A Perfect Specimen,

II any woman wishes to know
whether she is perfect specimen of
her sex she has only to apply the
rules laid down for ascetaining the
fact and figure on the results. First
as to height, tastes differ, but the Med
icean Venus is feet inches in height
and this is held by many sculptors
and artists to be most admirable stat
ne for a woman. As for coloring
and shape, here is the code laid down
by the Arabs, who say that a woman
should have these things: Black
Hair, eyebrows, lashes and pupils,
Whitc-Skin, teeth and globe of the
eye. Red-Tongue, lips and cheeks.
Round Head, neck, arms, ankles
and waist Long-Back, fingers,
arms and limbs. Large-Forehead,
eyes and lips. Narrow-Eye-brow,
nose and feet. Small-Ears, bust
and hands.
For woman offs feet 5, 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 arc extended she
should measure from tip of middle
finger to tip of middle finger just 5
feet 3, exactly her own height. The
length of her hand should be inst u
tenth ofthat, and her foot just sew
en,h, and the diameter of her chest a
fifth. From her thighs to the ground

As to the Prospects for 1888 Yves
tern Leaf.

The growers of White Burley will
reap a golden" harvest in the 1887
crop but we think the growers Of
Dark Tobacco-that is the better
types-will reap the golden" harvest
next year, unless there is a radical
change in the temperament of Yves
tern growers before the 1883 crop is
set out. AT present well developed
mania is raging for White Burley,
not only in the regular White Bur-
ley sections, but also in tie Dark Sec
tons, and the way seed is being
bought and distributed there promises
to be almost as much White Burley
planted in the Dark producing as in
the White Burley districts, but
whether White Burnley will be gath
cred in the Dark district is another
question. We think much of it will
only be that in name, but yet it will,
if present promises are fulfilled, so
operate to dOpress prices for this type
that there will be many regretful
planters in both The Dark and White
Burley sections.
On the other hand the prospects
are that the growth of Dark types in
the West will be SO moderate that the
producer of good crops can expect
the very best prices obtained for years,
for these reasons. 1t is acknowledged
that but very moderate quantity of
the 1887 crop will exported, and
while stock abroad is apparently

manufactures, and the foreign trade
are SO accustomed to terrifying them
selves with large stocks, and SO con-
sentative, that any radical reduction
in the supply would induce them TO
purchase literally, and there can be
no doubt but what there will be a
radical reduction in stocks abroad

be ready for export, as the wants of
the English trade, owing TO the re-
striction in moisture in manufactured
Tobacco, will show Il substantial in
crease, and Germany and the Regies
will also want increased amounts.
With these considerations aud the
prospect of waiting until 1890, at
least, for supply sufficient to keep
stocks up to the usual limit, espec-
tally the most desirable grades, which
will not be exported from the United
States unless largely advance prices
are offered, there is every prospect
that the foreign trade will soon see
the necessity ofadvancing their ideas

sands of C%licagoians are blessing the day
when Charles j. Yerkes. the Philadel-

abode in Chicago and commenced To de-
vote himself to its interests. Precisely at
noon today amid enthusiastic cheers from
Il distinguished gathering and waving of
handkerchiefs by the ladies the great
North Side cable system. to the develop
ment of which he has devoted several
years, was successfully l%naugurntcd by
the departure of the initial car from the
North Side barns, and this afternoon The
entire system is in full running order
Difficulties have been encountered in the
task which would have appalled, many
earnest men, but they were sllmountea
by the Ycrkcs inlomitablc spirit and the
northern section of the city has today the
finest cable system in the world-iiftcen
miles in length, equipped Will, cars of
elaborate construction and containing all
the latest improvements. The speed will
vary from six TO eight miles per hour.
Work on the cable has been in progress
eighteen months and the cost runs into
the millions. Lincoln Park on the eX.

the south are now brought into a few
minutes connection with each other, and
the successful completion of the enter.
prise is regarded as the greatest boon
conferred upon the city in the last quar-

in mourning today as q tribute to the
memory of the late Chief Justice Waite.
The special train bringing the remains

mittcc, and Representatives Tompkins.
Griffin, Whittlescy, Kitchen. Hartpencc,
Rawlins. Dcllcville, Gill and Meredith in

alton. Produce Exchange, City Council,
and Citizens assocsation. The solemn

The Reds.

HELENA, NJ. T., March 2s.-A few days ago
word was received that the settlers north of
Flathead lake had discovered the murder of
three white men committed last summer 10y
koOtcnai Indians, and had armed themselves
to go in search Of and punish the murdcrcrs.
1t would seem that they had accomplished
their purpose, for a letter containing the fol
lowing extract Was received from . resident
Of that section Saturday:
"Hcrc We are, all up at q. II. Lakin's on
account of tho Kootenai scare. All the fami-
lies from Elliott's down, except Henry Bart
lctt's, arc here. Those above Elliott's, OF
this side, have gone to the Sheldon schoo
house. Those on the east side have retired
to Ashley. The trouble arose from the lynch
ing Of two Indian murdercrs at Pcnnis mills.
Though nothing definite has been learned, ii
is understood that tho Koctcnais have taken
the war path. A squad of men from Selfish is
guarding the Point of Rocks. Another from
our own party is guarding tho Los Ferry, and
we are seeing to the Big Forks forts. Don't
be worried, for we do not anticipate serious
trouble"
Nothing has been heard from that section
since then, and 1t is presumed there hare
been no active hostilitics. Still the Kootcnais
are a rcvcngcful tribe, and If provoked would
scarcely be above taking a few white scalps II
opportunity offered.

Rivers and

WARRINGTON, March e6.-The river
and harbor bill was reported to the house
today. 1t Is understood that the rivers
and harbors worthy of improvement have
been fairly dealt with. 1t is said that
Duluth gets $50, 600 for the improvement
of the harbor, Agate buy SD, 600 and
and Grand Marais SIS. 900. The appro.
priation given for tbe-upper Mississippi
could not be ascertaincd, but the Mime
sofa delegation is of the opinion that ut
least $4,000 will be given to establish
the telegraph lines wanted from Braincrd
to the reservoir. Col. Crook, who has
been here for some time, has made an
effort to get m appropriation of 81. GOO
for the lands damaged by overlooking
Pokegema at the head waters of the Miss
issippi. The chief of engineers makes
these estimates for damages:
Two hundred acres at $40 per acre,
$1,000: 24ss acres ut 81 per acre, 1888; ex-
pcnscs of condemnation. $500; 10 per
cent. for contingencies, 1878; total, 81, 1851.
1t is shown that the state has already
given up the lands which it owns for res
ervoirs, and that these lands are not the
property of private parties. Col. Crooks
said it is better that they should be paid
for now than to wait a few years and
have an enormous bill brought against
the government for these damages. These
lands are mostly hay lands, none of them
fit for agricultural purposes. Col. Crooks
has prepared the following amendment,
which was submitted to the committee by
Mr.. Nelson today:
That it shall be the duty of the secrc.
airy of war to prescribe such rules and
regulations in respect to the use and adj.
ministration of the reservoirs at the head
waters of tho mississippi, in Minnesota, ms
in his judgment public necessity may re
quire. These regulations shall be posted
in some CONSPICUOUS place for the inform
alton of the public. Any person know.
ingly and wilfully violating such rules AM
regulations shall be liable TO IA fine not Il
exceed $500 or Imprisonment not exceed
ing six months.
The provision was incorporated in til,
