HEALTH, BEAUTY AND FAsH1oN.

Physical Culture Advocates DepIore the
Possible Return of Heavy Skirts.
The aim of fashion being beauty as we'll as
variety and novelty, fashion writers are be-
ginning TO advise in regard to health as well
as in regard to the wardrobe, appreciattng
the fact that health is a requisite of beauty.
Dyspepsia is at present the text of many ser
mons to women. We are told that worry is
curse and source of untold evils. 1t seams
the face with lines and burrows and has most
depressing effect upon that representative or
gan, the stomach, which at such times becomes
most unwilling and laggard servant In
deed II is safe TO say that unless encouraged
by cheerful temper and bright, or at least
hopeful thoughts, the stomach will play tru-
ant or sulk and do no work which it can
shirk. The worry and anxiety which depress
the brain produce simultaneously semipar-
aiysls OF the nerves OF the stomach, gastric
juices will not flow, and. presto, there is indi-
gestIonl But while everybody admits the
follles of worrying about triiies the question
is yet unanswered as to how worry is TO
be avoided in connection with many auXieties
OF life that are not triaes. While this remains
unsettled dyspepsia will still be rampant.

Reform BY Gamora.

It has always been hard, apparently, for
man to decide as to when he is justified in in
terfering in the matter OF another mans ill
usage of his property, by property meaning
his wife or his children or his beasts
The humane society simplifes things in the
city, says the New York Tribune, but in the
country it is a more difficult matter to get in
any good words. A young woman who had
tried it has told little story about it.
"You know" she said, that 1 am not

takes an interest in a dog fight, and do not
call every man wretch who whips his horse
more than 1 may think necessary.
Il was in a small country town and started
out one morning on my daily walk There
was team OF horses standing in the road
harnessed to heavy wagon. l thought that
had never before seen such wretched-look-
ing beasts. They were close TO the walk, and
as 1 almost brushed against them 1 saw that
under the collars there were on each side OF
the horses necks great, raw sores.
Just then boy, perhaps nineteen years
old, came out of house near by and got into
the wagon.
"'Are those your horses? 1 asked
They are my fathers. he replied.
" That is a dreadful looking neck on that
horse l said, trying to keep cool and point
ing TO the neck of the horse nearest me.
''' L know it, said the boy, but it's much
better than il was
'''You could not drive horse with neck
like that in the city, said.
NO. l know it. but they don't care for
such things here, you see' replied the bow,
with the utmost GOODNESS, and he drove away,
the collars rubbing into the unfortunate
horses necks at every step.

A CHAPTER ON KISSING.

Children Should Be Taught Not to Offer
Their Lips for Oscillation.
Kisses may be conveniently divided into two
class ses-those which belong to and are init
mately associated with the warmer passions
OF the heart. and those which are purely con-
ventlonal In view of the exacting demands
OF modern sanitary principles, in neither case
Is the habit desirable or even perm issible.
Nevertheless it is only waste of labor for
medical mentors to protest against the nabit.
so far rs the first 'order" of kisses is con-
cerned. Microbes, however pathogentc. will
be ignored under these circumstances, and
such will be the case until time is no more.
With respect. however to the second vari-
ETY. OF kisses, the matter is different. For the
most part. the habit is practiced upon chill
dren, both girls and boys. Among them
selves. too, kissing to q large extent prevails.
But the facility with which diphtheria, meas
les, whooping cough, and scarlet fever are
transmitted in early life renders the habit one
which common sense will show TO be open 10
grave objections.
However essential conventional kisses may
be regarded as a means Of demonstrating
friendship and poiteness, parents should
nevertheless, we think, consider in this mat
ter the welfare of their children first. Our
condemnation OF kisses may, for practical
purposes. be restricted to the Objectionable
but common practice Of kissing on the mouth.
Among grownup people it is unbeeoming, to
say the least, while toward and between chill
dren the practice is opened to the grayest sus-
picion.
Children can be trained with the greatest
ease to offer the cheek or thc forehead for the
proffered caress. and 10 elude the attempt to
contaminate the lips. The incubation period
of al the diseases mentioned may or may not
be infective in the ordinary aeceptation Of the
term. Upon this matter our knowledge, so
far. is by no means certain. while. on the
other hand, recent investigations would seem

Lost His Bait.

An unlooked-for incident that created quite
a sensation for time occurred recently at the
Baptist church prayer-meeting was being
held and among the congregation was
young man who had q pint of whisky in his
pocket, having purchased it a few minutes
before to take on q fishing trip early the fol-
lowing morning. He intended leaving the
bottle at home before going to prayer-meet-
ing, but forgot all about it until the cork came
out in his pocket while the brethren were
singing the hymn "Oh, That'll Be Joyful"
His first impulse was to try TO get The cork
back in the bottle, but he quickly realized by
the volume of liquor that was spreading
over him that there was no use trying to save
any, so he resolved to stand firm and put up
as bold a front as possible.
Before the singing of the next verse an
elderly member of the congregation, who had
been through the fire himself, suddenly
Strengthened up and elevated his nose like a
trained pointer who scents game ahead.
Then. evidently realizing where he was, the
elderly gentleman sat down and tried to get
glimpse OF the bulrs-eye for by this time the
flavor OF the liquor was taking a skate all
over the church.
One of the fully matured sisters OF the
flock got her nose full of the jag-laden air
and gave snort that brought the proceed
lngs to an abrupt termination. Just then
Juvenile spotter saw tiny stream trickling
from the guilty young mans trousers leg and
pointed with his forefinger as the rivulet of
rye meandersd down the aisle. By this time
the congregation fully appreciated the situa-
tion and the holder of the bottle proceeded
to get out IL the air as soon as possible.
Every one was shocked at the discovery and,
after some discussion, it was decided to sug-
gest that the sexton had better search all sus-
picious-looking men hereafter.-Phiadelph
Record.

horses not being paid for and that he fed
them as well as he could afford to do, but he
finally promised to do better, and felt at
peace.
"a week after that. when I was going out
on a little photographinS expedition, 1 met
the team again. Everything was as it had
been before, and the necks of the horses were
in worse condition than ever.
They were standing at the side of the
road nibbling the grass and the collars had
fallen forward, revealing the whole neck. 7

was the desire Of the citizens OF this suburb
that mail station be established there with

been granted: and also that mounted mail
carrier will be put in service Tor tnat locality.
This carrier will do the work for Tennaly-
