Now that the muddy season is upon
us, people who drive should he cautioned that the law recognizes rights of
pedestrians upon the crosswalks as
superior to that of the drivers of
vehicles. It is also an opportunity to
mention that their little game of
touching up their horses just before
reaching the crosswalks and thus
throwing mud over those who are
hurrying to get out oE their way ahead
of them, will sooner or later get them
into trouble if it is not discontinued.—

One of the test stories Joe Jefferson
tells of Ms early harnstorming days,
says the Albany Argus, was of the
time when, the company under the
management of Sol Smith, got stranded in a little Mississippi town, and
didn't have enough money to reach
the next stand where it was to play.
Luckily it was in the summer time
and the river -was full of llathoats plying to and fro with produce and live
stock. It "was the case of going the
whole hog or none. So Sol Smith,
who was an eloquent old actor, finally
prevailed on the skipper who was going down the river with a load of hogs,
to give the actors free transportation.
It may he imagined that the trip
Vas not cnjoyably spent in such unsavory company, but actors were
not as particular in those days as they
are now.
One evening the flathoat passed a
palatial steamer, the deck filled with
elegantly dressed southern ladies and
gentlemen. The captain hailed the
skipper of the flathoat: "What boat
is that?"
"The Mary Ann Jenkins, of Bum-
mersporr."
"And what kind of a cargo have you
got on board?"
"Oh, not much of a ono-only hogo
and actors."
The roar of laughter that went up
from the deck of that steamboat at
this announcement must have made
the engineer think that his boiler -had
burst,
American. Hips and Waists.
While a 19 or 20 inch -waist is a deformity in an adult woman, it may
justly be doubted whether the 26-inch
waist of the Venus de Medici is not
somewhat too large to be in proportion with the figure of the average
American woman. It is characteristic
of women of the highest types of the
Indo-European races to have wide hips
and narrow waists. In other races the
hips aro narrower and the waists
larger.- The American woman- appears, in consequence of her large hip
measurement, to have a smaller waist
than she actually has. To the unskilled masculine eye a girl with a
waist of 22 or 22 1-2 inches may seem
to have a wasp-like figure, when in
.reality her measurement is very nearly what it should be to satisfy tlie critical judgment of an artist or her family physician.
_ "The Venus de Medici is 5 feet 5
inches in height, 26 inches about the
waist, Si about the bust and 41 about
the hips. The women employed, as
"cloak models" by most of the great
dry goods establishments in New York
city are about the same height. The
measurements required of a "model"
5 feet 5 inches in height in one establishment are the" following:
Waist, 23 1-2 to 24 inches; hust, 34
to So; hips, 45 fo 47; base of skull to
waist; 16; biceps, 111-2 to 12.
A prominent physician recently gave
the following as the correct measurements for a well-formed, well-developed and healthy woman of a feet 5
inches:
Waist, 24 inches; bust, S31-2 to
341-2; biceps, 12 to 13; wrist, 51-2 or
5 3-4; hips' 44 or 46; calf, 13 to 14,
and ankle, 7 to 7 1-2.
The doctor's "model woman" has"
smaller hips and" a smaller bust and
about the same waist as the "cloak
model."
ANSWERED BETWEEN SNORES.
And "Received tbe Highest   Price   Ever
Given for Legal Advice.
It is not often a piece of legal advice
costs §200 a word, yet this .recently
happened in this city, says the Indianapolis News. Not long ago Morris
Butler, son of John M. Butler, who
had just arrived home from an evening
party at 2 o'clock in the morning,
heard a carriage drive up to the house,
and, a moment later, answered a ring
at the door bell. A young man of
handsome face and energetic manner
blurted out, without ceremony:
"What states can cousins legally
marry in?"
."I don't know," said Mr. Butler, as
soon as he could recover from the
effects of his visitor's bluutness, "but
I will ask father."
He went up-stairs, and, after much
knocking, aroused his father.
"Father," said he, "what states can
cousins legally marry in?"
"Kansas," was the single word in
response, between what sounded suspiciously like snores.
Mr. Butler returned down-stairs.
"Well, what does he say?" asked the
visitor.
"Kansas," replied young Mr. Butler,
laconically.
"Thank you!" The door was closed
and the young visitor was gone.
Nothing further was thought of the
incident until yesterday's mailbtought
Mr. Butler a certified check for $200
for "legal advice" from his hitherto
unknown client. This is probably the
highest rate per word ever piiid for
legal advice. It divides into $3.00 per
syllable and 133.33 per letter.

For nearly a quarter of a century
two tall towers have stood at the foot
of Hyde street, near Leavenworth,
almost on the edge of the beach. One
rises to a height of 110 feet and the
other reaches more than fifty feat in
the air. They are both very broad
and thick, and they have brick enoiigh
in them to construct several buildittgs.
They are relics of the flush old da ys
of the Conistock mining era, when
riood.O'Brien, Pair and others bamded
together and erected the famous ;3elby
Smelting and Refining Works. '[here
from the bonanza days of 1868 to as
late as 1885 the great chimneys he ilehed
forth fire and smoke. They never
stopped. Wreaths of flame an d volumes of soot circled in the ah; over
the domes at night time, whilei liun-
dreds of men toiled in and about the
works, catting and shoveling oue and
slag, molding bars of bullion a.nd" refining it to pure silver, gold, lead -and
copper.
In 1885 the Selhy company concluded to move its works. It *nas

transferred it by tons to the ne w

Selby & Co. did not dream that in
the towers which were left standing
and in the million tons of slag and
mineral-permeated soil much wealth
remained. They accordingly abandoned the place. The ground was
sold and nothing was thought about it j
for a long time.

the silver and gold lined towers and,

$10,000 for the chimneys alone. His.
object is to work them up and get the.
money out of them.     •
"I do not think I will have any trouble in getting the gold,   silver   and.

"It was on the advice of an English..;.
expert that Selby & Co. took a lot off,
the debris to Port Costa, and I am informed they got over ?500,000 out off.
