Tiout lacing makes women dumpy In figure
Young end slight girls need nothing in the sbspe
of a corset. The continual wearing of stays causes
women, especially those of the upper classes, who
are not obliged to keep themselves iu condition
by work, lose, after middle age, a considerable
share of their height, not by stooping as men do,
but by actual collapse, sinking down. This is
caused by the perishing of the muscles that sup
port the frame In consequence of the constant press-
ure of stays.
Mb. A. M. g, SEBH.L0T promises to construct a
steamer which will make the trip between Mew
Yotk aud Europe lu four days. The vessel will
hive virtually two hulls, a lower aud upper, tho
lower Iu tho center to bo deep, long, narrow, and
at tho brws very sharp,Reducing the angle forward
by the line of tho bows where they cut the water
wllh iho line of the vessel's motion from ono of
flftccu degrees, aa now, to even three degreee.
When tho vessel ia deeply laden
will barely rest upon the water.
Tho calculations show thataslcamor so constructed
could obtain a speed of possibly tblrty-flvekuou an
hour, and at that rate four days would bo sufficient
for passage iu calm water from Mew York to Europe
in four days. If Mr. Rebillot makes a success. It to
probable tb«t pasicngor steamers will be built after
toe new fashion, while tho old stylo steemero will'
be devoted to tho freight traffic.

^ The causes which led to the present condition ol
Egypt began with Iho present century. Gradually
the Europcansobtafued a foothold, lmmensd sums
of money wero borrowed from foreign countries,
and the uatural result followed. A day of reckon
ing came, and the country pas-cd under Anglo.
French control. Arabl’s movement was a national
revolt against foreign rule. This was suppressed
and there ls not sufficient spirit left
