ADVICE TO FATHERS.

The Royal Humane Society Of Eng
land has published some very seasonal
BILE advice to bathers: "Avoid bathing
within two hours after meal, or when
exhausted by fatigue or from any other
cause, or when the body is cooling after
perspiration, and avoid bathing alto
gether in the open air If, after being
q short time in the water, there is a
sense Of chillness with numbness OF the
hands and feet; but battle when the
body is warm, provided no time Is lost
in getting into the water. Avoid chill
ing the body by sitting or standing un-
dressed on the banks or in boats after
having been in the water, or remaining
too long in the water. but leave the
water Immediately there is the slightest
feeling of chillness. The vigorous and
strong may battle early in the morning
on an empty stomach, but the young
and those who are weak had better
battle two or three hours after meal
the best time for such is from two to
three hours after breakfast. Those who
are subject to attacks Of giddiness OF
faintness, and who suffer from palpita.
ton and other sense of discomfort al
the heart, should not battle without first
consulting their medical adviser.

AMERICAN WOMEN GRO WING FAT.
(Chicago Times. ]

The discovery has recently been made
that American women are growing fat.
Not 80 fat as Englishwomen, and, there
fore, not gross; but fatter than Ameri-
can women have been wont to grow as a
rule, and just adipose enough for come,
Illness. The improvement Is attributed
TO a wider spread Of good sense In shoes
and corsets and diet; to the total aban--
donment Of slate pencils, arsenic. and
vinegar as q diet, and the partial aban-
donment Of pie as desert. Not word
Is said about beer. No fact. however, Is
more apparent than that American
women, In surrendering slate pencils,
arsenic, and vinegar, have exhibited re-
markable sagacity In adopting beer as a
substitute, and In thus following the
practice Of their German sisters, they
have succeeded in manufacturing flesh
enough to hide their haggard osteosity
so to speak. The statistics OF beer
drinking In the United States. show 80
enormous an increase that the tyrant
man could not by himself have drunk
80 many millions of gallons as appear
in the totals Of recent years; and in no
part of the country has beer drinking
by women become so suddenly COM
mon, 1t Is said, as In New England.

THE FILIAL WAY.

The neighborhood Of Choh Chow, in
China, is ringing with eulogies of the
filial virtue Of young woman named
Wang. whose fame is celebrated in the
Pekin Gazette by no less eminent hand
than that Of, Lii Hung Chang, viceroy OF
the Chill provinces. The lofty dlgnl;,
tarv urges that monument be erected
in her honor, her claim to the distinc-
ton being based upon proofs Of to 9npre-
cedented devotion. She repeatedly re-
self to the service of her parents drew
her own blood to .'varnish" the coffin Of
her father when he died; cut pieces Of
flesh from her thighs and burned
morsels Of her arms to give to her
food for three days when t this fo| parent

A PRINCELY GARDEN.

The Maharajah of Gwalior is now sur
rounding with a garden, which bids fair
to become one of the wonders Of the
world, his palace, erected at cost OF
81, 25e, 900. of which the Prince of Wales
was the first occupant. 1t will contain
ten garden houses, each illustrating a
variety of Hindoo architecture, and a
winter palace Of glass, imported from
Vienna. Water will be brought from
artificial lakes over channels so con- /
was prescribed to afford rest to Mac8uas
in his villa near Rome. The garden will
be kept perennially green by irrigation.
The expense of all this will be nothing
to the enormously wealthy GWalior.

AN ANTI-MACMAHONITE

At Chervey, Tar-sur-Seine, the pla-
cards of the Due de Broglie were torn
down with the utmost disregard for the
feelings of his highness. The placards
of M. de Fourtou suffered the same fate,
and an investigation was ordered. 80
positive was the affront that the gem
darmes of Eguilly were Immediately
ordered up, and searching inquisition
was had. Finally the culprit was dis
