WIsdom In Clothing.

DR.. Richardson of London says: /
agree that the tax of carrying clothes
from the waist is utterely unjustiiable,
and that the parts that should bear the
burden are the shoulders, and none
other. In this regard women ought to
be placed under just the same favorable
conditions for movement of the body as
men, and the greatest emancipation
that women will ever have achieved
will have arrived when she has dlscOv-
cred and carried out this practical i'm
provement. Any one who will for a
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, infinitely superior to that of wom-
en-. In the dress of the man every part of
the body is equally covered.
The middle Of tine body is not envel-
oped in a number Of close layers, while
the lower hmbs are left without close
clothing altogether; the center of the
body Is not strained with a weight
which almost drags down the limbs
and back; the chest is not exposed to
every wind that blows, and the feet
are not bewildered with heavy garments
which they have to kick forward or
drag from behind 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 digestive
organs: it leaves the limbs free; it is
easily put on and off, and it allows of
ready change in vicissitudes Of wealth
er.
1t is told of the late eminent surgeon,
Mr.. Cline, the teacher of Sir Ashley
Cooper, that when ne was consulted by
lady on the questions how she should
prevent girl from growing up mis-
shapen, he replied: "Let her have NO
stays, and let her run about like the
boys" 1 gladly re-echO this wise
advice of the great surgeon; and l
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 what
ever in respect to them-giye them
knickerbOckers if you like-with these
exceptions, that the undergarments be
of a little lighter material, and that
they be supplemented by an outer gown
or robe which shall take the place OF
the outer coat Of the boys and shall
make them look distinctly what they
are-girls clothed, cdp-a-pie, and vel
clothed from head to foot.

Henry Ciay's Daughter.

Just to the right of the entrance to a
small, illy-kept, almost unused grave
yard. at Lebanon, O.,-a little city
famed the State over as being the home
fo- years of the most gifted orator of
his time, Thomas Corwin-is stained
and moldy stone sarcophagus, less than
three feet in height and six feet in
length, inclosed by a rude fence Of
barbed-wire, stretching upon clumsy,
unhewn posts. The yard bears every
evidence of neglect. The ground
around it is sunken, and the grass and
brlers Chamber up the dingy stone
tomb's side and show a disposition to
cover it from view. The poor neglect
ed grave is stranger to the attention
of love-guided hands. A cluster OF
sweet yiolets now lift their bright faces
from the grass near the head Of the
tomb, but they came there by chance.
A little later on, the grave will be
showered by the blackberry's pretty
white blossoms, but the brakes upon
which they burst to bloom were planted
there by kindly nature.
And yet beneath those rough slabs OF
stone lie the remains of a noble young
girl, upon whom in lite was bestowed
the extravagant love of one OF
Americas grandest minded men; a
Young girl whose ultimate death sad
deped the life of one of the country IS
broadest and widest statesmen. The
neglected grave contains the remains
of a beautiful woman, over whose rest
ing place fitting monument should be
erected by the people whom her fathers
brilliant talent 50 ably served. But il
is neglected, uncsred for and almost
unknown save to few outside oil
Lebanon's limits.
1t is unpleasant to think that the
offspring of such noble parents is thus
permitted to suffer long years Of almos,
utter neglect among people who
know the story of her birth and OF hel
distinguished fathers merits, but true
it is that in that humble grave lie the
remains of a daughter Of Henry Clay
tne man whom Kentucky hOnors above
all men; the man who labored so grand
Iy i'm the interest of the nation, and
who was within step Of the Presi
DENTAL chair. Around that grave
clusters a mournful, romantic history
IL WAS related to reporter, by one OF
the old citizens of Lebanon, while
standing beside the stone sarcophagus
within the rusty barbed wire inclosure
Said the reporter.

PatIi's Early Courtship.

