IDEAL PHYSIQUE.
Few Persons Have the Measurements
of Perfect Proportions

New Orleans Times Democrat
The tailor who spends his life in
taking human measurements could
probably tell an interesting story
about the decline physically of men
and women, said a man who takes
a deep interest in physical culture
and other processes tending to arrest
deteriorating conditions Il doubt
il the measurements taken by tailors
will show many perfect men and
women Too many men are wearing
II collars and too many women are
short on waist dimensions. | was
glancing through Fourman's book
few days ago. and | was struck by
the dimensions agreed upon by the
best and most authentic authorities
and woman. Take the measure
ments, for instance, of the perfectly
pToportioned man, with a height of 6
feet 21a inhes; girth of chest, io
inches; girth of waist So inches;
length of upper leg, 17h inches;
length of lower leg, 141a inches;
largest girtn of thigh. 22h inches;
girth of calf, 16 inches. length of
arm, 26 inches, and weight, 100
pounds. Go to the tailor and ask
him how many men come up to this
standard. | imagine that one would
spend much time before finding the
perfect physical conditions in con-
junction in single man.
The fact of the business is, that
these proportions are the result of
idealistic theorizing. man would
be perfect, indeed, physically, who
could even show a reasonable ap-
Proclamation of this standard. Our
tailor's records would probably dis
appoint us badly, and we would likely
become confirmed Delivers in the doc
trine of physical degeneracy in so far
as members of our sex is concerned
Man has been dwindling somewhat
even in the range of ones own
! memory. One need not go to the
tailor's nor to the vast wealth OF
| statistics which have been complies
| by persons who take a peculiar inter
est in mans physical aspect. One is
conscious of being smaller than ones
father, and less robust, and lacking IL
| that hardness of temperament founC
in the sire and grandsire. Yet the
tailor's record will probably show &
| few isolated instances where mer
have preserved the proportions found
in the physical measurements of the
perfect man. And this, after all, is
| the goal toward which physical cul
ture is drifting. 1t is not so much a
question of larger men in stature,
but rather question of men more
perfectly balanced physically-men
whose parts will approximate at ieasr
the equilibrium found in The perfect
measurements of the physical culture
doctrinaire. If one must weigh 1870
pounds, and stand up to height of
! over six feet, one might as well give
up on the start. But one may at
least approximate the ideal proper
tons, ana this is what physical cul-
ture proposes to do"

OF the range among musicians in
the sixteenth century after part music,
and of the extent to which it was cul-

sitions-it is difficult to give an all

told of DR.. John Bull celebrated
English musician of this period, will
sufficiently illustrate it, Ii was said
that Or. Bull, after having attained
rGeat eminencc in CounterpoiEt went
travelling on the continent to see II he
could learn something new IN the art.
- this course without~ revealing his
name, he engage himself as d pupil
to the orFanist OF st Omer's. One day
this musician took his supposed pupil
into a room connected with this cathe-
dra and showed him a composition
written in forty parts, Boosting that
he had exhausted the resources of
counterpart and that the man did not
live who could add another part to the
piece The pretended pupil asked for
pens ink and music paper, and re-
quested that he be left alone in the
room for an hour or two.
After while he lied in the mu-
stefan. and showed him with rot only
one new part, but forty new parts
added. The musician at first would
not believe It, but upon trying them
over several times and finding them
correct beyond a doubt. suddenly ex-
claimed: you must be either the devil

Removing Ink Stains From Cloth.

The removal of ink stains is always
a problem, because inks are made by
so many processes. Soap and water
will remove some inks, while strong
chemicals make little impression on
others. The sooner the stain is
treated the more easily 1t Is removed.
Washing or soaking in cold water, or
In sweet or sour milk, will remove
the greater part Of the ink and fire.,
quently the stain. Spots on washable
articles should be soaked in milk or
water Rub the spot and change the
liquid frequently. After two or three
days, If stain remains, wet It with
strong solution of oxalic acid and
place 1t in the sun. After this rinse
very thoroughly.-Ladies' Home Jour

He Favors a Joint Congressional
Committee to Consider
Tariff Revision.

