- 3a5rA BELLE AKD HER BEAUTY.

Harriet Frescolt SpoObrd Gives Some Use-l-ul

Blot to Girls Who Want to MingleIn Society nnd Still Retain Tliolr Health.

iwrniTrx Ton thi siefxtcb.jThere are few things lovelier to the eye

than a young girl. A baby may besweeter, tenderer, dearer; but a young girlis as satisfactory- in another way. Lithe,symmetrical, willowy, beaming with un-

questioning content, her eyes are stars, herteeth are pearls, her blushes are damask,ler dimples are smiles, her smiles arecaresses. It is true that there are periodsof a woman's life that are happier ana finer-fi- ner,

inasmuch as consciousness is superiorto mere existence, and as humanity's (s-uperiority to the beast lies in conscious-ness; while no one will deny that Inyouth generally there is more of themere joy of living than consciousness of itspossession. A woman at SO, or at 35, is awareofher happiness, her nature, her possibilities;she has reached a point in development verysear whatever degree of perfection she is toattain; her beauty is not yet Impaired, herhealth ought to be absolute, her powers are attheir height, ana could she pause there for 100years before growing perceptibly older shewould find the world a pleasanterplace; but, asit is, scarcely have she and others come to therealization of it all before much of it is a thingof the fast the cheek has fallen, the eye hassunken, the glow has gone, the things thatmade her thrill once now give her only thememory of that thrill.

But u the young girl is like the deiiciousnessof the rounded and d grape, thewoman at 30 is the clear, strong wine; yet howlovely is the bloom upon that grape! And thequestion is how to keep that bloom and add toit all the rest. The question is how to makethat rosy cheek and white forehead perennial,their Deauty fed by whojesome and g

currents, and to enrich them besides withthe consciousness and wisdom and charm ofsoul that should belong to later years, all with-out exhausting the supplying fountains ofppftlin,

A COMMON SENSE VIEW.Of course the subject has to be considered in

& large manner from the physical point of viewthat of food, clothing, and habits. "We all

know that good food makes good blood, unlessthe blood is already as hopelessly vicious at itssource as the blood of Linjs good food, notmeaning rich food,buttbat which is nutritious,sufficient, and which approves itself by its evi-dent assimilation, which fills the blood-vessel-

and makes the skin velvety as the petal of arose. Good; clothinc too, keeps this blood inhealthy circulation.this skin in healthy activity;nnd doubtless if Hebe wero painted y forThe first time, and by a discriminating artist,it would be in flannels that she would be

and in Jsegar flannels at that. A fewother things also should be allowed our younggirl whose health Is to preserve her beauty,develop her souL and give comfort to herselfand all about hen no worry, not too muchstudy, plenty of bathing, and all the exercise Inthe open air that she can take, and sleep atsight, it mere are lamuyor other distresses,they should be kept from the knowledge of theyoung girl, who can do nothing to rectify them,nnd will merely have her nerves and tempera-xnectinjur- ed

by dwelling upon them.And as fo- - her studies, it is not necessarv

JJiat she snould learn how to give the measure- -menus oi me ureal jryramia according to tnenumerical value of the Hebrew characters inGenesis, in order to train her intellect; but herstudies should lead in directions specified byuer own aptituaes. it sue nas an irresistiDiedesire to penetrate the secrets of cabalisticlore, of analytical mathematics, of n

metaphysics, she can do so by and by, whenthere is no question of the establishment of afirm foundation of health: at present she wantsto multiply and 11 hsr blood vessels, oxygen-ate all the blood in them, teach her lnngs howto breathe, round out her muscles, and set herheartbeats to the tnne of health. And theprevious conditions obeyed, she will find allthat is wanted in exercise. Not the gaugedand balanced exercises of calisthenics and gym-nastics, in a fixed air, methods to be but guard-edly allowed the young and growing, as theyhave possibilities in them of dwarfing and ofimpairing growth; not those of sweeping anddusting, since sweeping is bad work for awoman at any time of her life, and dusting isonly lets unwholesome than living where thereis no dusting at all; but exercise out of doors,where every draught of the open air feeds theflame which burns away impurities, exercise ofthe sort furnished by walking, riding, mountainclimbing, rowing, swimming, dancing, andskating the last belonging to wintry weather,most of the others to summer and walkingmid dancing to the whole round year.

