The Antique Waist,

believe it is said that the corset
was not unknown to Rome; but it is
clear that the Greek and Roman wom-
en-. as whole, were quite convinced
that the human form was itself beau
tiful, so that they made no attempt to
disfgure it by compression or addition.
Young girls were dressed simply plain
ly, and yet elegantly, in the flowing
stola, slightly opened at the throat and
occasionally falling in tive sets of folds.
On the eve of marriage they were clad
in white robe called the regilla. A.
ter that event they wore the gardle,
which the Roman matron generally
placed Immediately beneath her bosom
Sometimes it was band, and at other
times chord tied in bow, over which
the folds of the upper part of the dress
fell gracefully. Among the Greeks,
though not infrequently worn as Just
described, it was often placed lower
down; occasionally the stola was bound
about the bosom by a band passing
over the right shoulder and under the
left breast. This gave the right
arm liberty for action. and it was only
for this object, or for speedy motion
that the waist chord ever seems to have
been drawn very tight. So little did
the Greek and Roman women think of
the waist that in great numbers of
draped statues their mantles are so ar
ranged as to hide it altogether.

LOST! THREE LITTLE ROB.
ms!

o! where is the boy dressed in jacket o.
Who climbed up tree in the orchard to-day
And carried my three little robins away,
They hardly were dressed
When he took from the nest
MY three little robins and left me bereft.
o wrens, have you seen in your travels TO-
a very small boy, dressed in jacket of gray,
Who carried my three little robins away
He had light colored hair,
And his feet we're both bare,
An, me he was cruel and mean declare
Q butterfly stop just one moment, I pray
Have you seen a boy dressed in jacket OF
Who carried my three little brides away!
He has pretty blue eyes,
And was small of his size,
All! he must be wicked and not very wise.
o Bees! with your bags of sweet nectarine,
Have YOU seen boy dressed in jacket Of
And carrying three little brides aways
Did he 60 through the town,
Or 60 sneaking around
Through the hedges and by-ways with head
hanging down.
o boy with blue eyes dressed in jacket of
gray,
If you will bring back my three robins to-
day,
With the sweetest of music the gift I'll re-
pay.
III sing all day long
My merriest song,
And will forgive you this terrible wrong.
Bobolinks! did you see my birdie and me-,
How happy we were in the old apple tree,
Until was robbed of my young as you see!
o how can sing
Unless he will bring
My three robins back to sleep under my
wing. The Nursery.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Bulg8cI8 Invaded.

In pursuance of the proclamation of wal 8,
the Servian army under the direct COM
mand of King Milan, invaded Bulgaria the
18th. The objective point of the invading
army is Sofia, toward which the Servian
army is marching in three divisions, and in
front of which it is expected to concentrate
the ed. A sharp fight is reported already
between the advance guards, but the first
important engagement is not expected un-
til the central division reaches the rocky
gorge of the Dragonian defle, where the
Bulgarians are in force. Both armies are
reported enthusiastic, though Servia dis
plays much the stronger force. and is ap-
parently much better prepared for the
struggle. The actual commencement of
hostilities has caused intense excitement
throughout Europe, and great anxiety is
felt as to the result, especially as complica-
tions threatening the peace of Europe are
among the possibilities.

Stopping Vibrations.

In an establishment where numbers
of sewing machines are used, there was
much annoyance from the ring and
singing of the machines in motion.
The manager raised them from the floor
and put slips of rubber under the legs.
The device was useless, and bits of lead
were substituted with no relief. An in
telligent mechanic was called in, and
he drilled holes in the legs, and even
in the tables of the machines, counter
sunk them, introduced plugs of soft
bar lead, and rivited them in. To de-
termine the place of the vibration he
used an ordinary spirit level in an iron
case: and holding it against an upright
portion, he detected the vibration by
the change in the shape of the bubble.

A CURIOUS thing is stated regarding
the sizes and shape of peoples feet in
different sections of the country. In
New England the instep is less devel-
oped than farther South, and the shoes
made for the trade in Massachusetts or
Connecticut are lower at that point
than those manufactured for sale in
New York or Pennsylvania. The aver
age sizes for men in Chicago is stated
as nearly IL, while in Boston the aver
age size is about y. As rule men s
feet are better shaped than women's,
the reason given being that most wo-
men wear a shoe a size or two too
small, while men incline to roomy
boots and shoes.

