of the inability of the labor element

There is a story told of a lady and a
gentleman travelling together on an
English railroad. They were stran-
gers to each other. Suddenly the
gentleman said
MADAM, l will trouble you to look
out of the window for a few minutes ;
| am going to make some changes iD
my wearing apparel.
Certainly, sir" she replied, with
great p~oliteness, rising and turning
her back upon him. In a short time
he said /:
Now, madam" my change is com
pleted, and you may resume your
seat"
When the lady turned she beheld
her mail companion transformed into
a dashing lady with a heavy veil over
her face.
Now, sir, or madam, whichever you
like, said the lady, [ must trouble
you to hook out of the window, for |
also have some changes to make in
my apparel.
Certainly, madam and the gentle
man in ladies' attire Immediately com
piled.
"Now, sir, you may resume your
seat"
To his great surprise on resuming
his seat, the gentleman in female
attire found his lady companion
transformed into a man. He laughed
and said
ut appears that we are both anxious
to avoid recognition. What have
you done ? l have robbed a bank."

Now then" says tramp No. 1 TO
No. 2 as they turned into Montcalm
street from Woodward avenue the
other day, here is the game: you walk
down the street and ring the bell Of
some house. When the lady answers,
you tell her that you haven't had any
thing to eat for three days. If she
says she don't care, tell her
you are desperate and ready to
commit any crime. II she
starts to slam the door on you, hold
it open with your foot and roll your
eyes and look savage. I'll arrive Just
about then, and I'll take you by the
neck, slam you around, and pitch you
out of the yard. I'm the lady's pro
tector and the hero of the hour, you
see. I'll be very modest and claw of.
but I'll tell her I'm a stranger and
need a quarter to buy food. Shell

He passed down the street and Sc
leeted a house, and the programme
was carefully followed out until he
reached the point where he said he
was desperate. AT that instant the

each other in deep disgust, and then

house at noon except the cellar. So on
the sunny side of the house, at least
darken YOUR rooms by shutters and
curtain, closing windows as well until
the sun is past; studiously keep out the
suns light and the air into which he
is shining darkness is cooling and light

for the sun may give you hot breezes.
Of course, do without your range fire
as much as practicable and cook bygas.
Dress, also, needs reform, for our
masculine garments in particular are
robes Of martyrdom to absurd conven-
tionalism. An Irishman, walking out
in summer-clad in extreme winter
style, replied to remonstrance that he
thought that what was good to kape
out the cowld was good to kape out
the hate" and his philosophy was
perfectly sound in the abstract, like
all true philosophy, only when he
made it concrete on his own body he
got it wrong. A thick flannel is the
costume when working in a foundry,
but not ordinarily; because the foun-
dry's temperature is higher than the
body's, while the outdoor air of the
hottest day is lower. In winter we
wear covering in order 10 keep the
body's heat from passing off; in sum
mer, to avoid searching by the direct
rays of the sun, which are much hot
ter than the arr. This is the only
natural and physical reason for cover
ing usage, to which Difference must be
paid, is the only other. But we do
not get far enough away from the rig
idity Of usage when the heat comes.
Why should we resign draperies ex-
clusively to the women, who, clad in
them, look cool, but do not help our
own misery Why should shirt
sleeves to be voted utterly TO be an
outrage on refinement? They need not
be taken in puribus; some modification
Of them, in garments of more open
texture and ampler cut, could be
devised were somebody to dare. Now
the wide 'pantaloonery" and alpaca or
linen coat, with Tin cases of extreme
hardihood) the absence of "waistcoat''
and low shoes and umbrella, take us
to the verge of hazard. We must be
elegant, I'm full dress and at ease,'
though we melt, as if physical discom-
fort and refinement could ever GO
together.
