~EAnru0uAKE PROpmETs.

Several claims to accurate prophecy OF
the late earthquake have already been
put forth, and more will be heard OF as
the days roll on. A recent address be-
fore the British Association by Mr.. Daw-
son included tho suggestion that there
might soon be, or was perhaps In pro-
gress even now, a new settlement OF the
bed of the Atlantic Ocean, and an in
genious contemporary is already willing,
we perceive, to credit Mr.. Dawson as an
earthquake prophet on this substantial
ground. The situation reminds one of
Shelley's commentary on the Hebrew
prophets in the notes on "Queen Nab,
the irreverent poet urging therein that
as those seers prospectively cursed and
blessed everything whatever in turn. it
would have been astonishing indeed il
some of their predictions did not come
true. However, if the scientists can
really favor the world with trustworthy
information beforehand, even of the
slenderest sort, about earthquakes. they
can depend upon it the gratitude they
will evoke will far outweigh the ridicule.

TuE DYsOLArION OF ruE SOUTH

The story told by yc.witncsses Of the
desolation caused by the earthquake is
very sad. The scenes in the streets of
Charleston have been very infinitely de-
scribed 10 the admirable Associated Press
dispatches which have come since com.
munication was established. On the Sd
instant the New York World published
an account of what Mr.. Henry w.
Grady saw in the country during a ride
from Augusta to Charleston. The story
is very graphic, and Mr.. Grady pictures
the ruin so nearly complete that oil who
read it must be moved to the profound
est pity.
The great manifestations of nature are
most impressive in the country, and the
more ignorant rural folk-most of whom
are negroes-are represented as actually
governed by their superstitions and their
fears. Some of them have gone mad.
Others believe that the end of the world
is near, or that great wars are imminent.
Some of the whites share in the unrea-
soning terror OF the blacks, and predict
further visitations of Divine wrath. One
woman drowned herself to hasten an in
evitable death. The destruction OF life
does not appear to have been very great
considering the character OF the earth
quake. This is due to the fact that the
country is not thickly settled, m that
the dwellings are, generally, wooden
huts. But the loss of property is very
serious, and undoubtedly the sections OF
the country which were spared this
dreadful visitation must respond gener-
ously to the needs of the sufferers.
Mr.. Grady describes whole villages as
deserted. The huts of the negroes have
been thrown down, and their former oc-
cupants are flying from the unknown
power which has spread devastation
about them. Railroad tracks have been
twisted out of shape. Ponds OF water
have appeared in places which were dry
before, and dry land is found where
there had been water. Everywhere are
new formations. Heavy engineering
works are destroyed, especially milldams,
and the loss d~eprives whole communities
of employment. xaBusiness is paralyzed.
Mr.. Grady estimates that not 500 worth
of business was done in Augusta on
the ID instant. Railroads must be re-
built and refurnished with rolling stock.
and the whole industrial system must be
revived. Money in generous sums must
be sent South. both to this end and for
the immediate needs of the victims.

profitable employment on the operate

Robust Young American Women.

From the Nelo York Sun.
Some years ago young woman rather
coveted an appearance of delicate health, as
an evidence of refinement, and associated
fresh and blooming cheeks and vigorous
appetite with dairymaid style of beauty
that seemed to her coarse or inelegant.
She was also taught to look on little hys-
terical fears and tremors as prettily femin-
inc, and, of all things, she most dreaded to
be regarded as tomboy or a hoyden.
She might dance all night in a tight and
long gown, but she must avoid the outdoor
sports enjoyed by her brothers, and stand
in mortal terror of COWS and mice. There
fore it happened that the typical American
girl of those days was a thin and nervous
creature, beside whom her English sister
seemed full and rugged. She was pretty
but fragile specimen of her sex, whose
good looks were likely to be soon replaced
by the lines of chronic ill-health, or destroy
ed by the cares of motherhood,
But all that has changed since the time
when Dio Lewis began to preach his doc
trine of what he called physical culture.
The girls of this period vie with their
brothers in outdoor exercise They wear
stout boots, easy clothing, and garments
appropriate to the weather, and which are
made with careful regard to the protection
of their health First, croquet took them
out upon the lawns, and then tennis, and
meantime they learned to row; to ride, to
drive, to practice archery, to take long
tramps and to endure exposure, so that it
has come to pass that girls, like boys, are
ashamed to be unequal to vigorous physical
exercise, They want to be healthy and
strong, and mice and cows no longer terrify
them as of old.
The result of this is that the well-trained
American girls who are now approaching
maturity, or who are already in the first
flush of womanhood are distinguished for
the symmetry and beauty of their physical
development. Their lungs are stronger
and their voices better than those of the
women who preceded them. The race has
grown taller and far handsomer, so that
now we can say without hoasting that the
handsomest type of their sex anywhere to
be found are the young American girls OF
to-day.
OF course Dio Lewis only helped to bring
about this happy result, for many causes
contributed to it, but We accord him great
praise for the part he took 10 inspiring our
young women and their parents with enthu-
siasm for health and physical exercise.

The Mystic Line.


Romds WTstar in Philadelphia Ledger.
You ask me where to draw the line
That separates the young and old
Where we may find on one side these
And on the other those behold.
Mans life is not so plain thing,
Nor man himselfa measured chart
Where we at will may trace the line
Between the old and youthful part
Men are not clocks that tell the hour
And mark high noon for all the same,
Regardless what each one has done
Or left undone since morning came.
The generous thoughts, the kindly Deeds
The qualities of mind and heart
In judging of the mystic line
Tween youth and age-must have part
The busy warp and woof of time,
For each complex web has spun
Which we call life-each life diverse.
Unequal strands through every one
Some woven of the finest WOOL
Some silken, cotton. shoddy, too,
Some wrought with gold and silver threads,
That richly shine the texture through.
VI men ana goOds we Juuge tnc same;
OF both tits well to choose the best.
Life's fabric, like the cloth we wear,
We value as 1t bears the test.
As some good stuffs of other years
Outshine the fabrics Of to-day.
Who has no friend in childhood's hours,
Though old, who still is young and gay?
Though winter settles on his head,
Who keeps the summer in his heart
And kindly fellowship maintains.
VIII always play the youthful part.
He who can sympathize with all,
Can sing song for "Auld Lang syne,"
Can genial be with old or young,
Will surely come within the line.
The raven locks may turn to white,
The stalwart form with years may bend,
But there are those whose bloom of youth
Will shine unfading to the end.
For such as these do conquer years,
Their smiles defy the tooth of time,
Their summer warmth and greenness live
Despite the chill Of winters rime.

shade Trees too Near Dwellings.

The shade trees about our dwellings have
done much to make our wives and daugh-
ters pale, and neuralgia. Trees ought
never to stand so near to our dwellings as
to cast shade upon them. If the blinds
were removed, and nothing but curtain
within with which to lessen on the hottest
days the intensity of the heat, it would
add greatly to the tone of our nerves and
to our general vigor. The piazzas which
project over the lower story, always make
that less healthful than the upper story,
especially for sleeping purposes. | have
cured many cases of rheumatism by adyis-
ing patients to leave bed rooms shaded by
trees or piazzas, and sleep in rooms con-
stantly dried and purified by the direct
rays of the sun.-Dio Le,cis
