The Mems Rights Society.

The organization of the Boston
"Men's Rights Society" is the first
step toward the emancipation ofman.
For generations false public senti-
ment has deprived men of skirts and
compelled them to wear that badge
of servitude, trousers. So long as
men can be made to wear trousers
they will continue to be the abject
sex. The physical deterioration Of
civilized man, which has been be-
walled by all thoughtful persons
and attributed to a variety of causes
not one of which has really had
anything to do with the matter, is
the result of wearing trousers. Ii
man is to rival the robust British
matron or the sinewey New-England
schoolmistress he must be permitted
to wear skirts, and the Boston "Men's
Rights Society" is formed to begin
an agitation in behalf of mans
emancipation from trc:sers, the
triumph of which, though ii may be
long delayed, is morally certain.
Trousers are entirely incompatible
with health. They afford the male
legs no adequate protection from the
elements. A woman when driving
in carriage on a cold day, can fold
her skirts about her in way to great
ly increase the warmth of her person,
but man has 10 way Of folding his
trousers so as to increase their pro-
tectivc powers. In rainy weather,
mans waterproof coat and umbrel-
la afford him no protection below
the knees. The rain drives against
the lower part of his trousers and
renders them thoroughly wet, and,
as they fit closely to his person, wet
trousers naturally chill the wearer.
The result especially when man is
compelled to wear wet trousers for
several hours is frequently illness of
a more or less serious character. A
woman on the contrary, finds her
skirts an admirable protection
against rain. She wears three OF
four skirts at the same time; and,
owing to the shape Of "dress i'm
provers" and other like devices
which she wears under her skirts,
the latter do not habitually touch her
ankles. Thus the wetting of one or
two skirts does not produce any
sensation ofdampness in the region
of the stockings, and the "-rearer is
not subjected to the danger of taking
cold. Moreover, woman whose
outer skirts are damp can always
turn them up and dry them with the
aid of a CRATE fire, process which
cannot be applied to trousers. II
our women would only try to walk
in wet weather with no protection
for their ankles except ordinary
trousers, they would wonder how
men have ever been willing to wear
such useless and dangerous gar
ments.
In muddy weather trousers become
not only dangerous to health but
revolving to persons with amy sense
OF decency. The mud not only
sprinkles the exterior of the trousers,
but it plasters the interior of them
10 the height ofat least three inches
from the top Of the leg. A woman
in muddy weather can lift up her
skirts and keep them out of the mud,
but no man can lift up his trousers
The only thing he can do is to turn

Systematic Saving.

With the bulk of our people, the saving
of small amounts in some regular sys-
tematic way. opens the only possibility of
attaining a competency or little sum for
a rainy day. Some one has said it is the
first $50, 900 on the way to fortune that
means hard work and pinching economy.
After that all is easy. And it is so /;
whether we gain fortune or not, the start
always involves small and sharp economy.
Where this is practiced it often becomes
the basis of after prosperity. But where
this does not follow it provides for the
emergencies that are sure to come to all.
There are ways of saving which can be
adopted. and which, once entered on, be-
come habitual and easy.
Ofcourse, the beginning OF all saving is
to live within our means. If we have
debts to offset our savings, we do not save
at all. Hence, forecast as to the use
of our income, so that it shall come
within our range, is first And when 1t
is determined how much to save, the most
rigid discipline is necessary to keep 1t up.
There are always, in a family, special de-
mands, covering things pleasant to have
and which, if acceded to, will easily eat
up the margin we had set apart for saw
ings. The rigid control of our wants is,
therefore, first element in a course of
saving. This may involve privation. at
least for time. but this is a necessity if
we propose to save at all. 1t is easy to
persuade ourselves that certain gratifica-
tons are necessities, which may not be so
at all Hence, irmness, even to rigidity,
is first element in saving. And once
begun, unless unforeseen and imperative
requirements are made, we should not
swerve from our plans.
A dollar week saved and placed in a
savings bank will aggregate $52 year.
Let us suppose per cent is obtained for
it. At the end of the second year it ag-
gregates over $l06. In twenty years it
will amount to over $500. Five dollars
week saved and placed at interest will
speedily buy a home.
Many devices have been provided to
stimulate saving. Building loans. savings
banks. life insurance, and MANY other
things Any are good. if reliable and
sound. It's the Encouragement resulting
from the loss of savings, which has done
so much damage in this country. But
when our moneys are placed in sound in
stitutions, loss rarely follows. And where
the habit of saving is established it affects
the life, inducing regularity and order in

Frozen Kindness.

The world is full of kindness that never
was spoken, and that is not much better
than no kindness at all. The fuel in the
stove makes the room warm. but there are
great piles of fallen trees lying on rocks
and on tops OF hills where nobody can gel
them; these do not make anybody warm
You might freeze to death for want OF
wood in plain sight Of these fallen trees if
you had no means of getting the wood
home and making fire of it. Just so in
the family; love is what makes the
parents and children, the brothers and
sisters happy. But If they take care never
to say word about it; if they keep it a
profound secret as if it were crime, they
will not be much happier than if there
was not any love among Them the house
will seem cool even in summer, and if you
live there you will envy the dog when any
one calls him poor fellow.
