There is no doubt that "small waist"
is admired of all men and all women.
No matter how the Psychologists or the
physicians may talk, women have al
ways compressed their waists and ex-
banded their skirts, and they always
will until public opinion pronounces for
the heavy figure. It has never inhu-
enced fashionable woman yet to hear
that the Venus de Medici has large
waist-she has been told so ever since
that faultless image of female beauty
was disinterred. She merely shrugs her
shoulders and draws her lace tighter.
She knows very well that if she went to
ball with that figure of the Venus,
no man would ask her to dance. Nor
is the small waist Juror alone confined
to the women of civilized lands, 80
called. The small foot of the Chinese
women is local popularity the small
waist or the striving for it, is universal.
Even the grave Humboldt describes the
beauties of Java as eating a sort of clay
called ampo, by which they become
very much reduced in size. 1t kills
them finally, but what of that.-Ap

The Temperature of the Ocean.

DIR. Carpenter recently delivered
lecture before the London Royal Insti-
tuition, on. the Temperature of the
Ocean," showing, from the soundings
made by the Challenger Expedition, that
the difference of climate between North
western Europe and the North Ameri-
can Atlantic seaboard is due not to the
course of the Gulf Stream, but to the
circulation of the waters of the ocean
between the poles and the equator. The
shores of Northwestern Europe have
the benefit of the northward movement
of the warm superficial stratum, while
the temperature of the American coast
is lowered by the surging up against 1t
of deep glacial underfow. The fact,
he saws, comes out most clearly from
the Challenger soundings, which had
been suspected by the United Coost Sur
veyors- that the cold band which separ-
ates the Gulf Stream from the United
States coast is really continuous with
the cold strata that lie at some depth
beneath the Gulf Stream, and this con-
tinuity explains the presence of the cold
band which was previously wanting for,
as any flow of water from the equator
toward either pole will tend toward the
East in virtue of the excess of easterly
momentum it brings from part of the
globe where its rotation was rapid, sc
any flow of incorporating from either
pole toward the equator will tend toward
the west, in virtue of the deficiency o
easterly momentum which it derives
from part of the globe where its TO
tation was less rapid. In this urging
upward of the deeper and colder stra
tum lying beneath the Gulf Stream, W
have very distinct evidence of its south
erly movement. The precisely simila
cold band which has been observed b.
Capt. st. John to separate the Kur
1.-Two, or warm Japan current, from tn
coast may be fairly attributed to tn
same cause.-From Popular Scienc
Monthly.

Potato Digger.

The Agricultural Gazette gives The
following description of a potato digger
that has been brought out In England. !:
la construction it is simply common
pillow with the breast and wheels re-
moved, and potato raising fittings sub
stituted in their place. Thus, instead
of the land and furrow wheels, a ridge
or drill-roller is put on. The object Of
this roller is to roll down the ridge,
clearing it of potato haulm, etc. On
one side peculiar skim coulter follows,
pairing down the earth close to the po-
tatoes. Instead of the common turn
over, a potato one is put on which
turns up the ridge or row, throwing the
potatoes all to one side. Then follows
the self-acting rotatory harrow, which
by its peculiar action leaves the tubers
ON the surface behind, ready for being
picked up by the gatherers INTO baskets,
the carman emptying the baskets, when
full, into his cart.

weeds in his pastures. Happy the
farmer who knows that sheep in an or
chard are far better and more profitable
than pigs. Happy the farmer who has
no lawn mower, who has learned that a
few sheep, even if they are tied to a
stake or hurdled, will keep down the
grass and weeds to proper length
about his home. Happy the farmey
who believes IN the economy and profit
of keeping sheep as an important agent
in keeping up the fertility of his farm,
even though his main reliance is upon
grain crops. Happy the farmer whs
has good flock of sheep whose wool
will bring him 40 cents per pound this
year.

Farm Machines.

knowledge of machinery is becoming
one of the most important requisites in
farmer or farmers help. No ma
chine should go upon any farm without
the farmer comprehending it in all its
parts, the requirement and relation of
each part to the other, how to adjust
and care for it, how to remedy Difficult
ties that may arise, and keep the whole
machine in proper working condition
without the aid of a machinist, unless
in exceptional circumstances. 1t should
be the first duty of the hired help to
learn the same lesson, if he is to be in
trusted with the machines use. This
is urged as matter of economy. 1t is
frequently the case that a non-observ-
ant farmer loses the time of his men
and his own, besides making bill at
the blacksmith's or machinist's, when a
little gumption and ten minutes time
properly applied would have saved all
loss.

Gazing at the Comet.

A young couple were out on door
step on Gospel Ridge last Sunday night,
looking at the comet now visible in the
northern heavens. At least it was evil
dent the lady wanted to see, because
she was overheard to tell the young gent
to " keep his face out of the way so she
could see the comet I" Then there was
a noise like the sudden drawing of a
horses hoof out of the stiffmud, and then
and then-well, the old man thrust
his head out at the front door of that
house, and the young astronomers
turned their backs to each other, and
began counting the stars aloud with
great vehemence. The old man told
them that the spheroidal mass which
they had been so dilig entity contemplat-
ing ON the ethereal dome scarcely de-
manded any more of their united atten.
ton that evening, and the young man
would very much oblige him by peregri
mating in the direction of his own loca
habitation at that immediate period O.
time, or he would enable him to SCI
stars with more multitudinosity. Th'
young man "got" at once.-Porttanc

The Platform of the Independents Of
Nebraska.

