Short Dresses and Disease.


 Susan Wright, teacher in public school in New York, has written to the Health Board against what she calls the cruelty of parents in attiring their chil- dren in too short dress. Among other things, she says: "In the streets, in our schools, children of tender years have their dresses made so short that their legs are only indifferently pro- tected if they belong to the rich, and with cruel scantiness if they belong to the poorer classes. If the lives of these children are not prema- turely sacrificed, how stupid and ignor- ant it is for their parents to express surprise when their show and vanity shall have produced in their victim the assured results ts-rheumatism, consump- tion, pneumonia, etc." She thinks short dresses do more harm than bad plumbing and lack of proper ventila- tion, and, in this connection, says "My sympathy for the poor, ill-used children of the rich and poor compels me to ask your attention to this crying abuse, and to risk the unpopularity ot putting the blame where it rightfully belongs-upon physicians too tender, pocketed to make parents full sharers in the blame which belongs to neglected buildings and ignorant teachers in this murder of the innocents. The com munication was referred to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil. dren.

To All Our Friends.

Having had numberless inquiries for adver- tising cards from ladies in all parts of the country who are interested in the prevailing fashion of making Card Collections" we are having printed for them a set of seven beauti- full cards, each ill six colors and on gold background, in the very highest degree of art, illus strating Shakspeare's "Seven Ages of Man. " We have spared no expense in these cards they are simply little art-gems. Our only aim has been to publish the finest cards yet shown
 Applications for them have come in so rapidly that nearly the whole edition is engaged before the receipt by us of the cards from the artist.
 We have therefore been obliged to adopt the following plan for the distribution of the re
 mainder No more of the gilt Shakespeare cards, seven in the series, will be sent excepting upon the receipt of statement from grocer that the person applying for the cards has bought of him on that day at least seven bars of Dobbins' Electric Soap, with price paid for same. AU applying in this manner ,oiu receive the full set of seven cards gratis by mail. This will insure us that our friends and patrons get their share of these beautiful designs, although it in no manner repays us for the cost of the cards. Your grocer has the soap or will get it, and the purchase by you of seven bars of it at one time will secure for you gratis seven really beautiful cards. The soap improves with age
 and is an article of necessity in your house every week. Therefore you are not ask t. buy useless article, but one that you mus have anyway. Please send us your applica
 tions at once, and tell your lady friends maki", ''Card Collections" to do the same. Grocer
 do not have the cards to deliver. Buy the soal of Men,, send us their bill, and we will mail ol the cards free. Yours respectfully, I. l.. GRACE: tS Co.,, 116 South 4th Street, Philadelphia, Pa
 P. S.-Ladies not wishing to ouy soap can go the cards by remitting cost price, 25 ceuts. ''

A SERIOUS T1ME.-They had Chari- vari festival near San Diego, southern California, at which the Mexicans and half-breed Spaniards of that region had a high time. After imbibing largely of mescal favorite and rather enlivening beverage, they brought out long un- used Spanish cannon, dubbed Fl Jupi- ter, loaded it with giant powder, stones and other ammunition of miscellane- ous character, and fired it off. It burst, and nearly every one in the crowd was more or less injured. One is reported to have been killed outright.

The Effects of Mental ExhnustiOn. u

Many diseases, especially thoSe of the ner- vous system, are the products of daily renewed mental exhaustion. Business avocations often involve an amount of mental wear and tear very prnjudicial to physical health and the professions, if arduousIy pursued, are no less destructive to brain and nerve tissue. It is one of the most important attributes of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters that it compensates for this undue loss of tissue, and that it imparts new energy tothe brain and nerves. The rapid ity with which it renews weakened mental en- ergy and physical vitality is remarkable, and shows that its invigorating properties are of the highest order. Besides incre asing vital stamina, and counteracting the effects of mem tai exhaustion, thls potential medicine cures and prevents fever and ague, rheumatism. chronic dyspepsia and constipation, kidney and uterine weakn and other complaints. Phy- sicians also commend it as 8 medicated stimu- lant and remedy.

HOMEOPATHIC Medicines, as a rule, are not amenable to the chemical tests and analyses used in testing drugs generally. Their reliability there fore depends solely on the character aud reputation as to probity of those prepar- ing and putting them up. Itis therefore of paramount importance that the public satisfy themselves that the Hom@opa thic medicines they buy arc obtained from house of recognized standing and reliability. Boericke X Tafel' s Homeopathic Pharmacy is established since 1885. Send for their descriptive price current of family and of veterinary medicine cases and books to 145 Grand street, New York.

PUTTING ON AIRS. - Senator Joe Brown, of Georgia, the wealthiest man of his State, dresses like a Methodist minister. His upper lip is shaved, but he wears long white beard. He has just purchaseda dress suit for social oc- casions. The swallowtail coat is as big as an overcoat, and is made from heavy beaver cloth. He says that if society demands that he shall wear @ coat cut like goose quill he is going to have it heavy enough to keep out the cold, even if it does bag in the back and get at half-mast when he sits down.

A Thrilling Sketch.

One warm day in August, upon the bank of the muddy Colorado, we chil- dren were lazily sitting about on the ground. One sis ter was stringing beads taken from an old moccasin, and most of the men were sleeping under the wagons through the heat of the after noon. There was great stiffness upon
 everything, save for the children's chat ter, and heat rose from the ground that smote the eyes. Suddenly there was dreadful scream, echoed, reecho- ed, multiplied then another, as when one strikes the hand upon the mouth, till in one second of time the air seemed rent and torn with yells. In just that secondthe close chaparral had
 become black with Indians, who had crawled, serpent-like, on hands and knees, till, right upon us, in concert they could leap into sight. They wore clothes upon their loins, and had some feathers wound in their hair, with hideous paint glowing on face and breast. I gazed in dumb amazement, benumbed with surprise, and think I awoke to the excitement of the occa- sion. The women and children, through an air thick with flying arrows, were marshaled into one covered wagon, and there my mother wrapped us all round with feather beds, blankets and com forters. do not think was frighten- ed, not because of any precocity of courage but because of wild excite ment that filled me. half leanedupon the knee of my sister. She said she was conscious of no pain, she felt no sudden pang, but something warm | seemed running down her side, and, | looking down, she saw an arrow which had pierced her flesh and protruded it
 flinty head from the wound. " Mother, '' she exclaimed, I am shot," and faint ed. My mother, the woman whose spirit never failed her in this or the dreadful trials which succeeded this disastrous fight, put forth her hand and drew the arrow backward through the wound. It was while thus supporting the head of the girl she supposed dy, ing, 1t somehow became known to he1 that her husband was lying quite dead and filled with arrows under the great cottonwood tree round which the camp was made. It was but few mo. ments more till one of the mon spoke from the front of tho wagon. Said he
 "Our ammunition is giving out, and we do not know but 1t may come to 6 hand-to-hand fight. Get out the knives you have in the bed of the wagon. , Through the backward march which fol
 lowed, it was ever the women who rose superior to suffering and danger. The men lost courage, hope and spirit, but the women never. A few moments after the demand for the knives, Metho
 dist preacher, who had seized my faith
 er's rifle, aimed at the chief with tho dinner-bell depending from his belt and saw him fall. In five minutes no
 an Indian was to be seen, the living dragging with them the dead as they went. In the meantime, under cover of night, our great herd of cattle hat been made to swim the river, and were safely corraled in the Mojave villages
