DON'T GIRLS

SOME THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE DONE.

Dan't give your picture to that young man who is only an acquaintance. What if he does plead lor it tenderly adroitly flattering the sweet mouth and mischief-loving eyes he has no right to it, unless he truly cares for you. Wait until you know before you let him bear it off. The picture may be passed around a gay circle of his companions, inviting remarks, not too choice on the original, or it may be triumphantly exhibited as a proof of your devotion.

Don't look upon every young man you meet as a probable husband, and set your cap forthwith.

Don't despise father's and mother's injunctions in regard to associates. They are older and wiser than you. their experience is valuable, and if ycu would heed tbeir counsels, you could never rue it. They love you too well to deprive you of pleasant and safe society ana companionship.

Don't pain the mother's heart by vot ing home stupid and slow. Maybe mother has found it so for long years and haB looked forward hopefully to the time when a loving daughter would brighten it. Do what you can to cheer her lot and your own will Toe none did ilftrkor^

Don't fairly dote on that "lovely moustache," when it is all the owner has anyhow. It won't compensate in the long run for either brains, muscle or principle, to say nothing of the three.

Don't scold. It is a bad habit and one easily formed. Don't believe that father must gratify every extravagant desire of his daughter, don't insist upon the purchase of that sew silk at the expense of a needed overcoat for himself.

Don't tell the younger members of the lamily that they are nuisances, plagues, etc. Don't give them occasion to say with bitterness, "I hate older sisters."

Don't go about the house in the morning 011 crimping pins, a torn dress and slip-shod shoes—you are to young to be a slattern and on the other hand, don't be primped up in so much finery that "ou can't assist in hosehold tasks. One

the number are useful and valued members of society, and there are few among them who would not willin their peculiarities for a husband.

Don't turn scavenger and sweep up all the street refuse on your trailing skirts.

Don't lace your corsets so tight you can't ran up and down stairs. It shortens your days, is the fruitful cause of much ill-health, and ruins your complectlnn.

Don't find so much fault with the servants. They appreciate a kind word. Your ruffled skirts and fluted dresses will come from the laundry looking nicer aud fresher next week if you will give the girl what praise you can this week instead of censuring her.

Don't sneer at that young man, or pass him 011 the street without even a noa of recognition, because his coat is threadbare nnd rusty. It shows at least, that Me is not in debt to his tailor.

Don't indulge in handkerchief flirtation. It is beneath any respectable girl. Don't turn with scorn from the poor. They are your fellow-beings, not unworthy God's creation, and assuredly not unworthy your sympathy and aid.

Don't think it lady-like to lisp and mince aud simper. Affectation never commanded either respect or friendship.

Don't cross the street to avoid recognising a young man who carries his tools on his shoulder. There is not half the dangor of bis being imprisoned for forgery or embezzlement as there is of such a fate overtaking the young bank clerk you greeted so cordially a few minutes since.

Don't think that you are privileged to make saucy remarks beoause you are young, piquant and bright. It is just as rude and illbred as in any one else.

Don't complain when father and mother call on you for aid. Consider all they have done and all they are doing for you.

Don't think a young man's wits are bright because his boots are well polished. Some now-a-days put all the

flitter on their boots and jewelry, their brains in a complete net of cobwebs and dust.

THE COM IN O LEG.

Mr. Alden, of the New York Times, treats a delicate subject as follows: "The leg is undoubtedly one of the most difficult parts of the human body, for a perfect leg is among tbe rarest works of nature. Of course, tbiw remark is limited to the visible legs of tbe male aex, since it is obviously-impossible to obtain any data concerning that large class of esoteric legs, tbe very existence of which is conventionally ignored, and can only be hinted at by the conscientious anatomist, when the interests of science demand such a sacrifice of personal feeliQK. A Baltimore man assures us that tbe human leg is about to undergo startling and painful changes. Tbe next generation will be knockkneed, and its children will add to this peculiarity that of bowleggedness. Tbe leg of

lower leg will each have a bold curve outward, and tbe knees will be in close proximity. A more varied and objeotionable style of leg has never been

