FEMALE BEAUTY

1.-The beauty of the female figure"
says Leigh Hunt, Consists in being
gently serpentine" Stiffness is utter
ly ungraceful. The movements of an
unconscious child are the perfection of
grace; they are easy, unstudied natIr-
al The throat should be round and
pillar-ike. The waist should be twice
the size of this 'tower Of ivory"-not,
as fashion has too often made it, about
the same size. The shoulders should
be sloping and not too broad; neither
should they be too narrow, but occu-
by that soft and rounded mean that
is offered in the Venus Of MILO. The
figure should be. above all easy Too
small waist is an actual deformity,
and young ladies who are foolish
enough to imagine that a waist eigh-
teen inches is lovely should bear in
mind that the famous statue of the
Venus de Medici, the acknowledged
higest type of female beauty, meas
ures twenty-seven inches. The hips
should be high in a woman and wide;
the feet small, but in due proportion
to the hight of the figure; high in
step is beautiful, and a following of
the sole is considered by the Arabs a
mark of high birth. The arm is sell
dom sufficiently developed in a wo-
man of fashion to reach the standard
of classical beauty: she does not use
her limbs, particularly her arms, suffi-
GENTLY to give them the muscular
growth of which they are capable
The arm should have round and
flowing outline, with no sharpness at
the elbow; it should taper gently down
to a small wrist.

Polly's Sense.

Here is a true parrot story. A lady
living in Colorado has very clever
parrot, but, like clever babies, it can
rarely be made to ''show off, at the
desired time. The owner of the parrot
one afternoon gave a tea-party to a
dozen or more ladies. and Miss Polly
positively declined assisting in the en-
tertainment of the guests.
Not one word would she say, but kept
up constant snarling and swapping
that was most inhospita bic, even dis
graceful.
While at the tea-table the ladies drop
ped into the feminine habit of all talk
ing at the same time. This so disguised
Polly that she finally condescended to
speak, and in her angriest tone she
sneeringly shrieked;
'Ya, va, va! All talk at once! Cab
bic, gable gabbler'-Yoxth's Com
panton.

A TELEGRAM from Copenhagen, pub
lished in the Journal deS De6dtS, says
that the Swedish and Danish newspapers
have for some time been discussing
schemes for the construction of tunnel
between Denmark and Sweden under
the Sound. The question of a submarine
way between the two countries has been
raised several times, but never so SER
iously as now. In fact, NJ. A. de Rothe,
the engineer, in the name of French
company, has just presented to the two
Governments interested a plan for cut-
ting tunnel between Copenhagen and
Maine, in Sweden. The tunnel would
be seven and half miles long, in two
parts, of which two miles would lie be-
tween the Islands of Amak and SatthOlm,
and FIVE and half between the latter
island and the Swedish coast. NJ. de
Rothe hhs been for several years en-
ployed as an engineer on the Panama
Canal works -Ne,o York Post.

An interesting case, involving the
liability of a railroad company for
damages to shippers whom its opera
tons are DISTRACTED by strike, has
been recently decided by the Court OF
Appeals, the highest judicial tribunal
in the state of New York The de
cision holds that the railroad com
pany is not liable for damages caused
to freight which it is unable to handle
in consequence of strike of its EN-
ploys. 1t is also familiar principle
of law that a county in which property
is damaged by a mob is responsible to
the owner for the loss that he suffers
from that cause.

A LAKE SUPERIOR MONSTER.

