OnaatInna of Health.

The popular notion that an athlete, because of his athleticism, is healthy man is a delusive one. Muscular de- velopment is not an affair of the con- stitution; it is an accident. Strong limbs and weak heart are not infre- quently associates. Many a strong man" dies prematurely of consump- ton. If health may be defined as a capacity for holding on to life, tn en in many cases the weddings are the healthiest. If such definition is ac- curate, women are healthier than men; their average length of days is greater than ours. But it is doubtful if centenarians, merely because they are centenarians, are the healthlest. I knew case of woman, who recent ly died at .the age of one hundred and five, who was slightly paralyzed, even as child, and who was practically completely so for more than seventy years Could such a one have ever beea correctly described as healthy? It !s as hard to say what life is as to say what health is, and the way in which unhealthy folks are tenacious of life is not the least of the marvels.-' All the Year Round.

ed against direct current of air, the wind-curtain will be valuable.
 About foot above the window-stool, on both edges of the castings, insert diagonally pair of two-inch screw hooks. Being on the outside edges of the castings, they do not mar the wood, and are unnoticed during the day. Prepare a. light curtain pole, say an inch in diameter, and insert screw. eyes to correspond with the hooks. This pole may be a regular curtain pole with brass knobs, or bamboo pole, or humble roomstick-painted, however. we will hope.
 Hang upon this pole, either by rings or by q broad hem through which the pole is thrust, a short curtain of burlap, as indicated by the dotted line in the cut. This coarse cloth is suggested bc- cause of its very openness; while break ing the force of the wind, it admits much of it in gentle way. This may be trimmed tastily with a half-inch hempen rope, or wiSl cat stitching.
 To prevent the curtain from Tapping III tilC WlHu, sew IO lJ d I1dIT Cl Slldli rings, which can be loosely attached to another pair of small hooks screwed on the under side of the window-stool at its eXtremities.
 The chief admission of air will not be through the intcrstices of the coarse burlap, but above and around it, from the three or four-inch space between it and the sash. A shawl or afghan may be thrown over the pole instead of a regularly hung curtain, and will an. swer the purpose equally well. In the morning the pole is lifted from its inconspicuous hooks, and stored away in the closet out of sight.
 If it is preferred to have the window opened at the top, the same contrivapce may be used-the window-shade being run up out of the way, and thus pre- served from Tapping or from damage by the rain.-Harriet Benton, in Youths Companion.

WOMAN AND HOME.
BICYCLING COSTUMES.
An Entertaining and Important Subject
 Instructively Discussed.

EuDl9CG Instructively Discussed.
 The ;nteresting discussion which is | going on in the newspapers as to the most convenient and becoming style of bicycle costume for adult female riders, during the progress of the fad, illus trates peculiar weakness of the sex, or to put it more correctly, pardona- bic vanity. Time was when there would have been no discussion of this kind. In the old days girl or woman found riding bicycle, if bicycles had been known in those days, whether in a full or abbreviated skirt, would have met with dire punishment at the hands of the elders, while short skirt would have provoked as stern an outburst of anger as did the display of limbs before that redoubtable old Knickerbocker governor of New Amsterdam. But tho world has progressed since those days and the display of those members with which, according to the poet, the devil baiteth his hook, no longer occasions surprise, unless it happens that they arc unshapely.
 Hence the discussion of this problem has, according to the Chicago Tribune, taken exactly the shape which might have been anticipated. It will be ob- served that all the girls, married won- cn and widows who have symmetrical lower limbs are inclined to favor the short skirt which will not obscure that symmetry. On the other hand, all those who have spindling or the Chip pendale style of combinations are firmly set upon having the long skirts. Be- tween these two classes there is still another which is neutral as to sym metry. It is conscious that it has no occasion for vanity and at the same time it knows it is not a subiectSfor ridiculc. This class is in profound doubt about the skirt and how far it should come down. Again it is notice able that the girls arc more particular about these aspects of the case than the married or older women. The former are actuated by the aforemen- toned vanity, which is entirely par donablc, which is condoned5 by every poet from Shakespeare to Swinburne, and which is hinted at even by saintly George Herbert, while the latter are

UNHAMPERED BY FACTS.
Woman's Ideas of Figures and Measure
 ments Usually Unreliable.

