Women and Corsets.

In order to ascertain the influence of
tight clothing upon the action of the heart
during exercise, dozen young women con-
sented this summer to run $40 yards in
their loose gymnasium garments, and then
to run the same distance with corsets on.
The running time was two minutes and
thirty seconds for each person at each trial,
and in order that there should be no car
diac excitement or depression following
the first test, the second trial was made the
following day. Before beginning the run
ming the average heart impulse was eighty
four beats to the minute; after running the
above-named distance the heart impulse
was l52 beats to the minute, the average
natural waist girth being twenty-five
inches.
The next day corsets were worn during
the exercise, and the average girth of waist
was reduced to "a inches. Thesa distance
was run in the same time by all, and imme-
diately afterward the average heart i'm
pulse was found to be les beats per min
ute. When | state that | should feel my
self justified in advising an athlete not to
enter running or rowing race whose
heart impulse was 100 beats per minute
after little exercise, even though there
were not the slightest evidence OF
disease, one can form some idea OF
the wear and tear on this important
organ, and the physiological loss entailed
Gpon the system in women who force il to
labor for over half their lives under such a
disadvantage as the tight corset imposes

superfuous Knowledge.

There Is really an amazingly wide diff
ference between what passes currently for
knowledge, and educational schemes are
apt to be valuable or worthless in direct
proportion to the extent to which they
take this fact into account. Whoever has
considered the subject must have been
struck with the vast amount of material
which goes to make up our curriculums
which is the most worthless of rubbish
from an educational standpoint, and
which were better eliminated There are
few branches taught in our schools to-day
which could not advantageously be weeded
pretty extensively, and in not few in
stances ii would be found, after the weed
ing was done, that not great deal re-
manned.
The commonest forms of superfuities in
the branches commonly pursued is that OF
details, which would be of some value if
the study were carried far enough, but
which are absolutely valueless as it is.
The names and places of the consultations
are useful and valuable as matter of ce-
lestial geography to those who follow the
study far enough really to need such aids
in locating the heavenly bodies, but OF
what earthly use, interest or value is it
to the ordinary scholar. Beyond gen.
eral knowledge of the halfa-dozen con-
stellations which have by name place in
literature, the pupil does not even derive
any satisfaction, even the most superficial,
from the laboriously-learned and easily
forgotten string of names which makes up
so large portion of the contents of most
textbooks on astronomy.
The student who passes days, weeks and
months in that busy idleness known as
Analysing" flowers has doubtless given
the time to pleasant and strictly moral
form of amusement, but the mind would
have been as well exercised, the results
would have been as valuable, and the pro-
cess quite as pleasant and moral had the
same labor been expended in solving the
enigmas and riddles Of the puzzle depart
ment of juvenile magazine The chief
difference would be that in one case the
learner might feel the distate arising from
a forced task, and in that case the odds
would be in favor of the ridde-guessing,
wherein the mind would act freely and
spontaneously.
The principle Of modern education is APP
parently 10 take the least possible quantity
of knowledge, mix it with the largest pos
sible quantity of superhuous matter, and
then force it into the students brain BY
| machinery. Of course that the informa-
ton actually acquired in given branch
of study is not to be put to practical use is
not in itself proof that the course pursued
is useless, since the mental training and dis
cipline gained may be the end sought
Cut this applies only 10 reasoning pro
cesses and not to the dry accumulation OF
facts, the committing to memory of more
or less elaborate trihes which have no sig
niticance or use to the mind In the end
the mind retains only the significant, but
why should it waste so much valuable time
and strength in acquiring the superfuous

disguised statesmen of the United States
were made acquainted with the following
proclamation, issued from Belize:
OFFICE OF THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,
BELIZE July II, lS52-
This is to give notice that Her Most Gracious
Majesty. our Queen, has been pleased to consti-
tute and make the islands of Ruaran, Bonacca,
Utila, Barbarat, Helena and Morat, TO be col
ony, to be known as .'The Colony OF the Bay
Islands,
BY command of Her Majesty's superintendent
AUGUSTUS FREDERICK Goss
Coloni. i Secretary
God save the Queeni
All Americans are sufficiently familiar
with the rest, SO we need not go farther
into the history and results of that ridicu-
lous farce-the ulwer-Clayton business.
As for Ruatan-or "Rattan Island" as it
is now more commonly called-it is thirty
miles long by about nine miles broad. The
whole group, comprising the Bay of
Islands, has a fine climate and most pro-
life soil. Their estimated population is
about 1000, of which number scarcely 200
are whites, half of these being Spaniards,
principally emigrants from Caymano.

SPRING FANCiEs.

