Oyer.Dressed Women.

L am convinced, says a newspaper
correspondent, that there will come a
time when man will rise and assert his
preference for plainly dressed women.
He is just now ground into the dust
with. the tyranny of oyer dress. 1t an
noys him to think that the soul-harrow-
ing skirts and sense-withering bonnets
are sent out by the importers to be ex-
hibited, and that the goddess who night
ly gathers her laurels from mankind is
only touting for dry goods firm.
Plainly dressed does not mean shabbily
or inelegantly dressed; by no means.
1t means, L think, appropriately dressed.
1t is opposed to too-much and too-often
dressed. A richly attired lady is one Of
the abiding incentives to virtue and re.
spect. A tawdry and hashily dressed
woman is standing menace to respecta
bility.
And here let me say that the church
has attempted this advertising business
1 am told by a New York milliner that
those peerless ladies who appear in the
sanctuary ever Sunday in new bonnets
have them supplied regularly and gra
| tuitously by uptown houses. The
ladies rec ompense the houses by mention
ing the names of their firms when theil
bonnets are admired.
How shocked, these dear creatures
would be if their beloved pastor should
appear in his pulpit on Sunday with {
placard on his, breast inviting his con
gregation to buy their underclothing o
Jones and Jobson.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1875-11-04
The Children.

No weak. nervous child can sleep with
one of stronger physique without suffer
ing a loss of nervous vitality and power.
Each child in family should have its
own bed, says Scri6ner, and at the
proper age its own chamber; beds and
chambers to be clean, orderly and as
prettily furnished as the parents means
will allow. Especially is this necessity
with the daughters OF the house. Every
mother will remember how dear to her
self, in her girlish days, was the chance
of seclusion-the chest of drawers where
she could store away her laces, ribbons
and other dearer trifes: the locked desk
with the diary inside; the white cham
ber, with its snowy curtains, where she
could hang her dried ferns and photo
graphs, and sit alone to ponder over her
compositions, or read her Bible. A boy
has his fancies, tastes, hobbies, as we'll
as girl. He may not want seclusion,
but he does want elbow room, and he
ought to have it. Bob is mighty fish
erman, and cutters up the one closet
with poles and lines, hooks, and books
of flies. Jim has reached the autograph
stage, and must have desk and quires
of paper with which to assault every
body mentioned in the newspapers, from
Longfellow to Buffalo Bill. Tom has a
mass of old rubbish collected at junk,
shops, having caught the curiophobia
from his mother; and Bill heaps on tor
of all his balls, bats, old shoes, and half
! eaten apples.

A Shaky Prisoner.

The first prisoner out to be tried in
the Detroit police court, says the Free
Press, was shaking with fit of the
ague. He was bent over, his lips were
blue, his short hair stood up like bris-
ties, and as the shakes ran up and
down his back the chairs almost danced
around.
"This is a pretty state of affairs,
George Caini" exclaimed his honor.
r" Tell me, sir, what business you had to
have the ague just as 1 want to try you
for being drunk"
81 don't know" gasped George,
shivering as if q cold crowbar had been
run down behind his collar.
sis this the real ague, or are you try
ing to deceive me ?"
"It's the-the a-g-e-r." gasped the
prisoner.
"Do you feel cold 2" ~...
"Y-y-yes, sir. -
"And can't you keep your teeth from
knocking together 2" ,...
No:no-no-no, sir" t.
"Well, I'm going to let you shake
yourself out of court but harkee, boy
If they trot you in here again on the
same charge, and tho ague comes on,
I'll send out after ice, oilcloth, and all
the other cold things can think of, and
I'll freeze you to death and sell youi
body for lawn ornament Paste those
words in the crown of your hat, George
Gain, for I'm terribly in earnest. &c
home now, and il you meet an old friend
on the street and he holds out his hand
aud asks you to shake do you obligt
him."

Italian Tunnels.

Charles Warren Stoddard writes {:
There are forty tunnels between Pisa
and Genoa; the railroad threads the coast
so closely that but for its fortunate ele-
vation above high-water mark it would
incrust with the salt crystals that plunge
shoreward in the spray of many n gale.
So frequent are these tunnels between
Pisa and Genoa, and so long the gal
leries, which are, in other words, tun-
nels with rows of large windows or
arches hewn out of the wall against the
sea, that it seems almost as if this pic
turesque and stupendous chisseling were
the work of the sea and the storm. The
coast is very abrupt; cliff after cliff juts
out over the water like the wings in a
theater, all looking very much alike, and
alf-dozen of them usually being visi-
BILE at one time. The cliffs are hung
with creeping vines and decked with
ferns and aloes. They are each one o
picture, and from each I got some
pleasant little surprises, for as the train
emerged from the tunnel was sure tc
find kind of toy city, exceedingly
small. but complete in itself, clinging tc
the bluff ahead of us, and not very many
rods distant. In some, eases we haG
scarcely time to get used to the daylight
blazing all around the coast, before we
were dragged into the pitchy blacknes'
of the next tunnel. Sometimes +, W,
stopped in the midst of tunnel or gal
lery, and were amazed to find passenger
alighting- least was, fer it was all ,
novelty to me-aud when looked out o
the car window 1 found that the bluf
above us'was split in two, and through
the chasm very narrow and very steel
stairs cut'in the rock led up to the sum
init, where the edges of the houses wer
visible, with their blank walls glowing il
the sunshine. Thenext moment we wer
rushing on from cliff to cliff, abov
smooth stretches of sea sand as yellow
as gold, and below long slope of tn
hillsinland, sprinkled thickly with villa
even to their SUBMITS, where the cloud
leaned heavily and threatened rain.
