The Tyranny of Dress-makers.

A prominent woman of this city de-
clares that she is ready to organize a
society for the protection of women
from the tyranny of dress-makers.
"Just think of it, she exclaims, lin
the great majority Of cases we can't
have dress made as we want it for
love or money. The dress-maker
scornfully ignores our desires, and
makes it to suit herself. I won't
make your gown that way said my
dress-maker the other day in answer
to suggestion Of mine. 1T is not
the style now.' But protested, it
is the most becoming style for me-
No difference replied the autocrat,
4 know best how it should be made. },
Now, if a man should 60 to his tailor
and order suit to be made in the
Continental style. it would be made
so, no matter what the tailor privately
thought of his customers taste. But
the dress-maker treats her customer
RS a child and ignores her wishes en-
tirely. Then, too, a dress maker will
solemnly promise to make costume
for certain price, and in three cases
out of five will calmly charge one
third more. 1t is high time for wom-
en- to kick against this tyranny and
teach dress-makers to do business in
businesslike way."-N. Y. Tribune.

a BUILDERS PROBLEM.
A Suggestion for Raising Heavy Blocks
of Stone.


At one Of the meetings Of the British
Association paper was read on plan
of raising large stones for the purpose
of building huge masses OF masonry,
and which was supposed to be the
means employed in building the pyra-
mids, although the precise method
adopted by the mighty builders Of the
valley Of the Nile was admitted to be
a vexed question. The supposition is
that the lifting power was applied
from below, the stone being raised by
fitting process. One end OF the
stone would first of all be raised from
the ground by means of power
full levers, which might be
Of considerable length and worked
bv a large number Of men.
After getting the stone to the proper
height, a slab of stone or metal could
be inserted, and similar process
adopted with the other end of the
stone. So, by alternately working at
either end, a certain height might be
attained. Then, by the use Of wedges
and rollers, the stone might be got
into position. Another method sug-
gested was by means o. slightly in
cliued planes formed of STRONG timber
work or even masonry, working the
stones up on rollers by leverage ap-
piled behind. There does not seem to
be any suggestion of any dinect. lifting
power applied from above. The ques-
ton is certainly one involved in con.
siderable obscurity. Pitts ourgh Dis,

Early Americans.

Simplicitv in their mode of living was the
marked characteristic of the early settlers
of America
Every thing which pertained to them was
plain and unostentatious.
The food which they ate was frugally
served and OF the substantial kind.
Their clothing was home-spun and the
moccasins which covered their feet were
home product, being made from the hide OF
animals and ornamented with beads after
the Indian fashion.
Their homes were simplicity itself, con-
sisting of roughly hewn logs and home made
shingies--the whole constituting the old
Log-Cabin home of frontier life.
Yet those were model homes.
The wives and mothers were well versed
in the art of all that pertained to house
wifery.
Conspicuous in the early home was the
striking figure of the old grandmother.
Not only was she the adviser in social af-
fairs but she was the medical adviser and
prescriber for the. sick. Often were her
hands engaged in the preparation OF some
healing potion or remedy for the relief OF
those In ill-health. Fully versed in all the
bountiful supplies contained in the grand
store-house of Nature, she wisely knew how
to utlllZ6 UHe CufdulV6 pTOp0EGloS COnooAhCo
in certain roots and herbs ard accordingly
she transformed them into certain remedial
agents, which have made the old Log Cabin
famous for all time to come.
Conscious of the great value of some OF
those old time home cures successful ef-
fort has been made to re-discover the lost
secret of their preparation, and, coupled
| with all the improvement which human in
genuity and progress suggests, they are
now widely known under the name of War-
ner's Log Cabin Remedies, the most promi
nent being Log Cabin sarsaparilla and Log
Cabin cough and consumption cure.
The suffering public has been quick to
recognize and appreciate theif true value
and the manufacturers are daily in receipt
Of much praise for the re-discovery and re-
vival Of these old time remedies against
| sickness and disease.
To the old Log Cabin home, however, IS
Justly due the praise for all the good which
may, thereby, be effected.

Asphalt for Paving Purposes.

