A Physically Perfect woman.

If any woman wishes to know whether she
u a 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 to
height, tastes differ, but the Medicean Venus
is five feet, five inches in height, and this is
held by many scul ptorS and artists to be the
most admirable stature for woman. AS for
coloring and shape, here is a code laid down
by the Arabs, who say that woman should
have these things: Black-har, eyebrows,
lashes and pupils. White-Siin, 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 q 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 a 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
Oe 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 twcnty-fOur inches about the
waist and thnty!Our inches about tho 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 measureIuent which says that tho dis
lance twice arCdnd 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
Che Greek statues New York World.

a word about nervous children. Nevei'
scold them nor make fun of them. They
suffer enough without your threats or sar-
casm. Pretend not to see their awkwardness
when in company nor their grimaces when
alone. a case was reported the other day of
n boy Of 10 years who, on being vexed, and
without any apparent provocation, will
clench his hands and make the most fright
full contortions of the muscles of his face and
head till his mother fears he is idiotic. By
no means. He is the brightest boy in his
class at school, fond of reading and of natu-
raj history, but he is of highly nervous
temperament, and has not been taught to
control the little wires, SO to speak, on which
be is strung.
This is no single case. There are thousands
Of children who give way to their nerves in
similar fashion. Talk to them about these
curious little fellows that should he their
servants, not their masters. Never whip
them. The man or woman who whips n ncr-
vous child is on a level with brutes that have
40 reason. Encourage them. Help them.
BE patient with them. They are the making
Of our future successful men and women, for
they will work hard at whatever they under
take. Brace up your own nerves FIRST and
then be indulgent toward the caporS Of your

A Point on Dress.

Finally the best wine came last; the best
speaker was the handsomest and most at
tractive woman, and if l could tell her mama
you'd all recognize her as q notable social
leader She said that she had just one little
story to tell apropos of the discussion ON
dress
"In teaching my class at Five Points" she
said, 81 used to always try to dress plainly,
and finally one day had to go to friends
from the mission, and had TO put on visit
ing toilet. | was troubled about it, but did
not see any way out of the difficulty, so de-
termined to go on and forget about 1t as well
as l could. We'll, as l was talking to the
class poor woman near me kept smoothing
down the velvet of my skirt; all the time
she kept it up, touching it softly. After the
regular session was over / asked those that
wanted to speak to Inc to wait, as | always
do. The woman stayed, not saying any
thing but going on softly smoothing the vel
vet, DO you like my gown | said.
Sure, ma'am we poor folks don't see
anything so soft down here, and touchin' it
has made me feel quieter than anything you
said
"Since that I've made point of dressing
handsomely when | went to Five Points.

sion on dress. New York Graphic.

Courage, Weary Mother.

Just such "trincs.n Who can do a greater
work than these-care for a child and look
after the interests of home. She who with
patient mother love prepares human soul

for both God and man. The first years Of
child's life must, Of necessity, be devoted to
the care Of the body, but the body should be

immortal soul. Taking care of the baby is
surely no trihe when viewed in this light.

What Children Should Learn.

Teach young girls and boys less about Ell
quette forms and moro about the spirit of
love. Teach them not so much to dance and
pose and receive gracefully, rs to be quick to
do n service for any one in trouble or be-
wildcrncnt, alert TO lend helping hand,
oven II it be TO the girl in the Kitchen or the
homeless and hated tramp on the street, and
more mindful of others comfort than their
own. Teach them TO despise vulgarity and
low habits and uncleanliness of body or of
mind, but teach them also that poverty is no
disgrace ard that the measure of a mans or a
womans worth lies never in the pocket or the
attire Anybody can wear fine clothes, but
not 30 many can earn them honestly or 90
without them if beyond their means Tho
man or the woman in q shabby coat or cloak
Is moro royal in the sight of honest men than
the dude who never pays his tailors bill, or
the girl who never lifts her lazy hand TO earn
her living.
If had the teaching of 100 blessed girls
today, would drop the languages, and the
classics and tho accomplishments from the
list; ] would close up the text books and turn
the blackboards Ethiopian faces to the wall
and give IA 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 scorTM from
day to dav. Their standing in scholarship
should pale into isi8nilicancc before their
standing in the ability to make home happy.

