The Girls and Tight Lacing.
allie. in CINCINNATI ENQUIRER.

Clara Belle. in Cincinnati Enquirer.
A girl who has just returned from
London tells me that, in the health ex-
hibition there, one of the exhibits was
meant to depict the horrors of tight
lacing. A waxen figure was subjected,
for the purpose of divulging the secrets
of the ladies' torture chamber, to q
compression to the girth which a woman
may, with proper self-respect, measure
around the waist. The suffering of the
dummy, inaudible, save for the creak-
ing of the machinery, which, IN the
forcible compression of the waist, might
well be mistaken for groans, were quite
terrible in their realism, but the female
spectators laughed instead of beng in
structed. The fact is that the old cur
mudgeous who take corsets as text for
sermons against us are very far behind.
Injuriously tight squeezing of the waist
is rare, indeed, nowadays. aThe COM
ing man and woman" says Dio Lewis,

Suicide and Sleeplessness.
London Lancet.

LONDON Lancet.
The circumstances attending the
death of the Dean of Bangor-albeitthey
are infinitely distressing no
novel features. The reverend gentle
man was man of considerable intellec-
tual "power,' which is the same thing
as saying that he was constitutionally
liable to intervals of mental depres-
sion. ALI highly intellectual men are
exposed to this evil. A pendulum will
always swing just as far in one direc-
ton as it does in the other. Great
power of mind implies also great weak
ness under certain conditions. The
marvel is not that great minds occas-
ionally become deranged, but they so
often escape arrangement. Sleepless-
ness means not merely unrest, but star
walton of the cerebrum. The brain
cannot recuperate, or, in other words,
it cannot rest. Physiologically, recu-
peration and rest are the same thing.
Sleep is simply physiological rest.
The only cause for regret in these cases
is that the blunder should ever be
committed of supposing that stupefy-
ing drug which throws the brain into a
condition that mimics and burlesques
sleep can do good. 1t is deceptive to
give narcotics in case of this type. The
stupor simply masks the danger. Bet
ter far let the ms omnibus patient ex-
haust himself than stupefy him. Chlor-
al, bromide and the rest of the poisons
that produce semblanee of sleep are
so many snares in such cases. Sleep
lessness is malady of the most for
midable character, but it is not to be
treated by intoxicating the organ upon
which the stress of the trouble falls.
Suicide, which occurs at the very out
set of arrangement, and Is apt to ap-
pear a sane act, is the logical issue of
failure of nutrition that results from
want of sleep. It is curious to note
how q sleepless patient will set to work

The Convention Reporter.
Commercial Gazette.

O1nClnnau ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
/. In great modern gatherings, like the
late Chicago convention, there is no
place more interesting than that dedi-
Gated to the journalists. There are
wit and humor, quick joke and light
ming repartee, keen and merciless criti-
cism, intuitive judgments irreverently
proclaimed, and responsive apprecia-
ton of merit and ability, and refresh
ing absence of any prejudice or self
interest. As Mr.. Halstead remarked
from Chicago, the vanity of some of
the great men would wither like leaves
in flame could they hear the running
fire of criticism from the press tables,
where are gathered the bright lights of
our daily literature. The demagogue
is promptly taken into camp and passed
from mouth to mouth. The strainer
for effect is profanely hauled over the
Goals, and the minister who opens the
convention with prayer is 6ercely as
sailed for using an ungrammatical ex-
preston in addressing the throne of
Grace.
For the FACILITATING orator and states
man ignorance of the conversation in
the press section is bliss, and it is well
for his self-conceit that when he sub
sides it Is into the bosom of his friends
and companions, from whom he hears
nothing but compliments and words of
appreciation.
The press gathering OF Chicago was
notable one, and probably not jour-
nal in the land was unrepresented
there, and the list included large ma
jorIty of the most famous names in the
newspaper profession.
The character of the work turned
out from this hot, tumultuous busy,
think-and-work-shop is remarkably
good when we consider that the pen
ellis 60 rapidly on with hardly pause
while the jokes and criticisms with or
namental explosives circulate, and the
din is incessant, and, betimes, the
great convention is roaring like a storm
at sea. Indeed, some of the brightest
and most interesting, as well as pic
turesque, reports are ground out under
these circumstances and at fever heat
of inspiration and exhileration..

The New Pension ONCE.

The government is erecting on Judi
ciary square, in Washington, large
structure for the exclusive use of the
pension office, for which congress has
already appropriated $4,000 1t is
four hundred feet long and two hun
dred feet wide, the height being three
stories, with q vast central sky-light
rising full story above the roof of the
third story and lighting the court. The
roof of theNinclOsed court is supported
by two rows of enormous columns.
This court, with its triple colonnade on
all sides, promises to be the best archi-
tectural feature of the edifice, which
from the exterior suggests q temporary
exhibition building, by the cheapness
of its material and decorations. The
entire structure is of brick, and the
cornices and frieze are of terra Gotta.
Between the first and second stories q
yellow band, or frieze, three feet in
height, is carried entirely round the
building, and on this are represented
scenes from military and naval life
infantry, artillery and cavalry on the
march, wounded men, sailors in boats,
etc. This much at least can be said in
praise of the figures, that they are not
the stereotyped soldiers and sailors of
the picture books, but seem to have
been designed by some one who has
seen actual warfare. They are too
small, however, to be effective. The
building is not yet far advanced, but
one or two things are clear: it will
have the beauty of usefulness, which is
lacking in so many of our public
structures, and it will be a wide de-
parture from the classical ideas that
long dominated our government archi-
tects. For the purpose of providing a
large number of well-lighted and we'll
ventilated ofice-rooms, the plan seems
an excellent one. The architect is
Gen. Meigs, formerly quartermaster-
general of the army.

Reading Aloud.
South and West.


A very pleasant habit for home life is
that of reading aloud some pleasant
book in the evenings, and if the selec-
ton of the book is wise it certainly
makes the home circle very attractive,
and lightens the drudgery of the moth
er, who often sits after tea with her
basket of stockings to be darned, and
who has dreary time if each member
of the family who does not 90 out takes
his or her paper or book, as 1 have of
ten seen, and subsidies into their own
interesting reading, leaving her to her
own meditations. A book read aloud
at home gets charm apart from itself
sometimes; its very name will conjure
up in our memories scenes in the far
past--the pleasant family circle, then,
perhaps, unbroken, the cheerful fire.
side, and frequently, too, the comments
upon what is being read which add to
the interest and give newer insight.
The same association applies to a piece
of work which is in operation while any
book is being read.
