Braved Thelr Smiles.


Franklin meu are slow to adopt the latest fad, the female shirt waist, but by all accounts it is bound to come, and next year will see many of them adorning manly as well as womanly forms. In- deed, a drummer at the station ltere the other day sported a creation which for femininity surpassed anything ever be- beld ju town. It was a scorching hot day, yet he looked as cool and comtort- able as you may imagine, and Le wore his new aoquisition with as little noconcern as if it had been a part of man's apparel for all time. While he must have felt that he was the cynusure for all syes, he yet appeared to have the courage of his convictions and looked as one who might say, "I am going to keep cool if it is a possible thing, and so long as I do not offend modesty I see no reason why 1 sbould not adopt this new style of gar- ment." Dealers insist that it bas come to stay, and though it may meet with op- position for a time, as It did when the ladies first adopted it, yet It commended itself to their good judgment and was universally adopted, and will probably novar drop into ionoccuous desuetude.

That means if his kidneys are ont of order.

BEAUTIFUL FIGURES.


How a Woman May Arguire and Re- (ain symmetrical 1)e- velnjiment.


A beautiful figure is the most pre- cious gift, after perfect health, that any woman can possess. It is of far more value thau a pretty face. It lasts much longer, and it does not betray the years, as inust eventua ly ryn the most jwrfect features and the most lonely skin. With a perfect form, smartly gowned and well set up. a womun cannot fail to look charming There are three classes of women from an artistic standpoint, why may y claim to beauty of form. In the first class belong all the daughters of Juno. They are great, tall. ungniti- veut looking creatures, whom some men describe as "full bodied" women. lo the second elnss are the daughters of Venus. These women usually give the impression of ideality. They are always well-developed, graceful and generally good to look at. In the third class are gathered the children vi Psyche. Under this class come the women and maidens usually described as having fragile, girlish looking fig- ures. Of the three classes, some nd- mire one and some another. hut very beautiful women are found in all three. .1 woman who desires to make the very most of herself should study her own figure. She should find out its good points, its hetter points, its had points and Its very bad points.


She should then take it in hand, and hy means of exercise. diet, gymnastics. a good tailor and a first-class corset maker, set herself up to the best pos- sible advantage.


A woman can really do more with her figure than she can with her face. If inclined to be too stout she should rigorously abstain from everything that encourages embonpoint, such as late hours, over indulgence at table and leading in general a lazy, indolent existence.


If she has not the courage to make these sacrifices she must say good-by to beauty of form. She will then join the overflowing ranks of women who. when they have passed the age of 30, make no further pretensions to beauty of figure.


If, on the contrary, her trouble be an unsightly leanness of body and limb, which makes It impossible for her ever to appear in either becoming evening gown or smart ta'lor frock. she should, with the aid of both diet and gymnasium, set about developing her form to the utmost. It is her duty to cover, with soft, firm curving flesh, the harsh outline of her augles. Some thin women think It useless to try to put on a little flesh. They say. hope- lessly. "Oh. it's not my nature to he fat." They appear never to have learned that it is of the very nature of

England, ordered her body to be attired in scarlet satin and placed in s mahogany cotlin, lined with green silk, with a glass over the entire casket, which she dirceted should be set up on end beside a tall clock in the parlor of her residence during the funeral.


Sir Charles Hastings, the famous In- dinu soldier, ordered that after his death his body should be wrapped in anything that would hold it together, buried in an open filed und the soit around planted with acorns so that he might render o last service to his coun- try by nourishing a good English oak. Lord Cameltord, a famous duelist of the last century in England, directed that his body should be taken to Lake St. Lampierre, where there were trees under which he had spent many years iu contemplation of the sublithe seen- ery that surrounded him. lle re- quested thut the middle tree should br taken up until his body was ileposit- ed under it, when it should be replanted -all of which was done.


A Maj. Hook, of the East India com- paty service in London, was entitled by the will of u relative to an annuity 'of #4ou a year until his wife was buried. To fulfill the terms of this im- portant document ufter her death he caused her body to be embalmed, sealed up in a glass case aud placed in the up- jur chamber of his house, where it re- minined for 30 years, but no person was ever permitted to enter the room where it lay -W E.

Money That Ia Refused,


The pope still refuses to accept the yesrly stipend which the Italien gov- ernment is reedy to pey him. Ever since the conquest of Rome by the Italian troops of the king an annual In- come of $750,000 is yearly laid aside for the Pontif cx Maximus by the gov- ernment, which the former promptly refuses to accept. Thus for 28 years this sum has been accumulating, and to-day over $20,000,000, without the nc- cruing interest, may he drawn by the hesd of the Catholic .hurch.


The reason for the obstinney of Leo XIII. and his predecessor, Pius IX., iu accepting this salary lies in the fact that the holy fathers would by such an uot aclenowledge the sovereignty of an- other over that portion of Italy where the popes have heretofore reigned su- preinc. This money is apparently not needed. Pius IX. enriched the papal coffers with a legacy of $10,000,000, and It is said that Leo has undoubtedly doubled this capital. The papal chair has absolutely no liabilities .-. N. Y. Herald.
