Dress of Women Among The Aziecs.

There was no difference in the dress of
the women throughout Anahunc. The
huiPil and cWciH were the chief articles,
and wcrC universally used. Besides these,
mantlcs of various shapes and materials
were worn. The huipil WAS kind of
chcmisc, with either no sleeves ut all or
very short ones; it covered the upprr
part of the body to little below the
thighs. The lower part of the body WAS
covered hy the cucitl, u pcttic0at, rcucll-
ing to about half way between .hc knees
and ankles, and often nicely embroidered
nmd ornamcntcd. Skins, ixco,l, or palm.
librC, mcqueen and cotton were the mate
riaIs used for these garments. Out Of
doors they frequently put on another over
dress similar to tho huipiI, only longer
and with more ornamental frin9cs and
tasscls. Sometimes they wore two or
three of these at the same time, one over
the other, but in that case they were of
different lengths, the longest ono being
worn underneath. 4 mantle, similar in
size and shape 10 that used hy the men,
white and painted in various designs on
the outside, was nlso used by the females.
To the upper cdgc Of this, on that por-
ton which was at the back Of tho neck,
capuclIin, like tina; worn by the Do.
minicnn and other monks, was fastened,
with which they covered their head.
To protect their feet they used sandals
hy the Aztccs called cdctii, which were
made of deer or other skins, and fro
.fucntly also of mcqueen and cotton. The

TYNDALL'S GLOVE LIFTED.

There is a sect in England called the
peculiar People" Their peculiarity
consists in the fact that they believe
the Apostle James meant exactly what
he said when he wrote: "Is any sick
among you? Let him call for the
elders of the church and let them pray
over him, amounting him with oil in
the name of the Lord, and the prayer
Of faith shall save the sick, and the
Lord shall raise him up" Believing
that these words and this promise is to
be understood in their plain, natural
sense, and not spiritualized away by
ingenious explanations till they mean
nothing at all, these peculiar people
use no worldly medicine, not even
vaccinating themselves, but having
faith in the virtue of prayer and oil to
save the sick. Exhibiting their faith
by their works, they are about to erect
hospital in London, where no medi-
cine but prayer and oil shall be used.
They thus boldly accept Prof Tyndall's
challenge to make test of the efficacy
of prayer to heal the sick, in the very
manner he proposed. They take up
the gauntlet which the unpeculiar re-
ligious world was too timid, or too
wanting in faith, to lift, which by a
curious train of reasoning it even con-
vinced itself it would be insulting to
God to take up, though in the passage
we have quoted the apostle seems TO
tell it that it should do just what Pro
fessor Tyndall asked il to do. The
Peculiar People have accepted the
and though we may not
have all their faith in the result Of the
experiment, we are inclined 10 believe
that they will not make such a failure
as Professor Tyndall may expect. 1t
is related that three hospitals in Paris,
one conducted by the allapathic physi-
clans, one by the homeopathists, and
the third by the naturopathists, Il, G.,
those who do not believe in medicine
at all, } compared notes one year, and
il was found that the ratio of cures to
deaths was nearly the same in all
three. II, therefore, these Peculiar
People add to their prayer and anoint-
ing the peculiarly good nursing of which
their simplc-minded faith is n pretty
good guarantee, we should not be
much astonishcd iftheir hospital would
prove as successful in the treatment
of the sick as any in London, and per-
haps even a little more so.

MEN OF PRoMIsE.--ln one of his lee
lures on educational and intellectual
progress, Mr., James L. Fields, of Bos-
ton, with much boldness makes the as
scrtion that no men Of extraordinary
promise have graduated from our col.
legcs for the past twenty years. The
truth Of the assertion may well be
questioned. II depends largely upon
the standard of measurement that is
used. The height of mountains is reck.
oncd from the level of the sea, and not
from that of the plains from which
they rise. Men are counted great in
proportion as they tower above their
surroundings. The seeming scarcity
of great mcnt is owing very largely to
the elevation of the general level Of the
masses. OF course, there have been
men in all ages who have been abso-
lutely, as well as relatively, great, but
they can almost be counted upon ones
fingers. Nor is there 80 great an ad-
vantage, in having men Of extraordi-
nary talents in generation, than their
abscnce--if they are abscnt---is to be
greatly regretted. The elevation Of
the masses is far more desirable than
the elevation of few individuals far
above the average level. This work
of raising the general grade is making
a grade as heretofore unequalled, and
% II should be turned all tho energies
Of the people, so far rs educational
cforS can accomplish IL. Tho great
men WI! ccmc when needcd-thcy arc
the fruit Of emergencies but the crea.
ton Of n State whose citizens shall be
purer, wiser, more virtuous than their
ancestors, is a work worthy Of the best
brains and hearts in the land.
