Athletics and SensuaIism.

IL have given up all interest, said an
intelligent woman recently, "in the
movement for the SO called physical cul
ture of women. 1t is not that do not
believe most heartily in the full and
symmetrical development of the body
powers, but the whole cult is being per
verted to sensualism. The beauty teach
ers are devoting themselves, not to
wholesome training for health, but to
making visions of loveiness, with di-
rect regard to their effect on the other
sex, and after as frank methods as coull
ever have been employed in fitting Cir
cas5ians for the harem. A woman's
first interest in physical culture is to fill
out her neck SO that she may look better
in decolette gown. It's all in line
with the manicure business which is
making very ornamental but worse than
useless hands! 1t all goes with our
heaps of cushions and shaded hts and
refinement of perfumes. It's the de-
velopment of curves and the study of
poses and the absolute deitication of
dainty sensualism. 1t would be good
plan to let in on the business little
wholesome sunshine and fresh air. "

ETCHINGS:
AN ENTHUSIAST.

"A millionaire" replied the wretched

"Are you crazy?" asked the doctor.

"What!" exclaimed the astonished
physician, "you are the man upon whom

Yes, l am he, " responded the young
man.
The doctor signed to his assistant to
retire, and then quickly drawing a small
revolver he leveled it, and in an instant
his patient fell dead at his feet
Without moments delay he COM

was carefully examining the lungs of
his victim with a microscope and study

law he said: Il killed this man for an
immediate autopsy, to discover a mys-

yer and Orator.
Have you ever seen Mr.. Dou l.er. y:
Well, if you haven't it's a fact to he he
walled, and we New York sinners can
then justly plume ourselves over the
knowledge of priceless possession. If
you have not seen him, here is falterinS
and unworthy portrait of the noblest of
Romans. He is tall, little over six feet,
spendidly broad about the shoulders
and straight as to leg, with finely
modelled head and voice like a golden
flute. Truly it was bitter for unassum-
ing Philadelphia that when her worthiest
son had reaped every reward she had to
offer he should leave her for New York.
Dougherty is surely brilliant man; as
a lawyer he stands preeminent and as
courtier he is unrivaled.
He left Philadelphia, for he found in
our city not only wider field for the
exercise of his legal talents, but, it must
also be admitted, more extended and
appreciative circle of admirers. Though
a man we'll on the wrong side OF so, with
the crispest, snowiest side whiskers and
hair, that give him the distinguished ap-

house. the fires of eloquence are not
even diminished, nor has his voice lost
one jot of its unrivaled sweetness of
timbre. He is listened to with even
more interest at political dinners and at
the Press Club than Chauncey Depew
himself for the latter, though glib
to- gued and witty, does not know all
the graces and smoothness ofgesture and
speech possessed in such marked de-
gree by Mr.. Dougherty.
1t is not on the rostrum and before
masculine audiences that the genial
Daniel finds his sole recreation. He
loves to disport himself in drawing
rooms, where his wit and the minor
eraces of manner show to perfection.
Feminine admiration has not yet ceased
to tickle his fancy. They, the literary
women, find him wonderfully to their
taste. They write him into their books.
read him their manuscripts, and
finally in honeyed tones he reads aloui
their effusions at the Thursday Evening
Club, and they are supremely happy.
Mr.. Dougherty looks exceedingly fiat
tered, and, doubt not, is often exceed
ingly amused. New York Letter in

DOROTHY.

DOROTHY.
Dorothy is debonair;
Little count hath she or care;
All her gold Is in her hair.
And the freshness of the spring
Round this old world seems to cling
When you hear her laugh or sing.
On her sunny way she goes;
Much she wonders little knows
Loves as yet folded rose.
All her smiles in dimples die;
Glad is she. nor knows she why
Just to live in ecstasy!
Lightly e the chains, methinks,
That have daisies for their links;
Youths the fount where Pleasure drinks.
Dorothy is debonair;
Lit lie count hath she or care,
Sunshine in her hear and hair.

Tho Peasant and His Son.

One day peasant carried basket of
potatoes to the field and dug holes in
the soil and planted them. His young
son watched operations for time and
then inquired:
Pop. why do you put those 'taters in
the ground9"
by so doing each one will bring me
back ten, replied the father.
The boy went away, and when his
father came up to dinner he found him
digging in the yard and asked:
Sonny what are you seeking for?"
"Why, Pop, have planted the clock,
the bootjack, two umbrellas, the teapot.
your Sunday hat, mas shoes, and table
cloth, and each one will bring me back
ten"
"You young Idiot, come out and be
paralyzed!" shouted the father; and he
tanned that boy up and down, and cross

peach tree limbs gave out
Pop planted 'taters to get back ten,

low shed to think, "but planted clocks

And the next fall, when the father
cut down his corn stalks to save them,
and the son cut down the current bushes
for the same object, he got licked again.

recently. In their employ was a
young man who chopped wood and
lived in a tent not far from the house.
The parents thought it would be nice

her head into the tent door. The