OUTDOOE EXEECISE.One may sail from ice to ice between the

North Pole and the South, and receive no otherbeneht from it than that of being in the air andsun, and feeling the delight of swift motioncarried on another's wings. Bat, when rowing,one is in the air and sun as well, and is expand-ing the chest and strengthening the muscles ofnil the limbs; and when between two sunsets,one above and one beneath, out on wide ex-panses of river-mout- or rocking on the swellabout the islands of the sea, or lifting the pro-tecting boughs of secluded reaches and darkpools of inland rivers and gliding into the creenshadow, or pausing out under the immensity offctarlit space that one sees in a boat level withthe water as nowhere else, is it that the soul,too, does not expand, and the intellectual fiberquicken and gather strengthT

Few of our j oung girls will ever swim so asto fancy themselves the attendants of Galatea,but the effort will xall every portion of thebody into exertion, and the knowledge possiblybe of inestimable use to them some day; yetwise precautions are to be taken in this matter,the shock of being something thatall systems cannot bear. Few of them, again,will climb mountains easily as Oreads; but theuttempt will purity the blood M all the medica-ments of the pharmaenpasia would fall to do.All of them cannot afford riding, nor obtainu master in the art of mounting, and may not ex-perience the transport of controlling anotherwill, becoming almost a part of another crea-ture, and feeling the ecstacy of danger defied,of swift passage, and bounding animal spir-its. But all of them can dance and setthe whole body moving to measurennd rhythm, the pulses playing tomusic, and the brain responding toordered sound, all of tbem can know that de-light of being when, thoroughly attuned tomelody, one floats on wings, and the lark thatbeats the sky knows no more joyous flight-o- nly

in good air, in innocent companionship, inhealthy hours All of them, too, can skate, ifthey will, and live in freezing latitudes; and itv ould bo hard to say .whore a wilder, sweeter,loftier exhilaration can be found in merelybodily exercise, with the ring of the steel uponthe ice, the rush of the air hurrying past, thelong impulse, the flashing, glancing flight allbut aerial, full of glad celerity, as if the skatesWere the god's talana, the very spirit and soulof motion at will, with the eager directing force,the slow wheeling pause, and no part of theframe, from the tingling toes to the gray matterof the excited brain, not called into use in theprocess!

"WALKING IMPERATIVE.But if, peradventure, they may not dance, or

cannot skate, or have no water for rowiog, onryoung girls without exception may walk; and,after all, walking can be made almost the equalin pleasure of the other forms of exercise andquite their equal in health. Not the slow gaitof the observing naturalist, if it is an affair ofhealth, but the brisk, quick gait from point topoint, andtbe lingering and observation uponarriving. In fact, with short skirts, with easyboots, with a companion alert as one's self, withshoulders back, head up, and arms swinging, afcalt of SO minutes to the mile, if 15 is too much,(Ives one presently a sort of unconsciousnessof the separate acts of moving the feet, and atensation as near akin to flying as It is given tothe children of earth to have, while the lungsHe filled with purifying breath to their remot

est cells, and the blood is spinning in it slender-est vein.

But whatever form the exercise to be takenassumes, does not so much signify as the factthat rxrrcie shall be taken daily In some form.Nor is It right that it shall be optional with onrvonng maiden whether it shall be taken or not.It Is a much tho doty ofher parents or over-seers to InsUt upon It in suitable amount as toinsist upon ber proper diet and clothing. It isto be remembered that tut does not belong to

gener-ationher and a right; they are wronged, as much asif they were cheated of any other potsesslon.lther health is in any way Impaired, so that sheis made the channel through which Impover-ished blood and a lowered vitality are passedon to be intermingled with the healthy bloodand exalted vltalit of those who have been obed-e- nt

to law, and if, instead of lifting the race,the one step that should be in ber power towardits goal of perfection, she debases all the gen-erations that are to come.

