as she would supply a musing

I here was a sal history jr c-J!n

was beginning to dominate him.
It was when little Jrne was burn ta.it

celebrating such events by unlimited
treating, and the wile su-'Vered l.etner
anguish that that of the birth tl.roK,
when he stumbled into her pr.seucc in
his niaudhu con-htion.
Alter that his downwnrl course was
rapid; from their neat cottne they went
to tenement room, from rooms to one

Compare a fralley, a Teasel propelled by
oars, wiih the modern Atlantic liner; and
first 1-1 us assume that prime movers are
ncn existent and that this Te&&el is to be
propelled pailey fashion.
Take her length as some COOft., and
assume that place be found for as many
aa 4M oars on each side, each oar worked
by three men, or 2,400 men; and allovy
th.-.t six men under these conditions could
develop rroik equal to one hore-nowcr;
we should have 400 horse-power. Donble
the rmmlier of men and we should have
SOO horse power, with 4. SOD men at work
and at least t he same nuinler in reserve,
if the journey is to be carried ou coutiuu
oiihly. Contrast the pnny result thus obtained
with the lUyVX) horse -power given forth
by a large prime mover of the present
day, such a power reonirini, on thealxive
moilei f calculation, lsK) men at work
nr-.d lit. (.00 ill reserve; and these to be
canhd in a vessel COOX;. iu length. Even
if it were possible to c rry this number of
men in sr.ch it vessel, liy no conceivable

This iliti-t rates how a prin-emovrr may

The taste for miniature paintings on
ivory, an expeusive auid fashionable cue,
has portrait a its subjects.
Hut the collection need not be one of
portraits only. Celebrated French pic
tures are copied on ivory by modern ar
tints, each containing two or i .ore g
ures, and p ake a v-lcAting variety. These
avre act in sl nder frames of ivory, carved
and Ki''h d iu the rococo style, and are
then laid Cat on a square or oval piece cf
vel vet.
Pome Idea of the cost of snch luxuries
my le imagined when the ivory frame
alone costs in. A painting mounted ia
this wny cauuot cost less than fCoO. while
a ainglo portniit, cf umliuiu ti-e, c:ui be
nan ior very much less.

I shouldered when I hid that carefully
folded note under ths cold, whita hand,
but what could I do? trhe had wailed a
long, loug time Kr its tardy coming, aul,
at last, when hope and faith and courage
a.i failed her, the folded her wasted

with watching and praying sj glad to

I found her thus. Iler f.ico firareeTy

My beautiful sister CarWta, Mio

that w as a painful as p:t:abL-.
In a lew das, three or four at tho
most, she received a brief, clnracter!s:io
letter from h--r truant hnsnand, in which
he told ber that he had determined up
on making a fortune for hi.iise'.f, and so
he bad gone to th : oil regions, w here
money was easily and rapidly aecumul
atcd. Carlotta was delighted and chattel
fcayly about the beautiful home we

us as though w; had beeu lu-r own

which the p.xr child watched with rest
less anxiety for letter that 6he never

when trey came she would bo happy

another. -
This went on for a while, and then tho
letters stopped altogether.

it. was in vain that we tried to laugh
at l.er fears, to tell l.er how utterly care
less iluidi was aliout writing; sho knew
he would write to her, that hi would
not forget how nervous slio grew in his

very often. .
And so a year went wearily and sadly
by. I think Carlo! ta had n-vcr realized

especially 1 irge. The guueral exp-ctation
wiiiLh I Ley apparently entertained that
the paper would condemn the wearing of
s'ays was, however, agreeably ili-r.p-poiuted.
Mr. C S. R iy, Prnfessor cf Palhwlorgy
fit Ca nibri. ige, and Mr. J. G. Adrtms, L'ni
vi i-ity Administrator of I'at holeiry, who
had announced a joint paper "On tho
Piiysit lonical BeRriuo cf Waist Belts and

Mtltles.

that a Kdini deal cf the bloodsii rnlu.se-lc-

pr.--.-nre, plaeril ad van' apt cisly nt tl'.e

corsets, at peri; ;!s of iiicrea - 1 t '. ity.
Xo tiouht fashion has sor.:i ri;i.; - led to
tbc i'.i-tortioti of ti e female f: r-ie by

O: course, during sleep t le y ;il e put off,
but during hours of exertion, social or
rs herwise, reasonable tight lacing is fitted
to increase mental and physical acllvity.
They, however, cautioned young ladies
against carrying tnis to an injudicious
ex t re me.
Ky the way, it was suggested to train
ers of Loi-.-es thst if they girthed on the
racing saddle behind the ribs instead of
over them they would thereby -irn fjr
the in.isti the same advantage 11s was
experienced by the long -di-tii..ce runuer
from his broad tight leather-belt.
Several physicians iiuaeuiattiy at
tacked the paper.
Ii Willicrroree f?m?th considered it a
most danperous one to be reail lo an ns
fcenib'.y like that. He declared Ihe evils
of liglit lacing to ba manifold and terriMe,
and that it is perfectly rtfreahim: 1 find
a pirl the muscles of wht so b.-.ck have
not been w ithered by wenring s-tr.ys.
Miss B-cker took the other side and
advocated liid an I not ehi- ie. stays, at
the same lime piving Ler appri'V-il cf
modern fa-bious as better than sums
