A Plea for Large Waists.

Women who have their living to earn
must enter this severe competition,
and they Will never receive considera-
ton because they are women. They
must excel in order to be successful
Excellence implies strengthened spas
modic, nervous strength, which makes
an effort once in q while, under extra
ordinary pressure, but the strength
which can turn off daily work without
excessive fatigue-the strength which
leaves the eye still bright and the step
elastic after a long day behind the
counter, over the sewing machine, ut
the desk, at the easel, in the school
room. Such strength as this does not
go with q small waist. From the ma
ture of things, it can nevertheless, as
has been pointed out, in exceptional
cases be found in women with small
waists. Strong back and abdominal
muscles which can do their
work without the deadly props of
steel and whalebone now so univer-
sally worn-a large digestive capacity,
a rapid and utterly unobstructive flow
of the blood in the veins and the AFTER
ies-these are some of the require
ments of health and strength. And
these things take up room. In most
women God has given room for these
organs and their processes, but is re-
duced and contracted in order to make
the waist appear small. In the name
of honorable labor; of healthy and
happy infancy and childhood; of intel
ligent, highminded womanhood; OF
everything that is beautiful and worth
having for women in this world, we
plead for the scorned, the maligned
the condemned large waist. Give 20 l
body room. 1t is a sin against human.

Onpeii.

This ancient city was destroyed by
an eruption of Vesuvius in 10 AID. 1t
is about five miles distant from the
crater of the mountain. The first
practical excavations were made in
1855, though some peasants in digging
o ditch seven years before discovered
portion of the ruins. About two
fifths of the city has been uncovered
Here, according to a recent traveller, is
a restaurant; its keeper and the cooks
have stepped out, bnt the range, with
its cooking utensils, is here. On a
marble slab stands an earthen vessel
containing fish, cooked in oil with
raisins and onions "a nasty mess"
somebody says, and l fully agree with
that opinionl, ready to he served when
the sudden doom fell. Here is an oven
containing eighty-three loaves of bread.
They have been in baking too long,
and are black and charred. Here are
olives, beans, pickles, nuts, and onions.
Now we enter the house of rich man.
What are these words cut in the pave
ment just as we cross the threshold of
the court entrance? "Cdre canem"-
Beware of the dog" Elegant paint
ings are on the walls; the floors are in
laid with beautiful mosaics; there are
tables of costly woods, plated with sill
yer and standing on ivory legs; there
are touches of bronze and ebony, with
cushions of wool or silk embroidered
with gold and purple; here are baths
so luxurious that in our own city moth
ing in the way of bath can be offered
to excel the vapor and steam baths of
the ancients. Here is the fine lady's
chamber. The Pompeiian belle was
rather ahead of the American girl in
the arts of the toilet. Perfumes in
bottles of alabaster, onyx, and glass
unguents worth $50 a pound, used for
softening the skin; powders and rouge
pots are found in the abode of beauty.
Juvenal, writer of that day, says
ladies covered their faces with kind
of paste or poultice at home, to pro-
tect their complexious from the sun
and wind, and says husband never
sees his wife's face at home. She was
also fond of ornaments. On table
we find her earrings, with pearl pend
ants. her breastpin, her bracelets and
necklaces: her ring in the form of q
tiny serpent, with ieweled eyes; her
mirror of polished brass; her combs,
hairpins, and ivory bodkins.

DRs. DOUGLASS and Shrady, who used
cocaine a great deal during General
Grants illness to relieve the pain, have
been talking with New York CORE
spondent about its effects on their pa
tent. DIR. Douglass said: Il never
used it hypodermically or internally,
and only in weak solutions. The effect
on General Grant was most efficac:ous.
l used it on him first on Dec. IS, 1884.
He came to my Office and said he had
not been able to swallow for several
days, and a few moments after the APP.
plication he was able to take q small
drink of water We did not feel JUS
titled in using it constantly, and for at
least three months no applications
were made. Later on we began
again, and as the patient grew weaker
and the pain became more intense we
had to apply it frequently. The Gen
eral was never allowed to treat him
self, and a physician always watched
him when it was administered. We
never dared to administer more than a
four per cent. solution of it, for the
case was too grave to experiment with.
/ have General Grants own opinion of
cocaine as an anesthetic, and some day
1 may publish it. 1t is not the use, but
the abuse, of cocaine that the papers
should decry." DR.. Shrady said that
he thought the discovery great bless
ing, but thought it would be confined
to narrower fields of operation than
people supposed. He said: "Dr. Leon
ard Corning has recently invented a
process whereby by the construction of
that part of the body to he anesthet-
icized the power of the drug can be
concentrated to the field of operation,
and much weaker solution of the
cocaine can be used. This prevents
the drug coming in contact with the
greater part of the blood, and there
can be no deleterious effect. If this
proves to be what is claimed for it, all
will be well. Cocaine is going to prove
valuable aid in therapeutics, but, like
all drugs, it can not be trifed with"

A Thirty Thousand Dollar Job.

