For the best dressed girl, by’ general consen- sus of opinion among first-class passengers, was a girl down in the third class whom hundreds of eyes had observed from the upper. She was a sturdy young woman from one of the northern provinces ,of Ger- many, a rare blond of the sort so seldom seen among the native Amer-|. ican stock. Despite sun and weather the skin of her hands and wrists, neck and forehead was of marble whitenéss that contrasted with the clear mot- tling of rose tints on her face. How Much Should You Weight Am I a string.bean? Am I a butter ball? Am I a-bathing beauty? If you are & bathing beauty, in all probability correct.weight for height is yours. If you are a string bean, it is likely that a little more flesh would turn your figure into the idesl one for your build. If you are a butter ball it is very likely that your weight s too much-and that you give the ap- pearance of a dressed-up sofa pillow. The ideal weight is engugh flesh to cover the angular bones and supply the body with reserve force and beau- tiful contour, but not enough flesh to stifie the heart action and merge into fat shapelessness. How can I tell what I should weigh? Health tal have been compiled from statistics taken from examina- tions-of thousands of men and-women and¥averages computed for age and height. These tables serve as a sort of health guide. Too much variation either way is a warning. Excessive overwelght is a danger signal, but so is excessive underweight. Normal weight is very likely to be accompanied with normal health. The present weight and height ta- bles only serve as a kind of measure by which a person may. get a line on his or ‘her corect weight. Individual build#and heredity will govern the weight to some extent. For instance, a large-boned, ‘tall woman should weigh more than a tall, deli- Marbles for Rusty Nails, Once I had a bag of marbles and Pete had & pocketful of rusty nalls.

Is. this true? And if so, can a Christian consistently be a user of the weed and thereby be a contributer to this great waste when the need for uplift in our communities is so great? Answer.—Though 1 cannot vouch for these statistics, there is no good reason to question the accuracy. If approximately correct, they may well give pause to excessive users of the Tobacco may be, as Charles Kings- ley declared it was, the hungry man’s food and the lonely man’s companion, but surely it should not interfere with the industrious man’s efficiency. Of course, some part of the expense ment in the form of taxation. But fts slaves, like those of drink, injure" themselves and the community. As for a Christian's consistency, this should be sought in his general conduct rather thap in a single sump- tuary habit. Many non-smokers are’undesirable citizens and many smokers are most useful and honorable citizens. Avoid strong sweeping judgments based upon feeble premises. (Conynght. 1826.) —_— !
