MODERN WOMEN LACK GRACE
Famous Artist Says Fair Sex Never

self so Badly.

Marcus Stone. r c., the famous
artist, says: Il do not believe that
women-or men either, for that mat
ter-have ever walked or carried
themselves as badly as they do now,
the women with their elbows out,
their shoulders up, their necks push
ed forward, the men for the most
part chestless creatures with sloping
necks. Arms were not made to stick
out on either side like jug handles.
of course, as an artist I am at
war with fashion and its constant
changes-which prevent woman
evolving a dress which expresses her
individuality-but especially with tho
fashion OF wearing corsets, which, to
my mind. destroy the outlines of the
figure and cramp the freedom OF
woman's movements. Never before
In my life has woman been SO much
imprisoned and laced up as she is
today-that Is to say, of course, all
except the willowy women, whose fig
ures accord with present fashion.
How can she move gracefully in a
tube which pushes her shoulders up.
shortens her neck. and sends her ell
bows out? The sloping attitude of
neck adopted by men and women I
attribute to the wearing, especially
when young, Of high stif collars. The
least pressure on the back of the
neck sends the head forward, and
thus habit is formed"

SMALLEST OF PosroFFIcEs
How the Patrons Of tho Five-Foot Fed
eral Building at Virginia., CAL.
.r Are Accommodated.

Virginia, Cal, boasts Of having tho
smallest postoffice building in the
world. 1t is situated in a lonely spot
on the stage road north Of San Diego
City, iy.e.is maintained for the con-
Vente.rl.S II rich ranch owners in the
vfIsTEo"!. Not more than six or eight
people get mail there, but their let
ters are of sufficient financial impor.
tance for postoffice to be provided
for their use. The postmaster's sal
ary does not keep him in cigarettes,
but he only has to be on duty on the
days when the stage coach is due to
pass. The stage driver drops the mail,
the few letters from Virginia are
handed up and the postmaster pro-
ceeds to distribute the letters, post
cards and newspapers in lock boxes
hung on the outside of the postoffice.
After the scanty mail is distributed
the postmaster locks up the little Of
flee and goes away.
When a citizen of Virginia mails a
letter he does not buy a stamp, but
deposits letter and money through tho
letter drop In the door. If the letter
is heavy one and likely to require
more than one stamp he drops q
quarter or a half dollar in with 1t and
finds his change in his letter box next
mail day. AS the postmaster knows
the handwriting of ever man, woman
and child in the postal district he
never puts the change In the wrong
box. About once a year, generally
near the holidays, registered letter
or package arrives, and then the ac-
commodating postmaster delivers It.
In Virginia registered mail is put in
the letter drop, with the fee, and the
receipt placed in the proper lock box
the same as the change for stamps.
The little postoffice building is con-
structed Of rough slabs of pine, un-
painted and windowless, and Is only
five feet square, and about the height
OF an ordinary man, who can only
stand erect inside by taking off his
hat.

Coronation Sermons.

In the old days. when prelates were
constantly called upon for sermons
on special occasions. they frequently
either paid for q suitable discourse or
begged some competent friend to
lite one for the occasion. Bishop
"Lnson gained general applause in
1863 for sermon preached in West
minister Abbey at a great service on
the day of thanksgiving appointed
to be observed for the signal sue
cesses with which his majesty's arms
had been blessed" An enthusiastic
vote OF thanks was passed by the
house OF lords to the preacher for his
eloquent and excellent DISCOURSE" and
ne was requested to cause the same
to be forthwith printed and pub
lished. It was announced as the
work OF James. by Divine Provi-
dence. Lord Bishop of Worcester" but
many years afterward the fact was
disclosed that every word of this ser
mon had been written for the bishop
by his friend Lord Mansfield. The
sermon contained a glowing panegyric
on the many admirable virtues OF
George H.--London Truth.

Where Scare Are Priced.

The natives of some Of the islands
Of the Pacific are always glad to see
the doctor on his periodical visits. At
Kaiser Wilhelm's harbor the German
government has stationed DR.. Heise-
gang as medical officer. He is a busy
man. Natives by the dozen come to
him, not to be treated for illness, but
to get the benefit OF his professional
opinion on how to scar themselves ar.
tistically.
The natives are very fond Of scars,
and nearly all of them are covered
with specimens which have resulted
from self-inflicted wounds which we're
kept open by frequent scratching or
by the introduction OF foreign sub.
stances like sand, bamboo, shells and
so forth. The excrescence which re-
suits from the average vaccination is
scratched Off at the proper time, and
the resulting large scar is very dear
to the native.
A young islander tahose face and
body are mass OF cuts, bruises and
scars is considered the catch OF the
season by the dusky bellies.

We HAVE LIE GLORY

The question is being asked at New
Haven whether the hftieth anniver-
Fary o. the epoch making combat be-
tween the Monitor and the Merrimac,
which comes on March 9th. shall be
given a special celebration in Connec-
ricut
There appears 10 be no necessity for
celebrating this event since Of itself
Z honors the Constitution state.
The Monitor. designed by Ericsson
knd built in this state by Connecticut
contributions, saved the union navy
on the James rivera and was the fore
runner OF all the ironclad battleships
since built BY the nations OF the world.
The history OF the Monitor sheds a
light and glory upon Connecticut
which no celebration could in any way
enhance. and there appears TO be no
good reason why the jubilance Of the
past should be repeated.
What the Monitor meant for Con-
necticut and for the perpetuating OF
the Union is indelibly inscribed upon
the scroll Of fame. and it should be
accepted as satisfactory without any
special demonstrations, even at the
close OF a half-century of victory and
the blessing which came Of it.
