The Young Doctor Couldn't Vac- cinate Them. THE PECULIAR WAYS OF WOMAN, Earopean Women—Bad for the Blondes—Chinese Women's Feet An Eccentric Woman— The Work of Wine, Bad For the Blondes. Dr. Beddoe, of London, is responsible for a statement which is at once novel and surprising. He declares that the chances of dark women obtaining hus- bands are to those of fair women in the proportion of three to twoand that this conelusion is proved by statistics. Cer- tainly this isin opposition to the gen< eral idea upon the subject, For ev dark heroine of a novel there a twenty fair ones; while, althongh a few poets may have sung the praises of dark oautios, those who have celebrated the charms of fair ones are vastly more numerous. Among the lower classes of English, indeed, there is a general prejudice against dark haired women, it being & fixed idea that thoy possess infinitely worse tompers than fair women, Were Dr. Beddoe’s theory correct, that three brunettes marry 10 two blondes, it would certainly be found that almost every unmarried lady past the age of thirty belong to the Intter category: which is certainly not the case. At the same time, the fact that the hairof the people of thisisland is bocoming distinctly darker than it was is one that cannot be denied. Per- sons who can look back half a century will be ready to admit the, change in this respoct. Forevery red-hairod por- 30n to be seen now, ten would have been met with fifty yen change continues at the same rate, in another half century red-haived people will have become so uncommon thata red-haired lady will be one of the most attractive figures in a country show. The Chinese Woman's Feet. Chang Tae in the Philadelphia Press: The feet of Chinese women are made small in a very simple manner. The process bagins at the age of five or six years. The foot is tightly bound, so that the circulation of blood ceases and the toes are crushed together. The bandaged foot is inserted in a short, narrow-pointed. shoe, in the heels of which a block of wood'is placed, so that the girl appears to be standing on her toes. Sometimes bandagoes are wound around over the shoe. The foot, of course, grows smaller, but, in conse- quence of the shrinking of the skin, seems round and plump. Stockings are not worn. If everything goes all right the foot assumes the desired form in two or three yoars, heing gradually shrivelled up. The poor girls often have to undergo great pain. Spmetimes the skin and flesh burst under the terrible pressure, and occa- sionally incurable injuries result. Tt is dangerous to hasten the process, and especially so when at the beginning of the operations the girls are beyond the usual age. Not infrequently the at- tempt is made with fifteen or sixtee. year-old daughters. In such cases the | process is ditlicult, for the foot has al- most reached its full growth, and the pain is unbearable. The soles of the shoes are from three to four inches thick. The girl appears, therefore, to be taller than she really is, #&nd walks with an uacertain and affected gait. is practice of deforming the feet prevails only among the upper cla. and those who affect the munners customs of their superiors i Among the lower ¢ . wlere the de- formity would unfit a girl for necessary labor, the feet are allowed to grow nat- urally. This establishes a sort of caste sign., The father of a tiny-footed maiden will not permit her to marry a wan whose mother or sisters have not artificially diminutive feet. The wri ten 1 of the land do not refer to this custom in anyway; it wonld be much as if American legislation should deal with tight lacing. The Peculiar Ways of Wom At a meeting of a dozen ladies the day to organize a lodge of the s Daughters, the utter unfamil- iarity of women with parliamentary law, or even with the general idea of organization, was somewhat humorously illustrated. After they had sat looking at each other a trifle norvously for awhile one of them said: “Well, here we are. What are we going to do?” “0, dear.” said another. know, but let’s do something. At lastayoung lady suggested they might try not to say mean things about other people until next meeting, any- way. [verybody thought thatwould be nice.

And nobody objected to names proposed for secretary and treasurer, eithe A few days later the fair secrota consulted a gentloman acquaintance as to how she should write up the minutes of the meeting. “Well, you ought to begin by sa who was chairman of the meeting.” “Why, we didn’t havo any chairman” said tho girl. **Who th put the motions before the meeting?” asked the gentleman. “0Oh, we didn't have any motion. Somebody would suy she thought such a thing would bo nice, and all the others would say they thought so too. That wis all,”” “If that was the case,” laughed the gentleman, *‘you would have to set it down in the minutes that such and such moeasures were informally ap- proved, But you must state clearly that the club was organized and write out the name of your particular branch or lodge and the constitution and by- laws, vou adopted; aud then—" “But we haven't gotany u ' in- terrupted the girl,"and we didn’t adopt any constitution and by-laws.

