Since Galileo's time most people have
believed that the earth revolves on its

what a Philadelphia girl seems to have
done.
"I believe the world does turn round,"

of one who has been troubled with
doubts.
"What is it that has convinced you?"
asked the mother.
"1 can see it whirl when J twist up
in my swing and then untwist."
''Isn't it you that whirls, instead of
the earth?" suggested her mother.
, "Yes, but it goes after . I stop," said
the little philosopher; and that settled
it. Philadelphia Times.
A WOMAN'S WAIST.
Irreparable Injury Done by Tight Lac-."-
- . Id.
It is matter for rejoicing that fashion
is no longer to decree a slender waist as
something indispensable to propriety
and grace. The natural waist of the
woman of average height is about 23
inches, and any less size is attained
only through arrested development, or
compression of means of whalebone and
steel. The amount of room inside these
28 inches is absolutely needed for the
proper working of the machinery of
the internal economy. In spite of this
fact girls very often bind the yielding
ribs into such narrow com pass that the
waist measures 20 or 22 inches only,
and you will now and then hear some !
mother of a family, with a very differ
ent waist now, boast as if it were some
thing to be proud of that when she was
19 her waist measure waa 19 too. It is,
however, of no use to talk to young peo
ple about the injurious effect of com
pression on stomach, hearts lungs, liver
and the arterial system. They axe not
anatomists, and they do not compre
hend the matter nor -want to do so;
they observe that they feel as well now
as they did before, and without weigh
ing the thought that it requires time
to work ruin, take it for granted that
they always will feel ns well, ulthough
they have been told and taught that in
post-mortem examinations it has been
found that wherever tight lacing has
leen the vule, every organ was out of
place and seriously injured. But al
though it does move them n triile to be
told that red noses and eruptive skins
and flat chests arc to be laid to the ac
count of the too slender waist, yet on
the whole neither common-sense nor
auld-wifc wisdom nor doctors have the
power of conviction that fashion does,
and when fashion says that there is no
beauty in a wasp's waist, but that the
linea of nobility and health made by
deep breathing are the really lovely
lines, fragility being something rather
to be feared than loved, why then
fragility begins to be avoided, and the
linea of the Venus de Milo, of the Diana,
of the Pallas, begin to come in.
The babit of tight lacing baa already
done almost irretrievable Injury. If it
were continued there ia no knowing
what ahape it might eventually have
developed. Even no sculptors declare
that a model with a natural, waist,
sloping outward rather than inward,
ia something not to be found, even the
most charming figures otherwise hav
ing the hour-glaaa tendency, in how
ever, slight a form sufficient to spoil
them for posing for anything de
manding the freedom, the beauty and
grace of ! the antique. The Greek
woman supported and stayed her
self with bands of linen, but there
was no compression in the swathe, and
her natural waist made her of a perfect
beauty: and to-day the natural waist
of the Circassian does not interfere with
the reputation of her loveliness. The
adoption of European dress by ladies
of the harem, and of Japan, showing.
as it does, either a want of the knowl
edge of true beauty or a willful aban
donment of its principles, will prob
ably lesd to tight lacing in the orient
just as we are relinquishing it here.
Why anyone should ever have imag
ined that a waist which looked as if it
were going to break in two could be
more at tractive than a waist which
looked capable of supporting its head
and arms and shoulders is a mystery
so great a mystery that the effort to
solve it is to be given up in satisfac
tion over the report that the foreign
creators of the mode have recently
asked themselves the question if the
shape that the Creator chose forhe
human body was one they could im
prove. Harper's Bazar.

A nice little animal story is given in
this month's Xaiure Notes, which raises
the interesting question whether niiev
have a fondness for music. It is con
tributed by abiusicinn. whosavs: "One
evening I was somewhat startled at
hearing my piano suddenly gi ir.g forth
sweet nounds. iipjc.reuTly of its own ac
cord. A mouse, so it provrit. hud got
inside the instrument, ar-d v. .-..! n.a:iir.,7
music on the wires. Whether this was
intentional on mousie's part or not I
cannot say; perhaps he was trying to
make a nest for himself there. Some
years ago, however, while a piano was
being played in the dining-room of my
old home, several mice came out upon
t he hearthrug and began to jump aliou t.
apparently with delight nt the sound of
the music, and one was either so ab
sorbed orovercome by it that hccllowcd
himself to be carried away in a tongs by
the housemaid." After this. Indies
ought to lose their antipathy to mice;
indeed, we may soon expect some hu
manitarian dame to commence musical
parties for their delectation. It would
bo amusing to see them dance, nnd
would form a really humane method of
catching them. London News.

A San Francisco physician was asked
to call at a given address a few days
ago and perform a delicate surgical
operation. The next dav, according to
appointment, he went to the address
given and found it was an undertaker's
establishment. lie decided that ho had
been hoaxed and was just about to
leave when a young man appeared and
told him he was wanted upstairs. lie
went up and found the young medical
student who was to assist and two or
three more men standing around an
improvised operating table in the store
room in which the undertaker kept his
coffins. - Caskets and boxes were lying
all about the room and a big coffin
stood upright alongside the table. The
surgeon was positive it was all a joke
then,' but he was informed that the pa
tient was in a small room adjoining,
ready to undergo tho operation. Ho
was carried in and laid on tho table.
The surgeon hesitated. The coQin be
side tho operating tabic was too sug
gestive. The patient noticed it and ro
.narked, cheerily: "Go ahead, Doc,
you ought to be able to stand it if I
mn." The operation was performed,
but it tried the surgeon's nerve.

According to the "Gotha Almannc,"

queen of England has reigned longer
than any other ruler in the world, hav

to her in point of time are Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria and Fred
crick, the grand duke of Baden. The
monarchs who have reigned the short
est time are Prince Friederich of Wal

The oldest monarch, accord
ing to the "Almanac," is the - pope,
who is more than eighty-three years of
age. The grand duke of Luxembourg
and the king of Denmark, respectively
seventy-six and seventy-five years of
age, stand next to him in this regard.

the annals of the Psychical society.

of the examination I entered the hall

what way I had learnt what i was go

at me. Prof. Pctrany took up Horace
and said to me: "Open at the ode, 'Juo-

'N a young girl's life
there comes a time
when the. careless
innocence of child
hood changes to the
modest, blushing
maidenly self-con
sciousness ot ap.
Iproaching maturity.
The eye is brighter ;
the form is rounder;
there is a touch of
shy coquetry in the
glance: the girl has
become a woman.
She has entered that
critical period so full
of happy possibil
ities, yet so hedged
about with the phy
sical sufferings and
dangers peculiar to
her sex.
It has been said
that to be a woman ia
to suffer. Too often
this is true. A wo
man's whole nature
is so bound up in the
soecinl functions of
her womanhood that any disturbance of this
sensitive organism throws the whole system
out of harmony. "Female weakness"
causes nine-tenths of all the wretchedness
which women endure. It can never be per
manently relieved by "local treatments."
That is generally an expensive, embarras
ing, useless, make-shift. What is needed is
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to reach
the innermost sources of the trouble and
restore health and strength directly to the
internal organs. This stops the weakening
drains which sap life's foundation ; heals
all ulcerated conditions, gives the ligaments
elastic power of themselves to correct mis
placement of internal organs and imparts
tone, vigor and vitality to the entire feminine
organism. In a word the "Favorite Pre
scription " inake9 healthy, happy women.
