The Press is gradually assuming the
place Of the pulpit and the rostrum.
The public speaker whose brain, knowl-
edge or ambition is larger than the
audience which assemblies to hear him,
sends out his words to the large masses
through the medium of the press. Large
numbers of people, on the other hand,
will not pas themselves to the incon-
venience of sitting in crowded benches
and at times. in badly ventilated halls,
listening to lecture or sermon, if they
have the alternative of reading such
productions at their ease at home. If
this inclination Of reading. instead of
beanne arguments IS 70 progress, Prov
idence viii have TO sharpen and to
etrengtheo the visual organs of man, at
the expense of his acoustic organs in
order TO make the scales of human ex-

the manner of the Lyceums, holds dis
courses on the position of woman in the
ranks of ancient civilization"
In all her public addresses as we'll as
in her practical activities, Mrs. Cold
schmidt has one aim constantly in view:
the preservation of antique family
feeling. From the kindergarten
she wishes to guide female youth
to the height of scientific study,
in order to give the maiden an
education and a culture which, at once
free from all unnaturalness und hyper
bolical culture, should enable her to be-
come "a helpmeet in family and public
life, in the full sense Of our times and
our development of culture lncited
by this principle, she, in January Of
1885, proposed a plan for the erection of
advanced schools to be used by the pub
lie, female youth of Leipsic, from the
18th to THE 10Th year Of life This plan
she advanced in public speech held in
presence of the chief burgomaster and
the town council. To this high-school,
instituted by the Leipsic community, the
interchangeable and assiduous woman also
devoted her time and powers in the most
generous manner.
Spite of her innumerable practical
duties, Mrs Henrietta Goldschmidt
nevertheless finds time for her literary
labors. Exclusive of several addresses,
as: ''The Female Question, a Topic in
connection with Modern Culture"
Woman in connection with the life of
the State and the People" ''The Posi-
tion of kindergarten schools in the Or

wind roared and the sieet tinkled
against the windows of the little
room in which Pansie and her
father sat. Several misfortunes and
reverses had reduced them to pow

valid, all the care fell upon Pansie's
shoulders.
She sat down with her father,
reading aloud from a new book
which she had bought for him with
some of the money received from
her Jewels. Her sweet face was wan
and sad, and her future stretched
before her sad, hopeless and gloomy.
There was a ring at the door, and

of pansies, fragrant and golden

and attached to q card, bearing
the simple words, "Ross Dunbar

An instant later Ross was in the
room clasping her huttenng hands

rosy bloom to her face. And u few

THE NEW TROUSERS FOR
LADIES'. 5

Take a pair of overalls; sew q
gore-shaped piece between the two
inside seams of the two legs in
front; sew a plain wide piece from
one outside seam to the other ut
tue back, and there you will have u
perfect pattern of the new trousers
for ladies. OF course. any amount
of overdress, panniers and furbe-
lows can be put over this design at
the back, by way of ornament. The
bottom of the legs and the added
pieces should be trimmed with the
same ruffiing sH around. Now, if
this design be cut III silk or satin,
it is clear that the two legs of it
will show ve-y little unless the
wearer be waltzing, in which case
the unusual freedom and ease of,
her movements will betray the
trousers. As far as appearance
goes, no lady can be shocked by
the difference between the trousar-
dress and an ordinary dress at the
back. and the front gore-piece car
ries out the resemblance to an ordi-
nary costume when the wearert is
sitting or standing. But when she
walks about, the trouser-shape is
confessed.
Two advantages, one of comfort
and the other of ,adornment, ars
claimed for this Partisan discovery.
In the fist place, the movements
of the ladies will be as unsnackled
as those of any man in an ulster.
In the second place. dress may be-
worn much more tight in tue skirt
than at present, without any of the
present inconveniences. Ladies
have recently been SO pulled back,
tied back, aud sheathed in tight
skirts that they could scarcely walk.
The trousers-skirt permits them to
dress still more closely and yet
leaves their limbs free. It is sci.
dom that convenience and fashion.
are so adroitly combined in an'arti-
Gle of feminine apparel, ami this
consideration will induce many
sensible ladies to give the new i'll
fvention IL fair trial. &' - +.

A Mouse That Drank whiskey.

A mouse intruded himself into a
lady's chamber and found upon her
toilet table small vial of whiskey,
which 1t Is fair to say the lady used for
the benefit of her crimps. The vial was
stoppered with q paper cork, which of
course was saturated with whiskey. The
mouse nibbled off the top. of the cork,
and finally succeeded in drawing 1t,
and then regaled itself with what the
paper had absorbed. Under the stimulus
thus obtained, it had made its presence
in the room very evident and a careful
search for 1t was instituted. 1t was
soon discovered in the drawer OF a
bureau stretched out at full length on a
comfortable bed dead drunk. When it
was removed and thrown upon the
ground the shock restored it to partial
consciousness and to staggering effort
at locomotion. Moral-It Is not safe
even to smell the cork Of a whiskey-
bottle.
