NEW YORK, Sept. lit seems at
last as if the summer goods were finally
disposed of, and the minds of the shop
ing public are no longer distracted by
the sight of bargains which it does not
need, but is too frequently tempted into
buying simply on account of their
eheapness. Instead of remnants and
shop-worn stuffs, there is now an at
tractive display of fall and winter nov
elites; and the dressmakerS are jubilant
over the orders which every day pour
in upon them. Many of these are for
the plain serviceable costumes of cheviot
or tweed which no sensible woman can
now afford to dispense with, but there
is also in process of creation a number
Of handsome gowns for calling and

vogue for these are fine faced , cloths
and the BedfOrdS cords. of single
color. which may be one of the browns
ranging from almond up to seal, or any
shade of the darker blues. These will
be the leading fashionable hueS, but
green and prune are still obtalnable for
those who fancy them. Braiding. heavy
silk embroidery interspersed with cut
jet or steel drops, gimp, passementerie,
fur and feather bands-all those are the
selected trimmings, though the last will
be reserved for the real winter cos
tunes. But it is not about gowns that
the women are now concerning them
selves. The fall wrap is quite as i'm
pOrtant as the costume. and full half the
shoppers one meets are seeking some

which will serve until it is time for

but the latter were turned out in such
quantities last spring that women of
taste now prefer the coat, as being
smarter and less likely to be carica-
tured in cheap materials.

When the face of the floor begins to
look worn and shabby after cleansing of
the dirt and wiping dry, if water has
been used, rub the surface all over
nicely with cloth moistened with a
few drops of oil, if the floor has hard
oil finish, or brush it lightly with thin
shellac if it has shellac surface.
After the finish is worn down to the
Nsurface of the wood, sandpaper the floor
all over evenly and give it another coat
of shelac or hard oil finish, after which
continue to keep as before.
Wax floors can be cleansed by wash
ing off thoroughly with turpentine or

j years of nearly 100000. The German
| census of last December places the num-
| Der Of females about 100000 above that
of the males in the kingdom of Prussia,
or nearly three times the excess TWEEN
ty years ago. There are 100000 more
females than males in the whole Ger
man empire. In Sweden and Norway
| the weaker sex" is in the majority by
100000, in Austria-Hungary by 1000,
in Denmark by 10000, and in every Eu-
ropean country they outnumber the
| males.
In the United States Canada and
| Australia the males are in the majority,
| though not largely so, the estimated ex-
/ cess of males in this country being only
! l, 100000 or 100000. 1t is plain that,
but for immigration, which furnishes a
much greater number of men than
women, the latter would soon be in the
majority mere. There is large pre-
| ponderance now Of females in New
| England and in some other sections of
the United States, and if immigration
were to materially decrease, undoubt-
| edly the surplus of males would soon
! disappear in the whole country. In
less civilized countries, where women
are lightly esteemed, it is otherwise,
! India having about 100000 more men
than women, while the males largely
! pfep0nderate III CHINA. The obvious
deduction is that the higher civiliza-
| ton Is most favorable to the increase of
the female sex. and this suggests the in
teresting question whether civilization
is doing the best thing IN the world in
| producing this result. A fact of hardly
less interest brought out by the British
census is the marked decline in the
marriage rate, which has been almost
| steadily tending downward for nearly
two decades. Mean time there has been
| an even more decided decline in the
birth rate, so that not only is marriage
! decreasing, but marriages are becoming
less prolific on the average. There is
the same tendency in this country, pre-
vailing chiefly among the better classes.
An excess of females in country is GER
tain to have an unfavorable influence
| on the marriage rate, and the moral
| consequence Of such a state of affairs
can easily be conceived.

Recent New York Tenements.

Owners, builders and plumbers are re-
luired to construct buildings according to
the approved plans, and are vigorously
prosecuted for any violation. Sanitary en-
gineers are detailed to inspect as often as
necessary every building in purse of con
struCtion, to report violations of plans
and specifications, to thoroughly test the
plumbing and to report the satisfactory
completion of all work before the occupa-
ton of the building is permitted.
As the result of this important sanitary
work the New York tenement house re-
Gently built is a model structure and can

space Of ten feet is required at the rear of
every such house, with open courts in the
interior sufficient in size to afford light
and ventilation to every room. At least
one water closet with suitable appliances
for flushing, we'll lighted and ventilated by
a separate air shaft, must be provided for
every fifteen persons.
The cellars are lighted by windows to
the external cir, their floors are concreted,
and their ceilings plastered or sealed with
boards. The Old hydrant in the yard,

apartment with suitable kitchen sinks and
washtubs. The plumbing and drainage
conform to the most approved system, and
eartheuw&re pipes with leaky joints, and
uutrapped and uDvcntilated waste pipes
are unknown in the modern tenement.
The old tenement houses are rapidly
yielding to the entertainments OF business,
and are replaced b. factories, stores and

the proper enforcement of the laws and
