Your Attention, Ladies.

1t is indeed funny and ridicu-
lous sight to see a lovely young wo
man stop at "A street crossing, give
her body fearful twist, stoop low,
and reach backward and downward
nearly to her heels, and grab from
five to forty pounds of dress trail,
full Of dirt and dust, shake 10 five
or six times, like buzzard fixing
his wings TO fly, then hobble across
the street like lame turkey to the
other side there to "let go" turn
around tour or five times, and start
of like a stern-wheel boat in IA
storm. Such fantastic, fashionable
freaks of folly as we see sometimes
upon our streets are certainly very
unbecoming in all that is modest,
beautiful and lovely in women
Think of it. The idea of fashion
ably dressed blonde or brunette
stopping dead still upon the street,
kicking out and up like a COW at
an army of loose hornets, grabbing
her clothes in her hand, with body
bent, looking out with one eye
from under little hat perched on
one side Of her nose, and making a
public exhibition of her heels and
hose as she skips across the street
like an ostrich On a run, an exact
copy in style and dress of the wo-
man who rides a spotted horse in a
circus and jumps through a paper
balloon for fifteen dollars week
and applause.
Look at that modestly dressed,
sweet faced, humble girl, walking
homeward, having been on mis-
sion for her mother perhaps. No
foolishness about her. She lives,
dresses, acts aud looks plain. She
and fashion are strangers. Loafers
| and blackguards do rot stare at
and after her, and make all kinds
OF vulgar remarks about her. MOI
She commands respect by her dress
and conduct upon the public
streets. See her in her spotless
white, looking like an angel; kneel-
ing at her bedside with her face
and eyes lifted heavenward, and in
accents low and sweet, breathing
from her pure lips the language Of
her soul in humble prayer, sour

gels put their ears TO the twinkling
stars and listen to her prayer. The
one, a meek, humble, Christian
Young woman, whose affections are
fixed upon things above the foibles
and follies of a fashionable world
whose very soul pants for the
light and love of "home over
there" The other, a thin-yisaged
..made-up" woman of fashionable
world, whose whole heart and soul
is cngulfed in the great whirlpool
of mock happiness and folly, who
never looks in the Bible one hun
dredth part as much as she does a
looking glass, whose whole idea of
life is TO "have fun with the boys
until she's forty, and then take the
chances of fooling sOme old coon
into @buying her" The one
breathes her prayer ana lies down
upon her dOWny bed TO sleep and
dream of heaven and the angels.
The other comes out Of the parlor

THE ART OF ApvERTlsrNa.
Some of the Absurd Methods Used
How Money Is Wasted.

Cincinnati Gazette: One OF the
queer things In business is the pro-
pensity OF people TO seek irregular
mediums for advertising. IL Is un-
accountable the prices some men
paw for sticking their advertise
ments in irregular places ftspe.
cially is this so when cOfnpared with
their unwillingness 10 pay anything
for advertising in the regular chan.
nels. Men viii pay large sums for
inserting their business cards In n
section of a frame in a hotel, bar
loom, street car, railway station or
in hotel register or an almanac or
guide book or an annual of one sort
or another. The byways they seek
or that successfully solicit them are
innumerable Likewise they will
spend large sums for printing spe-
cial circulars, and in postage To
send them. In all this they ignore
the most essential condition in al
vertising, namely, that IL has the
character and effect from the medi-
um through which IL is given TO the
reader. Advertisements thrust into
irregular and unbusinesslike places
impress the general mind that the
concern is of a similar character.
On the other hand,an advertisement
in general newspaper Of li-st.class
standing carries the impression that
the advertiser has n standing in his
own community, which he Is not
afraid TO show TO his neighbtrs,
and that he does not shrink from
competition with the best OF them.
These are the different impressions
that are made on all minds by ad-
vertising in a journal OF high char
acter and circulation among the rep
utable classes, and when seen In by
places and irregular or low chan
nels. Every one finds this in his
own feelings, if he would but think
on the subject. If any one is going
To a place TO buy, whether he be a
trader or buying for his own use,
and has 20 seek dealers through .ad-
vertisements, where will he look for
them? To registers, almanacs, the
ater-bill frames, in railway stations
occasional advertising sheets or cir
cular? On the contrary, he looks
To the most reputable newspaper o
the place, and he thinks that adver
tising in these gives an assurance o
the good standing of the advertise
| and his business enterprise and o
the sufiiciency Of his stock.

A Novel Theory of Diphthsria.

