PT* 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 ot.height would. be but. 25.0 inches. The 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 power to stand creet, man being furnished with a vim: which, properly treated, serve.; as a minis= to support the body in an up- right position, all the bonee Joints, anti 'nestles heing arraugod melte 15 poesible 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.

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. Obeying the Scriptures.

Once eafely arrived in the ,Mana mon kingdom, they were not long in dis- covering that they had been hearty de. ; zeived. They were sent, with about 200 others, to found a town almost directly I east of Salt Lela: and on the south 8/410 Or the Uintah Mountains. This town was to be known as Salvation City, and the real , objet of it was to guard the pees in the ! range known as Williande Pass, Some" of ; the converts who hied been eettled in the Green River Valley had to reach Fort, I Bridger by this route, aud two or three had 1 sueeeeded. Mary Johnsoa was a robust, I fintelooking giri, mid her fate had been ! decided withia an hour after the party had , arrived at. Slit Dike. She was permitted to go with her father, however, mud it was three months later before the plans of "the Lera" were revelled to her. Ulm arriving at their destination ucaely every one in the pasty was taken down with mountam fever, ana ahont one-third of the number died. Work was begun on several buildings, and the walls axe to be found there to-dtey, but before anything of ac. count was acomplisheil tha renmeder ot the teeny were resulted to malt ia bnild- usg the town of Provo. Neither father nor daughter had the fever, but from one who WAS ATTACK:ED and to whom they gage the kindest tare came the infortnetion that Miry was to be tin:sixth 4'A:seventh wife of e eartein elder, while her father hisneelf would shortly be expected to fully embraee the faith by tak- ing tsr> or three wives. He wets nob a min of much forms of character. After Wing told that, esoape was hopeless, and that rebellion against the authority of the church was punished by leath, he decided to obey whatever order svas given. Not so with afary. She receieed the news with horror and indignation, and entreated Use father to at least mike an atteinpt to escape. He hadn't the nerve to do ib, There ware men in the °Amp who had him under es. pionege, and he felt eerteln he would be overhauled in short order. Thal would 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 States s adiers. Waite her father was cow- ed and aniseed, Mary determineci te melee the attempt alone. No one outside of the circle. of trusted converts was permitted to possess a map or chart or any dra,wiuge which allowed the geographical petition ot Utah. Every effort was made to confuse and deceive the people as to its position and boundaries. The rude map issned by the Church tor general distribution, of which many eopies are still in existence, merle the north and west a vast desert infested by poisonous insects ; the south was described as a country full" of ferocious wild beasts and fierce Indians and. the country to the east—except over the route they had come was alkali plain, sterile mountains and val- leys, in which every . flower and "tattle of grass exuded a poison. The sick mars had told Johnson that the only hope ofescape was by way of William's Pass, and had made a pretty fair guess as to the distance -100 miles. Mary deter- mined to try for the fort. vahile her father could not be induced to make the start with her, he provided her with a rifle and ammu- nition and three or four days' provisions and advised her to the best of Ins knowl- edge. Perhaps he did the beetthiag neder the circuinstances, as he wes ender surveil: lance' while the. girl was net, ,No . one couldhave suspected that the would A.TTEIMPT TO nscnino out of that valley alone.

It was at Children Cr' for rithir's Casfor4 first supposed.she was Wet, but about mid - might the father's demeanor led to saspioion, and the plot was soon revealed, He was pub ander guard and a party of six meant - ed men despatched am the pass in pursuit of the girl. William's Pass is a rift, a ravineand a valley thirty miles long. In Some places it narrovre to the width of fif- teen feet, with rocky sides 100 feet high, and. o.t others it widens out to half a mile, Anti you find a carpet of graes and gioves of tree;. Froni the north mouth of the pass, Which is in Wyoming, to Fort Bridger, is mostly sterile plate, broken by overcrop. ping of rock, with three or fourstnall creeks crossing it to fall into the Greee River, At the time I write of every tribe of Indian In that conntry was hostile to the Gentile' and. in league with the Mormons. The girls. therefore, had foes before and foes behind.. 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 A FLAG OF Tft.17c8. She gave us her story in a few brief W01'44, and then (vouched dowel behind the breaet- work to help tot defend it The messenger claimed her as his lawful wife. He was very gentle in Isis speech at first bat after finding that we would not give the woman up he deelared that his force munbered twelve Iudiasns and six white men, and that none of us need hope to escape doth. What he said. about limbers was true, as the pur- suing white pert), had come across a band 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. 4EN OF HP FORLORN RORK The etrauee Legiou or ,soelat outlaws.

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 long two hours and a hall later before the nearly exhausted swimmer caught sight of the bell and light buoys themselves.

Within the next hour he sighted a 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 ?