Washington, Nov Ex-senator, Nelson
has returned to Washington and will re-
main during the winter. He predicts that
the session of congress opening Monday
will be busy session, particularly for
himself. because of his membership on
the committees on territories and judi
ciary.' the former of which will have the
considera ton of bills to admit the south
western territories as states, and the lat
ter Of the bill to regulate trusts. Senator
Nelson said to-day that he believed some
thing should be done in the way of legis-
lation to regulate trusts although The
would not discuss theI question~of what
shape such legislation should take. He is
waiting for the introduction Of the 8bfll,
which will be given careful consideration
in the committee. Senator Nelson said he
believed there would be no tariff leSisla-
ton this winter. AS between the tariff
commission and the investiga ton of the
tariff question by a joint COMMITTEES of
congress, he said he favored the latter.
"Such a committee should be composed OF
republicans only,'' he said. 1T would
therefore have to be organized from mem
bers Of each house, revisionists. and anti
revisionists each being represented on it.
1t would have to be unofficial in a way;
that is, it could not be named by the
president or authorized by congress, but
would have to be selected by caucuses of
republicans in each house. In this way
whatever revision is decided upon, if any,
would be recommended by real revision
lists and not by wreckers. A bipartisan
commission, appointed. by the president,
would not accomplish anything, as the
democrats on ii would certainly recon-
mend free trade. and the republicans: re-
vision. possibly, but not free trade or fair
trade" -.

SHAMROCK Ills PROGRESS
Everything Possible Being Done tc
Render Her Speedv.

London, Nov. .2S.-Excellent progress is
being made in setting the frames Of the
Shamrock III and everything is ready for
running the lead keel 1t is learned that
the same plan of bringing the midship
frames right down outside the lead of the
keey as adopted in the case of the Sham
rock II. will be followed in, the new chal-
lenger. William Fife considers that cling
ing lead ballast inside the frames in this
fashion permits the use Of lighter frames
than when the lead is bolted outside in the
usual manner. In order to obviate the
possibility of warping the steel frames by
the heat of a large amount of molten lead,
the ballast will be run in quantities Of
about a ton daily. The quantity of lead
to be used is larger than that Of any pre-
vious challenger: giving further proof that
the new obat will have an exceptionally
large displacement.
From the setting of the frames of the
Shamrock III. it is apparent that another
novelty is to be introduced. Instead of a
level draught the whole length of the
keel, the challenger will have a very de-
cided drawing, considerably more aft than
at the forward end Of the Lead

THE "0LEO !" LAW
Its Definitions Not Sufficiently Ex-
plicit to Prevent Oleo From Pos
49, ing as Genuine Butter.
Friends of the Bogus Article Active
in the Late Election in Trying
to Defeat It's Enemies.
from The Journal B"rea", Rson' -, Foss

FROM. The Journal Bureau, Rson, -, Posi-
Building, Washington.
?. Washington, Nov. est is very proba-
BILE that congress will be called upon before
great while by the dairy interests of
the country which secured enactment by
the last session of the so-called oleo law,
to amend the definition of oleo as con-
tanned in that law. At the time the bill
the definition was not sufficiently clear to
protect their industry: subsequent devel-
opments have made them certain that this
is the case.
Under the oleo law the manufa cturers Of
bogus butter are planning Systematically
to continue their work Of deception, and
apparently there will be no way Of reach
Ing them. except through an amendment to
the law which will make the definition Of
cleo more stringent. This amendment
will be discussed in the fifty-eighth con-
gress, although action may be deferred un
til some later time.
This condition Of affairs makes interest
ing the alleged fact that the oleo interests
were back of the candidacy for congress
this year of William Lorimer Of Chicago
who in the fifty sixth congress, as a men,
Der Of the committee on agriculture, rem
dered them valuable service. These in
terests are also under suspicion Of having
placed a many obstacles as possible in the
pathway Of Representative Tawney of
denomination and reelection.
Briefly, the OleO program Of evading the
new law consists in the Introduction Of
coioring matter into palm Oil. and mixing
that Oil with cottonseed OIL so as to give
cleo yellow color. 1t is said that palm
oil will take color easily. and that 1t will
be possible to use it In the manufacture of
oleo under the loosely drawn definition of
cleo in the new law.
1t is very certain that the old struggle
Is to be renewed before a great while, and
that congress is again to be the scene of
action. Naturally, the cleo people desire
to have as many Of their friends in the two
houses as possible, and as few Of their
enemies.
Mr. Tawney when asked by The Journal
man regarding the efforts of the oleo in
terests to influence sentiment against him
IN his district. refused to talk. He said
That the people Of his district were fam
1llar with all Of the essential features of
his campaign this year, and that anything
he might say would not add to their en-
hghtenment. He agreed with the state
ment IN this article. however, that it evil

facturers to evade the present law and
that in time that law must be made more
