Separate Cars for the Races.

From the Philadelphia Record (Dem).
The Louisiana supreme court has decided that
the law making it compulsory for railway com
panies TO provide separate cars for white and
colored riders is constitutional There is no
discrimination, in the eye OF the law, it ade-
quate provision be made for both races; and,
indeed, il was the lack of due accommodations
for passengers which led to the examination by
judicial proceedings into the validity of the
statute, which was enacted two years ago.

Reforms That Ruined wedlock.


The unstayed and classical figure OF the
Greek maiden of yore is frequently the
artists ideal OF womanly grace. The scarce
deiineated curves are dreams and the com
plete figure poem. That is, for business
purposes to the artist But when you come to
consider your artist as man he is decidedly
human. The nineteenth century tailor
made girl. in bell skirt, zouave JACKET,
corset and suspenders pleases him better
than any of the ancient beauties draped only
il dozen yards OF linens could have done.
Artist C. W. Stetson, of Providence, RI l. .
realizes this. Eight years ago he painted
nyInphs and Venuses aud courted a girl
who wore bangs anu high-heeled shoas. And
he loved her all the better because she was
modern.
But she did not remain girl OF the p. Rod
long. Shortly after marriage she Ue-
came an ardent dress reiormer and an en-
thusiast In physical culture; She threw
away her corset, pulled the plaits out Of her
dresses, Knocked the heels of her shoes,
discarded belts and began an active cam
paign against the sin Of deforiniug tbs fe-
male form divine by the use OF aids to nat
ure in figure shaping. With her Mother
Hubbard wrapper was more to be desired
thau the dsintiest creation Of Worth, the
Paris man modiste. Mr.. Stetson viewed
the dress reform aghast but held his peace
Mrs Stetson's other fad physical culture,
however, brought trouble. Taken alone,
MIR. Stetsons artistic soul could stand the
alleged classical drapery that his wife drew
about her in lieu of clothing. But when
she ''went into training" for every prog
pectIve event he began to grow FESTIVE. She
trained to walk, to run, to jump. to expand
her bust measure and the circumference OF
her limbs. She trained for months in re-
form ideas at the prospect OF maternity, to
teach American women a valuable lesson.
And then barely escaped with her life. She
trained herself on all possible occasions, aud
tried to train Stetson to get along without
a wife while she wrote pieces for the pa
psrs.
AT last the crushed worm turned. Stetson
was sick of reform. He stood 1t for seven
years or so, until last week. Then he APP
