Madame D'Arcy's Beauty Talk OU may talk about the Venus de Milo with her colonial waist, a long neck, and ideals everywhere, but tell me if there ever lived a man who admired a big-waisted woman in a modern dress. If a woman were to dress in a bag all her life; if she were to swaddle herself in the habiliments of the East where a woman would be expected to fatness-required to make the garments hang well; if she were to dress forever alone, if she were to be a business woman for a much longer percentage of her time a woman must wear a tailored gown; this means that she must be gowned tightly and should round and her abdomen flat, she will not look heat and wear. Those two points are equally important for every woman in the figure line. Measuring the Abdomen. If your abdomen is too large there is a very limited, fairly normal figure the thickest or fattest part of the abdomen will set out exactly as the tip of the bust, but no far To determine this, stand unclothed in front of a pier glass. Rest not upon the foot, but stand straight, not forward nor backward, but stand straight, resting the full weight upon the balls of the feet. Rest from the foot from the tip of the bust to the foot. Note carefully its touching points. If the figure be perfectly well proportioned and fully normal the line will just graze the abdomen. In other words, the bust and the abdomen are very close together. Often in this test the abdomen is far too large. Sometimes the bust is too THE Direct THE DANCE HOUSE prominent. Frequently the hips will present an unstightly appearance. To remembrance of this, the hips will exercise. Begin at once and try to reduce the abdomen, taking in the hips at the latest advances from Vienna are to the effect that the new Viennese movement has been followed by success and the latest advances have celebrated the celebrated Swedish movement. Unlike the Swedish movements, which are complicated and elaborate, the Viennese movement may be picked up by the amateur in a few hours. Viennese Movement. They must be performed with some instrument, a light one, but none the less. The instrument which requires a little skill. Dumb bells, though they may be light, are not sufficiently exacting, for there is to be a play which requires a little skill. The ladies of Austria, including the Archduchess Stephanie, now the Countess Lonay, are using the fists and find it difficult to play. Also taken them up since this Viennese system came in. They are wearing the long, lilac wak, but this is not the best implement for this purpose; and in London, where all are getting in shape for the coronation, are practicing with the shepherd's crook. But better than this is the circle. In this country one can get a very close encounter with the goose—the hoopie with which children play. This is the best admonitor on the face of the earth and you cannot do it without a speedy commencement using it. The Viennese movements are only two, both calculated to reduce the abdomen, but one to increase the arm, which the whole body is thrown upward so that the weight comes upon the bells of the feet. The second is the perfect far arm, which the muscles being at full tension, even to the arms which are stretched upward as far as they will reach, to support a hoop. The first is the most beneficial of the movements of view. It is likewise the most hardful. There is this about the Viennese treatment that it does not injure the body and the muscles, though she is heicted with all the arm muscles, will be hurt by the exercise, providing she can stand up and is able to walk. The Forward Movement. To get the full benefit of the best Viennese movement, take the hoop and hold it out in the hand, taking a mus- cle and spread a foot apart and let them be in an eccentric kind of foods an little more there is a gre the most recent Defective Page draped securely upon the hoop, so that the backs of the hands are turned out. Now swing the hoop into the air in the figure, and encircle the figure, as in a frame with a center. Practice this until you get the control of the movement of the hoop. Hold the hoop in the air as possible and swing the hoop in the air. Raise the head until the face is in the center of the hoop. Hold the hoop forward as far as possible, and swing the hoop in the air. Raise the head until the feet is in the center of the frame and take a full, deep breath. It is an need of practicing these exercises unless in the open air. A house top is the best place of all, and next to this a gymnasium with open windows. A ventilated gymnasium is considered ideal, but it is often found upon test that the air is not charged with sufficient moisture. The lungs clog while this vigorous exercise is done. INSTRU TRESS IN A HOME GYMNAST gth Movements of Her Class with the ideal second Viennese movement. These two movements will positively redefine the back. Better still, they will make the waist small and round. These movements that the very movement which develops the bust, as these will do, will at the same time reduce the waist. It is that I am developed and reduced at the same time?" asked an anxious correspondent. "Are you not afraid that as I am developing my bust and my arms, according to the Viennese that I shall also develop my waist?" To this there