The Loss of Waist.

Women, especially those of the up
per classes, who are not obliged to
keep themselves in condition by work,
lose after middle age sometimes
earlier) considerable amount of their
height, not by STOPPING, as men do,
but by actual collap e, sinking down,
mainly to be attributed to the perish
ing of the muscles that support the
frame, in consequence of habitual and
constant pressing of stays and DEEPEN
drnce upon the artificial support by
them afforded. Every girl who wears
stays that press upon these muscles
and restrict the free development OF
the fbers that support them, relieving
them of their natural duties OF sup
porting the spine, indeed incapacitat-
ing them from so doing, may feel sure
mat she is preparing herself to be
dumpy woman.
A great pityl exclaims the London
Lancet. Failure of health among
women when the vigor of youth
passes away is but too patent, and but
too commonly caused by this practice.
Let the man that admires the piece OF
pipe that does duty tor human body
picture to himself the wasted form
and scanned skin. Most women, from
long custom of wearing these stays.
are really unaware how much they
are hampered and restricted. A girl
of twenty, int ended by nature to be
one of her finest specimens, gravely
assures one that her stays are nos
tight, being exactly the same size a.
those she was first put into, not per
ceiving her condemnation in the fact
that She has grown five inches III
height and two in shoulder-br adth
Her stays are not too tight, because
the constant pressure has prevented
the natural development OF heart anC
lung space. :.
The dainty waist of the poets i:
precisely that flexible slimness that il
destroyed by stays. The form result
ing from them is not slim, but piect
of pipe, and as infexible. B t, while
endeavoring to make clear the out
rage upon practical good sense ant
sense of beauty, it is necessary to- un
derstand and admit the whole state o.
the case. The reason, if not neces
sity, for some sort Of corset may b'
| found when the form is very redund
ant; this, however, cannot be wifi
ne very young and slight, but al
| that necessity could demand, and tina
practical good sense and fitness would
concede, could be found in a strong
elastic kind of jersey, sufficient!
| strong and even stiff, under the bus
| to support it, and suffice ntly elastl
at the sides and back to injure no or
CANS and impede no functions. Evel
| in the case of the young and slight
an elastic band under the false rib
would not be injurious, but, perhaps
the contrary, serving as a constan
hint to keep the chest well forwar,
and the shoulders back; but every sti1
and unyielding machine, crushing tn
ribs and destroying the fibre OF mus
Gle, will be fatal to health, to freedom
of movement and beauty. 1t is scarce
ly too much to say that the wearin
of such amounts to stupidity in thos
who do not know the consequence

Fence-Cutting Still FlOurishing,

DR.. J. p. McF arland, late of Nash
vile, Tenn, owns a ranch eighteen
miles from Fort Worth, on Turkey
and Bear creeks, in Parker county,
near the town of Aledo having pur-
chased the same some two years since
He owns from 5000 to 10000 acres of
land, and until lately only fenced 700
acres, which was equally divided be-
tween arabic and pasture land; lately
he fenced from 600 to 800 acres more
for horse pasture, to receive num-
Der of fine stock just imported. The
pasture crossed no roads, and for con-
venience of neighbors and travellers he
erected five gates in convenient places.
On the night of the 18th inst. the
horse pasture fence was cut for mile
and half. On the 18th and 18th the
fence was repaired, and on the night
of the 10Th the entire fence of the pas
ture was cut and a portion of the old
pasture was treated in the same way
The posts were bundled up and on
them was a notice saying: 1--WE under
stand you have plenty of money to
spend to build fences. Please put
them up again for us to cut them
down again. We want the fence
guarded by good men, so that theil
mettle can be tested.
JESUS CHRIST AND JNO. r. G"
DR.. McF arland has imported mum
Der of fine horses and cattle. He has
done his best to establish a good stock
farm, has not the remotest idea who
cut his fence and does not know of &
single unfriendly neighbor. Tht
neighbcrhood in which he lives has
always had the reputation of being Of
the best, and the settlers there art
generally considered people who art
law-abiding in every way.

A CABLE dispatch has informed rs
that papers have been presented to
parliament regarding Gen. Gordon's
mission in the SoudaD. Among them
are Sir Evelyn Earrings Instructions
to Gen. Gordon with respect to the
evacuation Of the Soudan. Gen. Cor
don is given liberty TO use his own
discretion in the premises. One hun
dred thousand pounds has been placed
to his credit and additional funds will
be granted if necessary. Gen. Cor
don's memorandum of January 2, in
which he unfolds his plan for restor-
ing the petty sultans to their ances-
trail power, leaving FL Mahdi out of
the calculation, is also among the pa
pers, He advises that the arse
nails be handed over to the various
sultans. Gen. Gordon believes that
the bulk of Ell Mahdi's troops at Ell
Obeid will refuse to cross the Nile.
He thinks that only 1900, chiefly
blacks, will cross, and that the latter
will desert Fl Mahdi if offered fair
terms. He considers that it would be
an lniquity to reconquer the Soudan
for the khedive, as it would be use
less possession on account of its
deadly climate. HIS pacification of
the tribes engaging in revolt at Khar-
toum indicates the power of money
over religion. A few dollars put into
the hands of Ell Mahdi's soldiers
might buy peace.

