A GREAT ADVANCE.

Some of the greatest advances of civilization are made silently. They escape the flourish of trumpets, while other much less important advances are accompanied by incessant drum beating and pyrotechnics. The dim- mutton of the death rate is one of the signal triumphs of modern en- lightenment. It is also one of the most potent checks on economic waste. The average age of each gen. eration is being materially length ened, and that result is chiefly being reached by stopping the excessive loss of infant life. Yet few persons realize the extent of the benefcent progress thus made, or what it has means in the way of increasing the sum total of human happiness and efficiency.

RIVAL TOWNS.

Among the stories that were go- ing the rounds last week was this one: A man from Fayette and one from Glasgow met in Columbia. "So you're from Glasgow" said the Fayette man. "Nice old town, but not laid out so beautifully as Fay ette.' Probably not" said the man from Glasgow, "but when our town becomes as dead as Fayette we shall lay her out beautifully, never fear.

Logan M. Bullitt, discussing grafting in Philadelphia, said the other day:
 "These people have a mixed moral sense. They remind me of Wissa- hickon girl.
 "'Oh, mammal she said, you'll have to discharge the new governess. She's awfully wickedp
 Wicked? How wicked?' said the mother.
 "'She tells us,' said the little girl, Bible stories on week days"

The Gymnasium Class

Honestly" exclaimed Miss Beck. in a tone of disgust, If looked like that Fd-rd refrain from this sort of work and wear kimonos the rest of my lifel"
 The other girls looked where she pointed and beheld a woman of unde- cided years hanging from the stall bars, In an earnest endeavor to cast or, or at least redistribute, some of her superfluous avoirdupois.
 "Oh, don't think she so bad" said Miss Short, anxiously glancing down at her own lower extremities and mak- ing mental comparison. "Of course shes too fat, but she's well propor- toned, think" and she felt her arm, near the shoulder, with an imper- ceptible sigh of relief to find that 1t. too, was proportioned to her other limbs.
 T do hope" sighed Miss Barclay in a tone of perfect content with herself. that this work won't decrease my weight" Then she cast an apprecia- tive eye over her own plump charms.
 Well, all l can say" returned Miss Beck, as at a personal affront, as she peered down, trying to catch a glimpse of her own sylph-like legs completely hidden by the voluminous folds of black bloomers unless she put one forward purposely-"1s that it's lots easier to add than to take away, and as for as I'm concerned I'd hate to see myself in a position where I couldn't wear the present styles with any degree of comfort!"
 Say, just look over in the corner. See that g1rl-or woman, 1 suppose she is-catching the ball Did you ever in your life behold any one quite so much higher in one shoulder than the other?" Miss Father spoke.
 No one except yourself" replied Miss Short unfeelingly. "The director was saying last week that you'd need a seven year course to get you strengthened up from side to side"
 I'm glad it's my shoulders instead of my hips. at any rate," retorted Miss Father, maliciously glancing at her tormentors slightly ungeometrical pro portions.
 Well" said Miss Garvin tranquilly, I'm waiting to be told of my chief deformity. Or must I wait until I've been here a while longer?" She viewed the mirrored image of her perfections with calm approval. While you peo- pie are striving to get back to normal I'll be so far ahead of you in the grace full art that I'll be talking only the sign language. It's too bad that my friends are mostly deformed and crip- pled!" and she deXterously caught ball that came whizzing her way.
 "No, dearest" cooed Miss Beck, you aren't as perfect as you think. But you don't learn of your imperfec- tions until you've had a few lessons. It took me three before I was inform ed that I had one shoulder too high one hip too large and bad case of swayback, You're a mere kinder gardener at it. and, of course. you cant yet understand! But you'll learn. So contrive to be happy, dear, until you have come to earth! You are young and you are beautiful, but you may be knockkneed or pigeon toed or bowlegged or even swayback, for all you know It isn't my place to inform you, but you'll be informed in due season." She gave Miss Garvin look of compassionate pity!
