HEALTH HINTS.
FASHION As 4 CAUSE o. DISEASE

1t is very hard thing to say, but no fact
in the world is more susceptible Of demon
stration, that the average woman is
occupied from morn till dcwy eve III devils
ing schemes for the destination ofhcr health
and the production Of siehiy offspring. And
the chief agent She cmploys 70 this end is
Dress.
The sermons which have becn preached
from the pulpit and the TRADES which have
been writtea IN medical works against tight
laGing and fashionable costumes would fill a
good sized library. And yet our women
continue in their servitudc TO Fashion,
although there is not one in thousand who
does not undergo constant suffering as the
penalty,
"What do men know about 4 woman's
dress % will be the sharp retort Of the pert
miss of eighteen whose waist has been
reduced by steady pressure to a circumfer-
ence of eighteen inches or thereabouts.
Perhaps our little friend is right, and men
neither know or ought to know anything
about the matter But before stating the
medical objections to modern costumes, let
us put lady in the witness box ana hear
what She has to say on the subject.
Mrs, IL. Il. Iaweis in an exhaustive essay
on Beauty and Dress says as rJ]low8.-
"The finest costume ever worn was the
Greek and Roman, for il combined the three
great requirements of dress--d }. To protect:

was a simple shift which IN earlier times
was sleeveless; over it was tlrawa the siola a
tuuic with sleeves, which, as 4 rule covered
the upper part OF the arm only and which
was clasped, not sewn, together This
upper tunic was extremely long, and was
caught up by hip girGle forming broad
folds and gathers about the waist; and bands
were worn beneath to support but never "a

Father o'Connor recently said that the
decision of the saloon-keepers had shaped
out for him definite line of action.
Il will call a meeting Of all the organiza.
tions connected with the church," said he,
''and l will appeal to them to stand by me
in this fight for morality and proper observ-
ance Of the Sabbath day. l will ask them
to refrain from patronizing the saloons on
Sunday and will ask my people whether
the church or the saloon-keeper is to be sup
ported in this battle for the right. Then
will call a meeting of all the men in the
church, then one for all the women, and one
for all the boys and girls of my parish All
these meetings will be held separately. I
have 10 fears for the result Those saloon.
keepers who are trying to thwart me will
find out their error before finish this strug-

For The WGLMtNGToNIAN,
1.-The course Of true love never did run
smoothly" They We're in the raror. She
was fair, plump and beautiful; IIo was
disagreeable diminutiye and unprepossess-
ing, but was madly, ~, wildly fond of her.
She loathed, dcspised ami detestcd linn; and
he, with characteristic pertiuacity, tormen-
ed her with his attentions, unto, driven to
desperation She struck him dead Kind
reader, you will, no doub!, sympathize with
this poor unfortunate, whose life paid the
penalty for having loved too fondly but
when we inform you that he was flea, you
will say that it was Unsuitable removal, .
and that the thorough determination of that
particular species Of lowers would be great
benefit to man generally.

The large-sized hook was removed and a
smaller one substituted. Every inch of line
was coiled in so that the tip Of the rod was
brought vertically over the float, not more
than foot intervening. Presently the
familiar "shiver, SILVER" of the float mani
tested itself, in the very act of which the rod
was jerlsed sharply upwards. The myster-
ious something" came to bank at last in
the shape of a struggling shapely Sucker
eight OF nine inches long. The pond literally
teemed with the fish.
The rest was easy. All that was necessary
was to keep sharp eye on the float, and
strike on the faintest Indication that the fish
below had the tail end Of the worm in its
mouth. With just half an inch of the quill
| of the float above water the requisite deli
cacy was obtained All that need be addeC
| is that a dish of suckers, in season, is cnl
mary delicacy scarcely to be surpassed.

information on the topic Of sketching from
Nature leaves Us only the agreeable alterna-
tive of pursuing the subject il greater
detail.
1t has been limited that our lady friends
and readers do not accept very cheeriuily
our suggestion to abandon attempts at col
oring in their first experiments Eeverthe-
less such advice is thoroughly sound, as
every artist will testify. No amount Of
| local color will make a house look right if
the perspective lines are wrong. To color a
| tree with staring green for the foliage and
heavy brown for the trunk will not atone
for bad drawing Drawing first, color after
| wards.
| But, assuming that our lady friends can
| draw pretty well from copies and have cor
rect ideas Of perspective, their demand for
hints on coloring their sketches are fairly
| reasonable.
Il want to paint flowers, said one of the
fair critics, who loudly protested against
| being tied down to a single gloomy color
| like asphaltum.
But dear madam, would you assert that
color is the only element in the successful
| delineation of flowers? If you attempt to
| paint a rose, and produce nothing but Nat
| red discs and artificial looking green leaves
would that inform your friends what tile
| object was? Surely you Will admit that u
correct outline, showing the exact saape Of
| the petals and the notohes in the leaves
| which express the botanical character at a
glance, would convey the information bstter
| l. it not SO?
| Then you will own that there is another
difficulty to overcome Ii you paint group
| of flowers from copy you notice how the
| artist has worked to secure roundness and
relief; how the lights and shadows are
! grouped; how some leaves are shown edge
ways and few, only few, an full face. I
y on have perhaps "a correct eye for copying
and good appreciation Of color SO you
succeed in making copy which can scarcely
be distinguished from the original But
Wien you place few fresh flowers in an
aesthetic vase oI jar and attempt to paint
from Nature itself, You are thrown on YOUR
own resources and you speedily acknow-
edge that those resources are very feeble
indeed.

