THE NORMAL WOMAN.
Her Exact Proportion* In l*lnln Fig
■ rra, with Soine Note* on the
Cultivation of Ileauty.
Female beauty according- to famous
artists and sculptors is a question of
proportion merely, and, since this is
so, a large number of women will be
surprised to see how nearly they con
form to physical perfection by finding
a striking similarity between the sculp
tor's ideal and their own forms. When
these proportions do not agree in the
majority of cases the figure has been
marred by injudicious treatment —tight
corsets, small shoes, lack of proper ex
ercise, etc.
Let the length of the head be what it
will, a woman's height should be seven
and a half times its length, or ten times
the length of her face, or nine times the
length of her hand, or six and a half
times the length of her foot, or. with
arms outstretched, from finger to finger
exactly as she does from head to toe.
The exact proportions for a perfect
woman should be five feet four inches;
weight, 135 pounds; bust, 36 inches;
waist, 25 inches; hips, 37 inches; thigh,
25 inches; calf, 1414 inches; ankle, 8
.inches; hands, 7 inches; feet, 10 inches.
The distance between the temples
should be the exact length of the face;
the arms should be three times the
length of the head, and the shoulders
should be two heads in width.
Beautiful eyes are wide open with
heavy lashes and delicately penciled
eyebrows. Beautiful ears are set close
to the head and must be small and deli
cately shaped. The perfect hand need
not be small —it must be in proportion
to one's height—but it must be well
shaped with gradually tapering fingers
and curved nails. The perfect foot has
a high instep. This is the possession of
but few women because of their badly
fitting shoes. A beautiful neck and
shoulders are prizes which every young
woman may possess if she is willing
to pay the price. The rules for their
cultivation are simple—by wearing
loose clothing so that one's movements
may be free, and by wearing shoes with
low heels; by taking plenty of sleep,
daily baths, plenty of exercise, fresh
air (night and day), simple, nourishing
* ood, and a course of gymnastic exer
jlse to insure uniform development.

of her beauty at the age of

The latest craze is to have your walk

flowers have been in pretty general
vogue for the corners of trains and the
edging of over-draperies.

WOMAN LEGISLATORS.
Idaho Has Three In tlie I,«»wer Home,
and They Have All Made
Good Iteeorda.
A woman suffrage amendment was
carried in Idaho in 1896, and in 1898
three women were elected to the house
of representatives, Mary A. Wright,
Clara L. Campbell and Ilattie F. Noble,
all of whom have fulfilled their duties
to the complete satisfaction of their
constituents and with credit to them
selves.
Mrs. Wright, the representative from
Kootenai county, the extreme north
ern part of the state, is a teacher bj'
profession and has long been recog
nized as one of Idaho's most success
ful educators. Both herself and hus
band are heavy taxpayers. She has al
ways taken a lively interest in edu
cational and other public affairs and
while she has made a study of public
questions and is well posted—as any
gentleman will learn who undertakes
to argue politics with her—she is not
a professional politician in any sense of
the word.
The nomination came to her unso
licited, and it was only after persist
ent argument that she consented to
become a candidate. She received her
MRS. MARY A. WRIGHT.
(Member of the Idaho House of Repre
sentatives.)
nomination by a two-thirds vote of her
party, and while she spent her cam
paign in the schoolroom, making but
one campaign trip, and that when she
was invited to meet the people in the
remotest part of her county, at Boom
er's Ferry, she was elected by a large
majority.
She is an active worker in primaries,
county and state conventions and has
served on some of the most important
committees in these conventions.
While in the legislature she was chair
man of the engrossing committee, a
member of the committee on education,
and of the committee on privileges and
elections; she was also appointed on
a number of special and honorary com
mittees, and was appointed to preside
over the house while that body was in
a committee of the whole, and is said
to have wielded the gavel with dignity,
fairness and impartiality.
Mrs. Wright is a refined and cultured
woman, performing her political du
ties in a quiet, dignified manner, that
completely silences all opposers. She
has made hosts of friends during her
stay at. the capital.
She began her political work in 1894
and worked hard during the campaign.
During the campaign of 1896 she
worked for the suffrage amendment,
not as a political issue, but as an act
of justice to women, appealing to all
parties. She says that it is so difficult
for them to understand the prejudice
that exists in the east and says:
"I only wish the eastern states could
see us enjoy our freedom, and we are
just as feminine as though we had
never exercised the franchise, and our
husbands, fathers and brothers are just
as fond of us as they ever were. Oh!
how I wish the east could understand
as we do."
THE CHILD'S MIND.
Ilroaden It by LrtllnK Illin Look Into
Kvery Pliane of Lift* an a I'art
of Ilia Education.
Expand the child's mind by sliowitg
him from time to time scenes from all
sides of life. Take him to-day to
studios and let him see how pictures are
made; next week to silk factories, to
learn the poetry of labor, and afterward
to a brick-yard and hu iron-foundry,
not forgetting the claims of great
churches and monuments upon an ele
vating education. The alternation of
city and country is a delightful stimu
lant. When travel is possible we should
give the child glimpses of mountains
and sights of the sea, and let him'be
come acquainted with mountaineers
and fishermen, even as he ought in town
to know something of the ways and
thoughts of the workmen, so that he
may conic to feel sympathy with all
sorts of people and understand the
merit of labor. Actual experience of
this kind is worth infinitely more than
the theorizing in school-books. It is
not particularly interesting to a child
to read that he should be grateful to all
the people who supply him with his
daily comforts; to the farmer, the
baker, the manufacturer, the builder,
lint when he sees how grain grows and
Is converted into flour; how furniture
is wrought from blocks of wood, and
threads woven into cloth, the whole
history of the objects about hint is re
vealed. The different parts of life be
come connected and he gets a sense of
the thread of harmony that runs
through it all. And he has a moment of
satisfaction, coming through a feeling
of kinship with the world, which is
more useful than gratitude upon gener
al principles.—Florence Hull Winter

