To Keep "a Graceful Figure.

Women who wish to preserve the
slimness and contour of their figure,
must begin by learning to stand we'll.
That is explained to mean the throwing
forward and upward of the chest, the
fiattening uf the back, with the shoulder
blades held in their proper places, and
the definite curving in the small of the
back, thus throwing the whole weight OF
the body upon the hips. No other
women hold themselves 80 we'll as the
arietocratic English women. Much of
their beauty lies in their proud carriage,
the delicate directness of their figures,
and the fine poise of their
heads. The same sristocratic car
riage is within the reach of
any girl who takes the pains to have it !;
it is only the question of few years of
eternal vigilance, never relaxing her
watcbfulnees over herself and, sitting or
standing, always preserving her erect
ness and poise, the result being that a.
the end of that time it will have become
second nature to her and che will never
afterwards lose it. This in great meas
ure preserves the figure, because it keeps
the muscles firm and we'll strung, and
prevents the sinking down of the flesh
around the waist and the hips, 80 COM
mon in women over thirty, and which is
perfectly easy to escape. Another thing
to avoid is a habit OF going up stairs,
which most women do, bent forward
with the chest contracted, which as we'll
ae an indolent manner of walking is in
furious to the heart and lungs New

THE WOMEN OF FRANCE.
Before Marriage They Live TIN,
Lives of the RecIuse.

Before Marriage They Live the
Lives of the RecIuse.
The relations of the sexes in France
have been damaged ever since the
French race was formed. Mr. Shackle-
ford, our Consul at Nantes, says that the
enforced separation of the sexes before
marriage works the greatest evil to the
young men. AS they cannot visit the
respectable girls under the jealous Gus
tody of parents and duennas, the youths
60 to the licensed bordels, or pick of the
peasant and working class females, and
thus are made false to the marriages
they subsequently make. An unmar-
red French woman or virgin over 40
years Of age dares not walk in the street
in daytime, lest the tender young thing
would be spoken to by bold man.
She still walks out with duenna and
looks down, as if glances might be her
demolition. l sat before the cafe at the
Hotel de France, looking at the old
French duennas accompanying the
Frence old maids across the square-tit-
tering things, with low. quartered ehoes,
W would not now recognize a hus-
bands tones, 80 battered have they be-
come in preparation, 30 low the oil in
their virgin lamps-foelish, unnatural
virgins, who faint at the cry, Behold
the bridegroom cometh." That is to say,
they faint on false claims, for he does not
mean to come. Family suspicion, the
result of the false-hesrtedness OF French
marriage, regards the heart of man and
woman not to be trusted. Hence, they
do not meet with the freedom of inno-
cence. The girls, kept in dungeon, at
the time they dream of keeping house"
like other children, marry any man pre-
sented, that they may get out of Jail
then they regard the marriage as not
binding on the heart or the habits. The
constraint of sys ems poisons nature at
the fountain love is the mighty tide of
life, bearing on its bosom the passion
and destiny Of species, and false is the
man or king to nature and her sway who
reduces it's power for good.-[Gath's

DIVORCE IN EARLY IRELAND.
The Heather La ws Were Favorable
to the Weaker Sex.

10 the weaker sex
Divorce was easy under the old law,
and the wife took back with her the
"tindscra." or marriage portion given by
her parents, as we'll as the "coibche," or
reward for her virginity, received from
the husband. Here are some of the rea-
sons which might be alleged by quick
tempered or a frail woman as cause
for separation: Refusal of her
rights in domestic matters, mis-.
conduct of her husband with other
women, abandonment, public charge
of infidelity, ridicule from her husband !,
a mark on her person showing maltreat-
ment. If love potion had been ad-
ministered it might be cited as cause
for leaving the man who gave it. In
fine, divorce in heathen Ireland was 30
easy, and the laws were 30 favorable to
the weaker sex, that the man who
"caught tartar" must have had every
chance of continuing to regret.
Yet the lateness OF date at which we
end women fighting in battles is
surprising. One of the glories of
the church in Ireland was law passed
by the efforts of st. Adamnan,
about A. D. 800, putting stop to the
employment of women in war. The
legend runs that he was once carrying
his mother on his back near battle
when a woman was seen to thrust a
sickle into the breast of another and drag
her off the field. Adamnan's mother
bade him put her down, and refused to
be carried farther until he should swear
to free woman from such services. This
he promised, and at the next grand as
sembly obtained a passage of the law

The Students Got Even.

1t is told in Boston that party of
Harvard students, anxious to get even
with the Boston police for some I'M
doubtedly good reason, bought bar
ber's pole, got receipt, and started
through the streets, bearing their prop
erty. OF course they were soon stopped
by policeman. ''Hello, there, what
yer dom 18th that pole?" ''That's our
business. "Oh, is it? Well, you come
along 18th me-" So he marched them to
the police station. ''What's the trouble,
otficer2'' asked the sergeant. "Stealin'
a BARRIERS pole" Then the policemen
gave detailed account of the crime and
the arrest of the criminals, who were
about to be sent to their dungeon cells.
when one of them handed the sergeant
the receipt. "Officer, you may return
to your beat, said the sergeant, and the
students filed out, bearing the pole
proudly. Two blocks away another
policeman stopped them. Then followed
the same dialogue, another arrest, and
the same scene at the station. And so
it went on until the young men had
been arrested six times. They might
have been arrested twelve times had not
u general notice been sent out to the
police not to modest the party of young
men parading about Boston bearing

Spanish Flies.

The powder of Spanish flies, another
name for cantharides, is chiefly used for
blistering. The flies abound in Spain,
Italy, the south of France, Hungary
and Russia. They usually make their
appearance in swarms upon the trees in
May and June, when they are collected.
Persons with their faces and hands pro-
tected shake the trees, and the insects
are received as they fall upon linen
cloths. They are then plunged into
weak vinegar until deprived of life, and
next dried and packed into boxes or
casks lined with paper ready for ship
ment The Russian flies are distin-
guished for their greater size, and their
color approaches to that of copper.
Authorizations are not common. Occa-
other insects are added, pur-
posely, or through carelessness, but they
may be readily distinguished by their
different shape or color. They should
never be purchased in powder, for in
that state they may be more easily adul-
terated; but if so obtained, they should
be kept in air-tight vessels. The better
way is to have them powdered as they
are wanted for use Some call them
