The South American Cowboy.

The Gaucho shows best when mounted.
Then, indeed, does he confirm to himself the
romantic title of the Centaur of the pampas.
If he be the owner of a large herd, he will
appear in white shirt with wide trousers
well laced, rich poncho over his shoulders,
boots of polished leather with enormous sill
yer spurs jingling at the heels, wide
brimmed hat with fantastic band, and in
one hand rebenque, or cattle whip, made
of cowhide, with handle of massive silver
for his grip.
Such, briefly photographed, is the Gaucho.
He has comrades, of course, whose attire
does not equal his, but by and by they will
become owners-then for the silver spurs
and the embroidered trousers! Like our Co
manches, the Gaucho seems to live on his
horse. He is hardy and sparely built, like
Bedouins of the desert. His pillow is often
his saddle, and his bed covering his ipsepa-
rable poncho or the glittering stars.-T. c.
Harbaugh in st, Louis Republican.

therefore worse than the worst of those con-

stables have been converted into cheap shops

the street is fully of swarthy, unllempt men;
buxom, handsome women with their babies

shy eyed young girls who seem strangely
misplaced, but are altogether at home; and

What Children Should Learn.

Teach young girls and boys less about Ell
quette forms and more about the spirit of
love. Teach them not so much to dance and
pose and receive gracefully, as to be quick to
do q service for any one in trouble or be-
wilderment, alert to lend helping hand,
even if it be to the girl in the Kitchen or the
homeless and hated trarap on the street, and
more mindful of others comfort than their
own. Teach them to despise vulgarity and
low habits and uneleanliness of body OF of
mind; but teach them also that poverty is no
disgrace and that the measure of mans or a
woman's worth lies never in the pocket or the
attire. Anybody can wear fine clothes, but
not so many can earn them honestly or go
without them if beyond their means. The
man or the woman in a shabby coat or cloak
is more royal in the sight Of honest men than
the dude who never pays his tailor's bill, or
the girl who never lifts her lazy hand to earn
her living.
If l had the teaching of 100 blessed girls
today, would drop the languages, and the
classics and the accomplishments from the
list; | would close up the text books and turn
the blackboards' Ethiopian faces to the wall
and give solid years lesson in human nature
How they averaged in Latin should be of not
so much account as how they averaged in
honor and loyalty and heaven born purity.
What marks they made in algebra should
matter little compared to what sweet deeds
Of courtesy and helpful love they scored from
day to day. Their standing in scholarship
should pale into insignifcance before their
standing in the ability to make home happy.

A PHYSICALLY Perfect Woman.

If any woman wishes to know whether she
is perfect specimen of her sex she has only
to apply the rules laid down for ascertaining
the fact and figure on the results. First, as tc
height, tastes differ, but the Medicean Venus
is five feet, five inches in height, and this is
held by many sculptors and artists to be the
most admirable stature for woman. As for
coloring and shape, here is code laid down
by the Arabs, who say that woman should
have these things: Black-hair, eyebrows,
lashes and pupils. White-Skin, teeth and
globe of the eye. Red-Tongue, lips and
checks Round-Head, neck, arms, ankles
and waist. Long-back, fingers, arms and
limbs Large-Forehead eyes and lips. Mar
row-Eyebrows, nose and feet. Small
Ears, bust and hands.
For woman of five feet five, 13S pounds
is the proper weight, and if she be well
formed she can stand another ten pounds
without greatly showing it. When her arms
are extended she should measure from tip of
middle finger to to tip of middle finger Just
five feet five, exactly her own height The
length of her hand should be Just tenth of
that and her foot just a seventh, and the di-
ameter of her chest fifth From her thighs
to the ground she should measure lust what
she measures from the thighs to the top of
the head. The knee should come exactly
midway between the thigh and the heel.
The distance from the elbow to the middle
finger should be the same as the distance
from the elbow to the middle of the chest.
From the top of the head to the chin should
be just the length of the foot, and there
should be the same distance between the chin
and the armpits. A woman of this height
should measure twenty=four inches about the
waist and thirtyfour inches about the bust,
if measured from under the arms, and forty
three if over them. The upper arm should
measure thirteen inches and the wrist six.
The calf of the leg should measure fourteen
and one-half inches, the thigh twenty five
and the ankle eight. There is another sys-
tenn of measurement which says that the dis
lance twice arGand the thumb should go
once around the wrist; twice around the
wrist, once around the throat; twice around
the throat, once around the waist, and so on,
but the first is the measures used by sculptors,
who have gained them by measurements of
the Greek statues. New York World.

Husbands as NuisanceS.

Sometimes the effect Of marriage Is to
transform male exquisite into a sloven,
especially if the cares of poverty and an in
creasing family rest upon his shoulders; or it
may be- that he is by nature solvenly and
easily relapses into that ideal destroying con-
dition when the vanities of youth cease to act
as spur. Husbands of this kind commonly
let their boards grow, neglect to polish the
heels of their boots and develop an irritating
tendency to affect rubbers in all weathers.
Their hats, if not actually shabby, are usually
Anticipated and their trousers, being worn too
short, invariably bag most ugly at the knees,
They wear long overcaats, and either carry
no umbrellas caring nothing for their dingy
old clothes or umbrellas of prodigious cir
conference, of cheap material, and war
rented to turn inside out every time the wind
happens to catch them right.
These men, if living out of town, are al
most sure to hatch a fondness for poultry
and to spend theip Saturday afternoons and
Sunday mornings pettering about hencoops
and watching the strut of their favorite
ROSTERS. They care nothing for society, not
much for the opera or the play, and are
alarmingly prone to fall asleep over their
newspapers in the evening. They usually
prefer a pipe to cigar, and they are mighty
consumers of beer. Even to such base uses
may the married Aan descend, Herald of

An Illustration of home cooperation has

In quiet country home of which l know,
there are nine children (the four youngest,

City conveniences of sewerage, water works
and gas have not yet hghtened household

them, and the delights of woods and dells
and sweet breathed winds and flowers. There
is a vegetable garden to be cared for, and a
COW to be MIXED. The fathers business takes
him from home large part of every week,
SO that more care than is usual falls upon the
mother But what a genius is hers, indeed,
for ordering the household forcesl How
clear headed and wise is she in the manage
ment of her home department.!
Several of the children are physically deli
cate. They vary widely in temperament,
know, they all cheerfully wheel into line, and
the entire family work goes on quietly, regu-
larly, and apparently without friction.
There is no maid in the kitchen, but each
daughter takes her turn in the various de-
partments of work. She serves her appren

The waves were high, the bitter winds were

Yet breathing warm