The Hostetter Stomach Bitter Peoplo ScoreAnother Point,

In the United Slates Circuit Court for theSouthern District of New York, JudgeShipman handed down an opinion a fewdays ago in the suit of the owners of thetrade marks covering Hostetter's StomachBitters against Arnold Theller and CornellTheller, the compounders located on Veseystreet, New York City, in which it was de-cided that, although the defendants madeuse of their own names on the labels affixedto the bottles containing bitters prepared bythem, yet as they were evidently designedto imitate the Hostetter labels, they wereinfringers, and a perpetual injunction wasgranted and an accounting of damagesordered, together with the costs of the suitIt is the evident intention of the Hostetterpeople to protect their valuable trade starkagainst all infringers.

ent term about the 20th of the month, and willreopen abont the middle of September.

A bather interesting exhibit in Mayer'swindow consists of photographs of all themembers of the present House of Represents;tlves of Pennsylvania. The pictures were takenby Le Rne Lemes, of Harrisburg, and theyimpress one as being very good likenesses.

Mb. Clarence Johxs, who spent sometime with one of the first relief parties thatvisited Johnstown, has been back at his post inthe Backe gallery for several days. He says

that art matters in general, and particularly asrelating to the coming display at the new Ex-position, appear to partake of the generalparalysis caused by news of the great flood.

A PATNTrso in oil of the South Fork reser-voir by George Storm, has been on exhibitionat Young's. As regards execution the work isneither better nor worse than pictures by Stormusually are, but it falls to convey a proper im-

pression of the character of the place and thesize and extent of the lake formed by the dam.As depicted by this artist the reservoir lookslike a duck pond rather than the body of waterwhich wrought such fearful havoc in the valleybelow.

Mb. Geo. Hetzel has upon bis easels acouple of pictures from sketches taken atCowanshannoc, on the Allegheny, a few milesabove Kittanning. Judging from what Mr.Hetzel says the country thereabouts wouldfurnish some very good material for the brushof the artist, and certainly the two pictures re-

ferred to seem to support Such a conclusion.He is also at work upon two other paintings,both views at Scalp Level. The first is one ofhis characteristic works, showing a smallstream rinding its way down among the rocksand underneath some fine trees whose branchesInterlace above. The other is a sunset In themountains, and is somewhat different inxshar-acte- r

and arrangement from this artist'stasualstyle.

The play of unrestricted imagination in in-

terior decoration is often productive of effectsstriking if not beautiful, but the jumblingtogether of various features of design withoutrule or order may result in something startling,bntit will surely be of questionable desir-

ability. Some of the combinations of incon-

gruous designs and colors huddled toge'ther ina most haphazard manner in the form ofpapered ceilings in many of our modern dwell-ings are calculated to strike the observer asbeing products of a disordered imagination-verita- ble

nightmares rather than effects inartistic interior decoration. If a ceiling is tobe decorated in strong colors they require to bevery skilfully chosen so as to perfectly har-monize with each other. Colors which are softand subdued are far the safest to ue for this1

however, and in most cases much theest. Most rooms are quite small enough and

the ceilings sufficiently low, which appearanceIs rendered still more obvious by the crowdingof gorgeous and highly colored decorationsupon the celling.

A Tolee From Dixie Land.Comrade Wm. Murphy, of Post 157, engaged

as a bridge builder in the South, writes fromSalisbury, N. C, under date of May SO:

There Is a National Cemetery here, containingthe graves of U,T00 of out comrades who werestarved to death in the prison located here duringthe war. Mot a flower was placed upon these

raves to-d- excent those dropped by myand myself. The talk oftlio "Bine

and the Gray" joining hands In the matter ofdecorating the graves here Is all nonsense. Thefact is, It is considered a disgrace here to place aflow er on a Union soldier's grave, and no one buta Yankee or a negro wonld be guilty of doing so,and the latter is afraid to attempt It.