THE YOUNG MAN.
In the spring the youth his person in the latest
fashions decks,
And begins to cast admiring glances on the other
sex;
In the spring q nameless yeaIning something
that he cannot trace,
Comes upon him when he meets maiden with
pretty ia
And the futlering of ribbon, or the perfume Of
glove,
Thrills his pulses, and his " fancy lightly turns
to thoughts OF love"
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1889-03-09

Soon some strange, mysterious recess brings
together youth and maid
There are meetings in the moonlight there are
whisperings in the shade,
Wanderings in secluded places, often till the
hour is late,
Loving glances, sweet confessions stolen kisses
at the gate
Petty ouarrels, over nothing, that with misery
fills LIES cup,
Pride's surrender, explanations and delicious
making up.
When the tender grass is sprinsing and the open
ing buds appear,
when the birds are gayly singing, and the skies
are blue and clear,
Thus its course in spring love runneth, culmi-
mating in May,
With parental blessings and the naming of the
wedding day. -B0St0a Courier.

THE YOUNG WOMAN.

In the spring the maiden dofis the glossy seal
skin sacque she wore,
Which enables her to don a bigger hustle than
before.
Thea sne puts on lighter garments snowy laces,
ribbons gay,
And a gorgeous hat the climax caps of her new
spring array
All the secrets of the toilet uses with woman 5
skill,
For her heart, too, is responsive to the seasons
magic thrill.

FOR A DAINTY BED.

For those who like dainty bed aud
who desire the upper sheet TO harmonic
with the embroidered or lace-trimmed
pillow slips comes what is known as the
sham sheet. 1t is ten quarters wide and
four to five quarters long. 1t is trimmed
only on one of the two long sides, the other
plain. Like the pillow-slips, they may be
edged with lace or Hamburg edgiDg, be
hemstitched or scalloped out with button
hole stitch, or be decorated with border
of drawn-work, of fine tucks, of insertion,
of heavy brier-stitching, or a combination
of all of them. These are invariably
marked with monogram or the three
initials in the middle, just above the
trimming. They are usually pinned or
basted to the upper side of the white
spread, and turned back upon it. While
they are an Improvement to any bed, they
impart an air of luxury to the sick-bed,
and are source of pleasure and satisfac-
ton to the invalid.
While the embroidered bed sets are not
necessary to the trousseau, they are GER
tainly desirable, and three sets might well
be provided. A dainty trimming for such
a set, and one comparatively inexpensive,
is scalloped edge, from under which
projects linen lace, and two rows of brier-
stitching worked in heavy crochet cotton.
The lace, which was about two and a half
inches wide, had been basted without full
ness on the under side of the scallops, on a
line just below their inner points. The
scallops were then worked through both
linen Tor muslin) and lace. The linen
was then carefully cut away from the seal
lops without injury to the lace, as was also
the selvage of the latter where it still
showed beneath the scallops on their inner
curve. When finished it was hard TO tell
how The LACE had been put on. When
pillow cases are used which have open
work insertion, it is advisable to cover the
lower half of the pillow with white, blue
or pink siIesin. in order to hide the stripes
of the ticking Pillow shams and their
accompanying cross-piecss are marked
with monogram or the initial of the last
name, worked in a large ornamental letter.
GOWNS AND UNDERcLoTHING.

least six sets Of underclothing, the set COM
prising nightgown, chemise, drawers and

ment for such building, it can be built: If
they are not SO disposed it cant be built : not
at least within the next five or eight years,

fairs to raise u sufficient amount to constitute
margin on which the balance of the cost OF
the building could be borrowed. There seems
to be an idea abroad that the building should
not be erected unless payment therefor could

CONVENTION NoTEs.-We were pressed
for both time aad space last week and were
only able to give the real work Of the con-
vcnlon and that not as fully as we could
have wished There were several features
of the meeting deserving of mention, even at
this late date The attendance of our home
people was notably large and save an occas-
ional buzz of conversation in the gallery or
at the doors, most marked attention was
given to the proceedings.
On Tuesday the Emmtsburg railroad sent
its train through to this place twice, each
time bringing number of people. At the
meeting ON Tuesday evening some failed to
get within the church the number however
was not large
The lunch spread for the visitors in the
Sunday School room at noon on Tuesday
and Wednesday, occasloned some very pleas
ant not to say ilattering comments on the part
of the visitors: it wus elaborate and bounti-
full.
Many of our citizens who owned carriages
treated tho visitors to Il drive about our town
and gave them glimpse of our rugged noun
tain scenery.
The president of the convention, Mrs. w.
II James, aided in organizing a young pco.
PIES mission band after the adjournment on
Wednesday.
AS to the business methods of the convcn-
tion, they arrived at their conclusions with
a charming dircctness and their discussions
/ were utterly devoid unpleasant personalities
There were number present who could talk
and talk well, vet there was as little talk
for talk s sake as we haye ever known in a
deibcrative body. When order was needed
and called tor, it came: they knew what they
wanted to do and did it, not single motion
to reconsider was made during the conven-
ton. One or two decidedly pathetic Incl
dents occurred but they only gave proof if
that were needed, of the warmth of wom-
ans sympathy. A woman's convention
without few tears would indeed be an an.
omaly. Several Of the original papers were
masterpieces Of searching analysis, close log
ical reasoning and pure, chaste language the
one by Mrs. Rev. DR.. George Scholl, subject
"Work among the Young being peculiarly
entertaining, through it's epigrammatic style
and the calm, deliberate reading.
