MEMS THOUGHTS ON WAISTS.
Lincoln and Thackeray Detested Those
of Waspish Sort.

The opinions of great men ON marriage
and matrimonial topics are always inter
esting, if not invariably instructive, sa, 3
an exchange. ,
Thackeray, who detested wasp-waisted
women. " once told Young relative, who
was very much III love, 70 take his be-
trothed to a physician before purchasing
the engagement ring.
What for z" his companion inquired In
considerable astonlshment.
To see whether that wasp waist is an
inheritance or q consequence" be replied.
Consequence" exclaimed the Young
man. What do you meanY"
"Corsets," said Thackeray, laconlcalIy,
Miss -- has the most beautiful figure
in England" said the infatuated lover,
"She Is deformed." Ihackersy responded.
IF II is a natural deformity she may be a
moderately healthy woman. Even hump
backs are not always delicate, YOU know.
Mind. say moderately healthy. But II
that girls figure is the result of corsets
YOU might better go and hang yourself
rather than risk the evils that Will lneyl-
tably follow
Abraham Lincoln once remarked that
every man about TO marry should stand
over doctor with club and make him
tell the truth in reference TO the chosen
partner for life, If there was no other way
of getting ii out of hun. Also, that the
parents who would allow girl 10 marry q
man without knowing as nearly As could
be known his physical as well es his moral
condition deserved 70 be scalped.
THE whole marrying business is wrong
said Mr.. Lincoln. Fashionable girls
have too often foolish mothers, who care
for nothing but to sell their flesh and blood
to the highest bidder. "

COULDN'T BEAT NATURE.
silverpeg's System of Beating Faro
Bank Was Limited.


Whenever / see n faro game I am re-
minded of story told on Siiverpeg an old
prospector. He was a taciturn man. and
spent most OF his time prospecting in So
nora and Arizona. He got his nickname
from the fact that one OF his legs was AM
putated at the knee, necessltatlng MS
wearing wooden peg. and the additional
fact that he was always prospecting Tor
silver.
Silyerpeg had two ambitions in life--one
was TO strike a rich silver-mine. IN which
event he swore ho would make himself
silver leg to replace the wooden one ne
| hobbled around on the other was TO beat
| faro by his system. His system was Tor
certain cards to win clear through, ana
| others TO lose in the same way.
For years Sllverpeg has spent his sum-
mers in prospecting, without finding a
"rich sllyer-mine." On the advent OF
winter he would come TO town and en-
| deayor to break the faro-banks with his
system. The day the earthauake occur
red he was at Bayispe, Sonora, and was
| PLAYING faro.
| He vas playing his system and had been
! coppering the lack. The jack had lost
| three times. Silverpeg was IN happy
| mood, as his system was proving winning
| one. He coppered the jack clear up 10 the
| limit, being sure that his system was right
and that the jack would lose ont.

The shock had knocked the copper oil

HOW TO ESCAPE CHOLERA.
If You Live a Truly Good Life You Arr
Pretty Safe from Infection.

A great many people who are frightened
half out of their wits by the mere name OK
cholera would not know il II 1t met them
in the street. saws the New York Herald.
They have exaggerated ideas concerning
its outward manifestations, though IL
would be hard to exaggerate Its awful Yiru-
lence when the real thing gets hold OF one.
The Asiatic cholera wastes no time IN
playing with its victims. III is not caV-lAo
but wolfsh IN its form of attack.
An old-time writer describes the disease
in the following graphic fashion. IL Is "a
picture which no one can tail 10 see;
This dolour struck on the stomach; so
prieyous was the throe, and OF so bad sort,
that the very worst kind OF poison seemed
to be taking effect. as proved by vomiting
with excessive thirst for water accompany
ing 1t, as if the stomach were parched up,
and by the cramps that were nxed IN the
sinews OF the Joints and in the soles OF the
feet, with pain so extreme that the sufferer
seemed at the point of death. The eyes
were dimned to the sense and the nails OF
the hands and feet black and curved. For
this disease none of our physicians found
a cure The patient barely lived the day
or. at most, the night-through, In such
sort that of 100 attacked barely ten
escaped. SO great was tho mortality that
the bells tolled oil day."
IMPORTED POISON.
This. doctors say, Is descriptive of real
Asiatic cholera. For long time II was
confounded by doctors with cholera-mor-
bus, the green-fruit and ice-wster com
plant, and 10 this day you are not certain
of finding doctor who may not get the
two mixed up. ~
But experience has shown that while
ANYBODY can by strict attention 70 bush
ness catch the cholera-morbus on his own
