HJaidcns eff To-Day.

And yet what an immense contrast there
is between the maidens of today and those
Of the three or four previous generations!
When one dies today of too much study,
twenty died day before yesterday, so to
speak, of too thin slippers. The girls of
to-day have escllewed those slippers, and
with them the i~nfantile short sleeves and
low necks of the old daily wear; their walk.
ing shoes are thick soled as mems broraus;
they used them vigorously, too, for they have
learned that life and health are of more con-
sequence than the admiration of chance men
for q slender foot daintily shod; they do not
allow their skirts to become draSgled about
their ankles, and they would as soon think
of melting pearls III their drinking cups. if
they had them, as of sitting with wet feet,
either being too costly an amusement.
They wear f%1annels, too, at whose thick.
ness their ~grandmothels and great grand
mothers would have shuddered, and without
whose thickness they themselves would 30
shuddering. They battle seven times, not to
say 3G5 times, more frequently and thor
oughly than the departed damsels did; and
they eat what they want, and not what some
male individual. adoring the ethereal. thinks
is about enough for them to eat and remain
delicate. The dear departed ones believed
that pretty pallor and interesting peaked
ness and pipe stem belts were the chief re-
quirenents OF a personal appearance; the
modern girls believe that firm muscle. deep
chests, Tree motion, and ruddy color are the
only wear.-Harper's Bazaar.

The world,a Best Mutton.

The sweetest, tenderest, and most palatable
mutton in The world is that raised in Ireland,
The Irish sheep grow larger than ours. they
feed on better pastures, and their meat is
wholly free from hat strong, "%sleepy'' taste
which makes ours so disagreeablc to many
Wslatea. No American vino has eaten the
mutton served in the Irish hotels will take
any other kind of meat while he stays there.
The English mutton, though better than
ours, is far inferior to tho Irish. American
mutton is sold in the English, Irish and
Scotch markets, but it brings from three to
four pence less a pound than the native pro.
duets, and no one who can afford the latter
will take the former.-Boston Globe.