I'm the oven-which must not be too
hOt-take them out when q delicate
brown, and butter at once. For my
own use 1 dry all homemade bread in
this manner.
DRY toast should be served within
the folds of napkin If you wish to
keep it hot; toast-racks allow the heat
to escape, and they are not recon-
mended.
dip toast-Prepare the toast as
| above directed; dip the edges into hot
water quickly, and butter at once.
This is also called water toast.
milk toast-Wet the pan to be used
with cold water, which prevents burn
ing. Melt an ounce of Toured butter;
whisk into it a pint of hot milk; add q
little salt; simmer. Prepare four slices
of toast; put them in deep dish one
at time; pour little of the milk ov-
er each, and over the last one pour the
remainder of the milk.
"Oyster Toast-Select fifteen plump
oysters; chop them fine, and add salt,
pepper, and q suspicion of nutmeg.
Beat up the yolks of two eggs with a
gill of cream; whisk this into the
simmering oysters. When set, pour
the whole over slices of buttered
toast.
"Anchoyy Toast-1he best way to
prepare this appetizing dish is as
follows: Toast the bread and trim it
neatly, and place It near the range to
keep warm; next prepare a dip, as
for ordinary cream toast; spread
thin layer of anchovy paste on each
slice of bread; place in hot. deep
dish; pour the prepared cream over
them and serve.
"Clam Toast-Chop up two dozen
small clans into fine pieces; simmer
for thirty minutes in hot water enough
to cover them. Beat up the yolks of
two eggs; add little cayenne and
gill of warmed milk; dissolve half a
teaspoonful of flour in a little cold
milk; simmer all together; pour over
buttered toast, and serve.
''Marrow-bone TOast-PrOcure two
beef shin-bones about six to eight
inches long; cover them with dough,
and wrap them in muslin; pour on hot
water enough to cover them, and
boil for an hour and a half. Remove
cloth and dough; shake or draw out
the marrow with long-handled fork
upon slices of hot toast. Add salt,
cayenne, and. if convenient, little
chopped celery, and serve.
"Salmon Toast.-It very often occurs
that a can of Salmon is not all used at
a meal, and yet there is not quite
enough for another meal without other
dishes or ingredients added to it.
Should this occur, mince the salmon,
heat and season it and serve it on
toast. A poached egg added to it is
quite acceptable.
Tongue Toast.-A very nice dish is
prepared from cold boiled or ported
tongue, and cut each slice into small,
fine peaces; heat it in pan with a
little butter. To prevent burning,
moisten with warm water or clear soup;
add salt and pepper: stir into it two
beaten eggs. When set, arrange
neatly ON toast.
''Dainty bits of roast game, fowl,
etc., minced, warmed over, and served
on toast are excellent, and show way
of using good material that would
otherwise be wasted.''

Fossil Forests.

The most celebrated of the fossil! for
ests of which we have any record are
those of Egypt near Cairo, of Nubia, of
Silesia, and of the island of Antigua in
the West Indies. Other accumulations
of silicifed wood are known to occur
in Chill, New Zealand and Abyssinia.
1t is also true that in the interior of
our own continent, in Oregon, Nevada
and Arizona, as great and remarkable
collections of silicifed tree trunks ex-
list as any found in other parts of the
world. On the banks of the Little
Colorado, in Arizona not less than one
Thousand cords of siiicified wood may
be seen piled up in one locality. Here
we find trunks of all sizes up to six
feet in diameter, most perfectly and
beautifully preserved. In the drift de-
posts of Southern Ohio is found an
old soil in many places thickly strcwed
with interlaced PROSTATE trunks of
trees which grew upon it; and in few
cases these are found buried erect.
This old forest was plainly submerged
by the sinking of land surface or the
elevation of the water level over it, re-
sulting in its burial beneath many feet
of gravel and sand. AS hundreds of
cases, considered hopeless, have been

yet the trees are not mineralized, and
have the appearance of partially de-
cayed wood; but if the subsistence had
been occasioned by volcanic action,
and hot water had been poured out
freely, We should undoubtedly have
found the trees silicitied as we do at
the Cascades of the Columbia, where a
volcanic outburst at much later date
buried quantities of trees and changed
them to masses of SILICA.
