"Bill had on a silk bat and black salt this morning." This was the salutation which reaohed T. T.'a ears and he Mid: "Silk hat and black snit! Well, what of it? Any number of people wear silk bats, and certainly a black suit is not suoh a rare thing as to make a fuss over." "Yes, but Bill never wears a stovepipe, and always dresses in light." 80 it wasn't the dlWfrat nor the light suit, but the fact that Bill had made a ubange In his aitff# lhat attract* «d attention and provoked comment. When the new adit is exchanged is a year or two for one of the old sort, somebody will say "Bill had on a soft hatand alight suit this morning." A new dnn, a abange, even if it be not becoming, attracts attention. Bill ihigbt have met a hundred friends on the street a$d been recogoiiedity each, and forgotten as soon as passed, but for bis new clothes. But with these, and on account of them, every one remarked meeting him, and how he looked, and told somebody else, and this led to other"conversation about this particulp Bill. Well, what of i|T Nothfng In particular, only It i&tiHhd&T. T. that a little change in drees often doos for ideas what Bill's change did for him. It isn't so much what a man says, or what one reads that make* an impression, as the way in which it Is pyt, the dress into which it is put, T. T. was struok with this the other day when he came across an old idea in this form, "Early piety la better than a late parous plaster." T.T. would not have remembered for a moment reading that "A stitch in time saves nine," or that "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,* fcit when some wit put the same thought into early piety versus porous plaster, T. T. couldn't forget it—till he had written an artiole about it.

EARLY PIETY VERSUS LATE PLASTER.

EARLY PIETY

Is inteiide^Wprevent that which poroua plasters are made to cute. But the difficulty is to make common humanity see the point, appreciate It, and act upon it. All hands give the "go-by" to early piety and tbf n, from necessity, take the late porous plaster And if the plaster would always do the work them would be less cause of complaint.. But T. T. has been mskiag a note of some who have passed away during the laat year or two 1n Ter^Raufe, and then looking over the list ofr those who are hobbling about, and be And* that tbe audden deaths, some of them, and the invalids* bankrupts, and drunkards, many of them, have reaped, or are reaping, the harvest of a sowing which a fair amount of discretion in early days would ha?? prevented. And there are 1»L*NTY OK BOYS Going the same way now* Hold on* Early piety, or early decency, or early dlacretlln, o* Wb^t»ver, j£u|chooae to call it, is b|Uer|th|aj£ pjA^^laater, or late reformation, or late cure or whatever you choose to call it. This advioe given and aeoepted ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago would have sapred Terre Haute some of its saddest history. There is a Dr. —-1 gofag to the dogs as Cast aa be qao go A first rate physician, with a first rate practice, and everybody iayibg^ ••What a pity that he will th»fT|himself awa^' But

heard some voices to which all used to listenj of whose possessions all used to be pradL Why notf/Bec^sfl§bs^ brilliant lawyers would insist upon doing what the boys are- now doing. Drivelling idiocy, untimely death, or maudlin drunkenness, are too much for the porous piaster, 60 matter In what form it is applied. Early piety, no matter in what form applied, wtould have done the work and saved the victims. If some of tbe merchants of

Terre Haute had depended leu upon tbe late poroua plaster, and more upon early piety, they wouldn't have lived or died bankrupts, nor given up "vlalble means" of support for those made invisible by the honrs of night at whieh they are piled. "What Is he doing 7" is asked. "Nothing," aay his friends with ashamed look, and other people with a knowing look, both plainly indicating that they do not know, or that what tbey do know is no credit to him. He is a gambler. He thinka nobody knows it. But everybody but his wife, and mother, and sisters, know it, and tbey suspect that all ia not right. It is too late for the porous plaster to do any good. And then there's He used to be the most straightforward fellow in Terre Haute. He was popular, trusted, honored. But he Isn't now. What's the trouble? The same old story. Wall street associates were too much for him. He got started, and instead of taking a short turn early, trusted to quit by and by, preferred to rely on the late poroua plaster Instead of early piety, and it's too late for either now. In the shops it is tbe same story. Many a tramp might have had a home and plenty, and been respected.

