BAB'S LETTER.

[Copyright, 1886.]

have to ride or walk on the streets of New York. When they are not arranging to have a cable laid for the annihilation of small children, they are digging up the ground, presumably to mend the gas pipes in reality, to let you know how the gassmells. Or else somebody, with a great deal of money, is tearing down an old house and putting up a new building, which necessitates the walking of the population in the middle of the street, or else the olimbing up a flight of shackley steps and crossing over abridge that is truly on& of sighs, because of the aocidents that happen on it. Day before yesterday I fell up the steps of one of these ghastly structures and tore anew fur wrap, and then fell down and got myself black and blue where it isn't pleasant to be blaok and blue. Even if one can afford to ride in chaises, one has the doubtful pleasure first of being overcharged, then of being banged up and down and rattled about, and of living in agony for fear that the cable oar and the horse will oome in contact. The average cabman prefers Broadway, because of its many dangers. He is a conceiled beast, who likes to show how brave he is by risking your life, and although you pay for the privilege of being driven by him, all the pleading imaginable won't induce him to stick to a quiet street.

NBW YORK IMPOSITION.

There is no country iu the world except this young one where people sub mit so quietly to being cheated and maltreated. To my certain knowledge there is one block in New York, and I lived on it, where they first took up one side of the street to bury the wires then tbey took up the other to bury the steam pipes, and then tbey took up the middle of It to accommodate both of these companies and make the thing even. As a public we are the most longsuffering and the most amiable of any in the world. Neither the English nor the French people would endure this, especially when It Is realized that the means are to an end that is perfectly frightful. If good, smooth pavements resulted after all this digging up, nobody would mind but our pavements are worse than country roads,and rougherwell, rougher than the men I saw in a political procession the other night. Why can't we bavea wooden pavement? Because it costs a great deal, and the people who have charge of the pavements are quite willing that the public should be uncomfortable, provided their salaries are large. So they placidly announce that wooden pavements won't stand much traffic, and forget that the

is here. Oh, New York is small and

WKDDING PRESENTS FROM ABROAD

read that the English presents would not ime here because of the duty on them. English wedding presents are, without exception, the best things to buy in the whole wide world. To give— not to receive. Here, when we give a present we Impoverish ourselves, or else steal, to pay for It, but the present is a fine one. However, if you pick up an English newspaper and read the acoount of a very smart wedding, you will discover, after the description of the bridal gown, a list of presents, and It will read something like this: "The Duke and Dncbesh of Mean-to-Llve and the five LarlltfS Guy, a silver button h6ok the Earl and Countess of How Come You-So, a photograph frame the Honorable Adolphus and Lady Starva

Of oourse, we go to one extreme and they go to the other, but outside of family jewels and the really magnificent gifts that usually oome from the newly male peers, Eng lish wedding presents are a beautiful sham.

WOMAN ADMIRKS Bid MBN.

During what is kfown as the silly season on the other side of the water, and which with some people lasts all the year round, they invariably bring up some question, and then everybody writes to the newspapers. In Paris they have been pitching into and upholding, ac oordlng to their lights, the English, Frenoh or American girl. In London, they have been gloating over the necessity of love before marriage, and in Edinburgh about man in types (if the printer persists In writing that "tights" it is not my fault.) One type Is always admired by women, and that is the big bodied, big hearted, lovable man. A big man is a boon, a blessing and everything else nioe that you oan think of beginning with a B. Undoubtedly Eve's affeotion for Adam was due to his size. The Orientalists say that he was so tall that when he stood in Paradise his bead was in Heaven and that the angels admired him so much that it was thought wiser for him to have a fall. Henoe that little affair in which Eve, the serpent and Adam, with the fruit served according to taste, came about.

I never knew a little man who'bad any great love for anybody but himself.

A BIG MAN CAN LIFT A WOMAN,

if she has au nervous headache, from one bed to another, and from one chair to another, not only as if she were a feather, but with a certain seourity that makes her feel very greatful. Did you ever see a big man hold a baby? He does it carelessly, and looks as if he were going to drop it, bul the expression in the baby's face satisfies its mother that it feels secure, and so everything is right. I confess to liking a big priest He always locks more capable of battling with the world, the flesh and the devil. There may be nice little men, but they are not on my list. And the only handsome little man I ever knew, and he really did look like a cherub, used to pose for everybody's benefit, and once said to his mother, before me, "Really I must go out more. The girls—ah!—

traffic in London is'a little larger tlian it don't you know-want to look at me." There's a little man for you. He can't provincial—a'rtd—-and yet, with all Jig even look like a fat, dimple rosy-cheeked faults etc etc. ^7

