DRESS.

DRESS.
One Of Carlyle's best books is on the
subject of dress. The great seer. A. J.
Davis, in his writings on health and
disease, puts dress among the first of
the hygienic means of restoring and
preserving health. But as Il means of
display. Of rivalry among women, Of
creating envy and provoking extrava-
gance, of distorting the body. of lavish
expenditure Of money. Of tempting poor
| women to live beyond their means, Of
inducing poor girls to Sell themselves
to men of the town, etc. ETC., dress
m " he said to take the lead
The ma, milliner, Worth, of PARIS,
has made i fabulous fortune by taking
the leal of the civilized world in fur
nishing models and dress for women.
Pope said. "Worth makes the man and
want Of worth the fellow.' In our day
Worth makes the lady and want of
Worth the mere woman. Worth re-
ceives often by one mail over 1000, 900
francs OF we'll up to half million dol
lars for ladies goods. This is only his
orders by mail. lie pays Lis two head
bookkeepers q salary OF $1,000 each,
which is all the United States of Amer
ica can afford to pay to tho man who
takes charge of the government. His
stables are among the best in the
world, each horse having a mar ble ba-
sin for oats and another for drink. His
country seat near Paris is said to be
among the costliest and grandest in
Europe.
In short, the princes and kings will
soon have to go the rear. Worth, and
the men who furnish styles and dress
goods for women, will lead in wealth.
This is not an essay Oh the follies
and vanities Of women, but 4 state
ment of facts. Women will dress, hus.
bands and fathers will foot their bills,
and there's millions in it,"
Worthington needs Il ladies' furnish
ing store, something less than Worth:s,
10y. the-way, Worthington was proba-
bly, named after Worth, tie ington be-
ing put on merely to fill up,) and there
is some talk of in establishment of that
kind being opened here. The women
OF our county send away thousands of
dollars every year to Chicago, st. Paul,
New York and other cities, for costly
cloaks and fancy goods, and the mer-
chant who can supply them at home
will get their patronage. An estab-
lislment of that kind here would draw
the trade of Il large extent Of country
and supply the ladies of Il number of
surrounding towns and counties.

Mr.. Simpson adds for our informa-
tion:
From a very ancient period Of the
worlds history the force of the wind
has been recognized rs the cheapest

been to control and regulate the power.
By the above invention the power of
the wind is absorbed, condensed and
controlled with as much ease aud per-
fection as that Of steam power.

PRAIRIE FIRES.

As early as Thursday last prairie
fires were beginning to run about
Steele and Buffalo. OAK, destroying
large numbers of grain stacks, FARM
ing implements and even human life
in some instances. Fifty farmers were
burned out about Bismarck, losing
from 500 to $4,000 each. The losses
aggregate $4,000. In Cass county,
Dak., the large Russell farm lost 200
acres of wheat, the large barn with 65
tons Of hay and lot Of farm machi-
merry.
In few days fires will be running
here. Forewarned is forearmed. Don't
count OH narrow fire breaks.
HIGH LICENSE IN NEW YORK:
A telegram from New York says
that the Church Temperance Society is
at work for high license a committee
consisting of Bishop Potter, Rev. How
ard Crosby and Rev. John Hall have
prepared Il bill which is to be pressed
upon the legislature. They propose
also to get high license plank in the
Republican platform if possible.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher sends
the following to the Post Express from
Peekskill, n. Y:
am decidedly in favor Of the inser.
tiOn Of u high license plank in the plat
form Of the Republican State Conven-
tiOn because absolute prohibition is an
absolute impracticabilily. High Ii
Cense IS feasible and equitable, and the
moral st'nse of the community will sus
tain the demand. The result will be !,
greater protection of society from the
evil Of liqnor selling than by any other
method that can be enforced.
Really, that sounds very much like
the talk Of the ADVANCE. High IL
cense is practicable, and is u step to.
ward prohibitions. But prohibition is
impract icable and impo ssible until
each individual prohibits himself from
using liquor.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

The new regulations for Chinese
immigration, which have been pub
lished in our "By Authority column,
merit commentator. They embody
a policy to which both the country
and Government are committed. 1t
is accepted as a leading principle of
public policy that the immigration of
the future shall be of a character that
will build up the country by an in
crease of families. Heretofore Chi
nese immigration has not been of
that character. 1t was composed
almost exclusively of adult male
labOrers, who had no family ties
binding them to this country, and
who contributed nothing towards its
development except their manual
labor.
The evils of such an immigration
were recognized on all sides, and it's
continuance has become impossible if
a progressive community is to be es-
.tablished on these Islands. The
present Administration put many
obstacles in the way of Chinese immi-
grafton, but it was found that the
Chinese were Systematically evading
the restrictions placed upon their en-
trance into this Kingdom, as they
generally managed to introduce two
men for every one who took away
a passport. The new regulations
render a continuance of this abuse
impossible. Twenty-Five Chinese
Immigrants are still entitled to land
from any one vessel, but Chinese
Iaborers leaving for China will not be
granted certificate or passport, and
therefore cannot return except as in
cluded in the twenty-five above men
toned. Cinnamon engaged in bust
ness or any productive industry are
to be permitted to return by provid-
ing themselves with the requisite
papers here to prove their identity to
the Consul General at Hongkong.
Two things will probably happen
in this connection. An attempt will
be made by every Chinaman who in-
tends visiting his native country to
show that he is not "laborer" within
the meaning of the regulations. This
attempt failing, which it must in
many cases, the emigration of Chi
nese will be checked. The available
labor in the country therefore will be
conserved, to the manifest gain of
planters, while other classes of labor
will have guarantee that it will not
be swamped by swarms from China.
The public will watch the working
of the new regulations with interest.
Their vigorous enforcement SHOULD
result in lasting good to the country.

