exciting runaways on Lamar and Elm
streets, that we have seen for some
time. A horse standing hitched to
wagon on Lamar street, near the Pa

became frightened, and started toward
Elm street, running into several
wagons, smashing the left hind wheel
OF one wagon into smilheret rs, and
otherwise iDjuring 1t Gaining Elm
street, the animal, mad with fright,
dashed along NJ lightning speed, the
remnants of the wrecked wagon still

himself of 1t. When short distance
above the Elm street entrance of Orr's
livery stable, he was caught. He con.
siderably bruised himself in the race.

Han Dogs.

Much complaint has been made,
from time to time, by many citizens
respecting persons who keep ferocious
dogs In their yards. 1t is true that
these animals are kept fastened, yet
there Is no telling but that some time
they may sunder their fsslenings and
injure some one. These ferocious beasts
are equally as dangerous as un-
tanned tigers, and should not be toler'
sted by our city government.

Small Waists.

Small waists and early deaths have
been the subjects of recent comments OF
physician of celebrity, and his notion
that the latter Is the certain sequence of
the former is borne out by almos: all
authorities of every country. Yet, no
matter how the Psychologist or the ply
sieians may talk, women have always
compressed their waists aud expanded
their skirts, and they always will, until
public opinion pronounces for heavy
figure. 1t has never Influenced fash
IOpahle woman yet TO hear that the
Venus de Medici had large waist she
has been told SO ever since that iaultless
image of female beauty was disinterred.
She merely shrugs her shoulders and
draws her laces tighter. She knows very
we'll that If she went to a ball with that
figure of Venus no man would ask her to
dance. So important matter is it to
have small waist that it has become a
matter of pride to the Austrian people,
and is mentioned in the court journals
that the empress of Austria is celebrated
for possessing waist which only
measures sixteen inches. This is a greet
er nobility than even the possession of
sixteen quarterings on your shield, with
ont which you cannot be admitted to
chest society" of Vienna. "Sixteen,"
therefore, is magic number at Vienna.
There are many persons, to be sure, who
have as small a waist; but they have not
the height, and contour, and becoming
fuilness which the empress has.
Undoubtedly there will always be
foolish mothers who make their dough
tiers sleep in their corsets, and many fool
ish women who will always draw their
laces too tight, but the golden mean re-
mains. A figure well, but not too stity,
suppcrted; waist slender, round-but
not TOO sma for the adjacent tigure-is
the grand desideratum OF fen ale beauty.
| A large woman in France where women
| have taste Tor the becoming in dress
conferred upon them by Providence
wears ample draperies, loosely fitting gar
ments, and corset which does her the
| b st possible service, 4or it makes her
| look and feel at Der ease mo labored
| breathing, No unnatural redness, no feat
| Of suffOcation. She ls simply a large,
beautiful object, instead of pillow tied
in the middle, with a general air of as
| phyxia. Large women should remember
that no tight-lacing makes them
look any smaller. Age, which re-
duces everything else, is apt TO add on
the figure Of women, and time brings on
undesirable stoutness. This cannot be
peter treated than it was by the late
duchess of Devonshire, one Of the most
beautiful of women, who grew at the age
of forty years, as English women are APT
to do. very stout. How have you KEEP
youl complexion so pure, my deal
ducbessl' said one of her fellow ladies
in waiting at the court of Queen Victoria
by dressing at ease aad keeping my
temper said the handsome duchess.
