Boston Congregationalist
We have seen in the public press refer
ences to some late endeavor at common
sense dress /" for women. Why, in the
name of all that is reasonable and sensible,
can We not have common sense dress for
men? We have lately heard that some
long.headed clothier predicts q speedy
return to "small clothes - and, what
with the help of the bicycle and yachting
uniform, and the prevalent tendency
among boys toward long stockings and
knee brooches, why man not Q reform in
this respect be soon achieved 1t will, of
course, be at once objected that legs. in
general are not good enough to bear so
truth-telling style of covering. But to
this there are two replies First, that
probably, with the attention bestowed
upon physical culture, there are as many
good legs now as ever there were and
second, that once the novelty worn of, no
moro thought would be given to the sub
jec. than now is bestowed upon whether
ears are large or small, or hands genteel
or eawky.
We doubt if it be possible to array the
masculine figure at once more comfortably
and becomingly than was done 100 years
ago-ln long stockings, breeches, some
what prolonged vest, or doublet. and a
bread skirted, handy, big pocketed jerkin
or coat. crowned with a roomy chapeau or
soft hat. The test of sculpture and paint
ing is good one to aid in determining
what is permanently comely. And, while
it would be hard to overstate the stiff and
repulsive ungainliness of man modelled
into statue in the full dress suit and hat
of our day, Cne does not soon tire of look :
ing at pictures like those of Franklin and
DR.. Johnson, or even of the profuse, yet
still comely, exaggerations Of costume of
Charles II and his court.

WHY.

WHY?
Many monk Of olden time,
Dwelling amid tho cloister shade,
Has won crown that ne'er can fade,
And wears royal robe sublime.
Ris lights were fancy. but to him
They were the beacons in the night,
That led his weary footsteps right
Not waning tapers low and dim.
The painted robes that deck'd Q saint.
The rallor Of q chisl'd brow,
Brought adoration-made him bow,
And beg some penance, some restraint.
The knotted scourge, the wasting fast.
The hours OF prayer on hoors Of stone.
The world push'd back, the aim alone
To gain salvation's rest at last.
Yet we who have our guidinglight
Before US, poiD ting out the way,
Revert cur eyes, our footsteps stray.
And We are CROPPING through the night.

Last Nights Suicide.
WEDNEsDAY.

about o'clock last night man
came to the Southern Hotel and asked
the clerk if he could get a room, being
told he could he registered as John
Ryan. Austin" and was assigned to
No. 80, on the third floor About 1880
o'clock parties in the adjoining rooms
heard three shots fired, and on going
into his room they found the man
lying on the bed writhing in agony
and the bed besprinkled with
his blood. He was lying
lengthwise of the bed. with his head
to the south, and on the east side
of him lay IA 33-calibre pistol, with
three chambers empty. Only one of
the shots took effect. This entered
just above the right eye and came out
at the base of the nose. The other
shots had struck the wall on the west
side of the room, about seven feet
from the floor. showing that they had
been fired while the man was lying
on the bed. He must have laid
down and closed his eyes and
held the pistol short distance fro m
his head and fired. Probably being
excited he did not hit himself until
the third shot was fired, and even then
the ball came near missing its in
tended mission. Who the man is is a
deep mystery, as nothing about him
could be found pointing to his iden-
tity, and no one could be found who
knew him. He left note simply
saying that consumption and fail
ure to get work was the cause" of
his rash act, but the man is hale and
robest in appearance, and certainly
does not look like Il colsumptive.
He is about five feet eight inches in
height and of dark complexion, with
quite heavy black moustache. In
his packets were found about So in
silver and bareback from the Gem"
saloon. In his valise was found a
section boss railroad manual. He
was not dead at II o'clock last night,
but DR.. Cummings, who attended him,
did not think it probable that he
would live.
