Now that the Doctor with his stomach and
mucous membrane and spOngings and eructa-
tions is cleaned out of Clarendon Hall, 1t only
remains to see whether worse does not remain
bebind The little man has shown his endUr
ance and Obstinacy but he has accomplished
nothing. There is 10 reason why he should not
return to the wilds of Minnesota and there re-
main. Ii there was any money in the show,
however, we shall have dozen able-bOdied
ia ters in all parts of the country making an
unsayory exhibition of their digestive organs,
each with his corps Of physicians anxious to adj
vel tse themselves. 1t is not so certain. how
ever, that these purely stOmachic entertainments
viii pay. The Doctors receipts we've not
large. 1t is stated that he is about to pro-
long the exhibition of himself by giving lectures
at 500 per night; but we feaI that more than
one lecturer could not occupy the starvation
platform. OF course it has been distinctly IN
derstood that Doctor Tanners motives have
been lifted far above mercenary plane. He
has sacrificed himself purely for the sake OF
science, and hopes to establish fasting sect
in the interests Of hygiene. We predict how
ever, that he will find no disciples unless the
thing is proved to pay. Most of these recent
exhibitions of tine human animal have been
begun from purely philanth opic principles.
Miss Bertha Won Hillern, for example, set out
TO give an example to her sex OF what may be
accomplished by any resolute woman who de-
telmines to walk herself out of consumption
or nerves into vigorous health. Miss Won Hill
lern's exhibitions were crowded with the intel
lect of Boston and the fashion of Philadelphia.
But the show brought in money as well as dis
ciples. and in months time we had a sawdust
ring in every city, where wretched women fl ON
the lowest haunts of vice tOtted around, max
ing show of their bedizened bodies to a circle
Of cheering drunken rowdies.
The Englishman who has successfully fin
ished his fast in Clarendon Hall will be re-
earded by half of the public as sincere zealot
who ran into the jaws of death to serve no good
purpose beyond that of showing his own pluck,
aud by the other half as a successful chaIlatan
who has easily trcked credulOus public. 1t
really matters little which of these verdicts Il

4 PLALN UORD OR TITO.

Some recent events in Western villages
make timely few plain words about the con-
dition of that large class of young girls, the
daughters of small farmers, tradesmen,
mechanics, and shOpkeepers IN inland towns.
They have, as a rule honest blood in their
veins. Their father is hard at work now in
field or shop their mother is drudging
lust as hard in the kitchen; hey live scantily,
and save every penny to give the children
lift in the world.r To accomplish this, the
boys are pushed through the high school or
some local college, and then sent out West
with profession or tradej the girls are
given two or three years at school. With that,
their preparation for life stops short.
In France, farmers daughter of this rank
becomes the head of the dairy Gas our farmers
daughters did two generations ago.. She knO VS.
nothing about decorating ginger jars or strum-
ming waltzes on the piano, but she turns out OF
her skilfu fingers delicate cheeses and butter,
which command the highest price in the Paris
and London markets. "Amercian butter" says
the last report, "does not rank high, be-
cause it is handled by machinery; the Breton
" is worked by manipulation" So high do the
Breton dairies rank, simply in consequence of
the personal supervision OF them by the
farmers wives and daughters-women with in
telligence as well as hands-that il is not I'M
common for a dairyman to give his daughter
a dover of from $4,000 to $4,000; much of
it the product of her own skill in detail work
and management. This great industry in its
higher branches is open to the class Of which
we write. In Germany girl of this class and
of classes much more elevated is carefully
taught domestic duties, and expected also to
practice them. In the Scandinavian nations
she is taught work In her school is brought
to confirmation, and thenceforward the good
pastor of the village with her parents watches
over the maid to keep her modest and devout.
Now, what is girl Of that class in this
country taught to dol The affection of her
father contents itself In supplying her with

The fftieth anniversary of the downfall of
Charles x. makes it necessary for his grand
son, the Count de Chambord to acknowledge
some personal attentions with which the
French Legitimists have seen fit to favor him.
The incident serves to illustrate the collapse
Of the fortunes Of political party. In the
National Assembly elected in 1871 the Legiti-
