certain indications that the ttpical
. american woman is taking on flesh.
Europeans generally concede that our
American women are handsome, though
they say they are so fragile that they
early lose their freshness, and with it
much of their beauty. They particularly
remark the tendency of our women to
grow thin with years, while we remark
the tendency of their women to the ac
cumulation of flesh as soon as they have
passed their youth, and often even be
fore that period. While we must allow
that our women are, for the most part,
lacking in roundness, there are' few of
us, we imagine, who would not infinite
ly prefer the New World slenderness
to the Old World stoutness. A medi
um between the two might be the stand
ard of the becoming, and this medium
we seem to be approaching, slowly per
haps, but steadily. The opinion of the
thinness of the feminine part of the na
tion is pased rather on what has been
than on what is. The majority of our
women are still too thin for beauty, but
they are less lean than they were twenty
five or even fifteen years ago.
This fact for fact it unquestionably
is can scarcely have escaped observa
tion. It is noticeable everywhere, par
ticularly in large towns and cities, and
is due to different causes, all of which
are easily recognized. The fleshiness of
a people depends largely on the age and
development of their country. Where
everything is new, and, in a certain
sense, raw, as is this land, their is very
little leisure or repose. Our entire en
ergies are directed to our advancement;
our minds are absorbed by thought of
the future and what it promises. We
hardly take time to get flesh; we think
and fret off that which we have acquir
ed, instead of acquiring more. Our
women do not perform so much physical
labor as our men, but they work longer
in their way,' and worry more; and anx
iety or any other form of mental disturb
ance insures meagerness as nothing else
doe3. These live too much through
the mind to live quite comfortable
through the body, and the body suffers
in consequence. In the Old World
everything is fixed. The inture is not
likely to be different from the present;
there is email occasion for wistf ulness
or solicitude. Material conditions aro
not usually so favorable as here, but
they aro permanent, and by their perma
nence, especially by the clear under
standing that they are so, they beget
content, whence adipose matter. Ameri
can women neither work nor worry as
they used. The republic is more devel
oped, things are more settled, somewhat
of the European feeling is creeping into
the national miDd, and less thinness is
the result.
American women take vastly better
caro of themselves than formerly. They
have more acquaintance with hygienic
laws, and hold them in far higher es
teem. The days when they exposed
themselves to dampness and wintry cold
in thin slippers and silk stockings; when
they abstained from their flannels
next the skin; when they pinched their
waists to semi-suflbcation; when they
sacrificed comfort and health to what
they conceivod to bo their appearances
those foolish and unhappy days aro
gone forever, have barely been known
to the raising generation. Our women
now have no mawkish, morbid notions
as to themselves; they no longer think
that to be unhealthy is to be attactive;
that individualism and intercstiugncss
are synonymous; that pale faces and
compressed lungs are tokens of beauty.
They dress seasonably; they wear thick
boots and warm clothes in bad and cold
weather; they allow themselves to im
proved, not injured, by the wholesome
change. There are exceptions, many of
them, doubtlesss, but the rule is as we
have described, and the exceptions' are
constantly diminished. It may be safely
said that sensible women are becoming,
if they have not become, converts to na
ture, and that they heed her behests, re
cognizing the great principle that what
is not natural cannot be beautiful.
Little more than a quarter of a cent
ury ago young American women were
ashamed to show a hearty appetite in
public. They were affected with the
Byronic philosophy; wanted to be
spiritual as if all true spirituality did
not rest on sound physical conditions
and to look elegantly wretched. Many
of them had half their wish; they
looked wretched, but not elegant. They
were charged with drinking vinegar, eat
ing slate-pencils, and committing other
monstrous absurdities. They may have
been nnjnstly accused, but their theories
warrant the accusation. All such non
sense belongs to the past. American
women to-day eat as much as they want,
and more wholesome food than they
once ate ; they walk more, court the open
air, cultivate their bodies as well as their
minds, believe in perfect digestion, un
broken sleep, the glow and glory of un
blemished health. No wonder their
proportions are fuller, their cheeks more
blooming, their eyes brighter, their
steps more elastic. The growth of the
country and their common sense are
serving them generously.
The scrawny, sallow.'peaked woman,
if she be educated and fairly placed, will
ere long cease to be the type of the middle-aged
American woman. With the
steady growth of the republic, the in
creased ease of circumstances, and their
complete health, American women will
be comelier and rounder than they have
been. External and internal conditions
assure this. They are not likely to be
come gross, as so many of their Euro
pean sisters are; the character of the
country, its institutions and its atmos
phere, with their own temperament, will
preserve them from that.
Physiology protests against the
strained and artificial attitude which
the horse is compelled to assume, and
which must certainly lessen his power
of drawing weights. Humanity and
common-sense protest against the in
fliction of this constant gagging strain
upon the sensitive mouth of an animal
whose mouth is used by the driver as
the principal means of guiding and di
recting him. Nor can any one who has
any real knowledge of or pleasure in
the study of animal foruisfeel otherwise
than gratified at the free an .1 n nf- re
strained attitude of ahorse driven with
out bearing-reins. No good coachman
uses bearing-reins for a horse from which
he desires to get the full amount of
work, or which he desires to leave at
ease. Their employment is, indeed
mearlya senseless fashion which has
absolutely nothing to recommend it
and in favor of abolition there are rea
sons so many and decided that we hope
that not many years will pass before
they are not only disused but forgotten.