{00k

laced

before the public, and we can not forward to it without dismay. The cause which is thus to blight tbe legs of our innocent desoendants ls tbe present fashion of female dress. The Baltimore person asserts that the extremely narrow skirts now in use bring the knees of the women into close proximity, and produce the deformity popularly known as 'knock knee.' What with the nar-row-aklrt wearers of this generation is an acquired deformity, will be a congenital

deformity in the next generation. The vast majority of children born since tbe introduction of narrow skirts, knock their wretched little knees together from the day of their birth, and a comparatively straight legged child under three years of age is, our Baltimore authority assures us, very rarely seen. "This is an alarming picture, and it deserves our serious attention. If the Baltimore anatomist's premises are right his conclusions must be admitted, and we must recognize the fact that the legs of the future are in imminent peril. But is it absolutely certain that his premises are trustworthy? His whole argument rests upon the alleged fact that a class of legs of which the average man neither knows nor can know anything, are so confined by the narrowness of the modern skirt, that their assumed knees are kept in close contact. Now it is, to say tbe least, highly improbable that the Baltimore man is an expert in this matter, and that he bas been able to collect data which have hitherto "been beyond the reach of scientific men. His assertion in regard to the unknown knees of which he speaks so coolly and confidently is directly contradicted by Prof. Harkness, of the Smithsonian Institution, who, in his able paper entitled 'A New Theory of the Narrow Skirt,' maintains, with much plausibility, that the effect of the skirt is to force one knee immediately behind the other, so that the hypothetical legs are placed, so to speak, in column instead of line. Although the Professor expressly admits that his theory is a conjectural one, lacking proper data for its foundation, it is apparently entitled to quite as much credit as that of the Baltimore anatomist, unless the latter has really accumulated data of which be makes no mention."

DEATH BY FREEZING.

A PHYSICIAN'S CONDEMNATION OF THE CUSTOM OF PREMATU KEL PLACING CORPSES ON ICE.

THE VITAL SPARK OFTEN EXTIN GUISHED THROUGH AN UNDERTAKER'S GREED.

H'ew York Herald.

The telegram in the Herald on Frida from Ottowa, Ont., saying that a small pox patient in one of the hospitals of that city had to all appearances died, and was about being buried at the cemetery, when be groaned and came to life again, created much comment among the physicians of this city. Dr. E. Vanderpoel, wht lives at No. 42 West Twenty-sixth street, said he wa9 particularly struck with the case because it reminded him of experiences in his own professional life which had made so deep an impression on him that he had publfcly and privately protested against the modern custom introduced by the undertakers of putting bodies on ice before there was official proof of death. He considered it a scandal to the undertaking profession, an outrage to society aud an insult to the patient's family that, for the sake of collecting an exorbitant fee of $40, the undertaker did not await the arrival of a doctor's certificate of death before he froze the remains. "Suppose," said Mr. Yanderpoel, ."that the Canada man who was supposed to have died of smallpox had lived and been taken ill in this city, his life would never have returned at the cemetery, for it would have been frozen out of him long before he reached the grave. In reading about this case I thought of a certain Brooklyn patient of mine who died in 1872. She was forty-five years old and the widow of a well known doctor of divinity. She had an attack of dysentery and bad been lying ill four or five days with a fever, but her condition was not dangerous, although it was assuming a typhotd form. I called in to see her one day at one o'clock and returned again at five o'clock on the Bame day, when, to my profound surprise and indignation, she was lying in an ice box down stairs partially frozen. The undertaker had committed this atrocity without any medioal certificate of her death, and he had no official knowledge that she had died at all. I found that after be had left she arose from her bed and fainted while walking across the floor from sheer weakness, and because she lay there motionless the children thought she was dead so, instead of sending for me to come and make an examination, they ran for the undertaker. He responded with like promptitude, bringing in his mortuary box full of pounded ice, and in a short time she was frozen stiff. Every part of her body, except her face, was covered with ice. I believed then, and I always shall believe, that she might have revived had the proper means been employed for her resuscitation.

TRAGIC CASKS.

