BY means of these measurements
any woman can ascertain for herself
how far she differs in proportion from
the two famous beauties. There is
some comfort, too, in the thought
that both were beautiful, although
their proportions differ in important
particulars; and doubtless there are
millions of beautiful women who do
not come very close to either.
Taking Mrs. Langtry as a type, 1t
appears that the modern runs less to
shoulders, and more to hips than the
woman OF antiquity. The ancient has
also a decided advantage in the
length of legs and arms, and the size
of the neck and ankles. On the whole,
the modern woman appears to be less
muscularly and more voluptuously
formed than the ancient. But then,
one swallow doesn't make a summer,
and one woman doesn't make a mod
ern world boston Globe.

Dyspepsia

Makes many lives miserable. and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, etc, are caused by this very common and
Increasing disease. Hoods sarsaparilla tones the
stomach, creates an appetite. promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases Of dys-
pepsia. Read the following:

He Ought to BE Killed Himself

The Eoening Journal is responsible
for the assertion that a resident of
Academy street has a mania for kill
ing animals and has been slaughter
ing'all the pet dogs and cats in the
vicinity of Bergen Square.
Why does not the owner of some of
the animals first cudgel the scoundrel
within an inch of his life and then
prosecute him with all the rigor ofthe
law.
The love of torturing and killing an
finals is only another pha Sc of that
mania for cruelty and blood which
found its acme in Jesse Pomeroy, the
child t~orturer or Jack the Ripper.
If the miscreant is arrested, the
courts should mete out to him the
severest penalties the law attaches to
cruelty and to the destruction of
the property of others.

THE BLACK ROBBERS.
Believed To he Dangerous Characters
and Professional Thieves.

and Professional Thieves.
The two negros, William johnson and
John Denyers. committed for trial In the
First District Police Court yesterday for
robbing the money drawer Of Sing Wah's
laundry in Barrow street, are now thought
by the police to be noted professional
cracksmen. Two more complaints have
been lodged against them of a similar
character by Cinnamon.
John Lee. whose laundry is located Mt
No. 101 Erie street, claims that his money
drawer was robbed by the same two
negroes aud In the same manner as was
Sing Wah's, and an uptown laundry
man had a similar experience.
That neither of the prisoners a " their
right names is shown by the fact that
when called upon by the Justice for their
names Trey got the names mixed. john
son in court was Denver at the sergeant's
desk. Denver was caught by Detective
Pearson tipping johnson on the mistake,
and the Court was so informed.
Chief of Police Murphy declares il his
belief that they are dangerous charac-
tiers.

Mcclure only wanted to decorate the

Good Idea.

Here is a good idea, even il it did
come from the State Gazette:
The New Jersey Conference ought to go the
State House Ia a body and protest with empha-
sis against the enactment OF the County License
Board bill.
Thei bill is an abomination and can
do the Democracy and the State moth
ing but harm. Let us hope the Gov
ernor will stick TO his determination
announced at the opening of the ses-
sion. and crush it with his veto.
THE american PotterS' Journal, in
an excellent editorial, points out that
the State Police law passed this SEES
sion is tue death blow of Pinkerton-
ism in this State 1t very justly says
that this result adds one more item to
the debt the people owe to Governor
Albeit. The Journal says
The Pinkerton system has been a menace to
the working classes and 70 organized lator from
the very first; it was an eng iue OF mighty
power. always available 10 corporations aud
Others for the shooting down Of women, chill
drcn and inofenslse worknen, a. the case
might be, who were guilty OF defending their
right 10 organizs TO ask for more wages Tor Their
latOr.
Like the plaques OF Egypt there seemed to
be no hops, until GovsrnoF Aboett's fertile
b. ain conserved tae idea OF stats policemen,
winch had been suggested to him while wit
Messing some disorders at C.ark's Thread Works.
These IDEAS were embodied la a bin introduced
into the lower House by Mr.. MuAone. and have
become part and parcel of our state laws.
The appo ntment and calling out OF the State
policemen are hedged about with many checks
aud formalities. which operate as safeguards
against hasty or i'll advised action. Application
must DC made TO the radges Of the courts or our
county prosecutors, and that they must BE- sat
isfsd that the local authorities are pJweriess in
the case before tue State policemen are called
out Then these poiicsmen must file a bond in
the sum of $500. which bond eau b. sued for
any nlawlul act dous by them, TO either per son
or property.
Il seems to US that the Pinkerton question is
solved ia New Jersey, and It has been so.vel by
Governor Albeit.
