YOUNG GIRLS ON THE STREETS.

Young girls with trim little tailored suits and
natty hats, with snooded hair and fresh round
faces girls who ought to be home with mother and
father, are to be seen upon the streets without
or i'll groups of twos and threes at hours long
past curfew time on any night of the week. There
is something in the round faces that grips little
at the heart however, and there's too often swag
ger to the ightfooted walk that seems out of har-
mony with sweet girlhood
There's quick retort and fippant jest from
lips that should be repeating the multiplication table
at home, and bold glance brazen stare from
eyes that should be yelled in maiden modesty Poor
little girls. not to know how much more precious
than all things born they when they properly
estimate their own worth and prize themselves at it !.
Victor Hugo once said that he was one of those who
fall speeches. in the presence of young girls and
flowers" deeming them holy And still they come
to be unprized by themselves neglected By their
proper protectors and taken at their own estimate
by the world.
And it isn't their fault Most of them have
mothers and fathers who can tell them of the pit
falls that lie in the path of vanity and disobedence
Most of them have homes that should be their shell

the time they were saying their bitter
things about the President we told

Temperament And Food.

For bilious persons a chart of life pub
lished by Professor Boyd Lanyard gives
emphatics warning of dangerous rocks in
the shape of saussges, pork, turtle and
other commodities. Eels must not be
eaten by brain workers, chilly persons
should cultivate a taste for sardines, while
irritable people are warned away from GIN
ger, and the melancholy man must not
touch bacon.
whitehall, it is suggested, is advisable
for persons who are of an amarous nature;
asparagus is forbidden to those who suffer
from excitement, and languid persons are
told to be careful when they indulge in
peas, potatoes, arrowroot and macaroni.
Duck, for some mysterious reason, is des-
cribed as unsuitable for the bashful, the
irate, the pale, the drowsy, and the Inc.
briate.
