THE MOST GRACEFUL WALKER OF ALL.
There is nothing that contributes 50
effectively to give a woman a perfect
walk as to accustom her to balance a
pitcher on her head. 1t forces her to no Id
Ter head erect, her back straight, with
her bust fully developed, and to move
without any jerkiness or angularity.
Otherwise the water would be spilled
over her.
American women, who seem to have
combined in their persons all the various
graces. charms and attractions of the diff
ferent races of Europe, are not in the
habit of carrying water pitchers on their
heads, but, nevertheless, walk as if they
were accustomed to do so; and one of the
first things that strikes the returning
tourist from Paris, London and Berlin is
the grace and elegance of our women's
walk.
This being the case, would recommend
my fair correspondent at Philadelphia to
adopt walking as the form of exercise
most conducive to her health and beauty.
Unlike most of their foreign sisters, the
daughters of Uncle Sam always appear
to their advantage when walking, and
were they to realize this and to take more
of this species of exercise we should see
fewer women inclined to embonpoint.
For, alas! there always comes . time of
life for us women when we either become
too voluminous or too ethereal. I leave

It's Exact Location 10 Now . Natter q
Great Uncertainty.
Three different piles of ruins In
Babylenia claim the distinction Of be-
ing the remnants Of the original tower,
the building of which caused the ''con-
fusion Of tongues" The first of the
three is the celebrated Nimrod's Tower,
near Aklurkef; the second on the east
bank of the Euphrates river, Eve miles
above tho modern city of Hllah; third,
the conical mound known as Birs MINI
rod, six miles and half southwest Of
the city last named above all in Babylo-
MIA proper. Biblical scholars, says the
Philadelphia Press, throw the weight
Of their opinions in favor of Birs MINI
rod as being the site of the proposed
heaven-penetrating shaft. The ruins at
this point. which consist mainly of
kiln-burnt bricks, huge rough and cut
stones and vitrified mortar almost hid
den from sight by the sands which
have been accommodating for centuries,
are one hundred ninety-eight feet in
height and nearly eight hundred yards
in circumference. Sir r. K. Porter,
who has given much time to excavating,
mapping and studying the Birs Nimrod
ruins, believes its vitr fled appear
ance to be the results of numerous
lightning strokes, conclusions which
taken in connection with the tradition
that the tower was destroyed by fire
from heavenly form an interesting
subject for thought. Porter also says
that with the exception of natural &C.
cumulation and decay the tower is, in
his estimation, almost in tho exact con-
dition as it was when abandoned at the

What is the exercise most conducive
to physical beauty in womenl This IS
queer question which / found last week
contained in a letter bearing the post
mark of Philadelphia After consider
able thought and discussion with several
eminent New York physicians with
whom 1 am acquainted l have come to
the very decided conclusion that walk
ing is undoubtedly the form of exercise
most conducive to feminine health and
beauty. Tennis, although very exciting,
is too violent, and tends to lengthen the
arms, enlarge the hands and make the
shoulders uneven. Moreover, 1t is form
of sport Of which one is apt to become very
fond and in consequence to indulge
therein to excess. Croquet does not really
give any exercise worth speaking of. and
may therefore be left out of the question
altogether. The side saddle, to which
