SPRING STYLES.


How Gcntismen's Garments Are to lie
Worn This Season.
March marks the transit on period
between winter aud spring styles. 1t
is the period when everybody is anxious
TO be rid of tIeir winter apparel. and
lust trille too soon to put on the
raiment of spring, 1t is a period of
comparathe inactivity in tailors' shops
aud 10 tie ready-ma lie clothiers it
brings no bJoi Of contcntment 1t Is
the dark hour before the dawn-the
hariinger of better things to come for
those engaged i'll the sale of gentle
mems dress goods.
While few of the leading shops and
stores have put in their full line of
spring goods, still sufficient is known to
pretty accurately forecast the styles to
be worn during the coming spring. The
proper thing in colors will be checks,
plaids and grays.
Nothing has yet appeared to usurp
the place of the popular GETAWAYS, and
that style of garment will be as fashion,
able rs ever As t. the number of but
tons taste, differ, but indicat ons point
TO the three buttoned coat as the ore
which will be in greatest demand. The
Norfolk Jacket, with plaits and belt and
double-sliched edges, will be again in
favor. They will be worn largely ut the
seashore. The Norfolk is q very COM
Portable ga ment, and were it not for
the suspicion that it is in some way as
socialed with dudes it would be more
generally worn. Tie sack will be in
great demand as o business coat, and
loud coiors will predominate in lis
makeup.
Trousers will be made liLile wider in
the legs than last year, but, with this eX-
ceptirn, they will not ma erially differ
from last year.
The nochcd collar vest will be almost
exclusively worn.
In the matter Of spring overcoats the
Che .t-rlicld will have the call. Ii is a
ny.tlont sack, reaching almost to the
knee, and will not be made to fit SO
snugly MS last year.
In hats the round-top Derby, witt
curying brim, will be all the rage. The
colors will be black and brown. Tie

texture of the goods, is the sum re

oeu OF grease the delicate petals OF
the odor bearing flowers are scattered
loosely. Then II layer of fat is spread
upon the flowers, aud then more petals,
and so On, until the sieve is filled. 1t

remain in the sieve, but one distllat.on

cold. is mixed with them again, and
the same process repeated. In turn,
some of the second dist llation is run
through the sieve with the flowers,
which are then, indeed, robbed of all
their fragrance. The last two process eS

WALKING.

Professionalism. IL IntelligentIy INDUCED In,
Conduces to Health.
Every healthy person, man or woman.
should be good walker, able at any
time to walk six to twelve miles day
at least and for double that when grad.
ually brought up to it. The points to
be attended to are, to see that the walk
be brisk and vigorous, not OF lettering
or dangling kind; that there be some
object in the walk besides its being q
routine constitutional ii. c., not like
the staid promenade of the orthodox
ladies' school), and if possible in pleas
ant company; that there be no tight
clothing, whether for the feet or the
body, which will constrain or impede
the natural movement Of the limbs and
trunk, and that the walk be taken as far
as possible in the fresh country air. In
regard to this latter particular, al
though towns are increasing so rapidly
out OF them on foot, still we have 20
many suburban tramways and railway
liIes that in few minutes we can lind
ourselves in the country, where the AL
is fresh and pure. Whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself for a little climb
ing in the course of walk, it should be
taken advantage of. We gain variety
of muscular action, as well as increase
the exertion, and we get into regions OF
purer air and fresher breeze at the same
time. What may be considered as the
weak point in walking as a mode OF
exercise is the comparatively small play
which it gives TO the muscles of the
shoulders and chest, while it is still les;
for those of the arm. This should bt
compensated for by the use of ligh,
dumb-bell5 or Indian clubs, or some
other form of exercise which brings il
play the arms and shoulders. One o
the forms of exercise which requires the
action of the muscles of the arms ant
shoulders, as well us those of the trunk
and legs, is swimming. This, however
for many reasons, can not be used as {
means of exercise except by few, ant
at certain Seasons of the year, bu
where possible it should always b.
practiSed. The great pity is that boy
and girls do not learn it, as rulo
while at school. Every large tow
should be well provided with swimmin:
baths, and if it could be made com
pulsory for all scholars at Il certain age
say twelve, to learn to swim; it woulC
be a great advantage to all, and also b,
the means of saving many lives

POSTAL SAYINGS BINES

The State Charities Aid Association, in seek.
ing TO elevate the condition of the poor by the
promotion of thrift, is engaged in good work
1t has become convinced, after thorough in
vesigation, that in no way can that purpose be
better served than by the establishment of
postal savings banks. This conviction is based
upon knowledge derived from personal inter-
course with the poor in all parts of the State.
There is an imperative demand for some gen
eral and thoroughly safe form Of depository for
small savings; and the experience of other
Nations shows that the postal savings bank sys-
tenn meets that want. Hence the association
has set to work to interest kindred societies and
the philanthropic generally III the furtherance
Of this project.
4 The postal savings banks have not only en-
courageG economy aud habits of thrift among
the poor in England, but they have also proved
a direct benefit to the Government. In Canada,
Australia and other British colonies the sys-
tenn has been even more successful than in
the mother country. France, Italy, Russia,
Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan,
and other countries which have adopted this
expedient have pronounced it a great success.
1t is q method OF saving which the poor can
easily understand and turn TO account, and in

THE PARIS COMMUNISTS.

The disturbance at Pere la Chaise appears to
have been quite serious as regards the intllction
of injuries, both tue Communists and the police
and municipal guards having fought with
strange fury. 1t must be exasperating to the
Communists to realize that the Republic is as
hostile to them as the Empire, but it is neVta
Bile that this should be 50, seeing that these i'm
practicable people have for their avowed object
the overthrow of all ordered government.
Since their performances in 1870 indeed 1t has
been deemed necessary to take all Communist
demonstrations seriously; for while the immedl-
ate projectors of any such manifestation may be
few, the lower classes of Paris are dangerously
in1ammable, and it is always possible that
what was intended as bit of bravado may be
converted into a formidable riot The Com
munists probably intended to show the Govern
ment that they still fOurished; but the red flag
cannot be tolerated, representing as 1t notorl-
Ously does. mere land piracy, and sol the DEM
onstrati0n had to be suppressed. The difficulty
experienced in dispensing the mob on this oc-
cason however, may lead to fresh trouble, and
it is by no means impossible that the tuneIa al OF
Victor Hugo may be made the occasion of a new
outbreak, his wel-known sympathy with .he
Commune aflording an excuse for one of those
frepzied and tumutuous exhibitions so dear to
the heart of French revolutionists.
There are at present in Paris many thousands
of unemployed workingmen, who are naturally
inclined TO disorder, and disposed to blame the
Government for their suilerlngs The Com
mune appeals to this class, Offering it tempta-
tions in the shape of pillage; and as the French
worllingmen when once excited are apt to be-
come irresponsible, there is likely to be de-
nand for strong military force when the great
poet is buried. The Commune continues TO be
nucleus around which gather all the elements
of anarchy; and while it might not be a source
of serious apprehension in another country, the
history of France shows plainly the imprudence
of trusting too much to the restraining infiu-
ence of popular common sense in times of excite
ment. Here we should say, Let the Com
munists rave and buster as much as they
