Likes a Clean l'lay.
Joseph Jefferson, who has always
sought to elevate the stage by present
ing clean plays, believes tjuit the ele
vation of the stage means the elevation
of society as a whole: that the increase
of the general wealth, bringing with
it the cultivation and graces of the
highest civilization, means that the
stage will keep pace with it. In an
interview recently given to an Eastern
critic, Mr. Jefferson s'ays:
“You ask me which sort of play is
bound to live? I answer unreservedly
that it is a clean play that will endure
longest. I believe, moreover, that the
people care most for the play of this
character; yet, on the other hand, it is
still true that the immoral play, if well
acted and produced In splendid fltshion,
will continue to be well patronized.
“Yet if there be immoral plays now,
how much, how infinitely cleaner is
the atmosphere of the stage of to
day than it was in the years of long
ago!

FOOD AND WATER.
From the New York Press.
The influence of certain kinds of
food upon the female form is apparent
to all who have made a study of mod
els. The woman of to-day, particular
ly the woman of society, Is overdevel
oped in places which probably were un
der-developed in early Greece. The
food of which they partook did not
develop abnormally that part of the
anatomy which the modern corset of
the modern divinity conceals, but had
its effect upon the neck, bust, arms and
particularly the lower limbs, rounding
them out into a perfect fullness.
Grapes and figs were the chief diet
of the women of the Hellenes, and they
produced the shapely ankle, the beauti
fully symmetrical calf, the classic knee
and the chiseled thigh.
female Shapelessness.
It is not necessary to go further than
the stage to study these matters at the
present day. The commonest defect is
the hollow thigh. Women tell me that
this is due not only to congenital mal
formation, but to the feminine habit of
crossing the legs. Venus and Juno
were never known to cross their legs,
and as they were born perfect their
thighs were not hollow. Another seri
ous malformation is the big knee. The
patella looks like a knot, and in many
cases it is necessary for women to be
bowlegged in order that their knees
may pass comfortably in walking. In
classic figures the caft really begins
at the ankle, the leg gently swelling
upward from that point. Many of our
latter-day women have "shanks," by
which I mean that the leg from the
ankle to a few inches obev the shoe
top is of about the same size, then the
gastrocnemius and soleus suddenly,
lump out into a shapeless hummock.
All women of the African race have
legs of this type, and the Caucasians
seem to be acquiring it.
Food EiTcfi Localised.
The great development of the meso
gastric zone in modern woman is due
principally to high living. Asa rule,
woman eats more in proportion to her
weight than man. She is eterrfally nib
bling at something. She drinks a great
deal with her meals—water, coffee and
tea, if you please, are quite as had as
wine when Indulged In to excess. She
is essentially a meat 'and vegetable
eater, and both foods make internal fat
where It is not desirable. We often
hear women speak of their “high stom
ach;” why. bless you, no woman
should mention such a thing. She
should not admit having a stomach.
Corned beef and cabbage never yet
produced a classic form. It Is said
that the lassies of Scotland have the
finest legs in the world. They eat
oatmeal. German girls have poor fig
ures; they eat sauerkraut.
Other Food Effects.
The most symmetrical women are the
Japanese, but they are very small.
Their principal food Is fruit, and they
drink sacki. Italian women have
splendid busts; they eat macaroni. The
women of Norway are without finish, as
a rule; they eat too much of fish. The
same applies to women of all other fish
ing countries. The coolie women are
very beautiful physically. Their chief
food is fruits and nuts. Persian wom
en are inclined to fatness; they eat
meats boiled to excess, with rice, and
are fond of sweetmeats and hard boiled
eggs. The illustration of food effects
on women might be continued indefi
nitely. The object of these reflections
iB to point the way to a proper devel
opment along lines of symmetry and
beauty. The best agents are simple
diet and soft water.
Soft Water.
People ask, “What is soft water?”
Well, Croton is hard water. The best
way to tell whether water is hard or
soft is to try It with soap and clothes
in washing. If there is much lather
and the garments wash easily, it is
soft; if little lather and a difficult wash,
it Is hard. People becoming ill in a
hard water country should go to a soft
water country to recuperate. Not
enough attention is paid to this point.
Rain water collected in cisterns is soft,
and is the best drinking water for the
health, though less potable than hard
water.