The system of asphalt paving intro
duced so extensively in Paris has
proved, it would seem, admirably
adapted for the great driving streets,
but not SO well for those subjected to
heavy business traffic, and among the
advantages principally attributed to it
are those of homogeneity of material,
noiselessness, perfect surface drainage
and the readiness with which the
roadway can be repaired; that is, as
suming that the asphalt material is OF
good quality, instead of the unreliable
compositions consisting of crude min.
eral tar or manufactured tar mixed
with pulverized minerals of earth. In
all reliable asphalt pavements the
asphaltum rock is heated to 200 or 212
degrees, is compress ed while hot, and
when cool assumes all the essential
qualities OF the original rock, 1t
appears that SO satisfactory has this
kind OF improved pavement proved in
Berlin that Already some 600, 900
square metres of roads and streets are
now covered with it, it's firmness OF
wear as we'll as all other qualities.

How Bears Trap Salmon.

Many mountain streams abound in
trout. The higher up one goes the
more fish there seem to be, they
mounting falls of several feet high in
their ambitious progress towards the
source Of the waters supply. The
salmon, the cousin of the trout, is ia.
nous for its method of going up
stream; it darts at falls ten or twelve
feet high, leaps into the air, and
rushes up the falling water in a mar
yelous manner. So determined are
the salmon to attain the high and safe
waters that in some localities nets are
placed beneath the falls, into which
the fish tumble in their repeated at
tempts to clear the hill of water.
Other than human hunters, however,
profit by these scrambles up hill.
Travellers report that on the banks OF
the upper st. John river, in Canada,
there was once rock in which large
circular well, or pot-hole had been
worn by the action of the water. At
the salmon season this rock proved a
favorite resort for bears; and for a
good reason. Having an especial
taste for salmon, the bears would
watch at the pot-hole, and as the sal
mon, dashing up the fall. were
frequently thrown over into it, the
bears would fish them out without
difficulty. Times.

COURTEOUS MANNERS.
The Intangible Yet Perceptible Trines
That Make the Man a Gentleman.

The Intangible Yet Perceptible TrfheS
That Make the Man a Gentleman.
A keen observer of our young men
can not but be struck with tendency
on the part of a great many of them, at
least, to disregard the small courtesies
of life-the Intangible yet very per-
ceptible little things that make the
man gentleman. Many persons con-
tend that outward manner is a very
secondary consideration if the head is
well stocked with knowledge. and that
II a young man has the faculty to get
on in the world it is matter of very
little Importance if his manners do not
model themselves after Chesterfield.
That this idea is prevalent is proved
by the great number Of well-educated
men-men of ability and power-who,
however, one would never accuse OF
being gentlemen-who, clever and
with no lack of brains, are painfully
deficient in good breeding. With no
intentional lapses, they are awkward,
bumptious, presuming, even vulgar
In most countries an educated man
and gentleman are almost synony-
nous terms. On this side of the At
lantic they by no means always belong
to the same man. Educational advan-
tages are within the reach of all
classes people-people who have the
benefit of no home training for their
manners, or any cultivated persons
among their acquaintances. One
fact is true all the world over,
that where, by some freak of nature,
a man shows himself superior to
his own class in intelligence and tai
ents, he is never content to remain
on the lower stave of the ladder
Many persons assert that the self
made man is always the best. In
point CT ability he proves without
doubt that he has within him that
which has determined his fitness for
the place he has earned for himself.
But because a man by his brains, en-
ergy and pluck carves out his own
fortune, putting himself in prom
inent position, is it not very desirable
also that he should also cultivate the
courtesies of life so that the talent be
not hidden by roughness and uncult-
ured bearing? Because O. man is a
successful lawyer, it does not justify
him to say that he can be his own
tailor, or that ill-ftting clothes, if be-
longing to him and of his own make,
are as suitable as those Of good cut.
So it is with the intellectual giant
who takes no heed of his manners.
He may learn much from less talented
people, who are nevertheless his
superiors in many things. Desirable
az it may be for young men to shun
the extravaganza of the aesthetic, and
to despise the shams of society, they
can not afford to neglect the courtesies
Of life, and they do well who while
devoting their energy to mathematics
and the classics, pay attention to the
cultivation in manners. 1t is while
young that manners are made; the
most strenuous efforts will not remedy
or eradicate in after life the gauch-
cries formed in youth. Toronto
