Girls at School.

Mrs Jane G. Swisshelm takes rather a
gloomy view of the co-education of the sexes.
She says that boys and girls are now just as
much competitors in the race for learning as
though they were admitted to the same coll
edge halls, as in her opinion they ought to be !:
but the girls are at tremendous disadvantage,
and fall early in the race to fill untilney
graves. The main reason of this disadvantage
she finds in the fashionable dress of the day.
She says; ~
BY means of corset, band, or belt, her liver
is divided into an upper and lower section,
the one forced up to crowd the heart, lungs,
and stomach; the other down to find room,
as it can, where there is no room for it.
Every vital organ is displaced or cramped
Blockades are established, by tight shoes,
[tjgflt gloves, tight garters, tight corsets, Or
still more murderous, tight skirt-bands; and
there the blood must run by extra force of
pumping, every time it passes from the heart
to the extremities or back. To
study in such costume is to burn the candle
at both ends, but the spirit of the age is upon
her; the ages to come press on her; study she
must, and die She must.

INTEGRITY il virtue which costs much.
In the period ofpassion it takes selfdenial to

it requires very much earnestness of character

or official power over them. But what a
magnificent recompense does it bring to any

EvADING DAMAGEs-The Indiana salDon
ksepeas are just now busy in devising methods
of escaping the liabilities of the State liquor
law, which is very similar to the "Adair law"
in Ohio, in that it provides for the collection
of damages from liquor sellers by members of
the family or other relatives, in case the drunk
asd abuses his family or does other mischief.
The saloon Reeperso Of Budtown have issued
regular notification to. the public that, having
obtained license according to law to sell spir-
itous liquors, they propose ~ eondHet their
business according to law. They therefore,,
notify all married women who do not want
them TO sell TO their husbands to leave written
notice tp that effect within three days, "and all
unmarried women or girls who have 'fellers'
or bcaus whom they do not wish to have TAX
idg their bittcrs at our bars will please give
like notice" They haye also issued "a formo Of
perma for the use of wives, in which they
grant the husband the right to drink when and
what they please, and waive all claim for dam
| ages arising thcreirom.
