Fashion makes woman change her walk
almost as often as it makes her change
the style of doing up her hair. This
was not ever thus. for if you look at
paintings or prints of the long ago, yo u
will see that there was one studied at
tempt of the subject to look queenly;
and the pose of the head alone evidently
was supposed to give that effect.
Then woman walked from her head as
it were. Her spinal column was set as

SAILORS, sUPERsTITIoNs.
The One About a Dead Body Is
the Most Dreaded.

| The One About Dead Body is
the Most Dreaded.
| New York Times.
| 1t is an old sailor superstition that
| ship that carries dead body on board
| is always sure to have trouble before
the cruise is over, and many a time has
this remark been applied by the Il told
you SOS" aboard the Enterprise, that
lately brought ex-Minister Pendleton's
body to this port. ut has never been
the very large majority agree withou
question.
In queer old book now out of date
this question is asked: doth a dead
body in a shippe cause the shippe to
sail slower, and if it doe, what is
thought to be the reason thereof" The
answer given, although not perhaps
quite all one would desire, is cleverly
enough put to admit of repetition:
1.-The shippe is as inSensiDle of the liv-
ing as of the dead, and as the living
makes it goe the faster, so the dead
make it not go the slower, for the dead
are no phemoras to alter the course of
her passage, tho some there be that
think so, and that by kind of mourn
full superstition"
most superstitions on shore add there
is more or less OF shade of probability
about it. Those who favor the idea
claim that if the eerie knowledge of the
immediate neighborhOod OF dead body
weighs upon Jacks spirits by constantly
reminding him of that unpleasant fact
which he likes to forget-that there
only plank between him and eternity
it will surely affect his power of work
and, therefore, "cause the shiDpe to
sail slower" To those who cannot en-
terrain an idea of the superstition there
may possibly be more or less of reasou-
ableneSs in the above idea,
The dead light" is the name given to
the air port shutters, which are always
put in and we'll secured at nightfall and
whenever bad wealth er is expected, and
to the uninitlated the order to put in
the dead lights carries more or less of
the disagreeable it'll it. The story is
told of gent eman coming around
HatteraS when it was blowing half
gale OF wind with considerable sea,
who, upon hearing the order to put in
the dead lights, rushed off to his berth
in fever of repentance and began say
ing his prayers, OF at least what he
thought were his prayers, with such
rapiditv and in so loud voice as to at
tract his neXt-door neighbor, who,
thinking that something must certainly
be the mat ter with his friend, whom he
had never before known to 60 to the
length he had then reached, rushed
into the others room to find out what
it was all about. and was still more
astonished to find that it was not his
prayers but the Greek alphabet he was
repeating. Fear and hurry to prepare
for the next world had proved rather
too much for faithful adherence to
what was taught him III his Sunday
school days. although upon his friends
intrusion he said: 1.-THE ship is going
down, and Pm praying to be saved.

Pretty Girls of ChestnutStreet.

There are more pretty girls on Chest
nut on fine day at this season than
ever were seen in New York. Brooklyn
or Baltimore all together. I exclude
Montreal; it's very name is hallowed to
any one who admires lovely women.
But the Philadelphia girls are astonish-
ingly beautiful. Perhaps they always
were. but they used to be poky and
old-fashioned and afraid to dress
well-the result of the mems mig
gardiness every time, the world
over, wherever women are not max
ing the most of their charms. Now the
fast trains have brought the Quaker
capital to within two hours of New
York, and the old place is stirred and
wide awake. The Ioveliest costumes.
the prettiest bonnets, the most artistic
hair dressing, the very latest walk and
manner now distinguish the ladies.
The paternal purses have been ravaged,
but what of that? We are living in this
world now, and we can't make it too,
beautiful. AS they would say in the
South: philadelphia has at last joined

opportunities of exercising that virtue
with which Job was so wonderfully en-
dowed, there were many Imaginable
incidents which. for the time being,
acted like silver lining to the dark
cloud overhanging the enumerator.
The enumerators who chose the lower
and crowded portions of the city, be-
cause they dreaded the scorn and con-
tumely they feared might greet them in
the aristocratic sections, quickly real
lied that they had made a mistake. A
glance of scorn from a society belle may
not be pleasant, but it does not hurt
like a brickbat on the ear from the hand
of an irate Russian Hebrew. AT least
there is a difference in the general eff
feet. In the better districts the only
two questions that were avoided or
evaded were those relating to insanity

1t is reported from Berlin that the
court tailor in that city is making uni
form for the British Queen Victoria to
wear when she goes to Darmstadt. Vic
toria is, as you know, colonel of one of
the German regiments-a regiment of
so-called dragon guards. The uniform,
or that part which her majesty will as
sumo, is a jacket of bright blue cloth,
with scarlet collar. There are heavy
gold stripes and the queens Monogram,
the same pattern as that now worn by

been asked by one impertinent journal
whether the queen meant to appear in
this gaudy garment and at the same
time wear her melancholy Widows cap.

to be used in the work room. For many
hours they are engaged in stitching
shoes, and in their leisure time they
necessarily become very well acquaint-
ed with the young men who do the
higher class of work in shoe factories
the men who cut out the ''upperS." In
some places the relatives of the persons
employed in such factories become
frightfully practical. Some years ago

enormous sum of $3.50 per week, upon
which amount his parents. according to
their ideas. comfortably lived. AS for
the boy himself, he dined sumptuously
three times each day on rye bread, and
sometimes part OF steak from a quad
ruped which had died a natural death.
The boy was getting an education, but
it was hardly that prescribed by the
public school board.
There are very few boys, however,
in the cotton factories compared to the
older people of the other sex. In some
places whole family is engaged, father,
mother, sons and daughters, and ii such
a display of family work is necessity,
it is very sad necessity. Justice makes
it compulsory to say the fault is not
with the bosses, but with such fathers
as either want to turn their children's
labor into means by which they can
live themselves or who, from some fatal
natural disqualification, are unable to
do for their children what the lion does
for his cubs or the eagle does for its
young.
Still, the young girls are not unhap
Ply. The eXuberance of youth, too pow
erful and natural for any ordinary
power to subdue. makes them cheer
full during the hum of the loom, and the
laughter of happy young lives rings
out above the roar of the machinery.
They are honestly paid for their work,
and the philosopher who came among
them, telling them that woman's true
sphere is home, would be very poor
philosopher indeed, for he could be re-
minded that the home of many a girl is
dependent upon the whirl of the belt
ing and the movement of the spindle.
