The Cost of a Riding Habit.

at has repeatedly been asked, "
writes Mrs. Lucy III. Hopper from
Paris) to the Philadelphia Telegraph,
"why the Empress, after the news OF
Sedan was made public, did not pre-
sent herself to the guards and the
people of Paris and call upon them
to rally around her and her son to
maintain for the latter the imperial
throne. The cause OF this singular
abstention has been made public, 1t
was because no suitable riding habit
could be found for her in which to
show her self on horseback to the
troops and the populace. There
was only one to be found at the Tuil-
cries in the hurry and confusion of
that terrible crisis. 1t was one made
for the hunting parties at Compiegne,
and was in the Louis XIV. style, COM
posed of green velvet embroidered with
gold, and necessitating a cooked hat
for completion of the costume. 1t
was too theatrical. 1t would not do.
And so the gallant appeal to the pub
lie was given up, and with it the last
hope for the preservation OF the en-
pire.

Hygiene of the Eyes,

The hygiene of the eyes is very SIM
pie. For them, as well as for the COM
plexion, good digestion is equally nee
essary-more so, for no cosmetic could
alternate the yellow tinge which bill
BUSINESS imparts to them-and if mys=
terious pencils can supply the INSULT
cient shadow of rare eyelashes, good
health alone can give them the bright
ness which is their principal beauty.
Never read in bed or in reclining at
titude-.it provokes a tension of the
optic nerve, very fatiguing to the eye
sight. Battle the eyes daily in salt
water, not salt enough, though, to
cause q smarting sensation. Nothing
is more Strengthening.
Many persons fear cold air as they
do the plague. They shut themselves
in close bedrooms, where their sFs=
TENS are poisoned and gradually I'M
dermined by breathing bad air, 1t is
claimed for cold air, by some of it's ad-
vocates, that the remedial influence of
| fresh air is much increased by low
temperature. So much increased, in
fact, that colds are more durable in
mid-Winter than in midsummer. Cold
is an antiseptic and a powerful diges-
tive stimulant. Dyspepsia, catarrh
and fevers of all kinds, so say some
doctors, ca II be frozen out of thesys
tenn; not byletting the patient shiver
in q snowbank, but by giving him an
extra allowance of warm bedclothing
with the additional luxury of breath
ing cold air. A movement of air
through the room is secured by leaving
o window open both at the top and
the bottom.

Raising a Goat Beard.

Owe seen @ good many strange

strangest. There is q young man,

Elderly judges, elergymen of the Meth

beard, alone describes 'em. ] never

they came, like death; but live and

with such an adornment, he attracted
some attention-and,t truth to say,

A Very Old Marine Flag.

. No vessel, says the Philadelphia
Record, ever before left Philadelphia
under the colors which were flung to
the breeze from the masthead of the
Italian bark Davide, which left the
Point Breeze refineries recently out
ward bound to the Mediterranean
with case oil. The flag was one of
pure white, with q mitre and KEYS in
the center, and was taken from a Pa
pal regiment by Gen. Garibaldi in his
attack upon Rome in 1853, Although
Garibaldi was defeated, Louis Paris,
one of his soldiers. living in this city,
seized one of the color-bearers and
captured the flag. He bore it away
in triumph, although the Papal
guards fought desperately to regain
their colors. For long time efforts
have been made to discover the
whereabouts of the colors, and only
recently the owner permitted them to
pass into the hands of certain gentle
men in Genoa.

Looking Out For a Rainv Dav.

A recent letter from Europe describ-
ed the frugality of Queen Christina
OF Spain, who is laboring under the
hallucination that she may one day
be brought to proverty, and is conse-
quently scraping together every penny
she can. She even borrows small
coins OF the pages about the place and
forgets to pay them, and the other
day she was caught selling 4 pairs OF
her shoes at 4 cents o pair. Whata
picture of royalty for the snobocracy
of America to contemplate! Never,
theless, Christina may be wise in
her day and generation, for these be
evil times for royalty, and sudden
change from the luxury of a palace to
the pinch of poverty is not impossible
Such thing has happened in Spain
before. An ex-queen need never &c

A fierce battle was waged over the general
Fair Play for Snldiers-

New York Press: The press demands fair
play for the veterans of the war. The whole
pension question has been so shamefully
mlsreprescnted by Democratic organs that
there are fair-mimded people who actually
believe some OF the wild and Intentionally
misleading statements that are appearing in
journals, deliberately creating .alse senti-
ment on this subject. How many readers,
for example, OF journals like the Herald
and World could answer the question of
what is the actual pension roll OF the civil
war o-day? How many readers of the Press
could answer that question off-hand? How
many would say at least one hundred null
ions, and how many would say, WHY,
one hundred and forty millions, O..
course" Such an answer would not sur
prise us at all in view OF the recent articles
that the veteran hatcrs are sending broad
cast oyerthc land dec airing that the pensions
will soon bankrupt the treasury and the
pension rolls reach these Impossible totals.
Now for the truth, q an6e at page 10 of
| the annual report of the commissioner of
| pensions Tor the year ended June 80, $780,
| and we find that the total annual value OF
| pensions as shown by the roll was only
| sos. 367, PSI. That includes the 302, 800 SOL
dicrs and the 104, 456 widows and all the
! pensioners and the widows drawing PEN
sions O. the navy as we'll as the army. That
is the true annual pension roll. Will that
| bankrupt the government? And that be it
| rememb ered. is a constantly and rapidly
decreasing roll Over 10000 were dropped,
| mostly by death, last year, and O greater
number will go this year. And as this
al my OF men silently drop into the grave
many of them fastened there by reason of
| their patriotism, they hear around them
this almost fiendish misrepresentation and
| these ghoulish attacks. A concerted at
tempt is being made by the Democratic
| party and its leaders to confuse the amount
4 of money paid out for arrearage with the
annual pension roll. In measure it has
| been successful, And yet nothing gan be
more unjust to tile soldiers. The money
thus paid goes in lump sum and there It
ends. It is not an annual charge in any
sense. Within two years therefore, the
amount paid out for pensions under exist
| ing laws must decrease. 1t IS well .or Re
/ pubiicans to bear this important fact in
mind. The annual pension roll Is one
1 thing; the total amount paid out in some
given year for pensions altogether another.
