Law and Low-Cut Dresses.

The low-necked dress is again attracting
public attention. 1t has done so before.
In fact, it generally attracts attention
when it is placed on exhibition together
with charms which it refuses to conceal.
This time, however, it comes up in a new
place, to wit, the Common Pleas Court OF
Philadelphia. \ young woman recently
attempted to startle tho minds of attend
ants OF public ball in the Quaker City by
appearing in the style of dress sanctioned
in Canada by the Princess Louise and at
Washington BY Mrs. John Davis. The
display Of feminine beauties thus made
was declared by one Of the managers to be
immodest, and she was elected from the
assembly. She has responded with a suit
for damages, which is evidently intended
to come very high up on the neck of the
defendant
1t is likely that the suit will puzzle the
Judge before whom it is brought as much
rs the plaintiff Precedents as to how low
Il dress may be cut, and how much of snowy
shoulder and billowy bosom may be sub
.jected to public inspection are wholly
lacking in law books. The edicts in Cana
da have thrown some light on the matter ;
but unfortunately the judgments of the
Canadian Niceregal Court has no weight
in Pennsylvania. The Judge will have to
decide the matter on its own merits. Per-
haps it may be necessary for the plaintiff
to appear in the obnoxious dress in order
to let the Court satisfy itself as to the pro-
priety Of the costume; or perhaps by

which seem especially well adapted. They

which seem especially well adapted. They
give rest and reward. One is good gar
den, the other is a well-kept flock of fowls.
| believe IA good garden, with flowers and
growing vegetables, will almost insure hap
piness indoors and flock of clean,
healthy, cackling fowls will make pleas
ant husband or wife, and happy children.
1t is hard to calculate the value of such
flock
On the other hand, it is not a wonder
there are so many quarreling, Drawing
families, when we consider how many ILL
mated, quarreling and diseased focks of
fowls there are: Some sneezing with the
roup, and rolling to get rid of the million
of mites which infest their quarters; black
hens, dirty white hens, yellow hens, brown
hens, specllled hens; some with top-knots,
some with none; some with tail feathers,
some with none; combs and toes frozen; ;
they roost on the wagon, and lay-if they
lay at all--in the wood-pile; they look
scrawny, dirty and saucy, and seem to hate
themselves
When we see q yard like that, nine cases
in ten the man of the house never calls his
wife by loving, tender names, and the
children speak Of the father as the =" old
man." Is it a wonder that man who has
such flock of fowls goes 10 the insane
asylum?
A young man who does not love choice
fowls is an unsafe person for a girl to wed.

WHY ARE WE R1GHT-HANDED?- The
absence in infants of any marked prefer
ence for either hand has led TO the suppo-
sition that right-handedness is merely
fashion, i'll which all are trained; but
if so, it is very ancient and very nearly
universal fashion. The evidence of all
ages points to it as general among all
races. From the time Of Aristotle philo-
sophical attempts - none entirely salts
factory- have been made to account for
this popularity of mankind Professor
Buchanan, Of Glasgow, has thought il, as
well as the equally old and prevalent
custom Of carrying burdens on the left
shoulder, to he due to lack of symmetry of
the body, Of 4 larger lung and the liver
causing the right side TO be heavier than
the left, and inducing greater muscular
development OF the right limbs Another
theory is founded on the fact that the
braiu is composed of two hemispheres,
whiclrA work the muscles cross-wise,
so that disease or weakness Of II
hemisphere affects the whole oppo-
site side Of the body. Gratiolet and
Broca have found that the lobes of the left
side of the brain are larger than those of
the right, indicating that more nervous en-
ergy is directed to the right side of the
body than to the left This may be the
cause of right-handedness-- It may be an
effect of it.

Poisonous Beans.

1t is not generally known, nor is the fact
stated in the " United States DISPENSE
tory that the castor-oil bean is poisonous
The plant is extensively used for orna-
menting gardens and grounds surrounding
our dwellings. 1t bears large, fan-like
leaves, red stalk, and several clusters of
flowers, which when ripe are transformed
into pods containing the beans. These the
children are apt to appropriate by reason
of their attractive appearance, and occa-
sionallv have been found tasting of them.
Recently we tried them to ascertain what
sort OF savory morsel they were, and
promptly WAS our curiosity satisfied in
heing made very sick thereby. Almost
Immediately dizziness ensUed-to the ex-
tent Of staggering and falling had we not
laid dOwn--with extreme nausea, accom-
panied with paralysis Of the extremities.
These -vmptons lasted nearly six hours,
!ilen gradually disappeared. We had
almost forgotten the Circumstance IN
til n month ago we were called
in sonsultation with II physician 10
investigate the symptoms Of poison in
4 little girl, aged perhaps seven years The
attending physician decided she was suffer
ing from some sort Of poisoning that the
symptoms did not clearly reveal. She
vonlited constantly, had contraction of the
muscles, particularly Of the neck, drawing
the head backward, enlarged abdomen
tympanitesl, diIated pupils, and mcon-
Sciousness. She died the third day. Ex-
animation Of the premises revealed that
the children had been gathering castor
beans from the withered plants in the
front yard. Closer inspection of the beans
exhibited that several OF them had been
nibblcd, showing the imprints Of the child's
teeth At last it was definitely ascertained
that the little one had eaten fragments of
the beans, when the poisoning symptoms
We're fully accounted for. Nowhere is the
poisonous quality of the castor bean re-
ferrcd to. We believe that very few peo-
pie are familiar with its dangerous quail
ties. 1t should DC banished from our yards
and gardens as TOO perilous plant to har.
