KOT Women Can Cure Surplus Ties* AND Too Much scrawniuess. from the San Francisco A Ha. One of the most important question.-; low agitating the mind of San 1 rati- nseans, particularly the feminuio par- don, is how to loose or gain flesh. Un- fortunately a peculiarity of our cliniato is an extreme one way or t] |fi other, u person becoming too fat or too thin. It is almost impossible to strike the hap- py medium, anil even whon once struck to keep it. When a man makes up his raiml that he is growing too largo he j;oe.s to work systematically, swathon ;iimself in wet bandages, takes long valk, perspires freely, bathes often, jat.s no bread and butter, nor potatoes, lor anything dainty <><' luscious, drinks lotliing but hot wah r, and reduces iinis:'lf nt onee. Some of our pronn- lent citizens hav.> reduced their ties!) n this Wiiv twenty, thirty or even forty pounds, and >!es"i\<' uivnt credit i"i' their sacrilie >. \lb--it all human history attests: Hi . r happiness for man—the hungry sinn< 1 Sine- F,v-' u^ih";;.ppl. s mm h depends on ner." Women arc .Mill not diet w W.. : 1 :i '1 'J- VI". u ;i I lv, 1 !• • .IBVIDRMAL : a!k when diet, iiecaiiM' i:ic'\ >i proper fc"'d T!Vi\" (hem correspondingly weak. There is a wealthy lady in ;'ur fit ', who weights upwards of o00 pounds, •uid she wants to get thin. She is not ible to v. cJk i'i ich. as she is too hcivv rur her ankl- - •>> endure the strain, kit she takes st' O.i baths three tim- - a week. She can not lie on tlie shampoo iablo to be rubbed, for she eouhl never get up again. The attendant, is obliged to perform this office for hi-r standing, and an exhausting job at i-. too. One of her breasts is as large as an ordinarily fut woman's stomach, and tier arm would match a good sized leg. The garment in which she bathes would make a comfortable night shirt for Capt. Kentzell, and yet it lits her like a jersey. The bath gives her such an appetite that she always comes pre- pared with a lunch of chicken, pate de foie gras sandwiches, and beer, enough for four people, but which she thor- oughly enjoys and finishes each time, and yet she expects to get tlun. Now, no woman likes to be called fat. Fat, according to Webster, means "fleshy, plump, corpulent; abounding with an oily concrete substance." Fleshy, as a descriptive adjective, is not 3o bad. Plump is just, tho tiling, and suggests a woman as— Being somewhat large.and languishing.and l.i/y Vet of a beauty that would drive you crazy. Few angles furei there in her form, 'tis true, rhinner she might have been ,and yet not lose; k'et after all 'twould puzzle to SHV where It would not spoil some separate charm to pare. That is being plump, but when it ?omes to ''corpulent, abounding with m oily, concrete substance," no wom- an wuuts to be spoken of as "that • fat lady," and yet. what is she to do? Some few have solved thu probh'm. ()no of Dur prominent seeioty lade s lost thirty pounds by living on tea alone for thiee weeks, and though she now eats all she wishes, she has never regained her llesh. Imagine the strength of her will, and let others emulate her who can. Anoth- er well-known lady amongst us has fattened steadily for years on a course of gymua-tics, dieting, and gallons of liot water taken daily. 1'at consists of two substances, stearin and elain, the former of which is solid, the latter liquid, at common tempera- tures, and on the different pro]portions of which its degree of consistence de- pends. Now, there is a superstition that very hot water, taken internally the tirst tiling in the morning, an hour before meals and tho last thing at night, increases the proportion of elain over stearin, and a great quantity of fat in stomach and bowels becoming liquid passes away; hence the hot-water cure. We don't say that this aforesaid lady imbibed the superstition with the water, but she fretted over her increasing size till she was almost sick. At last she decided to give up the struggle and be happy. Strange to say, she is growing thin. She is tho first instance on re cord of a woman who fretted herself fat. "Very few ladies, of any size at all, will tell how much they weigh, and she who does, excites the enmity of the rest, for she is such a '"give away" by jomparison. One honest lady, not so eery large looking, confessed^ before a aumber of friends, to 100 pounds. The look directed toward her by others ?quall.v well proportioned were simplv murderous. Men are almost as bad as the weaker 3ox in this respect. They will acknowl- edge 200 pounds with a great grace, but ifter that it is well they are not under aath. One handsome six-foot bachelor (married men don't care so much) varies from 212 to '21 •'>, novel* more, and yet hi- best friends would call 200 a light guess. Such is vanity ! ° Talking of comparisons of weight, oowever, it is hardly fair tr> judge one woman by another, they currv their f.it so differently. A woman With fleshy neck, arms and bust, often has shialle'r ?xtremitios than her thinner looking sister, and v.eighs less. A too large bust is a great annoyance, hence the practice adopted by many of bathing iu diluted vinegar. There are many ways to get thin, all involving more <tr less work and annoy- ance, and eonstmt watchfulness to keep off the Hosh when once lost. How much pleasanter it is to try to get fat and yet how difficult for a thin person ?pieiid ; d !<•)• tilt legs. One slim friend that after to accomplish. There is no necessity to curb the appetite in this endeavor On the contrary, it is Riven full sway and increased by every means possible. An indulgence in palatable things to . eat and drink is permitted, and a culti- ; vation of cheerful feelings and happy, indolence is absolutely imperative, and | vet the poor thin creature gets thinner : still, probablv.as one afllieted remarked. < from the effort of carrying around good ; dinners. j What a sad picture is conjured by i tlie expression, a lean woman. Refer- | ring once more to ^ ebstt r, lean means , j "wanting llesh, meager, not fat; that : part of llesh which consists of musel, s without tho fat." Imagine a woman all : lean, meager. To call iter thin is iu t quite so awful, and yet thin mean -, ; "having little thickness or extent fr one surface to the opposite.' Picture ; her back and chest between your two hands, and feel her of "little thickness." Slim and slender are better terms. No la- i V objects to being called slim, and slender brings to mind "A lovely being, scar 'ely formed or molded." Hut it won't do for old maids or shriv- eled matrons.

