r using rea-colored undergarments

for using red-colored undergarments in
preference to brown white. 1t is not irrita-
ton of the skin that Is wanted when we put on
underclothlng, but protection from cold and
sudden vicissitudes of temperature. When it is
necessary to irrtate the skin it is better to make
use of a mustard plaster or blister and not to
divert the clothing from its proper objects. I'm
derclothing should be made of white material.
theoretically, black would be preferable for
winter use, as it is better non-conductor of heat
and better absorber of moisture than any other
color, other things being equal; but it would
probably be difficult to get people to clothe them
selves IN clothing of this color or to find the
necessary articles in the shops.
It's the fashion now to have all the under
clothing made of the knit material called ''stock
met, but arm quite sure that flannel shirts and
drawers, such as our ancestors used, are prefer
able for winter use and mixture of wool and
cotton for summer. The chief objection to stock
met is that the garments made of it fit too close
to the skin to be comfortable or TO fulfill all the
objects to be obtained from underclothing
When. however, the garments are made out of
piece goods. and expressly for the person who is
to wear them, they cannot be so formed as to
embrace the body as tightly as though they
were made of India-rubber. Strata of air. there
fore. are formed at various points, and these
help to retain the heat. If stockinet be used,
the articles made of it should be large and roomy,
and should not, therefore fit close to the skin.

The Mugwump's Lament.

A mugwump who sat on fence of his own
Sang Willow tit-willow, tit-willow!"
Said Democrat. why do you sit there alone.
Singing Willow, tit-wlow, tit-willow?
Has anything crawled in your bosom and died?
Why can't you hop off upon this or that side?'
But sadly the poor little mugwump replied,
'Oh. willow, tit-willow, tit-wilowl"
He slapped his weak breast as he still with cough
Sang Willow, titwillow tt-willow!
That's what they all tell me, Why don't you come of
With your willow, tit-willow, tit-wow?
But fear that can't sing livelier song,
For everything seems to have gone very wrong,
And perhaps for this world am not very long;
Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-wllow!"
It's sorrow that makes you" the Democrat said
Sing Willow, tit-wllow, tit-willow'
You wish that you were you ought to be. dead.
With your Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow.'"
Then snlveled the mugwump as softly he cried,
And said, I've lost everything, even my pride,
And now they won't have me on this or that side;
Oh, willow, titwinow, titwillow!"

in the annual cane rush. an unparalleled ex-
plot, and it has just leaked out that their third
year in the university is to prove as I'M
fortunate as the previous ones Certain facts
came to light this morning which seem to show
conclusively that party of Comedians repre-
senting for the most part the class of 49, were
rather roughly handled while attending party
the other evening at the Bevidge mansion, in
Newfeld. Several young Newfelders who, it
seems, must have disliked the idea of having the
Comedians usurp their rights in the affections of
the fair ones managed to spirit away the car
riages in which they had driven to Newfeld. and
taking them to field near by, the wheels were
taken off and roped to the tops of as many
different trees. Then the horses disappeared,
and, after several hours of search, one was
found in diapidated cow shed Oh an adjoining
farm
Upon the whole, Cornell! put in busy night,
and the result is that the next party at the
Bevidge mansion will probably not have a repre-

Divorces OF the World.

The. following particulars as to the
methods of securing divorces in differ
ent countries are interesting:
Siamese-The first wife NAV be di-
vorced, not sold, as the others NAV be.
She then may claim the first, third and
dfth child, and the alternate childred
are yielded to the husband.
Arctic region-When a man desires a
divorce he leaves the house in anger and
does not return for several DAYS. The
wife understands the hint, packs her
clothes and leaves.
Tartar-The husband may put away
his partner and seek another when II
D,eases him, and the wife NAV do the
came. If she be ill-treated she complains
to the magistrate, who, attended by the
principal people, accompanies her 10 the
house and ~pronounces a formal divorce.
Chinese-Divorces are allowed in all
cases of criminality, mutual dislikes.
jealousy, incompatibility of temper. or
too much loquacitv on the part Of the
wife. The husband cannot sell his wife
until she leaves him and becomes a slave
to him by action of the law for de>er-
ton. A son is bound to divorce his wife
if she displeases his parents.
Javans-If the wife be dissatisfied she
can obtain a divorce by paying a certain
sum.
Observation-Disclosures are seldom al
lowed unless with the consent of both
parties-neither of whom can afterward
re-marry.
the mother of a boy, she NAV be dl-
vorced with the consent of the tribe, and
she can marry again.
Abvssinians-No form of marriage is
necessary. The connection may be dis
solved and renewed as often as the par
ties think proper.
Siberians-If the man be dissatisfied
with the most trifing acts of his wife,
he tears her cap or veil from her head,
and this constitutes a divorce.
Coreans-The husband can divorce his
wife. and leave her the charge of main.
tanning the children; if she proves I'm.
faithful he can put her to death.
Druse and Turkoman-Among these
people, if a wife asks her husbands per