..NATIONAL GUAED NOTES. ,

John G. Lang, of Allegheny, who has beenattending the naval academy at Annapolis, diedduring tbe past week.

Franklin B. Throckmorton. First Lieu-tenant of Company K, Tenth Regiment, hastendered his resignation.

Lieutenant Eltonhead, who was in thiscity during the past winter as recruitingofficer, has been ordered to Fort Brldger.Wyo.,for the same duty.

The number of sharpshooters in the State'is4S9, one-thir- d of whom have records offrom & to 11 years. The total number of quali-fied marksmen is 1,329.

Captain B, W. A Simmons, who has beenconfined to his residence for the past threemonths with a severe attack of pneumonia, isable to be about again.

Companies and regiments marching to thesummer encampments will receive two nays'additional pay, and also be allowed a cash commutation equal to the cost of railroad trans-portation.

It is expected that the present knapsacks,canteens and haversacks now in use will becondemned shortly in consequence ot theirlong use and a new lot issued, probably otadifferent' pattern.

The Washington Infantry rendered somegood service during the short period the mem-bers were away, but like all independent bodies,could not expect to receive the support ofthose in authority.

The honorable and ancient Duquesne Greysturned out last Thursday to attend a funeral.They made a first-clas- s appearance, but wererather attenuated in numbers, having but 17members in line. The band with them num-bered 32 pieces.

The members of Battery "B" are sore, verysore, in fact about the manner la which Adju-tant General Hastings' fired them out ofJohnstown last Monday. They went up likemen on the first call and offered to do and didwork that was of the most severe kind, butwhen LientenantShepherd reported to GeneralHastings, he was ordered to leave at once.

There seems to be a growing public interestand pride manifested In tbe National Gnardthroughout the State. Volunteer organizationsin every quarter are seeking admission, andover 100 applications are on file in the AdjutantGeneral's office for permission to raise com-panies of Infantry, with more constantly cop-ing in. Occasional requests are also receivedior autnonty to raise a oattery or cavairy com-pany.

General axline, Adjutant General of theOhio National Guard, has certainly made arecord for himself during tbe past week by hisefforts in behalf of the Johnstown sufferers.In addition to having 900 tents at the scene otthe disaster before the affair was 24 hours oldhe has remained in the vicinity with a largeforce of workmen brought from his own State.The comparison of the heads of the OhioGuards with those in the same departments ofour own State are not pleasant to the latter.

A private telegram was received yesterdayfrom Johnstown stating that the EighteenthRegiment would be ordered out to do guardduty about Monday, The message was froman individual who is in a position to knowsomething about tbe matter, so members of tberegimcnt may expect orders at any momentand shonid be on the alert. Should both cityregiments be kept in Johnstown for any pro-tracted period, it is extremely probable thattheir regular summer, encampment will bepostponed this year, as it would be pushingthings too bard to follow so closely withanother tour of duty.

The past week has been rather an eventfulone in military circles lathis end of the State.Not since the riots of 1877 have the troops hadan extra call for service outside of the regularroutine duties. Last Sunday the EighteenthRegiment assembled 4s7 men on Wood streeton exactly two hours and forty minutes' no-tice, a feat never before equaled In this State.The order was Issued by Lieutenant ColonelRutledgc, after repeated demands from theChamber of Commerce, who were receivingtelegrams hourly from Johnstown, calling forprotection, and had notGeneral Hastings wiredan absolute refusal to allow tbe regiment tomove, it certainly would have reported for dutyat the scene of tbe disaster. As it was, thepeople of Pittsburg were given an opportunityto see the kind of material tbe Eighteenth ismade of. The action of General Hastings incalling out tbe Fourteenth the day following,and refusing the offer ot the Eighteenth, is ex-plained by himself in the fact that be merelyobeyed the orders of Governor Beaver, whonamed tbe regiment he wanted. GovernorBeaver's reason for thns publicly insulting theofficers of tbe Eighteenth Regiment can be ex-

