Friday a Lucky Day.

When anything distressing occurs on
Monday, or Tuesday, OF Sunday, no ac-

particular day. Let the mishap occur
on Friday, and behold the head waggersl

is no denying it. OF the great bless

Sly Trick Of a Lazy Horse.
From the Boston Journal

Any one DESTROYS of verifying the fol-
lowing story need only TO take stand
at the foot of Chardon street, where the
relief horses are stationed, and watch
Lady Knights maneuverinps. Lady
Knights Is a veteran on the relief corps
of horses, having served in that capacity
some eight or ten years, and it is quite
evident that during that time she has
learned o thing or two by observation, if
IN no other way. Part OF day two horses
are kept for the purpose Of helping the
cars up the hin, and they alternate, or
are supposed TO, IL their duties. But
Lady Knights Is a sly boots, and needs
a vigilant eye to see that she doesn't
cheat When the relief horse gets to
Bowdoin square it is unhtched ana goes
back to the foot Of the hill, taking its
place next TO the eurbStone, which indi-
Gates to the next ear that the outside
horse Is to help pull up the hill. So ac-
customed have the horses become to
this routine that they seem to go through
it mechanically, and are often left to go
down alone and take their places. Now
this is one of Lady Knights favorite
tricks: When the other horse comes
down and stations itself in the proper
place, she wakes up just ahead of him
and then backs herself IN between Old
Stupid and the curbstone; the couse-
quence is Old Stupid sometimes pulls
three or four successive cars up the hill,
and would probably keep on pulling for
the rest of the day I'D not the attendant
come to the lescue. The look OF injured
innocence which Lady Knights assumes
when the man snakes her out from next
the curb and puts her in her proper
U zee Is funny.

The Hygiene of Clothing.


DIR. Paul Niemyer, in delivering a ser
les OF lectures i'll Berlin on the hygiene
OF clothing, held that theories of Prof.
jaeger, of Stuttgart, about his WOODEN
" normal clothing " are not founded up
on science. He founded his advice upon
the principle that the body in a living

conduction, but better built than the
dead oven IN that it is self-reguIating.
always keeping its heat at about 37Io
centigrade. The skin is natural cloth
ing, artificial clothing being merely a
protection against extreme heat or cold.
Wettlng, dirt and injury. 1t has the Of
flee OF preventingth the perspiraton which
IS the third day Ia which the body parts
with its beat, from becoming too per-
ceptlble. After some of the usual fault
finding with our present clothing-the
head overloaded, the nose and ears not
covered IN winter, the feet distorted-he
recommended rubbing with coarsetowels,
and Tor underclothing linen ton account
OF It's Microscopic quahtles), and also
cotton and silk, but did not approve of
starchIDg shirt bosoms, and entirely con-
denmed WOODEN underclothing. However.
with such a sudden return from "sci.
ence of empiricism," he said that
clothing could not be the same for all,
but each person must fad out by trial
what best suited his individual needs.
Such an attack was not to be borne, and
Prof. jaeger went to Berlin to defend his
theories, and to show that he, too, had
some "science." Health, he asserted, is
to be promoted by exercise and harden
ing the body. Health is impaired by
water IN the cellular tissues. Wooden
assists the body to throw this of. Wool
en- fabrics absorb only the offensive part
Of the perspiration and lets the rest es-
cape. Cotton and linen, on the contrary,
absorb it all, aud the man who wears
them carries around with him a store
house Of bad odors, and by breathing
them is slowly poisoned. The WOODEN
clothed man can dispense with many
baths that the cotton wearer must nave,
for healthy skin cleanses itself. Prof.
jaeger thinks women's clothing IS prefer
able TO mans both on higienic and @s-
thetic grounds. He advises a return to
the garb Of the Renaissance, or an adop-
ton Of the Tyrolese. Bat above all wool
