use of dress is his, the fuss hers2 The

1t takes more and worse than brains to
dress as women are expected to dress. It
takes morals.
That few pure minded women know or
think, in donning the latest modes, that
they have sprung from the corrupt ingenu-
ity of Partisan harlots only makes the mat
ter worse. Good women ought TO think.
1t is their duty to see, not to ignore, to ex-
ile not to overlook, an immodest style.
The mischief and misery will never be re-
medied till they do. Bad women think,
meanwhile, and society responds to the
thinker, irrespective of moral quality.
If every woman who has the training OF
young girls in her hands would teach them,
as fast and as far ms slow and as finely, as
carefully and as tersely AS she can, that the
entire past and present theory of feminine
dress is degradation to good woman and
an opportunity to bad one, she would do
more toward saving the world than any
pulpit but the New Testament, and than
any preacher but st. John.

TAKING A SwIM.-At a religious cOnven-
gymen who were in attendance went down
to secluded spot ON the river bank, in the
afternoon, for the purpose of taking swim.
This score of brethren removed their cloth
ing and placed it upon a railroad track close
at hand because the grass was wet. Then
they entered the water and enjoyed them
selves. Presently an express train came
around the curve at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, and before any of the swimmers could
reach dry land, all those undershrts and
socks and things were tluttering from the
cowcatcher and speeding on towards Kan
sas. 1t was painful for the brethren, ex-
ceedingly painful because all the clothing
that could be found, after a careful search,
was sun-umbrella and a pair of eye
glasses.
And they do say that when those twenty
marched home by the refulgent light of the
moon, that evening, in single file, and keep
ing close togther the most familiar acquain-
lance with the Zouave drill, on the part OF
the man at the head with the umbrella
still hardly sufliced to cover them COM
pletely They said they felt conspicuous
somehow, and the situation was made all
the more embarrassing because that nigh
all the Dorcas Societies, Woman's Rights
Conventions, and the pupils at the female
boarding school, seemed to be pralfcinl
around the route of the parade.

SH.ELL IJ.O.uE.v BB ADMITTED
TO COLLEGEf

The movement in favor of the admission
of women into our higher colleges and in
stitutions of learning appears TO have be-
come genera. At Harvard, Yale, Will
liams, Amherst, Middlebury and Burling-
ton, the question has come up and found
able advocates among alumni and friends,
and not few even of the Presidents and
professors have taken strong ground in IA
vor of the new movement. That the halls
of all of these institutions will sooner or
later yield to these efforts, there can be lit
tie room for doubt the dictates of policy,
no less than of reason and justice, being
strongly in favor of the change. In fact, it
is only among our eastern colleges that the
question of the co-education of the sexes
is regarded as new and unsettled. For
some thirty years men and women have
been educated together in Ohio, in the col
legs and high schools of that State, until
today the arrangement is considered mat
ter of course, and no one regards it as ex-
perimental, or thinks of questioning the
consequences. At Obcrlin and Antioch
Colleges men and women pursue the same
studies, as members of the same classes.
And Oberin is no 'lreshwater College,
1t has often had from 500 to 900 students,
and the course of study is as severe and
high as it is at the University of Michigan.
Why, then, all this laughter, wonder and
comment in Eastern journals, about adj
hitting women to Amherst, Williams,
Yale, and Harvard Colleges? The alumni
of Amherst thought well of the PROPOSE
ton, and cheered it. Nevertheless, Mr..
Beecher felt called upon TO make an ex-
plantory speech in relation TO ii. We are
told that at the late commencement at Will
liams College, Prof. Bascom threw bomb
shell into the meetingof the alumni by the
proposition to admit women to all the priv
ileges of the college course, the sheepskin
included, clubbing them as Bachelors of
Arts. The proposition stirred up cosidera-
BILE commotion among the grave and con-
servative trustees, but was welcomed by
many of the alumni as Il step forward in
the right direction.

DISCOVERY OF a NEW MOTIVE POWER.
A citizen of New Orleans has recently been
so successful in experimenting with fluid
gas Of ammonia as a motive power that he
claims that there is probability that it
may suporsedo horsepower on street rail-
roads. Liquhed ammonia, when objected
to heat of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, turns to
vapor, which produces pressure of 80
pounds to the square inch This pressure
is applied like steam, and is subject to the
same controlling influences, When intend
ed to be used for the purpose of propulsion,
the ammonia is poured into system of
tubes, deposited in a tank OF water in such
a way that the gas which passes through
the cylinder, instead of escaping into the
open air, may be carried through the eI-
haust pipe, and be absorbed by the water
In this manner the ammoniated water Is
preserved, and being reinstilled, is capable
of being used over again several thousand
times, wearing out only at the rate of q
per cent per annum.
