HOW THEY BATHE.
Manners and Customs Characteristic
 or the Girls of Different Cities.

Manners and Customs Characteristic or the Girls of Different Cities. From the Philadelphia Timesl The New York girl, when she bathes at all, attitudinizes with half of her slightly | clad person out of water, looking for all the world like pretty mermaid The Baltimore beauty plunges boldly in and is generally soon head under water with symmetrical incarnadine hosiery waving high above the waters blue. The New Jersey girl is timid and usually requires pair of stout arms to hold her. If there is no gallant on hand to toss her through the breakers she hugs the rope. The nice Presbyterian girls at Spring Lake like to have somebody "float'' them, and held up by the bathing master or some stout, middle-aged deacon, will lie rigidly on top of the waves with their little noses and toes out of water for quarter of an hour
 The Virginia girls at Old Point and Cape May swim and tumble like dolphins, and love to swim out to the life and, clam bering into it, take long dive, coming up again close to shore.
 The fashionable Philadelphia girl is very particular to have somebody 'fnice' go in with her, and is usually so exclusive that she
 
 one not of her set.
 The troops of children at Sea Girt, with bare arms and legs, paddle and splash in the midday around the ocean fringe and then, held in their nurses arms, after taking one good breaker are carried yelling and kicking to the bath houses.
 The fat girl with figure like life-buoy usually wears suit like an ulster and tries to wait chance when nobody is looking to hurry and scurry into the water.
 The Boston belle prefers to take her ablu- tions in private, but her favorite wrinkle at Mai -agansettt is to lie at the edge of the surf and when it vets her on one side then roll over and get wet on the othey
 The young city bloods and sporting fel- lows generally at Long Branch and elsewhere usually wait until after nine o'clock at night and then dash into the pillows without any toggery whatever. This they call "buck bath.'
 The business men who go to and from the city every day in groups of twos and threes take a short dip immediately after arriving to rinse off the cinders and dust.
 French maids at the seaside hotels as a rule put on an old skirt without stockings and go dropping into the ocean about dusk.

LESS DICTATIoN WANTED.

A 'fcommittee' walked into cigar shop ! in New York Tuesday and said: "All per sons in the employ of this firm who are and | intend to remain Knights of Labor may con tinue at work. All others must give up their employment here and seek it elsewhere. 7" This order meant, we believe, that those to whom it was delivered must abandon their union. A meeting of the workmen was held, and the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, that we deny the right of any or der to dictate to us in any manner whatever
 as to what we shall or shall not do, and es- pecially deny the right to the Knights of La
 Dor to dictate to us."
 We know little about the merits of the
 controversy, but it is cheering and significant
 to find 8 body of workers numbering between
 four hundred and five hundred giving utter
 ance to such a healthy protest in favor of the
 rights of man. They deny the right of any
 order to dictate to them in any manner what ever as to what they shall or shall not do In doing this they take the same course that those workmen who will not join unions do The ''scab," or f'rat," who thinks he has 8 right to earn his living where and how he can is of the same opinion. The "rat" who is satisfied with his wages and his treatment does not recognize the right of any gang of prosecutors calling themselves union to force him out of employment and follow him from Maine to Texas for daring to try to 1 maintain his plain rights. Many business | men also agree with these New York cigar ! makers who do not think anybody has right l to dictate to them what they shall or shall | not do. Many business men are now trying to get their rights recognized The Commit tees,'' as was the case with the New York ''committee, have gone too far. and it has become plain to the business men that un- less they stand up for their rights against l dictation they will be deprived of them and | thrown into state of slavery fatal to the proper and profitable conduct of business. Therefore many have refused to recognize the right of any committee" to dictate to them how they shall manage their business. We hope that these New York working 1 men mean what they say, and that they are willing to accord to others the same rights they claim for themselves. The chief trouble with the labor movement in it's present stage is that it's managers not regardful enough of the rights of employers. Indeed, it seems to have been overlooked in many cases that employers have any rights

ing whirled ronnd the room together, with brier-wood pipes in their mouths, she was scandalized. If the young ladies shared her sentiments they made no resolute protests, remembering perhaps the scarcity of young men elsewhere, and thinking that it is bet. ter to be loved by lawn-tennis suit than not to be loved at all. The daughters of Mrs. Montrose thought they should draw the line on the brier-wood pipe
