THE AGE OF PA PER.

In Boston now they advertise paper Baits of clothes at sixty-two and a half cents a suit. This is cheap enough, thongh if a person wearing one of them should get caught in the rain, we imagine ho would feel still cheaper. They ought to be cool and comfortable, especially if they are made of brown wrapping paper, but they would hardly keep their shtpe with the thermometer at ninety-five and one hundred. We are not informed what kind of paper they are made of, but they might oethe means of disseminating a cheap literature one could wear a small volume, so that be that runs could read. It would be economical to have the suits printed on both sides, so that they could be turned the second day, and a person could in this way wear a serial through the week, "to be continued" being stamped on the coat tail. On Sunday he could put on good clothes, with a sermon, or religious extracts from the secular papers, printed on them. There is no end to the variety in costume that can be attained in the use ot paper, or to the good that can be done, liusiness men will come down to their offices in the morning in a suit Of the morning daily, cool and fresh and sure that they have the latest, be cause the telegraphic news will be on their banks. They will thus be the means of spreading information wher ever they go to non-subscribers. Summer clothing will not hereafter get out ot style, but It will get out of date, for a man's old suit will be at once recog nized. Instead of being pointed at as wearing old clothes, ho will be noted as wearing old news. Wo are evidently only just in the beginning of our discoveries of the use of paper.—[Christian Union.

FASHION.

The Tendon I^uncet says: Fashion kills more than toil or sorrow. Obedicnco to fas ion is a greater transgression of the laws of Woman's naturo, floater injury to lier physical and mental constitution than the hardships of poverty and neglect. The slave woman at her task still lives and crows old, and seos two or three generations of her mistress pass away. The washerwoman, with scarcely aray of hope to cheer her in her toils, will live to see her fashionablo sisters all extinct. Tho kitchen maid is hearty and strong, when her lady has to be nursed like a sick baby. It is a sad truth that fash-lon-pamperod women are worthless for all good ends of lite they have but little forco of character tht*y have still less power of moral will, and unite as little physical energy. They livo for no groat ends. They are dolls, formed in the hands of milliners and servants, to bo fed to order. If they have children, servants and nurses do all but concoivo and givo them birth and when reared, wliut are they? What do thoy amount to but woak scions of tho old stock Who evor heard of a fashionablo woman's child exhibiting any virtue and power of mind for which ft becamo eminent? Head tho biogra-

{s'oue

hlos

of our good men and women, of them had a fashionablo mother.

Amvr ton years ago a young American from New York, Waltor Hastings by namo, dining in company with Lord expressed the opinion that solitary confinement in a dark coll was not so dreadful a punishment as had been roprosonted. Ills Lordship— so goes tho singular talo*—offered Hastings ton thousand pounds If ho would undergo ontlro seclusion for tou years. Tho proposition being agreod to, a coll was filled up in Lord 'a town house, it was from twelve to fifteen foot square. Tho prisoner was to bo allowed caudles, a foto books, writing materials, plain food—the latter served bv a in.in not to bo seen. In this way Hastings has boon living for a docade of years, his term expiring about the first of tho prosent mouth. Ho is now releasod, and has received, wo su pose, his hard-oarnod money emerges from his dungeon In rather dilapidated condition. appearing though only thirty-live, llko a man of sixty-five years of ago, his frame BtoMplng and his st«ps tottering, his face sallow, his hair and board white, his yolco tremulous and his speech hesitating. He is coming directly to America. Such is the story repoated by tho New York Tribune, which intakes it the subject or an editorial.

SOME very curious discoveries have plbeeii made by medical gentlemon in est tho servlcoof life insurance companies.

Thoy say: Tho children of long-lived parents live a llttlo longer than the parents. It only one is long-llvod, and the other is from a stock with less vital force, thou the children have a 'sort of division of vitality among •them. One will live to bo very aged.

while another falls considerably short 'of the life period of tho shortest-liv

5parent.

Wnen a child arrives at the

age at which either parent dies, aside from accidental cause, it will become indis|tosod, gradually sicken and may die. If it survives that time, it may pass through a similar state of vital disturbances on or about tho anniversary of the other paront's death, but if that 6s passed, some years moro may be safely predicted as a life-lease lor the Individual.
