not only an enormous loss of strength
and vigor, but violation OF all the
relevant precepts and principles oil

us by the great masters as well as
rules of hygiene in which all medical
men agree.
Injury to the Functions.
/ One OF the principal particulars in
J which the ordinary mode of dress
among civilized women results in
| physical injury is the downward dis
placement Of all the abdominal and
pelvic organs and numerous functional
and organic diseases growing out of
! this disturbance of the static rela-
/ tons of these organs. The idea that
a displaced stomach may be the cause
OF disease or inconvenience may be
new to some Nevertheless the re-
searches Of Glenard Bouchard, Du-
jardin- Beaumetz and other eminent
physicians have shown beyond room
for doubt the displacement of the
stomach, bowels, kidney, liver and
other abdominal ylscera may be pro-
ductive of the most pronounced dis
turbance of health and source OF
great inconvenience.
Indeed from my own studies on
the subject says Kellogg Il have be-
come convinced that a displaced and
dilated stomach is more likely to be
productive Of immediate and harmful
consequences Of grave character than
displacement Of the pelvic yiscera."
The matter of woman's dress, says
Helen L. Belts, is one in which public
opinion has a powerful influence, es-
pecially the opinion of men. Women
dress not for their own comfort or the
health Of posterity, but to please their
brothers and their husbands. Men
could WELD a mighty influence for
good in this work If they only realized
its Importance As man has a more

Women do not like 10 be laughed at

So said |, becoming bold
"I'll proposition make.
Here's my wallet filled with gold,
Let me all your kisses take"
Then my purse | handed out
Trusting she would deem it fair;
But she seemed a bit in doubt.
No, kind sir, you've had your share
For, you see, the goods I SELL"
Here she paused and dropped he

At a deadful sacrifice,
And my stock is small, indeed

MODEL HOMES.
The Girard Estate Will Build Houses
for Workingmen

Unique in every way will be the 100
residences which the Girard estate will
erect during the coming II months in
South Philadelphia. Not content to
provide homes of the customary type
for the city's wage earners, the trustees
have just approved a series of plans
which, while not entirely original, are
now, for probably the first time, ap-
piled to city operations.
Porter street, between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets, is a part of the
Girard estate, and on this site the
trustees have determined to erect 100
houses which, when completed, will
rent for from $50 to S2S per month
each. Something entirely new to Phila-
delphia, though in successful operation
in many of the suburbs will be intro
duced by the trustees of the estate.
electric lights from their own plant.
These will be furnished to tenants for
the nominal sum Of So a month. In
addition to this a landscape gardener
viii be employed to keep in perfect
condition the gardens which will be
laid out in front of every house in the
row. This innovation will not only
beautify the premises, but, ii is pre-
dicted, will materially enhance the
value of the property The services
Of the gardener will be at the disposal
Of those occupying the houses free OF
charge, and it viii be his sole duty to
beautity the parkings under his charge,
The houses are to be built of brick
and stone two and one-half stories

private architect for the Girard estate
made the drawings, but the contract
mas not as yet been given out Direct
" opposite this proposed block of ideal
modern residences win be located the
Girard Park, which will add greatly to
the attractiveness and desirability OF
the property for residential purposes.
improvements such as, paving the
street at their own expense have al
ready begun, and no effort or expense
viii be spared by those having the
matter in charge to make this property
popular with tenants possessing only
moderate incomes. Philadelphia North

TRANSPLANTING SOD.

