A PLEA FOR THE BOYS.
For women to ohenpeck� their hus-

And think it quite hard at the time ;
Or perhaps, better, many a dime.
As well as more wealthy and even
more wise ;
For Franklin has said, go early to bed.
And likewise for us early to rise.
But can anyone prove, why the girl
who is in love, .
Should her fellow so completely con-
trol ;
That he dare not be found in the por-
tion of town,
Where other fair dames oft stroll /
If someone should find such a law in
the code,
It would annul the great cause for
which Washington rowed
Across the Delaware, with comrades so
true and so tried,
Who later, in libertyTs name, fought,
bled and died.
Now girls let me plead (and my mo-
tive is good, )
For the boys who would enjoy oold
liberty� if they could,
That you loosen the reins and give
them some slack,
For if they love you, they'll flirt a
little and then come back.

TOASTED TO A TURN.
Sister Caroline Got Even with the Man
Who Had Desptsed Her Love.
There was a scene and a sensation
at the Calvary Baptist church (colored)
on a recent Sunday. A ocovenant� ~or
If he scratched they~
mers, ~had the floor. She began if the |
usual orthodox form of telirg her ex-
perience,
her personal grievanee aga~nst Brother
Jaekson, whose arrival with his bride
ui on his arm had turned the course of
her remarks. The way she roasted him
was highly entertaining, if not edify-
ing. Rev. Mr. Parish attempted to call
her down, but she insisted upon having
her say out. Unable to control her, he
sought to overcome her harangue with
i song, and so gave out a hymn. For
awhile the sisterTs voice could be heard
above the united tones of the congrega-
tion. She continued to tals against the
way under the strain and she fell ex-
hausted in the seat.
Here is the way she began her ex-
perience recital:
oI praise de Lawd dat he has ~lowed
me to lib to see dis day. De great Al-
mighty is er merciful God, He is a
just Lawd, anT will not stand round anT
see eny ob his poor creeters suffer
wrong. De Lawd has been berry heTpful
to me. He has fed me when I wuz
~hungry, anT I have been naked anT he
clothed me. He hab put money in my
purse.� Just then Brother _ Jackson
appeared with his bride and the sister |
changed the key of her discourse.
oOh, Lawd, I thank thee that thou
has been so good tome. I thank thee,
oh, Lawd, that hee hast Tnabled me to
feed: Brother Jackson, who done got
married to another in violation of his
promise to marry me. [I thank thee
that thou hast ~nabled mé to give him
six shirts and has helped me to raise
| de eight dollars for him to buy a pair of
new shoes. Qh, Lawd, I thank thee
that he hab libed i� my house'a whole
year without payinT board. I thank
thee, oh, Laayd,. that I raised, by thy
help, theT money to send Brother Jack-
| son ~ter Chicago. Ani now, oh, Lawd,
he hab come back anT school have be-
gun, he has not kept his premise to
marry me. But, oh, Lawd, haw grate-
ful I am dat I can say dis bright day in
de language of de pharisee, that ~I am
not as'other men am.T No, Lawd; your
own Caroline am still libing in hopes
ob an eternal salvation, anT if it is pos-
sible, Lawd, I'pray theé to save Brother
Jackson, for betrily; ITsay unt him,
~ye know not what ye do.�
Naturally the congregation was con-
vulsed, and Rev. Mr. Parish, after in-
effectual efforts to quiet his sister, thus
addressed the congregation:
oBrethren, we cannot permit our mis-
guided sister to goon. Sing the long-
meter eae ~and a le inc un-
a a he oe her.

_A WOMAN'S WAIS
irreparable Iajery Dos Done oy night Lac-
It is matter torrejoicing that fashion
is no longer to decree a slender waist as
pe i erecr indispensable
and grace. The natural waist of the
woman of average height is about 28
inches, and any less size is attained
only through arrested development, or
compression of means of whalebone and
steel. The amount of room inside these
28 inches is absolutely needed for the
proper working of the machinery of
the internal economy, In spite of this
fact girls very often bind the yielding
ribs into such narrow compass that the
waist measures 20 or 22 inches only,
and you will now and then hear some
mother of a family, with a very differ-
ent waist now, boast as if it were some-
thing to be proud of that when she was
19 her waist measure was 19 too, It is,
however, of no use to talk to young peo-
ple about the injurious effect of com-
pression on stomach, heart, lungs, liver
and the arterial system. They are not
anatomists, and they do not.compre-
hend the matter nor want to do so;
they obscive that they feel as well now
as they did before, and without weigh-.
ing the thought that it requires time
to work ruin, take it for granted that
they always will feel as well, although
they. have been told and taught that in
post-mortem examinations it has been
found that wherever tight lacing has
been the rule, every organ was out of
place.and seriously injured. But al-
though it does move them a trifle to be
told that red noses and eruptive skins | fF
and flat chests are to be laid to the ac-
ocount of the too slender waist, yet on
the whole neither ~common-sense nor
auld-wife wisdom nor doctors have the
power of conviction that fashion does,
and when fashion says that there is no
beauty in a waspTs waist, but that.the
lines of nobility and health made by
deep breathing are the really lovely
linés, fragility being something rather
to be feared than loved, why then
fragility begins to be avoided, and the
linés of the Venus de Milo, of the Diana,
of the-Pallas, begin to come in.
The habit of tight lacing has already
done almost irretrievable injury. If it
were continued there is no knowing
what shape it might eventually, have
developed Even no sculptors declare
that a model with a natural waist,
sloping outward rather than inward,
is something not to be found, even the
most charming figures otherwise hav-
~nt how-
ever siieht a form suf c tent to spoil
them for posing for anything .de-
manding the freedom, the beauty and
grace of the antique. The Greek
wonran supported and stayed her-
self with bands of linen, but there
-Was no compression in the swathe, and
her natural waist made her of a perfect
beauty; and to-day the ndtural waist
of the Circassian does not interfere with
the reputation of her Wit The

donment. of j biigiciples, . will prob-
ably lead to tight lacing i inthe orient
just as we are relinquishing ithere.
Why anyone should cver have imag-
ined that a waist which looked as if it
were going to break in two could be
more attractive than a waist which
looked capable of supporting its head
and arms and shoulders is a mystery--
so great a mystery that the effort to
solve it is to be given up in satisfac-
tion over the report that the foreign
creators of the inode have recently
asked themselves. the question if the
shape that the Creater chose for the
human body was one they could im-
prove."HarperTs Bazar.
ELECTRIC INCUBATOR.
A German flas Invented One Which Is
Said to Be Successful.
The idea of an electric incubator has
long been looked upon by poultry farms
ers as too theoreticai to be of any real
service. Herr Otto Schulze, who has
been steadily striving to perfect such a
system in Germany, has, it is said, at
length succeeded.in constructing an
apparatus operated electrically, which
overcomes the ordinary difficulties of
the artificial hatching of chickens. The
apparatus is easily manipulated, and
needs a small, but constant, supply of
¢urrent. Automatic attachments reg-
ulate both temperature and moisture,

eacy thatatemperatureiskept within.
one-tenth of a degree of the normal heat
of incubation. From 90 to 100 eggs are
hatehed at one time. Herr Schulze is
said to have remedied certain points in
the electric omother,� which were
found to interfere with its effectiveness.
This contrivance, which is a box, in
which freshly-hatched chicks can find
heat and protection, while they are free
to run about on the ground when they
choose, has been devised as an accom-
paniment to the iaccinaicintd

Helms hada bright little child 16
months old. It was playing in thi
yard, but not, its mother thought, near
the tub, so she went-on about her bus

10 minutes, she went to look for the
