INITIATING THE DEAR MEN.

The New York girl is trying once more to
be little man. She has the spells periodi-
~ii-~--z s~S-
ience. The outbreak showed itsolf this time
during the spring and now, with the advent
of summer, seems likely to rage as never
before. My opinion is that il all comes of
equestrianism. The trousers which she wears
under the skirt of her riding habit make her
feel masculine and she has an uncomfortable
desire to extend the manliness of costume
into things visible. Her bosom swells with
pride just now under mems neckware. Flat
scarfs of light-colored silk, with scarfpin
stuck in them; dickeys of plated cam
brio, with standing collars, and arrange
ments Of folded piquc are illustrations Tho
vests of satins, brocades and leather now so
fashionable, the gloves of heavy embroider-
cd leather the fancy for silk and colored
handkerchiefs, and even the return of linen
cuffs may be counted as expressions of the
mania. Linen collars are still high and
tight around the neck. The cuffs cores
pond. Many of these are Of colored linen.
Young Indies incline much to dog collars of
ribbon, tied in front and fastened by two
or four gold pins with heads of tiny flowers
or insects. Standing collars are either but
toned with single button in front or tied
with a narrow ribbon, passing through two
button-holes. Some also have corners turned
over slightly. This last style is attached to
a small chemisette when the form Of the
dress requires it. Collars OF colored percale
and of pique, in white and colors, are also
liked. The "jaquette gentleman" is much
worn. II is of corduroy or Of beige cloth.
The front closes by means of single row
of buttons, and falls loose without darts or
small side pieces the back is very short
and almost tight-fitting. Around the basque
is hem about one inch and half Deep
against which Is sewed a second basque
hemmed in the same way and falling below
the upper one to about the depth of the
hem. This jacket is worn over skirts OF
coarse fabrics as well as over elegant lace
ones. The silk hat and the jockey cap have
long been in use for equestrian purposes

TRuR TYPES OF HEALTH.
When u Man shoaid BE In the Best Physi-
eni Condition.


At the age of twenty-five a man should
have acquired his maximum height, varying
normally from Eve feet six inches to six
feet His weight should slowly increase
throughout the adult period, being at thirty
little less than the maximum, which
should be reached at forty. The weight Is
very variable between normal limits; but
the average among men of medium height
twenty-five years old may be placed at about
lao pounds.
The power of endurance should be great
est between twenty and thirty that is, q
man should be better able TO endure hard
ships between twenty and thirty than at any
other time of life. The system may, per-
haps, bear the burden of more protracted
but less vigorous exaction during the period
OF maturity, but intense heat or cold of
short duration, and such work as lifting
heavy weights, taking short but rapid runs,
and, indeed every exercise which taxes &C.
yerely but briefly the muscular and nervous
systems. are best borne ct the adult age.
1t is the same with intellectual work.
Those occupations get the best start at this
time of life which exercise the mind intense.
ly, but for comparative short periods as
for example, the inventors, the attorneys
and the novelists, while writer on any
subject requiring years of labor rarely ac
compliahes much until he is forty-five. Dur
ing the period at which the life has been
short but vigorous, the efforts at labor
should be short but vigorous.
There are people who can practice excess
es with immunity, which would almost GER
tainly produce in others severe If not dan
gerous illness. For example, one man may
sit in close room alfred in damp clothing,
or when perspiring after violent exercise,
and be none the worse forit while another
indulging such practice reapsa whirlwind
of cough, cold or asthma. Oftwo men, one
may be exposed TO infectious diseases, or to
the morbifc-i. e., disease-producing, ten.
denotes of swamp or sewer miasm, without
experiencing any evil effects; while the
other suceumbs at once.
This quality of withstanding disease We
have named resistance; and though its &c.
ton differs almost from hour to hour in the
same individual, YET at the period of life
now under consideration its power is greater
upon the whole than at any other.
During adult age appetite should be less
than at earlier and more than at later
periodr. It is evident that to.supply growth
more nourishment is needed than TO simply
support life, and to maintain the yigor of
adult age more is needed than to feed the
slower and less intense processes of maturi-
ty. With sleep, however, the contrary holds
true, because of of the greater power of en-
duranee. But one internal process need be
mentioned among the standards namely,
the pulse. This is u convenient Indicator
of the circulation. In rapidity the pulse
decreases in q constantly diminishing ratio
from infancy to old age, SO that during adult
life it beats normally from seventy five to
eighty times in minute.

WAYS OF THE CUBAN GIRL.