is a perfect rational rejection. To this there is a perfect rational rejection. We locate the waist and the waist bands, is a mass of ribs and muscles. These are clothed in fat and adipose tissue settles in the skin. Right over the receptacle for the waist and its surrounding parts seem to absorb food the quickest and to develop the rapidity with which the waist will increase in size something that is unnatural. The oak of the sturt deeps the tenuion first then comes the abdomen, and then the bust and hips. The bust will for a few days control the increasing bust, but soon the pressure becomes intolerable, and my skin becomes itself to an extra lobe of corse stricts. With the exercises must come diet and exercise, and that, that. One need not starve, not need food, in an eastern manner. It is more the foods and the quality. In the diet, the diet, the diet, there is a great, divergence of thought, the most recent opinion being that meats build up fat; and not butter and sweets and starches, as formerly thought the A little reasoning and $^1$ the merest knowledge of chemistry of foods will cook meats that do not put on fat and that starch is well for the one who is reducing to abstain from starches and take to meals and foods devoid of the fleshy materials. An ideal diet, much like that prescribed by the famous Dr. Banting, consists of foetus and one cup of coffee without sugar and one cup of milk. The lunch menu there may be a chop and toast and one vegetable spinach being the preferred one. For dinner, if there be a baited cup of tea or one cup of milk, a pound of lean beersteak or lent in roast beef, and a vegetable drinkable must not exceed one cup of tea or one cup of coffee or one glass of water. Upon this diet one will reduce rapidly without loss of strength, but it may be claimed that it is a pleasant course. Those who must have a wider latitude can allow themselves all the vegetables and fruits they can eat, but not more than one cup of tea or coffee. Wine for dinner is a great toner of the system, is objected to by many, and is not recommended to drink. But for the invalid, and an invalid a woman is if she be burdened with fat. The distressing sight of a woman with youthful face with an abdomen that is too prominent is one that meets one's own needs. It is important to keep down the fat, but it cannot be done and the figure is appallingly stout. Each ten pounds add ten years to a woman's age, they say, and certainly a woman's age the ten years by dieting and exercise.

With the new and highly improved methods of retaining youth, a woman should age between the ages of forty and sixty, and her spirits and her mental faculties, and she continues young, long past her middle age. It is pointed out that Madame Maintonnien was in middle age when she caped the king, and that Cheopatra was forty-five when she held the Helen of Troy was over forty-five when she did her most serious damage, and the past century were in maturity, before she themselves fell in the world.

A boy in a suit holding a hoop. The bill introduced by Congressman Shafroth of Colorado, providing that on and after Jan. 1, 1985, the weights and measures of the legal standard weights and measures in the United States, is simply another in a long line of attempts to supplant the present awkward system by a more standard system. Though the bill has been reported favorably by the committee on weights and, measures, it has still a chance before it. The chances for its adoption are said to be not the brightest. In one sense the United States may be said to have been even before France in the adoption of at least a portion of the metric system. In 1788 money, with the dollar as the unit, whereas the metric system proper was not adopted by France until 1795. The basis of the metric system, the meter, was determined by two eminent French scientists, the first one forty-millionth part of the circumference of the earth on the meridian of Paris. The meter is 3.37 inches longer than the American yard. It is the standard of the measures of length, breadth, and height upon it. Thus the metric unit of surface measure is the centare; which is one square meter. The unit of capacity is one liter, which is the cube of one-tenth of a meter. The unit of weight is one pound, which is the weight of a cube centimeter of water. A standard meter was constructed in 1799 by an international commission representing France, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland. Denmark, Spain, Savoy and France, Greece and Spain and republics. It was a platinum plate and was deposited in the Palace of Archives. in Paris to be the definite basis of the metric system foreseen. The use of the metric system was introduced in France in 2. 