Id looking at th& portraits by
trie old masters iu rj-lioyal Acad
emy and at the Gifenor Gallery
one cannot fail to boyBfcruck by ttu;
extremely uupleHsifig; outliue of
the ieniale torm, :et.'i those days.
There are no untiKting lines;
everything is ri gip. and uncoai
piomisiug. The jQOset of those
days must have bam, a kind ol
daily torture, andith result ol
wearing it was eyerxipre hideous
than the terrible "t. asp-waist with
which our own day is so familiar.
The waist itself, iu :hese portraits,
is situated somewh' re in the region
of the hips, an arrangement that
must have greatly inconvenienced
the internal organs, packing them
together like sardines in a tin
oniy rather more so. From tin
waist up to the shoulders there is
a perfectly straight line, sloping
outward, it is truv, but with no
variations from absolute rigidity 01
outline. One thinks with amaze
ment of the pains our grand
mothers must have taken and the
excessive inconvenience they must
have endured in order to destroy
all the grace aid beauty of their
forms as nature made them. Un
compromising stiffness must have
been the characteristic of their
gait, and the high head-dresses
and high heels would in no way
tend to detract from these.
It was curious, at the private
views, to contrast the dress of the
last century portraits with that of
the men and women who came to
look at them. In the matter ol
dress our own period compares
lavorably with that of a hundred
years ago. Little fault couid Le
fouud with the dress of to da ,
were but the hump at the back of
the waist wholly done away with,
and the walking dresses kept sui
fidelity shoit in the skirts to cleer
the ground. There is a tendency
tins Winter to have them Ion
enough at the tacK to dip into th
copious mud. Even short skirts
get muddy on a damp day; when
ttiey are oo long as to touch the
ground the results are neither
pletsaut, cleanly, nor advantage

A STll'EMMUS SCHEME.
Proposed Kailroad Frmii the L'nitcd
Stales to Russian Siberia.
St. Paul. Feb. 20. A stupen
dous railway scheme is being
hatcheu by the Chicago, Minnea
polis and St. Paul men, and al
though the utmost secrecy has been
maintained by those interested,
enough has been learned of the
nn.iect to give a fair idea of what
is proposed.
A gentleman believed to oe in
terested said to-day : The idea is to
construct a road irom the twin
cities ot St. Paul and Minneapolis,
via Bismarck, British Columbia
and Alaska, to Peking. China and
eventually to Irkutsk in Russian
Siberia. "Railroads are already
built to Victoria. Thence the line
will be constructed to Cape Prince
of Wales, on Behring Strait, a dis
tance of 1100 miles. The strait is
thirty-five miles wide and is dotted
with islands. A temporary cross
ing will be made by the boats, but
as the water is not uniformly deep
it is expected that ultimately a
bridge can be erected across the
entire distance with draws of suf
ficient width to permit the passage
of vessels with perfect safety. On
the opposite shore, at East Cape, a
line will be continued to interior
points. Russia is already building
a road to Irkutsk and this line will
be extended to meet the American
road. The gentiemau added to
this, the projectors hnd given the
schema a long and careful consid
eration, and that while it might
look visionary, he had no doubt in
the world it was founded cn solid
principle?; trains, he said, omld
make the distance from St. Paul
to Irkutsk in ten days.

