KERSHAW'S DISC.

"A Device Which Will Make the Calculation
of Time Easy.
]. d. Kershaw, a well-known Indianapolis
man. who is now in Chicago, in the office with
Russen Elliott auditor of the Chicago & Atlantic
road, has devised and applied for letters patent
for "A disc for clocks and watches. The invention
consists of a double row of figures from 1 to IL
and from 13 TO "a, the inner circle commencing
with Is, being placed under l, aud "a under 2.
by tiIs means the only change will be a new
disc, and the times A M. and p NJ. will be of no
use, the disc showing without any mental calcu-
lation how many hours of the day have
passed This disc will introduce no violent 1nno-
walton, but gradually educate the public to
adopting the standard of railroad time, or the
full Neutrality-suspicious. system.

shane Of = Women's Waist.

The mere closely woman can get
her bust to approximate to the shape
Of peg top the prouder and happier
she usually Is. Why the peg top has
attained to the high distinction OF
serving as model for woman is one Of
the many puzzles connected with
dress. The Greeks, who certainly
knew something about the human
form, assigned to their ideal waist di.
mehsions Quite intolerable to an Eng
ISL woman Of to,dSy. MOREOVER, they
made It Q physiological fact that there
is about al oval waist q delightful sup
pleness and elasticity, while the round
waist. Sc common at the present day,
is hard, rigid anu nuusympathetic; The
fact is that some women are DlesseS
with waists naturally small and oval,
az every natural waist is, while. other
women, less favored by RatgFe, are de-
termined to Guido the smallness at no
matter what cost. But no disorimi
mating critic can ever fail to perceive
the difference between natural and ar
tigoial smallness. Perhaps if this
were better understood women would
cease to ruin their health and weaken
the muscles Of their backs by going
about in a tight fitting Cuiras0, even a
the risk disappearing to depart conspic
uously from woman's ordinary dress
They would then find that some other
problems, such as distribution o.
weight, would settle themselves with
cut much difficulty.
