These figures are In many lnstanc-
es. inclusive. as for instance, in the
case of reception, evening, and black
silk dress, but they do not provide
for dressmaking, except such as can
be obtained by the day, at home.
The sum total is $312.50. This
does not include furs, shoes, hats,
hosiery, underwear. cotton dresses,
car fare, stationery, caramels, nor
postage stamps, all of which would
easily bring it up to 5000 per an
mum. But some saving would be
effected in important articles, such
as cloak and best dresses, which do
not need renewing every season, but
this would be absorbed in gifts for
Christmas. books and charities.
On the whole it may be safely de-
termined that woman, however
economical, cannot dress well in
New York city under $500 per year;
and this of course, is on the suppo-
sition that she goes to quiet place
in the summer, and does not need a
summer outfit, only couple of cot
tons, and perhaps a flannel suit,
which are part Of the array of
contingents, and do ndt count.

COUNTING NOSES IN THE n.
Y. PROHIBITION CONVEN-
TION.
n. Y. Evening Post.

Some very interesting revelations
of the party sources of the Prohibi-
tion strength were made in the con-
vention at Syracuse. All delegates
who had formerly been Democrats
were asked to stand up, and l34
arose. Then all who were formerly
Republicans were asked to stand,
and about 500 arose. OF lifelong
Prohibitionists there were only for
ty-three These figures show that
seven out of every eight Prohibition
votes cast are drawn from the X. I:
publican party. This is the reason
why the Democrats view the move
ment with such complacency. Aa-
other revelation, equally instructive
and equally omiuous for the Repub-
licans, was made when clergymen
and other representatives of the
churches of the State were called
up. OF clergymen there were nine
ty.five, and when church officers and
Sunday school superintendent were
asked to stand nearly the whole
body of the convention arose. Here.
is source Of power, especially in
the rural communities of the State,
which it is difficult to overestimate.
The fact that the Sunday schools
and churches are deserting the Re-
publican party as the representa-
tive of moral ideas is not the least
significant of the many signs of the
disintegration of that party. The
ticket nominated is well adapted to
command the support of this ele-
ment, for it is headed by a clergy
man, and composed entirely OF men
of high character.

"EDITOR'S BACK STAIRS"
The Interesting Views Of the Late DR.. ].
G. Harland.

The columns Of the newspapers
appear to be flooded with proprie-
tary medicine advertisements. AS
we cast our eye over them, it brings
to mind an article that was publish
ed by the late DR.. Holland in Serb
aer's Monthly. He says: "Never-
theless, it is a fact that many OF
the best proprietary medicines Of
the day were more successful than
many physicians, and most of them,
it should be remembered, were at
first discovered or used in actual
medical practice. When, however,
any shrewd person, knowing their
virtue, and foreseeing their popular
ity. secures and advertises them,
then, in the opinion of the bigoted,
all virtue went out of them"
Is not this absurd
This great man appreciated the
real merits of popular remedies, and
the absurdity of those that derided
them because public attention was
called to the article and the evil
dence of their cures. If the most
noted physician should announce
that he had made study OF
any certain organ or disease OF the
body. or make his sign larger than
the code size, though he may have
practiced medicine and been lead
er in all medical counsels, notwith-
standing all this, if he should pre-
sumo to advertise and decline to
give his discovery to the public, he
would be pronounced quack and a
humbug, although he may have
spent his entire lite and all his
available funds in perfecting his in
vestigations.
Again we say, absurd"
If an ulcer is found upon ones
arm, and is cured by some dear soul
of a grandmother, outside Of the
code, it will be pronounced by the
medical profession an ulcer of little
Importance. But if treated under
the code, causing sleepless nights
for a month, with the scientific
treatment, viz, plasters, washing
dosing with morphine. arsenic and
other vile substances. given to pre-;
vent blood poisoning or deaden pain
and yet the ulcer becomes malig
! nant, and amputation is made nee

