 Slattery turned up at the house of John Hayes on the South Road with the child and was taken into the house and an examination of the child showed that it was dead. It appears that the boy had complained of cold and hunger, so the Idiot wrapped his overcoat around him, took him on his back and carried him good part of the night without that the lad was dead The affair has greatly aroused the feelings of residents in this neighborhood.

 Rejected.
 London, Feb. 18.-The house of com- mons this evening rejected by a vote of 297 to 2SS Joseph Chamberlain S amend ment declaring it to be against public interest that the time of the house be wasted upon bills which the ministers admitted would not pass, when meas ures involving grave constitutional changes which should be considered without delay had been announced.
 Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, looked after the govern- ment's interests in the debate preceding the division on MT Chamberlain's mo- tion He referred to the conservative demand, last voiced by Lord Salisbury on Saturday, that the government ap- peal to the country on the home rule issue alone. There never had been, he declared, and there never would be general election with a single issue. The ministers regarded themselves as abso- lutely bound, until condemned by the house, to prosecute the policy which they had been delegated to carry out.
 Arthur J. Balfour, the unionist lead CT. replied. After the division Sir Wil- liam moved the closure of debate on the address. The motion was carried by vote of 279 to 271, and the address was agreed to.

She desires to introduce dress
reform among men. She says,
obllvious to the shoulders and
back OF a well.fitted coat, that
there is not a single graceful
line in masculine attire. To
change this men ought TO wear
skirts. as they wore them in
former ages.
1t is the painful truth. tits
humiliating TO remember that
three or four hundred years ago
men were as ldiotic and absurd
in the matter of their attire as
women now are. This may
sound incredible to the present
age, but it is nevertheless true.
There was time when men wore
slashed doublets and laced panta-
lets and balloon sleeves and
trunks stuffed with bran. They
made guys of themselves. not
because they had to sing in opera
or appear on the stage of the
theatre. Persons otherwise in-
telligent and engaged in useful
occupations went around the
streets looking after a carnival
pageant. But no man would do
it now. Indeed it would be cruel
to revert to this painful illustra.
ton of human folly were it not
that it teaches a lesson of en-
couragement and hope. If civil,
lized man has learned in the
course of three hundred years
to dress with sense it is pos
sible that civilized woman may
eventually fashion garments in
which she will not look ridlcu-
lous-say inthree hundred years
from now. N 7. lKorid