To eat supper j'lst before going to bed is a great aid toward getting fleshy. The food so taken goes all in fat. A nap after each meal is also e«mducive to the same gr. at end, but gentle exer- ois • should bo taken between meals to promote appetite. Large doses of fresh air, avoidance of envious thoughts, en- tire contentment with one's lot in life, OIK'S children, husband, relatives and friends, complete self-satisfaction—all are conducive to the same great end. There is one great advantage derived from the craze on fat or no fat. i It is a poor rule that don't work both ways, and many of the laws for gaining or losing flesh are tie- same, and are great health promoters. The formation of ten- nis, skating, swimming and walking clubs, and the p itroni/.ing of them by both stout and thin alike, is adding great- ly to the health of our ^vomen. The role of invalid is no longer fashionable, and it is considered rather a reproach to be debcite. San Franciscan* are rivaling Kngli-.h in their physi.pu; and powers of endurance. Small waists and feet or rather shoes, are going out oi style, and physicians who make female complaints a speciality are losing money. Our growing girls are well developed for their age. and, following the example of their mothers, are devoted to all man- tier of physical exercises. Pretty girls, naturally, perieet health will make them beautiful, and strong enough to stand any amount of mental culture. What may we not predict for the future of San 1 ranciseo, ruled by the sons of -.ueh women, for, after all. a boy is gen- erally like his mother.

KOT Women Can Cure Surplus Ties* AND
Too Much scrawniuess.
from the San Francisco A Ha.
One of the most important question.-; low agitating the mind of San 1 rati-nseans, particularly the feminuio pardon, is how to loose or gain flesh. Unfortunately a peculiarity of our cliniato is an extreme one way or t] |fi other, u person becoming too fat or too thin. It is almost impossible to strike the happy medium, anil even whon once struck to keep it. When a man makes up his raiml that he is growing too largo he j;oe.s to work systematically, swathon ;iimself in wet bandages, takes long valk, perspires freely, bathes often, jat.s no bread and butter, nor potatoes, lor anything dainty <><' luscious, drinks lotliing but hot wah r, and reduces iinis:'lf nt onee. Some of our pronn-lent citizens hav.> reduced their ties!) n this Wiiv twenty, thirty or even forty pounds, and >!es"i\<' uivnt credit i"i' their sacrilie >. \lb--it all human history attests: Hi .r happiness for man—the hungry sinn< 1