"I attended," said the same gentleman, "another patient in Thirty-fourth street, in 1874. She was a wealthy lady, about fifty years old, and her house was but five doors from my own. She was

fierfectly

fferiod

well at 6 o'clock in the even-

ng. She went to bed as usual. In the night she was taken ill and I was called over to the house by another doctor, for consultation, at 6 o'clock in the morning. After doing what we could I left at 7 to finish my toilet and to get some breakfast. The other doctor also retired soon afterward, as he found he could be of no immediate service. I returned at 9:30 o'clock, and found her, not in bed, but in tbe back parlor inclosed in an undertaker's ice chest. From what#I knew of the character of her case it was one in which returning consciousness would be almost certain to follow a

of apparent sinking away of life, there ever Was a case of suspended animation, that should have been one. The undertaker!? excuse was that mortification might set in, when he ought to have known that it takes twelve hours for animal life to leave the body after death and before decomposition can set in. On Nov. 10 of this year I was called to attend Mrs. De Forest, who lived in Twenty-fourth street, near Seventh avenue. She was forty-five years old, aud had been sinking for two days from a cancerous affection which bad troubled her for a long time. I left her at halfpast one o'clock in tbe afternoon to go homo for lunch. When I returned at half-past four o'clock she was down stairs in an ice box. and as unsal tbe undertaker had pat his victim away to freeze before there was any proof that she was dead. I told him tnat he ought to be sent to the State prison. These cases were of so grave an aspect that I wrote to the board of health on tbe subject and sent them a detailed statement of the cases. They called a special meeting, and Dr. Smith, of Forty second street, said that something ought to be done. But that was the last I ever beard of It, and to this day these outrages are permitted to continue. Tbe undertaker's plea that bodies cannot be preserved unless they are immediately put away is ice is a mistake. It is a device for making exorbitant fees out of or as el as 4

THREE 8TAGB8 AFTKR DRATH. "After death there are three stages in the prooesses of decomposition," continued Dr. Vanderooei. On tbe first day the features ana tbe flesh are sunken in

and the pallid shade of death is very ghastly. On tbe second day there is an improved look in every respect, and the remains lose apart of tbe pallor of the first day. On the third day the flesh becomes full again, the skin clears up, and the natural hue of life returns to a degree that, in some cases, is almost startling. At tbe end of this period discoloration sets in, and decomposition does its work with great rapidity if the weather be warmer. But these changes can be postponed without difficulty by the proner use of a very little ice on the stomach, and some diluted carbolic acid sprayed into tbe nostrils. In 1818, when the modern ice bexes were unknown, I kept the body of my mother four days in the hottest summer weather of July. My son dropped dead in the street from kidney disease. He was in full health, and I kept tbe remains in fine condition for five days with a simple pan of ice. I was attending on a'poor little girl in Thompsob street. Her mother was so poor that I did Bot charge her anything. When the little sufferer passed away I told the mother that an undertaker would come and order the remains to be put on ice, but I woqld show her how to keep the body until time for burial. It would keep without trouble, for there was no flesh to decay. I left the mother to go to my office for a certificate of death. When I returned the body was on ice, as usual, and the mother told me that the undertaker had come and told her that she must have ti-e remains put into an ice box without delay. She thought it must bo some kind of an official utterance, so she borrowed $10 and gave it to the undertaker before I could return. In cases of poverty like this the undertaker's oharge is $10. From other people they take $40, and such prices are simply outrageous. Why, you can get a whole funeral nowadays, with two carriages, for $25, and without the carriages the charge is only $15. I went to look at some of the coffins for these economical funerals the other day, and they were quite respectable." ^.'50St

FIGHTING FOR A BRIDE. Little Bock Gazette. Jesse Hamon, a man from Scott county, gives us an account of a fight between two young men on the McAndrewsfarm. Two young colored men, Abe Garland and Tom Ross, were very much in love with a maiden. Both were engaged to her and both were determined to marry her. Abe did not know that Tom had gained the girl's affections, and Tom was equally ignorant, while the girl, of course, was pretty well up with the times. The wedding day was appointed. Both men dressed as a bridegroom.

