Wisdom in Clothing.

I agree that the tax Of carrying
clothes from the waist, is utterly unius-
tifable, and that the parts that should
bear the burden arc tho shoulders and
none other, says an English physician
in London Truth. In this regard wo-
man ought to be placed under just the
same favorable conditions for move
ment Of the body as men, and the
greatest emancipation that woman will
ever have achieved will have arrived
when she has discovered and carried
out this practical improvement.
Anyone 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, infinitely superior to that of
women.
The middle of the body is not enc
veloped in . 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 ex-
posed to every wind that blows, and
the feet are not bewildered with heavy
garments which they have to kick for
ward or drag from behind with every
advancing STEP The body is clothed
equally, and the clothing is borne by
the shoulders; it gives freedom of mo-
ton to the circulation; it makes no I'M
due 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 weather.
It 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 q girl from growing up
misshapen. he replied: ''Let her have
no stays and let her run about like the
boys I gladly re-echo this wise adj
vice OF the great surgeon; and would
venture to add to it another suggestion.
! would say to the mothers Of England,
8 let your girls dress like Your boys;
make no difference whatever in respect
to them-give them knickerbock-
ers if you like with these excep-
tons, that the undergarments be Of
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 distinctiyely what they
are-girls clothed cap-a-pie, and well
clothed from head to foot.

Thus far in its presentation the
new theology is reformatory rather than
revolutionary in its teachings and ten
denotes. It accepts the nomenclature
Of the old, but shades or expands its
definitions so as to accord with the
subtiler experiences and the enlarged
observations of the age; and it main
old, but modifes their exposition SO as
to bring them into harmony with the
laws and processes Of being. It afirms
with the old that faith is the basis Of
salvation and Of all deliberative actiy-
ity, but it gives no pre-eminence to any
form of faith, and tests the validity
and suficiency Of faith by the saliva
ton it secures and the activity it in
spires. With the old it accepts all
scripture given by inspiration as di-
vine, and interprets scripture by scrip
ture, but it holds in allegiance all bibli-
cal utterances which seem unreason-
able, and rejects all which are in con-
dict with the nature Of things or the
course Of Providence, and aims to un-
derstand and corroborate the written
word by the works of nature; and it
maintains that no portion Of the scrip
ture can be q revelationof God to man
except to the extent that it is under
stood and conforms to the laws Of his
being.
One Of the most distinguished char
actsristics Of the new theology is its re-
spect for science, indicated BY its effort
to put all its statements on q scientific
method and tn fxaat fha va1na nr r1ti1ifv

Tho Book Thief's New Device.

The newest trick of the book thief
is q most curious one," said = Nassau
street book-dealer the other day, land
] confess it took me in completely, al
though l have been in the business for
ty years and thought I knew good
deal. A very we'll dressed man came
in and represented himself as the as
sistant librarian of the new public lie
brary at Cleveland. He said he had
come to this city to buy twenty thous-
and books, among which he wanted to
include about forty representative cop-
les of the old theological works printed
in New England within the first centu-
~ after the settlement of the Puritans.
.tOf course gave him permission to
look at what had in that line, y said
the book dealer. After examining
the books for about half an hour the
man went out, saying that he intended
to visit other book stores in the neigh
borhood. he returned about 8 o'clock
in the afternoon and looked again at
the books, and then went away, prom
Using to call in the morning and make
his purchases.
'Just after he had gone l noticed
that he had put one of the books back
on the wrong shelf. It.was volume
Of Cotton Mather's sermons printed in
Cambridge in 1868, and was almost
unique in this country. Taking it down
Il felt that there was some small sub
stance between some Of the leaves, and,

MINISTER MoRToN's GUEST -Apropos
of the gossip about thealleged special honor
paid to the Count Of Paris by Mr.. Levi F.
Morton, the American minister at Paris,
the other evening, London Truth says: at
is dangerous to touch French consprators
Mr.. Morton likes his guests to leave his
house agreeably impressed. He thought it
best, therefore, to please his Orleanist guests
by honoring the Count OF Paris pretensions
to the throne A lady asked Mr.. Morton to
introduce her to the Count of Paris. Mr..
Morton informed the Count OF this request,
and he intimated that he should be pleased
to allow her to be presented. Mr.. Morton
thereupon said to the lady: The Count of
Paris permits me TO introduce you to him.
The Orleanists present made use of this in
cident to circulate the report through France
that America admitted the sovereignty OF
the Count of Paris Mr.. Morton erred in in
viting an active, open pretender TO his house,
but he was led into it by American ladies',
unworthy of America, who pose in Paris as
leaders Of society by virtue OF their large
fortunes and the fact that they are married
to idle Frenchmen of dubious nobility.
These ladies regard the Europeans Is mean
whites, and fancy that nation without no
bility is a garden without flowers. Mr..
and Mrs. Morton are liable, however, TO
meet in royali-t DRAWN" rooms speckled

KILLED BY A LIoN.-When Wombell's
circus and menagerie tents were put up in
the public square at Auxonne short time
ago, one of the men employed about the
place met some old friends, and, after drink
ing about in tavern near the square, took
them to see the wild beasts. As they passed
in front of cage containing magnificent
African lion and two lionesses the guide
foolishly thrust his hand between the bars
to stroke the lions name. AS he did so the
lionesses sprang upon him, and, fixing their
claws i'll his flesh, held him against the bars
in spite of his companions frantic efforts to
release him from their deadly embrace.
The lion, excited at the struggle, gave roar,
and, with a sudden spring, fastened on the
mans shoulder and crunched the upper
part Of his arm to shreds. His shrieks
brought keepers to the rescue, who, with
iron bars and spears, finally compelled the
king of beasts to quit his hold. The unfor.
tunate wretch had flint.d, and presented

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS TO-DAY
SENATE.

Mr.. VOORHEES, presented memorial from
citizens of Indiana praying that Gen. John
G. Fremont be placed on the retired list of
the army.
Mr.. Allison reported from the Committee
on Appropriations the House joint-rcsoln-
ton appropriating 100000 for the relief Of
the sufferers by the overflow Of the MSsis
sippi river and its tributaries. The Senate
committee do not favor the appropriation
in the form presented nor the amount men-
toned. They recommend thcapproprialiou
of the unexpended balance Of the appropria.
ton made for the Ohio river sufferers.
which, Mr.. Allison explained, was about
$4,000, and which, in the absence of specific
information, the committee thought would
meet the exigencies. That amount would
supply about four hundred thousand rations
On vote those favoring the committees
recommendation were 90 and those op-
posed 10.
The yeas and nays were then called
which resulted-yeas 80, nays Is. So the
Senate amendment reducing the amount to
about $40, 900 was agreed to.
