Clothes,

A German writer says that cone of
mans principal defensive weapons In
his struggle for existence liz his clothing.
The place it takes in the history of civ
ilization and its connection with physiol-
ogy are not often thought of. 1t spok-
en- of from a moral and esthetic point of
view; its main purspose is purely
hygenic one." There is much truth in
this. The seeds of grave disorders and
chronic illness are frequently sown
through the neglect of well-known prin-
ciples in regard to clothing. AS Carlyle
says, "within the most starched crayat
there passes a windpipe, and under the
thickest embroidered waistcoat there
beats heart, and all these organs, as
well as others which Carlyle does not
name. need to be protected by clothing.
Clothes do not make men, although
some persons dress as if they did. There
are those who are nothing more or less
than clothes-screens. Clothes are not.
as some suppose, for the purpose of
keeping the cold from us, for, in truth,
we could not bear garments which did
not allow of continual ventilation of
our surfaces. It is not the densest,
thickest or heaviest material that we
need in cold weather. It is Of compar-
itively little use In these days to call out
for an utter emancipation from fashion
perhaps such an emancipation might
not be altogether wise if it could be
effected: but where custom is tyrannical
there the man or woman who has care
for health and comfort should be above
the custom.

Professional Beauty.

Edmund Yates has been exposing the
deceptive arts of the English professional
beauty. He says that she is always
prepared for inspection, though her WIS.,

whose loving tongue would be the first
to proclaim that which should be known.
1t needs but visit or two to the favor
lite milliners of the day to show how
complete is the mask worn by the
woman of fashion. Where an ordinary
woman would fling aside her corsets alto
getller, the professional beauty puts on
1nder her teagown or wrapper another
kind of corset invented by considerate
milliners -unboned, certainly, but so
made as to produce the desired outline
OF figure. The same principal is followed
i'll a hundred ways; among other things
the rouge-pot is not forgotten. When

fire. You go away convinced that
Amoret, at least, does not paint. You
forget that Amoret was aware Of the
possibility of your calling; that she knew
her dreamy figure and bright eyes, lit by
the tire-fiames, would make it very
pretty picture for your memory; and,
above all, that Amoret lives only to be
lovely. It is her profession; she has
nothing else to do.

What Shall Girls Dot

An esteemed young reader of the
Times sends some reflections concerning
the education, of girls which are in some
respects worthy of attention. Anything
concerning girls is always interesting
particularly to young men. Our esteem.
ed young correspondent doesn't seem to
be satisfied with the way in which girls
are brought up. Being a manageable
young man he has looked over his
acquaintance to find one whom he
knows to be a practical housekeeper,
but thus far, he says, he has looked in
vain. He knows great many who can
play the piano and assume to speak sew
eral languages, but not one who can
make loaf of bread or broil beefsteal6
properly.
1t is probable that this young man
tells the exact truth. It requires much
more skill and intelligence to make a
loaf Of bread and properly broil beef
steak than is generally undertood
Either is very difficult undertaking,
although many girls who do cooking
after fashion regard it as matter Of
no account, except that the work may
unpleasantly affect the complexion.
Such girls do not know when steak Is
properly cooked; it is doubtful if they
would know when much of anything
is properly done. Perhaps they can
make themselves agreeable in the parlor,
and that is very nice thing, but wife
needs some other qualifications.
There are girls, however, and a great
many of them, who know how to make
bread and broil beefsteak and do in a
thoroughly skillful way the thousand
things required of the pefect housewife.
Our young reader should try and extend
his acquaintance to include some of
these. There are not as many of them
as there should be, but that is not SO
much the fault of the girls as it is of
those who have had the responsibility of
their education. The scarcity of those
accomplished in the science of house.
keeping makes them all the more valu-
able, but there is abundant room for the
spread of that kind of education.
Every man isn't seeking a skilled
housekeeper for a wife, however, and
many young women cultivate taste for
idleness and ease with view to living
up to a husbands wealth. There is
more disappointment than happiness in
this. Every woman who undertakes
the duties of home should know how to
direct those who do her work, if she do
none of the work herself. We agree
with much that our young correspondent
says.-I'hiiGdel10hiG Times.

Line Engraving.

