WHIMS OF WOMEN. A K«w York *lioa-I »eater Chat« About Hi« l'»ir CuHtomom. ••Yes, it takes unlimited patience to fit shoes now, luit 1 always like to tit a fidget of a woman, even if it is a work of art, for she will go and tell all the other fidgets in Iter set, and they will •ay: "O, if lie can fit Mrs. K., who is very particular, ho can surely lit me!' So they will all come, and it is the fussy women who buy the most expensive shoes. Three-fourths of the women wear shoes too small, or, if they have their shoes made to order, we have to mark them a smaller size than they are or they will not be satisfied. If a shoe must be tight, let it be in width rather than length, for short shoes are the bane of shoe dealers and the essential blessing and creators of chiropodists. Womeu resent a long shoe in a peculiar way, though they will aceept a wide one without murmur. There seems to lie a certain disgrace in No. ô length, Imt. no stigma is attached to a double E width. Some ladies after they are mar ried rise above their follies so far as they themselves are concerned, but de vote their energies to muking cripples of their children by crowding their feet into tiny, fancy little boots, and some women never overcome their vanity ip :his fine. *T know a lady whose hair is as white ns mine and whose age approximates sixty, who wifi insist upon wearing the same-sized shoe she wore when a girl, though she has gained twenty-five pounds in flesh. It is the most singular thing about women, this obstinacy about their shoes. All over my store nre signs reading: 'll » not wear too short shoes.' 'Insist on being properly fitted,' and yet tliree-fotiiths of the ladies go out with shoes that make them wretched, and had as fief go to their dentist as to come here to he fitted." The different varietjes of shoes now run up in the hundreds. There are the new kid walking hoots, both high and low, with a diamond-shaped tip of patent leather, most popular of ail, the natty little patent leather vamped hoot with cloth tops, the house shoe of plain soft kid, the party shoe, as soft as a glove, with a sole so thin tiiat it can he rolled up like a shaving; the scarlet seaside shoe, the now half shoe of un dressed kid in delicate gray or tan, with tile heavy George VVlishington buckle of oxidized silver on tlie toe or fastened in a bow of soft ribbon on the strap which buckles about the instep. Tiiese slippers have high Louis XV. heels, and are exquisite producers of pain. A natty little shoo of scarlet leather, cut down low at the sides like a man's siippor, is displayed, ami slippers with nothing in the ha>k but a sole are called mules, and made of •ciujet leather for bedroom use. Party slippers are of bronze, un dressed kid, or black kid, with the large silver buckles, or embroidery of beads, while brides' slippers and shoes are made of the material of their wedding gowns, either with or without em broidery of pearls, and cost (là or $18. Perhaps the most bewitching piece of foot gear manufactured is a ladies' rilling boot, with its patent leather vamps and top and soft kid legs. Some times a fringe of gold bullion finishes these boots at the top with tiny de pending tassels of gilt.— N. F. Sun. I a THE LOVABLE WOMAN. Byron*» Inmff. of a K.pr.e.ntall», of sweet Wnmantiood. According to a neiv "Theory of Har mony nml form" published on the other side of the Atlantic, certain combina tions of a circle, triangle and square produce a perfect type of female beauty. This niav he called reducing loveliness to a mathematical demon stration. Wo have always considered woman a wonderful problem, yet never suspected lluit this was the true solu tion. The "Theory" goes on to say that "the regulation of the geometrical ligures must be iu accord with certain harmonic proportions existing Wi music;" from which we infer that a lady niathema'ically beautiful appears to most advantage when dancing to the sound of a piano or a fiddle. Our own notion of a truly lovable woman—and none other is really beau tiful—is not matliematienl, though it may comprehend harmony and melody, especially of the voice. There are (to use the words of another, "women of sweet, maidenly natures, growing up iu Lite practice of kindness, of tender household duties, of simple Godly aims, and of gonial, pleasant accomplish ments— Till, at the last, they set themselves to man Like perfect music unto noble words.' " Byron Brings before ns the image of one of this sweet sisterhood in half a dozen lines: -"Around her shone The nameless charms unmarked by her aione; The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the music breathing from her face. The heart whose suftuess harmonized the whole— And oh ! that eyo was in itself a soul." One rarely sees this style of a lady in Ihe street in a pork-pie hat with a blood-colored feather, or at the opera heavily fettered wjtli jewelry, does not divide her w aking hours into three equal parts—devoting one to gos sip, one io shopping and one to flirting. -She remis, thinks, never scolds; and when she loves—she lows. Happy is he who wins such a woman for his bride, an>l a true man he must be to deserve her.— N. Y. Ledger.

