"OUR GIRLS.

Among our new books at the library is this
excellent work by Dio Lewis. 1t is not fifteen
chapters of stern, prosy advice, else the girls,
who always skip the long verses in novel,
would never read it. Tt is written in play
full style. with the wit and wisdom SO inter-
mixed that the readers interest does not flag
to the end. The topics discussed are dress,
walking, employments, music, dancing, thea
tire, exercise, etc.
The chapter on Sunshine and Health, / like
particularly well. That gloomy custom Of
keeping closed blinds and locked street-dOors
is already being adopted in the West. So con-
stantly am reminded of ''the fiies," or s'fa-
ding the carpets that it is only by stealth
that can ventilate my room, or let In enough
light to read without injuring my eyes.
In speaking of the frivolous life of some
girls, he asks what would be the effect of such
a course on yonng man. The idea is SO lu-
dierous. Think Of man who should spend
three monthsSWith every dear iriend' in
the city, the summer in entertaining that
friend at his own home and fill up the residue
Of the time with his tailor, ''piano practice,

in worsted, lying late in the morning, dress
ing three times a day and reading a few now

n young man. His mind would become uu-
steady, his will weak and yacillating, his body
soft and delicate. Add q glove-htting corset
to his wardrobe, and in few years he would
be utterly unfit for husband, father, or cit
izen."
On our streets may be seen some of those
complicated dresses, to trim which requires
one hundred and twenty-seven yards of rib
| on, whose owners have no time to read, barely
enough to look over the pictures in the ''late

The author In his ''Short Sermon on Matri

Joseph Randolph showed us Tuesday a sub
soil attachment patent that we believe will
prove 10 be just what our farmers most need
In this country. II is a very simple concern,
and Is calculated to be fastened to a common
plough In such u manner TO follow in the
furrow and loosen the earth TO whatever
depth Is thought best. II was patented in
Henry county, Illinois, in 1866, by Randolph
N. Gilbert. 1t is especially valuable, as it
does away with the necessity Of an extra team
and hand. Three horses and one man are suf-
iiciGnt TO work plow with the sub-sOil pillow
attached. Fuller information may be had by
calling on Mr.. Randolph south of town one

MIsTAKEN.-Some person writing TO the
Topeka Record from Cottonwood Falls lays
part Of the blame for the defeat OF the bonds
70 build depot at Toledo, to the opposition Of
Emporis. We think the writer Is mistaken.
Emporia people did not regard the matter rs
any OF their business, and we never heard The
matter mentioned here. Emporia could have
no objection to depot at Toledo. II could
make no difference to our people II there were
2dozcn derOty IN Toledo tswnship. We win
Sshture the assertion thai not half dozen
people In this city knew the day Of the cleo
ton on the bonds, and that not single citizen
ever tried to influence the question IN any
way whatever.
We remember that last season EmpoSia was
charged with trying to defeat railroad bonds
IA Chase and Greenwood 'cOrhties. One gen.
tIemasin- at Eureka, a1er the electlon was over
was eandIS enough 70 say that the ''EmpOria'
cry was only raised in Greenwood county fol
elec.ionscIing purposes. This was so il
chase county also Emporia did not try u
lphneHee aay Of he elsetOPs Referred ". So
las no objections, thai We have ever heard ex
pressa,l, 10 other counties voling all the bond
hsy please for whatever object they see II.
