The Clothing OF the Sexes.

/ agree that the tax of CARRYING
clothes from the waist is utterly un-
rlstifable, and that the parts that
should bear the burden are the shoul-
ders and none other. In this regard
women ought to be placed under just
the same favorable conditions for move
ment of the body as men, and the
greatest emancipation that women will
ever have achieved will have arrived
when she has discovered and carried
out this practical improvement.
ANY one who will for q moment think
candidly must admit that the dress of
men, however bad it may be in taste,
or in whatever bad taste it may have
been conceived, is, in respect to health,
infinitelys uperiOr to that of women.
In the dress of the man every part OF
the body is equally covered. The mid
die of the body is rot enveloped in a
number of close layers, while the lower
limbs are left without close clothing
altogether: the center of the body is
not strained with weight which almost
drags down the lower limbs and back;
the chest is not exposed to every wind
that blows, and the feet are not be-
wildered with heavy garments which
they have to kick forward or drag from
behind with every advancing step.
The body is clothed equally, and the
clothing is borne by the shoulders; it
gives free motion to breathing; it gives
freedom of motion to the circulation;
it makes no undue pressure on the di-
gestive organs; it leaves the limbs free;
it is easily put on and off; and it allows
a ready change in vicissitudes OF
weather.
1t is told of the late eminent surgeon,
Mr.. Cline, the teacher of Sir Ashley
Cooper, that when he was consulted by
q lady on the question how she should
prevent a girl from growing up mis-
shapen, he replied: ''Let her have no
STAYS and let her run about like the
boys" l gladly reecho this wise adj
vice of the great surgeon; and would
venture to add to it another suggestion.
l would say to the mothers of England,
let your girls dress like your boys,
make no difference whatever in respect
to them-give them knickerbockers, if
you like-with these exceptions, that
the undergarments be of a little lighter
material, and that they be supplemented
bv an outer gown or robe which shall
take the place of the outer coat of the
boys, and shall make them look dis
tinctly what they are-girls clothed
cap-a-pie, and well clothed from head
to foot.-Dr. Richardson, IN London

The Habits OF the Frog.

The frog spends most of his time in
the water, when he loafs under stone,
but he can hop across the country when
his native pond dries up in style that
would discount an American camel
making for an oasis. When he finds
another pool of water he stays there
and makes himself comfortable. Oc-
casionally he will stop and spend some
time in moist locality, where there is
nothing but ooze or damp leaves. He
has four non-palmated fingers, a rudi-
mentary thumb, and enormous extensor
muscles in his hind legs. He lives upon
bugs, and has been known To swallow
small birds, but. like other amphibia,
and unlike the ward politician, he can
net drink. His tongue is fastened to
the lower jaw at the tip instead of at the
base, and ne sings it out after cricket
or June bug like lasso. The encyclo
prdia states that the frog is peculiar
for the presence of occipital cOndyles
and the development Of the transverse
processes of the sacrum, but most peo-
pie do not believe this. His greatest
popularity lies in the fact that there is
nothing to eat on mis- bones except the
muscles of his legs
The number of frogs sent North
during the spring and summer is enOr
NOUS. From the tributaries of the
Chesapeake Bay alone the frog crop
averages 3lO0.O00 a year. In the salt
marshes of the South they grow larger
than they do elsewhere. but the meat is
coarser and not so edible. Frogs are as
prolific as herring. Millions of little
black tadpoles infest every mudpuddle.
The knowing fish esteem them very
highly as food, but the tadpole who es-
capes consumption for three weeks
drops his tail, which is only a tempor-
airy affair anyway, grows four ample
legs and goes out to be bloody
himself until he is shot or hooked TO
satiate the inveterate nav of the lord
of creation. Baltimore Sun.

Ethics Of Conversation.

Do not manifest impatience or inter-
rupt when another is speaking. Ii you
think the monologue has continued
long enough lean comfortably back in
your chair, assume an expression of in
tense interest, close your ewes and
snore, not harshly or impatiently, so as
10 give offense, but with the long
drawn, musical cadences of contented
man, who is glad to sleep and has
nothing for which to remain awake.
Do not introduce professional topics
in general conversation. 1t is much
better to talk about yourself all the
time. Then people will have no diff
Guilty in understanding you. A sweet,
white haired old lady, who is devoted
to foreign missions, will hardly rise to
the level of your own enthusiasm when
you tell her how they scored six times
before they got the word and then they
struggled of with Scraggy Jim at the
pole and Wild Sal running under the
wire, and Sleepy Jane, thaty backed
to win in three straight heats, broke
four times on the first quarter, and got
shut clean out at the distance pole. You
will interest her more deeply if you tell
her how all the girls are dead set after
you, but you are too hard-heartedly
sharp for 'em. This kind of talk always
interests old married people.
Do not continually interject ''you
know" and "you see" into your CONVEX
sation. Say, rather: ''Savy, John?" or
"Ketch onto that, Cull?" or .'D'ye
tumble, Shortly" Then people will
know that you have been to college
away from home.
Never listen to a remark the first
time it is made. This will give you an
opportunity of saying BEG pawd'n" at
intervals. Then everybody will know
that you have been abroad-in your
mind.
Talk in very loud tones. of course.
Speak up, so that the company can hear
you. In the parlor, or at the table,
always talk with the man furtherest
away from you. The people will say:
''Who is the eloquent young auc-
tioneer?"
The oppressive liale lapses in con-
versation can be most beautifully filled
in by whistling. If you can drum an
accompaniment on the window pane
with your fingers the effect will be
charming. People will be greatly
pleased with you-when you go away;
but, of course, they will be too polite to
say so.-Burdeite, IN BrOokIy9 Eagle.