No one need charge MURPHY With writing this T. T. for he neither did it nor instigated it. And yet it is in his line. True, he is trying to get some of the old beads to put on the late porous plaster, but it is only because that ia the only thing they can do now. But hia strong hold is in efforts to induce the boys to try early piety. Take hjs advice, and let liquor alone before the tables are turned and tbe question is not whether you will let liquor alone, but whether liquor will let you alone. A late porous plaster, even in the shape of a pledge, does not always loosen its grip, but early piety, in the shape of good sound temperance principles, will do the work every time.

A Woman's Opinions,

MODJESKA AND CAMILLK.

It seemed as if all Terre Haute had assembled on Monday evening to behold this world renowned actress. Of her ability there can be but one opinion—it is of tbe very highest order. It would be almost impossible to make any criticism, every attitude and gesture were so nearly perfect. Her language had very little of the foreign accent, and it seems marvelous that she coold have mastered our tongue in so shog a time. Modjeaka is not a beautiful woman. She is a brunette, with rather too heavy eyebrows, and an exceedingly large mouth. Her figure is exquisite, tall and shapely with lovely neck and arms every motion is foil of grace, and the ladles all declare that the way she managed her train was beyond any comprehension. Her cos tumes were all lovely, even the dressing robe in tbe last act was not to be laughed at, although a number of men and boys in the audienoe seemed to think it was. Almost any woman would oonaent to be slok, if she might wear a white cashmere gown with angel sleeves, and covered with silk embroidery, to say nothing of having a real laoe scaif tied around one's bead. During the evening an ordinary looking little fellow, with heavy mustache and slouched' hat, loupged about the outskirts of the crowd, and was pointed out aa "Modjeska's husband." Just after he passed down stairs, a most passionate love soene between Armand and Camille took place on tbe stage, and some a/ tbe Irreverent boys remarked that tbey "didn't wonder he got but before that." Modjeaka is a superb actress, and Since tbe people go in crowds to bear ''Camille," it is not surprising that she, selects this play but, aside from the opportunities it affords for magnificent acting, too much cannot be said in its oondemnation. It is immoral from beginning to end tbe lessons it teaches are immoral, and all its effects are immoral. It has but one redeeming feature—the sacrifice of Camille but In the drama of real life, enacted around us day by day, we may see nobler sacrifloes than the dne sbS made. She gave up a man over whom she bad no control, save that he cherished a "grande passion" for her, as the French say. Through her love for him she returned to a life which ahe really had never abandoned. This wonderful love extended only over a period of a few months, entirely too short a time to prove its oonstaney—bat there was plenty of it whileit lasted.

More delightfully real hugglfi| *Bd kissing oould not very well be compressed la the sams length of time.

Wby ia it that in these love scenes the woanran always appears so fascinating and tb? lover so dreadfully soft Tbe audience always gaze entranced at her protestations of never dying affieotidh, but, when he commences in the same strain, thei-e is a Strong desire to groan

or

laugh, or do something in derialob. There was much indignation among the feminine portion of the crowd when the father was entreating Camille to give up his son to savs this son's good name and honor. "As if she wasn't just as good as he or his father, either/' they ex* ix

elalmed. This is woman's cry in sueh oases, and yet when it comes to a practical illustration of these theories there ia nobpdy on earth will make auoh a vaat distinction in the treatment of the two ssxes as thess same illogical creatures. And at last poor, passionate, noble-hearted CamtUe dies. What elae oould she do? Had she married Armand and lived the life of an angel, the doors of society would be forever shut and barred against her. Because abe did her sinning before she waa married inetead of afterward. Even Armand'himself would have tired of her, been auaplclous, jealous and finally impatient to be rid of a wife toward whom the world pointed the Anger of soorn. So she died and left him her-memory, to hide in his heart and cherish in secret where he would not be ashamed of his love.

