Instructing Females How to Put on
Trousers.
The editor of the Elmira Free Press
is a married man, or, at least, we sup
pose he is. In discussing the proposed
reform in female dress, which Is to
thrust trousers (silk brocaded ones) up
on the fair sex, he comes to the front
with the following timely advice, which
will doubtless be appreciated by our
fair readers: I'VE have not" he says,
"the slightest objection 10 the wearing
of trousers on the part Of the sex to
which the gown properly belongs, but
it is only fair to tell them what danger
and discomforts they are inviting.
Trousers. for instance, cannot be put
on by drawing them over the head.
Neither can they be drawn on from the
other extremity while the person de.
signing to wear them sits on the floor.
To properly draw on o pair Of trousers
requires dexterity, and nice balanc-
ing on one foot; and at times even the
most expert persons are apt to step on
The disengaged vacuum which occupies
the floor, while the other vacuum Is boz
ing filed" The Nlir would-be wearers
are also warned that trousers only ex.
tend to the waist and are never but.
toned around the neck, and that aus.
penders are crossed on the back"

Home Doctoring.

II would not be an altogether Fad
thing, says the London Globe, were
some simple instruction in the elements
of domestic medicine included in the
School Board curriculum. Down Mt
Parkgate, for instance, somewhat OK
traordinary notions seem TO prevail as
to the best remedies for rheumatism
and acute liver complaint. A middle
aged man, In the employment of tho
great local iron company, being much
troubled by these diseases, he and his
wife together elaborated a system Of
medicine in which they appear to have
placed unbounded faith. The main
specifics were diluted laudanum and
tea, strengthened with rum. In addi-
ton, however, to these simple concoc-
tons, a variety of quack medicines
were imbibed from time to time. Yet
the man died, and as the required med
ical certificate Of death could not be OBJ
tanned, an inquest had TO be held. Il
then came out that even when the poor
fellow was IN drtiruio morris. his wife
still continued to believe In the efficacy
OF their joint prescriptions. When the
dying man refused to take any more
laudanum, he was presented with rum
and tea, which must have been pretty
stiff mixture, Ms IL set him gasping for
breath. There seems no doubt that the
wife acted with the best intentions, but
for all that she was really dispensing
what, to o human being In the condi-
ton Of her husband, was nothing loss
than poison. The faith Of tho poorer
classes In stimulants aud tea as rene-
dies for all sorts Of diseases seems to
continue as strong AZ ever In the
Highlands whisky and seal oil are
considered the most sovereign specl-
tics. N.

A Pretty Healthy Family.

James de Rothschild, who died ro-
Gently, was the son of Nathaniel, and
was married to his cousin Theresa.
With the exception of the Roseberry es-
pousals, the Rothschild family have in
terbred in the closest manner, until one
would think that. according to the rules
of consanguinity. all the dam
ages arising from such family allf
ances would become manifest. Tho
public must by this time be very tired
of the story of the origin of this family,
who, from the humbest beginnings in
the Jews quarter of Frankfort, became,
BY dint Of brains, honesty and luck, the
Cr9suses Of the European world. The
element Of luck may or may not have
had much TO do with the social eleva-
tion of these Semitic millionaires, but
the late Presidents words in regard to
the fickleness of fortune are worthy of
record; "Luck is an ignis-fatauS; you
may follow it to ruin, but never to sue
cess" That the Rothschilds are long
headed men, only the few are aware of
who enter into business relations with
them. but that they are large-hearted,
liberal and charitable, all the world
knows. They are great patrons Of art,
and with their enormous wealth are al-
ways buying what are the finest and
rarest of esthetic treasures. Possibly
this man had more culture than the or
iginal stock, for the present otf-shoots
enjoy an excellent reputation for liter
AIRY aud artistic intelligence. But neth-
err did the Rothschids past or present
ever spin, weave, hew wood, carry wat
er, break stones, nor write even essays,
and should accordingly, to follow the
ideas of Goldwin Smith and the Sand-lot
orators be all at once abolished. Wealth
may buy anything save dignified
presence We have no exact sembIanco
handed down tous of the Greek P'utus,
but we have several pictures of the Fug-
gers, who were certainly not aristocrat-
ic in appearance. But as handsome is
that handsome does, if the masculine
Rothschids have no pretentions to good
looks, the women of the same family,
at least in their youth are comely. The
great wealth of the Rothschilds is sug-
gested by the following doggercl, one
wholesome thirty years ago, was often
quoted, and which holds good To-day:
Lord stafford mines for coal and salt,
The Duke of Norfolk deals In malt,
The Douglass I'm red herrlngs;
But gartered name and noble brand
Are powerless to the notes of hand
or Rothschild and the Earrings.

When the hot noon glared sullenly, and |

And no drop held to ease me of my pain.

ceeding summers and attending school in the winter season. When IT years of age he went to Hartford, Conn.,, to fill position as clerk in @ wholesale drug house. He remained there until he arrived at his maturity and then made the first venture for himself by entering into the mercantile business. He located at Hinsdale, Mass.
 In November, 1889, MT. Bell led to the altar Celestia B. Osborn of Auster- litz, who still survives him. Three chil dren were born to them, of whom Chas. H. Bell of this village and Mrs. Jerry s. New of Canaan, Conn, are now hv- ing. The third, Mrs. Martin New, died in 1872.
 Mr. Bell continued in business at Hinsdale four years longer, and then removed to Hillsdale, in this county, at which place he remained two years, when he moved to Austerlitz, and car ried on business for the next 27 years. During that time his strict integrity and upright business methods gained for him the respect and esteem of his fel- low citizens, and on more than one occasion they called upon him to fill offices of trust. In the year 1858 he represented his town with honor in the board of supervisors.
 In 1870 Mr. Bell removed to Chat ham, where the remainder of his life was spent, free, for the most part, from the cares of active business. He had the confidence of all, and was often sought as an advisor on questions of practical moment. For five years he filled to the satisfaction of the people the position of trustee of the village.
 MT. Bell united when about sixteen years old with the Presbyterian church of Chester, Mass. and never severed his connection with that church. He was @ man of pure life, great dignity of man. ner and strict integrity.
 His funeral occurred Wednesday af- ternoon, at his late residence.
