Why Men Wear Trousers.

No living man Of this age ever de-
liberately chose to "adopt trousers.
he was forced into them and all other
eccentricities Of dress by woman. In
the very earliest sartorial experience
of every man he is swathed in queer
bundle Of incoherent bandages by q
woman. Later she puts him into cute
little dresses so that the neighbors
can't tell him from his little sister.
Still later she cuts off his curls and
puts him into knickerbockers, and he
puts on 'long pants when she gives
the word and not before. That Is all
that man has to do or ever had to do
with wearing trousers. Woman forced
him into them in the first place, and
now he is afraid to wear anything else
for fear of making sensation.-Provi-
dence Journal.

Disfranchisement is one Of the pc.

Of the realm suffers. Lord Salisbury

claim on the ground that time had

Bedlam.

The word "bedlam" is corruption
of the word bethlehem" and originat-
ed as synonym for chaos at the time
when the house Of Bethlehem, occup-
pied by sisterhood of London, be-
came an insane asylum. The treat
ment of the insane in the early part Of
the sixteenth century was not we'll un-
derstood, and, according to the theo-
ries then prevalent, it was necessary
to frighten the patient out of his lu-
macy. All sorts of awful expedients
were resorted to-, among them ''sur-
prise foors," which slipped from under
the feet: "surprise baths'' and fog
gings at the periods Of most severe ILL.,
ness; hence the name "bedlam," the
result Of incorrect spelling, possibly,
came easily to stand for awful things.
