Skirts were found that weighed from
nine to twelve pounds, and a ball dress
of satin and plush was estimated at twelve
pounds.
He also visited several prominent ply.
Sicians, both male and female, from
many of whom the Lancet's theory re-
ceived but little support. Even the old
and partially accepted theory that the
hips must not be allowed to bear any load
was also exploded. In many persons the
hips are better able to bear the weight OF
the neither garments than the shoulders,
pressure on which tends to cause stoop-
ing, thus contracting the breathing space
and inducing lung complaints, since il
is the upper and not the lower end of the
lung that is most liable to disease.
One point, however, was insisted OF
by all physicians of city experience.
namely, the advantages of well-made
and properly fitting corsets. If well
boned, they prevent the tightest skirt
bands from pressing in upon the vital
parts, but when old they become in
FURIOUS as the ends of the broken bones
not only press inward. but sometimes
penetrate the flesh. DR.. Weir spoke OF
q hospital case that had come under his
notice in which woman's liver was
almost cut in two by wearing skirts
tightly around her waist with aO0rn on
corsets. A lady physician also writes,
that "badly fitting corsets and broken
steels produce great suffering among
poor girls" Several other physicians
said that weight hanging from the hips
could do little or no harm, and the mus
cles of the abdomen are strong and well
arranged for withstanding strain. Weight
supported at the waist comes on the hip
bones, and is borne chiefly by the legs,
and can be carried more safely from the
waist than from the shoulders.
There are men who wear no. srlspen-
ders; they need none because their hips
are prominent and easily support the
pants, which hang on them as on hooks:
others would need to buckle their pants
so tightly to prevent dragging down as
to be injurious. for this reason; that they
do not wear any corsetS, hence the belt
presses in upon the liver and other vital
organs. A pair of winter pants, the
pockets partially filled with knifes and
keys, to say nothing of silver dollars,

articles of dress as are actually harmful,
and not with senseless TRADES against
such useful and healthful garments as are
usually the subject of attack. When the
medical criticism of woman's dress has
been turned over to female physicians,
the male members of the profession will
have time to criticise their own clothing,
and may be inducedto cast this beam
from their own eye and relieve us from
some of the tyrannies of dress.-Scien-

Hedge Fences.

1t makes but little difference whether
you plant Usage orange or hawthorne
for fencing in your farm. Either one
makes good fence when properly at
tended to, and neither one makes fence
at all when neglected. The Usage orange
will make fence in less time than
hawthorn, but it will cost more to keep
it in order, on account of its thrifty
growth, unless you let it take its own
course, as our worthy (or unworthy
trustees do the one growing on the
burial grounds of our county seat. Said
hedge is twenty or thirty feet high.
and where it is thin enough for COW to
walk through they have put in boards
and nailed them to the stems of the
hedge. That kind of fence l would
call nuisance. The nice thing about a
well-set hedge fence is, you always have
a surplus of material. and the brush or
trimmings will always pay to gather and
burn them; whereas, in repairing rail
fence you must always supply new rails
in place of those that have rotted out.
The hedge fence if taken care of, is an
everlasting fence. never knew one to
die that was taken care of. | could

would advise every farm that has a
nice-laying farm to plant hedge fence
for road and line fences. 1t dom make
any difference whether it is hard froze,
or wet from the last big rain, YOU can
trim hedge fence ali the same; in fact,
winter is the time to shape up the hedge

your farm YOU can rest contented till

them the most costly of the two. Not
so with the hedge 1t starts up every
spring and puts out its leaves and ap-
pears to enjoy life with the fresh grass
and growing grain. As for the hedge
dying out on account of thin soil, it is
out of the question when sod is put
under and subsOil on top; the leaves from
the hedge will keep the soil rich enough
/ would rather attribute the cause of the
hedge dying to the surplus of stagnani
water poisoning the roots.-I0UG Home.

The most careful cook is sometimes
liable to spill hot grease on the clean
kitchen floor. A good way to remove it
is as follows: First, pour cold water on
the grease, at once, to prevent its pene-
trating into the wood of the floor. Then,
to take out the spot, take piece of ordi-
nary blotting-paper, place it over it, on
this place warm flatiron. The grease
will be drawn from the floor into the pa
per-change the paper several times.
After this treatment soap and hot water
will remove the last vestiges of the ugly
grease spot, and the housewife can again
be happy.-Prairie Farmer.

What Does Our Clothing Weight

The medical profession, unable to cure
Ill the ills that flesh is heir to, looks
eagerly about for some one on whom to
lay the blame. Climate, soil, geograph.
zeal position and all our habits Of life
have in turn been accused of causing
disease. From time to time, our worthy
contemporary, the London Lancet,
sounds the tocsin, declaring that it has
discovered a new cause of alarm. Some
article of food, drink or clothing is Sc.
lected for attack as being the key to all
our misery.
The last freak of the alarmist is &C.
cusing. women of wearing too much
clothing. Hitherto, the cry has usually
been that women's dress did not suffi.
GENTLY protect them from the weather,
and it was no doubt true as applied tc
costumes worn at the Queens ''drawing
rooms" But since the introduction Of
cork soled boots, felt hats, ulsters and
overcoats, and their general adoption by
the fair sex, this cry has been silenced,
and the Lancet now accuses them Of
going to the opposite extreme. Seal.
skin sacques, fur-lined dolmans and
quilted silk circulars were the objects Of
its last attack. This, too, in spite of the
fact known to every scientific mind that
fur and cotton wadding afford far greater
protection against the cold than the same
weight of any other material, feathers
alone excepted. Aman's ulster, or even
a quilted overcoat that would afford the
same amount of warmth, or more prop
erly speaking. keep out the same amount
of cold, would weigh far more. In
Northern Europe, especially Russia, and
to a less extent here, fur lined garments
are worn by both sexes, nor does any one
think of calling them heary until a warm
spring sun renders them unnecessary.
In the days of heavy wooden or quilted
petticoats physicians complained of the
weights thus suspended on the hips. and
asserted that they must be hung from
the shoulders. Fur lined garments for
both sexes fulfill this condition, while
the loose fitting style of those worn by
women contine considerable quantity OF
air, the best of non-conductors, between
them and the body.
Impressed with the Importance of the
LancerS remarks, and perhaps hOpingtc
