It was lirst published al Charlestowu, Mass. Capt. Jamc?

"Hail Columbia" was written by Joseph Hopkiuson. in the summer of 17lt, and it was tirst called the "Presi dent's March." It was always sung when Washington came into the thea ter, and one of the objects of its writ- ing was the cultivation of a patrioth spirit among the peopla of the new Re public. It w as lirst put into music b a German music teacher at Philadel phia, named Both. "The Star Spangled Banner" wis written by Francis Scott Key whib watching the bombardment of Fori McIIenry, in 1814. He was in a smal' vessel among the British ships, and h saw his countrymen win the victory. All through the light he watched anx iously to see if the flag wm still stand ing, looking for it at night by the flash of the bombshells, and anxiously wait ing the dawning. 1 he ng was print ed in the Baltimore American eight davs after the. battle, wider the title ol "The Defense of Fort McIIenry." Many people will be surprised tc learn that "i ankee Doodle" ia not ol American origin. Even the words dat back beyond the days of Queen Anne, and the ton is still older. In the war? of the Ronndheads, says Commodore Preble, in his book on the flag of thf United States. "Yankee Doodle," ot "Nankee Doodle," was applied in de rision to Oliver Cromwell, and Pro fessor Rimbault, a prominent musician of London, wrote a song directed at Cromwell under this titie. The jingle of these two songs is about the same, and the words are not much different. Dr. Schuchburg first introduced the song into this country in 1765. and this waa also in contempt of the ragged colonial soldiers. At Concord and Lex ington the British, when advancing to ngnt, DraTerjr played Uod Jsave the Kane.' and after they were defeated the Yankees, as they watched their re- j treat, etruck up "Yankee Doodle."

I did see a good tigure once. She v, as almost perfect. You know the Venus de Medici is supposed to be the perfection of form. Well, this girl's fig ure was almost identical with hers. Had I wished to make a full sized statue I would uot have ehaup-d her ou- iota. She was a very wealthy girl and very indolent. Silting always in her room in neglige costume and taking so little exercise, she grew lo be the very perfection of grace. Kveiy pose was a study, and every more beautiful.

G'i inches around the wrist. You set she tapered 4 inches from toe bu-t tc, the waist; that is right. Then her hand and her feet were good and large. An artist always looks for large extremities. The feet of thi girl were 9 inches lonjr. 'What an immense h'of?' dc yoti say. Well, not so very larg 1 think it we a Xo. 4 shoe she iook. Now, here i- a cut of a foot do so large, you will say. Well, it measures j in ches. The fingers of the hand too, must lie long and taper with a curve backward at the tips. Women have come to me so proud of their hands, such tiny hands, and yet perfect de formities, with every finger warped and crooked. "I should have said, of coarse, that no figure can be good unless well rounded and free from angles. I must confess, though, that a fine statuesque figure would not look well draped in the present fashion.' Yes, I will give my idea of a fine figure in the present fashion. Bust measure, 32 inches; waist, 24; 9 inches from armpit to waist; long arms and long neck. Hy neck' I mean from the collar-bone to th chin; and. recollect this, I would far rather see the waist 25 inches than 8S. This figure shall be 5 feet 4 inches in height.