There is no moral In this play. The aoenes are laid amid all the glitter and allurements of vice the actors are those who inhabit and frequent these hannts. It is not thus that sin should be pictured, If indeed it should be portrayed at all. The atage ennoblea only by awakening and stimulating the noble sentiments of tbe heart. It is the heighth of imprudence to picture a fallen woman as robed in silks and orowned with jewels, for this is but the first act in a tragedy whose end is poverty and disgrace and ruin. There is no refuge for such women but the one which received in its em* braoe the unhappy Camille, the portals of death. They do not want to reform, and one cannot blame them when he eonaldera how little there is left for tbem in the world. Of all suoh converts made during the Hammond revival and wept over and prayecLover and rejoiced over, I am creditably informed, that not one has remained true to her promises. It is said that women themselves are more severe against these frail creatures than men are. Tbey have aright to be. It is their sex which is disgraced, it is their sex which canst bear the reproach, the ridicule, the ignominy. If women advocate Increasing the avenues of reform for their laboring sisters they are reminded that the more publicity women have the more they will be talked aboqt and tbe more cause there will be for it. If tbey advocate Uciversal Suffrage they are told at onee that these Improper characters will assume control and disgraoe the whole sex. Virtuous women, when in public, have to be constantly on their guard, lest by some inadvertent action they may be mistaken for one of the erring sisterhood.

When women are constantly annoyed and mortified by such things as these, It is no wonder they despise the cause of it all, yet in any movements leading to the reclaim of these creatures, women are always the most active workers, though their success ia very discouraging. They pity while they condemn, and although the depths seem very great, still tbey are willing to lend a helping hand to the reecue.

I never could see why women wers expeoted to hate gambling and intemperanoe and ail the vices men are addicted to, and yet look with leniency upon the Worst sin of all because it happened to be committed by their own sex.

Ladies are also greatly blamed for reoeiving men in society and trampling women under foot. There ia perhaps too much of this done. In many instances both should be excluded, bnt, after all, tLey are not both on the aame level, A man may sin in this one manner, and yet be an exemplary dtteen in every other. He ifiay be talented, a brilliant talker, a good business man, benevolent, kind, in short, possessed of every quality to make his companionship desirable because of this one failing, would It be advisable to exclude bim entirely?

With a womiri thelkfee lrfbtlrely different. Losing her purity, she loses everything. 8be very seldom has any qualifications left which reoommend her to society. They sank with her selfrespect. I do not wish to be understood as excusing the one or condemning the other, but only as taking a common sense view of the eass. Virtue, to a woman, is what businsss Integrity is to a man,—once lost it cannot be restored. We must depend upon women to keep up tbe moral standard of society, for men will notHorttrTbls itnot a difficult thing to do a word, look, i* all the protection she needs, and if ahe fall to give tbeee, she knows t$e oonaequencea and abe must abide by tbem.

Women ought to realise tbe responsibility that rests with them, and assume it without hesitation. They make the moral laws and It is to tbem the world looks to see tberie laws enforced. They are both legislator and executive, and they should bring to these offices the highest degree of virtue and wisdom.

My little chat about Modjeeka has drifted tato much that I did not mean to aay, bat perhapa it may not be amiss to leave Just as written.

BO It A RAILROAD PROTECTED A WOMAN. Cumberland Aileghanian.

Tbe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company discharged a young man from its employ, at Grafton, last week, because be refused to marry a young lady he bad seduced. Good for the oompany

Feminitcms.

It haa been discovered by a close observer that hen-pecked husbands are invariably men with hairless lips. It takes a qHHaohe

a^e

female.

The late husband, when he finds that somebody baa stolen tbe keyhole out of bis door and diffidently rings tbe bill, knows exactly who "The Coming Woman" is.

