The Correct Thing.

For the benefit of the ladies who
are interested in the ideal proper
tions for female form we publish
the following
The proportion of the Venus de
Medici were as follows Height, 4
feet 7 inches across the shoulders,
l6l inches bust, IS inches arm,
II inches thigh, "a inches calf,
II inches /; neck, 49, inches
hips, u inches length of leg, -
inches length of arm, % inches
ankle, 81 inches. An artist gives
his measurements of heads. That
upon the Venus de Medici is x inch
es III diameter, but about y inches
is the ideal measurement. The
width of the shoulders in an ideal
figure is twice that of the head, and
the extended arms measure the same
as the height of the figure.
OF course there is no objection to
young men clipping the same and
keeping it in their note book for the
purpose of making comparisons.
Men these days want everything,
even in that particular, to size up
properly.

Words Of Coincidence.

At n meeting of the Joint Council
OF the Middleburgh charge of the

Whereas, it has pleased Divine
Providence in his infinite wisdom To

labors the wife of our beloved pas
tor. Rev. |: L. Neif, the Joint Coun-
ell, being desirous of testifying their
respect for the memory of Sister
Neff, express their earnest and af-
fectlonate sympathy with the house

of its earthly head.
That the Joint Council in behalf
of the members of the charge, ten
derly condole with the husband and
children i'll their hour of trial and
aiiliction, and devoutly commend
them to the keeping of Him who
looks with pitying eye upon the
sorrowing.
While we deeply sympathize with
those who were bound to our Sister
by the nearest and dearest ties, we
share with them hope of Il reunion
in that better world where there are
no ,partings, and bliss inefl'able for
bids all tears.
We transmit these words of con
dolence TO the family of the deceas.

Better Roads Demanded.

Numerously signed petitions for
road Improvement are being receiv-
ed by members of both branches of
the legislature. The most popular
is one in which the petitioners rep
resent that for many years the
roads of the State have been in II
very bad condition, and from the
increase in population and travel
are likely to become worse under
the present road laws. We there
fore pray your honorable bodies to
enact II road law dispensing with
the election of road supervisors in
each township, and stopping the as
sessing of road taxes on all farm
and agriculture land for ten years,
and placing the management of
roads and Efidges under the care Of
II superintendent of roads with
headquarters at Harrisburg, and
authorized to appoint and control n
superintendent of roads in each
county, with Office in each county
seat, and each county superintendent
to appoint and control road super
intendent in each township or road
district, and repeating all present
road laws"

the new one-cent postage stamp is
sued by the Government on January
l. Instead of reading Columbus
in sight of land" it reads "Columrus
in sight of land" If such an error
will creep into as little thing as
postage stamp, is it any wonder that
they are found in newspapers where
ten thousand little particles of lead
each representing character
used in its composition.
The will of George Schnure, decd,
was probated on Tuesday. 1t was
made on the 18th day of October,
1882, and has two codicils-the one
made Oct. 13, 1884, and the other
Nov. 20, 1886. james X. Davis and
{. Il. North are named az execntors.
1t is ponderous document and dis
poses of property valued at over
5000, 600 in most equitable and sat
isfactory manner. After all the be-
quests have been filed, the residue
is to be equally divided among the
three surviving children at the time
the will was made, viz. III. ID. Schnure,
Emma c., intermarried to Harvey II.
Schoch, and Elizabeth f., NOW de-
ceased who was married to Ira G..
Schoch, and leaves to survive three
children.
A frightful accident happened on
Saturday afternoon, Jan. %, Mt
Howell's stave mill. Mcclure. While
James Stump was engaged in grind
ing an axe, screw that projected
from the pulley attached to the stone
caught i'll his cloths and the next
instant he was hurled around the
shaft at II terrific rate. His legs
struck Il beam ut every revolution
breaking the bones into splinters.
The engine was at once stopped and
the unfortunate youth released
more dead than alive. Every stitch
of clothing was torn from his body.
One leg was ut once amputated and
the other may be saved. The shaft
having caught him on the breast,
thus allowing his head to pass with
out coming in contact with the beam
else instant death would have been
the result. Last reports had him
on fair way of recovery.
No woman should be troubled
with bad breath. IL always pro-
ceeds from one of two or three
causes. Either disordered stom-
ach, decayed or neglected teeth, OF
catarrhal troubles, any one of which
is easily remedied if taken in time.
There is nothing so offensive, how
ever, rs bad breath, and the woman
no matter how dainty ana sweet she
may look, she loses her charm if she
has bad breath. The same may be
said of meu. We do not care how
cleanly man is otherwise, if he
don't take care of his teeth he is
impure all over. A neat gold filling
in gentleman or lady's tooth is
direct evidence of intelligence
and refinement. 1t makes us tired
to hear person, of either gender,
enter on tyrate upon the foulness
of tobacco chewing whose breath is
strong enough to carry hat. For
goodness sake chew something. Chew
anything, but we recommend a tiny
bit of oris Tor iris) root which if
finely chewed and allowed to remain
in the mouth few moments will re-
! fine and sweeten the breath.

Inc natural assumption would be that

Scientist. May Differ

As TO the causes Of rheumatism m, but there is no
difference Of opinion among them as TO the dan
ger which attends it. the symptoms by which it
manifests itself, and the difficulty of d~islodging
it in its chronic stage. Several mineral and
vegetable p.isons are prescribed for it, but
none of these has been shown by experience to
possess the same efficacy as Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, This benign specific depurates the
blood by promoting vigorous action of the kid
neys, which strain from the blood as it passes
through them the rheumatic virus when it ex-
lists in the system. Physicians of eminence tes-
tify to the value of the Bitters in rheumatism,
and the professional opinions regarding it are
borne out and corfoborated by ample popu
lar evidence. The Bitters remedy chills and
fever. liver complaint. dyspepsia and constr.
patton.
