rl,a smaII.Waist Furore.

writer says: There is no doubt thst small
waist Is admired of all men and all women. No
matter how the Psychologists or the physicians
may talk, women have always compressed their
waists and expanded their skirts, and they al
ways will until public opinion pronounces for
the heavy figure. 1t has never Influenced a
fashionable women yet TO hear that the Venus de
Medic has large waist-she has been told 80
ever since that faultless image Of female beauty
was disintarred. She merely shrugs her should
ers and draws her laces tighter. She knows
very well that If she went to ball with
that figure of the Venus no man would ask her
to dance. SO important matter is it to have
small waist that it has become matter of pride
to the Austrian people, and it is often mentioned
in the court journals that the Empress of Austria
Is celebrated for possessing waist which only
measures sixteen inches. This is greater nobil-
ity than even the possession OF sixteen quarter
ings on your shield. without which you cannot
be admitted to the best society Of Vienna Six
teen,' therefore, is magic number at Vienna
There are many persons, to be sure, who have
as small waist but they have not the height
and contour and becoming fullness which the
Empress has. Nor is the small-waist furore
alone confined to the women of civilized lands,
so-called. The small foot Of the Chinese women
is local popularity the small waist, or the
striving fOr it, is universal. Even grave Hum
bold describes the beauties Of Java as eating a
sort of clay called dmpo, by which they become
veiymuch reduced in size. 1t kills them finally,

esIp words.

Big words are great fayortes with people OF
small ideas ami weak conceptions. They are
often employed by men and minds when they
use language that may best conceal their
thoughts. With few exceptions, however, illit-
crate and haf-educated persons use more big
words than people Of thorough education. 1t is
vciy common but very egregrious mistake to
suppose that long words are more genteel than
short cnes-iust as the same sort of people i'm
aginc high colors and tlashy figures improve
their style of dress. They are the kind of people
who don't begin but always commence" They
don't live, but "reside.' They don't so to bed,
but mysteriourly "retire.' They don't eat and
druk but 'pariake OF REFRESHMENTS They are

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS IN BALTIMORE.

Those newspapers which regard it the chief
duty of party to do right, and is only real func-
ton to serve the public interests, are everywhere
demanding better things Of both political organ
izatons, with respect to the administration of
municipal affairs. We give below some extracts
from the Baltimore Americdu the leadng-in-
deed almost the only-Republican daily news
paper Of Maryland, which criticises sharply the
management Of tha. city. and calls for municipal
reform. 1t says
"There is nothing in which government in this
country 80 completely fails as in the mauase-
ment Of municipal affairs. The resultant owls
fully Justify Jeffersons dictum, that a. Great
cities are great sores upon the body polite
Nothing is tho subject of so much absurdity
~ city government, and nothing can be more
simple in principle. What is municipality Z
Nothing more than corporation created by the
State for the convenience Of its citizens.
The notion of electng a councilman because
he ia Republican or Democrat is as absurd as
to select man to oversee gas. mil because
he may be Presbyterian or q Methodist. \
city Is simply business corporation, and its gov
ernment should be framed simply and solely with
that regard. The cleaning and lighting Of its
Streets the removal Of nuisances, the supply OF
water, the care of public buildings, the protec
ton of the community against fire and disorder
the carrying out OF such improvements as shall
economical conduct of expenditures and the
collection of taxes-these constitute the business
of the city government, and the affairs OF mn
nicipal corporation should be AZ iudicously nd
ministered as any other commercial corporation.
This is all exactly to the point. 1t bears pre-
cisely upon the case of this city, where as W,
have already had occasion to remark, the citi
zens perceive the importance of attending TO tht
municipal affairs, with the single purpose of Sc
curing capable, honest and efficient city OH
GERS. This is all they need-a plain simple
easily-understood proposition, and why the

they should remove the garbage differently o
account of the politics of the cart-driyer why III
lighting of lamps Or the placing of paving stone
should be influenced by the varying opinions o

terious thing, indeed.
The facts are these That the affairs OF on
city corporation arc nearest to our citizens, an
the proper administration of its functions mos
important that it depends on them to see tha
these affairs are properly administered iha
they can only secure proper administration b

if they do not apply all their care and force di
rectly to this object, without confusing and coli
plicating it with other things, they will certainl