If EXAMINING RECRUITS. ting Into Uncle IlliHtftrle* In Ihn Way of (•< Suin'* Art'i It Ih not so easy for a man to get into the United States army. He must go through as rigid an examination as a life insurance company would insist on, and even if he pusses that In* is not certain to be admitted, as defective eyesight or imperfect hearing, that would not hurt a man's prospects *.»r longevity, keep him out of the army, The recruiting officers need to know its Besides that, they suit of this careful culling, and the re- ! enlistment of the best of the old men, : the physical and the moral standard of j much as a surgeon. acquire a knowledge of human nature which helps them pick out the best | men.

A recruit live j feet four should weigh 1ÜH pounds, have j a mean chest measurement of thirty- ; four inches, and a mobility of two ; inches. At five feet height his weight should be 141 pounds, his mean chest 34J inches, and his mobility two and one-half inches. Each inch in height over five feet four should mean an in crease in weight of two pounds, with five pounds extra for each inch over five feet sovon. After five feet seven there should be an increase of half an inch in the mean ehest measurement for each inch in height. The table gives the weigtit, height and chest mobility up to 6 feot 3, whorotho woight should be 190 pounds, t he mean c hest 38inches, and the mobility 2} inches. It would bo ground for rejection if the man should be under weight, or if his mean j chest or chest mobility wore too small, The measurements of the chest ara made by having the recruit raise his arms above his head. The tape is cir cled around tho chest under the arm pits. As the arms are lowered and the air expelled, the measure is taken. Then a full inspiration, and the mean-I ure is taken again at the same point, The difference is tho mobility. mobility of over throe inches shows that the chest is in good expansive A condition.

Meint»*!** of the Hist oricnl Corslva lly Ki'niiliiiK in Washington Two striking figures have become familiar to people along the fashion able part of Rhode Island avenue and out Fourteenth street. They are al ways on horseback, sweeping along at a brisk trot or canter, aud whisking around corners with a reckless grace. The one is a man of striking appear ance, in high military boots and with the strong face of asoldier. Ilis heavy shoulders bend forward in an un-Amer ican fashion for riding, but his strong limbs and the bold carriage of his head attest that ho would bo an oi.. figure dismounted, and when his horse comes to a stand he sits his saddle as erect as a statue. His large, round head is set firmly, and his heavy black mustache, brushed straight out on either side and waxed at the onds in tho military style of France, and a black goatee, drawn down and waxed intho same style, give him a fierce expression, and bring to minda historic portrait. . His mount is a blood bay of largo build, which carries him at a sweeping trot.

Messages wore transmitted from peak to peak and down in the valleys by what is known as the heliographio system of signals. The heliograph, or sun-writer, consists of an arrangement of mirrors mounted on a tripod, and so adjusted as to enable the operator to throw a Hash of reflected sunlight on a distant point witli mathematical exact ness. In making signals long and short sun-flashes take the places of the "dots" and "dashes" of the magnetic sounder, the same call being used for both in struinents. In a clear atmosphere slg mils made by this instrument ean bo easily read by the naked eye at a dis tance of eighty miles, and by an expert operator at tho rate of fifteen words per minute. j To and fro across the valleys and lower mountain ranges flitted the mes sages which told of tho recent where abouts of tho hostiles, and close upon the heels of those messages came others ordering the troops in pursuit.
