THE WEARING OF TIGHTS

Discomfort and Ill Health Attend

Silks,
Boston journal: Many young woman
screws up her courage to the point of
going to q manager and asking for an en-
gagement on the stage. But when it
comes to disrobing and for the first time
displaying her shape, modesty comes in
and all ambition to shine on the stage
yanishes. 1t is not simply the chorus
singers of b%urlesgue and comic opera who
wear tights nowadays, but more OF less
every actress ON the stage. Modjeska has
to do it in Rosalind, Just as much as the
humblest member of Mr.. Leavitt's Rentz-
Stanley MINISTRIES. And the same may be
said of Mary Anderson and all our other
legitimate actresses. Even Ellen Terry
had to do it in Viola. Nor does the
wearing of ordinary diesscs-that is to
say stage dresSes-preclude the weaiing
Of tights, though doubtless the vast in
crease in the popularity of comic opera
of late years has increased the eX-
tent OF tight wearing to Il marvellous
degree. IL was n wonderful innovation
in America when the BLACK Crook first
came, and that is only twenty years ago.
But now probably about fifty women are
compelled TO their use where there was
one then.
1t may not be generally known that
the wearing of tights is a decidedly un-
healthy praciice-not from the fact that
means simply bare Limbs, but so far
there has never been any scientific priv
ciple applied To wearing them properly.

said on Friday when She came over from
Philadelphia that she did not believe any
woman who WAS not compelled to wear
tights would do so, 1t involved q large
expenditure of physical force, and she
would be quite willing at any time to
accept SD 4 week less salary if she were
not compelled to wear them. AS an eX-
pert on the question, she added that there
was no doubt whatever that women's
health was injured by this wearing OF
tights. Fortunately for herself she had
not been compelled TO do so for any
length of time, but so far as her obscrva-
lion went women became old before thcil
time by means of these modern requisites
of the stage. She herself had constantly
refused to appear in boys dresses on the
stage, but really, appearing as girls in
bur'esque amounted TO about the same
thing.

king is attended daily by q number Of
women, chosen from all the ranks of

The dishes are borne to the door of the

them over to the women on duty, for
no males are permitted to enter the
royal apartments. His majesty drinks
as a rule a peculiar kind of scented
spirit especially distilled for him, but
occasionally, on the ad ice of the doc

The quantity of rice eaten by his
majesty is always t same; it is

getting on, and to redress their griev-
ances, should they have any. In short,
he appears to be the paragon of q

SoHing or siloing becomes popular
largely in proportion TO the increased
yalue of the land. The saving is in keep,
ing more stock TO the acre, and Keeping ii
in better performing condition: and the
extra cost is in the labor involved in
waiting on the animals. What there is
left, after all expenses are paid, is what
the farmer needs to know. Horace
Greeley used to say that no farmer could
afford to pasture land that was worth $50
per acre. He said that, too, before We
had the light we have now that an acre
of ensilage corn, sliced, is more than a
COW can eat in u year. = Hoard
