Shall Women Wear Trouserse

DIR. W. A. Hammond. in North American Review.
can quite conceive that man thoroughly i'm
bued with the prejudices received from biased
education, indisposed to accept new ideas and
deeply endowed with love for the beautiful
might be reluctant to pay his addresses with a
view to matrimonv to woman wearing trous-
ers. Still, under the influence of familiarity
with the idea of change in the neither garments
of the sex, and especially should they be gener-
ally adopted by pretty women, it might reason
ably be expected that change of opinion and
emotion would ensue ard that perhaps in time
he might even be brought to regard trousers as
filing more completely his idea of the beau
tiful than do skirts ar the present
consideration, and that is the practice
Of wearing the gown cut loose in the neck, so as
to expose the breast, and without covering for
the arms 1t is doubtful if this leads to any i'll
consequence 1t has been continued for many
generations without apparent injury 1t might
be supposed at first thought that bronchitis,
pleurisy, pneumonia and many kinds of rheuma-
tism and neuralgia would be the result of the
custom, but such is really not the case, all of
these affections being much more frequently
met with in men, who cover the chest and arms
with several thicknesses of wooden material in
addition to shirt of linen or cotton 1t has
been strenuously urged by many so-called SAM
tary reformers that women should support their
skirts by straps passing over the shoulders, and
some few have been induced to adopt the
method. 1t is to be hoped that it will not
spread A womans hips are proportiona.ly
wider than those of a man, and
there is no better way of keeping up
the many petticoats that it is sometimes neces-
sary to wear than by fastening them with string
or bands around the waist, over the corset.
Shoulder straps hinder the movement Of the
chest and tend to make those who wear them
rcnnd shouldered. Besides, they could not well
be worn with low-necked dress. Even if
trousers should come into general use for wo-
men, it would be better that they should be kept
up by the support of the hips than by suspenders
passing over the shoulders tits true that many
men wear suspenders, and this fact may, per.
baps, lead to their adoption by some women;
but again, no inconsiderable number OF the
male sex support their trousers from the hips
If a comparatively narrow hipped man can do
this wide -hipped woman ought to be able to do
it better. A good deal more might be said in
regard TO hats. shoes and stockings. But wo-
men will settle all the questions Of dress for
themselves There is no evidence to show that
in this respect men have ever interfered with
them, and if they should presume to make the
attempt it is not all likely that their advice
would be needed.

Hard Times.

Gaunt, spectre-like in cast-off robe,
With hungry eye and fevered breath,
He comes when looked for least, and like
Grim Death stalks through the throbbing world
Of trade and deadens with his touch
Whence, wherefore, to what end, He comes,
Why tarries So tbs time each soul
Should ask We feel his presence; see
The engneries Of life benumbed
And still! Mark how blight and rust
Do rest on everything and how
Pale wretchedness and woe, in rags,
DO follow in his train and how
He grins exultant over all;
And yet our wisest seem as much
COMPOUNDED as did Pharaoh priests
AT old Egyptia's plaques. O, for
Some Moses, with illumined brain
And potent rod to flood with light
The deep profound, and succor from
This blighting scourage Then would each wheel
And spindle, forge and mart of trade,
It's voice lift up in gladstone song
Perpetual in its harmony
Fit music for the when each
Is owner of his home and plenty smiles,
Inviting, from each open door,

otherwise: when good homes are offered we must

A Lesson in Arithmetic.

Pittsburg Commercial.
A story is told of German who owned some
land in the oil regions, and who allowed a com
pany to sink we'll on his property, for which
he was TO receive one-eighth of the product if
oil was struck. The we'll was a success, and
each day the Teutonic gentleman would come
down to the place, and every time eight barrels
were filled, one would be rolled aside for him.
This arrangement did not seem to satisfy him,
and he informed the company that thereafter he
would want onetwelfth. This was readily ac-
coded to, and next morning he was on hand
early to see the result of the new plan. AS he
watched the men roll aside but one barrel out of
twelve his establishment knew no bounds. and,
turning to the chief operator, he exclaimed:

Has the Heart Disease.

But yesterday the world was bright,
The slSy wond'rous azure blue;
To-day, the shades of mournful night
Seem everywhere to iIleeet my view.
Trust dies when once we trust in W. H.
And hope is killed by sorrows pain,
And love will never live again
When once heart by heart is slain.
To every day there comes night
Hope followed by quick despair;
The heart lies stricken in the fight,
The soul to lift itself in prayer.

Thy children do not only live
BY bread which human hands do make.
Oh, for Thy Sons beloved sake
Because | name his name to Thee,
Grant Thou my prayer in charity!
And yet-Thou knowest best for me.
If, by my spirits agony

Thy heavenly peace, thy joy gain
If in this moments misery

A prayer that cannot be denied

That blessing which my heart doth crave;
Rather this sorrow hard to bear,
So thy suffering crown may share.

An Artistic Toilet.

New York Evening Post.
Nothing could have been more appropriate
than Lady Washington geranium blossoms
worn recently with an evening toilet of pale pink
surah, with vest panels and skirt-foot trim
mings of dark wine velvet The petals of the
blossoms matched the exquisite pink shade of
the surah, and the hearts of the geranums
were the exact deep rich tone of the velvet
adornings The hose worn with the dress were
of delicate flesh color, and the sandals Of dark
wine-colored kid were embroidered on
the toes with ruby beads. The pink
silk gloves reached nearly to the shout
ders showing about three inches of a
round white arm, above which fell single
slightly gathered frill of pink Spanish lace. The
fan was very large transparent one of pink
Grape depending from long loop of ruby velvet
ribbon. This fan, by the way, had all the effect
of the extremely high priced hand painted Grape
fans formerly within the reach of only the very
wealthy people able to spend hundreds upon ele-
CANT trihes of the toilet. The one carried in this
instance was as fral and delicate in construction
as the very costly varieties, but by new pro-
cess of color printing which gives an effect very
similar to the original hand painted ones, and
likely to wholly deceive any but an expert these
fans can be had at very modest cost. while
their dressy and airy effect is substantially the
same as the high priced ones
