me BIoomer Dress.

When the spinning and weaving ceased to
be done at home, and were supplanted by
machinery, women were driven to outside
occupations. The dress which 1t had been
possible to wear in the house was found
to be greatly in the way in prosecuting
other avocations. Nevertheless it was
endured, though not without protest. un-
til about forty years ago. At that time
Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, who was editing the
Lily, at Little Falls, n. V, came out in a
dress the skirt of which reached only a lit
tie below the knee. |: was made loose
and light, and was a most sensible and ex-
cellent dress. Trousers, which went to
the ankle, completed the suit. 1t was at
once called the Bloomer dress, AS might
have been expected, a costume so different
from that usually worn by women found
little favor. But, notwithstanding, it be-
gan to be worm. All women felt the bur-
den of their clothes, but only a few ven-
tured to veal dresses which had only their
usefulness to recommend them. For the
dress was very unattractive and not in the
least tasteful.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady stanton, Susan 3.
Anthony, Paulina Wright Davis, and my
self wore the dress. So did Mrs. Eliza
beth Smith Miller, the daughter of Gerritt
Smith. A number of women in the Hope
dale community wore it. Farmers wives,
East and West, in their laborious lives,
found it an immense relief. One young
woman who worked in a cabinet-shop,
stood knee-deep in the fragrant shavings
and said, "My dress is as good as of that of a
man. | am not in the least hindered by it.
Women who lived at home or worked in.

the bloomer dress. But for those who APP

jeered at us, and we knew that when VIC
passed them they turned to gaze after us
Paulina Wright Davis was beautiful
art Of dressing. But nothing availed tc
save her from the odium which attached tC
the bloomer costume.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton wore rich
material and fine lace, and she brought hei
keen wit to make the old style of dress ap
pear ridiculous, as it is. She pictured the
mother attempting to take her baby up
stairs to bed, with the lamp and the por
ringer and the baby, and her vain effort tc
tuck up her clothes so as not to be thrown
down by them and TINS put both their live!
in peril. She demonstrated very clearly
the superiority of the bloomer dress where
people must earn their living, must go NJ
and down stairs, and walk in wet and mud
dy streets. But, alas. it was not pretty
and so it was doomed.

1t is a well.known fact that physical de-
cay takes place at a much earlier age in
the city than in the country. The popu-
lation of towns and cities is continually
renewed from the agricultural class; 9th
erwise they would soon III out. A prom
inent scientist declares that comparatively
few Partisan families survive the third
generation. In New York, Boston, Chi
cago, and other leading cities of the New
World, the decadence is less swift, but
marked. An observing elderly gentleman
who has lived in New York during forty
years, states that the children of robust
men who were reared in provincial places,
grow sharp-featured. pale and stunted.
Thu grandchildren are still more dwarfed

small of brain and limb, cunning, given to

the blood is tainted, the very fountains of

They belong together; one paves the way

O'er hopes that were drowned in the bowl,

OF the ruin and woe it has made,
OF the wives and the mothers who pray

The harvest of sin and of woe,

The retirement of James ii. Windrim,
supervising architect of the Treasury, is
attracting wide comment as showing the
necessity of paying the higher class OF
government officers larger salaries, especi-
ally when skilled professional men are re-
quired. Mr.. Windrim's receipts from the
Girard estate alone are $3.50 0 per mum,
while the Office he has reluctantly held
pays only 81, 900 per annum If Mr.. Win
drim is as good an architect as he is said
to be it would seem to be a pity that the
government should lose his services from
an inability to pay as much as a private
party offers.
The sanitary condition of the Treasury
Department is once more attracting atten-
tion and various devices for its improve
ment are offered. The Treasury building
has always been in a bad sanitary condi-
ton, though thousands of dollars have
been spent on ventilation. This has been
due in part to the fact that people utterly
incompetent have had charge of the build
ing, and in part to defective construction.
The sub basement and basement are as
dirty and foul smelling as Chinese tobacco
factories. There is really no time to give
the rooms a thorough ~overhauling and

contented, having in most cases originally

cepted the laborers' place temporarily.

The Kansas town of Brakeman has
adopted peculiarly aggressive means
to secure the honor of being chosen

is Atwood. A fund has been subscribed
to buy all the houses in Atwood and move
them to Brakeman, and thus depopulate
the rival. Forty. seven dwelling houses
ana stores have already been purchased
and moved to Brakeman, and the purchas-
ing committee is negotiating for a major
ity Of the remainder. The people of At
wood are said to be hard up and quite will
ing to dispose of their houses at a fair
price. The Brakeman purchasing commit
tee is backed by a railroad and a town
company, and finds no difficulty in raising
the necessary funds. The Brakeman people
are confident of success at the coming cleo
ton.
