot. Take a towel with
you. ”
When they had eaten, his Uncle Ben
spake unto him, saying:
“Come,let us stroll around the farm. ” 1
And they walked about 11 miles, and
his Uncle Ben sat him upon a wagon
and taught him how to load hay. Then
they drove into the barn, and he taught
him how to unload it. Then they girded
up their loins and walked four miles,
even in the forest, and his Uncle Ben
taught him how to chop wood, and they
walked back to supper, and the morning
and the evening were the first day, and
Mustapha wished that he were dead.
And after supper his Uncle Ben
spoke once more and said, “Come, let
us have some fun, ’ ’ and they hooked up
a team and drove nine miles down to
Belcher’s Branch, where there was a
hop, and they danced until the second
hour in the morning.
When the next day was come—which
wasn’t long, for already the night was
far spent—his Uncle Ben took him out
and taught him how to make rail
fences. And that night there was a
wedding, and they danced and made
merry and drank and ate, and when
they went to bed at 3 o’clock Mustapha
prayed that death might come to him
before breakfast time.
But breakfast had an early start and
got there first. And his Uncle Ben took
him down to the creek and taught him
how to wash and shear sheep. And
when the evening was come they went
to a spelling school, and they got home
at the first horn’ after midnight.
Now, when Mustapha was at home,
he left his desk at the fifth hour in the
afternoon, and he went to bed at the
third hour after sunset, and he arose
not until the sun was hjgh in the heav
ens.
So the next day, when his Uncle Ben
would take him out into the field and
show him how to make a post and rail
fence, Mustapha would swear at him
and smote him with an ax helve and
fled and got himself home.
And Mustapha sent Jor his physician

The Baron’s Order.
A worthy Welsh baronet, a member
of one of the parliaments of William
IV, was asked by one of his constitu
ents, who chanced to be in town at the
time, for an order of admission into the
house. With his characteristic disposi
tion to oblige Sir immediately
complied with the request and wrote an
order in the usual terms and addressed
it thus, ** To the Door Ceeper of the
House of Kommons.” The person for
whom it was intended discovered the
errors in the spelling after he had gone
10 or 12 yards from the worthy baronet,
and turning back and running up to
him said: “Oh, Sir , there is a
slight mistake in your order. Two let
ters have been transposed. You have
spelled ‘ keeper ’ with a c instead of a k,
and “comnfons’ with a k instead of a
c. ” “That’s all right,’’was the an
swer. “The doorkeeper will see to it He
is sure to know which is which.”

f- Just a
Little Pain.
The first touch of Rheumatism is a
fair warning of much torture to follow.
The little pains which dart through the
body are not so severe at first, possibly a
mere pang, and cause little inconven- ■
ience, but if the warning is unheeded, I
they will multiply rapidly and increase I
in severity until they become almost.
unbearable.
Rheumatism as a rule is much severer I
in winter, though many are so afflicted
with it that they are crippled all the i
year round. Those who felt its first
touch last year, may be sure that with
the first season of cold or disagreeable
weather, the mild pain of last year will
return as a severe one, and become more
and more intense until the disease has
them completely in its grasp.
Being a disease of the blood of the
most obstinate type, Rheumatism can
be cured only by a real blood remedy.
No liniments or ointments can possibly
reach the disease. Swift’s Specific
(S. S. S.) is the only cure for Rheuma
tism, because it is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the very bottom of all
obstinate blood troubles, and cures cases
Which other remedies cannot reach.

Capt. O. E. Hughes, the popular rail
road man of Columbia, S. C., says:
“At first I paid very little attention to
the little pains, but they became so
much sharper and more frequent that
before long I was almost disabled. The
disease attacked my muscles, which
would swell to many times their natural
size, and give me the most intense pain.
“I was ready to doubt that Rheuma
tism could be cured, when I was advised
to try S. S. S. ' This remedy seemed to
get right at the cause of the disease, and
soon cured me completely. I believe
that S. S. S. is lhe only cure for Rheu
matism, for I have had no return of the
disease for eight years.”
The merc-irial and potash remedies,
which the doctors always prescribe for
Rheumatism, only aggravate the trouble,
and cause a stiffness in the joints and
aching of thebones which add so much tc
the distressof the disease, besides serious
ly affecting the digestive organs. S.S.S
(Swift’s Specific) is the only cure fol
Rheumatism because it is absolutely free
from potash, mercury or other minerals.
