BLACK CLOTHES AND HEALTH.
Physician Arrives at n Sanitary Com
CluSiOn.

cIusion.
a physician said recently to a pa
tient OF his, a woman of wealth in this
city, that he would refuse to treat her
further if she did not give up wearing
black, 1t was not. however. until Il dis
cussion ensued that he found out how
much he was asking. Not only were
her gowns black, but her underwear
throughout was of the same color.
The doctor then remarked that he had
considered the alternative he offered
her, to abandon black gowns or find
another physician, an extreme meas
ure. and only justified because of her
peculiarly nervous and ueurotic state,
but when il came to discovering that
she had nothing but black clothes upon
her person he would refuse to treat
anybody so dressed. The peculiarly
nervous and neurotic state he con-
sidered largely explained by this dress
alone. He succeeded in effecting
change in his patients attire through
out, insisting on Whitehall white un-
derclothes and as much use of white in
the outer garments as was possible and
practicable.
There are hundreds of women SINH
larly i'll and dressed as she was who
have no idea that anything but ques-
ton of taste is involved in the color of
their garments. They would not eX-
pect a plant covered up from the sun
by repeated layers of black cloth to
flourish. but they do not seem TO know
that light and sunshine are necessary
for their bodies. AS this wise physician
told his wealthy patient, the whole
body needs light and sunshine, as both
have healthy and healing properties.
Especially upon the nervous system do
light and sunshine act, and with es-
pecial force in cases of sleeplessness,
nervous headaches, and prostration.
But physical ills can be prevented by
simply wearing light clothing. The
outward dress it may be impracticable
to always govern with an eye single
to this one consideration, but the I'M
derclothing can and always should be
white. Every instinct to the incest
taste leads to the came conclusion

1t is undoubtedly a serious loss to
have so much of the hay crop injured by
excessive rains, as has been the case
the present year. Yet this may be in
part made an advantage to farmers if
it turns their attention to grain as
a cheaper source of nutrition than
even the best hay can be. More than
this, if given with enough hay or straw
or cornstalks to distend the stomach,
grain is better food because more easily
digested In the coarser fodder so much
of the nutrition goes to sustain ami
NAL heat or the processes of digestion.
that comparatively little is left to
make flesh or milk or fats. The knowl-
edge that some grain with hay makes
cheaper nutrition is not half so widely
extended as it ought to be. If it were
there would be a better demand for
grain and it would sell at better prices

WOMAN IN THE HOME.
The workers Who Go Not Out Into the
World.

The Workers Who Go Not Out Into the
World.
ITS glorious to be independent"
Its grand to be able to stand alone"
Its worth labor, toll and care to reach
ones hand out and take what one will
from among the gifts for which strong
men are striving. To make ones own
place, to work so well that work brings
recognition and remuneration-al that
is good" So say the women who never
tried to do these things by way of en-
enlargement to those who have been
forced to try. But faint and small the
echo of such words from the ranks of
the workers themselves. II we could
hear their heartbeats in the stiffness
of the night, in their little country
homes from which they take the bust
ness trains for their days of labor in
the city; in their boarding houses; in
their tiny apartments which they try
to make like homes, we should find them
throbbing out different tale.
They are out in the world, out of their
homes. Yes, but not of their own wish
or will. driven out by such demons as
intemperance, misfortune, or poverty,
and in nine cases out of ten working
with the heart still clinging to the
home. Then in nine cases out of ten
there's always somebody else for whom
they work. 1t may be a father, kind
but inefficient and unfortunate. There
is a mother well stricken in years.
There are invalid relatives to be taken
gently down to the grave side, and
money smooths even that weary way.
There are brothers to be helped through
college. There are sisters to be in
structed and trained, not in order that
they can go out into the world. Oh!
no, but so that they can do something,
too, to add to the income and yet stay
at home"
This is the kind of burden they carry;
these are such utterances as we should
hear if we listened to their heartbeats
in the night. SO the noblest class of
working women, even like men, would
keep their little sisters in the home

During the eclipse of the sun last

NEW BICYCLE SADDLE.
1t Is Constructed Especially for the
Women

1t Is Constructed Especially for the
Women.
The latest thing in bicycle seats. and
one to which it is said physicians can
make no objection whatever. is the new
ball bearing saddle. 1t is made in two
separate parts, adjusted with special
adaptability to the human anatomy,
and has been made with special care as
woman's saddle. 1t is the only saddle
which has ever been constructed on the
common sense plan and the only saddle
which is built especially for women. 1t
moves with the body, avoids all irrita-
ton, and secures greater comfort and
freedom than other styles of saddle.

SENSIBLE BICYCLE SADDLE.

Its hygienic qualities are its recon-
mendation. Many women who have not
been able to endure the ordinary sad
dies, and hence have never thoroughly
enjoyed riding wheel, will be able to
take much pleasure out of the new one.
These are made in any color. to fit any
wheel, and adapted to any weight. It's
said to be the most sensible seat made.