THE FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM
The Great Worh It Has Done During a Century of
Existence. •
BY RUTH StBWART LEAKEN.
The history of the Female Orphan
Asylum, at West Broad street and Ogle
thorpe avenue, would indeed be an in
teresting one, if all the details could
be given. How many noble women,
for several generations, have been
brought up under the spiritual guid
ance and helpful influence of the man
agers, who have given so much of their
time and substance to its maintenance!
In 1801, a meeting was held in the
then Independent Presbyterian Church,
led by Rev. Henry Holcombe of the First
Baptist Church. The object of this
meeting was to form an organization
for the care of orphan girls. The orig
inal number of directresses or mariagers
was fourteen—Mrs. Elizabeth Smith,
Mrs. Ann Clay, Mrs. Jane Smith, Mrs.
Sarah Lamb, Mrs. Margaret Hunter,
Lady Ann Houston, Mrs. Holcombe,
Mrs. Hannah McAllister, Mrs. Susan
nah Jenkins, Mrs. Ann Moore, Mrs.
Moore, Miss Rebecca Newell, Mrs. Mary
Wall and Mrs. Martha Stephens.
These ladles Worked so faithfully to
provide a home for the little waifs that
their efforts were crowned with suc
cess, when in 1806 the city donated a
lot and a frame building in the north
eastern portion of the town.
In 1810 the Georgia Legislature incor
porated, the society under the name of
"the Savannah Female Asylum.” An
early list of subscribers will
give some old Inhabitants an
idea of the popularity of this
beautiful charity, as well as
show its prestige. The work broad
ened to such an extent that it was
deemed necessary to go into enlarged
quarters, and the site at Bull and Charl
ton streets, at present occupied by the
Guards' Armory, was chosen, no doubt
on account of the advantage of its be
ing in the country, for this was in 1838,
and at that time few. If any, resi
eastern slope of a mountain range every
wife is a mother, families averuging
from five to fourteen children. On the
western slope the birth of a child is an
event. On one side the water is hard,
on the other soft. I do not now recol
lect which Is which. Couples that have
been childless for years move to the
eastern slope and are very soon blessed
with offspring. Here Is matter for our
dabblers in race problems.
A Modern Monte Crlsto.
From the London Telegraph.
There is a. Monte Crlsto living in
the island of Galita, the ancient Ca
lathe. This island, o- rather islet, is oft
the north coast of Tunis, between it
and the mainland. Not far from It
passes the submarine cable from the
African coast to Malta. It is said that
the place had long been neglected by
the French government, but lately it
was visited by a representative of the

with grounds. In passing it the Bull
street stroller was reminded of the
happy young people within, by hear
ing the even-songs at twilight. After
the lapse of half a century, the city
had entirely surrounded the home, and
it was decided to leave this neighbor
hood and to purchase the old Teifair-
Wetter house, the present abode, where
the public is made welcome to see
the great work and to realize that about
fifty children tire inmates.
The words of our Lord, "Suffer little
children to come unto Me and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom
of heaven," seems to be the spirit that
pervades the atmosphere of the home,

little ones show their appreciation of
the loving care of the matron, Mrs.
Itragg, who for twenty-nine years has
been their faithful friend and "mother,”

some praise that through all these
years the institution has been permit

his native land owing to an affray in
1850. He went to Galita, and, in ex
ploring the island, entered a cavern,
where, just like the mariner whom the
imagination of the elder Dumas turn
ed into a millionaire, he found a
treasure. In a large hole were heaps
of Spanish doubloons and piastres and
many gold and silver coins from va
rious countries. Signor Darco long
sat dazzled before the doubloons. Then
he selected a few bagfuls of these
coins and started for Naples, where
he changed the old money, supposed
to have been left in the cavern by the
pirates, or corsairs, who once infested
the Mediterranean, for current cash of
the day. He returned toward his is
