Female Beauty.

''The beauty of the female figure,
says Leigh Hunt, Consists in being
gently serpentine." Stiffness is utter
Iy ungraceful The movements OF an
unconscious child are the perfection OF
grace; they are easy, unstudied, natur-
al. The throat should be round and
pillar-like. 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-
Ply 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 O waist eigh-
teen inches is lovely should bear in
mind that the famous statue of the
Venus de Medici, the acknowledged
highest type OF female beauty, meas
ures twenty-seyen inches. The hips
should be high in woman and wide;
the feet small, but in due proportion
to the height OF the figure; a high in
step is beautiful, and a following OF
the sole is considered by the Arabs a
mark OF high birth. The arm is seldom
sufficiently developed in q woman OF
fashion to reach the standard ofclassi-
cal beauty; she does not use her limbs,
particularly her arms, sufficiently
IN give them tho DnuScl,tar circuit n
of which they are capable. The arm
should have round and flowing out
line, with no sharpness at the elbow;
it should taper gently down to asmall
wrist.

Getting Into Bed Without Awake
ing His Wife.

On certain occasion Ferguson was
vending his uncertain way homeward,
sorely troubled in his mind over the
curtain lecture he knew was in store
for him, and casting about for some
means of evading it. Suddenly a
bright idea was evolved from his be.
tlddled brain. He would slip quietly
into the house and get into bed with
out awaking his wife. Accordingly he
carefully undressed in the lower hall,
stole gently up stairs and crept into
bed with his face turned toward the
outside. He mentally congratulated
himself upon his success thus far and
went to sleep. When he awoke in the
morning he daIed not look at his wife,
and after lying still for few minutes,
and not hearing any noise from her,
he concluded she was still asleep. He
then determined to rise very quietly,
carry his clothes into the hall, dress
there, and 60 down town to business
without waiting for breakfast. He
was successful in this, and meeting
the colored servant girl down stairs,
he said:
ELIZA, you can tell your mistress |
expect to be very busy to-day, and
therefore didn't stop to sat break
last with her this morning"
Claw sakes, Mr.. Ferguson~ said Eli
"a, "Missus done gone way yesterday
morning, and said she wouldn't be
back till dis evening. "-Harper's Mag

Tired of Her Stable Bow,

A New York letter to the Boston
Herald has the following regarding
Mrs. Morosini Schilling. The moral is
sufficiently obvious: 8
/ hear that the somewhat celebrat
ed love match between Victoria Schil-
ing and her stable husband is not
quite as rosy as it was. Indeed, they
do say that the welded life of the
coachman and his bride is rather more
spirited than affectlonate. Mrs. Schil-
ling looks thin and anxious. She was
plump and rather !ight-hearted when
her runaway marriage occurred. Now
the girls at the Casino are tell
ing that she cries in her dress
ing-room between the scenes on
the stage, and there are rumors that
she is badly treated at home. Her
father, understand, would take her
back to his home if she would get
away from her husband, but she is not
quite ready to do that. She is, how
ever, beginning to think that she has
made a great mistake in life, and to
feel her humiliation keenly. But she
is too full of pluck to acknowledge the
error publicly, SO she grows pale and
thin and goes away by herself to weep.
She now gets $50 week at the CAST
no, and the people in the company
like her and have sympathy for her
apparent distress. She sings we'll
enough and looks well enough to be
sure of earning good living on the
stage as long as she may choose to
stay there.

allowed $125 year for stationary.
The most of this sum is pocketed. The

rhe Famous Eureka Springs.

The Eureka Springs are hidden
among the Ozark mountains, in the
northwestern corner of Arkansas. A
writer for the Boston Traveller says
At Eureka it was my good fortune to
meet Col. Boudinot, whose father was
an Indian chief of the Cherokees, and
in conversation with him be related
the incident that led to the discovery
of the springs. For a long time their
virtues had been known to the In
dians, but they kept the knowledge a
profound secret. 1t was left for the
Yankee mind to discover and APP
propriate their commercial value
An eastern man afflicted with sore eyes
visited the land of the Cherokees, and
one day CHANGED to battle his eyes in
thecooling water ola spring. Itseem-
ed to give him relief, and for several
days the process was repeated. He
found after few weeks of the treat
ment that his eyes were completely
cured. Then followed the Yankee
acuteness. He bottled up the spring
water and sold it to the whites for
miles around His eye-water became
famous, and he realized quite a sum
from its disposal. But finally his
secret was discovered, and the springs
became common property. The affiict-
ed of all kinds focked there, and since
that time there has been continuous
influx of health-seekers.

Leader.
Washington city viii continue to be
the capital OF the United States as
long as the Union lasts. Therailroad
and telegraph have made all parts OF
the country near to each other, and
there is not the reason for a central
capital as in the past. II you will
look over the world you will find that
the great capitals are seldom in the
center OF the populations over which
they govern. London is in corner
of Great Britain, Paris is in the north
of France, Pekin is in the east of China,
Berlin is in the north of the German
Empire, and st. Petersburg is away
off ON one side of Russia. Then there
is too much money invested in Wash
ington, both by politicians and the
people, to ever allow of change of
the capital. The Senators and repre-
sentatives now own private property
in Washington running high into the
millions, and there will always be large
individual interests owned by themen
who control such movements. The
government buildings of Washington
are worth at least 500. 900, 600, and
the parks are worth many millions
more. Then there are the historical
| associations of nearly hundred years
of our government. No, don't think
the capital can ever be moved, and |
don't think it should be.
