Dunpy Women.

Women, especially those of the up
per classes who are not obliged to work
to keep themselves in condition, lose,
after middle age, sometimes earlier, a
considerable amount of their height,
not by STOPPING, as men do, but by act
ual collapse. sinking down-mainly to
be attributed TO the perishing of the
muscles that support the frame, in con-
sequence of habitual and constant pres
sure of stays and dependence of the ar
tifcial support by them afforded. Ev-
cry girl who wears stays that press up
on these muscles and restrict the free
development of the flores that form
them, relieving them of their natural
duties of supporting the spine, indeed
incapacitating them from so doing,
may feel sure that she is preparing her
self to be a dumpy woman.-London

A Good Season for Widows.

with it and the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, to secure the most thrifty
and desirable immigrants, and such as
are best adapted to the peculiarities of
climate and soil of the tracts to be settled
and transport and locate them upon such
lands within reasonable period and
without expense to the land owners. In
order to secure the best kind of immi-
grants, provision will be made for fur
nishing houses, tools, cattle, ETC.. to the
immigrants it settles on said lands, upon
reasonable terms, SO as to enable them
to make good start.
This is sketch of plan which, it is
believed, will readily commend itself 10
favorable consideration. 1t needs no
argument to show, if carried out, the
great advantages which will result to all
concerned, particularly to those who own
large tracts of land now substantially in
the wilderness and difficult of disposal
at remunerative prices. Under the pro-
gram proposed such lands can be sold,
populated and improved without trouble
or expense to their owners other than the
appropriation of IS per cent. of the net
proceeds, which it is believed, would be
almost Immediately more than covered
by the enhanced value of such adjacent
tracts as they might reserve for private
disposition. The history of settlements
in the West and Northwest shows that
where land companies with sufficient re.
sources have been properly managed.
under we'll ordered systems, the result
almost invariably has been large profits
and benefits to all concerned. While the
conditions under which settlement must
be made in the above named States are
essentially different from those encoun-
tered by colonization societies in the
West, it is believed that the proposed
plan can be started under such favorable
auspices as will insure equally favorable
results.
