,LAMIrIes IN CITIES.
Every Great Center Sooner or Later
Meets With Disaster.

Sooner or later, it seems, every
city in the country is sure to have
its great calamity. New York has
had its blizzard, Charleston its
earthquake, Galveston its deluge
Johnstown it's food, Chicago and
Baltimore their fires, New Orleans
its pestilence, st. Louis its cyclone
Pittsburg its riots, Paterson it,
dread trinity of flame, flood and
tornado, the cities of the lower Mis-
sissippi valley their freshets and
San Francisco and the sister cities
of the coast ruin in earthquake and
fire. Somewhere every year it seems
to be the case that the destruction
that befell the ancient cities of the
plain is to be repeated, to awaken
the same superstitious dread and re.
mind humanity that "God made the
country and man made the town."
Why is 1t that the lament "Bab-
ylon is fallen, is fallen" must be
uttered every year? The reason
is as prosaic as the force of gravita-
tion, but it may be as formidable
as that force working through an
earthquake shock. Where a multi.
tude of people are gathered together
the forces exist for converging 0
calamity that would dissipate itself
unnoticed in a wilderness or a pas.
toral country. A great city means
a great population to disseminate
contagion. IL means a site on o
navigable river that may be mur.
derously overswollen in freshet OF
on bay of the ocean out Of which
a swollen tide may come. As for
the wind, IL ''bloweth where II
listeth," and a storm that in a farm.
ing country might uproot a few
trees and unroof a few cottages, in
a city may topple down walls on
sleeping population and lend wings
to the death angel Of fire.
The life of the ordinary individ.
ual contains few startling Incl.
dents, but a city may live for hun.
drcds or thousands Of years. and
sooner or later something will hap
pen TO II that will be matter for
history.-Ncw York Mail.

Trousers, the distinctive feature
OF men's dress, were worn in Egypt
for the frat time. Both women and
men had been wearing aprons.
Aprons were the very FIRST attempt
TO ornament and decorate the per-
son. Before they appeared men
and women wore skins and furs--
plain. severe aud simple. The aprons
were n fanciful frill. The women
Of Egypt got to wearing them long,
and imperious fashion required the
men TO do the same. II was diili-
cult for the men TO move freely,
though, wearing these long aprons.
A genius appeared. lie cut holes
in the apron, stuck his legs through,
and, behold, he had the rudimentary
trousers! Little by little something
was added behind or in front until
today We have the perfect pattern.