There is a story of the Sunday even
ing meetings at PATHS house during
the winter after she had returned from
her London season. From these gath
eFinSs Nilsson was seldom absent, and
among the most diligent visitors were
GustAve Dore, the Vicomte Darn, Ba-
ron st. Armand, and Marquis de Caux,
who were such inseperables that they
were called ''the three-leaved clover. {"
Adelina looked forward to the meet
ing with the Marquis with glad excite
ment. He did not keep US waiting
long, but the meeting was also part
ing. The marquis had to 90 with the
Empress Eugene to Biarritz, and as he
expected 10 remain for a considerable
period, he asked permission to write to
Adelina and receive intelligence con-
cerning her. This permission was given
with the understanding that the CORES
pondence was to pass through my hands,
and was to be conducted by the marquis
and myself. l had to report the small
est details Of the happenings to Adelina,
and his excellent pen gave us the most
piquent descriptions of all that went on
In BiarritZ.
One evening-it was after a perform
ance of "Traviata"-the marquis re-
manned with us after few friends had
departed from Adelina' s dressing room.
As he always repeated conscientiously
the town gossip to US, Adelins turned
smilingly toward him and asked:
"Well, marquis what Is there new;
what is Paris talking sbout?"
"The newest thing" was the answer,
sis that we are engaged"
1 must admit that this answer start
led me, and that | looked at AdelIna
with my curiosity on tension. Her
features seemed enlivened by an mex
pressible lovelineSs. Sm;lingly she said
to the marquis:
"And why not? hope it would not
be unpleasant for YOU"
At first embarrassed, then joyfuuy
moved, the marquis was only able to
stammer the words:
"So, certainly not. l would be the
happIest OF mortals if it were truel''
Blushingly Adelina extended her
hand TO the marquis, who was almost
beside himself with joy, while she said,
81, too, would be happy"
Wildly the marquis pressed the prof.
fered hand to his lips, intoxicated with
10y he clasped Adelina in his arms. then
hurried away speechless. But Adelina,
in a long, warm embrace, whispered
the sweet confession to me:
81 am very happy"
1t was an unfortunate marriage foI
Patti.

ElIling the Desert.

The project for filling the Desert of
Sahara with water is creating great
deal of discussion among foreign,
especially French, journals. Naturally
the question has arisen, how long it
would take to fill the whole basin of
Sahara, and some startling figures are
given in connection Herewith. Five
thousand years, it IS claimed, would
be required to fill up that vast sea of
sand were the water to flow through a
passage 100 feet wide and % feet deep,
with the velocity of four miles an hour.
Under the same conditions it would
take 1000 years for the waters Of the
Mediterranean to fill the valley OF the
Jordan. With a channel 100 times
greater capacity it would do the work
in forty years. AT the same rate it
would take 10000 years to fill the
Caspian Sea to the level Of the Mediter.
ranean. Fortunately, It is only a
portion of Sahara that can be made
into lake or inland sea, and doubtless
there are middle-aged men to-day who
will live to see this much-talked-oi
feat accomplished.

BY THE W ASHES

We stood for = little together,
The water kissing our feet;

Twas you that lighted the day;
And the wat~r, glsncing and cleaning
And hurrying ever away

As past YOU il fed 10 the sea,

Silent Won stood awhile,
Hair in the sunligh- blowing,
Smiling a creamy smile.

Sweeter than all beside
And saw the waveicts glitter,

And the wind sang, Life may be bitter,

And I,ushed and loitered around you,
Surely finding you fair;

A few days ago a Detroiter and his

drop those slots-thus. See? Why, a
woman could put on one of those springs
with her eyes shut-price fifteen cents. "
Bones hadn't lost any of his doubtful
expression as he started out. He walk
ed feeling of his ear, and trying to re-
member Just what the dealer said, and
in half an hour he was at work on the
door. The dealer had held the upper
end of the spring to the northwest,
while his door opened to the northeast.
He sat down and thought and thought,
and finally decided to try 1t, anyhow,
Mrs. Bones come out and helped hlm
and the spring WAS finally put on.
''Now what2" she asked, as she OPEN
ed the door and saw that it remained
thus.
"Wby, we turn the ratchet, sup
pose"
'Ratchet-what's that?n
"Hanged if | know. I've heard the
boys say: Cheese the ratchet and
that's all L know about it. Oh yes; he
said 1 must put this wire in the holes
and turn"
"Well go ahead"
Bones turned and turned. The spring
stiffened and the door flew open.
That's Just like you, she said as she
jumped back. what on earth do we
want of spring TO hold door openr"
"That's so-that's so. Let's take 1t
off and turn it end fo- end"
This was tried, but it was no good,
and Mrs. Bones cried out:
"YOu might have knownit? 1t takes
a man with brains to put on springr'
"And I've got more OF 'em right In
my heels than your whole relations
have in their headsl"
''Then put ON that springp'
"I'm going to when l get ready.
There's no particular hurry, as | can
see."
Maybe it s tiredl" she sneered.
"And maybe you'd better attend to
your mopping!"
She went In and Bones tried that
spring six different ways. Then he
went off and borrowed gimlet, an
inch auger, crowbar, jack screw and
a pair OF pincers, and he tried six other
ways. He turned the old thing until
the tension lifted up one end of the

