Mr.. Hunter, State treasury, says the
whole amount Of coupon bonds funded
under the new bill, is SO, 100, 6lO.54.
This is a marked difference between the
sl4,000.0OO which is represented as
ready for funding.
While for reasons satisfactory to our
selves this paper has not edtOrialized
on the debt question, we certainly see
no propriety in mlsrcpresenting facts

Idle Actors.

Union Square, says the New York cor,
respondent OF the Hartford Times, i. fast
filling up again with idle actors. When
passing there yesterday, had to edge my
way through very large crowd of them.
They congregate chiefly on the east side
and on the same block with the Union
Square Hotel. A considerable number
may also be seen on the south side, in
front Of the Union Palace Hotel. The
latter house is largely patronized by Thes-
plans of the middle class stock actors,
for instance, who earn fair wages, and the
more prominent members of travelling
companies. The larger crowd is always
seen on the East side, where the "dra-
matte bureaus are, and several saloons
in which the actors meet and chat over
their affairs. All the saloons are in the
easements of buildings which once were
private dwellings few years ago, but
which the upward march of trade caused
to be altered for business purposes.
There are two Ieasons for so many, idle
actors summing themsevesin Union square
at the present time. One is that the pro-
vincial managers are beginning TO. make
up companies for next season. The
other and chief one is that SO many travel
ing companies have come to grief in the
past couple of months, and the members
have at last managed to make their way
back to New York. One feature of the
crowd at Union square is the almost boy
ish appearance otnearly allthe men COM
posing ii. There are very few old faces,
say above 40, but a great many that would
pass for 20 to IS. Not more than one
in ten looks over go The throng is al
ways greatest about noon and it generally
thins out about o'clock. The business
OF the dramatic people seems to be all
done between II o'clock and :. Their
prospects for next season are said not to
be very good. The "job" system, il ap-
pears, is TO be the prevailing one in all
parts OF the country outside of New York
and Boston. The managers find that
regular companies don't pay, so they Just
engage few people for steady work, and
vii! pick up others as they may need them.
From present appearances the stage will
not be good profession for young men
to 60 into for some time to come.

Healthy Women.

A writer, in urging the necessity for
more attention to physical culture, notes
as a favorable sign the fact that "the
pale and interesting" female beauty is
fast losing its popularity, and that men
of position and influence are declaring
for the healthy standard Of womanly
beauty, such as was ever recognized 10y
Greece and Rome. This is certainly an
important and happy change in public
taste and already the effects of it are to
be detected in an improved condition Of
feminine health; for it will hardly be
denied that on an average the women of
to-day are physically superior to what
they were few years ago, when tight
lacing and similar destroying customs
prevailed. Young women take more
exercise than they formerly did. They
ride and walk more and more in the
open air. They have not the insane
dread of the suns rays which they once
had. But there is much room for inn
provement yet. Many homes are still
presided over by invalid wives and
mothers, who furnish a constant spec,
tacle of sadness and misery to their fam
lilies and friends, and are a subject Of
unlimited expense to their husbands In
such homes the greatest of all blessings
that could be hoped for would be the
health of the mistress restored; but too
often it is the one blessing which never
comes: American homes more than
others perhaps in the world, have been
saddened by sickly women. If this
shall be SO no longer, it will be a great
blessing to the nation. And the remedy
is simple. American women are as
strong and healthy Of those of other
nations; there is no reason why Ameri-
can women should not be- All that is
needed is proper attention to dress and
exercise. Let women dress as men do,
so that their bodies shall not be squeezed
and pressed together, but have free room
for motion, and let them get out into
the air and sunshine, as men do, and eX-
crcise their bodies, and the race of
American women will not become ex-
tinct, as it once threatened to do. On
the contrary, it will be improved, built
up and beautifed, and time will come
when healthy man will not have to
hunt q whole country over to find
healthy wife. We are on the right tack
now; all that is needed is to 60 ahead,
and the result will soon be manifest
Women will die to be in the fashion;
Therefore let the fashion of female beau
ty be vigor and strength, and all the
ladies in the land will be swinging dumb
bells, practicing archery, riding on
horseback, and walking as for q wager,
but they will be in style. AG. F.. .ta