1801, but the French people were not aware of it. To Rodney prepared for so sudden a change, and in 1812 a compromise was adopted which lasted until 1837. In that year a metric system was adopted, a metric system obligatory, and ordered its enforcement after January, 1840. At present it is universally used by France, as well as by European nations. The metric system was allowed but not compulsory. Russia was the last of the great powers to make the change, having put the metric system into force only a few weeks ago. On this continent the metric system was adopted in the Ottoman states, Chifl, Peru and other of the South and Central American republics. At the present time England and the United States are left practically alone with the metric system, which have not adopted the decimal system of weights and measures. As early as 1817 the subject of adopting the metric system in the United States was agitated. John Quincy Adams, it is recalled by the Chicago Institute for the weights and measurements of the United States, and he found that the standards of weight, measure and capacity differed considerably in the different states, and in sign in the same state. He reported fully on the result of his investigation, and he adopted the adoption of the French or metric system because of the popular repugnance to a change and the inconvenience which would follow the adoption of a new system. At the same time he held the belief that the metric system, was most useful to the greatest credit on the men and on the age which had devolved it. In 1830 another investigation was made, and it again was found that a pound or a yard in one state or city has often been larger than in another. As a result, the treasury department was authorized and instructed to have made copies of the standards of weight and measure then in its possession, a set of which copies were to be delivered to the governor of each state in the Union. In 1866 it was made, by an act of congress, lawful to employ the weights and measures of the metric system throughout the United States, and the secretary of the treasury was instructed $2.40 PER YEAR. BY DECIMALS ed to furnish to the governor of each state a set of standard weights and measures of the metric system for the use of the respective states. Under the regulations of the international postal convention the metric system is adopted as the standard in all transactions between the nations which are members of the postal union and accordingly the mail matter transported between the United States and fifty other countries, including even the mail sent between the United States and England, is weighed and paid for entirely in terms of the metric system. In 1875 a convention was held by representatives of practically all the nations except England, at which time and permanent bureau of weights and measures was established at Paris, the expenses of which are paid by all the powers party to the convention. Great Britain has become a party to this conference, and with the United States, pays its share of the expenses of the bureau. One duty of the international bureau of weights and measures is to furnish and correct copies or duplicates of the weights and measure to the several countries, contribute to its support. These new standards were supplied to the United States and were received by the president and his cabinet with considerable interest, and are now deposited in a fire-proof room in the Coast Survey building. In 1893 the secretary of the treasury ordered that thereafter the standard meter and kilogram, deposited in the Coast Survey building, should be recalled as the fundamental standards from which the customary units of the yard and the square should be derived. It is, therefore, present the United States is using a system of weights and measures which is based on the units of the metric system. P. F. FLOREST DES ACN. The metric system proper is now exclusively used by the United States Marine Hospital service, by the forerunners of the United States coast and geodetic survey, to some extent in the mint; United States signal service and United States census department. The formal adoption of the metric system has been repeatedly recommended by the legislatures of the treasury and of state; it has been asked for by the legislatures of several states, and many petitions from both business and scientific men have been made to the legislature for the passage of such a law. In 1888 this country invited the republics of Central and South America and of Mexico. Hayytl and San Domingo to a conference to hold at Washington, consider, among other things the "adoption of a uniform system of weights and measures." The conference was held, "a adopted, so far as lay in its power, "a uniform system of weights and measures," the metric system of weights, and the republics went home and almost without exception procured the adoption of the metric system by the countries from which they came. Now they find that the greatest nation of all, the United States, adopted conference, has so far failed to adopt its own suggestion. The objection always made to the adoption of the metric system, and which has heretofore been strong enough to prevent its adoption by congress, is the fact that a change from yards to meters and from point to hand would upset business and throw the world of commerce into confusion. To this argument the advocates of the metric system file a partial assent. They admit that it would cause considerable inconvenience, but say that the amount of disturbance which would be issued would be avoided. In proof they point to the experience of other nations which have adopted the metric system without seriously incommoding business men. Their chief argument is favor of the adoption of the system lies in the great benefit