The head clerk OF large firm IN
Charlestown promised an old customer,
one day, half bail of Russian duck,
to be on hand at one o'clock, when the
man was to leave town with his goods.
The firm was out of duck, and the
clerk went over to Boston to purchase
some. Not finding truckman, he
hired a man to take it over on his
wheelbarry. Finishing other business,
on his return to Charlestown the clerk
found the man not half way over the
bridge, sitting on his barrow, half dead
with the heat.
What was to be done? 1t was then
half-past twelve, and the goods were
promised at one. There was not q
moment to lose. In spite of the heat,
the dust, and his fine clothes, the
young man seized the wheelbarrow and
pushed on.

the young man knew very well. riding

"Yes," answered the clerk. "The
goods are promised at / o'clock, and
my man has given out; but you see i
am determined to be as good as my
word"
Good, good!" said the gentleman,
and started on.
Calling at the store where the young
man was employed he told his EN-
ployer what he had seen. and L
want to tell him." said the gentleman,
"that when he goes into business for
himself my name is at his service for
$50, 900"
Reaching the store, which he did in
time, You may be sure the high price
set on his conduct made amend for the
heat, anxiety, and fatigue of the job.
Keeping his word-you see how inn
portant it is regarded. 1t is one of the
best kinds of capital business man
can have. To be worth much to any
body boy must form a character for
reliability. He must be depended
upon. And you would like to know,
perhaps, that this young man became
one of the most eminent merchants OF
this day, and known far and wide in
Europe and this country. His name

Miss Fortescue, the nine days won
der of the London stage, is not, L be-
lieve, altogether forgotten in America.
In England people sometimes speak OF
her, and the following story, which /
have not vet seen in print, is going the
rounds of the clubs. when Miss
Finney, known theatrically as Miss
Fortescue, was staying with the late
Lord Cairns as the bride-elect of the
present lord (then Lord Garmoylel.
the papers were gossiping about Tenny-
sons elevation to the peerage. Miss
Fortescue, gorgeously attired in a satin
dressing-gown, and very much got
up" sat at breakfast listening to the
late lords reading of the days news.
"Ohp said the actress, all smiles and
rouge, show interesting, to be sure

The Art of Conversation.

In this art, woman, If not the queen
and victor, is the law-giver. If every
one recalls his experiences, he might
find the best in the speech of superior
women-which was better than song,
and carried ingenuity, character, wise
counsel and affection as easily as the
wit with which it was adorned. They
are not only wise themselves, they
make us wise. No one has been mas
ter in conversation who has not learned
much from women; their presence and
inspiration are essential to it's success
Shenstone gave no bad account of this
influence in his description of the
French woman: "There is a quality in
which no woman in the wo Id can COM
pete with her. 1t is the power of in
out of fool. She strikes with such
address the chords of self-love, that
she gives unexpected vigor and agility
to fancy, and electrifies body that APP
pears non-electric." Coleridge esteems
cultivated women as the depositaries
and guardians of English indebted, :"
and Luther commends that accomplish
ment of pure German" speech of his
wife. Nine. de Stael, by the unani-
nous consent of all who knew her, was
the most extraordinary converser that
was known in her time, and it
was q time of eminent men and
women. She knew all distinguished
persons in letters or society
in England, Germany, and Italy as
we'll as in France, though she said,
with characteristic nationality, "Con-
versation, like talent, exists only in
France" Nine. de Stael valued moth
ing but conversation. When they
showed her the beautiful Lake Leman,
she exclaimed: "Oh, for the gutter of
the kue de Bac" the street in Paris in
which her house stood. And she said
one day, seriously, to M. Mole: "If it
were not for respect to human opin-
ions, would not open my window to
see the Bay of Naples for the first time,
while i would go 800 leagues to talk
with a man of genius whom had not

A CHICAGO special says: DR.. James

The heir, the crown prince of the
Vanderbilt dynasty, is Cornelius. The
future railroad monarch is now about
thirty-fve years old, says New York
correspondent. His personal appear
ance is decidedly prepossessing. He
is very tall and has an erect, slender,
and graceful figure. His hair and eyes
are very dark, and his face, which is
clean-shaved with the exception of
small, closely cut side whiskers, shows
strength and decision in every line.
He began his commercial education as
q clerk in q brokers' office, in Broad
street, and, after being thoroughly
grounded in the principles of business,
was transferred to one of the clerical
departments of tine New York Central
Railroad in the Grand Central Depot.
There his position was by no means a
sinecure, and he was obliged to per-
form exactly the same duties as his fell
low clerks whose futures we're less

A TRADITION prevails among the In
.dians OF Alaska that on Summer ISL
and. one of group about 1000 feet
high, with almost perpendicular sides,
an extensive lake exists with shores and
bottom of "glass rock" probably crys-
tallized quartz. The Indians say that
a kind of fog overhangs the mountain
about half way up, which, when
reached. takes luckless hunter in its
embrace and carries him away, never
to be seen again. Hence they carefully
avoid even landing on the island for
fear of being spirited away.

WIN. II. VANDERBILTs social position
was not considered very high. Like
Mr.. Gould, lie was almost ignored by
many of what are termed the best
families. He is said to have been prac-
tically ignored by such families, for ex-
ample, as the Astors, Livingstons, and
Rhinelanders, the Van Rensselaers.
Beekmans, and Roosevelts. They still
thought there was little too much of
the 1louueau richie about him; too
much of the orse-jockey, and too lit
tie of the cultivation usually supposed
to be associated with families whose
wealth dates back further than yester-
day. Still, whenever Mr.. Vanderbilt
gave a ball or an entertainment of any
sort his stately parlors were crowded.
The Astors, it may be added, went
there on such occasions, even if they
afterward made party calls" and as
to the rest, more persons were glad to
respond to his invitations whenever he
sent them. His children, and especially
his grandchildren. will have a much
better social position, just as the Astors,
descendants of John Jacob Astor, now
stand we'll in the most exclusive society,
though their famous ancestor enjoyed
little or no social distinction.
He had, it is said, expressed some re-
greet that he built his house where he
did on Fifth avenue; it was too noisy
and crowded there was ceaseless roll
of equipages over the Belgian pavement,
and the street, as the tide of population
moved uptown, attracted such throngs,
especially Sundays, that there was lit
tie sense of seclusion.