The home of tbe girl was a scene of matrimonial conviviality, such as can only be truly presented at a colored wedding. The two lovers arrived almost simultaneously. Tom, seeing Abe, approached him and said he was very happy to see him there, and extended his hand. All the prejudice melted from Abe's heart, and he grasped the hand of his former riVal and shook it cordially.

The time for the ceremony arrived. The girl all this time had been consulting with her mother. When she came out both men approached her, and when they saw how matters stood, they turned upon each other with tiger like fury.

Here the old gentleman, who had hitherto left matters of arrangement to his wife, approached and said tjgft if the men were going to fight they wbuld have to do so fairly, fie didn't want foul work at his daughter's wedding. It was then agreed that the men should fight with their fists.

The party repaired to the yard, and the matrimonial combatants took tfceir positions. Tbe old man gave the signal and the young men sprang at eaoh other. There was very little physical difference between them, and the combat was interesting. Finally Abe threw Tom. Tom arose. Abe struck him a heavy blow and felled him. This decided tbe fight, and when Tom had been lifted from tbe ground tbe girl came with a basin of water, and while bathing Tom's face, announced to the company that she bad decided to marry tbe whipped man. Then Abe became furious, and swore that he had been whipped, but as he could not prove it, Tom became the husband.

THE COLONEL'S EXPERIMENT.

HOW HIS .QUIET LITTLE GAME OF EUCHRE WITH HIS WIFE RESULTED.

Detroit Free Press.

There are some folks who think it awful wicked for husband and wife to sit down together of an evening and play cards, while others can't see where the barm comes in. "Why," said the Colonel a few days ago when the subject of card playing was under discussion, "does any one pretend that my wife and I can't play a few games of euchre without disputing and arguing and getting mad over it? Loafers can't, perhaps, but we could play for a thousand years and never have a word—yes, we conld."

The others shook tbeir beads in a dubious way, and tbe nettled Colonel went straight to a stationer's and bought the nicest pack he could find. That evening, when- bis wife was ready to sit down to her fancy work, he produced tbe cards, and said: "May, I was told to day that you and I couldn't play cards witboat disputing and getting into a row. Darling, draw up here." "Dearest, we will not have a word of dispute—not one," she replied, as she put away her work.

The Colonel shuffled away and dealt and turned up a heart. "I order it up," she observed, a* she looked over his cards. "I was going to take it up, anyhow," growled tbe Colonel as bis chin fell, all his other cards being black. "Play to that," she said, as she put down the joker. "Who ever heard of any one leading out ib trumps?" he exclaimed. "Why donEt you lead out with an ace "Ob, I can play this band." "You can, eh"? Well, I'll make it the sickest play you ever saw! Ha! took all the tricks, eb! Well, I thought I'd encourage you a little. Give me the cards—it's my deal." "You dealt before." "No I didn't." "Why, yee you did! We have only played one hand." "Well, go ahead and deal all tbe time if you want to 1 I'll make two off your deal, anyhow. What's trump

She turned up a club. He had only tbe nine spot, bnt be scratched bis bead, puckered his mouth and seemed to want to order it up. The bluff didnt work. She took it up and he led an aoe of hearts. "No hearts, eh!" he shouted asjihe trumped it. "Refusing suit is a regular loafer's trick! I'll keep an «ye on you Yes, take it—and that—ana that—and all of 'em! It's mighty queer where you got all of those trumps 1 Stocked the cards on me, did you!" "Now, dear, I played as fair aa could

She passed and he took it up on two small trumps. He took the first trick, she the next two, he the fourth, and when he put out his last trump she had the joker. "Skunked! skunked!" she exclaimed as site clapped her band in glee. "You didn't follow suit!" "Oh, yes, I did."

I knew better, you refused spades!" "But I hadn't any." "You hadn't, eh? Why didn't you have any I never saw a hand yet without at least one spade in it!" "Why, husband, I know how to play cards." "And don't I? Wasn't I playing euchre when you were learning to walk! I say you stocked the cards on me!" "No, I didn't! you area poor player you don't know how to lead!" "I 1 why, maybe I'm a fool, and maybe I don't know anything, and you can play alone and have all trumps every time!"

