ague, and in the sj.iiu uf HStl moved to
St. Charley, Winona county, whence he
was brought to I'tica. A few mouths
after his arrival in this Stale he fell asleep,
and he has lived in this strange condition
for mute than seven years.

A WELL SHAPED WOWAN.
Art should always be based on nature,
aud no art is true which does not take na
ture for its mudel. A perfect, svmuictri-
henllhy woman of five feet ten
inches in height must comply with the fol
lowing standard : She should be 133
pouuds at the least, aud could stand up to
u pounds more without injury to health
or artistic perfection. The dislancc be
tween the tips of her two middle lingers,
when the arms are extended, should lie ex
actly the same as the height, or ten times
the length of her hand, or seven and a
half times the length of her loot, or five
times the diameter of her chest from one
irmpit to the other. The knee should be
xaetly midway from the junction of the
thighs lo the bat I mn of the heel.

The other day, while waiting at a desolate
way station in Illinois for a I rain which
noeiucd to have declared itself against the
schedule time and human patience, my at
tention was attracted by a man and a small
boy who sat on a bench near the platform.
The man's face bespoke oppressive weati
ness, and the exhausted manner in which
he leaned back against the station house
showed that he had been subjected to some
great strain. The boy was given to exces
sive liveliui'ss. Im found a large barrel
hooti, and in turning it round for closer iu-
spection, struck the man on the nose.
Then securing in old oyster can, he tilled
it with water fioiu a neighboring puddle and
poured it on a carpetbag which some one
hud left on the plallnriu. Then, wiping
his hands on his clothes, he approached
the man. The wan sighed deeply and said:
"Hun along, now."
"What for?"
"Hecause I don't want you here. No, 1
don't want you to put your arm around
my neck," he added when the boy bad
climbed upon the bench.
''I want to love you,"
'Well, you can love me without choking
me. Look out, don't you put your muddy
feet on me."
'Why?"
"Because I don't want you to, that's
why."
"Will people think you have been play
ing in dirt?"
"Yes."
"Why will they?"
"liecause they will."
"Why will they will?"
Oh, get down and hu-b. You are
sometimes the most foolish child I ever
saw."
',Are you an Anarchist?" the boy asked
wheii he had climbed down, not, however,
without wiping his muddy feet on the
man's pantaloons.
"t M' course not."
"What is an anarchist?"
"A man who tries to destroy the law."
"What law?"
"The law of the land."
"What lanl?"
"This laud."
'This land right here!" pointing to the
ground.
"Yes."

Students of modern history will readily
recall how failhfully this prophecy has been
fulfilled in the four previous ysar- to which
it applied.
In lli!9 Ktis.ii, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden which
inaugurated the great war that ended iu
(be disastrous defeat of Charles XII at
I'ultowa. The year 17S!I will ever be mem
orable on account of the breaking out of
the Trench revolution.
171H witnessed the campaign of liuotin
parte iu Kgypt and the formation of lint
second Kuropcan coalition agiuust France.
In 1871 war broke out between Kng
laud and Afghanistan, followed by lie in
vasion of the latter 001111117 by Prilish

Ill what manner the prediction is to be

"What ham!" was the iUcstioti in an

"I did nut know that a ham had been

"Well, I did and I don't remember to

The grocer thought he had lost the

the ham to evety one of these persons sev

"Sixteen of these will kick," remarked
the clerk, "and the seventeenth is the man
who got the ham."
The proprietor raised the clerk's wi

Both anxiously watched tho result. Of
the seventeen persons to whom the ham
had been charged, just four did the kick
ing act; the rest paid their bills without
further inquiry, so the grocer got paid

Mr. John l'crgerson, a well known resi
dent of Ceylon nnd newspaper proprietor,
has addrcs.-t d a letter to the secretary of
tho Anti-Opium Society oil the value of
sulphate of ipiinine, or even the inferior al
kaloids from cinchona bark, as prophylac
tics aud tonics, especially in low-lying and
malarial distiirts, where people are addicted
tu the use of opium iu order to relieve the
fever depression. The prevalence of the
upturn craving in many parts ot the w. rhl
is due. says Mr. Fergersioti, to the people
boinc. subject to a low type of fever. This
is largely the case in China. In Kuglatid
it bus bei-u shown that the consumption of
opium chiefly iu the form of laudanum, Is
very large iu the (en district and along the
ower banks of the Thames, especially c-
bout (iravesend. A Lincolnshire tillage
Iruggist staled some years ago in a letter
publi-hcd in the iiew-paper. that he sold
bout two gallons ul' laudanum per uionlh
retail, besides sixteen or twenty ounces ot
opium itself, mostly to women of the poor
er classes, who must pinch lb -liis-.-lves se
riously in many ways to purchase the lux
ury. -Many, he said, consume an ounce if
opium a week, ionic ccii.-id. rahly iin-ie.
The main cause of this craving, according
to Mr. I'crguson. is licit the people live
ill low and nialali d b ea'itit s. an 1 he sin
ge.-t.-that iuitiine remotes the craving and
nets as a siili.-tilute for laudanum, lie
ipiotes Mr. f objuhiiuti's trivels in Cbitta
to show that the Chines., even iu remote
inland districts alum lb ('.niton ri.er,