The Work of Wine ] | Apropos of the tervible work ofintem- back; and if the ] ranco, says a writer in the Scranton Pa.) Times, I heard a pathetic, and at the same time an 1nteresting story, not long sinoa, of how, by the ncquired habit of visiting fashionable restaurants and sipping champagne a handsome and highly educated young woman became 58 drunkard. The man in question is now abandoned by her hus- band and family ana she lives only !‘(-l' the pleasure of prolonged periods of in= toxication. TLess than two years agoshe was belovod and coted by all who knew her and her nd was only happy when in her presence; but to-day he is broken hearted, and goes that indi- cntes that his reason is being gradually- but surely dethroned. The young wife who has eansed so much sorrow formed the acquaintance of a female friend 800N after she m: ried, who frequently took Re to lunch at a prominontrostaurant when upon shopping expeditions. Hor friend, in order to show her hospitality, invar- bly ordered wine. and. at first, the young wife fintly refused to taste it.but, Whon told it was fashionable to sip the boverage at such places, she relonted and did as she was instructed. [na lit- tle while she had developed such ataste for the sparkling liquor that her friend heoame }l‘iuhlmmd. hut it was too late. The young wife had acquired an appe- tite that could not be controlled. Tn vain her husband and parents pleaded with her, but her ears were deaf to their pathetic entreatics. They bore with her shame until they were com- pelied to turn her from their luxurious home; not, however, until every effort had been made to-induce her to reform. The anguish of the young woman's par ents beggars deseription.and only those who have experienced shame and sor- row in their worst forms can begin to understand the tribulations of the sor- rowing couple, The companion who induced her to take the first draught i a mental wreck from the intense suff ings shoe has experienced in witnessing the young wife’s downfall. The Young Doctor Couldn't Vaccinate Them. Maidenly modesty and femalesanity have hada thr“~>_f.r\1gglr' among the young ladies in this'city, and especially at the fashionable schools, since the small-pox began, says the Philadelphia Record. The young women dread the disease, which, even if not fatal, might prove deadly to their physical charms, and vaccination was therefore welcomed by all, But the difficulty was that few of the young ladies. with visions of re- ceptions next winter before them when they would appear in lgw-cut corsage and sleevel bodices, cared to have the disfiguring marks placed upon their arms. In consaquence there has been a groat demand, especially at the fash- ionable boarding schools in the city, for elderly physicians to whose care the young ladies could sub:mit themselvas for vaccination, As they would not be vaccinated upon the arm and they did not care to have the pimple on the end of the nose, it has generally been decided by the fash- jonable female to_have the delicate op- eration performed on the calfof the leg. This required the servicesof the elderly practitioners, as the ladiés were loth to submit to the gaze of the youthful doc- tors. A lady who manages a fashionable boarding school near Broad and Locust streets last week determined to haveall of the young ladies in her charge vacei- nated, Those who were boardersat the scheol were to he vaccinated by the physician, an olderly and well-known practitioner, who has usually been called in to attend such ills as school girls are heir to. The young ladies all protested again. the marking of their arms, and it was determined, after solemn confer- ence. that each one should be vacein- ated upon the calf of the leg. Th entirvely satisfactory until the day ay pointed for the operation. Instead of coming himself, the doctor sent his assistant,a very young man with a blonde mustache, whom the girls declared lcoked *just too sweet.” There a hurried consultation of the ladies: “I'll take the small-pox “He shall not vaccinate me!” Such were the exclamations of the girls. The young doctor was compelled to retire, and the kindly old gentleman who is his preceptor sent for. The girls then submitted without a murmur. A well known physician _said yester- day: “T doubt 1f there is & woman o r! above fifteen in the city who will sub- mit to a vaccination on the arm. That, of course, is natural, and is feminine.” Talk About the ** Weaker" Sex. Society women nowadays thoroughly alize the importance of good health the matrimonial market, and New York women are to-day much stronger and healthier, as a rule, than the men are, says the New York Mail. A few minutes on Brondway, between Four- teenth street and Thirty-second, on the west side of the street, of aturday afternoon, will demonstrate the trath of this assertion. The women, asa rule, are fresh of face, ercet of carriage, their heads are well i and their arms well rounded. figures are trim and they walk along with a strong and regular stride. The men, on the other hand, are too often sallow and loose-jointed, flat chested and hollow- eyed, and certainly but little else can be expected when the late hours usually kept by them are considered and it is remembered how many dozen of cigar- ettes they smoke during the day and how many deadly cocktails are imbibed. European Women. In a bouquet of European women the Viennese can be at once distinguished, says Oscar Wild’'s Woman’s World, Sho has a charm, a distinction, all her own., Less reserved in manner than the average Englishwoman, and less artificial thun the Parisian, she makes un almost ideal hostess. Generally pretty, always graceful, and dressed with a ehic which she has herself in- vented, the Viennese is, perhaps, studied to most advantage in her own drawing room. Wateh her as she moves quietly about among her guests, charm- ing to'all alike, forgetting no one, let- ting no dotail escape her watchful' eye. Snobbishness, the darting vice of the Londoner, is unknown to the dweller in the Austrian capital, unless the unpar- alleled exclusiveness of the court may be counted under this head. Many na- tionalities combine in the Viennese, In here we find the idealistic Hungariah, the sensuous Slay, the practical Ger- man, the impassioued Italian and the innguid Oriental, for all these diverse nutionalities are fused in the Austrian, These untagonistic elements ure, how- evor, corrected by a training and odu- cation ‘more English than French in eharacter; for the Austrian givlis no ingenue, no bread-and-butter miss, i even in her early teens.

