Besieglng the Prussian Headsman.

In the Kleiae Herald, daily news
paper recently started in Berlin by the
Prussian railway king, DIR. Strousberg,
is published an interview recently
granted to the writer by Krauts, the
state executioner who beheaded Hoedel,
last summer. While Monsieur de
Berlin was chatting pleasantly with his
visitor about the decapitation of the
d-be regicide first perform
ance as headsman-a knock was heard
at the door and a footman in a splendid
livery entered the room with the request
that the Scharfrichter would be pleased
to speak with him for moment in the
passage. Krauts went out with the
lackey, and after brief interchange of
sentences in an undertone was heard to
say aloud, tsTen Her Excellency, the
lady Countess, that / am very sorry, but
I cannot, dare not do it. Interrogated
upon his return by the visitor with
respect to the mission of the mysterious
man-servant, he replied with a smile,
"Oh! it was only request from one of
nay ssympathizers, such as reach me
several times week. You may often
see the handsomest equipages in Berlin
standing at the corner of the Mulock-
Strasse. They bring me lady visitors,
young and old, pretty and ugly. Yes,
yes; many ladies' of the highest aris-
tocracy have called upon me and have
insisted upon seeing my wife whom I was
not at home" stAnd what did these
ladies want?". s.The merest rubbish

with the Iron Cross for valor in the

Alfonso,

I saw this noble youth axd boy king
to-day. There are two conditions that
place country before us in q hrmiliated
shape; one when governed ostensib1y by
boy and really by clicque; the other
when presided over by a womanly man
and governed by cabal. Why Spain
should be as she is may be found in the
character of her rulers. To-day, when
saw Alfonso driving out, I never felt SO
proud before in being citizen of the
United States. If we were to walk up
and down the sunny side of North
Charles street during a balmy afternoon
and try to engage needless girl in q
brilliant conversation, made up of ex-
clamations and grins, he would no more
attract attention than any other young
man similarly engaged on the glorious
Sabbath in that rueful rue. If there is
anything manly about His Majesty it
comes from his mother. When I first
saw him in Paris he was predisposed to
lollypops and mixed candy. Subse-
quently at Addiscombe, in England, he
took to small indulgencies like Ferdi-
nand VII, who embroidered petticoats,
said his prayers backward, and restored
the much talked-of and 1ittle-understood
ssInquisition. If there ever was mon
arch that looked not an inch like a king,
Alfonso is he. I conclude with his COM
ing bride and queen, both for her choice
in husband, home, and certainly a
rickety throne. They tell me-and what
better authority than this prothetic
''they" can you have?-that Alfonso still
sighs over the grave of his lost bride,
'sLa Reina Santa" as these people
piously call her. Certainly she was
lovable lady and true Christian woman,
who won the affections of these people.
If I may accept the whole story about
the coming bride, she is equally endowed
with her predecessor is more way
ward-which in woman is great at
traction to commanding man who loves
to control the rebellious. There are
preparations going on here for the
nuptia1s, that are intensely interesting,
and in some instances peculiarly profane.

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" type of 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 recog
nized by Greece and Rome, This is GER
tainly an important and happy change
in public taste, and already the effects of
it are to be detected in an improved con-
dition 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 Gus
toms prevailed. Young women take
more exercise than they formerly did.
They ride and walk moro, and are in the.
open air. They have not the insane
dread of the sun s rays which they once
had. But there is much room for inn
provement yet Many homes are still
presided over by invalid mothers and
wives. who furnish constant spectacle
of sadness and misery to their families
and friends, and are a subject of un-
limited 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; bnt
too often it is the one blessing that never
comes.
American homes, more than any other,
perhaps, in the world, have been sad
dened by sickly women. Ifthis shall be
SO no longer, it will be a great blessing
to the nation And the remedy is simple.
American men are as strong and healthy
as those of other nations; there is no
good reason why American women
should not be. All that is needed is a
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 ont into the air and
sunshine, as men do, and exercise their
bodies, and the race of American women
will not become extinct, as at once
threatened to do. On the contrary, it
will be improved, built mp, and beauti-
fed, and time will shortly come when
healthy man will not have--tp hunt
whole country over to find q healthy
wife. We are on the right track now; al
that is needed is to go ahead, and the
results will soon be manifested. Women
will die to be in fashion; therefore let
the fashion of female beauty be vigor
and strength, and all the ladies in the
land will be swinging dumb-bells, prac
tising archery, riding on horseback, and
walking for wager, but they will be in

The Comparative Nor aiiiy Of Rich and
Poor.

DIR. Drysdale, Senior Physician to the
Free Hospital, called atten-
ton in the Social Science Convention re-.
gently in session at Manchester, England,
to the comparative mortality of rich and
poor. How came it, he asked, that in
Great Britain. in the face ofimprovements
in every direction in the domain of of hy-
giene, there still remains death rae in
our cities ranging from thirty down to
twenty Thousand of the population an
nually? If We look to one city, London,
for instance, we find that, with all the adj
vances recently made in that wonderfully
healthy city, the death rate was actually
o. 2 per 1000 in 1856. and in 1876 little
higher, or 22.3. Many persons have asked
on reading such figures, What is the use
of medical science if it can effect nothing
more than this?n The real cause of the
non-efiect of the countless hygienic ad-
vances was indulgence. Viilerme, the
French Medical writer on hygiene, found
some thirty years ago, that persons over
40, if in easy circumstances, had a death
rate of only 85 per 1000, whilst the mor-
tality in similar class among the poor
was more than double. or 1871. He also
showed that in Paris, there died, between
the years 1917 and 1886, one inhabitant in
thirteen in the thirteenth arrondissement
chiefly inhabited by the poor, and but one
IN 63 IN the second or rich quarters. The
most accurate statistics ever compiled on
this subject are from the pen of G. Ansell,
Jr., entitled Statistics of Families of the
Upper and Professional Classes pub
lished in 1874. The author collected in
formation concerning 4S,044 children of
the well-to-do classes in England and

Blushing is occasioned by sudden
dilation of the small blood vessels, which,
form fine network beneath the skin and
when they admit an increased volume oi..
red blood cause the surface to appear
sufused with color. B1anchipg is the
opposite state, in which the vessels con-
tract and squeeze out their blood, SO
that the skin is seen ont of its bloodless
hue. The change effected in the size of
the vessels is brought about by an in
stantaneous action of the nervous
system. This action may be induced by
o thought or unconsciously by the opef-
ations of impressions producing the
phenomenon habitually. In word
blushing may become habit, and is
then beyond the control of ahe will, ex-
cept in so far as the will lscau generally, If (,
not always, conquer any habit. It is nj
most always useless and certainly seldom
worth while to strive to cure o habit of
this class directly. The most promising
course is to try to establish o new habit
which Will destroy the onesit has desired
to remedy. For example, if blushing is,
as generally happens, associated with
self consciousness, we must establish the
sway of the will over that part of the
nervous system which controls the size
of the vessels by calling up a feeling op-
posed to self consciousness. 1t is
through the mind these nerves are in
huenced Then influence them in q con-
trary direction by antagonizing, the
emotion associated with blanching
Thus, if the feeling which causes the
blushing be expressable by the thought,

self consciousness blanch with anger, and
this artificial state of mock anger will
soon blanch the face enough to prevent
the blush. 1t only requires practice in

duction of the different states at will the