THE SANITARY WOMAN IS ABROAD

and over the faoe of tbe earth. No plaoe is sacred to her, and no human being is free from her. She test the air we breathe, the clothes we wear, the dinners we eat, the friends we have, and she objeots to all. She says the air is full of germs she says our clothes are not proper from a health standpoint she says our dinners don't furnish us with the right kind of gobnles, and she says our friends are not magnetically adapted to us. I bate tbe sanitary woman. Give me six safety pins and I can pin up my frock so^that on the rainiest day the skirts will not get wet, and there will be no need for the assumption of the habiliments. It is Just possible that I am ultra-conserva tive, but I am quite willing to live as my grandmothers did—without sanitary blessings. I like the days of good food, good times, good clothes and good friends. Those days when if you had a pain you got either calomel or castor oil if you had mysterious lumps in yon you died, but you were not cut to death. And bythe by, it is a funny thing, but until the doctors knew how to do this slicing there seemed to be nothing to sliee.

LAWS Of THIS SAWtTARY WOMAN, If you happen to be in tbe honse with a sanitary woman you feel that yon would like to use some of tbe language so highly appreciated by the late Mrs. Carlyle. On the arrival of the sanitary woman in your home, she oarefully inspects the plumbing and tells you that it is all wrong. Then she gives her opinion of the food you offer her, unless you have been wise enough to lay tn a stock of stewed prunes, health bread and that dreadful slop they call "shells," and which tastes like a mixture of dish water and ashes boiled together. Soon after her arrival she tries to convince you that you are not dreeeed right and

a is N to a

tton. Prioe Ko. par boat. sanitary underwear is enough to frighten

a firemau, but she boldly displays it, and calls you a frivolous female beoause you lean tq ruffles and lanes.

Why does thi* type of woman always say "male" and "female" instead of man and woman? She makes me feel as if I were some sort ot a fouHegged animal, at that She is possessed of an impudence that exceeds any I have ever encountered, and she has no more hesitancy in asking the roost personal questions than an ordinary woman would in saying "goodmorning She seems to gloat over diseases, physical ones, and, somehow, the sanitary woman, in time, drifts a little wrong mentally. Itseemsasif oonstant hunting for microbes in the pipes makes her yearn for human microbes, and develops in her queer and unoonventional ideas, especially about men. Just think over the sanitary women you have met, and see if I am not right. An ideal episode is the meeting of the sanitary woma« and the Chinaman. She looks excited, he looks placid. She tries to explain the advantage of healthful living, and he smiles and smiles, and Usif*lis tuid still smokes opium and has friends who 8re probably lepers,

JOHN CHINAMAN'S WAYS,

There is one th ug 1 have always lik about the Chinaman. When he is g'tid to

see

you, he shakes bands with himself Not metaphorically, but really. Some people's hands are so unpleasant. There is the coid clammy band that gives you a chill and makes you feel that you have an eneqoy instead of a friend. There is the round, over-fat hand, that suggests a rubber ball and convinces you that among your friends is a fool and then there is the long, thin, bony hand, that sets you to wondering as to whether it is attaohed to a villain or a skeleton. The Chinese w%y is the best. But so many of their ways are funny. Their men wear shirts and their wnmen wear trousers. The dressmakers are men, the women are messenger boys. Books are read backwards and foot notes are at the top of tbe page. The language they speak isn't written, and tbe language they write isn't spoken. When they put on mourning tbey Vrear white, and bridesmaids, who are not maids, but old married women, wear black. Their last name comes first, and when you dine with a Chinese gentleman you eatoandy first and fish and soup last. Altogether, their modes are a little peculiar, still they are fascinating.

To return to the sanitary woman. She is Pi

SELtiOM POPULAR WITH MEN,

who as a general think like frivolous women, unless they are cranks, and then, of course, they are not men. Eve "frivuled," there can be no doubt that Lilith did, and I feel sure that all the women who have made history, by making trouble, were also frivolous. But they were charming. There is nothing charming in having theair dissected and water analyzed during one's dinner. One doesn't want the advantages of graham bread and tbe intoxicating quali ties of oat meal the theme for breakfast, nor is it quite pleasant to listen to a dis course on tbe value of wool the skin and tbe advantage of going without if
