Walker IN his well known work on artistic
beauty says the absance of fine arms in wo-
men is due TO long sleeves and want Of exer-
cise. Pumping, sweeping, spanning, throw

all better than tennis or rowing to secure

Hair of Southern womes.

"Why do women have such poor hair now
adaysY" a very acute, observing man often
asks. when I was young the girls used to
have hair they could sit down on, and SO
thick they hardly knew what to do with it.
Now few women seem to have hair to cover
their heads. The partings are broad and
coarse, the hair thin on the temples and be-
hind the ears, so it is unpleasant to look at
the back Of womans head and see the
comb marks left on the scant locks. The
Spanish women and creoles have splendid
hair. Why can't our northern women have
itr'
The briefest answer is that southern women
perspire. Tropic warmth produces free
flowing of all the fluids Of the body, free
throwing off of all effete substance and free
nourishment of every gland and fiber. Con-
sequently we find in tropic women finely
grained skins, continually removed, dis
solved, and kept fresh by the delicate vapor
which invests the body and hair of marvellous
length and thickness. Next to southern
types, the finest compilations and tints OF
hair are found in Irish, Scotch and German
women working in the fields, where moist
atmosphere, coarse food, and sunshine kindly
do more for generous beauty than hard con-
ditions can do against it.-Shirley Dare.

BOYS Should be TouShened.

Prince Albert's father was of opinion that
one Of the most important things in educa-
ton is to teach children to bear pain with
composure He never inflicted pain upon his
sons, but if they suffered from toothache, or
any other bodily Inconvenience, he would not
allow them to complain or cry out. They
were expected to seek the proper remedy, but,
In the meantime, bear it in silence; that is,
without inficting pain upon others.
Prince Albert followed this system in bring
ing up his own children, and his son, the
Prince of Wales, acted upon it also. A guest
at Sandringham was much surprised when
one of the Prince Of Wales children fell
upon an oaken floor with great violence, to
see him get up, rub himself little, and limp
away without assistance or sympathy from
any one, though both the child's parents were
present.
The guest was informed that this was the
rule of the house, the idea being to accustom
the children to endure pain and inconven-
ieace, of which prlac~e and princesses have
IN ample share. There is, in truth, no pro
fessioa in Europe more arduous and e1acting
than that of prince.
Dut We all have to bear an immense amount
0; pain. We ell have to DO many things that
we do not want to do, and to abstain from
doing many things we very much want to
d. This is the human lot, and there is no
rr,s3..I:.iity Of avoiding it. No people suffer
so much as those who rebel against this law
o! our being, and no people suffer SO little as
those who c-eeTfuIy accept it.
The hardening system can be carried too
fer, but surely it Is AZ essential part Of train
ing TO acquire tie power to endure inevitable
pairs with sor:e resolution and dignity.
We heard tie other day Of family OF
so:lu persons. no two of whom could take
;s-e same kind Of drink at breakfast. One
.IGL 70 have coffee; one must have green tea;
,.aotte= would be wretched without black
.el; another kme" no joy in life until she
lad her Chocolate; another compromised
upon Cocoa: tic sixth could only drink milk,
and the seventh water. These people had
cultivated AID I'D their preferences
until they thought their special beverage as
scntial to the prolongation of their lives
Many mothers sst,ulouSly nonrish such
fancies, and soften L.e1r darlings by bestow-
ilG torrents of sympathy upon every bruise
c4d bump. Boys soon acquire the habit OF
e1aggeratiag their nliShaps, and learn how
to get the dainties they delight in by pre-,
tending to loathe the food that is good for
them
Don't give that puppy any meat, says
the dog doctor. 'But he won't eat anything
else" replies the boy.
Then" rejoins the healer Of dogs, "leave
his meal with him til Re does eat it"
AS it is with dogs, sU it is with boys. Fool
ISL fancies depart from boys when they are
so happy as to have keen appetite, and the
boy who knows that no one will pick him up
and kiss him will get up himself and rub his
own head if it is bruised.-You ths Compan-

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST. l. 1888.
SUCCESS NOT EVERYTHING.

The old saying that nothing sue
ceeds like success, has its limitations.
There is an evident tendency nova
DAYS to make it the tOuchstOne of
everything, and principles of action
and policies of government are all
written up or down according as they
rise or fall with this thermometer of
public judgment as to the success or
failure of the same. There is a strong
disposition here in San Antonio to ap-
ply this test to matters political, and
principles are lost sight of or subOrdi-
mated to the one consideration of sue
cess. So long as this is done, just so
long must corruption run riot and the
rule of corrupt men be perpetuated.
To approve that which succeeds is to
endorse the rule of the Tweed ring in
New York, the bOOdlers in Chicago,
the public works committee of Cincin-
natl, and the municipal administra-
ton of this city. All these succeeded
in their day, and the present munich
pal administration of this city has sue
ceeded in perpetuating itself in office,
and in every way defeating the
desire of the business, capital
and brains of this corporation.
The principle Of action, that all must
be approved which succeeds, is most
dangerous one. Evil, at times, stands
on the niche of good and rules the
world alone, but it by no means fol-
lows that the evil is good. There are
republicans i'll BeXar county, today,
good republicans as the world goes
who are prompted solely by the idea
and desire of success in political move
ments irrespective of the principles
involved or the means by which sue
cess is to be assured. That is not
properly speaking a success which is
gained at the expense of consistency
The republican who surrenders the
supremacy of the principles underly-
ing his party for the inferior object OF
the personal success of a candidate
does not succeed even through the
coveted office he gained thereby.
There is a truth, broad as human con-
duct and deep as human experience,
that it becomes all public men to
know and understand, and that is
that the compromises of parties in
which principles are surrendered are
always fatal to those who make them

Where Do Flies Go in Winter?

Some one has asked, "Where do flies
90 in winter 2" This is a question of
some interest, for house fly is born fully
grown and of mature size, and there are
no nc little flies of the same species, the
small ones occasionally observed being
different in kind from the larger ones.
The house fly does not bite or pierce the
skin, but gathers its food by comb or
rake OF brush.like tongue, with which
it is able to scrape the varnish from
covers of books, and thus it tickles the
skin of person upon whom it alights to
feed upon the perspiration. A fly is
scavenger, and is q vehicle by which con-
tacious diseases are spread. 1t poisons
wounds and NAV carry deadly virus from
dccaying organic matter into food. 1t
retires from the sight at the beginning
of the winter, but where it goes few per-
sons know. If n search OF the house be
made they will lie found in great num-
bcrs sccreted in warm places i'll the roof
or between the partitions or floors. Last
winter we had occasion to examine q
roof, and found around the chimney
myriads of flies alternating comfortably
and sufficiently lively to t1y when dis
turbed ''iu overpowerAng Clouds" No,
doubt this is favorite winter resort for
these creatures. .-B0ston Globe.
