The Position of q House.

Gated on those going east and west, in a

brilliantly in the forenoon on the front,
and with nearly equal force in the after
noon on the rear. Thus dampness is ex:
PEELED, and the whole edifice is dry and
the air far purer for its solar exposure. If

those fronting north are decidedly the
best for residence, because the suns ac-

A Glaring Deficiency.

AMONG the sufficiently numerous de-
ficiencies of our beloved country is, the
want of an Education for the Children Of
the Rich. Physiological results of igno-
rance and of consequent mistakes in the
use of life-Or perhaps instead of mistakes
the term should be wrong conditions OF
sOciety,-in our great business centers,
make them often a sort of whirlpOOls into
which good strains of blood are incessant-
ly diving and disappearing. A strong
eager resOlute worker comes into the city,
intent on wealth. He plunges into a
career of furious unrelaxing vacatiOnless
struggling for money, marries, and he
and his wife 90 straight on in the same
road. Even while young man. even
though upright and pure in life, the fresh
ness and cleanly vigOr of his youth are
sOiled, dried, stagnated, enfeebled. by the
hot fury of his mOney-making. the dead
air of the city streets, life without exer-
else, vacation, or any health-giving con-
stituent; and the children born to him
are by a necessary result the physiologi-
col embOdiments of mistake, unbalance,
impel fection. They are born ill-cOnstruct-
Ell their very marrow and pith has weak
streaks in it; they are ships whose tim
bers had dry rot in them when they were
framed.
Now, of all the distinctions of man, the
highest is, his infinite power Of amend
ment, of reparation, of recovery, of i'm
provement. Even for the strengthless
sprouts of these unlucky city stocks,
neither psychologist nor educator-scien-
tific as we pretend to be-knows how
great q measure of redemption might be
secured by proper education of mind
and body. For our poor, our schools and
our life afford it. In other countries

InvidiOuS Criticism.

TIIERE is constantly great deal of in
vidiOus remark going the rounds OF the
press and, for the matter of that, the
rounds of society as well, upon the SUBJ
iect of feminine dress and all its appurten-
ance of frills and furbelOws.
In season of dull politics one would
suppose that the chief end of man was to
attend censOrially to the costume of the
weaker sex, and to spare no slur or fling,
ill-natured or gOod-natured gibe, that can
be made concerning it, and We imagine
that now that the Presidential campaign
is over, we shall be called upon to undergo
new exhibition of the thing.
EndeavOr to cOnciiate these evil-minded
critics seems to be useless. for no fashion
pleases them, let it be what it may: they
have no patience with the pure antique
they laugh to scOrn the ruff and fardin-
gale they pronounce the dress of the
First Empire indecent. the dress of the
Second Empire senseless; nothing is more
frivolous than the cress that Worth de-
signs, nothing more barbarOus than the
dress of an EnglishwOnlan, nothing more
-baby-like than the dress of the harem,
nothing more wasteful than the dress of
the American woman.
When, few years since, hoops ap-
peared, these critics compared a lady to
the planet Saturn within his rings; when
hoops began to go out, and paniers and
ruffles and sashes to come in, they COM
pared her to scarecrOw, with her rags
fluttering round her. When bOnnets
were large, they flung their pellets at the
faces that were seen down the vista of "a
Leghorn lanes" when hats were adopted,
they wondered how soon the rest of the
masculine garb would follow; when the
face was hidden i'm calash, they were gay
over mock-mOdesty; when bOnnets be-
came mere rose and ribbon, they had
their sneer for the braZen face of the wear
er; when youth and beauty went about
in prunella, there was not enough praise
to be accorded to the sensible high heels
of our ancestresses as soon as high heels
were accepted, it was discovered tiat they
produced incurable. diseases of the spinal
cord. 1he Puritans found it necessary to
enact a law against puff-combs the
present generation hailed with delight
the vermin in the jute. In short, there is
not fashion from fig leaves to crinoline
that has not been the subject of their AMI
madversions; and the only particles OF
feminine attire that 60 scot-free at present
are, for some unaccountable reason, the
two-buttoned glove and the thick-sOled
shOe.-Harpcr's Bazar.
