Tar beyond those who have been train
ed on foreign soil to reach a perfect
physique. The American woman re-
ferred to is Miss Grace Matson of
Brooklyn. An art club at the French
capital selected Miss Matson as an ex-
ample Of perfect shapeliness and ex-
tended her an invitation to sit for them
for their next picture at the salon.
Miss MatsOn on the Arm.
A reporter for the New York Press
called upon Miss Matson the other day
and asked for her views upon the sub
ject of arms, concerning which she
must be stocked with interesting and
unusual information.
Il certainly think" said Miss Mat
son, ''that the arm is one of the most
beautiful attributes of womankind, and,
as fashion and polite, refined society
has decreed that it may be displayed
without FORGETTING the modesty woman
should never permit to grow dulled,
think it is a subject that may be ap-
preached with the same freedom as a
discussion on eyes or hair. l want to
begin by saying that the American wo-
man has the most beautiful of all arms,

the same measurement in inches at
any two spots along its entire length;
it should be a constantly changing
curve from elbow to the body, and from
the elbow to the wrist the line of beauty
should be more pronounced and the
swell of the flesh greater. If any mus
cles show themselves they, of course,
destroy the beauty at once and entirely.
Muscles are pleasant to look at when
in their proper place, but they do not
belong OF a female arm. They indicate
power, which, while a woman may pos
sess it, she should never permit it to
become apparent. A shapely shoulder
is where it slopes quickly from the
throat to the arm, not the slope that
is called coffin shape, but the happy me-
dunn between that and the squareness
of the man. The English shoulder is
lot EXCEPTIONALLY square, but it is terri
bly, sparse of flesh; the small bones Of
the throat and the larger bones of the
shoulder blade are so glaringly in evil
dence as to rob the display of attrac-
ton.
The shoulder Of the French woman
is a trife too square, and that of the

neglected or ignored than the physique
Of the college graduate, and, happily,
the tendency Of the present is 70 re-
gard this culture with a more sensible
and a more rational concern than here
tofore. The American girl at this mo-
ment is a grander type Of nature in
her carriage, her health, her self-re-
lance, her ability, her physique, than
S the girl Of any other nation on earth.
And this convdition is gaining recognl-
ion more and more every day. Our pa
pers and our magazines are showing us
N almost every issue the distinctive
feature and characteristics of the real
American woman, while she herself in
flesh and blood is forcing the same
truth upon our cousins across the sea.
1t is, therefore, not untimely to hear the
testimony Of one American woman who
has had the pleasure of a foreign recog-
milton as a perfect type of womanhood
and who r~ejoices in the distinction be-
cause it has demonstrated in a country
where much stress has always been
laid upon physical culture that an or
binary American girl in the normal con-
dition of American girls generally is

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
rs the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling n
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

Wrongly Blamed.

A Washington dispatch I'M
der June g., says. "Dispatches
received by the commissioner
of Indian affairs show that
there is little danger of an out
break amonh the Cheyenne In
Indians on the lounge River
agency. The scare of a few
days ago arose over two acts of
lawlessncss which on inyesti-
CATION were found to have heen
committed by whites and not
by Indians. A calf was killed
and a haystack burned. 1t was
tihoughfby the settlers that In.
dams were responsible for both
acts, but it has been found that
a white man killed the calf.
and a white boy fired the hay"
It was such an act by white
men, an almost p~arrelel1 to the
above, which led to the first
massacre of whites by the
Sioux in the history of that
people. This was what is
known az the Spirit Lake Qa.j
massacre, in which about forty
people lost their lives.
