SOCIAL L,a

To the Social Editor:
 This recent raid on what the fair wo- men of this free country of ours should wear or not wear seems to be a very childish act on the part of some of our legislators. Surely these advocates of what women shall not wear are aspiring to notoriety, but such positions taken by our law makers. only tends to make them less than a drop in the bucket What objections have we to the opposite sex parting their hair in the middle, wearing corsets, having their trousers so tight that their faces resemble strutting tur- key gobbler when polteness compels them to pick up a lady's glove, or so large that they remind one of circus clown without his "wind," or bedecking their well-kept hands with diamonds, and many other such feminine" modes of dress. Objections! Why, not any. Dress and adornment of the body are as essential as food is for the body. Then let us not try to dictate to each other, but rather set good examples. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gam der.' DAILY READER.

If you want to preserve apples, don't cause a break in the skin. The germs of decay thrive rapidly there. So the germs of consump- tion find good soil for work when the lining of the throat and lungs is bruised, made raw, or injured by colds and coughs. Scott's Emulsion, with hypophosphites, will heal inhamed mucus mem branes. The time to take it is before serious damage has been done. A 5o-cent bottle is enough for an or dinary cold.

 RECENT WRINKLE.

The latest wrinkle in the shoe line in this part of the country is going to be worked by Drennen 6 Co.,, the mammoth general merchants of this city, who do big business with the country and labor trade. They have ordered from the J. B. Lewis company of Boston large con slgnment of shoes. Each shoe will be numbered and with each shoe, corre- spondingly numbered, goes an accident pays $3 for pair of shoes and gets with u thls policy, which guarantees him $l00 indemnity if he gets hurt within three months after the purchase of the shoes, which are guaranteed to last that time, so that two birds are killed with one stone-the purchaser is liable to be out or shoes and insurance policy about the same time and thus desire the renewal oI ooth The insurance policies are is- sued by an insurance company, with whom the J. B. Lewis company has a contract to that end, and will be directly responsible for loss on the same. Dren- nen & Co. say they are going to adver- use the scheme very extensively, and nope, Tor the furtherance of trade, that the nrst man to buy a pair of shoes will get hurt, so as to receive the $i00 on the insurance policy and help the project. It is decidedly the most novel scheme ever introduced in this city, although Birmingham is by no means behind the world in such matters, and bids fair to Ill the mines, furnaces and farms in Jef- ferson county with the $3 shoe of the J. B. Lewis company.