One ot the newest vests is of shirred tusks, made by taking a length and a half of stuff, and after tucking with strong threads draw- ing them up to the préper shortness. The changeable or shot effect in ribbon is produced, not as in the case of dress fabrics, by warp of one shade and woof of another, but by dyeing one hue ever the other. Tulle, fully pleated, puffed or flounced over silk, is the favorite gown for a youthful bride, and silver and pearl passementerie are chosen for such wear in the place of gold. To smarten the sleevés of last summer's afternoon gowns fasten a breadth of narrow piece lace under & bow at the shoulder, and catch it on with two more at the elbow and wrist. 4 R Bridesmaids wear bften the soft China silks, or even surah, inwvhite or pale colors, made with long, fully:¢urved draperies, sim- ply bordered avith inl:;h-\v le ribbon, which also edges the hardly ucc? pleating at foot of the skirt. 1 Belva Lockwood, sitibe er nomination for the presidency, has botght' a stunning new bonnet.

The Great Zola—Ingersoll's Phrases— The Sultan and the Lion—Sena- tor Frye as a Fisherman— Jackson and Lincola. The Great Zola. M. Zola, the novelist, has just com- pleted his forty-eighth year. Hisfather, an Ttalian by birth and an engineér by profession, died when Emile was in his eighth year. Emile became clerk to the I'rench’ publisher, Hachett wrote verses which nobody would print, and was at one time so poor that he lived during the. best part of a winter on bread and oil. His first prose work, a collection of short tales, was published nearly a quarter of a century ago, but it was the novel, ‘‘Theresa Raquin,” which first brought him into note. Hi extraordinary s>ries of ‘‘naturalistic romances began to be published in 1871, and almost from that date he has been the leader of the school or family of nov- elists which he considers Gustave Flau- bert to have founded. He is a tircless worker, amasses (as Flaubert did) an extraordinury quantity of notes for every book he writes, and_prefers rural to urban surroundings while writing. A Millionaire's Begloning. A story was published not long ago that Congressman William L. Scott, of Erie, was once a fish peddler, An old and distinguished citizen of Mr. Scott’s career as a page in the halls of cou- Afterward he became a ware- for General Road of B and in 1857 he went into the warehousc business himself. At that time railroad stocks were low,and he invested. Tt wa the beginning of his present colossal fortune, estimated at $20,000,000. Mr. Scott does not dress like a rich man,but wears an ordinary cheap suit of salt and pepper colored tweed. His hat is a derby, not always carefully brushed, and worn rather low down on his fore head. Heo walks somewhat stooped- shouldered and is paleland consumptive looking.

Boston Herald: Thaddeus Stevens had two weaknesses, an inconquerable love for poker and & heart so tender thathe would give his last cent to re- lieve distre: Betweeu the two he was usually very far from ‘‘flush.” One night he had a ran of luck at cards, came out winner to the amount of an even $100, and when his checks were cashed he received D new bill that denominati morning He went to the the usual tim and was ther ylaid by a soldie widow, who had a piteous tale of s and suffering to relate. o his hand his pocket, found th bill—it was all he had—and handed it to the astonished widow A fellow- member was standing by who had seen the game the night before, and knew where the money came from. Stevens caught his eye, smiled, and. by way of explanation, said: *“God moves ina mysterious way His wonders to per- form.” Colonel Ingersoll's Phrases. Colon el Ingersoll has become famous for coin ing popular phrases and feam- ing epigrammutic sentences. His ref- nce to Mr. Blaine as the “plumed ght” when he presented the name of the Maine statesmun to the national re- publican convention in 1876, was at once taken up the party and became a rallying cry for them when their favol ite “was nominated four years late Colonel Ingersoll’s eulogy upon I Conkling shows that he has lost none of his originality., One of the gems of that address is the sentence: He had the pride of a prince and the forfune of a peasant, nother is the distinetion between pride and vanity. The orator admitted that Conkling wus proud, but declared that he was not vain, He continued: “'Vanity rests upon the opinion of others—pride on our own. The source of vanity is from without— of pride from within, Vanity is a vane that turns, a willow that bends with every breeze—pride is the oak that de- fies the storm. One is cloud—the other smoke.

After the little civilities had passed he asked me to tell him about the case. ‘Why, Mr. Webster,’ said T, ‘s it pos- sible you know nothing of the case?’ ‘Nothing whatever,’ said he. ‘Tell me about it.” “1 was utterly dumbfounded, and pointing to a pile of testimony a foot deep on the table, 1 said: ‘How am I to convey all that to you in the little time that is left us? “He said: “*Oh, never mind details. Give me the case generally and tho salient points.” *‘He sat downat the table opposite me and I gave him a rapid synopsis of tho case, which took two hoursand more. One point I especially ealled his atten- tion to. The opposing counsel were bent on seouring a continuance of the case, whilo our interests demanded an immediate decision. As a reason against granting tho continuance I cited tho fact that the other side had protracted the cross examination excessively, occupying six days in the case of one witness. “Mr. Webster bade me good night after [ had concluded and went to bed. The next morning he came into court as serene and majestic as Jove himself, while I was nervous and apprehensive tothe last degree. He began his ad- i H dress to the court with that slow, pon- derous gravity that was so chardcte istic of him in the outset of his forensic efforts, then gradually warmed and quickened.