A policeman at ftacine, Wis., arrested a woman for walking the streets in male attire at the atation bouse she proved to be his own wife. She bad been watching him. ^I

While a Massachusetts man wag on his knees praying, hls.insane wife killed him. The idea that be waa wearing out bis panta at the knees was more than her brain oould stand.

A Council Bluffs girl, on suicide intent, aaked for morphine in a drug store. The olerk suspected her purpose, and aoldhera powerful emetic. She returned an hour afterward, expreesed her opinion of. a man who would deceive a distracted girl in that way, and demanded her money back.

The women of Massachusetts are competent to take a philosophic view of the most perplexed problems. When one of them waa informed that there were more women than men in the State at onoe replied that tbe fact was in accordance witb the scientific doctrine of the ••aurvival of tbe fitteet."

Girls are advised by a Chicago phyaioian to always sleep on their backs if they wish to keep crow's feet from the corners of their eyee. "These blemishes," he (says, "are the reenlt of aleeplng on tbe sides. The pressure upon the temple and cheeks leave wrinkles at tbe corners and underneath the eyes which disappear in a few.hours, but finally beoome so fixed that neither hours nor pblutlons will abate them."

What is the cure for gossip Simply culture. There is a great deal of gossip that has no malignity in it. Good natured people talk about their neighbors, because they have nothing else to talk about. Tbe confirmed gossip is always either malicious or ignorant. Reading ia a safeguard against gossip. People who can talk of books, do not have to talk of persons. When you see a family, in which literary magazines and newspapers are, you see one where there is little gossip. *.

Old Mrs. Staok sold two glasses of cider to neighbors in Northfield, Vt., thus violating the Prohibitory Liquor law of that State. A spy had her arrested, his motive being to get his legal share of the fine, which was, in this case, fixed at |20. Mrs. Staok could not pay, being very poor, and a heartlees constable carried her to jail on a cold day in an open sleigh, although she was thinly dressed and seriously ill. Her daughter borrowed the money to pay the fine, but Mrs. Staok died a few hours after her release, her death being the direct result of the cruelty to whieh she had been subjected.

The locomotive muscles are entirely dependent on atimulus. We onoe saw a young lady reclining on a sofa witb such a languid air that we felt almost sure she waa suffering from incipient paralyais. The next day abe was slowly walking across a green pasture,picking a flower here and there as though the effort was terribly exhauating. Suddenly, however, there loomed up In front of her, and in her immediate vicinity, a creature witb horns. With slow and measured step lie advanced, and then catching sight of a red shawl he filled the air with a clarion note of defiance. Tbe looomottve muscles of that languid maiden were galvanised into spasmodic action. She ran twenty yards with tbe speed of a gaselle and then climed qver a five-rail fence with a rapidity that was startling. What we need in this life la Impulse, and when we have enongh of it we eim accomplish wonders.

It has long been a matter of regret 'to fod& women who hfcve afheart especially the Interests of their own sex, and who feel the need of money to found iastitutions for tfceir benefit, that wealthy women so frequently leave tbeir money to inatltutlons for boys and young men only. The bequeqfa made to Harvard, Yale, and other colleges, to the various theological seminaries and similar institutions that offer advantages to one sex only, have long been painful proof of tbe partiality of women to the interests of the male youths of the oountry, and have ahown a very reprehensible went of interest ia the needs and" struggle* of their own sex. In pleasing contrast with, this old custom comes the news that a wealthy woman of Davenport, Iowa, 'Mrs. Clarissa C. Cook, whose win baa just been admitted to probate, has, left |00,000 to found a home for destitute women in that city. Like many other good things that originate In tbe West it is to be hoped that the example will commend itself to wealthy women in the East who are preparing to shuffle off this mortal coll, and who have money to leave for tbe benefit of humanity.

j# Scraps of Style,

Spring bonnets will be low with soft crowns. Fashion ordains thai frock coats be worn shorter.

The new fan is of mother of £earl and satin and ooete f20. Black kid glovee buttoned with small pearts are novelties.

