screwing it thereon, and thus forms an

Wide Spread Popularity OF
HsHOmc Sweet Home.''

The explanation ofthe wide popularity
(if we may use the word SO debased) Of
the one song of John Howard Payne is
to be sought for in its universal applica-
hility to the human race. Only among
bestial degraded races of mankind do we
find no trace ofattachment to..home. tits
difficult to say whether the home feel
ing is divine or merely human. or even
purely animal, since we share that senti-
ment Off it be Il sentiment) with the
creatures whose dumb inartlculate cries
are often their only lamentation over
homes of which tiev are bereft. But
the noblest part ofthe human race thinks
chiefly of its home, it's ahiding-pIace, its
haven of rest, in which is hidden all
the sweet donlesticity of motherhood,
childhood, and married life. Separated
from these the soul Of man is Uneasy.
unfxed %uncheerful. In our nomadic
life, full of changes and v~icissitudes,
these separations are inevitable and FREE
quen.. The passionate longing, the pen
sive sorrow expressed iii Payne's lyric,
have been mmo to the human race.
In these simple words the poet gave ex-
preston to the universal thought OF
homesickness that at some time or an
other has darkened every heart. It was
not necessary to his fame that he should
have composed any other literary work
IN. Y. Times.

is n Of the most important items of a
woman's dress. But nothing is uglier
than q hand crammed into glove which
wear, a glove which crowds the
palm into a shapeless heap and
cramps the fingers into uselessness.
The original defects of the hand are not
remedied in the least; they are only
dwarfed for the moment by artificial
ones. The same remarks apply to the
feet and waist. A waist out of proper
ton to the rest Of the body is ugly,
whether it err in being too large or too
small. If it is naturally too large, there
is nothing for it but to make the best of
the business by dressing so as to reduce
its apparent size. Women usually try to
reduce the actual size, and then dress as
ifthe reduced size we're the natural one.
They do not deceive a practical eye, and
the deception they achieve is dearly
bought by loss Of health and irremed-
liable collapse of the figure at a later Pc
Rod. 1fthey only sought to reacht he
normal proportion, the matter would be
trihing. But no who begins the
process ever stops at that point SO long
as she has a friend with a waist smaller
than her own.
OF course in theory the doctors should
warn people of the mischief they are do
ing. They should point out that the
young lady's little ailments are aggrava-
ted if not caused by the liberty she is
taking by anatomy. They should warn
her and her parents that they are de.
stroying the power of the muscles in
tended by nature to brace and suppor
the figure, and preparing for collapse
in later life that will defy disguise. But
doctors, like other people,, are very
much what the public makes them.
They have their money to make, and
their practice 10 extend, and they are
not going to injure their prospects by
becoming John Baptists crying in the
wilderness. They will give genera
warnings about the evils Of tight-lacing,
but if their patients DO not choose tc
make the application for themselves,
the doctors cannot afford to make in
QUESTION which is pretty certain to be
resented.

One of MIR. Blaine'S Stories.

The Washington Critic reports Mr..
Blaine as telling the following story in
answer to an inquiry as to his opinion of
President Authur's administration:
"During Mr.. Tyler's administration the
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plen-
.ipotentiary of France brought to Wash
jngton a very handsome ba1ouche. Mr..
Tyler took a great fancy to it, and for
some time contemplated buying it for
his own use. He had an Irishman for
his coachman. So he concluded one day
he would call Pat in and ask him what
he thought of the IDEA Of buying the ba-
ronche, Pat was sen for, and when he
came into the presence of Mr.. Tyler the
President said to him: "Pat, nave you
seen that barouche of the French Minis-
teri" ~ have yer honor" 81 have
been thinking some time of buying it.
What do you think Of it?" "Yer honor.
it is very nice concern" "But, Pat,n
said Tyler, it would not look very we'll
for the President Of the United States
to be riding around in a second hand
barouche, would it??" "Well yerhonor.
you see you are a sort of secondhand

Small Waists.
From the New York Hour.

