Beauty in Man and Woman.

I'm we'll proportioned figures it is
usual to find the length of the body from
head to foot to be about eight times the
length of the face" says an uptown ar
tist. "The length of the hand bears a
certain prodortion to the forearm, and
this to the arm fcom the elbow to the
shoulder. The foot is in length shorter
than the leg from the ankle TO the knee
joint, and this is shorter than the leg
from the knee to the hip. An idea OF
the proportion which the limbs bear to
each other may be inferred from the
following numbers, which appertain to
figure measuring from five to ten inches

| knee, and the man who is hanging out
clothes feels like swearing and casts
furtive glance at the house, and is glad
tc ace that his wife hos left her post Of
observation at the window for mo-
| lEent, and is not aware of the catastrophe.
He hastily fishes ont pil!ow-case,
and hangs it over the demoralized gar
| ment, and then he pins on the night
gown, and then two aprons, and then a
sheet, and then shirt, which he hangs
by the sleeves, and thinks it looks well.
Ol course man would hang on to any
| thing with his arms, and why not his
shirt.
"Charles!". cries his wife. you've
hung that Shirt wrong end up! Whoev-
er saw shirt hung up By its sleeves?"
Who wants to stand shirt on its
head?,.' he retorts. LET me alone,
Mary, Jane! guess know how to hang
out clothesp'
Then he seized a hed.spread, but he
has been so long doing his work that
the clothes in the basket have frozen
stItt to 1t, and he tugs. and tugs; and still
the spread and the basket do not part
/ company.
He lays out his strength, and up
cones the spread, but the sudden re.
| taxation OF resistance on its part is too
much for him, and he tlops over back
ward, ana his feet land on the pile of
clothes yet unhuns, and his head strikes
the clothes post. and the girls over to
Browns, who are watching him, set up
a feminine squeal o. delight and amuse-
ment, and he feels as though he should
like to tear somebody or something in
to pieces! And he kicks the basket. and
1t hits the clothes pin basket, and upsets
that ard he gets up and rubs the blood
from his hand where he cut it with the
Ice III falling, and his wife yells out in
no amiable tone Of voice:
Have you torn that spread, Charles
Jenkins?n
And he answers something which
would not look well printed iu moral
|. newspaper. and she gives him little
Christian advice, and tells him she
wouldn't risk her soul by swearing, and
saws she wishes she had hung them
clothes out herself. Indeed she does!
He IS sullen now, and he does not
heed suggestions any more. He lust
gets the things on the line as he pleases,
and when the job is done, that clothes
line IS a spectacle for woman's eyes,
and every woman who passes
oown the back street that day will turn
round and look it, and augh to herself,
and know just as well as if she were told
that man hung out the clothes.
And Charles fingers will feel like
sticks of cordwood to him by the time
he is done, and it will take him half
day to thaw them out properly and get
the tingle out of them.
But he is satisfied in spirit, for he be-
lieves that he has proved to the women
of the vicinity, and to Mary Jane in par
ticnlar, tn he can hang out clothes as
well as any woman in the world Yes,
sir.
And just as soon as dinner is out of
the way Mary Jane rigs on her leggins
and rubbers, and puts Oh her mittens,
and goes out and changes those shirts
and things all over and picks up the
| pins out Of the snow that he scattered
round, and found out about the legs of
the drawers, and says to herself that
she'll hang the clothes out herself here
after, If she has to 60 over her head in
| the snow!

The formation of Ore Veins.

The formation of ore veins, according
to the showing of DR.. Fleitmann of Ger
many. does not necessarily involve such
long periods Of time as geologists have
assumed. DIR. T.. states that some two
years ago. ne had the bottom Of a. stab;e
pit filledRand rammed with common clay
containing iron. The pit had served its
purposStor storing dung for about two
years, during which ti.ne, occ. sionsfy,
TO prevent tAoverheating. water had beeh
sponred over it. Lately it had become
necessary 10 remove the pit, when the
surprising fact was revealed that the.
clay fhldsentirely changed in character,
and lahbecome white; it was moreover,
divided in numerous directions by fs-
sures, from b25th to 18th inch in width,
which were filed by compact iron pyr-
ties. The explanation offered ofthis re-
markable phenomenon is that the iron
oxide. of the clay was changed by the
Eafer. containing sulphate OF. aln.lonia.
INTO sulphate Of IRON, and the latter had
in accordance with molecular attraction,
deposited itself In grodps or fssures-
the form in which it was found.

HYDRoPHOBIA.

Death of a Child in Philadelphia
Strange Developments OF the Dread.
: full Disease.
From the CINCINNATI Enquirer.
Massey AIberson, aged ten, died at
his pareuts" residence, Philadelphia, of
lhydrophobia. He was badly bitten on
the hand October 18th of last year.
while playing with Spltz dog. The
wounds were, promptly cauterized, the
dog was killed, and no symptoms of the
distemper slowed themselves until
Wednesday last. He became unusually
nervous and showed signs of increased
intellectual power. He was unusually
bright and talkative, and astonished his
parents by the brilliancy of his remarks
and his unusual talkativeness. That
night at supper he tried To drink his tea,
but could not, and subsequently when
water was offered him he refused it. and
said he could not swallow it. Later that
night water waa offere him again, and
he tried TO take it, but. the effort to swal.
low threw him into CONFUSION, during
which he had a sharp barking cough.
The physician who was summoned pro-
/. nounced the child's distemper to be
hydropboha.
The child could not swallow anything.
though consumed by thirst all day Thurs
day. Thursday night one fit succeeded
another until he died: These fits lasted
from ten to fifteen minutes, and then a
perio Of five or 81 tx minutes of compar-
i've rest and quietude came, to be fol-
lowed by .an3lher spasm OF intense
agony, during which his. lace was hor-
ribly contorted, his hands tightly
clenched and his knees drawn up. In
TACT, every musre'ia his body seemed
broughtinto violent action. In the in
tervals between the conclusions he was
sensible and able TO tell his feelings.
He said he did not dread water because
It was water, but because he knew that
the muscles OF his throat were so con-
tracted and so sore that he could not
swallow it without intense agony.