There is a wealthy lady in ;'ur fit ', who weights upwards of o00 pounds, •uid she wants to get thin. She is not ible to v. cJk i'i ich. as she is too hcivv rur her ankl- - •>> endure the strain, kit she takes st' O.i baths three tim- - a week. She can not lie on tlie shampoo iablo to be rubbed, for she eouhl never get up again. The attendant, is obliged to perform this office for hi-r standing, and an exhausting job at i-. too. One of her breasts is as large as an ordinarily fut woman's stomach, and tier arm would match a good sized leg. The garment in which she bathes would make a comfortable night shirt for Capt. Kentzell, and yet it lits her like a jersey. The bath gives her such an appetite that she always comes prepared with a lunch of chicken, pate de foie gras sandwiches, and beer, enough for four people, but which she thoroughly enjoys and finishes each time, and yet she expects to get tlun.
Now, no woman likes to be called fat. Fat, according to Webster, means "fleshy, plump, corpulent; abounding with an oily concrete substance." Fleshy, as a descriptive adjective, is not 3o bad. Plump is just, tho tiling, and suggests a woman as— Being somewhat large.and languishing.and l.i/y Vet of a beauty that would drive you crazy. Few angles furei there in her form, 'tis true, rhinner she might have been ,and yet not lose; k'et after all 'twould puzzle to SHV where It would not spoil some separate charm to pare.
That is being plump, but when it ?omes to ''corpulent, abounding with m oily, concrete substance," no woman wuuts to be spoken of as "that • fat lady," and yet. what is she to do? Some few have solved thu probh'm. ()no of Dur prominent seeioty lade s lost thirty pounds by living on tea alone for thiee weeks, and though she now eats all she wishes, she has never regained her llesh. Imagine the strength of her will, and let others emulate her who can. Another well-known lady amongst us has fattened steadily for years on a course of gymua-tics, dieting, and gallons of liot water taken daily.
1'at consists of two substances, stearin and elain, the former of which is solid, the latter liquid, at common temperatures, and on the different pro]portions of which its degree of consistence depends. Now, there is a superstition that very hot water, taken internally the tirst tiling in the morning, an hour before meals and tho last thing at night, increases the proportion of elain over stearin, and a great quantity of fat in stomach and bowels becoming liquid passes away; hence the hot-water cure. We don't say that this aforesaid lady imbibed the superstition with the water, but she fretted over her increasing size till she was almost sick. At last she decided to give up the struggle and be happy. Strange to say, she is growing thin. She is tho first instance on re cord of a woman who fretted herself fat.
"Very few ladies, of any size at all, will tell how much they weigh, and she who does, excites the enmity of the rest, for she is such a '"give away" by jomparison. One honest lady, not so eery large looking, confessed^ before a aumber of friends, to 100 pounds. The look directed toward her by others ?quall.v well proportioned were simplv murderous.
Men are almost as bad as the weaker 3ox in this respect. They will acknowledge 200 pounds with a great grace, but ifter that it is well they are not under aath. One handsome six-foot bachelor (married men don't care so much) varies from 212 to '21 •'>, novel* more, and yet hi- best friends would call 200 a light guess. Such is vanity ! °
Talking of comparisons of weight, oowever, it is hardly fair tr> judge one woman by another, they currv their f.it so differently. A woman With fleshy neck, arms and bust, often has shialle'r ?xtremitios than her thinner looking sister, and v.eighs less. A too large bust is a great annoyance, hence the practice adopted by many of bathing iu diluted vinegar.
There are many ways to get thin, all involving more <tr less work and annoyance, and eonstmt watchfulness to keep off the Hosh when once lost. How much pleasanter it is to try to get fat and yet how difficult for a thin person

to accomplish. There is no necessity to curb the appetite in this endeavor On the contrary, it is Riven full sway and increased by every means possible. An indulgence in palatable things to . eat and drink is permitted, and a culti- ; vation of cheerful feelings and happy, indolence is absolutely imperative, and | vet the poor thin creature gets thinner : still, probablv.as one afllieted remarked. < from the effort of carrying around good ; dinners. j
What a sad picture is conjured by i tlie expression, a lean woman. Refer- | ring once more to ^ ebstt r, lean means , j "wanting llesh, meager, not fat; that : part of llesh which consists of musel, s without tho fat." Imagine a woman all : lean, meager. To call iter thin is iu t quite so awful, and yet thin mean -, ;
"having little thickness or extent fr one surface to the opposite.' Picture ; her back and chest between your two hands, and feel her of "little thickness." Slim and slender are better terms. No la-iV objects to being called slim, and slender brings to mind "A lovely being, scar 'ely formed or molded." Hut it won't do for old maids or shriveled matrons. However thin women get the best of fat ones in many ways.

cise she was obliged to lay in a new supply of st vkings, as her old ones were far too small.
To eat supper j'lst before going to bed is a great aid toward getting fleshy. The food so taken goes all in fat. A nap after each meal is also e«mducive to the same gr. at end, but gentle exer-ois • should bo taken between meals to promote appetite. Large doses of fresh air, avoidance of envious thoughts, entire contentment with one's lot in life, OIK'S children, husband, relatives and friends, complete self-satisfaction—all are conducive to the same great end. There is one great advantage derived from the craze on fat or no fat. i It is a poor rule that don't work both ways, and many of the laws for gaining or losing flesh are tie- same, and are great health promoters. The formation of tennis, skating, swimming and walking clubs, and the p itroni/.ing of them by both stout and thin alike, is adding greatly to the health of our ^vomen. The role of invalid is no longer fashionable, and it is considered rather a reproach to be debcite. San Franciscan* are rivaling Kngli-.h in their physi.pu; and powers of endurance. Small waists and feet or rather shoes, are going out oi style, and physicians who make female complaints a speciality are losing money. Our growing girls are well developed for their age. and, following the example of their mothers, are devoted to all man-tier of physical exercises. Pretty girls, naturally, perieet health will make them beautiful, and strong enough to stand any amount of mental culture. What may we not predict for the future of San 1 ranciseo, ruled by the sons of -.ueh women, for, after all. a boy is generally like his mother.