A novelty and a luxury is the perfumed glove the odor is made delicate and lasting.

Paniersare certainly coming in vogue but as yet tbe panier is not tbe Marie Antoinette version of that style of drees.

Lace gloves with fingers aawell aa with long wrists will be worn in the spring, as well as laee mitta and half fingered laoe gloves.

The new lisle thread gloves are aeen in all the kid colors and pure white tbey are allk finish and "regular" made, imitating kid so well as to be preferred for full dress wear.

Light summer allies, which will be much employed for street suits, hsve chinchilla stripes, or narrow, clouded chine stripes set close together on brown, cardinal, garnet, blue, and other colored grounds.

It is fashion in Paris now for the groom to supply three dreeses of the trousseau, viz: a traveling dress, a visiting dress, and a reception dress. The bride either supplies, the others or goes without, 'iajf

Ostr|ch feathers are down. At Grahams town, in South Africa, perfect white feathers can- be l?ad for |725 a pound, fine white plumes for 9200* black ones for sbout |70, and dr^b jand. fenpy colors for 20. '^1'

A quaint novelty among cotton goods for spring and summer dreeses is called mummy clotb, and resembles in its rough printed surface the mummy cloth upon which tidies and covers are embroidered. The choice designs come in soft faded colors, suoh as pale blue with olive In stripes, one of which has sprays of flowers upon it. p,

The imitation diamonds nude of Rhine pebbles are now used in Paris lor many purposes. There are not only diamond buttons, mounted like solitaire, or clusters, but buckles for the shoes and belts in all cOnoeivable designs. There are also fastenings for necklaces and bracelets of velvet, and very small buckles to fasten the ribbon loops which are placed down the front of dreeses and on the lower part of sleeves. Ear rings, crosses, and ornamental pins are also msde of theee stones.

The first importation of spring bonnets consist of soft English straws, fine smooth chips, and rough chips, in ivory white, beige brown, gray and black. Tbe shapee are quite large, with ample square crown, with broad brim, that flares widely above the forehead, but clings closely to the sides. These are similar to the Clarisaa Harlowe shapes that were introduced last yiar lor summery gypfiy-like bonnets, and have been repeated for very dressy hats during the winter. |^AOHOOL EXAMINATIONS

Baltimore Every Saturday.

It is a question that bss preeented itself quite seriously to many parents in this ttty, whether the system of examinations aa pursusd at oar publio achools ia calculated to serve the purpose for which It Is deeigned. It is hardly wiss to measure the capacity of ayoangehtM for promotion in his cQsssss oy an "examination." It would be better to rely on bia average standing in hie classes during the term. For there are many children who are exceedingly nervous under an ordeal of this kind. Things the most familiar become confused and vague in tbeir mlnda. Geography, grammar and history get tangled in their memoriee, and the young intellect beoomee like a tabula reaa, whereon ail things are blank. Some boys who when oeol are pretty good in arithmetic, forget tbeir multiplfcation tibiae on sxamination. A teacher knowe perfectly well the standing and the capacity of each member of the class. The observation of week after week upon tbe progress of tbe pupil is a mueb more trustworthy criterion of his status than the aaswess which he may give to a series of que** Uons at examination. To aay this system is unwise Is to eondemn it utterly. That it ie painful to the children is well known. They usually look forward to examinations with terror. There is another bad feature about it. It often leads delicate children to ever exert them* selvee by "cramming" for tbe examination. They find tbat bygoing over the whole- book, or auch part ortt are to be examined on, they can make a

1 they

show at the trial and get through. Now this is not only of no benefit in a plan of education, but ia even a positive drawback. It is by no means an uncommon thing' for an animal that might have becomoa splendid hors* to be foundered as aeoit. One single strain may spoil a hesse on* single strain may ruin a child. In fact, however theee "examinations" of young children may be viewed, tbey area fraud.

