Mr.. and Mrs. II. HI. Haines, of Rising
7 Sun. were on the City of Paris this week
| when she broke the record of ocean steam
sell Harrison and Alfred Carnagie. The
| New York correspondent of the Philadel-
| phia Ledger gives the following account of
the voyage: "When the Inman liner City
Of Paris left Queenstown last week the best
record for a westward voyage was days,
| 90 hours and minutes. This was her own
record. and when it was made and the time
for the trip from Queenstown to New York
| was reduced below six days there was gen
eral rejoicing among ocean travellers. 1t
was prophesied then that the swift steamer
would make even better time. This proph-
ecy has been fulfilled, tor the city of Paris
in the trip ending his morning lowered the
record by hours and 40 minutes, accom-
plishing the voyage in the remar able time
of days, 10 hours and Is minutes. And,
to make this record the more wonderful, il
was achieved with two of the i've days un.
favorable for swift sailing. The first days
run was made against a strong northwest
Wlnu anu WAS Ouly LnilcS, anu JD6 sec
ond day a head swell and variable winds
somewhat retarded the vessels grogress al
though 492 miles were made. The three fol
lowing days runs were 5O2, 5O6 and so!
miles respectfully. and they show that, with
favorable conditions throughout a Who'll,
voyage the City of Paris could make tn,
trip in about 5 days and l6 hours. The dis
lance covered was 278S miles. and the aver
age run during the whole was, therefore
almost exactly 20 miles an hour, or at
three minute a mile gait. In the voyag
/ when the first record was made, 1856 mile
t were sailed, so the speed did not vary great.
. on the two trips, in both of which, durinI
, three successive days, over 500 mile wer

IN.MALE ATTIRE.

 Famous Women Who Have DoHed
 PettIcoass Because They Preferred
 Trousers.
 [From the Philadelphia Press.l
 The subject of woman donning male attire in order to follow their lovers incognito to wars or other dangerous perils has been 8 favorite one with the poets from the early ballad singers to Mrs Browning, in the "Ro- maunt of the Page" and the Swedish Tegner, in his beautiful story of "Axel." But in mod ern times women have less romantic reasons for the change of costume. Like George Sand they may do it in spirit of adventure; like Rosa Bonheur and our own Dr. Mary Walker, because they find it more comforta- ble. or like the hundreds of cases which are constantly being noted by the newspa- pers, because they find that an apparent change of sex enables them to make better living. Rosa Bonheur wears trousers when at work, but resumes her female attire in the evening. She wears not only trousers, but q full male outfit, including the French labor ers blue smock and cap, when she goes to fairs to make studies for her cattle or wan ders about the fields unaccompanied. The garb relieves her of the trouble of bundlinG up skirts when she carries painting imple- ments, and also conceals her sex from the rough men she is liable to meet. Louisa Lawton, the sculptress. also finds it convenient to wear trousers and coat when at work. Sa- rah Bernhardt, in her studio, assumes black velvet suit of clothes, in which she is con. scious she looks very charming. Mime. Dieu lafoy, the French explorer and scientist, who has done so much to increase our knowledge of Persian archaeology, also looks much more coquettish and winsome in the costume sht adopted while journeying in strange landl l. s11- ~I-~ ~{0 Indeed, even in Paris, her only return to fem. mine costume is in the substitution of skirts for trousers. The coat and vest, the shirt, collars and cuffs are retained.

\ New Method of Treating Disease.
 HOSPITAL REMEDIES.


 What are theya There is new depart ure in the treatment of disease. It consists in the collection of the specifies used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance, the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was ob- tained and prepared. The treatment of other physicians, celebrated for curing ca. tarrh, was procured, and 30 on till these in comparable cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness. rheuma- tism and nervous debility.
 This new method of tone remedy for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experi- enced the ill effects, and thoroughly realize the absurdity of the claims of Patent Medi- cines which are guaranteed to cure every i'll out of single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruined moro stomachs than alcohol.

 PARIS, Dec. 26.-The epidemic has assumed graver type, and many cases are now com plicated with pneumonia. In consequence of the constantly increasing crowd at the hospitals the authorities are erecting tents for the sufferers. The undertakers are over worked, and many of their employees are down. In consequence of the increase of the number of funerals the system of draping the churches with enormous hangings of black and the expensive parade of various emblems of woe has been dispensed with by authority. The official return of deaths for the week gives 200 more deaths than for the preceding week.