Woman's Ideas of Figures and Measure
 ments Usually Unreliable.
 However accurate in many things the average woman may be, her idea of figures and measurements are pretty sure to be vague and unreliable, says the New York Evening Sun. She has, seemingly, no compunction whatever about declaring a thing to be two yards long when she means two feet. A woman once came home from yacht ing trip and described 30Afoot mast as measuring 300 feet, and all with such calm assurance that not one of her as- founded listeners dared contradict her. Mir. Howells, who knows something of feminine nature, has not failed to touch upon this frailty. "Why, Agnes, that's only ten," says Mir. Roberts in enumer- ating "the elevator" dinner party; you said that there were twelve guests. 1" "Wen, never .mind," answers Mrs. Rob- erts, with complacent and character istic logic, "I meant ten" It was not one of Mir. Howells' heroines, however, who triumphantly announced that Q certain edifice that she had seen abroad measured three miles in length. Even her long-suffering husband, hardened aa he was to such rash and reckless stath'tics, couldn't stand that He therefore, slyly touched his wifes foot un3er the table. Whereupon the wom. an promptly addedi "And two feet wide"

more disposed to regard comfort and freedom of acton of the limbs.
 There is no good reason indeed why the female riders should not wear the abbreviated skirt, all classes of them. The Chippendale class can easily enough place themselves upon the same footing with their more favored sisters by the sllillful use of padding. Sym mctry of all sorts can now be procured at the shops. If it be allowable for a less favored sister to, conceal the ray ages of time by the appliances of art and to compensate for the cruel indif- ference of nature by the skill of the chemists and cunning artifcers, if she can go to the studios where female beauty is compounded for sale and pur- chase hair, eyebrows, complexion, checks, neck, bust, arms and fingers, which vie with the highest efforts of nature, why should she not purchase also the requisites of symmetry for the motive power of the treadles and thus enjoy all the pleasure of the most favored class? It may be averrcd that she is flying figure of deceit, impos- ing upon the public as she speeds along the park or the boulevard, but that is a matter between herself and her con science, and if the spectator is none the wiser, as most certainly he will not be, the conscience will find it difficult to rise superior to innocent vanity. Therefore there is no reason why the entire world of female cyclers, young and old, shapely and unshapely, lean and fat, handsome and ugly, should not adopt the abbreviated skirt and have as good n time as the male pa irons of the bike" who are grossly in- different as to their looks. The com ing woman in her competition with man will surrender many of her pre- negatives, but it may be assumed she will never abandon her pride in her natural or artificial charms, as the case may be. Shc will never be content to make as ridiculous an appearance as most men do on the bicycle, and she hover should, for it is every woman's duty to be as beautiful as nature or money will allow, whether on or off the flying wheel. In a word, let wom- en dress as they please r'this health giving exercise.

 Certainly he has!'
 And the whooping cough?"
 "Yes, when he was only eight morths old"
 Mrs. Bowser, when I looked into that boys face this morning I was shocked. l tell you his system is all out of gear, and he needs something to brace him up. As near as can make out from this book he has some ail. ment of his liver, and I propose"
 You propose to give him some oi your dope!" she finished as he hesi. tated
 My dope! You said dope, didn't you! What do you mean by dope!"
 "I mean the barrel of stuff you have bought and taken dose or two of and then put away. If anything is wrong with that child we'll call in a doctor. ,
 'Mrs. Bowser, if that child has worms-if the seal of death has already been stamped"
 But he has no wormsr she inter. rupted. If anything ails the child he is too healthy If you want to take four hundred different sorts of sarsa. parillas, invigorators, tonics, cures and all that have no objections, but for mercy's sake don't get fad about ouI childw

As the loving father of thai child it is not only my duty but my privilege to look him over and guard him. That hectic flush on his face this evening did not escape my notice. For all you know he may be coming down with scarlet fever.
 That hectic flush was caused by his playing circus and standing on his head, replied Mrs. Bowser. "He gets ten hours sleep every night, eats like man, and never even has sore throat"
 Have you heard him moan out in his sleep, Mrs. Bowser--moan and groan and sigh and sob? Perhaps not, but have, and this book says those are the premonitory symptoms of spinal meningitis. Before the clock strikes midnight we may be childless!"
 And before the clock strikes ten I'll throw that book into the stove" she hotly replied. "The idea of an old maid writing a book to tell mothers how to bring up children! And the idea of your paying two or three dollars for such nonsensew

 "And am the father of that childr
 'Of course"
 "Then l am going to see him and de. termine for myself whether he will live the night out or die before another sun rises! If you wish to accompany me to his"
 But just then young Bowser, whc had been awakened by his fathers loud talk, came downstairs in his and he presented such a picture of good health that Mr. Bowser sat down with the feeling that he had lost his case. It wasn't until Mrs Bowser was leading the boy back tc bed that the father found words to say!
 Death may not have actually placed it's mark upon his brow, but itI cant be far off. I'll look him over in the morning."
 And the lawyers the alimony- custody of the child, and so fortn?" she queried, as she paused on the stairs.