Fashionable Envelopes.


The latest fashion in envelopes is
something exceptionally fine. They
are made of velium or the purest
white, and are bound al round With
satin ribbon of some delicate color
which is tied into knot and sealed
With wax of the same shade. There
is great art in sealing letter, and
the candle, the sticking of sealing
wax, and dainty engraved seal are
now requisites of the fashionable
writing table. When sealed, note aud
candle are ready, do not begin by
lhrusting the end of the wax-stick into
the flame and conveying it in a fam
ing Splatter of wax TO your envelope.
Take plenty of time to 90 il. First lay
the s. al right To your hand, so that the
impression may be square and not
wrong side up. Then hold the wax
considerably above the flame OF the
candle, not clcse enough TO burn. A
burnt wax makes u brittle, streaky
seal, and is hard to manage. When
the wax has gradually softened, apply
it with a circular movement of the
hand upon the note. Rub it well
around aud down, until you have the
proper circle and of sufficient thick
ness. Then do not apply the seal
The wax has cooled so that it would
not take clear impression. Hold the
development some little distance from
The flame, then lay it upon the desk
and apply the seal. The result should
be clean-cut impresSioBs

The Hot Water Craze.

The irrigation of the human stom-
ach by means of copiouS draughts of
hot water has several pronounced adj
vantages as a remedial agent. Hot
water is cheap. 1t does not have to
be shaken. If it is Schuylkill water
the patient will be particularly careful
not to shake it. 1t need not be meas
uTed with the accuracy required in
the taking of severer remedies. The
ease with which water can be heated
and heated water swallowed, when
the knack has been fairly acquired,
brings the remedy within the reach of
the poor and the residents of regions
remote from civilization and the cor
ner drug store. But, as a matter of
fact, it is among the wealthy; the high
ltverS, the frequenteTS OF clubs, that
the hot-water Gaze cure takes, and 1t
is they who take the hot water.
The Medical News calls this partic-
ular periodical sanitary epidemic "the
hot-water mania" and traces its origin
to Sangrado, the patron Of Gil Bias,
whose treatment consisted i'll bleeding
and draushts of warm water. The
News says tn ply steal effect of hot
water taken into the stomach is to
wash out that organ and prepare ii
for better work, but it warns the
owner of the abused organ that too
much hot water Injuries instead Of
helps; that it should be taken before
the process of dig stion has begun, ol
after it is completed. and that the
quantity and frequency of the DOSE
should be gagged according to the
conditions of the case. This will bt
news to the city hotels, where cups Of
hot water are distributed among the
guests with the regularity of sunrise
The hot-water craze will have 1t:
day, and in its turn will give place tc
some other cure, new or old. In thu
meantime it would be better to re
move the condition which drives thu
owner of the overburdened stomach
to seek relief in his hot water cups
The man who knows nothing of med
icine and physiology, and yet under
takes to prescribe medicines for hi
complaints, outvies the lawyer VIII
draws his own will and is said to hav
fool for client. There is DANCE
even in doses of hot water, and, if al
organ of the whole system is reduce,
until it requires tonic, physician
the most competent person to sa
| what that tonic shall be.

SENATOR SHERMAN thinks the tariff
should be let alone, because if a bill be
passed now, with Republican Senate
in one end of the capitol and Dem
ocratic House in the other end,
the people will not know which party
to hold responsible for the damage
that may be inflicted upon the
business of the country. Either party,
however, had better accept the meas
ure of damage to accrue from tax re-
duction than to shoulder the response
bility of taking from the people, I'M
necessarily, $1OO,OOo,OOO yearly. AS
far as the question of damage goes,
Mr.. Sherman will find, to his cost, it is
more damaging to stand still than to
move on.

A BILL is before the New Jersey

A BILL is before the New Jersey
legislature requiring the constitution
of the United States to be taught in
the public schools. The proposed law
is good one. In this country, where
it is possible for any man, whatever
his condition in life may be, to become
legislator, practicable knowledge
of the fundamental law of the land is
of the greatest Importance. Had
such law as this been enacted years
ago, when the present crop of law
makers was in the sprouting stage, it
is possible our statute books would
not be encountered with so many
foolish laws for the supreme courts to
declare unconstitutional.