He pushed back, grabbed his paper, wheeled around to the gas, and it was nearly thirty six hours before he smiled again. Nevertheless, no one else ever had a dispute over cards.

HOW THE 8A VAGES LIVE. The Utes live principally on bread and meat. When they can't get bread they live on meat, and when they can't get meat they live on bread. When they have a great quanity of provisions on hand they eat it all up before getting any more. The same is true when they have a small quantity on hand. They are dirty. They are even very dirty: Their meat is generally permitted to lie about on the ground or any place, Each Indian family possesses any number of dogs from eight to fifteen, and these animals help themselves to meat After they have satisfied themselves, and when the Indians become hungry, they cut from the same piece en which the dogs feed. They generally boil their meat, but sometimes they broil it. They put it in water and let it remain only a few minutes just long enough to heat, when they take it out and begin to eat. They use tbe same water ana the same pail for boiling over and over again, until the water becomes a perfect slime of filth. One pot generally does service for the entire family. This particular pot is a frying pan. when the Utes get out of their bed they wash their faces and bathe the baby in it, after which they bake tbe bread and boil the meat. Then they oat out of the vessel, and then the dogs lick up the leaving. They clothe themselves with skin of animals or with blankets. They generally take a blanket or a akin and cut a bole in the middle of it and throw it over their heads, cutting armholes and fastening the garment at the waist with a wide belt, while they close up the neck with a buckskin string. When the garment wears out they cut the string and let it drop, but not before. Sometimes the Indians will wear as many as five of these garments at a time always keeping the cleanest on tbe outside.

THE BIBLE AND BXJDDHA.

THE FAMOUS JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON OLDER THAN GENESIS.

Schlefner has made public two stories from the canonical books of the Buddhists which bear a strong resemblance to that of tbe famous judgment of Solomon. The first is as follows: "A man took off his boots and left tbem on the shore before be went to batbe in tbe river While he was bathing another man came, took tbe boots, tied them around his neck, and plunged into tbe water. When the first bad bathed he went on shore and looked everywhere for his boots. 'What are you looking for eaid tbe man in tbe water. 'My boots,' he replied. 'Where are your boots,' the other said. 'If you have any, you should tie tbem around your neck before you go into tbe water, as I have done.' Then the first said, 'But tbe boots you have around your neck are mv boots.' Soon a fight arose and they went before tbe king. Tbe king commanded his ministers to settle the dispute but after sitting in judgment the whole day they went home tired in the evening and could not settle anything. Then a clever woman, Visakba by name, when she heard of the lawsuit said, 'What ia tbe use of examining and cross examining? Say to one man "Take this boot," and to tbe other, "Take that boot." Then the real owner will say, "Why should my pair of boots be divided?" But the tnief will aay, "What shall I do with one boot?" The king followed her advice and tbe thief was discovered.

The next story approaches more closely to the judgment of Solomon, and aa the matter in dispute is settled without the cruel order of the king to out the child in two, the Buddhist may even claim a certain advantage over the Somatic story. "A householder bad married a wife, and when their marriage remained childless he married a second. When the second wife became tbe

'VvmA*• I'

mother of a son, she was afraid that the first wife would hate and injure the child, and, out of her love for her son, she agreed with her husband that the first wife should be the reputed mother of the boy. After a time the husband died, and as the housa belonged to the son, the two wives began to quarrel, which of the two should live in the house with the son. At last they went before the king. The king^commanded tbe ministers to settle the dispute, with the usual result that the judges could make nothing of it. Then tke clever woman, Yisakha, came in and said, 'What is the use of examiug and cross examining these women? Tell them that we do not know who the real mother is, and that tbey must settle it for themselves. Let both lay hold of the bov and pull bim with all their might, and whoever can pull hardest can have tbe boy and the house.' When the tussel began the cbilc^ being pulAd very hard, began to cry. Then the true mother let him go, and said, 'Anyhow, if he is not torn to pieces and killed, I shall sometimes be able to see him.' But the other woman tore him away with violence. Then the violent woman was beaten with a rod, and the true mother was allowed to carry off her child."

