Exhibition Bathers.
philadelphia Times.1

The number of exhibition bathers who
hang their clothes on hickory limb, but
don't go near the water, is daily on the
increase, and during walk along the
beach at Atlantic City one can readily
pick out hundreds Of young girls and
even mature danes arrayed in the most
attractive and costly bathing robes who
don't even wet their dainty feet in the
surf, but prefer to gayly trip in groups
along the strand or gracefully recline on
the warm sands.
They, as a rule, wear collars and cuffs,
jaunty little caps, neat slippers, and are
invariably tight laced. They are as care
full of details in DOMINIC this beach cos
tune as if they were dressing for ball,
and certainly appear far more captivat-
ing. These fair and frolicsome visitors
are known as exhibition bathers, but they
don't battle.
A new fad among this particular class
is to go carriage riding in their brief at
tire, and it is familiar sight on the ave-
nues daily to see bevy of pretty girls
clad in handsome surf costumes urging
along weary beach steed, and evident
ly ENJOYING the diversion

The clergy of the Russian church are
divided into two classes, according to
their means of sustenance. One portion
receive their regular salaries, the other
have to work in the fields which the
church apportions to them, and to de-
pend on the gifts and collections from
their Pensioners. The latter are known
as the white" clergy. Now the synod
Is working out plan for putting the
enure clergy on regular salaries and
aoohshlng the system of church collec-

be required annually for the salaries Of

The MId-SteepIe.

Set sqW~ely in the middle of High
street, Dumfries, is one of the oldest
old structures to be found in all Scotland.
1t is now called the Mid-steeple When
built, 200 years ago, it was known as
the Iron Steeple. At that time, on the
sale at auction of the customs and ex-
else of Scotland, the Dumfries town
council took large share in the plum
der, in turn sold it to fellow burgher,
one Sharpe, SO by name and fine in deal
ing. The citizens revolted, and on COM
promise Burgher Sharpe was permitted
to retain his "tack' on payment of co.
600 merks, Scots, with which the out
landish structure was erected. In its
upper uncouthness it contains the town
clock and a peal of bells, and a COM

Excessive uelIness In Soldiers.

Ugnness as disqualifying cause seems
ineligible In candidate for matrimony,
but is certainly less SO when the question
is one of fitness for military service.
This, however, is one on the list of dis
qualifications laid down by the head Of
the medical department. in a manual just
issued on CONSUMPTION in France" Lat
terly the French authorities seem to be
much more liberal in admitting the
claims of men who do not wish to serve.
The reflections are per cent. more nu-
merous than at the previous conscrip-
ton. The French. are looking more to
the quality Of their army than to the
number Of recruits. Excessive ugliness,
says this military doctor, makes man
ridiculous, prevents him from having
authority over his comrades, and leaves
him morbid and sensitive. If the ugli-
ness be adequate the claim must be al
lowed. male hysteria" is another valid
plea. The army doctors say it exists
among French conscripts, and it is the
more Objectionable as it is contagious

dyspepsia. The same would not yield to medical
treatment, growing worse daily for three years,
when his stomach refused all kinds of food. He
then changed his ply sician, who ordered MUIR

able to take for six weeks, which restored his
stomach to action, and in three months he was
able to eat all kinds of common food, and was
able to take his former position and enjoyed good
health until December, 1889, when he had an
attack of La Grippe, which developed into pleIlrsy
fever, from which his life was despared Of Dur
