HINTS FOR HEALTH.
The Development of Chest Power and
Strengthening of Shoulders.
l[T. A. Carpenter in Good oheer.l


l[F. A. Carpenter in Good Cheer
"Chest, thirty-three; inflated, thirty-fve."
Standing in the show room of fashionable
tailor's heard these words proceeding from
behind the heavy drapery which cut of the
measuring alcoye.
As waited for attendance the curtain
was drawn aside and young man, who had
evidently just left his order for a suit of
clothes, stepped out. He was of medium
height with decently broad shoulders and
fairly proportioned limbs, yet the flatness
of the narrow chest spoiled all beauty of
form by lack of fullness that meant a lack
of power, shorter life, and weaker hold
upon existence.
Passing out into the street my attention
was directed by this incident to the forms
of the men met, and in my walk did not
see single perfect development of chest
among the crowd OF young and middle-
aged men Of all classes and conditions that
great city's streets may show.
. That afternoon i attended an athletic
meeting In one of the city parks, where
trained athletes, representatives from every
part Of the world, contended for the cham
pion honor in feats of strength. The per-
feet development was obtained through
years of steady, careful training, which by
hardened every muscle in their bodies and
swelled out chests, whose full curved
lines, whose broad front and deep sides
gave to the looker-on q sense of tremen-
dous strength and of wonderful endurance.
Stand up moment. Remove your coat
and waistcoat. Put the tape-measure
around you-under your arms, across your
chest-tight, What does It read ? Thirty
five inches. Put your hands on your hips,
thumbs in front-that helps to throw your
shoulders back; never mind II arms akimbo
are proof positive of a tendency to vul-
garity; now take long, slow breath
through your nostrils. Notice the swelling
of your abdomen and the size of your chest.
Now have the same measure taken again
thirty-seven and one-half. Two and one
half inches difference, now that every air.
cell In your lungs is filed. Do not hold
your breath long enough to feel uncomfort-
able In the slightest degree, and let IL out
through your nostrils, of course. Try that
six times every night and morning, and, in
month, make another measurement.

On the files ~ the War Department, GOv.
Cut'n SAVE, are two rather spicy dispatches,
one addressed to him 10y SccIctar, Stanton,
and u { other his reply.
II was late In the war, probably In the
spring Of 1864, that Gov. Curtin came
here to see the Secretary OF War, and after
giving him narrowing description Of the
condition Of federal prisoners In Anderson
vile he appealed to him to save them.
Mr. Stanton said he did not see how he
could do anything, "Why,n said the gov
emor Of Pennsylvania, 1--WE have thousands
Of confederate prisoners; let there be an ex-
chauge.n With some heat the Secretary
asked II he meant to propose that we should
take back q lot Of diseased and enfeebled
men, who could not return to the ranks,
and give the confederates an equal number
Of healthy and woll-fed men, who would at
once recruit their armies.
Gov. Curtin said that was exactly what
he was after. "Well, slr,n said stanton, "a
man who processes to be loyal to the gov
eminent ought TO be ashamed to make such
q reasonable suggestion" Curtin Is an
irnscible gentleman, and he left In choleric
condition.
| Immediately after he got homo he received
from the Seer ctary q dispatch about as fol-
lows "ln the interests Of LOYALTY TO the
government and the speedy suppression OF
the rebellion you should resign ut once and
retire TO private life, which you should
never have left" Curtin replied to tho
Secretary: "In tho interests of humanity
you should die and go to hell, where you
ought to have gone long ago."

The writer Of an open letter to The Cen
tury for December makes a very practical
suggestion In the line of cooperation
among the househOlders, involving the es-
tablishment of new trade-that of "Uni-
versal Tinker,h a workman who shall take
the contract Of keeping houses in repair,
and who shall receive a stated salary from
residents Of block or neighborhood.
In the December Century will appear
opinions on the subject of 'What shall be
done with our ex-PresidentsY'' Y''-cOmment

ber of the same magazine-written at the
request of the editor, by Senator Edmunds,
Judge Cooley, and the Hon. Francis Whar-
ton. All these gentlemen record them

Senator Edmunds thinks 1t worthy of some
consideration. Judge Cooley and Mr.
Wharton consider the senatOrship sugges-
tion as related to former Presidents, and

tail.

next number to "The Lamia' of Keats,

A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.
The Sanitary Police Puzzled Over an
Almshouse Inmate.