A 'flSan professes religion when be ebnfefcees that he is 9 sinner he possesses religion wberi he succeeds in keeping his good resolutions, and he is hypocrite when be borrows along face to cheat his neighbors withal.

Excitement In religion Is like a delicate and delicious .perfume which is soon dissipated but a solid religious conviction is like musk, which perfumes the life forever.

"ENGAGED."

When a girl is known to be engaged, observes a writer in the Lady's Journal, she immediately becomes an object of sentimental intereet to all her lady friends, and, at the same time, finds the men cesse to be afraid of her, and pay an amount of attention to whioh she has hitherto been unsocustomed, She can refuse a disagreeable partner at a ball, as she has a name available for all blanks on her card. She bae the use of an escort without scandal, and if she likes it, she may wear out ber old clothes, aa her trosseau is supposed to be in progress.

But men have none of theee advantages, and to them the term of engagement is generally tedious enough. They may not flirt, and tbey find presents more expensive than their tailor. Constsnt bringing and carrying beoomes monotonous, and they soon notice a great falling off in the number of invitations to dinner.

Pretty young ladles no longer smile upon them, but quietly relinquish them to their idols, while they bestow tbeir favor elsewhere. The male lover has to bear all the irksomenees of the situation. He haa early used up his stock of pretty pbraaes.

He begins to grow critical about his drees and manners, sensitive to the im-

Eis

reesion his beloved msy make upon Mends, and having exhausted the round of prenuptial blisr, will begin to oool in his ardor unless he is delicately handled, and the difficult road to fnatrimony carefully smoothed for him.

From this stste of things frequently arises that dangerous pastime—lever's quarrels.

But tbe young lady who resorts to this stimulant must be very sure of her lover, or he will escape ber.

Quarrels, in some esses, may renew love but not often. It faot it may be a serious question whether quarrel is really efficacious, because if it is not perfectly real it may be final.

We cannot reoommend quarrela. then, even with high classical authority in their favor.

''BAD, CHEAP LITERATURE.' The publishers of the wretched stuff which gets into the handaof tbe boj and girla of tbe land, cannot be direo reached. Tbey take good care to keep on tbe safe ride of tbe law. But their great sales are made through the small dealers. These are within tbe reach of moral force. They live ia communities where tbey are known, and thev have a care to preserve a reputation. Many of them think little of the matter. Newspapers and periodicals are to them only so. much merchandise. Tbey are not aware of tbe barm they do.

Now it is in tbe powor of good people to make these sales disreputable. They must ssy frankly that they will withhold all custom from the dealer who

repuu they will with-

exposea Polioe Gazette, Days' Doings— the Illustrated Timea, and tbe like, on their counters. If these are to be bought anywhere, it must be only at stands which are beneath suoh influence. Tbe parents and teachers can draw the line. They can say to their children, "You must not buy anything at such and such places." The barm now comes from tbe fact that side by side with tbe best periodicals of tbe day, all this trash is exposed in reputable shops.

Many of these dealers are members of religious societies. Tbey must be made to understand that the sale of suoh matter is inconsistent with their christian professions, and that they cannot keep their standing and continue to sell, especially to boya and girl*, tbe wretched rnbblab they do.

The traffic can thus be driven Into holes and oorners. and be made unprofitable aawell as disreputable, and those who have the care of the young can exercise a greater control over the reading whioh oomea into house and school.

Where respectable dealers know the loss of all respectable custom will follow tbe diaplay of bad books and papere on their counters, they will take eare not to order them.

Nor will it work any inoonvsnienoe to enforce this. Anyone may obtain by mail any periodicals needed. Tbe publics are not dependent on the dealers. Tbey area convenience, but tbey must not oe suffered to he a source of mischief."

FEAR OF THE PAPERS?* I JMwt Cincinnati Saturday Night.

We are no champion for that extreme licenae of tbe press that is sometimes'displayed, but we have noticed that the Onee who cry the loudest against newspaper disclosures are generally those wboee own lives and acts would not bear very close inspection.
