Nothing is more truly artistic than
the simply outlined oval of the perfect
female form. 1t is but slightly de-
pressed at the waist, the hips are as
wide as the shoulders, there is not an
angle from top to toe. 1t is as different
from the outline of the fashionable,
''well-set-up' woman, with her squared
shoulders and angular hips, as horse
is from camel. We call the high
belted Empire dresses artistic, be-
cause they preserve this oval bet
ter than the longer-waisted shapes.
The nude figure has no belt
line. When the weight rests equally
upon the feet, and the body is held up
right, the smallest measurement of the
waist is about where the modern belt
is placed But let the body bend to one
side, and the point of intersection of
the hip and side muscles will be over
an inch above the former belt line.
This is why field la borers, even to the
slenderest young girl, are short
wasted" For by gienic reasons the
belt should never be placed below this
point, and by thus shortening the
straight under-arm seam by an inch
the beauty of the uncorseted waist is
materially aided.-Ladies' Home Jour

A GREAT MANS BRAINS,
Carrying Out the Singular Request of Mr.
Gfote, the Noted Historian.

Carrying Out the Singular Request of Mr..
Grote, the Noted Historian.
Every one knows that mental power
is implied not by the mere bigness of
the head, but by the organization of
the brain. A comparatively small
brain may be SO completely organized
as greatly to exceed in intellectual
capacity larger brain not SO perfectly
constituted. Yet it is not often that
Psychologists have an opportunity to
examine the brain of person known
to have possessed exceptional mental
powers, so as to enable them to base
their conclusions in this respect upon
actual observation and comparison.
1t was singular, and from the point
Of view of science, perhaps commend
able impulse, which induced the late
George Grote, the celebrated historian,
to leave a written request that his
brain should be weighed and examined
after his death.
The request was complied with, and
Prof: John Marshall, who himself has
since died, conducted the examination;
the interesting results of which havs
ICCCuLly OCtu IldOC
1t appers that Mr.. Grote's brain was
not especially remarkable for size, and,
indeed. it seems to have been some=
what below the average in weight, as
compared with the general weight of
the body. Some allowance had to be
made in this respect, however, for the
wasting effects of disease. But upon
the whole it was not a large brain. It
was comparatively broad from side to
side and short from front to rear, and
decidedly higher than usual.
The indications of uncommon mental
capacity began to be perceived when
the convolutions Of the organ were ex-
amined. In the cere brum, or upper and
forward part of the brain, the convolu-
tions were massive, broad and deep,
and especially at the front and sides
the folds were marked with secondary
burrows.
There was also an abundance of the
"gray matter" to which the physiolo-
giststs have ascribed an important
function in the activity of the brain,
as we'll as remarkable number of
white fbers, particularly TRAVERSE
ones connecting the ganglia. These
various features were regarded by
the examiners as stamping Mr.. Grote's
brain as one of high and very perfect
organization.
1t is said that the relative size of cer-
tain convolutions suggested interesting
reflections concerning the individual
peculiarities of Mr.. Grote as related to
localiIation of function in the brain,
but Prof. Marshall did not regard these
reflections as quite trustworthy, and SO
no definite conclusions appear to have
been drawn. This will probably be a
disappointment to those who think
that certain mental powers or tenden-
cies have their cen ters of activity local

WHEN DAY is. DONE.

What trills the bird. beside its nest,
When skies are purpling down the west,
And leaves are touched with rUddy gold,
And lambs are gathered in the fold?
A clear-yoiced carol seems to say;
Good night, Good night
Though fades the light,
I've made some lone heart glad to-dayl"
What tell the sunbeams, warm and fair,
Before they leave the fields and air,
To fade in deep blue skies afar,
Whence soon will peep the first pale start
Awhisper soft seem to hear:
"Sweet restl Sweet rest!
We've shone our bes.,
All day we've sought sad eyes to cheeri"
What pipes the cricket, blithe and shrill2
What lisps the brooklet louder still
With dewy dusk? One message sweet
To those who hoarken, they repeat:
:. We've done our best the earth to glad;
Dear light farewell
What JOY TO tell
That we have made the day less sad!'
Oh, grant, while wanes the crimson glow,
And slumber bushes all below,
That may not less grateful be,
But with glad humility
And thankful heart still can say:
GOOD night! Sweet restl
I've done my best
To cheer some weary life to-day"

Learning Chinese.

q People reared in an environment OF
Anglo-Saxon custom and tradition have
always found Chinese the most difficult
of all languages to acquire. 1t is not
very surprising, therefore, to learn that
the British army authorities have found
it almost impossible, even by the most
persuasive inducements, to get their
offices to undertake the study of the
mandarin tongue. Ten years ago the
government offered handsome prizes to
any officer who could show satisfactory
progress in learning Chinese, and now
a reward of two thousand rupees is
promised to all officers passing even
an elementary examination in this diff
ficult language of monosyllables In
the United States Chinese is but little
studied. About ten years ago Harvard
college offered course of instruction
in 1T, and imported most imposing
mandarin, to teach it, but hardly hall

relephoning ON Telegraph Wires.

An apparatus has ben constructed
for telephoning simultaneously over
telegraph wires. The system has been
in operation for some time on the tele-
phone line from Budapest to Szegedin,
a distance of 124 miles. The results
were satisfactory. The apparatus can
easily be inserted in a telegraph cir
cult and used at once. 1t is said that
simultaneous telegraphy along the
wire does not in the least interfere
with telephoning, and that the effects
of induction and all disturbing noises
are completely removed.