From the New York Hour.
There is no end to the, vagaries and
decisions %oflovelv women, but of all her
follies the worst and most persistent is
heriniatuated belief in the necessity for
a small waist. Other fashions have their
day and pass away to the limbo Of vani-
ties, but the small waist is perpetual.
No woman, that ever we heard of, has the
temerity that tight lacing is comfortable
or agreeable; and no man who ever put
his arm around a natural waist, or who
has the ghost of notion of what is beau
tifnl and becoming, has ever accorded il
anything but condemnation. 1t compile

thing as nearly as possible resembling a
chimney-pot. All the grace and poetry
of motion are lost. and II waltZes with
a rigid mechanical something which
moves all in a piece like the body of a
wooden doll. Much the same effect is
produced upou the spectator in the

the frame, and suggests the necessity for
the usual hour glass support-three little
pillars, made to meet the protuberant
portions and takethe strain off the slen-
der middle. The reason is obvious. The
woman is in splints like a broken limb.
Her body is strapped and bandaged in
to absolute rigidity, and all fieXure is
impossible within the limits of constric-
ton. Nature made the whole body
elastic and flexible, constructing for that
end a spine ,iointed in the most elabor-
ate way, and a very complex set of mus
cles. Woman's art has practically made
the spine an ~unbenting rod, and has
gone far to obliterate the muscles alto
gether by denying them exercise and
stinting them oftheir due share of hour
ishment. So the whole automatic poise
of the body is gone, and in its place we
get a mechanical swaying to and fro
about the center of gravity. Balance is
preserved by oscillation instead of by
accommodation.
The belief in the beauty Of absolute
smallness is one of the most vulgar of
vulgar decisions; A well-proportioned
waist is beautiful, Just as a weli-propor-
toned hand or foot is, but a dispropor-
tomato smallness in any of the three is a
defect. We compassionate the Chinese
because they carry the defect 50 far as
misapplied ingenuity can do it. but the
Chinese school is wonderfully strong
among ourselves. The real beauty of a
hand or foot is its shapeand proportion to
the rest of the body, and the shape is very
difficult to improve by artificial means.
In attempting to reduce the size the
shape is usually destroyed. Nothing is
more charming than well-shaped hand
and a well.ittina glove on such hane

A Boys Experience.

The late Edwin D. Morgan, the war
governor OF the state of New York, was
a Yankee Of the kind we read about in
books. When he was a lad of seventeen
he babe good-by to his fathers farm in
Berkshire, Mass, and made his way to
his Uncle Nathan's at Hartford, Ct,
having a capital Of 81 IL cents. and a
good head for figures.
Uncle Nathan kept a grocery store.
and took the boy into it at a salary of
sixty dollars a year and his board, to be
increased to seventy-fve the second
year, and to one hundred the third.
In two years Edwin learned the bus
ness, and his uncle sent him to New
York to buy goods, particularly corn, an
article which New England then had to
import. UEcle Nathan generally laid
in two or rhree hundred bushels at a
time.
g have bought two cargoes Of corn"
said he on his return, ''and probably the
vessels are in the river now"
"Why, Edwiul" cried the prudent old
gentleman, aghast, "what are we going
to do with two cargoes of corn??"
"Oh,' said the young man, II have
sold all OF 1t that yon won't want at a
profit, and could have sold three car
goes i'll had had them. / stopped in at
the stores as Icame from the stage-of-'
flee and made sales.'
The next morning, the young opera
tor took the broom as usual, and was
about.to sweep out the counting-room
when Uncle Nathan said,-
81 think we can find some one else to
do the sweeping here. A man who csn
corn and sell them without consulting
his principal, can be better employed
than in sweeping out a store"
Uncle Nathan took him into partner
rhip forthwith, and, five years after,
Edwin foundeda grocery house in New
York, which still exis-s, after having en-
riched its f%ounderand several associates.
His strong point was Judgment. He
