DECAY OF DELICACY.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, a woman of
keen perceptions and fine culture, one of
the trained observers of the day, is out in
an essay in which she arrives at the con-
clusion that modern society has suffered a
great loss of delicacy, and that Sin society
delicacy is strength" The surprise is that
Mrs. Phelps should have thought it neces-
sary to indulge in long review essay to
prove so palpable proposition. No one
who compares the behavior of young
women of to-day with the conduct of young
women twenty years ago in the same COM
munity can fail to notice great loss
of that modest charm of expression, of
manner, of costume, of pose and of general
bearing which distinguishes the woman Of
delicacy from the woman whose knowledge
of the world is too great. Delicacy will more
and more decline and chivalry in the con-
duct of men towards women more and
more retire, as women are pushed into the
avenues of trade, and put upon the mar
L
kets in competition with men for work
that is destructive of the domestic tastes
antagonistic to housewifely requirements
and that tends to harden the sensibilities
and make callous the modest qualities that
men most admire in women. Mrs. Phelps
gracefully and well states the facts when
she says:
There is an indescribable expression in the eye
every fine observer knows (which distin
| guishes modest girl from matron. Look fol
it in the eyes of our girls to-day. 1t is missing
SO often; it is replaced by another so unwel
come, so worldly wise, so unpleasantly expert
enced, that we shrink with a sense OF having
lost the most precious thing in girlhood. 1t is
not our purpose to prove here that the lax
theatrical view of life is largely responsible fol
this, but only to ask, by the way, how far it may
| be responsible. Better. like the Puritan lady
| to shut the eyes when the ballet comesl Better
a simple, serious, unworldly Ignorance of the
| low and vicious coming in the name of the high
and cultured; better. a thousand fold, the in
stinct of modesty which cannot see coarse
sight. than the cool, Indifferent upgirl-like
| familiarity with criminal suggestions which i:
now the fashion among us.

Death of Milo.

Milo was famous athlete of Crotona, in
Italy. He had developed his muscular
power in various WAYS, so that he came to
be wonder of strength. Many curious
stories are told of him in ancient legends
1t was said that he could hold pomegran-
ate in his hand, with his fingers closed
around it, and while not even pressing the
fruit, could yet keep his fingers bent so
firmly that no one could open his hand in
the least He could tie cord around his
brow, and by holding his breath and caus-
ing the veins of his head to distend, could
break the cord asunder He could hold
his hand behind his back, with thumb
raised and fingers extended, and the
strongest man could not move the little
finger apart from the rest. To support his
great vigor it is said that he ate every day
twenty pounds of animal food and twenty
pounds of Bread and drank fifteen pints of
wine.
This athlete was crowned seven times as
victor in the Pythian games, and six times
at the Olympic, and his victories only
ceased when no one dared to come forward
to contest with him. He once had an OPP
portunity of putting his great strength to
very good use. While attending one OF
the lectures of Pythagoras the column
which supported the roof of the hall was
seen to be giving way, whereupon Milo,
bidding the assemblage to withdraw
quietly, upheld the entire superstructure
until all had escaped safely, and then
saved himself. He led the army of Gro
tona against the Sybarites in B. c. 500,
and gained signal victory. The story of
his death is melancholy one. When an
old man, he was cutting tree in the for
est, and had partially split it by inserting
wedges He then thrust his hands into
the opening, believing that he could thus
rend the tree asunder. His strength was
not equal to this effort, the wedges fell
out, and his hands were held so tight in
the cleft tree that he could not free them.
In this hopeless situation, unable to bring
anyone by his cries for aid, the old man
was set upon and devoured by wolves.

THE contemplate journalism that has
gratifed lust for scandal by publishing a
lot of rubbish about the ladies of the
White House ought to receive the con-
domination of every man who has spark
of chivalry and tinge of decency in his
composition. Mrs. Harrison and her
daughter and daughter-in-law are women
without reproach. They have borne them
selves with becoming dignity and modesty,
and are entitled to the respect of all men
and women. Mrs. Cleveland, in the White
House, was treated by the Republican
press with uniform courtesy, and even
with especial favor and compliment. The
Democratic papers which have circulated
the mean stories about Mrs. Harrison and
her daughters have won the contempt of
all manly men, and should be repudiated
by their party.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS recently
said: "Among the men of this country
who will be noted as a public bene-
factor, with others whose memory is
already canonized for their humanity and
the relief of suffering, is Henry Bergh."
That is simple truth and accurate proph-
ecy. No man was laughed at more in his
day; no man was reviled as he, who made
any pretense to philanthropic labor. But
the day is not far distant when the "crank"
will be honored as man who was simply
in advance of his day, moving in lofty
humane atmosphere which society scarcely
reached in his time He taught, and
by his life exempli6ed the magnificent
religion of kindness and mercy to and
love for the helpless animals that serve us.
He who does that effectively teaches also
of the greater of virtues, love for mankind.
gentleness, mercy and forgiveness for our
fellows. Bergh really accomplished more
than any reformer in the century, save
and except the slavery abolition leaders.
He brought the American people by his
teaching, preaching and persistence to
spare the beast of burden and to abhor the
man who inficts needless pain upon an
animal of domestic use. We recall the
day, not so very long ago, when Mr..
Bergh's branch society in San Francisco
was the public laughing stock, the butt of
ridicule and the target for journalistic wit
and satire. How is it now? There is no
man in the metropolis who does not re-
spect and will not aid the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The
fidelity of Bergh inspired all his followers,
and to-day no man dares to abuse his do

nestle animals except at imminent risk of
severe punishment. Bergh did an i'm
mense service to his race in implanting in
the hearts of the men and women of
America the qualities of mercy to beasts
virtue which in earlier days, notably in
our cities, appeared to have no human
abiding place Mr.. Curtis has rendered
the verdict of mankind when he says
"The American list of worthless is incom-
plete in which the name of Henry Bergh
is not written large"
