Lincoln's Present to the Little Girl.

Mrs. George B. Smith of Russell
county is the proud owner of a
string of beads presented to her by
Abraham Lincoln. She was school
girl at New Salem, Ills, at the time
Lincoln was running a store there,
and one day her teacher sent her to
Lincoln 8 well to get bucket OF
water Please, Mr.. Lincoln, may
Il get bucket of water9" said she
to'the tall young storekeeper. "Of
course you may responded Lin
coin Il thank you ever so much, :"
said the little girl, with a courtesy.
you are the politest little girl
ever saw, said Lincoln, with a
smile; come into the store and I
will give you a present. And this

MEN AND WOMEN.

The Correct Weights and Proportions as
! Measured by Artistic Standards.
1t would seem an easy matter to
give these, but it is not so, as there
are so many things to be taken into
consideration. The measurements
differ with the different races and
the different classes as well. The
artistic standards are given. The
head is taken as the standard Of
measurement. The height should
be eight times the length of the
head, the length of the head taken
to mean the distance from the top
of it to the lowest point of the chin.
The trunk should be four heads in
length, the distance from the trunk
to the knees two heads and from the
knees to the feet two heads. The
arms should be a head and a half
from the shoulder to the elbow and
the same from the elbow to the
hand. The length of the face should
be the same as the length of the
hand from the tip of the middle fin
ger to the wrist. These are the pro-
portions for the adult. They differ
according to the years of growth
with children and are different also
between girls and boys and men and
women. The trunk of women is
said to be longer in proportion than
that of men.
DR.. Sargent of Harvard prepared
for the Chicago Worlds fair two
clay models founded on the measure
ments of several thousand students.
The average height of the young
men was feet 8inches; the average
net weight, 1873 pounds; chest meas
urements, "a to 81 inches inflated.
1T is said that in height, weight and
strength this far exceeds the aver
age of any other nation, even Eng
land. The average for the young
women was height 5 feet 3 inches,
the weight ia pounds and the
chest measurement but 80 inches.
The measurements were not as good
for the women as for the men and
do not represent as well the devel-
opment of the American women.
While girls are pretty and round,
with the roundness of youth at IS,
they nevertheless do not show so
perfect a development of form as
when "a or more.

too much flesh and should beware
of it, asit destroys the proportions
and the looks as well as the pleasure
of moving about. "A short woman
cannot weigh much over 100 pounds
and preserve the proper proportion,

feet inches or more looks we'll

The value of water.

One of the greatest essentials to
health is undoubtedly an abundant
and free use of pure water Water
is the only fluid capable of circulat-
ing in all the tissues of the body and
penetrating its finer vessels without
irritation or injury. No other liquid
than water can dissolve the various
articles of food taken into the stom-
ach. It is water only which forms
the fluid portions of the blood, and
thus serves to convey its nutriment
to all parts of the body for it's
growth and replenishment. It is
water, again, which takes up the
decaying particles and conveys them
by most complicated and wonder
full system of drainage from the
body. In the morning the stomach
contains a considerable quantity of
mucus, spread over and adherent to
its walls. If food enters at this
time, the mucus will interfere to
some extent with the direct contact
between the food and the stomach
necessary to provoke the secretion
of the gastric juices A glass of
water taken before breakfast passes
through the stomach and gives it a
thorough exercise and washing. In
local troubles, like chronic gastric
catarrh, it is best to take hot water.
Such a time honored custom as
taking soup at the beginning of din
ner could only have been so persis-
tently adhered to because of it hav-
ing been found by experience to be
the most appropriate time. 1t does
what warm or hot water, with the
addition of salt, does, in that it is
.nutritive and excites the flow of
gastric juice New York Ledger.

A dreadful accident occurred at Reads
town on Tuesday morning, which result
ed in the death of one person and fright
full injury to another, who cannot
possibly survive. The meagrs partiou-
lars, as we gain them by telephone, are
as follows: Mr.. Dinsmore =. Ewers,
who has been using dynamite for rock
blasting purposes, placed two pounds
of the dangerous stuff in the oven of
his cook stove to dry and thaw it out
He soon after left the house and his
wife had occasion to close the oven door,
the conclusion or heat causing the dyna-
mite to explode. The house was
wrecked bsyond repair, Mrs Ewers and
her 13-year-old daughter, Alva Wood,
were blown through q window into the
street. ehockingly mangliug the girl
and she died soon after. Mrs. Ewers
is reported in a most critical condition.
Her person is bruised, limbs broken, aud
she is presumed to have sustained inter
nal injuries Her death is predicted at
any moment.
The only person in the house who
escaped Injury is two yearold child,
who was lying in cradle.
Drs Wood OF RAadstown, Brown of
Soldiers Grove and w. NJ Trowbridge,
of this city, were summoned to the
scene of the dreadful affair and are do
ing everything possible to relieve the
unfortunate woman.

City Library Affairs.

The first meeting of the board of di
rectors of the city library was held on
Friday afternoon. All directors were
present except Mrs. FL. d. Williams.
Organization of the board resulted:
President-C. NJ. Butt
Secretary-C. w. Graves.
Tresurer-Henry Lindemann.
The term of office for the respective
directors was decided by lot, dating
from July fret, next, es follows:
One year--Rogers, Nichols. Williams.
Two years Graves, Sanwick, Lindemann.
Three years-Dawson, Butt, Chase
Committee to draft by-laws: Miss

President nd:secretary were instruct
ed to rent library and reading rooms in
the Lindemann block at $50 per year
No action was taken toward the election
of librarian, but the CENSOR is advised
that the directors are practically unani-
nous in their desire to secure the servi
ces of Rev Hsughton. AS before sug
gested, we believe the selection would
prove most happy and profitable one
for all concerned. On the selection of
librarian, very much of the success or
failure Of the movement depends. While
the number of employees is much smaller,
the management, in method and detail
of small library are just as important
as in large one. Experience IN meth
DDS, knowledge and tone of literature
are all necessary qualifications. The
librarian should be one who will make
the work their permanent occupation
and delight Changes mean the fire.
quent training of unframed people. A
failure here must not be. OF course,
due re ard must be given to so proper
ton expenditures that neither the book
or any department shall suffer. Ii
small town like Bayfield, can pay $3.50
per yesr, surely we can, properly, pay
half that sum to su efficient librarian.
Voluntary service, part or whole In
such capacities must prove failure.
With our old library we know that by
demonstrated experience. The CENSOR
is deeply solicitous for the unbounded
success of the city library, hence this
extended comment.
A pleasing feature of the first meet
ing wss the gift by Director E nj. Rog-
ers of one years fuel for the new library.
The Generals public spirit and gener-
osity is often breaking out in new spots
Doubtless other similar gifts will ma
terialize, and when the success and per-
manence of the institution is settled be-
vond doubt, memorial building and
permanent home we are sure will not be
lacking.
