godera Wasp Walata
A study of the matter of proportion in
the bureau, figure during the last fifteen
years, led us long ago to thebelief that the
average eivilized woman, at least in this
country, has a waist too smellier the rest of
her body. We will not venture to say, as
seine irascible critics have oak", that the
earrow waists a our American women
are productive of waspishuess of temper,
but we have demonstrated by a very
earefel study of the matter in hundreds of
oases that smallness of waist in woman is a
deformity, and is invariably eonneeted with
other deformities, such as prolapsus of the
stomach and bowels, dilatation of the stom-
ach, prolapsus of one or both kidneys, die

placement of the womb, congestion and dia.
placement of the ovaries, and other morbid
conditions which grow out of those men-
tioneds It is 8,8111611 waist whtclt renders
the American W0111101 ED mach of an invalid,
and. so feeble, when compared with man,
that she has come to appropriate without
remonstrance the appellation, " the weaker
vessel." What is the.proper waist propor-
tion'? is a question wineh has been earnestly
asked by those who are seeking ahrough
phyzieal culture and the adoption of a
healthful mode of dress, to aquae natural
symmetry and proportiou.
We have endeavoured to solve this ghes-
tion by the study of the waists of peasant
women and the women of savage or semi
-savage tribes, and lastly by a careful seedy
of the proportion of ancient statue of
women. We made the basis of onr study
the relation of the waist immure to the
height of the individual. Tills proportion
is obtained by dividing tho waist immure
by the height, the result being the percent-
age of the height represented by the waist.
In the Venus de Milo we find the
waist to be 47.0 per cent. of the
height, while in the average American
diderence between these two meaearements
must just show the difference between
robustneee and abundant vita ty, and weak-
ness, suffering, disease, end hiefileiency.
.30 iuches. A waist 40 per cent. of the
women it is less "an_ 40 per cent. of the
height, wisich means a. difference of several
inches.. A woman five feet four inches in
height, with the same proportions as the
Venus de Milo, would have a waiet measure

Be Stralzht.
There is every reason tor maintaining an
erect position in standina or walking, and, of
being straight even in a sitting position,
but no reason can be In ought forward why
any one should be erooked, exeept that of
natural or ateadental deformity. It should
maul- ,1 personal pride with every
one to be etre igh t, because by being straight
one ac pie that great privilege which God
has given to humanity only t namely, the

right position, all the bonee Joints, anti

to maintain this ereat posture without fa-
tigue,
.A second reason why every one—boy,
girl, nuns or woman—should try ley force of
the will to be straight, is that greats of fig-
ure and movement is impassible with a
crooked, stooping body, which not only
gives an appearance of ungainliness and
awkivarsinesa, hut of positive stupidity and
slowness of temperament, if not oz eettreme
dullness and laziness amomiting to sloth. It
is quite possible, indeed it frequently hap.
pens, that where there is natural deformity
of the spine, the intellect is exceptionally
bright and quiek, but it at very diffiesilt, as
a general thingeeto associate a keen intelli-
gence with deformity brought on by care-
lessness and sloth.
A third and most im.portaut reason why
people should elision:oar to be straight is for
health's sake; because a beay bent forward
by the shoulders and mid -spine, ceusea
compression of the vital organs, the true
place to bend the body being the hips.
Many persons do not know this, and con-
sequently err ignorantly ; insteati of keeping
the head erect and the sheublers well batik
and bending forward, when necessary, from
the hips, they round their shoulders, orook
their spines and imam their heads and neeks
forward in a most ungainly manner, con-
tinuing this habit until by force of habit the
position becomes natural.
With the majority of cases these deform-
ities commence in early youth, the child ac-
quiring a habit of lounging at desk or table
with the head down, the shoulders round-
ed, and the spine curved oetward, and as a
consequence the stomacli and abdomen
drawn in and -compress d. This habit in-
dulged in through the child's growing years
calms ill health and consequent deformity.
Diphtheria and Croup.
One of the most conclusive clinical argu-
manta of their identity is afforded by the
fact that in some of the large European hos-
pitals cases of °rollp end diphtheria are
placed. side by side in the saane ward, and
the cases of croup do not become infected ;
-while it is not rare for diphtheria to devel-
op in a family in which an apparent case of
croup has been present. Fraenkel held au-
topsies in four cases, clinically typical in-
stances of croup, and perfectly so demon-
strated by autopsy. Examination of. the
membrane present in each case discloeed the
presence of the bacillus of diphtheriadescrib-
ed by Klebs and Loeffler, the identity of
which was assured by its morphologic ap.
pearances, by its behavior in culture, and
by its pathogenicity to animals. --[Med.