From the Boston Journal of
Chemistry: DR.. Emil Querner, of
Philadelphia, sends us the following
note on this subject which will in
terest our professional readers,
even if they are not prepared to ac-
cept the authors theory:
After laborious and scrutiniz-
ing investigation into the cause of
a large number of cases of diphthe-
ria that have come under my care
during several years past, have al
most arrived at the conclusion that
the primary infection of an indi-
vidual comes from the fungi which
are found as spots of different col
ors on the exterior of fruits, partic-
ularly apples. As far as the power
of my microscope has shown, these
fungi seem identical with the fungi
from a diptheric ulcer; and last au-
tumn l traced a number of cases, at
one time five together in one fani-
ly, back to the eating of apples
picked from the ground in orchards
without previously cleaning the
truit by rubbing or washing. The
prevalence of this dreadful disease
in the last three decades may be well
accounted tor by the fact that the
appearance and fourishing of the
lower vegetable and animal organ
isms is periodical; of which we have
examples in the potato disease, the
disease of the grape vine, and chol-
era, which latter has been ascribed
to fungus growing on the ears of
rice in East India, and carried in
the human body as a c0ntagion
over all parts of the globe and in
many other cases. OF course, any
person infected with the disease
from the primary cause may be the
center of infection for others. Why
many persons eat fruit with fungi
on them with lmpunity is explaina-
bic simply on the ground that the
su> u>ceptibility for disease differs
greatly in individuals; and that, for
instance, for the propagation OF
fungi upon the mucous membrane
of the Dharynx there may exist a
previous catarrhalic affection, with
spongy condition of the same.
1t is my opinion that in times of
epidemic diseases almost every one
takes the contagion into his system,
but that for the development of the
disease, a certain predisposition, OF
some additional cause, is necessary.
Thus, cholera breaks out in an in.
dividual only after the cooling of
of the abdomen; and smallOx at
tacks timid persons often after be
ing frightened by the sight of {
| pitted face of a convalescent patient
from a distance Thus, also, the
lmpunity of physicians who trea
such diseases with jealous anC
investigating mind, and with fear
less interest in every case, may bC
accounted for; their nervous energy
resisting the tendency of their vita
power to succumb to the contagion
By this communication, wish
not only to give a hint for further
investigation in this matter, for GER
tainly it is time that the medical
profession should discover more ol
the hidden causes of zymothic dis
eases, which bring so much havoc
among the human race.

AS a rule, prevention of disease
in all kinds of live stock is easier
and cheaper than the cure. Could
dumb animals make us understand

shelter from storms and a constant
supply of salt, generally insure per

HOLLOW, HOLLOW, HOLLOW.

Beneath tree,
Twas hollow, hollow to the view;
A hollow blast
Was blowing fast
It's hollow, hollow body through;
And as / thought
My fancy wrought
A hollow, hollow verse or two,
From foot to top
A hollow top
Has more of hollow brass than brains;
His hollow looks
Are empty books
Where hollow folly rules and relgns;
A hollow thing
That's on the wing
For hollow. hollow praise he gains
The beau and belle
But cut swell
With their hollow looks and shallow;
In hollow pride.
Affected stride
A proud Venus CT Apollo;
Their vain conceit
Is but cheat,
'Tis all hollow, hollow, hollow.
The theme that rules
All hollow fools,
In this hollow conversation;
That rules and reigns
And e'er obtains
In all hollow false Irritation;
is love, sweet-hearts,
Its hollow arts,
And its hollow insI iration.
Ambitions schemes
Are hollow dreams
That will melt live lighted tallow;
The lover toys
With hollow Joys,
Hollow grief is sure to follow,
For ladies sweet
Will use deceit,
They are hollow, hollow, hollow.
The hollow friend
Will hands extend
To act hollow, hollow part;
Will thump your back
And you attack
With hollow, hollow heartless art;
His face that basks
In smiles, but masks
His hollow, hollow, hollow heart.
The hollow man
Will plot and plan
With hollow hearts to dupe his friends,
And all he wants
Is but chance
To show his hollow aims and ends
His hollow acts
Are but tax
That to his hollow pockets tends.
ass, nOllOW women,
While honest seeming,
Will you deceive with hollow arts;
With charms and graces,
Aud angel faces,
More fit for DEVILS hollow hearts,
In love will school you,
Then firt and fool you,
And sell their charms at cheaper marts.
And they will dash on
In hollow fashion,
And on themselves proud looks bestow;
And think their charms
Spread great alarms,
And wide destruction where e'er they go;
They puff and powder,
And strut much prouder
Than pea fowls in their hollow show.
The legal tribe,
With hollow gibe,
Like hungry dogs about bone
Will growl and fight
With all their might
For hollow bribes and ices alone;
Will work their Jaws
For hollow cause,
But always, Away for their own.
The hollow quack
Will win you back
From deaths grim hollow, hollow strife;
His poti 0ns. pills,
Will cure all ills,
Or end this hollow, hollow life;
His lips will ope
And hollow hope
Will in your hollow breast be life.
The hollow zeal
Some preachers feel
Bred in a hollow, hollow school,
Is gas or smoke.
hollow cloak,
To hide a hollow knave or fool;
The words they preach,
The things they teach,
Their hollow acts of life o'errule.
As thus dreamed
The more it seemed
with myself must sure agree;
For hollow crew
Passed in review
And thus myself said unto me;
"The world see
Appears to be
As hollow as this hollow tree" Nj. ID.
Our valued space
We thus dcface
And do not get a hollow dollar;
For NJ. D.s' muse
Won't brook refuse