TUB MUKOMOPE.
Its I'ses
Explained By
Wytuc.
Professor
Examiner.
The lecture room -of the Cooper
Medical Institute was well tilled
at 8 o'clock last evening when Pro
fessor Wythe, lectured cn "The
Microscope as a Dectective." The
lecture was highly entertaining,
and teemed with practical illus
tratious whicti . were both amus
iug ami instructive.
in opening his address Professor
VVytiij suid that no invention of
mouen.. or ancient times equaled
iu interest aud
ciiti il useiuliicss
that ot the microscope, rar many
centuries after it was discovered
that a giubule of water contained
muiiiiil vini' power, the use of the
microscopic principle was notutil
;zed. It is only 300 years siuce
Zacharias Jnnseu Uide the first
,:i)iu pound iustrurnent of that kind
ia Holland. Then followed in
provements on the Id method of
uoj listing lenses. The greatest
discovery of Gallileo, that of Jupi
ter's satellites, would be made by
a small telescope which would be
regarded as comparatively Useless
in tliis advanceu age of telescopic
as weil as microscopic search.
These improvements have been so
widespread and beneiicial that nav
igation or commerce cannot dis
pense with the telescope any more
than can medicine or tlie sciences
with the microscope.
"The use' of the microscope
continued the lecturer, ha become
general among tne people of intel
ligence and discernment, its use
aids in the detection of disease,
crime and the abuiteration o; pro
ducts. The microscope is nothing
but an eve, and the eye is nothing
but a window of the soul. But by
its us'j has every portion of the hu
man frame liable to disei ; oeen an
alyzed and the causes as well as ef
fects of disease been discovered.
The study of bacteria by Heck in
1095 with the aid of the microscope
wtis fruitless of results until Pas
teur in 1881 followed Heck's ideas
and actually carried them eut by
the aid of appliances to which
Heck could not have had access.
France was losing 100.000,000
francs per annum by a malignant
silk worm disease until Pasteur
put a stop to the damage by point
inir out the cause ot the trouble
and its remedy, all of which he ob
tained by an intelligent use ot the
microscope. This is said to be the
aire of auuiteratious, and the mi-
crcscopist of experience know it
to be true. The microscope serves
humanity by bringing these de
ceptions to light. With its use we
can detect foreign matter in sub
stances and unerringly point eut
the right irom the wrong. So
wid( spread i& tiiis hao;t ot adu
terahwi; as indicated by microscro
pists, that etfuirs are now being
made at Wasiiiugton to have rigor
ous laws passed prohibiting un
scrupulous men from robbing peo
ple not only of their money, butol
their health, by introducing poison
ous substances into food. It' a re-!
form be worked in this regard it
may be attributed to the use of
that little but useful thing, the
microscope."
Professor Wythe then arose
spoke dt tne microscope and its
uses in the detection of crime. By
its use have murderers been brought
to justice ami accused innocent
men acquited. Its use in courts of
justice has become universal, and
the most skillful forger s efforts
prove fruitless when his handiwork
is displaced for critic:'.! insp-cuoD
beneath use ujicr.5c ;ic d lense.
The physician can detect d.sease,
and the scientist matures most pro
found secrets with its aid. While
the telescope takes us far away to
other worlds, and revea's to us
their hitherto buried mysteries, the
microsjope explains to us the
things of life whiju surround hu
manity, and points out the reme
dies which, if acted upon, will be
of inestimable service to martal
men .
Southern Antidote for Malaria.
It is generally known that Simmons
Liver Regulator is relied upon to
secure immunity from all malarial
disorders. This is proven by its pop
ularity, and anyone who lias lived in

consequences.

CEIELTY TO INSECTS.
A Rird iu TloridaTiial Impales Tlteiii
on Thorns.
Florida Correspondence Kew York Sun.
Of all the birds in this section,
there is one that will afford an idler
lots of amusement if he will spend
an occasio:.ai hour watching close
ly. It is the shrike or butcher
bird. A few days ago I was in an
orange grove a few rods from the
house, where an old darky, with
the assistance of a mule, was plow
ing, and a butcher bird was flying
from tree to tree, following up the
newly plowed furrow-, looking for
insects. Every fewr minutes he
would go to pick up a beetle or iu
sect, and for some time he simply
swallowed his victims. At'tr a
Utile he seemed to have had enongli
to eat, and just then a little flock
of larks were seen running along
in the newly turned furrow, at
times almost touching the old
darky's heels. Ivow and then they
wouid come across an insect too
large for them to easily manage,
and then would begin a little scuf
fle. Then the butcher bird would
sweep down in the center of the
little flock, snatch up the insect
and fly oft' with it before the larks
knew what had happened. The
butcher bird had eaten all he want ed,
and so, with the beetle in his
beak, he flew to the nearest orange
tree and, selecting a long, sharp
thorn, he impaled the insect upon
ir. l watcliea tins t im put. ac
least ten insects on different thorns.
During an hour, besides numeious
large insect , the butcher bird
captured two snakes, the largest ef
which was two feet long and very
lively. These snakes, although
they squirmed and twisted, were
taken with -difficulty to an orange
tree, and afteY a good bit of hard
tugging, they were left with a thorn
through their bodies.
W hen the butcher bird is not
looking for food or for victims to
stick on thorns, he is generally
looking for other birds for the pur
pose of fighting them, and so he
keeps busy from daylight till dark.
Pence on Earth
Awaits that countless army of mar
tyrs, whose ranks are constantly re
cruited, from the victims of neivous
ness and nervous diseases. The price
of the boon is a systematic course of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the finest
and most genial of tonic nerviness,
pursued with reasonable persistence.
Easier, pleasanter aua safer this than
to swash the victualling department
with pseudo-tonics, alcoholic or the
reverse, beef extracts, nerve foods,
narcotics, sedatives and poisons in
disguise. "Tired Nature's sweet re
stored, balmy sleep," is the providen
tial recuperant of weak nerves, and
this glorious franchise being usually
the consequences of sound digestion
i-ud increased vigor, the great stom
achic which insures both is product
ive also of repose at the required time.
Not unrefreshed awakens the individ
ual who uses it, but vigorous, clear
headed and tranquil. Use the Bitters
also in fever and ague, rheumatism,
kidney troubles, constipation and
billiousness.
What am I to lo?
The symptoms of biliousness are un
happily but too we.l known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent.
A bilious man is seldom a breakfast
eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an
excellent appetite for liquids but none
for solids of a morning. His tongue
will hardly bear inspection at any time;
if it is not white and furred, it is rough'
at all events. The digestive svsteni is
wholly out of order and diarrhea or con
stipation may be a symptom or the two
may alternate. There are often hem-
