The result Is that the well.trained

The result 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 hand
somer, so that now We can say without
Boosting that the handsomest types 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 in
inspiring our young women and their
parents with enthusiasm for health and
physical exercise.

FLIGHT FROM THE FLAMES.
Narrow Escape of a Piano Maker from a
Terrible Death.

Charles Bauneister, one of the firm OK Au-
gustus Baus Sc Co., piano manufacturers, on
East Thirty-third street. New York, miracu-
lousy escaped on the 10th from
being burned alive in his own fac
tory. The building caught fire on the lower
floor and with series of loud explosions the
flames spread through the structure almost
in minute Mr.. Baumester was on the top
floor, and helped hurry down the men, re-
naming behind himself to see that the last
one was safely out. Then he found
that his own means of retreat had
been cut off. Mounting the stairs
to the scuttle leading to tho roof, he found
that fastened down securely The ascending
smoke nearly suffocated him, and the flames
were already sing ng his hair and beard and
blistering his hands, when with one last eff
fort he burst the scuttle from its fastenings
and sprang out OH the roof, a blast of fire and
.noke following him. Driven on by
the spreading flames, Mr..
Baumeister was compelled to leap from the
roof of the five story factory to that of a
three story building below. There he lay
helpless and exhausted until assistance ar
rived, and he was taken to the hospital He
was seriously burned and bruised, but his in

A City Of Mexico letter asserts that 'ff
the tourists who leave the Eastern and
Middle States during tho bleak winter
months to seek health and pleasure in
milder climates knew Mexico as is, they
would flock here. The country is, and
has been, during my Ave years. residence
as safe as the State Of New York, to 1.-Two
and to travel in. The people are quiet
and as rule courteous to all strangers.
Violent crime is less in proportion in
Mexican than in American cities. There
are fairly comfortable hotels in nearly all
the principal towns, and many new ones
are being built and furnished. The food
furnished is nutritious and plentiful, Tho
mode of cookery is generally distasteful
to Americans, but the keepers of restau-
rants are adopting American customs in
many instances to get their trade. Hotel
and restaurant charges are little lower
than in the United States. Police service
is as effective in all the larger towns as
in the United States, and the Mexican
police are more patient and courteous than
those of the American cities. Several
tourists, who were entirely ignorant of the
language, have told me of their having
been picked up, when lost in the city Of
Mexico, and returned promptly and cour-
teously to their hotels by the police, and
they are as ready to serve the old and ugly
as the more attractive or younger. OF
course it is hard to make residents Of the
Eastern States realize that the climate i.
such that you may dress in light woollcn
goods, and, with light overcoat for
night journeys, be comfortable the year
round; but it is true"

Robust Young American Women.


Some years ago, says the New York
Sun, young woman rather coveted an
appearance of delicate health, as an evil
dence of refinement, and associated fresh
and blooming checks and vigorous ap-
petite with dairymaid style of beauty
that seemed to her coarse or inelegant.
She was also taught to look on little n.y.
sterical fears and tremors as prettily FEM
mine, 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 broth
ers, and stand in mortal terror of cows
and mice. Therefore it happened that
the typical American girl of those days
was 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 i'll health, or destroyed
by the cares of motherhood.
But all that has changed since the time
when Dio Lewis began to preach his
doctrine of what he called physical Gull
ture. The girls of this period vie with
their brothers in outdoor exercise. They
wear stout boots, easy clothing, and gar
ments 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 prac-
tice 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 ex-
ercise. They want to be healthy and
strong and mice and cows do not terrify
them as of old.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Neviving a Good Ola Fashion.

The propricty and good taste Of doing
away with abbreviated names among
women is fast growing into favor and
the good old fashion of giving tho full
name is regarded Us the correct and dig
nilled thing. Mollc and Matte, and
Tillie, and Maggie are again Mary,
Martha, Matilda, and Margaret-stately
names, all of them, and full of signifi-
canoe, whereas their diminutives are
silly and meaningless, and women are
gradually awakening to the fact that it
is far more elegant to reserve these pet
names, if they be used at all, for tho
household, and to sign themselves
always in addressing those outside this
little circle with the full name they re-
ceived at the baptismal font. In this
respect our ancestors showed proper
amount of dignity, and it would be well
now if the old form of addressing
women as Mistress Ann Page, Mistress
Catherine Smith, etc., were revived.
The present custom of retaining the
maiden name rs middle name after
marriage and the use of the husbands
Christian name by widows are both sem
sible, as they identify the individual