The Assassination OF the Prince OF
Orange.

Philip II. had promised %, 900 crowns
of gold to any one who would murder
the Prince of Orange. An attempt had
| already been made, but had failed. and
William had refused to take any meas
ures for self-protection, saying: 1T is
useless; my years arc in the hands of
God; if there is q wretch who has no
fear of death my life is in his hand
however may guard it, At length a
young man of seven and twenty ap-
peared at Delft, who gave himself out
to be one Guyon, a Protestant. son OF
Pierre Guyon, executed at Besancon
for having embraced Calyinism. and
declared he was eXiled FOR his religion.
Really he was Balthazar Gerard. a
bigOted Catholic, but his conduct in
Holland soon procured for him the
reputation of an evangelical saint The
Prince took him into his service and
sent him to accompany a mission from
the States of Holland to the Court of
France, whence he returned to bring
the news OF the death of the Duke OF
AniOu to William. At that time the
Prince was living with his Court in the
convent of St. Agatha, where he received
Balthazar alone in his chamber. The
moment was opportune, but the would
be assassin had no arms ready. Will
lam gave him small sum OF money
and babe him hold himself in readiness
to be sent back to France With the
money Balthazar bought two pistols
from a soldier, who aiterward killed
himself when he heard the use which
was made of the purchase. On the
next day, June 10, 1884, Balthazar re-
turned to the convent as William was
descending the staircase to dinner with
his fourth wife, Louise de Coligny,
daughter OF the Admiral who fell in
the massacre of St. Bartholomew on
his arm. He presented his passport
and begged the Prince to sign it. but
was told TO return later. At dinner the
Princess asked William who was the
young man who had spoken to him, for
his expression was the most terrible she
had ever seen. The Prince laughed,
said it was Guyon, and was as gay as
usual. Dinner being over, the family
party were about to remount the stair
case. The assassin was waiting in a
dark corner at the foot of the stairs,
and as William passed he discharged
pistol with three balls and fled. The
Prince staggered, saying: Il am
wounded; God have mercy upon me
and my poor people. His sister, Cath
crime Van Schwartzbourg, asked: ''Do
you trust in Jesus Christi" He said
''Yes" with feeble voice, sat down
upon the stairs, and died.-Good
Words.

The banana has come to be almost
necessity in thousands of Northern
families to whom it was unknown few
years ago. They are fried and served as
an entree; pies are made of them, with
delicate upper and under crust with
plenty of sugar and suggestion of
spice, but when sliced thin and mixed
with chopped pineapple or with
chopped oranges they are simply de-
licious. At breakfast they are served
by removing the skin, cutting the BAN
anas in two pieces, crOsswise. and
piling them on pretty china or fancy

3 Tadpole sat on q cold, gray stone,
And sadly thought Of his life.
sAlas must live all alone" said he,
'-0r shall | espOuse me wife!"
q wise old Frog. on the brink of the stream,
Leaned over, and said. with sigh:
%, wait till you're older, my dear young
friend,
You'll have better taste by-and-by?
Girls change, you know, and the Poliywog
slim,
That takes your fancy to-day,
May not be the Polly at all you'd choose
When the summer has passed away"
But the Tadpole rash thought he better knew,
And married POllywOg fair,
And before the summer was over, he sat
On the brink of the stream in despair.
For, would you believe it? his fair young bride
Proved to be but stupid frog.
With never q trace of the beauty and grace
OF young Miss PollywOg.
And although the Tadpole himself had grown
Stout and stupid, too,
He only saw the faults Of his wife
(AS others sometimes dO).
To all young Tadpoles my moral is this:
Before you settle in life,
BE sure you know without any doubt
What you want in the way of a wife.

1t is almost impossible to exhaust
the lodging accommodations m Jerusa-
lem. There are four or five converts,
besides several hotels, in the city which
solicit patronage. One of these con-
vents is accredited with having COM
Portable lodging room for 1000 travel
ers, and with being a4ole to house 5000
people on a pinch.

The cheerfulness which spreads its
influence about in spite OF circumstances
and surroundings is like the grateful
south wind which comes to US after
the heated day; it is the nectar of life.
Without it, trials multiply and troubles
visibly increase. We can not live with
out the cheerful person. We may tire
of the gems of the first waters, grow
weary when we wear the finest fabrics
the looms can furnish, but the cheerful,
hopeful individual is the sweet solace
OF existence. 1t is contended by some
writer's that our mental and physical
condition are so intimately associated
that the reaction of the one on the
other is visibly felt. Granted this to
be true, should we not teach cheerful
ness to our children with their earliest
English? Life represents a prepara-
tory school where the soul learns to
creep towards a better and higher
eternity. The deeds of to-day, the
trials of yesterday, are scarce remem-
bered tomorrow, and the future is all
our own. Why then fret and fume
when the best has been done? We
have known an entire well-cooked
meal to be spoiled by the sour face of
one disagreeable individual And
these cheerful people, how we welcome
them! The world seems a garden spot
when they are near. and eFen death is
ro5bed of its terrors- if they are to ac-
company us if only just to the brink.
But how, asks some one. can we learn
to be cheerful? How can we cultivate
what does not come to us by nature?
The philosophy is very simple, my
friend. Study to accept the inevitable,
and recognize in yourself missionary
for Tightening mans heavy burden. If
YOU can find surer way than by
making yourself acceptable and agree
able we are much mistaken.-Zi0H's
