St. Louis Pmmm reporter. who had
expressed oomc doubts on the subject.
“ Oh. no; there are in St. Louis dozens of

always paid without demur.

“ One young lady kleptomaninc manifests
her disordered mind in stealing buttons ;
everything else is sacred. but she invariably
edges up to the button counter and slyly
slips a card with a dozen or so of buttons
into her reticiilc. The boys at the counter
all know her. and place the the commonest
buttons within her reach. . Any kind satis-
fies her; still her bill for buttons during a
rear is something that would surprise you.
\s bcr family are good custoiiiei-s wc oflercd
to take back the buttons. But no. they said
they would rather consider anything she
took ‘out of the store in the light of a pur-
chase. Now the young lady in question is
a model of probity in all other respects. and
seem to be perfectly unconscious of any
transgremion of thc‘nioral iuw.

She is ncvcr allowed to go out shopping

" In well proportioned figures it is usual
to find the length of the body from head to
foot to be about eight times the length of
the face," says an. uptown artist. “ The
length of the hand bears a certain propor-
tion to the forearm. and this to the arm
from the elbow to the shoulder. The foot-
Zs in length shorter than the leg from the
inklc to the knee-joint. and this is shorter
than the leg from the knee to the hip. An
idea of the proportion which the limbs bear
to each other in \y be inferred from the fol-
.oning numbers. which appertain to a fig
are. measuring five feet ten inches from
head to foot: From ground to ankle. two
inches and 'scvcn-cighths ; from ankle to
knee, eighteen inches; from knee to ‘ .
nineteen and two-eighths: from hip to col~
lar-bonc. sixteen and six-eighths; from col-
lar—bone to top of hcm‘l. thirtccn and one-
cighth‘; length of foot. from heel to too.
ten and five-eighths: hand. finger-end to
wrist-joint. eight and three-eighth; wrist—
joint to elbow joint. tcn inches: elbow to
shoulders. twelve inches.“

Taking a long stick or alpcnstock. that
iome pedestrian had abandoned in a corner
of the yard. the artist continued : " If yoi:
wish to test your own symmetry. hercfs s
good method : Cut. this stick to exactly youi
own length. Then mark it at into twenty.
four equal parts. Numbor one should mark
about the ankltxjoint from the bottom of
your foot. number seven the knee. thirtccn
the hip. twenty the shoulder and twcniyi
four the top of the head. The length of
your foot should . be. somewhere betwocn
three and four parts. from your middle

The female head is smaller than the male

SI'I'JBP RAISING IN COLORADO.

A few ycars ago there was a craze to tom
clock companies in the “'cat to handle sheep.
Men of small means would form a company
having. any $10.00“ capital. The money
being paid in Viki pmmptly invcstol in
sheep. The shares I'LIt‘il high. Dividend!
of NI. 5" and 0‘le per cc llilli’. \verc confidently
expected. The n‘pcrts oi the managers
were always encouraging. It was consider ‘
ed a favor to sell a share of thi‘ highly
prised stock to a friend. It was like parting
with a chcl of price. The flocks have been
xuintcd th'n W. Any Eastern man
who wants to invcat in the stock of shecp
breeding companies can buy shares at his
own price. at any price. They are about as
valuable as the shows of Colorado silch
mines.

The business of herding shccp is the ltltlil

FARMER- ILORS OP CAPS tK-D-

 

An article in the Century describes “ Cap.
00d." and says of the inhabitants: “ A
mtpaclxct runs regularly from Cotuit to
Nantucket. It is quite common for thc‘
crews of coasting vessels hauled up in the
winter to tum to telling wood ; in this. as
in everything else. is seen a mingling of
rural maritime pursuits. Evin-y mariner
knows something of farming. and ovary
farmer is more or loss of a sailor. They
tell of an action against a town for injuries
from a defect in a highway, in which the
distance of a certain hole in thc‘road from
tho traveled path was in qurction. A town
floor had filed the distancc by actual
measurement. and tho only evidence for the
plaintii was that of a man who simply gave
his judgment. Nobody could guess how
the plaintiff‘s counsel would get around the
tvidcncc of the town officer. But he was
undaunted. ‘ Gentlemen of the jury.‘ he