gate to the alley fence for the ratchet,
but the door had no spring to it. He
put the spring on diagonally, crosswise,
lentghwise, top for bottom and bottom
for top, and about 4 O'Clock in the af-
ternoon Mrs. Bones came out and found
him pounding it with the crowbar,
while the door had been wrenched apart
and heaved into the alley.
81 said you couldn't do it," she re-
marked.
Couldn't do whatp"
''Put on that spring."
"Who's tried to put on spring? We
don't need any door there, and I've
taken it away. Ii isn't at all likely
that We will see three flies this summer,
but if few do come around We amt
going to murder 'em, Springl L was
just fooling you. That was burglar
alarm, and the reason | didn't put it on
Is because We haven't anything to bur-
glarize. Even if We bad I'd let 'em
come. A burglar can't live unless he

A Fair show.

He had doubtful expression on his
phiz as he entered a hardware store,
and he spoke about the stove trade, the
Wall street panic, the Greenback con-
vention and several other matters be-
fore he finally SAID:
"I think it is time to put up fly

"You have springs, suppose"
"Yes, SIR"

A Cold Tea MAN.

"We has passed through terrible
crisis, :" SAID the Man with the Cold Tea
Scheme, with much sOlemnity, to the
Thin Man without a shirt collar. 1T
should teach this country grave lesson.
We are young, we are prosperous, but the
insane ambition to accumulate wealth
leads our business interests from legltl-
mate channels into speculative ones.
"Not been there yourself, have your"
asked the Thin Man.
''No, SIR"
"Scorn to accumulate by such
means2"
"Yes SIR"
Condemn theml"
81 do, most emphatically." replied
the Cold Tea Man.
Like to have money though, would
MT you?"
"Jarphly. repel your insinuation
with scorn. Money is not happiness. ]"
continued the Cold Tea Man, scratch
ing his head with q match. ut is at
best but An agent for the transmission
of happiness, and when that agent ap-
proaches us in questionable manner
all precedent tells US to refuse the
advances"
"Ycu been refusing any lately?"
Deigning no reply to this remark the
Cold Tea Man continued: Speculation
is the bane of country. BY it rail-
roads are built and hundreds of persons
are killed by them. Oil fields are opened
up and men are blown to atoms shoot
ing the holes. Steamer lines started
and boats sunk in mid-ocean, engulhng
those unprepared to die. Coal deposits
developed and men cremated In the
bowels of the earth. Gold and silver
mines worked. and happy country set
by ITS ears ON account of a supeF-abund-
ance Of trade dollars and surplus Of
minerals in the Treasury vaults. Mills
started"
"See here, .Goshorn, you have been
reading newspaper editorials lately,
amt you?"
Eyes, sir; l have. Why do you ask?"
queried the Cold Tea Man in surprise.
There's where you get your ideas OF
speculation amt itr"
81 may gather some from that source,
Mr.. JarphIy."
"Just 50. l knew 1t. -Four years
ago you would have gone to the editc-
rial columns for your psbulum, and
then we would have heard about the
great progress Of this glorious country
Railroads building in all direetionsl

opedl Millions of steel rails orderedl
Hip lai Whoop 'em upl Go it while
you're young! Epluribustal'
"Well, SIR" sternly remarked the
Cold Tea Man nterrogztively.
swell, sir, answered the Thin Man,
with q finger on his nose, SIT is only an
illustration of the old adage about the
devil sick and the oevil well. 1t is the
nature of humanity to accept things
without question when they run its
way, and howl murder when they get
hurt. One thing I'D like you to reflect
upon. 1t is speculation that has made
this country the great one that 1t is,
and it is bold careless financieriDg that
has raised it from poor, pauper moth
ing to its present financial altitudilum
among the nations of the earth, and it
is ingratitude to forget it." The Cold
Tea Man was snoring.
