A Vulgar DeIusiOn.

No one Of correct taste admircs an ex-
tremely small waist. AS well-proportioned
is beautiful, just as u well-p Jrtioned
hand or foot is, but disproportionate
smallness in any of the tree is defect
We compassionate the Chinese because they
carry the defect as far as misapplied ingen-
uity can do it, but the chinese school is
wonderfully strong among ourselves.
The real beauty of a hand OF foot is in it
shape and proportion to the rest of the body
and the shape is very difficult to improve
by artificial means. In attempting to re-
duce the size the shape is usually destroy
ed Nothing is more charming chan we'll
shaped hand, and well-fitting glove on
such a hand is one of the most important
items of a woman's dress But nothing is
uglier than hand crammed into glove
which it was never meant to wear, glove
that crowds the palm into shapeless heap,
and cramps the fingers into uselessness.
The original defects of the hand are not
remedied in the least; they are only dwarf
ed for the moment by artificial ones. The
same remarks apply to the foot and the
waist. A waist out of proportion to the
rest of the body is ugly, whether it err by
being too large or too small. If it is nat
urally too large, there is nothing for it but
to make the best of business by dressing so
as to reduce its apparent size. Women try
to reduce the actual size, and then dress as
if the reduced size were the natural one.
This course of folly brings its own punish.
ment in time, for nature avenges any at
tempt to improve upon her work. Mothers
often begin the mischief. When girls are
at the stage which in men is called hobble-
dehoy their waists often look big and clun-
sy. The reason is obvious enough, The
waist has reached its full development,
while the bust has not; but the first care of
che anxious parent is to crush it into pro-
portion with the undeveloped bust if not
into something less substantial. The stan
dard of size, once fixed, is adhered to, and
the development of the figure, if not check
ed by the treatment soon renders the waist
ridiculous. If the development is checked
the woman never attains womanly proper
tions at all, but goes to swell the crowd of
ill-made.up milliner's dolls that may be
seen any day in our streets.

LIME-KILN CLUB PHILOSOPHY.

Judge Cadaver has lately fallen into the
habit of showing up at Paradise hall an
hour before the meetings open and study
ing art with no one to bother or to make
him afraid By careful inspection of the
busts of Caesar, jackson, Clay, Shakes
peare and Sumner, and by close inspec-
tion of the-three or four sacred horse-pstols
the four renowned swords and the half
dozen chromos, he has become almost a
connosseur and can almost tell the differ
ence between genuine Reubens and tea
store plaque. He was on hand as usual
Saturday evening. Samuel Shin left him
standing before the bust of Caesar and went
down stairs after an onion. Upon his re-
turn the judge lay senseless on the floor and
around him lay the fragments of the busted
bust. The judge had scarcely revived
when the meeting opened, but there was no
shade of pity in Brother Gardeners voice
as he rose and said:
"Judgep padaver will be given two weeks
to replace'de bust wild a new one havin' de
same squint in de left eye. In case he fail S
to do so he will be fined about 'leven hun
dred dollars. Gemlen, dar am few things

CHIEF HAWKINS AND HIS FEES.