WHEREAS, 1t has been demonstrated
that political parties, as at present con-
Quoted, have failed to redeem their
solemn pledges to the peoples. and have
failed to inaugurate reforms conducive
to the general welfare and
WHEREAS, We are DESTROYS of abso-
lutte freedom from entangiing alliances
which compromise principle for expedi-
ency, and are seeking the early resto-
ration of pure Government with pub
lie morality as a foundation /;
Now, THEREFORE,, We, the Independ-
ent Convention of Nebraska, assem-
bled at Lincoln, Aug. II, 1874, do
announce the following declaration of
principles to the citizens throughout the
State who are in favor of advocating
such reforms in the administration of
public affairs as shall best secure exact
Justice to all:
FSrst-We are opposed to any policy
or legislation which seeks speedy re-
sumption of specie payment in the
present financial condition of the
country we strenuously demand that
the faith and credit of the nation be
maintained inviolate that all public
debts be liquidated under and in pur-
suance of the laws by which they were
created we further hold it to be the
duty of Congress to provide by appro-
pirate legislation that the volume of
currency shall be adequate to the COM
mercial wants of the people, and that
the same be equitably distributed
among the States. -...--.,
SecOnd-That it is the duty of the
Government, as respects Interstate
commerce, to limit the tolls for freight
and passage to such reasonable rates as
will provide an equitable percentage ON
the capital actually invested in the rail-
ways. s.>T r...r. rEr
Third That the Government, for the
protection of property, whether cor
porate or private, should be sustained
by an equal and uniform system of taxa
ton that the State and national reve-
nues should be economically collected
without any unnecessary multiplication
of public officials to be maintained at
the expense of the people, already bur-
dened with oppressive taxation.
Fourth-We are opposed to such
! legislation as grants royal privileges to
capital, by the exercise of which labor
is crushed and Illegally defrauded of its
legitimate profits. We hold it to be
grossly unjust that bounties should be
|. paid TO the wealthy while the labor
, which produces it is manacled by legis-
,ative enactments, the result of politi-
, cal intrigue and corruption.
Fifth-We ask such legislation, State
) and national, as will effectually secure
| the indus trial and agricultural interests
, from odious exactions and wrongful dis
elimination by corporate powers.
Sirth-We favor an equitable, uni
3 form license law.
| ,Seventh-We hereby pledge ourselves
g to abide by and carry out, in spirit and
t essence, the principles here enunciated
: to the end that official corruption may
Y be checked, and the State and Nationa
: Governments be ultimately committed
l to the keeping of those who regard pub
/, lie duties as a sacred trust, to be ad
t ministered in the interests of the whole
D neOnle.

Carving Babies.

The Asiatic Indian woman carries her
baby in a blanket hanging In front,
something below the waist the Benga-
lese woman, with the child astride low
down upon the left hip, and her left
arm supporting its back. The figure
seems quite Indifferent as to the diff
culties in this style of carrying, which
must be highly artistic performance
if done so cleverly in reality.
The Egyptian woman carries hers IN
| stately manner, the child sitting
astride her shoulder, with its hands
upon her head, and without any cloth
ing to speak of.
The Brazilian woman carries hers IN
somewhat similar manner, also In full
dress, sitting astride her neck.
The Chinese baby is carried upright
upon the back, in a blanket; and the
South African in bag i'll front, formed
by a blanket, round the hips of the
mother.
The Lower Australian woman carries
hers by swinging it in blanket ovel
one shoulder upon her back, while the
North Australian woman carries hers
bound upon board, after the style o.
candy-models In confectionery stores.
The Lapland baby is carried in {
sledge-shaped cot, made of leather. L
seems to have been chucked in feet fore
most. and then frame tied over tht
opening for its face, whether to pre-
vent it from crawling out, or to keel
the dogs from kissing it, is more thai
can be imagined.
The most unique style is that of tn
Esouimaux woman, who wears wide
high-top boots, and puts the baby
right end foremost, down in the outsid
of one them, and doubtless, accordin
to DIR. Kane's description of her style
, carrying her cooking and eating utter
| sis in the other.
The North American woman carrie
her papoose strapped to board, an
} that strapped upon her back by ban
over the forehead.

Nor while one human heart beats will
the tales of woman's devotion to the OBJ
jects of her affection cease to be told.
In the absence CT our poet we will at
tempt to note in sober prose, though
with profound emotion, an instance of
this devotion in the Chicago fire. A
woman with heart-strings torn with
agony watched the roof of her house
glowing with prodigious flames. Those
dear to her still remained in the build
ing; was it any wonder that her eye
lighted with an almost maniac glare,
and her frantic movements showed all
the torture she was enduring? 1t was
too much-too much. Before the
alarmed bystanders could stop her she
had rushed desperately into the flaming
house, animated by an heroic self-sacrl-
fee. Let us rejoice that it was reward
ed she emerged unframed, carrying IL
her noble arms the innocent creature;
she had saved-four cats bowling and
clawing like mad.-Neac York Tribune
