New York has fine mountain hotel sites on

from some other place, and in a little, while is
more prejudiced against every place but
New York than Rip Van Winkle himself.
There is such thing as being too urban and

price at Saratoga to go to the races and
back, about three-quarters of mile. A car
riage all day at some resort, as above, over
splendid roads, by mills, creeks, frequent old
towns like those of Hartz country, and along
the base of graceful and nearly awing
mountains, costs only IS, and a one horse
carryall for three or four costs only s. a
day.
Then it is joyous to get away from silk
dresses and the life where women hate

Office talk There is plaintive sweetness in
the air, like one of Bryants poems, where
the word million has never been uttered.
1t is good to have no curiosities nor man mar

New Orleans Cor. CouTier-Journal.I
By 8 o'clock in the morning Jackson
square was alive with people and the street
iii front Of the cathedral was crowded from
curb TO curb with the faithful The occasion
of this congregation was the cOnferring of
the pallium on Archbishop Leray, which
was done in ample form Toward the mid
die of the day sounds of martial music could
be heard in every direction and bodies of
men i'll uniform were tramping about to get
their places in the procession. The scene
from our balcony, looking out over jackson
square, was very lively. The crowd about
the church grew exceedingly dense and the
mounted marshals could hardly make their
way through the masses of people.
The process ion was composa d chiefly Of
Catholic societies, one company OF soldiers
with fixed bayonets forming the only un-
spiritual feature OF it. The guns and the
brass band and the bright uniforms of the
men with their white helmets on seemed to
me some how out of accord with the tenor
of the ceremony, but did not strike the peo-
pie here as being at all out of the natural or
der Of events. The altar boys, acolytes and
cross-bearers, the priests robed in various
kinds of veStments, TIE bishops and arch
bishops all magnificently attired and mov-
ing with slow and solemn dignity, gave to
the scene a thoroughly foreign air perfectly
in keeping with the picturesque surround
ings. Among the crowd one could hear
hardly word of Engli,h, and even then
the pronunciation made it sound like for
eign language. 1t was like painting from
one of the Old masters, and the statue of
Old Hickory ON the square seemed to take
off his hat and bow his stately obeisance to
the sacred CEREMONY

1t is really doing the most wonderful
things. If you ask me how, | can only reply
that is the mind-curer's secret, which she
only imparts in a course of S75 lectures Her
treatment is to sit down alone with the pa

for twenty minutes to an hour once or twice
day, and keep perfectly still There is no

This new sanitary ethics makes boldly new
departure and prohibits the former profuse
pouring out of sympathy over those afflicted
with illness. Modern science claims that
this effect is debiitating in itself, and that
instead of helping the patient it is productive
of positiv 9 and essential harm.
There are those who at first will shrink
from this view of the case a little feeling it
is unsympathetic and hard-hearted; but a
little reflection and close observation will
show there is much truth in it. Modern sani-
tary science assumes that illness is for the
time, defective condition, regulating the
patient temporarily to the defective classes,
and that instead Of being coddled and en-
Outraged and caressed, it is to be met by an
infusion Of vigor and energy. and the patient
is to be inspired with the desire and the de.
termination to get well as speedily as posi-
ble

Esthetic Importance of Dress.
TBrooklyn Eagle.l


Could one Of the old Greek sculptors be
transported into modern drawing-room he
would surely wonder less that we have no
better art than that We should have any at
all. For the truth stares every thoughtful
person in the face We are daily doing
more and more to travesty the human form
and to set at naught those very principles
of harmony inculcated by various aesthetic
teachers with so much vehemence The
modern dress of both sexes by no means ac-
cords with the simplest laws Of beauty,
hygiene, and economic science. And, take
it for all and all, perhaps the dress Of q lady
was seldom more inartistic, unhealthy, and
extravagant than at present, and surely
never more vulgarizing.
Consider the fashion OF earrings. Now
il is obvious that the reason OF women mu-
tilating their ears is not to be found in the
circumstances among which we are living.
The modern earring of cultivated nations Is
n relic of ruder mental and moral condi
tons, and though we have outlived the bar
barism We persist in retaining the fashion OF
barbarians-a case among many in which
the result OF progress has been negative and
not positive.
Again, regard a lady's toilet as mere
drapery The eye is tortured by the multi
pIicity of onglss, lines and points, and what
the fragmentary appearance OF the dress one
is reminded of the piecemesl structure OF the
animals called articulate. Harmony Of color
is regarded as little as harmony OF proper
ton, and the passion for novelty has induced
extreme wastefulness-twentyd dresses OF in
ferior stuff are preferred to one Of rich and
artistic material, and the thought and care
that might devisa a really beautiful costume
are expended upon the manufacture OF

THE PAltAMA CANAL.
Rather an Unpromising Review Of the
Isthmian situation.

TSan Francisco Chroncle.l
A gentleman who has recently returned
from a visit to Panama, stated to a
reporter that the canal company is evidently
working with zeal and energy for the COM
pletion of the great task which it has under
taken
"What actual work has been done towards
the completion of the whole" was asked.
40 the superficial visitor little is TO be
seen except some five miles of dredgei ex
cavation at the Colon end. An enormous
amount of material and machinery, drelge
boats, locomotives, etc, has been brought
to the isthmus. but large portion OF it both
for the canal and railroad is said to be poorly
adapted for practical purposes In fact,
nothing but preparations have been made,
and all in all there seems to have been a
great want of Judgment in the direction Of
affairs. A great amount of money has been
uselessly expended that would have been
saved had some go-ahead American been
employed in the superintendence of pur-
chase and progress"
"What is the general state of health on the
isthmus!"
"Strange to say, while material prosperity
is much increased, there seems to be total
disregard of all sanitary regulations. The
disposal of the dead, the management of the
cemeteries, and the deficiency of whole
some water supply are all simply in
famous. But a few days ago, for example,
the opening of a new cemetery was cele-
bratei with military, music and fireworks
yet that cemetery had already received 934
human bodies. 1t is well known that the
climate of the isthmuS is very trying to
foreigners and that the fatality should be
great AMI increased largely by the upturn-
ing of so much soil must be evident to every
one. That fatality will most probably be on
the increase, but as TO any exact data on the
extent of the death-rate, l confess was un-
able to satisfy myself"
what are the prevailing causes of deathr
"Dysentery and fever of a most psrnicious
character. Everything aids the increase of
these diseases. The water supply of Pan
anna, for instance is scant, and what there
is is of such quality that its liberal use is
almost sure to produce a severe attack OF
dysentery in few days.

sion as to the success of The canalP
"The difficulty % controlling the Chagrss
river Since the beginning of the survey
and during the work that has been done,
this river has been unusually low. 1t is well
known, however, that at periods varying
from five to seven years the river overflows
to such AN alarming extent as to justify the
belief that when an inundation does occur
again much of the canal work will be swept
away"