Bismarck at Home.
A century ago, when Berlin was sur
rounded by walls which continued to
exist until about 1800, the upper portion
of the Wilhemstrasse was the quarter
of the town chiefly afflicted by adminis
ters and diplomatists. Bismarck s resi
dence, laying exactly half-way between
the Leipziger and Wilhelmstrasse, is a
one-storied building, devoid of every
external ornament. The frontage is ex
tensive, and embraces about twelve win
dows The entrance to the house is on
the ri"-ht-hand side. After having cross
ed through the large portico, one ar
rives at a staircase, symbolically guard
ed by two sphinxes' heads. On the
ground-floor are official bureaus, and
up-stairs the private rooms of the Chan
cellor. These apartments, furnished at
the beginning of the century, consisting
of a large dancing-room over the gate
way and four large drawing-rooms, re
served for the reception of guests and
other social purposes, look out upon the
street. The large lofty library or study
of the Chancellor is situated at the back,
and commands a view of the magnifi
cent garden. Since Bismarck left in
tercourse with foreign diplomatists to
Baron Bulow, the Secretary of the State,
he seldom appears within the Cham
bers really constituting the Foreign Of
fice. Private telegraph wires keep him
informed of the course of affairs, and he
issues his instructions accordingly.
Formerly the hours chiefly devoted by
Bismarck to work were in the night.
Latterly, however, an increase of his
neuralgic pains has warned him not to
turn night into day. Imperatively ad
monished by his doctors, ho no longer
indulges in heavy drinks notably, por
ter mixed with champagne, which used
to be his favorite beverages. At his
meals only the lightest and most diges
table dishes make their appearance.
He himself draws up every morning
with his chef de cuisine the menu for
the day; and even if ambassadors are
waiting in the anti-chamber, the cook
is received without delay. At table he
notes down such critical expressions on
the dishes as "frop exit," "pas tendre"
for instruction or reproof of his . cook.
His kitchen is overwhelmed by his ad
mires with special delicacies of the sea
son, and productions in which various
provinces excel, such as Weatphalian
ham.Zaueror Frankfort sausages, Stras
burg paes. A lively and entertaining
host, ho possesses the gift, rare in Ger
mans, of causerie', and whilst in Parlia
ment on public occasions his speeches
are delivered with manifest effort, he
is in private an easy and unconstrained
conversationalist.
Bismarck 1 saves Berlin for a spar on
hia favorite country seat, Varzin, which
he pnrchased after the war of 18GC. In
the capital he is rarely met beyond the
precincts of the Foreign Office gardens.
His constant companion in his walks is
Sultan, a splendid Danish mastiff, pre
sented to him by a friend in South Ger
many. His growing corpulence not,
however.disproportionate to his height
has compelled him to give up riding.
His personal presence is almost too well
known to need description. Small feet
and hands, bald head, lofty brow, small
gray eyes in deep sockets, almost hid
den by bushy eyebrows and martial
moustache, now really white, which
covers his month, are the features chief
ly noticeable in tho man. He usually
wears uniform for tho most part that
of the 7th Cuirassiers which consists
either of a while coat, with a cuirass and
a large helmet, or a blue undress coat,
with a yellow collar. He only appears
at Court on stato occasions, alleging, as
excuse for his absence, that standing
fatigues him. The more correct expla
nation is that among the leading person
ages in the encourage of his Majesty are
several of his bitterest personal and po
litical foes. More than once he has al
most come to blows with some of his
fellow-courtiers in the imperial ante
chamber, and an altercation three years
ago witli Count Nesselrode. the Lord
IIigh Chamberlin of the Empress, a
stanch Catholic, was followed by mu
tual challenges to a duel, which the in
terference of the Emperor alone pre
vented. Jj)udon World.
A wood teamster yesterday had some
business to transact with the occupant
of a room in the top story of a block on
Griswold street, and as he reached the
landing of the last flight of stairs his
heel caught and down he rolled, bump
ing from stair to stair, and unable to
catch hold of anything. A lawyer lean
ed over the stairs as he heard the noise,
and shouted:
"You'll strike bottom pretty quick
don't get discouraged !"
" Oh, I know just where I am; I count
ed the stairs when I went up,"- replied
the teamster.
As he landed he rubbed his bruised
back, and looking up the stairs he mus
ed: " I counted fourteen steps going
up and fifteen bumps coming down.
Something wrong with the architecture
of this building." Free Press.
The story of an Oshkosh man who
took up a collection at the funeral of
his wife, which is going the rounds as
illustrating a mean man, says the La
Crosse Sun, is explained by the fact that
the bereaved man is a church deacon,
and for twenty years he had always
taken up a collection while the choir was
singing the second time. At the funer
al, when the choir struck up " Old
Hundred," before he thought what he
was doing he got up and passed the hat
as usual, to raise money to defray the
necessary expenses. When his atten
tion was called to it after the funeral,
and he thought how his motive would
be misconstrued, he felt as bad about it
as anybody. It was not an evidence of
meanness, but a case of absence of
mind.
At a funeral a mourner with a passion
for games of chance finds himself in the
carriage with the heart-broken parents
of the corpse. The procession moves at
a snail's pace, and there is evidently a
long hour's ride before the cemetry is
reached. The mourner stands it as
long as he can, then, placing his hands
in his pocket, rattles a few coins signifi
cantly, and, turning to the sorrow
striken father, whispers: "This is
slow, isn't it? I will flip you just once
for a five." Paris wit.
This is the season of the year when
the average clerks talks carelessly for
a few days about Saratoga, Long Branch

