SPANISH LADIEs.-A foreign correspon-

Spanish ladies

maptilla of black lace Ga very few of white)

comb at the back of the head This which
is the most national aud becoming part of
a Spanish lady,s Dress they have still pre-,
served !; but like womlnkind in other
parts Of the civilized world, they copy the
Partisan fashions in other parts of their
dresses. The fan is an Indispensable part
OF a Spanish lady's acooutrements. Some
of them are of very costly material. Women
of all ages and all ranks are armed with
them everywhere. They go through the
annual exercises with them with rapidity
and decision worthy drill sergeant. So
to vancouver the fan is an exercise totally
unknown in the United States.

SO quickly as to produce strong current
of air. Two ladies sat behind my son in
theater and piled their fans with such vigor
that be actually caught cold from the
breeze which they raised. A thoroughly
accomplished fan bearer can give it certain
signs of intelligence by which she can COM
municate what she could hardly venture to
speak out and by it she can give and re-
turn the ordinary compliments OF courtesy.
A Spanish lady never walks arm in arm
with gentleman, bat always walks singly.
which, il is supposed, tends to give them
that easy and graceful carriage for which
they are distinguished. AS for the ladies
themselves, they have the reputation of be-
ing beautiful but | confess they did not
appear to me captivating. For one good
looking lady on the Prado, have met ten
on the walks in Central Park or Fifth

PERIOD OF GROWTH OF MAN Prof B. A.
Gould, from statistics, derived from the
register OF 2, 5Oo,o 600 men in the United
States Army, has brought out the fact that
the men attain their maximum stature
much later titan is generally supposed.
This takes place commonly at 20 or SO
years OF age but there are frequent in
stances of growth until 35, not very notice
able--a yearly gain of tenth of an ioch
perhaps, still growth. After 80 the stat
ure subsidies in similar proportions, partly
perhaps from the condensation of the car
ti'ages, partly because of the change in the
angle of the hip bone The age for max
inum stature comes earliest to the talest
men, as if it were the necessity of unusual
development. Foreigners were shorter than
men Of native tiiSth The Heights Of men
seemed to depepl on the place Of Ell.

in Iowa, was au( inch taller than if he had

were 500 who measured more than 6 feet

greatest height at 27 in New Hampshire
at 30 ia Massachusetts at 20 in New

some were who had to pay the poor-rates, he
resolved to economic the parish funds, aud

attended the weekly payment OF the paapers,
to have good dinner at the close Of Tue

weighing about four tons, was carried dis

Another huge piece OF the boiler, attached
