Shapely Women.

A staymaker, asked by reporter if
he ever thought of studying women's
figures with respect to their rationale
ties, delivered himself of the following:
Yes the study is an interesting one.
English women, when they are young,
have the nOblest figure, so far as [ have
observed, - said the manufacturer, after
pause. "but they get corpulent and
dowager-ike after marriage, much
sooner than American women, after
which they may be said to have. no
figure at all. English women, as
rule, are less ashamed of their figures,
when stout, than most other fashion,
ables. and seldom resort to tight lac
ing. Mrs. Langtry is superbly shaped
woman, say what they will, and is q
fine specimen of English women in
general, though | believe she is only
half English, after all. Among fash
ionables the French ladies are apt to
spare the scrawniness, but they have
a natural talent for making up and
concealing their defects that it is hard
to Judge of them. There are some pref
ty figures among the Cuban and other
West Indian women, but they are
short, age rapidly, and soon grow
dumpy; yet such as have been French
maids manage to make up we'll. Re-
fined German and Irish ladies have fine
figures on an average. So do the
Italian ladies' The few Holland and
Belgium ladies have seen, are rotund
and essentially built. The best shaped
woman, in every respect, who comes
into this store, is a Hungarian, wife of
a musician in one of our theater or
chestras. Her waist, bust, and shout
ders are like sculpture She is tall,
willowy, and statuesque, and her walk
is the melody of motion. She doesn't
walk at all, in the ordinary sense, but
floats over the ground. Her natural
waist measure is twenty-eight, and she
does not lace down an inch below it.
However, English figures average
best"
"You have not said anything about
the American ladies'" said the re-
porter.
81 reserved them for the last, for, as
q nationality, there is most to be said
against them. American fashionable
women, though inclined to fragility, as
q rule, have naturally excellent figures,
but there are no other women who so
persistently deform and destroy what
nature has given them, through tight
lacing and general slavish obedienc to
the absurdest freak of fashion. Ameri-
can women arc the most unconscion-
able lacers in the world. But, every
thing said and seen, the British fem
mime figures are the best models"

Brooks as Sewers.

When 4 natural water course ira
verses q town and its banks become
built upon, the easiest way of getting
rid Of filth and house wastes is to
throw them into the stream. Every
mans instructive impulse is to get rid
of what annoys him, and not to mind
how his neighbor will be effected. After
\ while, when the watercourse has
become sufficiently nasty, the people
come to 4 realizing sense Of what they
have brought upon themselves, and
then they try to devise remedy. In
this they begin usually at the wrong
end. They look on the stream rs Great
inc the nuisance, and don't consider
that it is their abuse Of the stream that
is the source of the trouble. So they
90 to work and cover the stream up
and call it sewer. What is the result?
Simply that the stencil of the foul
matter in the old channel is bottled up
somewhat, to be vented through every
manhole, every inlet and every house
drain, and probably do more realinjury
than when the rotting filth was exposed
to the air and the sun, and ditfused its
aroma through the whole atmosphere.
The channel of q small natural stream
through . town or village ought never
to be converted into q sewer for house
wastes. This will strike y good many
people as an odd doctrine, but still it
IS q sound doctrine. The functions OF
natural stream and q sewer are so
diversified that one cannot be made to
do duty for the other.
A natural water course serves for the
drainage Of the land all along its course.
Its banks cannot be made watertioht
without obstructing the natural pro-
oress OF the water in the soil and back
ing it up and retaining it where it
ought not to be retained. a sewer,
oil the other hand, is intended to carry
off foul matters which must be gotten
rid of as quickly as possible, and the
channel conveying them must be abso-
lutely impervious, SO that nothing can
soak through it to the soil. As the
level of the water in the soil rises and

The Marriage Of u POetess.

The marriage of Miss Ella Wheeler
has given the Writings something to
write about, and we may expect to see
q good deal of coarse humor printed
about an event which it seems to us
should be treated with that delicacy
with which respectable people are in a
habit of discussing affairs TO which q
lady is party. The fact that Miss
Wheeler is the author of considerable
lurid poetry affords no excuse for the
indecent ridicule to which she has been
subjected, and which has broken out
afresh since the announcement of her
marriage to Mr.. Wilcox, very estima-
BILE young gentleman from New En-
gland. 1t is quite likely that some who
have basely misconsrued the senti-
ment of Miss Wheeler's verse imagine
that she is devoid of hatrefinement; pu-
ritY and delicacy of feeling which con-
stitute the highest beauty Of intellectual
womanhood; these persons are grieYous-
ly at fault. None but woman of the Sc
verest purity and delicacy of feeling
could write such poems as Miss Wheel
er has given US; none else would dare
to do so. We regret the rude jests
which are emitted at this gentle lady's
expense, but we feel that she is too far
above them to be pestered by their
stings or to suffer their evil odors to in
terrupt the flow of her vivid but grace
full muse Chicago NegOS.

falls with the season and the amount
or rain, an open-jointed or previous
channel would sometimes admit water
from the soil and sometimes permit
fluids flowing in the channel above the
level of the ground water to flow out,
and thus pollute the soil and the air in
the soil.
Again, natural stream draining q
considerable territory is subject to
great variations in its volume. A chan
mel to carry its extreme discharge in
Hoods must be many times larger than
can ever be necessary for the carriage
OF the greatest amount of sewage that
can be brought to it. A large channel
is not suited to the rapid removal of a
ILL H~--. 50 f1+hv tirrids ord ,,,~rn
over, costs a great deal more than a
sewer of the proper size. Even if the
large channel for n fluctuating stream
is built through village the sewage
from the houses should not be turned
into it unless the minimum volume of
the natural flow in the dryest seasons
is large enough to keep the channel
thoroughly secured. There are o good
many small towns which have for years
gotten along without sewers and have
arched over natural watercOurses
running through the heart of the town,
bat are now impelled by the sanitary
revival to construct sewers for remov-
inc household wastes. The first iIu-
pulse is TO utilize the covered streams
to save expense Of constructing q few
hundred feet of sewer. They should
be very careful how they proceed. 1t
is better to spend 4 little more money
and be safe, than to economic in first
cost and spend ten times the savings
in doctors fees and undertakerS' bills.
