Five Cents n Line

There is scarcely week passes but
we receive contributions for our COL
umns in the nature Of obituary poe
try. AS rule obituary lines are with
out literary merit and are of interest
to no one except the immediate mem
bers of the family of the deceased and
are read by no one but them. We
have been quite obliging in the past
in the free insertion of such poems,
but they pour in on us so thick and
fast that we are obliged, in self de-
fense, to place an embargo upon them,
or if they must be published, to charge
five cents a. line for them.
Death notices, with few lines of
the personal history of the deceased,
written in prose are always accepta-
BILE, and will be inserted without
charge, but hereafter, all obituary po-
etry must be accompanied by the
money at the rate Of five cents per.
line. If those who write lines on the
death Of their loved ones could hear
the complaints from subscribers that
we hear, for publishing ''such trash,
as they usually call it, they would see
the propriety Of this announcement.

Justice, is becoming rather too much
of a scandal in our land. If juries

Wearers, because they wear the costume
of Adam and Eve before their fall; or,
more strictly speaking, they did 50 until
the English persuaded them to adopt
cloth. In 1871 the English officer called
together the clan, and after q speech
handed out strips Of cloth for the women
to put on. They then passed in single
file to the number of one thousand nine
hundred before him, and were marked
on the forehead with vermillion as .
sign of their entering into civilized So
ciety. Finally they gathered the punches
of leaves which had formed their sole
clothing into q great heap and solemnly
set fire to it. This leaf-wearing tribe
had no knowledge of the metals until
quite lately, when foreigners came
among them, and no word existed in
their native language for iron or any
other metal. But their country abounds
in flint weapons, SO that the Juangs
form remnant to our own day of the

the smallest that human beings ever de-
liberately constructed as dwellings,

VULGAR Errors,

A small foot or hand has no artistic
value unless it is proportioned to tho
rest of the body. The beauty Of q
woman consists in the perfect equilibri-
UNI of her proportions. Her hands and
feet must harmonic regularly and
mechanically with her arms and legs.
A big woman must have big hands and
big feet. The beauty of each member
lies not in it's dimensions, but inits special
form. A young and pretty woman
ought at all times to take care of her
feet even more scrupulously than he1
hands. The once celebrated Guilia
Baricci used to say: 1T is more shame
full and more disgraceful for pretty
woman to have corn or bunion on
her foot than to deceive her dearest
friend without cause" A woman's boot
or shoe ought to be soft, yielding and
easy. It ought to fit the foot like a
glove. A woman who desires to be
well shod must, in the first place, have a
well-made foot; and in the second place
she must not listen to the ridiculous oh.
servations of her boot-maker, but rely
on her own common sense.
