THE IDEAL FEMALE ARM.
Expressiveness as Well as Beauty,
an Important but Rare Feature.

al find great difficulty in getting a
model with good arms" said we'll
known sculptor recently. at is as
tonishing how few women there are
with arms that conform to the standard.
A perfect arm measured from the
wrist joint to the armpit, should be
twice the length of the head. The
upper part of the arm should be large.
full and we'll rounded. There should
be dimple at the elbow. The fore
arm must not be too fiat, not nearly
so flat as a mans, for instance.
From a we'll moulded shoulder the
whole arm should taper in long grace
full curves to a well-rounded wrist. 1t
is better to have an arm that har-
monies, even if the parts no not con-
form to the generally accepted lines
For instance. full, round upper arm
which is joined to a fiat or thin fore
arm has very bad effect. Perhaps it
is only little worse, however, than
a graceful, well-moulded forearm tack
ed on to thin, scrawny upper arm.
Correctness of form is not the only
thing necessary for good arm. The
owner must possess the power of ex-
preston with her arms. American
women are deficient in this as rule.
Those nationalities which show the
most expression in their arms are the
Spanish, French and Italians. The
warmest admirer of Sarah Bernhardt
would not claim that she had beauti-
full arms, yet no one can say that the
divine Sarah ever appears ungainly in
consequence. Much more lies in the
faculty OF arm expression than is
generally supposed"

A Clever Dog.
The Spectator.

Stacy Marks ancedote OF the money
finding dog, which he attributes to
Landseer. is very prince among all
stories of the kind. The dogs master,
in the presence of skeptical friend,
hid five pound note in the hole OF a
tree when the dog was paying him no
attention. "Go, fetch!" he said, some
time after, while returning by another
road, without further explanation.
The dog trotted off, and it was few
hours before he joined the two at
home. As there were no signs of q
note, the skeptical friend grew satiri-
cal. But the host opened the dogs
mouth, and FIVE sovereigns were con-
cealed under his tongue. He had
found the note, been to the bankers
and exchanged it for gold.

Next Ccntury,s Population.

A we'll known French statistician
computes the following figures, based
on present statistics, for the end OF
the twentieth century. According to
his tables the population Of the earth
at that time will he:
Europe, 7SOOOO,OOO at present 1884,
OOO,OOO).
Asia. 1,lOO,OoO,OOO Cat present $780,
900, ,OOO.
America, 6S5,OOO.OOO Cat present
l25, 500, ,OOO).
Australia, 100000 (at present s.
7OO,OOO).
Africa, sOOyOOOOOO Cat present 17O,-
OOO,OOO).
Thus America will be first in regard
to increase and Europe second, while
the ratio OF increaee will grow steadily
larger in America and smaller in
Europe. The decline of the ratio OF
increase, which may be already OBJ.
served in France, will extend in rota-
ton to Germany, Italy, England, etc.
The population of the various coun-
tries at the end of the next century is
given thus:
Russia, 34O,OO0,000.
Germany, 1l5,OOO.OOO.
France, 56,OOO,OO0.
China. 550,O00,OOO.
United States, 400, 100000.
Mexico and Brazil, 100000.
Canada, 100000.
Argentine Republic. 100000.
English will probably be spoken in
1894 by more than 5OOOOOOOO, Ger
man by 13O, 100000, Spanish and Por.
tuguese by 100000 people.

WONDERS OF THE SEA.

The Atlantic ocean takes its name
from Mount Atlas.
The Gulf Stream is 100 miles wide
and from 400 to 600 fathoms deep.
There are springs OF fresh water in
the Persian Gulf that furnish supplies
to vessels.
The average depth OF all oceans is
supposed to be between 1000 and g.
600 fsthoms.
The saline matter held in solution
in sea water comprises one-thirteenth
of its weight.
The water of the Dead Sea yields
about two pounds to the gallon of
saline substances.
In cubic foot Of phosphorescent
sea water there have been found 25,-
600 living creatures.
The water of the Mediterranean
contains a greater proportion of salt
than that of the ocean.
Nearly three-fourths of the worlds
drainage, directly or indirectly, pours
into the Atlantic Ocean.
The sole business of every inhabi.
tant Of the sea is to feed himself, and
all attend strictly to business.
1t is estimated that the waters OF
the whole ocean contains in solution
over 100000 tons OF pure silver.
1t it estimated that two years are
required for the Gulf water to travel
from Florida to the Coast OF Norway.
1t has been estimated that more
gold and silver have been sunk in the
sea than are now in circulation on the
earth.
If the surface of the earth were
perfectly level, the waters of the
ocean would cover it to depth OF
600 feet.
The water of the ocean contains
gold held in solution by the iodide of
calcium. The quantity is but one
grain to the ton.
The waters of the oceans, notwith-
standing numerous local influences,
is nearly of the same composition in
every part of the world.
The first map of the Gulf Stream
was made by Benjamin Franklin, who
tried to point out the utility of ocean
currents in navigation.
Coral Larvae are born alive and swim
OFT to seek locality on which to set
tie. After they have once become
fixed they never again change place.
If it were not for the salts of the
ocean the whole sea would soon be.
come a mass of corruption, owing to
the decay of organic matter it con-
tains.
The phosphorescence OF sea water
in the tropics is due to the presence of
millions of small animals, some micro
scopic, others like the jelly-fish, of con.
siderable size.
The great Barrier Reef along the
Coast of Australia is about $500 miles
long, the work of coral insects. Some
times it rises almost perpendicularly
from depth Of l 200 fathoms.

