NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT,

Corrected from the Nashville american
every Thursday evening.
Business was strong in most quar-
tiers to-day and quotations are un-
changed. Groceries have become a
little more active during the past few
days. Provisions remain dull but
firm. Corn, wheat and hay are ex-
tremely fat. The demand from the
South is very small. Two reasons for
this state Of affairs may be assigned {:
First, that section raised very large
crop last year, and instead Of shipping
II they retained sufficient to supply
their wants; secondly, the cuts in
freight rates by Western roads allow
the dealers In Nebraska and Kansas
to reach the Mississippi River for a
mere song, which enables them to lay
corn down In the South at prices
which our dealers cannot afford.
Seed potatoes are selling very rapid.

WEIGHT AND HEIGHT.

The Proper Proportions of Per-
feet Figure---Sculptors' Meas
urements.
For a woman of 5 feet 5 inches, 1873
pounds is the 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
tip of middle finger just feet inches,
exactly her own height. The length of
her hand should be just one-tenth of
that and her feet just a seventh. and the
diameter of her chest fifth.
From her thighs to the ground she
should measure just what she measures
from the thighs TO the top of the head
The knee should come exactly midway
between the thigh and heel. The dis
tance from the elbow to the middle fin
ger 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 dis
tance between the chin and the armpits.
AwOman of this height should measure
twenty-four Inches about the waist and
thirty-four 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 system of measure
ments which says that the distance twice
around 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 measure used by
sculptors, who have gained them by
measurements of the Greek statues.

a good joke perpetrated by one bright

pupils was asked to tell what he knew
about the Roman Coliseum. The youth
arose and told the class and teacher
that it was built by the Emperor Titus,
son of Vespasian, and that the cement
which held its walls together was moist
ened by the tears of Greek slaves. The
bright boy previously spoken of supple

have passed the first flush of youthful
beauty there is nothing more becoming
than one OF the fashionable tea gowns
worn in room where fire light and
lamp light are both tempered to soften
the appearance of the features and COM

elderly women, and both with excellent
effect.
Soft vet bright colors and bizarre

Dame Fashion.
One of the newest afternoon tea
gowns has recently been imported for
Mrs. Daniel Butterfield, who, it will be
remembered, was the four-times million
aire widow, Mrs. James. The gown is
a study in violet and has at least a
dozen different tintS, from the paleSt OF
lilac to the deepest of purple.
The main material is medium shade
of Parma violet faille silk, embroidered
all over with tiny clusters of white and
lavender wood violetS. 1t is cut with
full Watteau train and Fedora front,
the latter being of lavender surah,
frilled with fine Valenciennes lace,
which is caught up at intervals with
clusters of purple velvet ribbons. The
entire edge of the dress has double
ruching of viOletS made of purple velvet
and dark-green satin and the sleeves are
full and open at the wrist, showing
undersleeveS of rich lace.
A small head-dreSS of white lace and
ViOletS and little pair of violet slippers
complete the costume, and those famil-
lar with Mrs. Butterfeld's graceful fig
ure and aristocratic face can imagine
how well it becomes her.
Miss Mai Bldnchard-Thompson, the
beautiful blonde niece of the Million
aire, George r. Blanchard, has just re-
ceived a number of pretty toilets from
abroad. A particularly becoming house
dress is made of pale blue China silk,
with demi train and full butterfly
drapery.
The bodice is of dark blue velvet, cut
square at the neck in front, with little
full-gathered vest of roSe-pink crepe de
chine and reyerS of the blue silk. The
sleeves are slashed at the elbows and
loops of pink and olive ribbon inserted.
Velvet bodiceS made to show the
throat and the arms to the elbow are
favored by young girls for afternoon
mouse dresses. A handsome dress of
this description was worn few days
ago by Miss Alice Lawrence, who has
exquisite taste in dress. The full plain
skirt of white cashmere had gathered
yoke waist of white surah silk, and
over this was worn a ZoGave jacket of
olive green plush lined with rose pink
and embroidered in gold about the
edges
japanese gowns are worn in the
morning by many ladies. They are so
comfortable and also bright and pretty,
and one can even receive in them in
case of. necessity, although they are
generally kept for the boudoir. Grim
son embroidered in gold and blue with
silver are favorite combinations, and
the cost anywhere from S25 to $500, ac-
cording to the material and amount of
embroidery.
