a patent that may dissipate the existing
craze for violins Of ancient and rare de-
sign The inventor thus explains his method:
MY invention consists in mounting upon

thin, plain metal plate raised slightly
above the back on the supports, which con-
meet it only with the back. The plate ID
made about the shape of the back Of the in

plate, which it does not touch"

that will eventually "obliterate all hddlss"

THE WHITE LEGION"
An Organization intoxicating Purity 81
Life, Thought and Speech Among Men.
IDemorest's Monthly

An ORGANIZATION lnculcating furty %
Life, Thought and Speech Among Men.
[Demorest's Monthly
An organization with the above title has
been effected in New York, and will soon
have branches in all the leading cities Of
the country. Its object Il a no lie one, for
it aims to inculcate purity of life thought,
and speech among men. A similar organi-
xation has had beneficial effect on the So
cial life Of England. The White Legion de-
mands of its subscribers that they should
apply the same rules OF coniuct and CONVEX
sation to men that have always been de-
manIed of women. This organization does
not pretend to be religious in its aims, only
liberal. Its object is to create greater rev.
erence for the female sex. 1t would have
all men regard all women as they would
their mothers, their 81 tiers, or their wives.
The White Legion intends, if possible, to
stamp as ungentlemanly and untecoming
loose and indelicate conversation among
men All it asks Of women is that they shall
pass as stern a judgment upon men Whose
lives are immoral as it now does on MEM
bers of their own sex who have disregarded
the higher canons of conduct. OF course it
is easy to ridicule the objects Of a society Of
this kind, but all good men and women
should in every way encourage it Branches
of the White Legion will be established
among the young men in our colleges. Herd
ing together in their dormitories, and away
from the refining influences Of their female
relations, young collegians are apt to be-
come coarse in their conversation and i'm
moral in their conduct. hence they need
some standards of behavior to save them
from giving way to their lower natures.
1t is always well to keep before the young
knowledge Of the dual aspects Of love be-
tween the sexes In one view the appetite is
that experienced by the tiger, the goat, or
the hyena, but this same brute impulse be-
comes. under the manipulation Of human
izing agencies, the inspirer Of all that is
noble in life. The romance, the chivalry,
the self-sacrifice involved in the higher rela-
ton Of the sexes is what makes life endura-
ble and stimulates all the sentiments that
center about the family and the home.
These higher sentiments are q matter Of cul-
tivation, and hence the value Of refined so
ciety, good books, inspiring poetry, re-
igious enthusiasm and influences such as
can be brought to bear by organizations
such as the White Legion.

lover approached. The front door CON-
manded view of the meadow, in
which q COW was feeding, and while Mr..
G. was looking in that direction the
youthful lover, whose heart was over
flowing with emotion, commenced the
task he came to perform.

''She is fine BEAST" remarked the
old gentleman, looking at the COW.

man. II have the honor to be well ac-

made up my mind to shut her up in the
stable and feed her on chop stuff for

man to himself. "What shall l do!