have changed in appearance, but for
the better. She is stouter and matron-
ly in every way. The simple manner
of dressing her hair is vastly becom-
ing, and the pure white colorless COM
plexion adds a refinement and dis.
tinction to her face. No one has been
more maligned by the sunlight than
Mrs. Cleveland, and the new photo.
graphs that have been on sale this
spring are the reverse of fattering.
More of the photographs taken just
after her wedding are seen and sold here
than of the prints from negatives
made at Lakewood last winter. There
is as much charm and cordiality in
her manner as ever, with more dignity
and repose than beiore-the simplicity
directness and ease of a woman fully
at home, aware of and equal to the re-
quirements OF her position.

win ter the Time for Dreaming.

Many persons who are not by habit
dreamers dream great deal at the
beginning of winter, and wonder why
they do so. The answer is simple.
When cold weather sets in suddenly,
and is much felt at night, the head
which is uncovered, has the blood sup
piled to it driven from the surface to
the deeper parts, notably the brain
the organ of the mind. The results
are light sleep and dreams. The OBJ
vious remedy is to wear a nightcap OF
to wrap the head warmly, at least
while the cold weather laste. We oil
this generation suffer more from brain
troubles than our predecessors be.
cause we leave the head exposed al
night, and the blood vessels OF oul
ceribral organs are seldom unloaded.

TALK ON OYSTERS
An Expert TeliS How They Are
Rest Prepared.

Oregpnian.
The Portland market is we'll sup
piled with oysters OF several varieties
from different places all the year
round. Some prefer the large East
ern oyster" so-calied, although most
of them are raised ON this coast from
seed oysters brought from the East,
while others prefer the small or native
oyster. A man who has been hand
ling and opening oysters for this
market for many years, was asked
lately which kind of oyster was in
best demand here. He said: GA
large class Of customers want oysters
large and fat looking; so dealers give
them this appearance by putting them
into fresh water for time. Another
class, comprising nearly all the Amer
leans, do not want oysters after they
have been freshed, as they say the
flavor is then gone. 1t is all a matter
OF taste. To my mind the oyster d.
rectly from salt water, in its natural
liquor, has much more delicate
flavor than the one which has been
put into fresh water. Thus best
oysters on this coast, in my opinion,
come from Netarts and Samish bays.
The general preference is, however,
given to the large George oyster.
which comes from Oyster bay, below
Olympia; but the Shoalwater bay
oyster has the most delicate flavor oil
them all. In regard to Eastern trans.
planted oysters, there is a great diff.
ference in the way that they are served
on the shell. To make them look
large they are opened on the fiat shell
but by opening them on the deer
shell they retain their liquor, which il
the best part of the oyster and suits
the epicurean taste the best. The
popular oyster of to-day comes upon
the market small, plump, and of a
fair complexion. There are few
however, who claim that unless the
oyster leaves its shell somewhat lark
and lean, with brownish tint, that
indicates life spent in salt sea water,
it is flavorless.
every many fancy that perfection
is reached in oysters when they are
very bloated. This bloated appear
ance is obtained by throwing the oys-
ter, when opened, into fresh water
and letting it die there, where it will
absorb large quantity OF fresh water,
The proper and most natural way is
to open the oyster into bowl, using
no fresh water at all, but letting the
oyster die in its own liquor. All first
class oystermen wash the oysters be.
fore opening them, thus removing all
shells and grit. Bloated oysters used
to be in most demand, but now oys-
ters in their natural liquor are pre-
ferred. The secret of the bar oyster
business is using oysters in their nat
ural state"

The Queens statute.
London Letter.


The queen has unveiled in Kensing-
ton gardens the statue of herself by
her daughter, Princess Louise, the
cost of which has been betrayed by
local subscription. The Princess
Louise, who is . sculptor of considera-
BILE merit, received $500 for the work
and insisted on the same terms as a
professional would have demanded
viz: 41OO down on accepting the COM
mission, s200 when the work was hall
done and E2OO on its completion.
The princess is popular, so that no
one grudges her the money, except
perhaps some struggling sculptor who
might have obtained the job had no,
a princess been competitor.
