CROSSING THE LIMBS.
Why II Is Harmless TO Men and Not to
Women.

Ladies who sit with their limbs
crossed to sew or to read. or to hold
the baby. are not aware that they are
inviting serious physical ailments, but
it j. true nevert heiess. says the New
York Morning journal. When a man
crosses his legs he places the ankle of
one limb across the knee of the other
and rests it lightly there. \ woman.
more modest and rest ricted in her
movements, rests the entire weight OF
one limb on the upper part oi the
other, and this pressure upon the sen
sitive nerves and cords, il indulaed in
for n continued length OF time, ~ i.
often done by ladies who sew or EN-
broider, will produce disease. Scat-
lea. neuralgia and other serious
troubles frequently result from this
simple cause. The muscles and nerves
in he upper portio of II woman's les
are extremely sensitive, and much oi
her whole physical structure can he
come deransed ii they are overtaxed
IN the manner referred to.

What Socialism Really Means.


w. = Lily in February Forum
Now, what are we to say 10 the nos
trum, whereby the socialists would
remedy the misercs of the world? At
the outset it is open to this manifest
objection. that the remedy is worse
than the disease. | do not unlerratc
the gravity of the disease. But what
does the socialistic proposal really
mean? Ii means the undoing OF tn.
work OF civilization. For in what does
the progress OF society consist? 1t
consists in the evolution OF the indi-
vidual.
The history of Western civilization.
whatever else 1t may be. i. certainly
the history of the growth of personal
liberty and OF private property. And
the two things are most intimately
connected. for property is but liberty
realized. Socialism, as Proudhon con
fesses, sis apt to take its assumptions
for realities; its Ctopias for institu-
tions.' Its Ctopias, realized, would,
alas. mean barbarism. And what
can be more ialse than some OF its
assumptions? Take one. for example.
that 1.-The workers produce all the
wealth OF society"
Does not capital. then. create value?
Does it not render human labor more
productive by promoting cooperation
and by the use of improved machin-
cry? 1t is true, also, that socialism
is in direct conflict with mans natural
rights; and herein is its sufficient con
demnation. 1t is fatal to human lib
erty, in that it is the negatio of mans
most sacred prerogative, to be himself,
to live out his own life Its met hod is
like that OF the well-intentioned but
unwise father, who is related by Mr..
Samuel Weller TO have cut of his sons
head in order to cure him OF squirting.
Socialism, indeed, if we weigh the
matter well, is but one of the many
expressions OF the abounding mate
rialism OF the day. 1t is a chapter,
and very ignoble one, in what Mr..
Carlyle was wont to call pig phlos-
ophy." 1t is devoid of any true notion
OF the organic, which is essentially
rational and ethical. 1t would reduce
the public order to machine, and
would bring in an era OF universal
slavery, with a modicum OF pigwash
for all.