On What the Queen Sleeps.
Tn these days royalty does not. seem to
concern itself so much about such magnifi-
cent sleeping coaches. It is web known
that our gracious sovereign always includes
a bed among her travelling belongings,
"Which is sent from Windsor Castle when-
ever her Majesty goes anywhere. It is said
to be a perfectly simple bedstead of maple
wood with plean hangings arranged as a
tent, muslin carteins and a bair mattress.
Two beds were manufactured at the castle
works, one of which was effaced in the
Queen's cabin on board the Osborne, and
the other sent in advance to the Sehloss oc-
eupied by her Majesty in Darmstadb. The
royal visitor is said sometimes to leave her
bed as a sort of souvenir. One, we are
told, is at Dunkeld, and others at Baden
and Coburg.

He hadn't the nerve to do ib, There ware

mean some terrible punishment if not death.
At that time and for several years later
there were enclosel in a circular wall at the
mouth of the peas the skeletons of four or
five people who had been overtaken and
killed while seeking to escape. The wall
was eventually torn down, anci the bones
were buried in a common grave by United

A Government treight train which had
reached Fort Bridger and, unloaded and was
about to depart again, met with disaster.
As theanules were being driven in, a than.
d3r storm broke and stampeded the herd.
For a week small parties were sent out in
differenb directions, and most of the animals
were flually recoveeed. Four of us took the
trail of .esighe or nine mules, which went
directly south, but before we got away they
had eight hours the start. For the first,
twelve miles the trail showea every a,nimal
ou a dead run. We reaehed the point where
they had hostas to stank up, and were then
obliged to go into camp for the night. It
was afternoon next day before we got sight,
of them, and thou they at. once broke into
a run and headad, fer the pats. We were
obliged to go into camp again, and our loca,
-don was within a mile of the mouth of the
pass. We enteced it just au -sunrise next
morning, anti Ined proceeded about five
milei when we encountered a strange spec.
tal, Just Isere the vase was aboue 200
feet wide. The ensiles came clown as if run-
ning foe their lives, andanthe back of oue-
riding man fashion and holding her rifle in
her right hand and clinging with her lefe to
a neck strap made from the skirt of her
dress, was a, young women—Mary Johnson.
We drew aside to let the herd pass, and but
for her exclamation as she flew by we should
have been dumfounded by the queer sigha
"Mormous -,-- Indians —look out:" she
shouted,' and we turned our heads up the
trail just as a boay of horsemen came into
vieAviCinarter of a mile in rear of us the pass
narrowed suddenly to twenty feet, and we
fell back withottt delay and dismounted.
The other part had. halted at sight of us, in-
stead Of charging, and before they advanc.
ed we were pretty well fixed to hold the
pase. There were a score of stunted trees
growing on the rooky sides, and these were
uproeted and thrown down, and every rook
which eould be moved was tumbled into the
pass. In ten minutes we bad it blocked.
The girl came up from our rear juet as one
of the Mormons adva,need with