J. F. Olcott Begins Grass Experiment in
 California-E Eighty Varieties Sent.
 The Pasadena (Ca) Weekly News of March 1 tells of some new grass culture experiments that are being made on the san Rafael ranch there by James Brad- ford Olcott MT Olcott is the gardener for the Connecticut agricultural experi- ment station and has collected at his farm in South Manchester a large num- Der of ancient grazing grasses. The News Says
 | He has perfected a system by which these sods may be packed for shipment and retain their vigor for a period of over five monthe. It is his opinion that some times grasses will be shipped for grazing purposes from one portion of our globe to another as easily and sat- isfactorily as the shipments of wood and coal are now made.
 Through the courtesy of A. Campbell Johnson, Mir Olcott will start an experl- mental station here in southern Cali fornia, a tho San Rafael ranch, for the purpose partly of more thoroughly test ing these grasses as to the capabilities in resisting drouth, and comparing the results of a meager and q bounteous supply of water
 This week 80 kinds of grasses ar rived in Los Angeles by freight from Connecticut after having been on the road over three weeks, and yesterday were carted to MT. Johneon's place, where this morning MT Olcott was found personally opening and examin- ing the packages which he had himself packed nearly a month ago and which had been previously packed since about Thanksgiving.
 Even to one not versed in grass cul- ture this opening of sod which has been packed in air-tight wrappings and shipped across the continent was very interesting, while to Mir Olcott. who has spent years of study and work in this line, this innovating phase of the subject was certainly of exceeding mo- ment and much to his qualification so far as discovered this morning not one of the so varieties had been killed in the transportation. Exceeding care was taken in the packing. In the process the eods were subjected to a pressure to facilitate the work. First, five sheets of wax paper were wrapped around the sod cuttings, over this oil silk was tightly placed then q covering of oil cloth, then a wrapping of gum cloth and finally a neat covering of Canton mating, making practically air tight package of the cuttings of sward.
 After getting the work thoroughly under way MT. Oleott returns again to his home in Connecticut, leaving a most competent man in charge here, Brit

NOTED SPIRIT MEDIUM.
Mrs. Leonora Piper to Give the World
 Her Experiences.

Mrs. Leonora Piper to Give the World
 Her Experiences.
 Mrs. Leonora Piper, the noted spirit medium, is about to be released from her contract with the London Society of Psychic Research so that she can give to the general public the benefit of her experiences with spirit manifestations. Her career in this mysterious realm has been markabla--remarkable be- cause so many scientists of recognized standing have vouched for the genuine ness of her claims. Many have de- lclared that Mrs. Piper has demonstra- ted to them, scientifically, that the soul does continue to exist after death; that the demonstration is as real as any in chemistry or physics.
 Professor James H. Hyslop, of Co., lumbia university, is one who professes complete confidence in her. Professor William CrookeS is another. Of late Mrs. Piper has been under the control of the American branch of the London so- ciety. An account of the marvels re- vealed by her was published last year by Professor Hyslop and MT Richard Hodgson.
 Professor Hyslop suggests that many persons confined in insane asylums are not insane, but are simply favored re- cipients of visits from spirits. Most of the doctors in charge of insane persons ridicule this theory. It is noted, how ever, that insanity often manifests it. self in an intense interest in spiritualis- tic seances and belief in spiritualistic claims and Dr. Charles G. Hill, of Mount Hope Retreat, Md, is the only insanity expert who has taken the trou- ble to answer Professor Hyslop.-New York Mail and Express.

CHASING A BRusHLEss FOX.

meet of the Overland Hunt club, screduled for Saturday at the Valley Hotel on the Dulany's Valley pike, had, on account of bad footing, only four riders including Dr. E. Percy Smith and John Guthrie. The hounds started a fox, but it had no tail and an argu ment arose as to how the rider was to be rewarded who was first in at the death. A tailless fox is popularly sup posed to be slow of foot, but this one outran the hounds and got away after chase of some miles, leaving the ar gument about the brush unsettled.-- Baltimore Sun.

The Boers are using explosive bullets here. The day following that on which the New South Wales Lancers patrol were cut up, We found two men bearing evidence of it. One was dead. The back of his skull was completely blown away. The other was a peculiarly sad case. The bullet had carried away the lower jaw, tongue and other portions; he was still alive, and wrote with his finger on the sand the one word, Wa teri" but he had neither tongue nor mouth to drink by, and so he died - Rensburg Correspondence of the Lon don Telegraph.

 The most famous and heretofore largest cedar known in the state is near Sedro-Woolley, the stump of whicb measures fourteen feet in diameter. The top of it was smoothed off and used as dancing platform.
