Driving Away the Organ Grinders.

Yet in spite of the apparent desolation OF

haunting the street. They play a tune or 50

WOMAN AND HOME.
A PLAN TO ESCAPE THE TYRANNY
OF FASHIONABLE DRESS.

Child-I-OVc Dear to WOmen.Bcforc Dc.
ginning Lawn Tennis - a Suggestion.
With n Foolish wifc-Sunny Rooms.
Things Worth Remembering.
So let us welcome that step of progress
which introduces among men the wearing Of
corsets Let us hope that in time the stuffed
cushions and the steel hoops and the length
and weight of cloth will be added, too. Then
they wIil Sc the absuriity of it, and maybe
the system Will collapse.
Even women who are independent III most
things cannot rebel here. They are bound
hand and foot, and are helpless. And far
from being sign Of freedom, the unendura-
BILE, tailor nIl.ie dress Is only an additional
link In the chain Of bondage.
Really and truly il women are ever to use
their brain, and their bodies successfully they
must bc physically free Blood can never
rise tn the brain through tight laced corset.
Women simply fools to expect it. While
the SEX dress ns nine out of every ten upon
the street do, there will be n woman
statesman, scholar, or inventor. Tho
handful Of really great women the world Inns
seen were untramneled by conventionalities
of dress of other things George Sand
dressed like IA man Joan of Arc was IA stable
maid, with broad shoulders, splendid strong
arms, and shining hair that never knew
erlmplnG PIN. y corset would have been IA
much out of place upon her rs upon an angel
1t Is all very well to talk of higher educa-
ton for But they will never gain it
while the world stands. They will never gain
any intellectual prize worth having as long
as they continue To dress in the present alb
surd and painful fashion. DIR. Richardson,
of London says -. The subject of changing
the whole style Of womens dress is one well
worthy the attention OF social reformers.

OLD JOHN BROWNS PLAN.
What His Son Owen Says Of It-Cause Of
Its Failure.

What His Son Owen Says Of It-C.uss Of
Its Failure.
Los Angeles county, which Is more than
three-fifths the size of the state OF Masachu-
sets, is not only noted for tho variety OF its
products, the healthfulness OF its climate and
the beauty Of its scenery, but it has attracted
numbers OF celebrities, many Of whom have
remained to make it their home. Among
others Los Angeles county has three OF tho chill
dren Of old John Brown as residents. "Old Ossa-
wattOinie" was the father OF twenty children,
and three Of them, Owen, Jason and Ruth,
with Ruth's husband, named Thompson, have
located about twenty five miles from here
was in that part OF the country not long since.
Owen Is a man 62 years of age and has never
married. He is said to resemble his father,
has white hair, small eyes and a grizzly beard
covering all the lower part Of his face. He
dresses slouchy and either affects to be or Is
eccentric. He says he intends To build him
u hut on the summit Of one Of the mountains
where he expects to pass the remainder OF his
days He was with his father at Harper's
Ferry, but escaped with the party that got
away. In conversation he was generally
very communicative.
The apparent folly of the attempt of the
few men whom his father led at Harper's
Ferry to iberate the slaves being referred To,
he said: MY father certainly had no idea Of
being either captured or killed. His plans are
not generally understood If they were his
scheme would not seem foolish. He had
studied that whole region for years most care
fully. He was a thorough mountaineer. and
he had learned all about the Alleghenies.
There he intended to find retreats high up in
the mountains, where ten men were a match
for a thousand Having many of these places,
he would raid a settlement, carry of the ne
groes and retreat to the mountains II pur-
sued, each fort would defend itself to the last,
then retrcatl to the next, and believe that
100000 men could not have overcome him,
once established as he planned He did not
expect to destroy SLAVERY at once by n gen
eral uprising; he sought tn harass it, cripple
tin short, to make slavery SO Improbable
that it would be abandoned He failed at the
beginning by staying too long at Harper's
Ferry. "-California Cor. st. Louis Republi-