of Indian limiters and enlisted their sea.
Ages, We kuew what to make ready for
when the flag of truce men departed, The
entire force charged us on foot. Every man
of us bad a pair of Coltas six shooters besides
his rifle. We placed. the rifles within reach
of the girl lend used only our revolvers. SIM
fired the first shoe from her own weapon, and
her bullet killed a white man. An
Indian was also killed by one of us, and
those were the only dead,but several of them
sunst bare been wounded in the fusilede.
They stopped and broke before reaching the
breaetwork.
The next, move of the enemy would be to
wor k along the sides of the pass and get
into our rear, We had four miles 0' de-
fensible positions behind us, and the smoke
yet hung over our first breastwork
when we tell beck about half a mile and
constructna ancther on the same plan. I
was an hoer or more after we were read,
that the fellows tried a queer dodge. Th
Mete was to etampede their .hor ses over us
and to follow at their heels and take ad-
vantage of our bewilderment. We present-
ly suspected what they were up to, and
gathered a qua,ntity of dry 'elves and brush.
To frighten their horses and give them a
rush they fired their goes and
ITTTEltEn
At the first alarm we set the leaves ablaze,
and as the horses sew the %yell of fire they
stopped short. We poured our bullets into
them. as fast as poesible as they huddled to -
gather not over fifty feet away, and I do
not believe that over three of the animals
got away unhurt. It went agamst the
grain to do it, but itproved to be the turn-
ing point in the fight, if not our salvation.
Some of the Indians were even then in our
rear, bat without our suspecting it. The
Mormons had probably promised them a
few pounds of powder or an old rifle to help
recapture the girl, but they had not count-
ed on any one being killed or wounded or
losing his pony. The redskins at once drew
out of the fight, and there was nothing for
the Mormon party to do but haul off. One
white man had been killed and three wound-
ed. Two Indians had been killed and four
wounded. These figures I got from an
Malan a year later.
After an hour had passed without any
movement on the pare of the emeny, one of
out party went forward to reconnoitre, end
found the fellows had retreated. There
were seven dead. horses in the pass, with
many trails of blood to prove the wounding
of others, while the dead and wounded men
had,been taken away. It wets not until we
had lef e the pass, secured our mules, and
gone into camp for the night that we knew
the name of the young woman who had
galloped into our hands. She had made
fair proeress on her way through the pees
but as she was on foot and her pursuers on
horseback they overhauled her.
She had come upon our fugitive mules as
they were feeding, and, having had their
run, she had no difficulty in approaching
them. She reasoned thatthey belonged
to a camp near by, and had just mounted
one when she heard the yells of the al or-
nions half a mile away. The girl was quiet
and gentle spoken, and to see her blushing
under our gaze and twisting her fingere,
about each other as she told her story, you
couldn't give her credit for the pluck she
had dispitty ed. She was far more concern-
s(' about her father's future than her own,
and soon after our return to the fore we
began a movement to •get information of
him. • Upon the reams of the persuing and
defeated party he was taken to Salt Lake
City Re •a prisoner, and from that day
tothis no Gentile has everlearned what his
fate wag, must have been death in some
form, for he was never seen twain. After
a Baty of several weeks at the fort the
daughter was sent East, and ultimately re-
turned to relatives in Georgia, and two
years later the commandant's wife received
a letter giving the news of her marriage.

THELONGEST SWIM ON RBOORD.

Seven. mina.
The loneest swim ever made without the
aid of artificial help, sae]) es life preservers,
life snits, etc., was suede by Samuel Brook,
a Yarmouth (Englond) beat:Innen, the night
of Oat. 14, MI5. The afternoon of the 14t1m
Brock bed notated a ship at sea signaling
for a pilot. kin, in company with nine
other seamen, started for the vessel in the
ya.wl Increase. At. 4 o'clock they tame up
alongside the ship, which proved to be the
Spanish brig Paquette de Bilboa.
A pilot and three beachmen were put on
hoed and the Increase then headed for
shore, which was twelve miles distant. At
6.30 o'clook, when the nearest land was
still six miles off, a squall struek the
Increase and drownetl all on Wen' except
Brock. From the way the flood tide was
beating offshore it soon becam evident to
the man in the water that if he ever did
manage to reach the land alive he wonld
have to swim about fifteen miles to a round-
about way. A swell sea, drove hien oat over
Cross Sand ridge before the 0 o'clock bell
tolled at St. Nicholas' gate and it was a

nearly exhausted swimmer caught sight of
the bell and light buoys themselves.

vessel at anchor, and by an almost super-
human effort managed to mit within about
200 yards when he bane,' 'the lookout. A
boat was isnmediately lowered and the half.
drowned man taken on board. The vessel
proved to be the Betsy of Sutherland and
her place of anchorage about sixteen and
three-quarter miles from where the Increase
capsized. Thus it was proved that Brock
had made the remarkable distance of nearly
seventeen miles in seven and a half hours on
that chilly October night.
Will our San Burn ?
Thousands of curious aud ingenious
theories have been brought forsvard to ac-
count for the fact that the sun although he
has whirled his burning disc acrosa the
heavens for untold ages, continues to burn
without his bulk, as far as we can tell, be-
ing lessened in the least. Some learned men
believe that the sun is a monstrous brill of
gas, but even a ball of gas of the size of the
sun is known to be would b.i entirely con-
sumed in the course of a very few thousand

which are constantly plunging into his
great seas of gas. One of the moat etnirsene
astronomers of this age, in giving hie opin-
ion on this last conclusion, says that if a
