New York master tailors send word
that henceforth we must not wear
cuffs on the ends of our trousers. Cuffs
are still to be encouraged for coat
sleeves. Perhaps we may be sartorial-
ly behind the times, but we confess
that we are ignorant of trousers with
cuffs. Were the Broadway and Fifth
avenue victims of fashion compelled to
wear laundered cuffs around their an
kles in addition to the cloth arrange
ments at the finis of the trouser limbs ?
Trousers without cuffs on the ends of
the limbs and without provision for
what seems to be a monstrous and un-
warrantable addition to the laundry

The suffragettes of London who the
other day chained themselves to the
iron railings of the premier's house in
Downing street exhibited an inventive
ness and power to perplex that mas
culine agitators will envy, but never

be loosened or broken, and that gently,
by the outwitted police, before the mar

Whether or not they helped their
cause by such ingenious and perplexing
agitation may be an open question, but
they certainly proved once more the
right of their sex to be called the most
interesting and ingenious. No woman.

substitute for daily newspaper, but

puzzling subject the daily newspaper
has to deal with.

RIGHTEOUS OVER-MUCH

a
1 the outbreaks of fanaticism that
~ seem to be inseparable from free
government, whether exemplified by
republican institutions or by those of
a-very-limited monarchy. With furi-
Gus zeal that has been approached in
the United States from time to time
during blue law spasms, but that has
not been altogether equaled on this side
of the line since the days of the Salem
witches, the authorities at Winnipeg
have arrested over five hundred citi-
zens accused of breaches of the Lords
day act. Many works that even in
the severest of our blue law periods
have been immune from molestation on
the ground that they were works of
necessity and mercy have been includ-
ed in the scope of the Canadian crusade,
and newspaper men caught in the act
of transcribing notes of Sunday SER
mons for publication in the Monday
paper. editors detected in the mon-
strous offense of using a profane blue
pencil, undertakers who were attend
ing to the last offices of persons who
had been so unscrupulously regardless
of the law that they had died on Sun
day, and even a citizen who, believing
that cleanliness was next to godliness,
was taking a bath, were all captured
in the dragnet of the police.
The officials did not begin their Sab
batarian movement without inspiration
1ax OF 0P
citizens practically compelled the police
to do their duty by enforcing in every
jot and little the Lords day act. which
commands the community to remain
in condition of suspended animation
from Saturday night until Monday
morning.
With all due respect for decent
Sabbath, in which no interference with
freedom of worship WIFI be allowed. 1t
Is impossible to avoid the conclusion
that such a thing as a reductio ad abb
surdum of the sanetity of the day is
possible. The citizens alliance and the
police commission of Winnipeg have
driven Sabbath observance down the
easy descent to bathos.
Thomas Carlyle, Scottish by birth
but cosmopolitan by genius. said that
the English-speaking races, more than
any other had the knack of making
fools of themselves. Every action, even
J when it was prompted by a sense of
duty, was classed as folly by the Chel-
sea philosopher when it clashed with
common sense. He held. in effect. that
there were only two kinds of people
fools and the other kind-and the peo-
pie of England never forgave him be-
| cause he said that the population of
that country consisted mostly of-well
not Of 1.-THE other kind"
On such an occasion as that reported
in Winnipeg Carlyle on Canada would
have made grand reading. AS his ghost
is almost the only great spirit that has
stubbornly refused to manifest itself at
spook seances-a fact. by the way
which may be held by some to be proof
auxiliary of the truth of spiritualist
claims-it is not possible to invoke
it for the purpose OF aiding newspaper
criticism. We are all at liberty, how.
ever, to imagine the Carlylean apostro-
phe which would greet the campaign
in Canada. But since Carlyle flung al
the English the name that is the ulti.
mate resource of ilvective, what wort
would he find to characterize the Ca
madam "unco guild and rigidly right
eous"-the ultra Sabbatarians?

for Miriam 'extenuating circumstances"
and, while solemnly ~ad1nonishing her
of the enormity of her offense in
thus taking the law into her own
hand. and severely rep~rimanding her
for the same, wound up the case by Il
p%anegyric on her superb talent" and
let her go scot free. And her beautiful
face, her beautiful voice, were from
henceforth lost to Europe. The 'di-
vino Miriami" was seen no more: it
was rumored that she was dead, and In
the hurrying world of fashion and pleas
ure she was soon forgotten. But there
is a certain retreat In Palestine where
approved Jewish teachers and profess
sors educate the children of the neigh
boring Jewish poor; and among these
there is a mistress Of music and singing
"a a V dark, beautiful woman
whose grand voice Is the wonder of the

have a great and lasting influence on
the minds of her pupils. She is know
as Madame David, and only one or two

she was once an artist queen OF
song and star of opera. She
Is very patient with die and re-
fractory scholars, but also very firm
and unyielding in her demands for
excellence in music as in all things, and
from the other teachers with whom she
associates she has won both respect and
admiration, not altogether u~nmingied

dark, meditative brows have a certain
imperious grandeur that inpresses

to another. and let them not come into
Thy righteousness.
LET them be wiped of the book
of the living, and not DO written among
tho righteous
And on great days of Jewish festival,
when the whole school is assembled at
solemn prayer teachers with them,
every heart is moved and every soul
stirred by the pure sound of a perfect
voice that floats through the stiffness,
singing with the triumph and sweetness

"And hath delivered MS from our
enemies, for His mercy endureth for

"'Oh, give thanks unto the God of
heaven. for His mercy endureth for

there is any touch of penitence in this
exulting song of Miriam. Fol those

tobacco Indian corn and wheat.
Long ages ago two Indian youths,
pursuing the pleasure Of the chase,
were led to a remote and unfrequehleu
part Of tho forest, where, being tatlsueu
aud hungry, they sat down to rest
themselves and prepare food.
While they were thus employed the
sDirit OF the woods, attracted, it is sup
posed by the unusual and savory smell
Of the vension, approached them in the
form of a beautiful girl, and seated
herself beside them. The youths, being
struck with gratitude for the conde-
scension which she had shown them IN
becoming their guest, presented her
I'm the most respectful with a
share of their repast, which she was
pleased to accept with seeming salts
faction.
The repast, being finished, the spirit,
having thanked them cordially for their
attention and informed them that IL
they would return to the same place
inter the passing of twelve moons, they
would find something that would
recompense their kindness, disappeared
from their sight.
The youths having counted the
moons. and having returned at the APP
pointed time, found that upon the place
on which the right arm of the goddess
had reclined an ear of Indian corn had
sprung up. from the place where her
left arm had been a spring of wheat,
and from the spot on which h had
been seated was growing a hourishing
plant Of tobacco.