at the right end instead Of the wrong. Take

painting ThelSla and Emile Berghaus
in the most attractive colofs his imagi-
nation could supply, till Grace said,
gravely:

but not smiling either, and rather glad

Despite her drowsness they sat up
late, talking over past doings at their
home at Foulhaven, where Philip had
not been for the last three years.

on her young shoulders, and a warm,
generous heart to boot. Honesty was
her chief characteristic honesty Of
word, deed and purpose on her own
part, love of honesty in others, and a
quickness in, as IL were, scentiDg out
dishonesty in all its forms, and an in
tense, uncompromising detestation of
it,which, as Philip told her, was, on the
whole, rather troublesome than other
wise. But he smiled as he said it, and
Grace, with secret thrill of pleasure,
felt that he loved her for that honesty,
and that the salient feature of his own
character was the same thing; that,
whatever he might say, in jest or satire,
he was loyal TO the backbone-"jan-
mock, , to use the expressive vernacular
of Lancashire or Yorkshire that, his
word once seriously pledged, be it by
no more ample formula than Eyes" or
mo" 81 will," or "I will not" it
would be kept at whatever cost, and
kept, not in letter only, but in the very
spiritof his promise.
A few days suflicei to make Grace
satisfied that Thekla and Emile Berg
haus were an fond, like her brother
and herself 'jannock," and the
friendship progressed with the rap
i'd pace Incidental to the friend
ships OF honest boys and girls in
general. The BergharS girls were un-
spoiled at heart, though their training
and education, their incessant courses
of balls and visits, and their life in q
house whose doors were always open,
and which was scarcely ever void of
some kind of company, had given them
q confidence of manner and some-
what artificial behavior which had at
first rather puzzled and almost re-
PEELED the country-bred girl. But the
genuineness which she soon found be-
meath the surface quickly won her
heart, while it was very pleasant, even
to a student at SO advanced an academy
as the Women's College, occasionally
TO cast aside her studies and partake OF
the social amusements to be found at
Carlton Grove. Compliments were
not altogether despicablo, even to one
who professed to be interested in Mill s
"System of Logic" and the attention
which Philips friends paid to his
bright and handsome sister was by no
means disagreeable to her.
One morning, when it streamed with
rain, somewhat more than week after
Grace's arrival, Philip, little later
than usual, rose from the breakfast
table and prepared to take his way to
town. Grace had been discoursing
again about their next door neighbors,
and Philip had been more interested in
the discourse than he would have cared
TO confess. Whether from that reason
or not, he was three minutes late, and
when he opened the door and looked
out the omnibus was just vanishing
round corner, on its way to town
Buttoning up his macintosh and ra s
ing his umbrella, he decided to walk a!
far as Carlton Road, and there take an
other omnibus, or, in default of that, ,
cab TO the Office.

Sweet simplicity.
FRO BE Continued

I saw a girl come into a street-car the
other day who had, | was ready TO bet,
made her own dress, and how nice she
did look. She was one Of those clean,
trim girls you see now and then. She
was about eighteen years old, and, TO
begin with, looked well-fed, healthy
and strong. She looked as though she
had sensible mother at home. Her
face and neck and ears and her hair
were clean, absolutely clean. How sell
dom you see that There was no pow
der, no paint on the smooth, rounded
cheek or firm, dimpled chin; none on
the moist red lips; none on the she'll
tinted but not too small ears; none on
the handsomely set neck-rather broad
behind, perhaps, but running mighty
prettily up into the tightly-corded hair.
And such hair! 1t was OF light chest
nut brown, and glistened with specks
of gold as the sun shone upon 1t, and
there was not a smear of oil or poma-
tum or cosmetic on it; there was not a
speck Of it astray and not pin to be
seen in it. As the girl came in and took
utt otutt Blu Otob III Ouo1g
rassed glance around the car from q
well-opened gray eye, bright with the
inimitable light of good condition"
such as you see in some handsome
Young athletes who are in good
training. There were no tags and
ends, fringes, furbelows, or futtering
ribbons about her closely-ftting but
easy suit OF tweed, and as she drew of
one glove to look in her purse for a
small coin for fare, noticed that the
gloves were not new, but neither were
they old; they were simply well kept,
like the owner and the owners hand,
which was a solid hand, with plenty Of
muscles between the tendons and with
strong but supple fingers. 1t would
have looked equally pretty fashioning a
pie in home kitchen or folding a
bandage in a hospital. 1t was hand
that suggested at the same time woman
illness and work, and was sorry when
it found five-cent piece and had been
re-gloved. One foot was thrust out a
little over the Stats of the car floor--a
foot in a good walking-boot that might
have splashed through rain-storm
without fear of damp stockings-and an
eminently sensible boot on two and
one-half foot, with high instep, a
small round heel and a pretty broad
tread. The girl was a picture from
head TO foot, as she sat erect, disdaining
the support of the back Of the seat and
devoid Of all appearance of stiffness.
Perhaps the whole outfit to be seen,
from hat to boots, did not cost forty
dollars, but l have seen plenty Of out
fits costing more than ten times, OF
even twenty times that which did moi
look one-tenth or one-twentieth as well.
II our. girls only knew the beauty Of
mere simplicity, cleanliness and health,
and their fascination!--Sdn Francisco

made ON their clips. While Waco has