and saving in study and which would result in the generations HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1902. Tis an old saying that "Virtue is its own reward," but sometimes there are more substantial ones and the most notable instance that has come to our notice, recently, is in the case of George W. Thurston, the Pullman car porter who was walled the bulk of the estate of Mrs. Eliza Jane Evans, a white woman, valued at from $75,000 to $100,000. Mrs. Evans was 47 years of age and the wife of Thomas H. Evans, from whom she was judiciously separated in 1892 upon her application. She never weighed more than ninety pounds and sometimes as little as seventy, and had on different occasions been an inmate of several sanitariums. Mrs. Evans died at the Riverside Sanitarium March 18, 1900, and in her will, which was executed on Oct. 23, 1897, she disinherited her husband, made gifts of $1 each to some relatives and also some charitable bequests, and gave her entire residuary estate to Thurston, making him sole executor. She made the acquaintance of Thurston in 1895 on a train coming from Boston. He was a porter on one of the Pullman cars. She was ill during the journey and he treated her kindly. She sent for him subsequently and he was a frequent visitor at her apartments. So strong was her attachment for Thurston that in December, 1896, she executed a deed of trust of all her property to him that none of her relatives might get possession of it. In 1897 she made a six weeks' trip to Buffalo and Niagara Falls in Thurston's company. Her husband and several relatives contested the will, alleging that she was of unsound mind. The will, however, was admitted to probate by Surgeon Fitzgerald, of New York, and Williams has his reward for his kindness. It may be that some of our readers are not aware that there are thirty thousand more Afro-American children than white ones attending the public schools of South Carolina. This fact alarmed the whites down there and they endeavored to pass a bill in the legislature to prohibit the employment of children under 12 years of age, but it was defeated in the House by a vote of 54 to 12. It seems that there are lots of white children employed in the cotton mills that are woefully ignorant and the bill was formed for their benefit. We have read somewhere that: "It is seldom that a man loses his temper, even under the greatest provocation, without having cause, sooner or later, to regret his want of self-command. There are few of our fellow creatures so unimportant that it is not worth while to conciliate them, none that may not sometime have it in their power to inflict on us an injury." We suppose old ben tillman never read the above quotation, and, if he did, he did not heit it, and he got himself justly trounced all around. And the end is not yet. The little feast which was provided by the "Captains of Industry" for Prince Henry in New York the other day was a gorgeous affair, costing over $50,000, though the luncheon only lasted about an hour. The wealth represented by the guests, or, rather, hosts, on this occasion, was about $1,000,000,000, so the cost of the lunch was a mere bagatelle. This was, however, the most lavish and expensive lunch ever given in this country. New York city, it would seem, must be a very good place for a man to find a wife. There are 60,000 Afro-American inhabitants in New York city, and there are 6,000 more women than men. It is claimed that the increase in population is due mainly to immigration from the South, for while the birth rate is fairly high, the death rate is unduly so.

In preparing for a possible change in the future, school children are instructed in the metric system in many schools, so that they may be familiar with its terms. In some states, the metric system is taught in the metric system is made compulsory. In England, also, the importance of the subject has been recognized in the same way. The English government mandate accurate copies of its standards of metric measurement and weight, and encourages in every way the study of the system. Its general adoption all the time seems to be only a matter of time. The necessity of having some generally recognized standard of weight and measurement is more easily recognized when the standard is measured many times many of the standards were based on nothing more certain and unchangeable than the length of a man's arm.

Elder Passengers on a Brooklyn bridge trolley car were greatly amused the other day at the antics of their conductor, who had been an old sailor and was going through some strange performances on the rear platform to show that he wasn't all landlubber yet, although he had been ringing up fares for several years. The rejuvenated sailor said: 'I ad a fine old time, curing ropes when I ad a berth on the three-skysail-yard Stanhope. I takes on a aylard like this', he continued, grabbing the trolley rope and pulling until the motorman rang for power. Before he was through with his exhibition of prowess the brake had been used as a capstan, the rear seat as a forward deck and the fender as a long boat awning from its davit. Just then, says the New York Mall and Express, the Brooklyn end of the bridge was rescued and the man resumed his role of ordinary conductor.

