The Defense Of Berlin.
London Examiner

I, We are informed on the best .authoTi-
ty thatthe German war department is
preparing, as a sequel to the new army
bill, plan for the defense OF Berlin. 1t
Is proposed to construct o series of at
least twenty forts, after the style of those
SURROUNDING Paris; and these are to
command the roads leading through
the marshy and water-coyered areas by
which the Prussian capital is approach
ed on the northeast and southwest. A
large increase in the size OF Berlin, for
which allowance had to be made, was
the principal difficulty with which the
trainers of the line had to contend.
But Prince Bismarck has never been $
friend of great cities, aud his support
may be relied upon for regulation
which viii result in adding to the
heigns of the buildings in the imperial
city on the Spree. All suburbs at the
distance of Stegliiz and Pankow are TO
come under the Berlin municipal au-
thorities. The defense Of Paris in 1870
taught military men that the holding of
important cities, even though they be
inhabited by more than a million souls,
must not be neglected. Berlin is the
center OF the railway system of all east

Riding with Long Skirts.

Col. Lowell calls attention to the dan
gers which attend horseback riding with
long skirts. Speaking of instances which
have come within his own experience,
he specially mentions four. The first is
that Of a. young lady who, while riding
on a road (attended by a groom) J, lost
her seat and became suspended by the
stirrupor habit to a rommal of the sad
die. The frightened horFe galloped on
for q mile, and the unfortunate lady's
head was dashed along the hard, hinty
roads and passing wagons. with unhap-
PLY fatal consequences. He then men
lions anot er case in which a lady, while
hunting, by some means lost her seat
and became suspended either by her
habit or stirrup, while the horse dashed
away in all directions, but was stopped
before, much damage was done. He
next quotes two other accidents in
which ladies were thrown to the of. side
Of the saddle. In one case the feet be-
came immovably fast in what he styles
1.-THE so called safety stirrup," and her
horse careered and circled widely
around, until others of the company
were able to catch the bride and stop
the frightened creature. The fourth
and last example cited happened to the
gentleman's own daughter, whose horse
jumped ditch while hunting, and fell
on his knees and partly on lis right
side, the consequence to the rider be-
ing that she was thrown on the right
or of-side. On the horse rising, the
skirt of the habit encircled the near
side pommel, and the lady was sus-
pended on the off-side. Fortunately
the animal only went short distance
before the lady was rescued from her
perilous position. Col. Lowell then
proceeds to suggest remedies One of
his ideas is to do away with the hem or
binding at the bottom of the habit, and
another is that the seams from the
knees downward should be held together
by buttons, five inches or more apart,
loosely sewn to an UNDERLYING of very
thin cloth, and that especial care
should be taken to test that they can
be torn off with the. greatest ease.
Neither Of these remedies is very prao-
tlcable. The present fashion Of short
skirts avoids much of the danger, and,
for once, meets common sense. so
healthful an exercise as that of riding
ought to be Invested of any unneces-
sary danger of costume, i'll order that
the timid may not be deferred from
participating in it.. "a, Teacher of
Riding" calls attention to the fact that
tail6rs sew two elastic bands inside the
skirt, to be worn on the feet to keep the
habit in its place. This. he deems a
most dangerous practice, as with the
stirrup it doubly hampers the foot, and,
in case OF accident, divides the efforts
of the riders to disengage the foot in
time to provide for their safety. A
properly-taught horsewoman, with a
properly-ftting habit, will experience
no difficulty in keeping it in its position
without these artificial aids

AT party of young people in Paris,
conversation happened to turn on the
subject of kissing. and the question
was propounded who of the young men
present could boast of having given or
being able to give ''his grip the most
kisses. Various were the replies this
question called out. Finally young
man and the girl to whom he was be-
trothed bet 200 francs that they could
kiss 10000 times in ten hours, provid-
ing they would be allowed to take an
occasional glass of wine between"
Two persons were appointed a commit
tee to count the number of kisses. Dur
ing the second hour kisses were not
nearly as numerous, for the commit
tee only counted 900. After the third
hour, during which they managed to
score but $50, further operations were
brought to sudden standstill. The
lips of the young man were seized with
a cramp, and he Was carried off in q
fainting condition. The girl q few days
later was stricken with brain fever,
which nearly carried her off to land
where kissing under any form is un.
known. When the people who had
won the bet demanded their money,
the parents of the girl refused to pay
their share of it. The matter was tax
en- to the courts, and there it was de-
cided that the bet must be paid.

VaseIine.

a new product made from petroleum
is a Jelly called "Vaseline," which is OF
the greatest utility-in medicine, phar-
macy and for toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered its great
value in the treatment of wounds, burns.
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where a'remedy is need
ed, and in almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance Is
now in constant use, and Is acknowl-
edged not only to be the best treatment,
but also one of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is put
up in bottles by the Cheesbrough Man
ufacturing Co, of New York, and as a
family remedy it is without doubt the
best in use. Its heating and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior 20 those of
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chllblains
is almost magical As an emohent,
Vaseline is way ahead of anything else,
as it renders the skin smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will find 1t
not only the best, bot perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve
and restore to the complexion the hues
of youth, making the cheek like velvet
and the skin like satin. The complex
ion powders in common use, are, rs a
rule, injurious to the skin and destruct-
i've of any complexion, while Vaseline
lie entirely healthful and beneficial.
There is also made "Pomade Vasel
inc" which is said to be of great benefit
to the hair, keeping it soft and glossy,
preventing and curing dandrutf, and
keeping the scalp healthful and free
from disease, and from those objection
able creatures which sometimes find a
dwelling there. Numberless instances
are cited of how by the use of this po-
made thin and failing hair has resumed
vigorous growth. Both the pure Vas
cline and the pomade are put up in
twenty-five cent bottles and are to be
found at all first class druggists, and we
advise our readers to make trial OF
this wonderful substance, and we think
they will find its claims to merit not in
the least exaggerated.

Work for Unmarried Woman i.

The Washington correspondent of
the Louisville Col9fer-JourneI writes:
EVERY woman Graves a husband and
children, but all do not get their cray
ing. Well, what is to be done In such a
case? How does the argument apply
| to such, that Woman's sphere IS the
family circle, and that she should not
unsex herself by coming in eentactwith
the rough world ? But suppose circum-
stances force her to this contact, should
she not have the same facilities and ad-
vantages as the opposite sex? l will
admit that some women make poor
mothers, but there are just as many IN
competent men. As a rule, women are
honest, dilligent and economical where
they are dependent upon their own ex-
ertions. Nothing takes the nonsense
out Of them sooner than work. When
they are too busy to give much time to
dress, they think lessof captivating, lees
of the vanities and even the luxurics
that wealth brings. II is true that hard,
earnest work depriyes some women OF
their prettiness and attraetiveness; 1t
lessons their chances of marriage, but
that is the penalty circumstances forces
her 10 pay, and all ths more honor
shall be accorded to her for accepting
liner destiny uncomplsiniugly. Would
BIT not be better if men, instead OF ridt
Iculing and satiriz;ng the efforts CT wo-
Emen, should Join hands with them and
lhelp them work out the problem?
