Absurdity of Tight Lacing.

There would be no tight lacing if giIls
could be made to understand this simple
fact, that men dread the thought of marry
ing Il woman who is subject to fits of irriia-
bic temper, to bad headaches, and other
ailments we need not mention, all of which,
everybody knows, are the direct and incri-
table product Of tho compression Of the
waist Men like to see small waist,
certainly; but there is very great difference
between the waist which * well-fsrmed and
in proportion to tha rest of the figure, and Il
waist which is obviously and artifcialiy
compressed, to the destruction of that easy
and graceful carriage which is one Of the
chief charmse ct wonans appearance. An
unnaturally compressed waist Is far more
certain of detection than mass Of false
hair. OF faint busting of powder. The
r:lwest youth who enters 4 ballroom cat
pick out the women who have Strengthened
themselves artiticially. If the young lady
who, TO obtain the appearance of dragon
fly, has been suhiecting herself to consider
able physical pain, and who has been laying
up for herself a pretty store of ailments,
which only want time to pronounce them
selves, could only see the stare of scarcely
disguised contempt, and understand the
ScorRful pity, winch greet tio result Vi nor
labor, we should have y change of the fash
ion-and it is merely a fashion. Through
all changes, women remain true only TO one
fashion. Whether her clothing is as long.
and lank rs that of 4 Grecian virgin, OF
whether she builds around the lower half II
her figure rotund and capacious structure
of steel, she is ever faithful to the tradition
of a small waist; and she will weaken her
circulation, she will make her hands rcd,
she will incur headache, she will crack her
voice, and she will ruin her digestion, all to
produce a mafornation which wise men re-
gard with pity and fools with derision.

The basket brushed through the tree

but it was only momentarily, and no
damage was done. Young Burr stood
upon the rim of the basket and waved
bis hat at the crowd below with one
hand, while holding to the rigging with
Thc other. The drag-rope, about the
s,1o of an ordinary clothes line, and
1900 feet long, lay in a coil on the
ground when the balloon started up, and
there was shout. "Keep away from the
line. Let her run out" The crowd
obeyed, giving the rope plenty Of room.

How the Sale of American Flour is
8 Curtalled.

A person can now, by steamer, leave
our American port of Key West after
supper and reach Cuba the next morning
before breakfast. In fact Cuba, in clear
day. is in sight of the United States, yet
our trade with her is much less than 1t
should be. The article in the atlantic
Monthly by G. G. Andrews, of st. Paul,
shows that Cuba and Porto Rico ought
to purchase about twelve million dollars
worth Of American flour annually; though
actually they purchase only three hun
dred thousand dollars worth. The reason
tor their buying SO little, Mr.. Andrews
shows, is the high tax of sac
dollars and tcelUe csslts per barrel, which
is levied in Cuba on American -four I'M
ported in other than Spanish vessels.
What the United States Immediately re-
quire, he says, besides the abolition of
slavery in Cuba, is the removal of this
prohibitory duty on flour, and very con-
siderable reduction of the duties on pro-
duce and other articles which Cuba could
conveniently obtain from this country.
In asking these ameliorations he thinks
the United States could in return concede
reduction of our duty on brown sugar to
one cent a pound, the average duty being
now two and half cents per pound,
Whether the duty of $6.12 a barrel on
flour shipped to SO near a neighbor as
Cuba is to remain or not Is a matter
which should deeply concern the wheat
and -four producers of Minnesota.
