Il WOneaf.'S Skirts.

Observe the extra fatigue which is in
sured to every woman in merely carry
ing a tray upstairs, from the skirt of
the dress. Ask young women who are
studying to pass examinations whether
they do not find loose clothes a sine qua
non while poring over their books, and
then realize the harm we are doing our
selves and the race by habitually lower
ing our powers of life and energy in
such a manner. AS matter of fact, it
is doubtful whether any persons have
ever been found who could say that
their stays were at all tight, and indeed,
by muscular contraction they can ap-
parently prove that they are not SO by
moving them about on themselves, and
thus probably believe what they say.
That they are in error all the same they
can easily assure themselves by first
measuring around the waist outside the
stays; then, taking them off, let them
measure while they take a deep breath,
with the tape merely laid on the body
as If measuring for the quantity of braid
to go around dress, and mark the re-
suit. The injury done by stays is so
entirely internal that it is not strange
that the maladies caused by wearing
them are attributed to every reason under
the sun except the true one, which is,
briefly, that all the internal organs be-
ing by them displaced, are doing their
work imperfectly and under the least
advantageous conditions, and are, there
fore, exactly in the state most favorable
to the development of disease, whether
hereditary or otherwise. e.-McAiilan's

BEN YORLUCH,S ECHO.

An Austin man, of a literary turn of
4-,insi, is very fond of his dog that barks
day and night. A neighbor asked what
the dogs name was.
"Echo," was the reply.
"What kind of name is that ?"
"It was the name of Ben Vorlich's
dog"
"Who the mischief is Ben Vorlich ?'
The owner of the dog smiled in deris-
ion, and replied:
"You never could have read Walter
Scott's Lady of the Lake. In the
chase Ben Vorlich was one of the prin-
cipal hunters. Echo is the name Of
his dog. Don't you remember where it
says:
''No rest Ben Vorlichs Echo knew.
"This dog never takes rest either,
so call him Echo"
The neighbor did not say anything,
but that night he softly called Echo 70
the fence, gave him piece of sausage,
and now Echo is as silent as Ben Vor-
Itch, and even more so.- Teras Sgttings.

WHEN TO SLEEP.
A'ad Ho,C-And Vho Most Needs n.

d1a0 How-41ad Who Most Needs 1t.
Probably no better division of time
has ever been made than that into three
equal periods of eight hours each: eight
hours being given to business, eight to
eating and enjoyment, and the remain
ing eight to sleep. The celebrated Al
fred divided his time in this way.
I have long thought that the natiyei
American required more sleep than thet
average European. For myself, find
that nine or ten hours sleep in single
night will cure me of all the triAinp
maladies with which, from time to time,
I may be afflicted. Some extraordinary
advice has been given by certain dis
tingrlished persons with reference to
time devoted to sleep; but each writer
falls into the common blunder of apply
ing the rule to all, which he finds good
in his own case. Bishop Taylor advises
three hours. Wesley suggests six as
the least time that will answer. He de-
clares that during his life he never
knew any one to retain vigorous health,
even for year, with a less quantity of
sleep than six hours, and he thought
that women required more than men.
Which advises students to go to bed
at o'clock and rise at 3 or 4 o'clock in
the morning. Not bad on some ac-
counts, but liable to injure the eyes.
Excess of sleep is very bad in it's in
fuence, produces dullness of mind and
body, corpulency, disposition to apo
plexy; hence Galen calls sleep the
brother of death, and says nothing is
more pernicious when carried to excess.
Thin Yankees should go to bed at 8
o'clock and rise between and 6. I
do not mean to say that circumstances
may never justify their sitting up till
midnight, or later, but I am simply in
terpreting the voice of physiology. If
the average American, with his narrow
chest and small vitality, would retire at
8 o'clock he would live some years
longer, and each year would afford him
more happiness and ability to work.
But Yankee women most need
change to early hours. Their crazy
nerves, neuralgia and other evidences
of premature decay would be at once
checked and they would become young
er and fairer.
What with tight corsets, pastry, can
dies, furnace heat and midnight, Yankee.
girls begin to fail at 20 and women are
old at 40.

CITY AND CoUNTRFIyFB4Y 4YcE.

The inhabitants of the country the
most prolific part of the population,
are continually floating toward the
towns, and there become unprol1fc.
The whole population of France is, it
is true, increasing slowly, but the rural
part of the population is positively di-
minishing, and the diminution becomes
more and more marked every year. In
fact, If the town population continued
to increase as at present, and the rural
population to decrease, the country dis
tricts would become quite depopulated.
AS it is, large share of the rural work
at harvest times and nearly all the rough
work of excavation on new docks and
railways are done by Belgian, Italian
and Spanish emigrants.
This absorption of the population of
the country into large towns is a phe-
nomenon of the times remarkable in
other countries as well as in Frar -e,
although France affords the most Is X
ing instance of the tendency; and this
constant set of the country populations
toward the towns in France not only
denudes the rural districts of their in
habitants, but the emigrants, in chang
ing a country life for town life, be-
come themselves less reproductive, as
the birth-rate in large towns in nor
mally less than that of the country;
and we know that large towns like Lon
don and Paris have their populations
maintained and increased by the con-
tinued flow Of emigrants from the coun-
try, SO much so that in these capitals it
is rare in society to meet man born in
the metropolis itself, and families which
take up their residence in metropolis
usually become extinct after two or
three generations.-Lo11do71 Times.

Kisses on Interest,

A father, talking to his careless daugh-
ter, said:
[ want to speak to you of your moth
er. It may be that you have noticed a
careworn look upon her face lately. Of
course it has not been brought there by
any act of yours, still it is your duty to
chase it away. Iwant you to get up to-
morrow morning and get breakfast, and
when your mother comes and begins to
express her surprise, go right up to her
and kiss her on the mouth. You can't
imagine how it will brighten her dear
face. Beside you owe her kiss or two.
Away back when you were little girl
she kissed you when no one else was
tempted by your fever-tainted breath
and swollen face. You were not as at
tractive then as you are now. And
through those years of childish sunshine
and shadows she was always ready to
cure, by the simple magic of mothers
kiss, the little, dirty, chubby
hands whenever they were injured
in those first skirmishes with
the rough old world. And then the mid
night kiss with which she routed so
many bad dreams, as she leaned above
your restless pillow, have all been on in
terest these long, long years. Of course
she is not so pretty and kissable as you
are, but, if you had done your share of
the work during the last ten years, the
contrast would not be so marked. Her
face has more wrinkles than yours, far
more, and yet if you were sick that face
would appear more beautiful than an
angels as it hovered over you, watching
every opportunity to minister to your
comfort, and every one of those wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets of sun
shine chasing each other over the dear
face. She will leave you one of these
days. These burdens, if not lifted from
her shoulders, will break her down.
Those rough, hard hands that have done
SO many necessary things for you will
be crossed upon ifeless breast. Those
neglected lips that gave you your first
