THE MATTER OF DRESS.
why Women Who Desire To Ire Respect ed
should Wear Neat Apparel.


Al the present time, when dress
goods in artistic patterns and oXcelcnt
colors can be bought ut compare
lively low price, there is no reason
why every woman in the land should
not be neatly and tastofuily dressed.
While IL Is consurable folly TO sacrifice
the entire time 10 the preparation of
clothes, IL is equal folly 10 ignore tho
importance OF neat, woll-iitting cloth

There Is no excuse for woman, unless
she Is mcrcilcssly ovorburdcncd with

woman with ordinary common sense can
make her own clothes. II Is IA shame

mands OF the world that she shall bo
neatly dressed, and Il is her duty To
make enough sacrifices to secure this
rcsult-a result which may bo readily

girl.
There are several reasons why wom-
EN- who desire the respect Of the world
remain shabby. and one OF the most
common of these Is the attempt 10
wear too fine clothes; another, the at-
tempt TO keep ON hand too many
dresses. Either Is serious mistake.
A woman may be dressed In exquisite

Problem for the Psychical People

A lady who lives in Dorchester, and
whose little girl is pupil in one OF tho
schools there, bethought herself the other
day, all at once, of the danger that her
daughter ran on a suburban street from
the possible presence of cows. That re-
minded her that she was making a red
dress for the little girl, and she began to
think about the additional danger that q
red dress might subject the child to from
those same terrible cowsl With the whole
she had quite little worry.
The afternoon went on, and the little
girl did not return from school at the
usual hour Where could she be9 The
mother worried not a little, but finally the
child came up, quite late.
Where have you been all this time, my
dear?" the mother asked
"Oh. there have been some cows on tho
street, mamma" said the little girl, ''and
the teacher thought about them, and she
thought it wasn't best to let me come
home until there was somebody to come
with me.
Whether the mothers thinking about
cows made the teacher think about them,
or whether the teachers thinking about
them made the mother think about them,
or whether both women thought about
them because women are always more or
less terrified about cows, is something
that probably no psychical fellow will
ever find out.-Boston Transcript Lis

There are today in the five states (of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis
consin) more than 80, 900 schoolhouses in
which schools are maintained from three
to ten months every year. The value Of
these buildings, with the grounds, is con-
siderably over $50, 600, 900, which is more
than one-half that of all other public
school property in the Union. Nearly
1900, 900 of children annually receive in
struction in the public schools; while
more than 5000 teachers, a large num-
Der of whom have been trained especially
for their work, are employed as their in
structors. The total amount expended
each year for the support of these schools
somewhat exceeds $32, 900, 900, or more
than eight dollars for each child of school
age within the states. AS to the charac-
ter of the instruction given. it is sufficient
to say that it is nowhere excelled. James
Baldwin in Scribner's Magazine.

perlments would be worthless without
experiments on living animals 1t now
begins to be admitted that resistance to
vivisection Is as futile and wrong as it
was to dissection of dead human bodies
hundreds of years ago. And yet there is
enough unscientifc sentimentalism yet
existing to retard progress by means of
vivisection. Hence Pasteur's appeal to
Americans in behalf of science. which he
concludes with the pregnant question.
WHO shall say that man must sacrifice
the good of his kind because of the possible
gain to an infnitesimal portion of a lower
racer" Just such appeals were once made
in favor of ordinary Chicago