his valise, bids all his friends adieu,

and takes the stage up to the country
to help the old folks to get in hay for a
week or two. Bridgeport Standard.

'What Shall be Done Willi Our Irl

A short time since this question was
propounded by the Kan Francisco Evening Bul
letin, but as vet no satisfactory answers have
been given. It is not alone that the 1300 or
1400 convicts at present confined atSan Quen
tin should be employed, but provision should
be made- for as many more, for, taking tho in
crease for the last two years as a basis, in ten
years time the number will be doubled. Tho
State is just now about completing two hundred
more cells, whose tenants are now waiting to
occupy them. The clay for bricks seems to be
pretty nearly exhausted, and it never has been
made profitable either to the contractor or to
the State.
There have been a number of attempts made
to employ the prisoners at different kinds of me
chanical work, which have utterly failed. Con
tractors cannot afford to risk so much upon un
certainties, conseqnent upon changes in admin
istration, Increased insurance rates and addi
tional risks of all kinds. True, the State offers
great inducements to those that are willing to
embark in the enterprise, but very few have
hitherto availed themselves of the offer. The
California Manufacturing Company have been
successful. They work a large number of men,
part of them upon furniture for the million,
which looks well and is sold so cheap that the
poor can afford to buy it. They have a large
number of free men and some prisoners that
work on the finest work, which is said to be the
only furniture niude in tho State that will stand
the climate of the interior. They have samples

common class manufactured in the city, and de

Some years since, early in tho winter, I took cold,
which as usual settled into a severe cough, whicli

had Knowledge of. My family physician also
prescribed for me, but I experienced no relief,

down, i Ming flesh and strength, until my friends
as well as myself became very jnucli alarmed,
thinking I should waste away in consumption.
Whilo in Dot-ton, during the Spring following, I
was induced to try YI stab's Balsam of Yild

that it was relieving me; in ten days time my
cough had entirely ceased, and I was soon res

I take great pleasure in informing you that the
Truss I purchased of your firm last November lias
COM PLKTELY CURED the Rupture with whicli I
had suffered FOUR1KKN YEARS. Within three
years past my Ilerni or Hunture had grown rapidly
worse, while wearing an ordinary truss, and the In
testine passed down whenever I coughed, blowed
mv nose or strained toiifi; no common truss could
prevent it: aud then the pain was torture.
After I wore one of vour PAT EST MAGNETIC
ELASTIC TRUSSES for FOUR MONTHS, I no
ticed that the intestine did not puss down in the
least, even when 1 strained to my utmost, and what
was mv troublesome Hernia was ENTIRELY
CURED, and so remains to this day.
I freely write yon concerning my cure because
I feel it to be a duly I owe to you aud to other fellow
kind who are similarly alllicted.
Yiu are at liberty to print this letter should von
think proper, and if inquirers desire further partic
ulars, they may address me for one month at Wood
land, Yolo County, Cal.
I am. most respectftOlv vnurs,

J. hnlf of the women suffer from Aneaiy or Thin
lt.i- : that is tosay, that tbe quantity of red grioo
ul", wau-h predominate lu a healthy and vigorous
bloit i is in their cases too small. The basis of these
red Kiohuies is I RON. which their internal ecf-nomy
fails to furnish in sufficient quantity.
The basi of this new and wonderful medicine is
also IRON, which is easily assimilated by the sys

which it so much wants, and which is so iiinipensi
Me to that real enjovment of life, commonly called
Pkrkf.cti.y Goon 1 1 &a r.Tit.
One of the (treat qualities which will maice this
precious preparatiou largely popular is that oii'-e
the Blood has obtained the quantity of Iron it neei's
it will not absoi b any more of it: there is therefoi
no fear of bad consequences to tie entertain- d
Hhoiild a person use it when not needed.
Therefore, if you perceive any of the symptoms
above described, or in any way have the least cause
to think that your Blood is thin, do not hesitate a
moment lo have recourse to our RKD BLOOD, and
stick to it until you feel a radical change; unuer i-s
iuiluence you will perceive your cheeks pradna!iv
redden; your energy, moral aud physical, will be
strengthened, aud you will discover what a good
thing it m to live when one is healthy.
Anemy or Thin itlood is not only a disease by it
self, but it preCisposes one to any other diseases,
prevalent or under whose influence you may be
unconsciously Ljwowu why, then, uot get rid at