HOME-MADE HA VAN AS.

SECRETARY THOMPSON SURPRISES GRANT WITH THE POWER OF WABASH TOBACCO.

Washington Cor. Chicago Tinies. Secretary Thompson believes in patronizing home industries. He is one of the most inveterate smokers connected with the Administration. He smokes twelve cigars every day of his life, Be imports them from Indiana. They are strong, rank and crude enough to raise the dead. For fifty years Mr. Thompson has smoked his twelve Indiana cigars a day, and says that, in his opinion they are much more palatable than any of your high priced Havana cigars. These cigars cost him Exactly $1 .20 a day, as the price of this Indiana luxury, of the superior brand smoked by the Secretary is exactly $10 per 100. None of his associates, however, appreciate bis cigars as the Secretary does. When General Grant called upon he mariner tbe other day the latter took him out some of his fine, black, ague cured cigars and handed one to Grant. The General is a hardened smoker, but, after he had taken about six pulls at one of the mariner's cigars he began to cough and bark like a young man in his first coy attempts at smoking. "How do you like the cigars asked the mariner, remarking at the same time that they were choice. "Are they observed Grant "where did you get them?" "These cigars," said Mr. Thompson, "were made from tobacco grown in my county." "I should say tbey were, said Mr. Grant. "What do you think of them?" inquired Mr. Thompson. Grant had at this time stopped smoking. He paused, looked steadily at the cigar, which had turned upon one side and was beginning to go out, and then replied "lean safely say this, Mr. Thompson, I never in my life smoked a cigar like it." "That is what everybody says," observed Mr. Thompson, highly pleased with the compliment.

As be turned away Grant quietly dropped the Wabash production into a spittoon, and skillfully lit one from his own pocket before tbe Secretary turned around. Then it was, and only then, that the conversation which had lagged up to this time, became spirited as the two friends puffed clouds at each other. Grant manipulated an Havana of a very delicate aroma, while Mariner Thompson poisoned the air and made things blue with his coal black Wabash weed.

Mr. Thompson has smoked these black cigars, twelve a day, for fifty years. Within this period tbe mariner of tbe Wabash has consumed 219,000 cigars, which, at the price mentioned, would have cost $21,900.

How many orphan asylums and charitable'institutions might have been endowed with this money shall be left to the vivid imagination of the anti tobacconists who rage throughout the land. The fact that Mr. Thompson is bale and vigorous in spite of the 219,000 chunks of Wabash tooaooo consumed by him is an interesting one for those who consider tobacco injurious to tbe human system.

AN INNOCENT OLD MAN. Detroit Free Press. The other day tbe police at the Union depot noticed a feeble looking old man wandering in and out to kill time until his train should depart, and, as he several times displayed quite a roil of bills, he was cautioned to look out fdr pickpockets and confidence men. "Wouldn't anybody rob an old man like me, would they?" he innocently aBked.

The warning was repeated, but he jogged around as before, and, after a time, was seen in consultation with two strangers, who had walked him around to the wharf. An officer got him away from tbem, and angrily said: "Didn't I warn you against strangers? Those fellows are after your money!" "But how can they get it when I have it in my pocket and my band on it all the time?" "Well, you look out." •'Yes, I will look out but I don't, want to be uncivil. When anybody taiks to me, I like to talk back."

The strangers soon had bim on tbe string again, and in about a quarter of an hour they left him in a hurried manner, and be sauntered into tbe depot with his wallet in bis band. "There! You've let 'em beat you!' exclaimed the officer. "How much did yon lend tbem?" "Wall, tbey wanted $20," be slowly replied. "And you handed it over, of course?" "I give 'em a $50 bill and got $80 back." "Well, you'll never see that $50 bill again." "I kinder hope not!" he chuckled, as be drew down his eye. "It was a counterfeit which my son found in Troy, and, being as I am very old aud innocent, and not up to the tricks of tbe wicked world, I gueas I'll git into the cars before somebody robs me of my boots! If anyone should come around looking for me, please say I am not at home!'*
