THE WORK A WOMAN WANTS.

Any woman who wants a short cut to a beautiful complexion, agile limbs, and graceful proportions, may find it by following the directions of Drs. Dudley Sargeant and Charles Greene, v,he assures us in a lecture that when woman does her own hrusowork, with its manifold varieties of physical requirements, marly every muscle of her body may be brought into action daily. Nothing is better for the development of large muscles in the legs or for tho reduction of fat than running up and down stairs. No better method has been devised for strengthening the chest and straightening tho spine than scrubbing floors on one’s hands and knees, especially if the left arm as well as the right be used. Sweeping with a largc-huudhd broom, if the broom be used on both sides, so that loth arms are used in the same way, furnishes and admirable means of developing ihc chest and shoulders. If a carpetsweeper is used instead of a broom, the abdominal muscles as well as the muscles of the back are brought into action, f,nd the extensor and flexor muscles of the arms are much used. Working a lawn mower brings the same group of muscles into still more powerful action, end is almost indispensable. , Kneading bread is a specific for a finelyshaped forearm, and an hour’s work with the washboard is equal to similar efforts with chest weights as a developer of the upper arms, tho back, and the shoulders.