plained on political grounds only. That it wasan insult every military man in Pittsburgknows, as Colonel Smith is many years thesenior of Colonel Percnment in rank, and thecompanies of the Eighteenth are all centrallylocated, while those ot the Fonrteenth arescattered over the entire county, and portionsof them ontsldo the county. Governor Beaver'sentire course of action, however, during thepast week has shown about the same amountof reason.

The Story of a Yonns Lady Who Cornel toLife Again.

San Francisco Chronicle.The question of being burled alive and

the recent case of Washington IrvingBishop were matters discussed by a partyof gentlemen at the Bohemian Club theother night. A journalist who was presenttold the following story of local interest:"Living in San Francisco to-d- are twopersons whose strange experience have longbeen a mystery to me. Two years ago aBoston gentleman came out to the Coast.He brought with him his companion, ayoung woman in the last stages ofconsump-tion. She was pretty and talented, and 10years younger than her escort. I am of theopinion that a sort of Platonio love existedbetween them.

"Three times to my own knowledge theyoung woman has apparently passed outofthis life into the other world, and twice

reparations have been made for her burial,S n one occasion her companion was out ofthe city, when she was taken suddenly witha sinking spell, and the landlady becamegreatly alarmed. In two hours the invalidwas pronounced dead by the ladies in theboarding bouse who were in attendanceupon her. As the day advanced the land-lady, seeing no signs of the gentleman's re-

turn, visited an undertaker's near by andpreparations were made for laying out thecorpse. Liie body was cold and sua wnenthe undertaker arrived. He viewed thecorpse and went back to his shop for his as-sistant. During his absence the inissjngcompanion of the dead young woman ar-rived upon the scene. It was now about 4o'clock in the afternoon. Upon be-

ing informed of her death somefive hours before, the gentleman ut-

tered an exclamation of surprise. Then,rushing up to the room where the body lay,he closed the door behind him and turnedthe key. When the undertaker retumedhewas reiused admission. Two hours later thegentleman emerged from the room and or-dered two suppers sent to the apartment.Later the young lady was seen sitting up-right in bed, eating heartily. Her com-panion had brought ner back to life by amethod of rubbing and physical manipula-tion known only to himself. Twice afterthis he repeated the performance. Threetimes, to my knowledge, has this manbrought the young woman back from thedead. She lives here y, still an invalid,and isiliable to die again at almost any mo-

ment."

THE SNAKE SWALLOWED THE MAN.

The Strange Discovery of Two SkeletonsDown In Texas.

Boston Herald.1A strange discovery one that is causing

the thoughtful to ponder over the unwrit-ten past was made yesterday by a Frenchcitizen near Gainesville, Tex. Having oc-

casion to sink a well, Mr. Sommes, theFrenchman in question, selected a spot in avalley near a ravine of great length, andwhich, during "heavy rains, is transformedinto a raging torrent, depositing in the val-

ley limestone, gravel, mud and other debris.After reaching a depth of four feet, andwhile in a formation of limestone gravelthat had continued almost uninterruptedlyfrom the surface down, Mr. Sommes cameupon the vertebra and ribs of an animal,The ribs were about the size of a small pig's,and rapidly tapered.

Carefully vneartbing the bones toward thetapering end, Mr. Sommercame to the rat-tles, which, when counted, numbered 17,the largest measuring six Inches across.Attracted by the strange find the neighborsgathered in and the work of unearthing themonster was prosecuted with vigor. Afterlaying bare 19 feet of the remains of themonster of other time, imagine their con-

sternation at finding the entire skeleton of aman of tremendous stature in the stomach oftbe skeleton ot the snake. The remains ofthe man and the serpent as far as the serpenthas been exhumed, are as perfect as whenfirst denuded of flesh, and were doubtlesscovered by lime and gravel soon after death.Near the bones of the man's right hand is arude stone hatchet, which a local geologistof some repute reports to be similar to the.handiwork ot paleolithic man.