A neatly dressed colored woman about %
years of age entered the sanitary officers room
at Police Headquarters Friday and stood for a
minute or so in front of O.icer Teeple. The
officer was figuring upon sanitary matters, aud
did not notice the woman before him. A
gurgling sound made him look up, and, with
his Characteristic politeness, he inquired:
MADAM, what can do for your"
No reply came, and the question was again
repeated In louder tone: care you deaf?''
asked the officer, who had become quite tired
asking the same question In tones that resem-
bled singer running the scale.
A smile came over the woman's face that
looked like that some mischief was lurking
there. She seized piece Of paper, attempted
to write something upon 1t, and with another
Crank" thought the oilicer, who, on eN-
amining the handwriting, failed to tell
whether 1t was a Philadelphia lawyers brief
Tackle this woman" said the officer to
Charley o'Neil and Harry James, as they en-
tered the room. Charley put on his specs,
eyed the woman from head to foot, put the
same question to her that had been asked In
about the same tones of voice, the only differ
ence being that he struck n note an octave
higher on the last round than did the sanitary
officer
"she must be very deaf" said Charley, CIV
II guess She is mute" put in Harry James.
"That is about the size of it,, said the now
Charley now took turn ut the contortIon
act, and he succeeded in finding out that the
woman was from Virginia, aud that she washed
and ironed for living, Nothing else could be
gotten out of her. Aiter an hour of hard
work 1t was thought best to send the woman to
the almshouse until something could be
learned about her.
"She Is now down there" said Mr.. Teeple,
"and the people there have tackled her to
find out who she is We are anxious to find
out her home can give you this description
of her, and If you publish 1t some good may
come oft. She has small but regular features,
quite dark complexion, dressed In red and
black calico, think dark cloth coat, trimmed
with plush, and black straw hat"
"Who Ia she p asked the REPUBLICAN man.
"That is what we all want to know" was
the reply.

the machinery provided by Congress was
known to the court Immediately after It's
appointment, I'm 1874, aud that under the
circumstances the proper course was TO APP
ply to Congress for relief The Supreme
Coult of the United States, Mr. Wharton
says, Is at least as crowded with important
business as Is the court Of the commission
ers Of Alabama claims, and Is content with
on allowance for expenses far less than that
which the commissioners have claimed, but
go far from attempting to enlarge its statu-
tory machinery by Its own action, that
august tribunal has patiently waited from
year to year for Congress TO afford the re-
lief IL asks.
In considering the reply that in the CON
struction Of the statute the practice of the
departments intrusted with its execution is
to be taken into consideration, Mr.. Whar-
ton says "Our books TEEN with cases in
which public officers have been held respon-
siblc for having transcribed the limits inn
posed upon them by statute but | appre-
bend that this is the first case in which the
Illegal action Of such an officer has been
claimed to expand the limits of the stat
utes he transgressed. Nor can the subse-
qucnt re-est0bllshment of the court be any
more regarded as Il ratification by Congress
Of the prior action Of the court than could
the reelection Of a judge be regarded as
ratifying all his prior erroneous decisions.
The remaining point taken up in reply is
that Of res ndludicata. II is argued by the
solicitor, however, that formal approval
by Secretary Of prior items OF an account
no more bars the discussion OF subsequent
items Of the same class by his successors,
than does the sub silento approval by q
chancellor Of certain charges in trustees
account bar an investigation of subsequent
charges Of a similar character when a new
account is presented.
The charges for the payment of servants
in cleaning and keeping order in the court
room, and for criers, tipstaves, and messen-
gers, are held by the solicitor to be sin
cidental" to maintaining the "ofIlcen Of the
court, and are therefore to be allowed

Ye Hen and Yc Egg.

llnulanHpOlls Times.
The free trade conference recently held
in Chicago had rival in the National But
ter, Cheese, and Egg Association, convened
in the same city. The former wished free
trade and the latter demanded tariff on
hens eggs imported from Europe. 1t
would appear at first blush that the Ameri-
can hen ought to be able TO stand, or sit,
alone without any assistance. If not, then Eu-
ropean hens eggs should be totally prohib-
tied. OF course, there may be some aesthetic
people, with veneration for everything old,
who prefer an archaic egg, just as there are
some epicures who prefer spoiled birds and
cheese in an advanced stage Of dissolution
But the great common people, whose pal
ates are uneducated and whose olfac-
tory nerves are sensitive, seem to be
prejudiced-and prejudice largely controls
legislation. And, then, why should we
adopt debased British customP Many
thousands of eggs are imported from France
into England, and in the English market
three varieties of the fruit are offered for sale
at prices In correspondence to their an
tiquity. First, there are nice eggs; secondly,
eggs that are not so nice, and thirdly, eggs
that are far, far different. Americans may
endure British hats and Wagner's music,
but they draw the line on French eggs. The
Butter, Cheese, and Egg Association have
taken lofty stand on this matter, that win
receive the cordial Endorsement of the
American people.

The spell that makes my heart.strings thrill
Where dwells the power that fills my soul

Thy clear notes, like the lark that caught

Seem silver chords from heaven strayed-
A AseTRphs harp amid the stars.