There is love of mischief in some of the
full orbs that are turned upon a stranger in
the streets, and if he be inclined to firt he
Will be pretty certain to get revelation of
the possibilities of the pastime. Cuban
girls have got flirting down to science.
New York girl is clumsy at IL beside one
OF these maidens. The Cuban girl must
have her fan with her or she won't engage
IN the telegraphic combat Without fan
flirting is raw and clumsy. With one it is
artistic, electric, and instead of requiring
holiness is heightened by suggestion of
modesty. Then, again, it is more safe, for
II man who has had dozen playful
messages flashed to him from behind a fan
should presume to hasten matters by any
imprudence, the Cuban girl has only to
close her fan and look at him with cool
surprise, and he will doubt his own senses
and go away uncertain whether he saw her
tiirt with him OF only thought he did.
These girls heighten the effect of each of
the few signals used in Irritation by CON-
bining each one with movement Of their
fans. A glance of admiration must be
caught in the instant between the removal
and replacing of the fan before the face.
and If caught it seems thousandfold more
mischievous than it would have looked If
the fan had not lent something of slyness
and secrecy to it. just SO il is with smile.
The flirting girl smiles behind her fan,
allows the young man to see the mischievous
expression, and then hides it in confusion.
Imagine Immediately afterward roeuish.

this habit the young women have of resting

young men, and curious custom has grown

If n young man is smitten by the charms

walks past her window of an afternoon.
Then the positions of tho two are reversed
and he is the one under scrutiny. He
passes and reposses the window, directing
side chances at the object of his admiration
She is quick to notice this, and; if she is
inclined to encourage him, she remains in
her seat In time he may venture to speak
TO her, and may either receive an invitation
TO call upon the family after a few chats at

Last evening the case of Patrick
Roach, charged by officer Hennis with
being drunk and disorderly, and com.
hitting an assault on him, was taken
up for trial before Judge Sbarpley.
Officer Hennis testified that last Sunday
evening he was sent tor to 90 to the
residence of Patrick Roach, on Reed
street. as.there was fight in the house.
When he got there the fight was over,
but there was . large crowd stand ng
around, and when he undertook TO dis
perse 1t, Roach, who was sitting on his
step commenced TO curse and abuse
him. The officer threatened to arrest
him II he did not keep quiet, when the
accused, with IN oath. declayed that he
could not arrest anybody. The wit
ness then stepped toward him to take
him In custody, when Roach struck
him and he drew his blackjack and
struck him several times. A young
man then came to the officers assist
ance, and he succeeded In landing his
prisoner in the hall.
Several witnesses were heard for the
defense, all Of whom testified that they
had never known ofRoach being drunk,
and contradicted the testimony of tbs
officer in all it's material points. A fter
hearing their testimony, the further
consideration of the case was postponed
until this morning, when q witness was
examined who stated that he was In
Roach = house when the fight was going
on between him and his two brothers,
ip-law
He saw the officer when he came up,
and heard Roach mouthing" to him,
and as he thought there was going to be-
trouble, he went away. Two other
witnesses were examined, but neither OF
them knew anything about the affair.
Roach was represented by Thomas
Davis and VIM. T. Lyman, Esds., and
at the close Of the evidence, Mr.. Davis
made an argument, in which he con-
tended that Roach WAS more sinned
against than SHINING. Judge Sharpley
said that he Cid not think the evidence
warranted him in entertaining the
charge, and the case was dismissed.

Tho Deadly open switch.

On Monday In splaced switch
in the track yard Of the West Jersey
road, at Camden, N. j., caused the
death OF locomotive engineer and re
suited In collision in which eight Der.
sons were badly injured. The respon.
sibility for the disaster cannot be fixed.
Nobody pleads guilty to having left the
switch open.
The switch ia technically called :" a
crossover." The train from Burlington
was entering the yard at Third
street and Bridge avenue, on the west
bound track, just as West Jersey
local express was pulling out on the
eastern track. The time was about
half-past six o'clock, and a heavy fog
prevented the West Jersey engineer
from seeing That the switch was
wrong.
His train dashed over upon the " up
track directly in front of the Camden
and Amboy divisions locomotive,
which was approaching at the rate of
niteen miles an hour. A collision was
inevitable. Joseph Carmap, engineer
OF the West Jersey train, applied the
air brakes, reversed his engine and at
tempted to jump from the cab.
Just at that instant the locomotives
crashed together. He was damned be.
tween the water tank and the cab. He
iived only quarter of an hour. He
leaves wife and three children, and
was hfty.six years old. His family
i've IN Burlington and reached Camden
to find him dead.
George Simpkins, the fireman of the
Amhoy train, was almost similarly
caught, but escaped with crushed feet,
though he is not expected to live. Ore
loot was completely torn off and the
other had to be amputated this morn.