C0DBAGE IN DANGEE.

Two Examples .of It Furnished by BraveMen.

Chicago Times, jA story is told of the famous English ad-

miral, Sir Sydney Smith, whose ship, theAntelope, in a terrible storm in the NorthSea, was driven among the rocks. Sir Syd-

ney summoned his officers to the cabin."Gentlemen, you knowour condition. We

are driving on to the breakers. I acknowl-

edge that I can do nothing more. If any ofvou can make a suggestion now is thetime."

There was unbroken silence."Then there is nothing to be done but to

await our fate." He touched the bell."Pierre, bring up the coffee."

A story came from Switzerland a year agoof a mountain guide whose name was notpreserved. He, with two others, was lead-ing a" party over one of the most precipitouspasses of the higher Alps. The men. asusual, were tied to each other by a longrope.

As they scaled the wall of ice they slippedon the edge of a frightful chasm. This manwas at the end of the rope. "Without hisweight there was a chance for the others toretrain their footing: with it there was none.

He cast a glance down at the dark abyss,filled with fathomless snows, then drew hisknife from his belt, saying quietly to theman next him:

"Tell mother how it was, Jose."He cut the rope and fell, never to be seen

of mortal man "again.

a Witty Englishman Surprised theSlerabers of a Boston CInb. .

Youth's Companion. J

A man who gets the reputation as a goodafter-dinn- speaker Is usually one who haspower to tell a story welL It may not al-

ways be a very new story, a very wittyone, but if it is well told it is almost certainto be successful at a dinner party. Onsthing is fatal in such an attempt prosinesa.

Sometimes, however, a success is won innot telling a story when It is expected, innot making a speech when people supposethat one is coming.

A certain famous and wittyvisiting America, was asked to make anafter-dinn- er speech at the "Ladies' Night"of a Boston club. It was a literary club,and be was a literary man, to it was expected, Very naturally, that he would glo-rify profession and that of his hearers.

Instead of doing so, he rose gravely and,with a serious glance the fruits ot thodessert still on the table before him, began:"Ladies and gentlemen, I coma not here to'talk."

All eyes were turned toward him."Ladies and gentlemen," he repeated, "1 ,'

come not to talk."People began to laugh, seeing that brer

ity was really the soul of wit."I come not here to talk," said he, "I

come not to talk." Then, with anotherglance at the fruit and a modest gesture ofdeprecation, "I come not here to talk!"

And he sat down while every one laughedand applauded, i

- HTEBABI OPINIONS.

How a Man's Prejudices Sometimes WaryHis Judgment.

The Youth's Companloa.1Burns composed his war-od-e, "Scots wha

hae wi' "Wallace bled," while riding, onetempestuous day, over a wild Gallowaymoor. Carlyle says that this stem hymn ofwar "should be sung with the throat of thewhirlwind," for is "the best that was everwritten by any pen."

Perhaps tbe fact that the hymn stirredCarlyle's warm Scotch blood influenced hisjudgment. The poet Wordsworth, being anEnglishman and not a Scotchman, called it"thrash" and "stuff." Mrs. Hemans es

that while conversing with Words-worth, she asked:

"Do you not think Burns war-od- e, 'Scotshae,' has been a good deal overrated,

especially by Mr. Carlyle, who calls it thenoblest in the language?"

"I am delighted to hear you askjme that 'question," Wordsworth. "Over-rated! thrash stuff miserable, .insanity!"Without a thought! "Without an image!"Then the poet recited the piece in a tone ofunutterable scorn, and concluded with"Wretched stuffl"

A man prejudices sometimes warp hisliterary judgment. A poem that does notfit into his opinions is pronounced "stuff,"while one that harmonizes with them is pro-nounced excellent the best ever written.