Our cut demonstrates the wel-Enown fact
that with skill and patience the docility
rs well as agility of cats can I've developed 10
a remarkable degree. The tight rope per-
Torrance shown in the illustration took place
not long ago in a Paris cat show. The cats
walked across the rope, carrying their natural
prey of mice and birds on their heads and
backs, as well as carefully stepping over these
objects on their way, not once Offering to
hurt or even touch them. 1t ought to be
explained that the white mice used on this
occasion, as well as the little canarieS had
been previously trained to sit quite still dur
ing the performance.
The third cat in the illustration shows ac-
quired courage in a usually tnid aumal.
The trainer holds a wire hoop with burning
tow wrapped around it. At given signal
the cat, true to her training takes a short
run and jumps boldly through the blazing

The domestic cat has always been credited
with large share of intelligence, but there
is perhaps no animal which so soon loses its
cultivation, Neglect Of proper feeding or
attention will often cause them to depend on
their own resources, and the tasting of some
wild and living food will tempt them TO seek

Many superstitions have been connected
one time and another with the man in the
moon. a well known German story tells
about the man who cut sticks on the Sabbath
and was caught up in the moon, fagOts and
all, and there stands to this day. A Dutch
household myth accused the man in the
moon of stealing cabbagos on Christmas
eve. The neighbors caught him just as he
was walking Off with good supply, and
they "wishcd' him up i'll the moon. He
stands there to this day, bearing his load of
cahbages
Northern mythology tells about giant
who inhabts the moon, and is supposed TO
cause the obb and aow of the tide. When
he stoops the water flows, and when he stands
erect the water subsidies again.
In Africa tho man in the moon is supposed
to have incurred the wrath of the sun, and is
in punishment carved by tho knife that is,
by the rays of the latter. This continue
until the whole of the moon is cut away and
only Il little piece left. Tho moon implores
the sun to have pity on him, and leave this
morsel for his children. The sun grants his
request, and the moon grows from the little
piece until at last it is a full moon Then the
sun hegins carving again.

A Physically Perfect Woman-Nhat Chill
dren should Loarn-A Lazy Husband.
A Point on Drcss-EducationaI Hints.
Comfort for Wivcs-Itcms.
An illustration of home cooperation has
recently come under my observation, which
has interested me, especially since it illus
trates the possibilities of the many homes as
contrasted with the exceptional opportuni-
ties of the few.
In quiet country home of which | know,
there are nine children the four youngest,
boys. Their ages range from l to u years.
City convenienCes Of sewerage, water works
and gas have not yet lightoncl household
work, but there are broad fields all about
them, and the delights of woods and dclls
and sweet breathed winds and flowers There
Is II vegetable garden to be cared for and
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 n genius is hers, indeed,
for ordering tho household forcesl How
clear headed and wise is she in the marage-
ment of her home department.
Several of the children are physically deli
cate. They vary widely in temperament,
and 50 many children must; but, so far as
know, they all cheerfully wheel into line, and
the entire family work goes on quietly, regu-
larly, and apparently without Fiction.
There is no maid in the kitchen, but each
daughter takes her turn in the various de-
partments of work. She serves her appren-
ticeship as cook, or chambermaid, or seam
stress, and is left after proper start therein,
TO the unassisted conduct of her then depart
ment, learning from occasional failure how
TO the better plan and execute next time
Since there are only "themselves" all can
bear with equanimity the sometime DISPENSE
tion Of an overdone roast or an underdone
omelet, and if the wick of the "evening
lamp" smokes ominously at one corner,
Jessie or Alice or Arthur will be pretty sure
to trim it straight the next morning.
Even the very little ones feel their response

the sweeping of the verandas and the bring

the vegetables. On Mondays the work Of

wearisome for any. There are two clothe,
wringers, at which the larger boys oflcate
One sister attends to the first washing
another to the rinsing, etc. The care of the
lamp falls to one little girl, and so on. Then
the mother has a sewing school, whore even
the boys are enthusiastic learners The baby
constitutes divided right. l suspect that
many hands have the holding of him, but as
he has been a feeble child he has chiefly
fallen to his mothers tending. In this
family there are pleasant literary plans and
readings. Music and art do not have the go
by, either. In short, it is a well ordered re-
public, with no superfiuous citizens Re