NEW PAVING MATERIAL.
Oakland, Cal.. IN Try 111 K nn KiperU
mcnt with ANplialt anil Hed
nood lllocks Combined.
Fifteen or twenty years ago a good
deal was heard of wood pavements for
streets. They were quiet and smooth
and fairly well suited to the residence
districts of a city, but did not stand
the wear and tear of heavy traffic very
well. Then, when the blocks became
worn and rotten, as they did, they ab
sorbed disease germs and lessened the
salubrity of the neighborhood. Of late
wood pavements have goile out of fash
ion almost entirely. Something new
in this line is now reported from Oak
land, Cal., however, and it may pruve
so successful as to revolutionize the
ideas of civil and sanitary engineers.
In Oakland the wear and tear comes
on a layer of asphalt which covers the
wood and not directly on the latter.
The blocks are six inches square and
four inches deep. They are laid on a
bed of concrete, after having been
soaked in hot asphalt. A mixture of
hard asphalt and California liquid as
phalt, in equal parts, raised to a tem
perature of between 350 and 400 de
grees Fahrenheit, is employed. The
interval during which immersion lasts
is from thru to five minutes. This treat
ment renders the blocks waterproof.
They are then laid from curbstone to
curbstone.
A mixture of asphalt and carbonate
of lime is heated and poured upon
the wood pavement. This is so soft a
liquid that it runs down into all the
interstices, and even works its way un
der the wood, if there are any holes
there. Not until the fluid has been
poured on three successive times is the
surface properly covered and the spaces
between the blocks well filled. Sand
to the depth of a quarter of an inch is
rolled into the asphalt when the last
application has been made of the lat
ter. The Mirpet thus formed has so
hard a surface that it withstands ordi
nary light traffic for two or three years,
it can be rtnewed at an expense of less
than half a cent per square foot. Re
newal seems to be necessary where red
wood is used, but hard wood can re
main bare for a longer time without in
jury.—N. Y. Tribune.
To Keep Out Tul»e""rulonl«.
In keeping the herd of dairy cows
free from tuberculosis a few general
! rules at least should be observed. First,
know that the herd is free from the dis
ease. Then do not bring a new cow into
, the herd unless she has been first tested
by tuberculin. If milk is taken to a
creamery and skim-milk brought back,
do not permit it to be used fill it has
been pastuerized. This will not only
make it safe to feed to calves, but if it
is fed to pigs will also prevent the dis
ease being spread in that direction,
which means its getting a foothold on
the farm. Do not under any circum
: stances permit strange cattle to run in
; the pastures or occupy the stables.
Above all, do not permit a consumptive
person to take care of the cows,—Farm
erg' Review.
