A Law Against Bachelors.

Bachelors have hard time in the
Argentine Republic. There a law
inflicts fine upon any person of
manageable age who rejects pro-
posal. Here is the statute: People
of manageable age of either sex
who refuse an offer to wed without
reasons which are considered valid
in law shall not be permitted to mar
ry thereafter without the permits
sion of the government. They shall,
moreover, pay an indemnity sum Of
not moro than f100 to the person
whose offer they have refused.
Young men and women under 20
years old are exempt from the law
and can marry as they please. Aft
er they are % the men are obliged
to pay heavy tax if they remain
single. The women propose as we'll
as men, so an unmarried young man
between 20 and % years old in that
country has a troublesome time.
Not only is he made to pay a tax
for being bachelor, but if he re-
fuses proposal he has to pay the
proposer fine. Naturally, there
are few old maids in Argentina

English Restaurants.

Americans when they first come
over to this country can rarely quite
tumble to the peculiarities of our
English restaurants. A wealthy
Yankee friend of mine who was over
here little while ago to complete
the formation of an important Inns
tied liability company thought it
would be good thing to invite all
those concerned in London to lunch
con one day. Accordingly he went
to the manager of one Of the most
celebrated of our fashionable res
taurants and after engaging pri-
vate room gave instructions that no
expense should be spared to make
the meal astronomical success,
the only proviso being that he
should select his own wines.
Everything passed off splendidly
until the cigar and coffee stage was
reached, and the host asked that his
bill might be brought to him. He
assured me that he had never felt
smaller in his life than when the
head waiter, in the hearing of the
assembled company, approached
him and in loud voice asked, "And
how many breads have you had,
sir2" "Just as though had been
busily engaged in counting up how
many rolls my guests had eaten!"
| was the nertinent remark NV friend
made on recounting the experience
to me afterward. OF course in
America no charge is made at all
for bread. Why is the custom not
generally introduced over herei-

Big Simmons.

On the right hand side of Wall
street, a little beyond the old Feder-
al hall, which stood where the pres
ent subtreasury building now is,
was the tavern of Big Simmons,
who 100 years ago was the biggest
man in New York in more senses
than one. He was the autocrat of
the bonifaces, and his house was
frequented by all the men of conse-
quence in the city, state and nation.
Jefferson, franklin, Hamilton,
Chancellor Livingston and even
Washington were guests of Big Sim
mons at one time or another and en-
joyed the warmth of his huge log
fire while they quaffed his nut
brown ale. The majesty of Big Sim
mons person was such that he
might be called the personifcation
of good eating, insomuch that no.
body ever saw him standing at his
own door without being smitten
with an irresistible propensity to
call in and partake of good cheer.
A biographer of Big Simmons,
writing reminiscently in the New
York Mirror of 1881, says: "a
proper biography of Big Simmons
could be comprised in nothing less
than an imperial folio of a thickness
corresponding with the size of his
person. If, as is practically demon
strated in the present age, the in
diligence of the appetite lies at the
root of human happiness, of a sure
ty Big Simmons was one of the
greatest benefactors of the human
race. But the greatest of men must
die, as did Xerxes and Big Sim
mons, and when this accident hap
pened to the latter it is affirmed that
his friends were obliged to cut away
the doorposts to afford room for his
coffin to pass. New York Times.

MEN AND WOMEN.
The Correct Weights and Proportions as
Measured by Artistic Standards.

The Correct Weights and Proportions as
Measured by Artistic Standards.
It 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 we'll. 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 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 S feet s inches; 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 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 16,
they nevertheless do not show SO
perfect a development of form as
when "a or more.
Women have tendency to put on
too much flesh and should beware
of it, as it destroys the proportions
and the looks as we'll as the pleasure
Of moving about. A short woman
cannot weigh much over 1870 pounds
and preserve the proper proportion,
while the woman who measures S
feet inches or more looks we'll

Linooln'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's well to get a bucket of
water. please, Mr.. Lincoln, may
I get bucket of water9" said she
to the tall young storekeeper. "Of
course you may" responded Lin
coin. II thank you ever SO much"
said the little girl, with a courtesy.
"You are the politest little girl I
ever saw said Lincoln, with a
smile; come into the store and I
will give you present" And this
is how Mrs. Smith came into posses