A traveller from the West has been
telling the Observer of some recent oc-
currences that equal anything in Vic
tor Hugo's '.Toilers of the Sea- for
dramatic strength and sensationalism
1t appears a party of copper mine
prospectors We're landed on a lonely
island in Lake Superior to examine
the rock formations and the bottom of
the lake for indications of a copper
mine. They camped on the edge of
the island, and one dark, dreary night
one of the men got up to feed the
camp fire, when he noticed beauti-
full refulgent green light coming up
out of the lake and covering an area
of thirty feet In diameter He re
membered the Indians traditions
about the spot, how they carefully
avoided landing on the island, and
told of a brave who defed the authori
ties, went to the island alone and
never returned, and the strange
sight gave the miner queer feeling.
Calling the other four men in the
party they regarded it with interest,
when one fired shot into the water
and the light at once disappeared.
Nothing was thought of the Incl
dent, and the next day diving opera
tons began from a small barge an
chored off shore, the diver going
down with a crowbar and bucket to
collect specimens and follow sub
marine vein of copper He had been
at work a couple of hours in water
about thirty feet deep, when he went
under what appeared to be an over
hanging rock and found himself in a
cavern No sooner had the diver
passed the entrance to this cave than
all light disappeared and he knew
some large body was in the doorway.
Turning like flash he confronted a
huge-eyed monster with a dozen legs
that grasped him about the body.
The divers pipe, through which air
was supplied, was twisted, and barely
enough to keep the water out of his
helmet came through. He grasped
his knife to engage i'll what he knew
to be struggle for life. One blow of
the sharp instrument severed one of
the monsters tentacles, when another
shot out and grapsed the mans arms
like vice. He was now powerless,
and about to give up hope when the
marine monster took fright and disap-
peared. The diver was at once haul
ed to the surface, and positively re
fused to go down again, whereupon
the party left.-New York Tribune.

KEEPING UPIN THE RACE.

PLACE IN THE LEAGUE.

Atlanta In the Lead, with Nashville Sec
ond-The Home Club Defeats Charles
ton to 2-NashvilIe, Memphis and
Macon Win the Other Southern League
Games-The National and Association
Race.
AS the season advances the struggle
for first place in the Southern League be-
comes more interesting. Every game is
eagerly watched. The fight just now is
between Atlanta, Savannah and Nash
vile. The Atlantas lead, but they may
be passed at any time. They are playing
good ball and are playing to win, and if
they are defeated it will be ON the merits
Of the game. On the result of this and
next weeks games depends the leader
ship in the championship race.
The Savannahs were looked upon at
home as sure winners. They have
lost fewer games than any other club.
The chances are that they will get
back the lead if they hold together
and play good ball during the next
two weeks. They will return home
to-day and Will play the Chattanooga
four games this week. All the clubs
will have ''lie Off" from July l to
July 7. 1t is probable, however, that
some ofthe deferred championship games
will be played on these dates. The sa-
vannahs have deferred games to play with
every club in the league. When they
once get back the lead 1t will take hard
playing to wrestle it from them.
The Nashvilles are second in the
race. Macon holds fourth place, Mem
phis fifth and Augusta sixth. Charleston
and Chattanooga are still guarding the
rear. They alternate for last place.
Charleston is now seventh, and Chatta-
nooga is at the bottom. The victories
Charleston won over Savannah last week
gave them the lead of the Tennesseeans.
The following are the number Of games
lost and won, the percentage of games
won and the standing OF each club in the
league up to date:

MERICAN AssOCIATION
NATIONAL LEAGU.
Short stops,

All Of the visiting clubs won yesterday.
Bauer, OF the st. Louis League club, has
been released for ineompetency. He was
a pitcher.
The Chattanooga are expected this af-
ternOon. They are greatly strengthened
since they played here the fret Of the sea-
son.
ODay was unable to pitch yesterday
on account OF a sprained wrist. He will
probably, however, be in condition to
pitch on Tuesday and possibly tomorrow.
Only seven league players have made
fifty base hits this season. They are An
son of Chicago, BrOuthers, Richardson
and Thompson Of Detroit, Common and
O'ROurke of New York, and Hines OF
Washington.
The Nashville Union rises to explain
that players get hurt and have off days,
clubs become demOrallzed, umpires have
faY0rites, but the element OF chance plays
a greater part in base ball than any other
outdoor sport known.
Neal, recently sold to Louisville, pitched
in Thursday's game at Louisville against
Cincinnati. His work was not up to
what was expected. He gave seven
men bases On balls, made three
wild pitches and was hit for twelve bases.
Cincinnati had a picnic and won by a
score of II to 5. Manager Hart says
that Neal will do il he does not pitch IN
more than two games a week. Neal
seemed to have no control of the bah and
and was badly supported.