Minneapolis CASTORIA For Infants and Children The Kind You Have Always Gought Bears the Signature of Defective Page Man Who Poison Exhibits for Two National Institutes. In a little house in South Washington is located a federal institution without which the Smithsonian institution and the National Museum could be. It is the department of the chief poisoner, the Farmer. The office of chief poisoners was unusual in countries ruled by despots, but it may be a surprise to many to learn that such an office is maintained by our republican form of administration. However, Mr. Farmer, unlike his contemporaries in Turkey, Spain, Arabia, etc., is not engaged in putting obnoxious and exuberant statesmen out of the way, but in placing the objects on exhibit in the institution and museum beyond the reach of those who are interested in cockroaches. Everything that is received in institutions, whether it is a rare book, a Filipino bolo, or a stuffed and mounted animal, is sent to Mr. Farmer to be poisoned. He is an expert in the preparation and use of preservative compounds. For stuffed animals and birds he finds that arsenical compounds bring the best results. Every object of metal receives a coating and something that prevents rust, while fabrics, basketry, furs, furs, etc., are poisoned in much the same manner as stuffed antlers and shells, and cases of the museum in which the objects placed have passed through Mr. Farmer's hands and have been treated to a fluid that causes a bug, moth or cockroach to think that he is walking over a red hot iron the minute he strikes their surface. By these means the museum is forever freed from vermin. —New York Telegraph A LINGUISTIC REFORM. Schoolmasters Must See. That Pupils "Play Football in German." According to a German correspondent of a contemporary, the educational authorities of the Kingdom of Wurtemberg have issued an amusing order. Schoolmasters are to see that if their pupils play football, they shall at least play it in German. That is to say, such interesting hybrid expressions as "kicken" and "touch-linie" are to be abolished for the future, and Looked-Away finds in orthodox German. Looked-Away compositant and impartial point of view really seems a pity. "Kicken" is undoubtedly an expression, like the "criquette" and "bouledogue" of the sporting Frenchman, and makes for the gayety of nations, and it is difficult to see what harm the mind of the youth. Wurtemberg could get from it. Moreover, the proposed substitute, "Kicken", seems painfully inadequate and vague, better than the very poor spirited Frenchman "coup-de-plied." It is not necessary to suppose that this paternal legislature has decreed the abolition of the offending terms from any grounds of Anglophobia; they are probably doomed to disappear not because they are English, but because they are not German. There has been for many years a bashing allen words from the German, and justifying the boast of a celebrated German that of all European languages it alone has remained uncontaminated since the time of Tacitus.—London Globe. England's Conscience Fund. The chancellor of the exchequer has acknowledged the receipt of £500 in notes as conscience money. Is the instinct to get the better of the tax collector stronger than of old, or is the conscience more tender? This source of income now amounts to some thousands per annum; a little over a hundred years ago it was unknown. The sum noted was on March 30, 1879 and carried to the public account in correspondence note received by the chancellor. The writer with troubled soul implored him, "as an honest man, to consider the money the property of the nation, and to be so just as to apply it to the use of the state in such manner that the nation may not suffer by its having been detained, and thus to ease the conscience of an honest man." The note was of more money, but probably fewer such notes, earnest letters—London Chronicle. This Bank's Two Offices Separated by Twenty Stories. About the next thing to an almirah in the way of aerial ascension—except possibly a final translation—seems to be the modern elevator. One of the large down-town buildings in process of erection is that intended to house Hanover National Bank at Nassau and Pine Street, says the New York Sun. This financial institution will occupy two floors of the twenty-second. On the first floor will be the bank officers usually accessible to the public, such as the cashier and receiving and paying tellers and the individual bookkeepers, who are supposed to be in touch with the man outside of the grated window and know just where his account stands. Skyward twenty-two stories will be all the rest of the clerks and heads of the present departments that go to make up the wonderful money change, the modern bank, and top doors will be swift private elevators, with only terminal stations and positively no stop from top to bottom. This will give access to all the other employees and accounts as readily almost as if they were on the ground door. This remarkable office arrangement, which would have been lagged at and considered impossible a few years ago, reminds one of the name of a joe politician who wants to form a new county from Manhattan to form a new city, the population from the fifteenth century to have the most numerous and wealthy constituency of any county leader in the state within the next ten years. His great scheme also comprehended the naming of the elevator shafts Avenues A, B, etc., and the laying out of the horizontal corridors as numbered streets.
