DIVORCES IN EUROPE.
They Have More Than Doubled Within
the Past Twenty Years.

They Have More Than Doubled Within
the Past Twenty Years.
The advance in the printing of
Colonel Wright's report on Divorce in
the United States" has reached the
point where the tables of divorce in
Europe are to be had, and DR.. S. w.
Dixie has so tar studied its statistical
tables that a summary of facts is posi-
BILE. He reports that divorces have
doubled, or more than doubled, in the
twenty years or less period, in the
United States, Canada, all Great
Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands,
Baden, Saxony, Hamburg, Norway and
Alsace-Lorraine. They are gaining in
Russia, Roumania, Denmark and
Venice, but the gain in Europe, with
four or five times the population Of the
United States. is much slower than it
is in this country. Divorces in the
United States increased from 1887 in
1867 to %, $50 in 1885,
The total divorces and separations
reported in these tables in Europe in
1886, including those for Russia,
reached $4,000. The certainty of the
movement on both sides of the Atlantic
is to be noted. 1t is also to be OBJ
served that it advances among people
of every religion, race, and political or
other social condition. When it is
considered that the traditional view
of marriage in Europe is that of the
Roman Catholic church, which does
not allow divorces, it will be seen that,
allowing for the difference in the con-
ditions, the movement Of divorce is
very nearly uniform, both in the older
civilization oand its newer develop
meuts This indicates that something
is profoundly out of joint in the or
ganization of society, when the family,
which should always be the most con-
servatiye element in society, may be
said toFbe in the process Of dissolution
in the most civilized parts OF the
world.-Boston Herald.

THE FEMALE BUST.
Breadth OF Shoulders should Correspond
to the Breadth of Hips.

to the Breadth of Hips.
A lady correspondent writes: II
have had an argument with a lady
about the size of a grown females bust.
She says that the difference in the size
between the waist and under the arms
should be ten inches. l think four or
five inches at the outside measure. p
S.-The natural size is what is wanted,
and not one distorted with corsets or
squeezing.
In order to decide this question two
women physicians have been consulted
on the subject. Mrs. Mary Putnam
jacob says:
''There is no fixed proportion be-
tween the size OF the bust and the size
of the waist. Still less can there be
any fixed measurement for either waist
or bust, seeing that this must vary
with the height of the individual and
with other circumstances. The most
general rule about the typical female
figure is that the breadth Of the Shout
ders should correspond to the breadth
of the hips. while in the man the
shoulders are much broader than the
hips. The size of the waist varies not
only with the expansion of the lower
part of the chest, but also with the
development of the muscles and the
amount of fat upon them.
"The test of tight lacing is not the
absolute size of the waist, but the
degree Of compression of the soft parts
needed in order to allow the corset or
dress to fasten. When there is no COM
preston the corset should fasten easily
in the middle. But, naturally, the
corset can not be fastened in the middle
until the top has been fastened. 1t is
then always too tight.
"Undeveloped chests and waists are
not always due to compression OF
clothing, but to lack of systematic de-
velopment by gymnastics during the
growing period-that is, from ten t.
eighteen. 1t is precisely then tha
corsets are most dangerous and pre-
cisely then that mothers apply them t.
form and figure If not worn before
twenty-five corsets may be worn after
ward with impunity."
DR.. Mary E. Gage said that her at
tention had never been called to the
point in question, as the proportional,
size of woman measured under he
arms and around her waist had nothing
to do with her health.
"But," said she, II should give a!
my opinion that ten inches is nearer
the proportionate difference than fou
or FIVE"
Then, to prove If she was right sh
kindly took the trouble to measur,
four women on the spot. In two in
stances there was q difference of eigh
inches between the waist and the bus
measure. In the third there was min
and in the fourth ten. All of tn
women were well-proportioned. After
ward the measurement of woma
was taken who had never worn corse
in her life, and the difference betwee
the two points was barely six inche;
DIR. Gage brought up an argumer
in favor Of her own decision that tn
ready-made waists sold to woman {
ordinary size were shaped in exac
proportion to that she had named
that is, ten inches difference betwee
the bust measure and the waist.-N

Longevity Due to Taking Good Care OF
the Body.
Mr.. Gladstone is now living in the
full vigor of his power, at the age of
eighty. John 6. Whittier is writing
as good poetry as ever at eighty-two.
Oliver Wendell Holmes is but little
younger, and is still as effervescent
and spontaneous as schoolboy.
George Bancroft, the historian, is over
ninety years of age, and still engages
in literary work. Simon Cameron,
who was in Lincoln's Cabinet, is over
ninety, and has recently recovered
from a sickness that would test the
vitality of young fellow of thirty.
NJ. Chevreul, the French astronomer,
does not neglect his daily routine be-
cause he is over one hundred.
We have quite lately seen the
spectacle of Sidney Bartlett vigorously
practicing law at the Boston bar at
ninety. Every one remembers the
vigor with which the late German En-
peror William reigned over his king
dom at ninety-one. Seth Perkins re-
