TURERCBL0RIS.

The proceedings of the International Tu- berculosis congress at Paris were very inter- esting and will attract good deal of atten. tion all over the civilized world. The Con- gress dealt with very important subject. How important may be somewhat realized when it is remembered that not less than one-ffth of the population of the world dies from tuberculosis.
 Almost five hundred doctors were present at this Congress from all parts of the world, and they agreed much better than doctors are popularly supposed to agree. For in stance, they agreed that tuberculosis is con- tagious, and that 1t may be trausmitted from men to animals, from animals to nasn. The disease is the same in men, women and cat tle The hereditary nature of the mslady is admitted, but the danger from this cause is thought to be very slight compared to that of contagion. Diseased milk is the most frequent agent, and, with this, meat as food, especially meat underdone. It was an. scrofula, white humors, even peritonitis, are tuberculosis. It comes from sedentary life, confinement, as in military barracks. Pre- disposing cases are found in overwork, men, tai anxiety, insufficient nourishment and in general anything calculated to lower the vitality. It may come by subcutaneous in. oculation or through the organs of digestion and respiration
 As to remedies, the Congress had little to say that is encouraging. There was little talk about palliative and preventive means. It was declared that milk should be well boiled and that meat should be well cooked The best remedy is to be found in fresh air perfectly pure air, away from towns or vii. lages. Spanish doctors alluded to some hope in surgery opening the lungs, removing the intercostal muscles and destroying the dis. eased parts. But the opinion of the Congress seemed to be that the disease is in the blood and beyond surgery.
 All4his Is not very cheering. But it is { good foundation to work upon. A thorough and general understanding of the causes and nature of tubsrcuiosis is. of course, very valuable, and it is long step toward finding a remedy if there is one

How Women Should Dress fOr the

 The uniform insisted upon for women by those who direct gymnastie exercises is the only one appropriate for housework, so far as the undergarments are concerned. Nc skirt suspended from the shoulders is the only formula for 8 comfortable working dress for women that ever has or ever can be given We hear in fancy the exclamation uttered by an overwhelming chorus of femi- nine voices: "No corsets. Giveup our sup portsrsg' and we make no reply save Try it." ,.
 Leaving the matter of underclothing, the outer garments should certainly be made in made in Gabrielle or princess fashion is the most becoming, while for slender forms the uIaiu full skirt attached to a spencer or yoke waist is more desirable. For material, cot ton goods-gingham, seersuckers or calico are the only suitable fabrics for working dresses These can be worn the year round by lining with heavy unbleached muslin for winter, and if necessary adding an extra un- dergarment. In these one can always feel and look tidy. Woolen material has such an affinity for ashes, dust and grease that if worn one must either spend much valuable time and strength brushing and cleaning, or pass for sloven. Gingham and seersucker are preferable to calico. It takes no longer to make them up, and although they cost twice as much they will wear twice as long. The crfnkled seersuckers too require no starching, and but little if any ironing. Me- diupo colors are to be preferred, except per- haps in midwinter.

 The governor of the Danish colony of Greenland receives by the ship which brings him his annual supplies copies of the daily papers of Copenhagen for the year preceding. dates, and then quietly and calmly reads a paper each day, just as though 1t was fresh from the press. He is sometimes strongly tempted to peer into futurity by reading some papers ahead when he comes across interest ing news; but he resists the temptation, no matter how anxious he is to know the fate of some measure. One day's paper for each day is his rule; and so at the end of the year he is thoroughly familiar with the news of the preceding year. He says he is just as happy as though he pulled each days paper of the press.
 The death of General Sheridan, though surprising when it came, was expected by all who knew the nature of the disease. That his life was 50 long preserved is due to the excellent care he has had. His career was a glorious one. His own summary of his achievements is interesting at this time. In his report reviewing the results of his cam paigns from May 5, 1864, to April 9, 1865, he said: We sent to the war department 205 battle flags captured in open field fighting nearly as many as all the armies of the United States combined sent there during the rebellion. The number of field pieces captured in the same period was between 160 and ITO, all in open field fighting. We led the advance of the army on the Will derness; on the Richmond raid we marked out the line of march to the North Anna, where we found it on onr return; we again led it's advance to Hanovertown and then to Cold Harbor; we removed the enemy's cayal- ry from the south side of the Chickahominy by the Treyillian raid ,and thereby materially assisted the arasg in its successful march to the James river and Petersburg, where it re- mained while we made the campaign in the valley; we marched back to Petersburg again, took the advance and led the army to vic- tory In all these operations the percentage of cavalry casualties was as great as that of the infantry, and the question which had ex- isted-sWho ever saw dead cavairymanYe was set at rest.