CHILD LABOR Ii HAWAII.

There is well-reason ed article on
this subject in the astyisshe of "rhe
Friend" in which the following
statements are made:
Largs numbers of Portuguese boys under
twelve years of age work regularly on the
plantations. Tie teachers of our schools
have the greatest difficulty in securing the
attendance of Portuguese boys who are able
to carry pail of water, or handle a light
hoe. In some cases large numbers of Por-
tuguese boys are enrolled as being in attend
aacs at certain schools when they are regu-
larry at work on some neighboring planta-
ton. It would be a revelation to the pub
lie if reliable statistics could be published
showing the number of boys and girls un-
der fourteen who are regularly employed in
the various Industries Of Hawaii nei.
The law looking to the compulsory at
tendance Of all children of suitable school
age would seem to be sufficient in securing
its object. The fact that it is not is due to
several reasons In the first place, the
teacher in given district has the greatest
difficulty in securing an accurate enroll
ment OF children of a school age in the dis
triet. In many instances the enrolment is
only Of such as have actually presented
themselves ut the school-house. If it were
made obligatory on alfemployers of labor to
return semi-annualIy list of all children
of their employees, under sixteen years of
age, a great step would be taken towards the
accurate and complete enrolment of school

THE attempt 10 establish tea GROW

THE attempt TO establish tea grow
ing as an industry at Fiji has appa-
rently been successful. The Fiji
Chimes" states that the tea industry
is thriving, and that after supplying
local requirements, it is intended to
export to New Zealand. This fact
should encourage similar enterprise
on these Islands. The sugar interests
of the FIJI grOupare greatly depressed,
owing to the late reductions in price,
and one large firm is said to have sus-
tanned great losses. There are sugar
planters, therefore, who are very
much worse off than those of our own
islands

COLONIAL newspapers are COM
planning Of dull times, but their own
appearance does not bear out the
complaint. For example, the Sgd
ney Morning Herald" of July 25th,
was a paper of twenty-four pages,
twenty-One by sixteen inches each, of
which sixteen pages consisted of live
advertisements. The net profits of
this paper are said to average $3.50, 900
year. The proprietors of the Sgd
ney Evening News and Clown
and Country Journal are said to de-
rive about the same revenue from
those newspapers. They are sam
piles of leading Australian newspa-
pers. The Sydney Morning Her
aid" of the date mentioned contained,
besides its local, intercolonial, and
general news from all points, letters
from regular and special correspond
ents at Rome, at the French head
quarters in Tonquin and in Mexico.
Mr.. Sala had also a four-cOlumn let
ter descriptive of George street, Sgd
ney, which should please New South
Welshmen. 1t is bright, and what
is of greater merit still, does not eX-
aggerate in the least. Mr.. SaIa does
not like the Sunday closing law in
force in Sydney.

children. OF course, without such an en-
roIlment, only partial attendance can be
counted on. In some school dis tricts there
are probably scores of children whose names
have never been on school record.
There is certainly an abuse apd
evasion of the law here which should
be remedied, assuming that the facts
are as presented in the foregoing
extract. No child should be per-
mitted to grow up in absolute ignor-
ance in this country; at the same
time there may be such a thing as
overriding "education," that is, in
struction in schools. We attach a
great deal of Importance to Industrial
training, and it is by no means bad
feature to find that Portuguese parents
train their children to work. This
accustoms them to habits of industry,
teaches them to respect authority,
and in short prepares them for the
battle of life in which the majority of
them must engage.
The great drawback with the Ha-
waiian natives is that they are seldom
capable of sustained labor, and this
arises in great measure from the fact
that their children are not taught to
work The case is different with the
Portuguese, as~well as with natives of
China and Japan; but with regard to
the two last mentioned, there are so
few children in the country that
the point is hardly worth MAX
ing In the case of the Portuguese
their example may have beneficial
effect; but at the same time measures
should be taken to compel sufficient
attendance at schools without depriv-
ing parents of all the help which the
labor of their children is calculated to
give them in their support.
