could overtake her except in case OF
accident. With both screws at work
and a full head of steam on she could
increase the distance between herself
and any ironclad In the Spanish force
by fully three knots, or from four to
five miles an hour, her average speed
crossing the ocean being about twenty
seven miles an hour. which of course
is not her best work by any means.
The Paris would make great prize
even though having no cargo, her value
being about s250O.OoO. Such captures
are possible but, as previously set out,
not likely; at least, we will continue
the hope that the one reported has not

Clothing should always tit properly,
says correspondent If they hang
loosely upon the wearer, they will fail
to adequately protect her from chills
while if, on the other hand, they are
too tight many evils may result from
the construction of the limbs, or, worse
still, of the internal organs. Tight
sleeves, carriers and boots are responsible
for many evils arising from impeded
circulation. while no words can be too
strong in condemnation of the ruinous
practice of constructing the waist by
tight corsets The lungs, heart and
abdominal organs are all thus pushed
out of place, causing present misery and
frequently inducing permanent disease.
Boots also are seldom made to fit the
foot. If the reader will stand barefoot
upon "a sheet OF paper and mark the out
line of her foot with "a Iencil. she will
see at once how little it resembles the
shape of the fashionable narrow toed
boot. Clothing, to fulfill its purpose,
should always be made to fit the wearer
not the wearer forced to accommodate
herself to her clothing.