esssry at last, to save life, yet all
done according 10 the "isms" of the
medical code, this is much more
gratifying to the medical profession,
and adds more dignity to that dis
tinguished order than to be cured
by the dear old grandmother's rem
edy.
This appears like a severe ar
raignment, yet we believe that it ex-
presses the true standing ofthe med
ical profession in regard to remedies
discovered outside Of their special
sisms." One of the most perplex-
ing things of the day is the popu-
larity ofcertain remedies, especially
Warmers safe cure, which we find
for sale everywhere. Thephysician
Of the highest standing is ready to
concede it's merits and sustain the
theories the proprietors have made
that is, that it benefits in most of
the ailments of the human system
because it assists in putting the kid
neys in proper condition, thereby
aiding in throwing off the impuri-
ties of the blood, while others with
less honesty and experience deride,
and are willing to see their patient
die scientifically, and according to
the code, rather than have him cured
by this great remedy.
Yet we notice that the popularity
of the medicine continues to grow
year by year. The discoverer cones
boldly before the people with its
merits, and proclaims them. from
door to door in our opinion much
more honorably than the physician
who, perchance, may secure pa
tient from some catastrophe, and is
permitted to set bone of an arm or
finger which he does with great
dignity, yet very soon after takes
the liberty to climb the editors back
stairs at 2 o'clock in the morningto
have it announced in the morning.

company. Servant girls would slip
a hoop over their heads and drop it
upon two nails, one on either side OF
them, and 60 TO the street pump.
When the pals were filed they
would use the hoop again and walk
back home very nicely, the hoops
keeping the pals from interfering
with their locomotion and the water
from dripping upon their skirts.
-
Ice was overabundant in those
days, easily procurable, and pure as
could be wished for. But nobody
thought of gathering it for Sum
mer use. Butter was bought by the
pound or half pound in hot weather
and the grocer, after putting it upon
the plate, would press it with a
stamp that left as an imprint an
acorn and oak leaves, or beehive,
or, perhaps, spread eagle. Taken
home by the maid she would put it
in pail CT cold pump water, and
that would keep it from melting till
tea was ready.
Burning wood naturally filed the
chimneys with SCOT, and became me-
cessary that they should be cleaned
occasionally. This gave lucrative
employment to sweepers-masters
and boys. In 1888 licenses to 40
colored men, as bosses. were issued,
each employer engaging two boys.
There was one general patentee of
patent brooms who received royal
ty for the use of his invention. The
tariff of prices was l2t cents for the
upper floor of house. Next floor
below Is cents. Next below 1S cts.
Next below that 81 cents, and so on
to % and 37a cents. Where a
Franklin stove, coal CRATE, or jack
was used in any fireplace l2t cents
extra was charged. There are plenty
of old New Yorkers still living who
clearly remember the custom still
prevailing in those good old days OF
the little negro boys who announced
their successful climbs by singing
in a peculiarly shrill KEY. 20, ack,
@, ack OF so soon as their sooty
caps peeped above the chimney
tops. Old blankets were fastened
over the open fireplaces and not re-
moved until the master sweep had
gathered the SCOT into close bags
and had taken them away. If a
housewife was so neglectful Of her
duty as to let the SCOT accumulate
in the chimney, and it took fire, a
heavy fine was the result, so that
the master sweeps had but to make
vocal proclamation Of Sweep, ho9
in the streets to make the women
folks consider.
The men of those times are all
gone, and "the places that knew
them once shall know them again no
more forever" and it seems fitting
that gray beard of the now should
tell of the familiar doiugs of the
then, as so years hence the story of
to-day many be told by some rem
iniscent writer who is perhaps now
being taught the rudiments in a
public primary school Of this mar
velous, ever-changing metropolis.

AN OLD MAN TELLS OF THE
PAST.
\. Y. Times, December 25.

Fifty years ago wood yards were
numerous. The idea Of serving
houses with kindiing or other cut
wood never suggested itself to any
body. When load of pine or hick-
ory was ordered the yard sent a
SAWYER to do the cutting, splitting,
and sspiling, and very often the man
of house saved shilling or two and
developed his muscle by doing the
work himself. The sign board of
one of the yards offered for sale
quite variety of woods. Hickory,
pignut, chestnut, oak, white oak,
red oak, yellow oak, white ash, black
birch, white birch, rock maple.
white maple, yellow pine. pitch pine,
and white pine were familiar kinds.
The hickory ashes were carefully
gathered and saved by the frugal
housewife to sell to sell to the ash
man. who made his appearance in a
neighborhood early every morning
and was as we'll known as the cart.
