How FAsH1oNs CHANGE.-In 1925 marrow

How FASHIONS CHANGE.-In 1928 narrow
skirts and large bonnets were all the rage, as
vast skirts and small bonnets are now and the
press OF 1928 was as full of squibs about large
bonnets as the press OF 1866 and 1857 has been
of squibs about hoops. For instance an Eng
lish paper is credited with the following account
OF the advantages of large bonnet: "a lady
was walking on cliff at Margate with child,
when her bonnet flew into the sea the lady,
starting to save it, fell, dragging her infant with
her into the ocean; fortunately, she and her
child fell exactly in the midst of tho bonnet,
when the lady, using her parasol by way of scull
padded herself ashore to the great admiration
of the spectators"

The Girl With the Calico Dress.

A fig for your upper-ten girls,
With their velvets and satins and laces,
Their diamonds, and rubies, and pearls,
And their milliner figures and faces;
They may shine at party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess,
But give me, in place Of them all,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is plump as partridge and fair
AS the rose in its earliest bloom;
Her teeth will with ivory compare,
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step is as free and as light
As the fawn's whom the hunters hard press
And her eve is as soft and as bright
My girl with the calico dress.
She is cheerful, warm-hearted and true,
And kind to her father and mother;
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother.
If YOU want companion for life,
To comfort, enlven and bless,
She is just the right sort of wife
Ny girl with the calico dress.

SEPARATING THE SEXES IN SCHooL.-On tnls
point, Mr.. Stowe, celebrated Glasgow teacher
uses the following language :-"The youth ol
both sexes of our Scottish peasantry have oeen
educated together and, as whole, the ocotcl
are the most moral people on the earth. Edu'
cation in England is given separately, ana we
never have heard from practical men that any
benefit has arisen from this arrangement. some
influential individuals there mourn over the pre-
iudice on this point. In Dublin, larger mum
ber of girls turned out badly who had been ed
ucated alone until they attained the age OF ma.
lurity than those who were otherwise orOueh.

to be injurious. 1t is stated on the best autior.

converts, apart from boys the greater majority

in society and meeting the other sex. Ihey
cannot it is said, resist the slightest compliment
or flattery. The separation is intended to Keep
them strictly moral; but this unnatural seciu'
sion actually generates the very principles de'
sired to be avoided. We may repeat that It II
impussible to raise the girls as high, intelecto'
allv. without the boys as with then-and u i
impossible to raise boys morelly as high withou,
girls. The girls morally elevate the boys 1 ana
the bows intellectually elevate the girls. bu'
more than this-girls themselves are morally
elevated by the presence OF boys, and boys art
intellectually elevated by the presence "l gris
Girls brought up with boys are more posl,lVeiy

it to consist only OF water, with a little common

action upon the teeth was to dissolve portion
of their surface, which of course removed the
dark coating The continued use of this wash
would soon entirely eat away the teeth and des

that would 6l about $500 of the % cent vials,

WHAT A NEWSPAPER DOES FOR NOTHING
The following article should be read and pom
dered wel-by every man who takes newspa-
per without paying for it:
The result of my observation enables me to
state as fact that the publishers OF newspapers
are more poorly rewarded than any class ofmen
in the United States, who invest an equal a.
mount of labor, capital and thought. They are
expected to do more service for less pay, to stand
more sponglng and dead heading" to puff and
defend more people without fee or hope OF re-
ward, than any other class.
They credit wider and longer; get oftener
cheated suffer more pecnniary loss; are oftener
the victims of misplaced confidence, than any
other calling in the community. People pay
printers bill more reluctantly than any other
1t goes harder with them to expend dollar on
a valuable newspaper, than ten on needless
gewgaw yet, everybody avails himself OF the
use of the editors pen and the printers ink.
How many professional and political reputa-
tions and fortunes have been made and sustain
ed BY the friendly, though unrequited, pen of
the editor2 How many embryo towns and cit
les have been brought into notice, and puff
fed into prosperity by the press2 How many
railroads, now in successful operation, would
have foundered bnt for the assistance OF the
clever that moves the world" in short, what
branch of industry or activity has not been pro.
NOTED. stimulated and defended by the press2
And who has rendered it more than miser-
able pittance for its mighty servces9 The ba.
zaars of fashion and the haunts of appetite and
dissipation, are thronged with an eager crowd,
bearing gold in their palms, and the commodi-
ties there vended are sold at enormous profits,
though intrinscally worthless, and paid for with
scrupulous punctuality; while the counting room
of the newspaper is the seat Of jewing, cheaper.

lowing in letter:
l saw yesterday quite ceremony. 1t is no
less than lady in New York, who claims to be
the wife of our Bachelor President, Mr.. Buch-
anan. She is quite open and persistent in her
claims. She has in bed what she says are two
children, whom she claims as the Presidents
children, and nothing but the constant care of
her friends prevents her from going to Washing
ton, and demanding to be placed in the White
House as the lawful occupant of the domestic
department of that celebrated establishment
The lady is in the insane Asylum of Blackwells
Island, and her children are two white cats,
which she has trained to such docility that she
keeps them in bed nearly all day, sleeping be-.
tween sheets, on nice, clean pillow cases, all
tucked in like children, with caps on their heads.
All The visitors call on Mrs. Buchanan, see her
cats, and they allow the clothes to be turned
down and view to be taxed, without Oh effort
to rise from their couch. The name of one of
the cats is John @. Fremont, the other is Alex
ander Hamilton.

Changing Clothes.

The Synod of Kentucky was in session. The
subject of raising the salaries of certain profes-
sors was under discussion. The Rev. Robert ].
Breckenridge, D. D., (of whom his nephew, the
new Vice President, said, "If Uncle Robert had
been appointed to a command in Mexico they
would have been fighting to this time" was on
the floor, making speech in opposition to the
measure 1t had been said that ministers of high
standing and large means, clothed in fine linen.
and faring sumptuously every day, did not SYM
pathize with those whose salaries were small. =
To this DIR. Breckenridge was replying He
secuted the idea that Ministers live for money,
or desire the luxnries ofthe world. AS for him
self he challenged any man to say that he lived
more frugaly than himself Drawing himself
up to his full height, and standing six feet high
Mt least, he displayed his proportions and ex-
clamed-"As to the fine linen, ifthere is man
ON this floor who dresses more plainly than
do, offer to exchange clothes with him this
moment"
Directly in front of the Moderator and in
sight of most of the members, sat the Rev. Mr..
Hopkins, one of the planting clergy--a short
thick set and rotund brother, whose circumfer-
ence exceeded his altitude-and in this respect
no man in the house presented so strong and
striking contrast with the tall and courtly
Kentuckian. But the proposition to swap clothes
had hardly escaped the liDs of the speaker be-
fore Hopkins wriggled himself out of his seat
and on his feet and cried OUT
"Mr Moderator, I'm his man ~
The effect was instantaneous and tremendous!
The image of Breckenridge, with his long arms
and legs protruding from Hopkins troggery,
was up before the eyes of the Synod. They
could see nothing else think of nothing else
and for while they gave way to uncontrolla-
BILE laughter, in which no one Joined so heartily
as the discom6tted speaker
