As long ago as the days of the Greeks and
Romans a slight eiancee figure was admired,
and stoutness looked upon as deformity.
Martial ridiculed fat women, and Ovid put
large waists in the first rank of his remedies
against love. Several means were tried then,
as now, not only to restrain an expanding
figure, but to enhance the beauties of very
slight one. But they were of a different
kind from those with which we are familiar.
Bandages were worn, with the generic name
of fascie mamillares. These consisted of the
strophium, the cloth worn round the bosom;
the tenta, a similar band below, and the
IONA, or waist belt.
When bandages failed, those who valued
the beauty of their figure had recourse to
remedy prescribed by Seranus Sammonicus.
They enveloped their busts with garlandS of
ivy, which were thrown on the fire as soon
as Withdrawn, and afterward rubbed all the
upper part of their figures either with goose
fat mixed with warm milk or with the egg
of a partridge. Men were as vain as the wo
men, if we are to believe AristophaneS and
other writers. The great comic dramatist
Knocked his contemporary, Cinecias, for
wearing buslzs of linden wood, and Capt.
tolinus, in his biography of the Emperor
Antony, mentions that be also has recourse
to them to compress his swelling figure.
Testimony is conflicting, however. Some
contend that the ancients wore veritable cor
sets, arguing that when Homer, in describing
Juno's toilet when she wished to captivate
Jupiter, speaks of her two girdles, he was
really describing a Greek corset; and that
the egide of Minerva, which Virgil describes,
is to be interpreted in the same manner. But
this view is surely mistaken, for no monu-
ment, no artistic work, no evidence points to
the use of stiff whalebone corscts, as worn

Admiral Farragut, one of our naval heroes,
once related the following incident OF his
childhood:
When I was 10 years old was with my
father on board of a man-of-war. had some
qualities that, l thought, made Il man of me
[ could swear like an old salt, could drink as
stiff glass of grog as if l had doubled Cape
Horn and could smoke like a locomotive. /
was great at cards and fond of gaming il
every shape. At the close Of dinner one day
my father turned everybody out of the cabin,
locked the door and said to me:
David, what do you mean to be-"
AZ mean to follow the sea-
<'Follow the sea! Yes, to be a poor, miser
able drunken sailor before the mast; be
kicked and cuffed about the world, and die in
some fever hospital in a foreign land. No,
David; no boy over trod the quarter deck
with such principles as you have and such
habits as you exhibit You'll have to change
your whole course of life if you ever become
a man"
My father left me and went on deck.
was stunned by the rebuke and overwhelmed
with modification.
"a poor, miserable, drunken sailor before
the mast Be kicked and cuffed about the
world and die in some fever hospital That
Is to be my fate" thought 1. "rll change
my life, and change it at once. I'll never ut,
ter another oath; will never drink another
drop of intoxicating liquor; L will never
gamble have kept these three VOWS ever
since. That act was the turning point in my
destiny.

Sketch of "Boz.

1t is generally believed that Charles Dickens
wove many of the events and experiences Of
his own life into the story of David Copper
field" Mr.. Dickens was a newspaper re-
porter, his first engagement being with The
True Sun and his next with The Morning
Chronicle. His sketches Of life and charao-
ter first appeared in the evening edition Of
the latter paper They were subsequently
collected under the title of Sketches by
Boz" Next came his "Pickwick Papers" In
1871 he visited America. In 1915 he was ap-
pointed principal editor of The Daily News,
a paper of Liberal politics On his retireulen.
from that paper he gave himself up entirely
to the work of writing fiction He conducted
Household WORDS, and subsequently estab-
lished All the Year Round. In lSG7-6S he
visited the United States a second time and
gave public readings from his own works &c
large audiences. He was born at Landport,
Portsmouth, England, in 1872, and died June
9, 1870

TEE EsTHETIC WAsPS.

So the wasp and its family worked day af-
ter day, flying back and forth to their tasseled
home, first making the cells for their eggs and
food, then, all being snug and tight, hurry
ing Off again to have the store rooms well
filled with provisions for the few who would
live until another spring. All through the
summer months sounded their energetic, busy
hum, telling tale OF lots of work to be done
and six short months to do il in! Buzz, buzz,
buzz! Long since the little occupants deserted
their aesthetic home, while the tassel, with
the house still complete, reposes in the South
Kensington Museum of Natural History,
lasting relic of the industry of those aesthetic
wasps.
That this pretty story is true one we have
the assurance of Mr.. NJ. E. Diclman, who
told it first to the youthful readers of St
Nicholas