The first thing OF which the mind
should be disabused is the idea that an
engrayer is mere copyist. Actually he
is translator, a person who on a differ
ent scale, and through a different me-
dunn, explains the painters thoughts.
The engraver is also far more restricted
in his effects than the painter, for his
work is in monochrome black, brown or
red, and white. He has, therefore, to
express the thought Of the painter in
color without the aid of color. It is
also his task to indicate the painters
method of handling to give an idea, so
far as may be possible, of the degree Of
finish he imparts to his work That this
can be done may be seen in the engrav-
ings after Turner, of which it may be
truthfully said that many are more easily
understood by the majority of spectators
than the originals themselves. In this
place it will suffice to consider the sys-
TENS of engraving practiced upon cop
per or steel plates, wood engrayings and
photography being distinct processes
more akin to what is called surface
printing than line engraving, but divid-

Ia greatly increasing practice) the high
est kind is held to be line engraving,
in which the work is executed with BURN
or graver, The body of the work is,
however, generally etched, or "bitten
in !" with aquafortis. There are also ''dry
point engraving-by which some ad-
mirable effects may be obtained-mez-
zotint and aqua-tint. When only one
of these systems is employed an engrav-
ing is called "pure line, etching, or
otherwise, as the case may be. Thus,
in "pure" line engraving the effect is
produced by the lines Of. the gravcr
alone, CT various degrees of length,
breadth and relative closeness; crossing,
or matching, as it is called, being
employed for the denser portions or
shadows. This is very slow and labor
ious occupation, in modern times nearly
always supplemented, OF rather initiated
by etching, and at the present moment
often assisted by the free employment
of mezzotint grounds of various tex
| lures. -AU the Year Round

Manly exercise, or what is sometimes
called muscular education" is practiced
at all of our colleges, but the art of
physical development in modern times
is still in its infancy as compared with
the customs of the Greeks. Oscar
Browning says: "By the time the four
teenth year was completed the Greek
boy would have begun to devote himself
seriously to the practice of athletics.
The ardor shown i'll this pursuit by the
Greeks and Romans is often used as an
argument for our exaggerated devotion
to them at the present day. There Is
no doubt that by the double attention
to the welfare of mind and body, the
Greeks became the most beautiful as
well as the most gifted of mankind.
But it is question whether in our mod
ern race after cups and colors we are
following the Greeks at all, and not
rather the factions of the Roman circus,
and the corruption of the lower empire.
Much as the Greeks priced athletic dis
tinction, they held professional athletes
in very little honor. They would have
regarded with contempt q gentleman
who thought it desirable object in life
to be a prize-ighter, game-keeper, or
a coachman. The antagonism between
work and games was a practical diff
ficulty to them, as it is to us. 1t was in
deed in the pal@stra that Socrates found
his readiest hearers, and dispensed his
abstrusest lore. Can we imagine a dia-
logue such as the 'The@tetus being
held in an English battle-ground, with
the players waiting for their innings?
But Euripides denOunces the race of
athletes in strong language, and there
are other signs that in his time the
danger of their excessive cultivation was
being recognized. The enthusiasm
shown by Homer and Pindar for bodily
strength had become weaker in the days
of Pericles. The Greeks did not think,
as we are apt to, that athletics are the
best guarantee for manliness of charac-
ter and the best safeguard against effem-
macy. They knew that the mind and
body cannot be proEtably exercised at
the same time, and that the mind and
not the body is the seat of higher aspira-
tons. The Spartans whose names have
become proverbial for hardness. wccs
regarded by the Athenians as brutalized
by their training"

Why the World Progresses.

It was favorite theory with Buckle
that the worlds progress is not made by
the eminent goodness of men or the
distinguished meanness of men. In
other words, he believed that goodness
did not create civilization, but that the
"forces of civilization " caused goodness
and all of the worlds progress. He
never become weary in celebrating this
opinion. 1t is the rock on which he sets
out to build his History of Civiliza-
ton" All through that "mighty frag-
ment " in every chapter of that great un-
finished book we meet the idea. But no
where is it more eloquently and forcibly
stated than when he wrote: "The
gigantic crimes of Alexander or Napoleon
became, after time, void of effect, and
the affairs of the world return to their
former level. This is the ebb and flow
of history, the perpetual fux to which
by the laws of our nature we are subject.
Above all this, there is far higher
movement; and as the tide rolls on,
now advancing, now receding, there is,
amid its endless fluctuations. one thing,
and one alone, which endures forever.
The actions of bad men produce only
temporary evil, the action of good men
only temporary good; and eventually the
good and the evil altogether subside, are
naturalized by subsequent generations,
absorbed by the incessant movement of
future ages. But the discoveries of
great men never leave us; they are i'm
mortal; they contain those eternal truths
which survive the shock of empires, out
live the struggles of rival creeds, and
witness the decay of successive religions.
All these have their different measures
and their different standards: one set of
opinions for one age, another set for an
other. They pass away like dream;
they are as the fabric of vision, which
leaves not rack behind. The discoveries
of genius alone remains; it is to them
we owe all that we now have; they are
for all ages and for all times; never
young, and never old, they bear the
seed of their own life; they flow on In
perennial and undying stream; they are
essentially cumulative, and giving birth
to the additions which they subsequently
receive, they thus influence the most
distant posterity, and after the lapse of
centuries produce more effect than they
were able to do even at the moment Of
their PRONUNCIATION.
