RAGING WATERS.
Half Million Dollars Loss in Ten
nessee County.
The rain storm of Friday night
wrought havoc in many sections Of
the country. The principal damage
seems to have been done in Middle
Tennessee, in Rutherford county in
particular.
The floods in that section are the
worst in years. They have resulted
in losses aggregation more than one
million dollars. The streams be-
tween Murfreesboro and Bellhuckle,
Tenn, advanced so fast that the
occupants of many homes were obliged
to seek safety in the second stories
OF their houses until the flood reced-
ed. Traffic on the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & St. Louis and the Louisville
& Nashville railroads to some points
has been stopped owing to the tracks
being submerged. Several hundred

Titled Convicts In Jail.

A Vienna paper states that few peo-
pie have any idea Of the large number
of men and women Of noble birth
undergoing penal servitude on the Con-
tinent, says the London Express.
1t estimates that Russian prisons
alone contain 10000 arlstocrats, while
there are several thousand nobemen
in the penal establishments OF Italy.
Two Dukes of Notarbartolo are, for
instance, at present undergoing penal
servitude for life in the italian prison
of La Maddalena for the brutal muir
der of a young officer whom they had
swindled at card playing and who had
threatened to denounce them as card
sharpers.
Among the convicts in Belgian
prison are Prince Charles dc Looz-
Coswarem, who committed number
of gigantic frauds and one crime Of
violence, and the Marquis Of Yarela,
for the murder Of his own mother
In France there are several hundred
titled aristocrats in prison, and though
no statistics are available regarding
Austria and Germany, the same state
Of things is said to exist there, also.

A Perfect Female Arm.

Measured from the armpit to the
wrist Joint it should be twice the
length of the head. The upper part of
the arm should be large, full and well
rounded. The forearm must not lie too
fat, not nearly so fiat as mans, for
example. A dimple at the elbow adds
beauty to a well proportional arm.
From well nodded shoulder the
whole arm should taper in long, grace
full curves to a symmetrical and round
cd wrist 1t is better to have an arm
that harmoniaes, even If the parts do
not follow the generally accepted lines.
For instance, a full, round upper
arm which is joined to a fiat OF thin
forearm has very bad effect 1t is
only degree worse, however, than a
graceful well nodded forearm tackled
on 10 a thin, scrawny upper arm
Correctness Of form is not the only
thing necessary for n good arm. The
owner must possess The power Of ex-
preston in her arms. Those nationali-
ties which show the most expression in
their arms are the Spanish French and