Chief Hawkins is, of course secretly
backed by Mayor Wales in his last desper-
ate endeavor to withhold any account of the
spoils Of his office, now forever removed
from his reach. 1t seems to have been
tacitly admitted that the Mayor and the
Chief had been making an exceedingly good
thing out of that poor variety show which
but lately passed under the name of the
Mayors court, and no attempt has been
made to deny that the proceeds to the two
proprietors (if we may use the term) were
not less than $4,000 year. 1t was too good
to last, and the people despairing of wrest-
ing the plunder from the happy twain in
any other manner asked the Legislature to
institute the the Municipal Court. And
the perfect acquiescence, nay even satisfac-
tion with which it has been accepted by
men of all political shades is proof of the
utter degradation to which the sacred name
of Justice had been brought by Mayor
Wales and his willing Chief It is known
fact that out of the scores of burglaries per-
petrated during their administration there
was not single one in which an arrest was
made, and not one in which any of the
stolen property was recovered. The chief
and his men (tutored by the magistrate
who created them) had other objects in view.
They had to look after their fees; and burg
lars do not go about with five dollar bills in
their pockets. The men whom Mayor
Wales police were in search of were un-
wary strangers entrapped into Front Street
whisky dens, and who appeared, from ex-
ternal signs, to be capable of paying the so
cents and costs. The average bummers
escaped and paraded our streets with secur-
ity there being of course no incentive to the
police to 'do their duty where fees were
not likely to be forth coming. Now, we see
Chief Hawkins refusing to render account
of certain fees" even when demanded an
account of them. The reluctance of
Mr.. Hawkins to give up any part of the
plrnder which was the price of his devotion
to his official duties is perfectly easy to un-
derstand, but the Municipal Court is leg
al creation, and Chief Hawkins must give
account of his Stewardship.

PAY AS YOU GO.

This advice is always good, but it is es-
pecially timely, now that the prospect for
work or business looks encouraging, and
everybody feels cheerful. How many times
have You said to yourself during the past
few years, ''If could only get my bills
squared up, never would be caught in
this way Again, i" and you have fused and
worried over debts, contracted when times
were flush and the prospect for paying them
seemed fair. Now is good time to turn
over a new leaf, because it is just the time
when the temptation to do the same thing is
strong upon you. If your wages are in
creased or you are selling more goods and
are getting better profit, you begin to
think ''now can buy that new carpet or
chamber set that my wife wants and can
pay for it in a short time" You had better
wait until you have paid up all the old
debts first. Don't get trusted. Pay for
P'S''S'Sh' anu RAoSCiiSS 40 yOu BO
along and husband what you have over.
The relief from the old debts will be like
the recovery from a boil-yeu feel better
when it is well-and the comfort of feeling
that the little pile you accumulate is subject
to nobody's lien, is positive pleasure.
Flush times almost invariably lead to spec
ulation, and speculation includes not only
the investment in stocks or lands for rise,
but the discounting of the future for any
thing that you want. The man who buys
what he is unable to pay for at the time of
the purchase, is mortgaging his life and his
labor, and mourning burden that he will
most likely regret. "Pay as you go'' is a
wise maxim, for yourself honest, and for
your neighbor just. Its observance will
tighten the cares and burdens of life, sweet
en- toll, encourage industry, reward honesty
promote good neighborhood and induce
prosperity.

Candid orange is a very delicious dish,
and one that can be easily made. Peel and
quarter the oranges make syrup in the
proportion of one pound of sugar to one
pint of water, let it boil until it will harden
in water, then take from the fire and dip
the quarters of orange in the syrup; let
them drain in fine sieve placed over a
platter SO that the syrup may not be vast
ed; let them drain thus until cold, when the
sugar will crystalline. Very nice for des-
sert or lunch
The Wilmingtonian., 1883-06-16

For delicate and very nice dessert make
a pudding thus: "Dssolve half an ounce
of gelatine in half pint of cold milk; let it
come to boil gradually. When hot but
not boiling add the yolks of three we'll
beaten eggs; stir constantly. Sweeten to
your taste; or, if you wish definite direc-
tion, put in quarter Of "a pound of sugar.
This is the right amount for most people.
When this is cold, stir it in pint of whip
ped cream. Flavor with vanilla or lemon.
and the last thing, stir in the whites of
three eggs: have them beaten quite stiff.
Serve this cool, with cake or with fruit.

Your Own BLAcK1NG.-An English re-

hours, then add a quarter pound oil of Wit
riol, mix with three times its weight of cold
water Stir well and let it again stand for
few hours, then add quart of sour beer
water Pour it into stone jar, which keep
in dry place. Before pouring some into

snake the contents of the large jar for sever
