The Truss I purchased of you about one year ago
has proved a miracle to me. I have been ruptured
forty years, and worn dozens of different kinds4of
Trusses, all of which haye ruined my health,
as they were injurious to my back and spine.
Yeur valuable 1 russ is ss easy as an old shoe and
is worth hundreds of dollars to me, as it affords
ma so much pleasure. 1 can and do advise all,
both ladies and gentlemen, afflicted, to buy and
wear your modern improved Elastic Truss inline

isfied and happy with the comfort it gives me to
wear it. It was the best $10 I ever invested in
my life. You can refer anyone to me and I will
be glad to answer any letters on its merits.

The subjoined has been forwarded to
ns as an authentic description of per
haps the most remarkable costume worn
at the last drawing room: Lady Archi
bitld Campbell wore a dressof bine and
blaek Lyons velvet which was (to use
the modiste term) cut a la princesse.and
relieved by a sashing on the left side of
the skirt m silver-gray satin, the corsage
garnished with black Chantilly lace of
rare pattern; a band a la gibeciers of
black velvet bearing small ecasson
shields, united by Gaelic knots in gold,
traversed the bust of the nabit and was
secured en traverse by a silver fish one
of the Campbell badges. The shields
on the bands were charged alternately
with the cognizances of the Argyll
Campbells and the Callanders of Ard
aingias and Craigforth in their proper
heraldic tints. A besace, or satchel, of
a shield shape, emblazoned with the
quartering of the Argyll Campbells and
the Callanders of Ardkinglas and Craig
forth. was secured to the left side of the
dress by the badges of the fish and bog
myrtle. The satchel contained an an
tique lace handkerchief en jabot. The
train was silver-colored satin, suspended
from the shoulders and attached to the
dress by the badges. On the train was
embroidered, en applique, the ancient
and well-known coat of arms of
the Campbells of Argyll in subdned
colors; the shield, 5 feet long, supported
by its lions (gules, ongle, argent) was
surmounted by the wild boar (proper)
and beneath was the device, "No Oblivis-
cans, in sable letters on a silver gray
phylactery. In the antique cloth of
gold of the gyronny and in the cloth of
silver on which, as if on sea, floated the
galley of Lome, there shone a lustre
like the tints of an opal. The whole de
sign was evidently conceived and exe
cuted after the style of the heraldic
achievements" of the fourteenth, cen
tury. The lions were indeed lions, and
bore no resemblance to the mawkish
poodle dog" of the Georgion period of
herald y. Every part of this dress was
executed with the same skill even to the
dainty slippers embroidered with the
shield (in miniature) . The fan of silver
gray and black ostrich plumes was
mounted on an antique silver poniard,
or "skeandhu," which served as a handle.
The bouquet, so obligatory in all mod
ern full dress, was of tawny red giroflees
and silver gray giroflees, carrying out
the color of the supporters and that of
the "held of the banner. We oelieve
that this is the first instance since the
end of the fifteenth century of a lady
appearing in a court ceremony such as a
drawing-room with her heraldic cogniz
ances forming the ornamentations of her
dress London Post.

The President Tells a Story.
Perhaps the President's state of mind
may be discovered from a story he told
a friend who called upon him recently,
writes the Washington correspondent oi
the Providence Press. In 1875, when
the Democrats organized the House of
Representatives for the first time after
the war, there was a general clearing out
of old clerks to make places for the
friends of Democratic Congressmen:
Two old attaches of the House, who had
held their places through many adminis
trations, Mr. Barclay, the journal clerk,
and Dr. Mahaffy, one of the reading
olerks, supposed that Congress could not
get along without them, and that they
were not, therefore, in any danger of re
moval. Sitting in their arm-chairs in
their office, Gen. Garfield said, as they
blew the smoke from their cigars, they
congratulated each other:
"Well, it was to be expected that the
poor devils of under clerks would lose
their places, bat we are solid. Adams,
the new Clerk of the House will never
be fool enough to turn us out."
But one day, as unexpectedly as
thunder from a clear sky, came the an
nouncement that even Barclay and Ma
haffy had been removed. Both men im
mediately' put on their hats and went
over to Sanderson's in search of liquid
consolation. They drank confusion to
Clerk Adams and the whole Democratic
party, and chuckled and laughed as they
called up in imagination the inextricable
tangle into which the business of the
House would get as soon as they left
their desks; and finally, when
they were pretty full, they started
back to the Capitol arm in arm.
As they beat up against the wind across
the plaza, Dr. Mahaffy burst into an im
moderate laugh.
"I shay, Barclay," said he, "won't it
be a good joke when they come to us on
their bended knees and beg us to come
back and straighten things out?"
Just then Barclay, who didn't seem to
appreciate the joke very much, stopped,
straightened himself up., and, pointing
to the Goddess of Liberty on the dome
of the Capitol, as he shook his infirm
finger at it, said:
"D'ye see her (hie) Mahaffy? She
totters I she totters!"

Besides the Europeans and the Israel
ites, the three races of Algeria are the
Arabs, Kabyles and Negroes. The
Kabyles belong to the Berbere, or most
ancient race; the Arabs arrived in Bar
bary during the ninth century; not more
than a quarter of a million, pure race,
now exists. The Arab has a receding
forehead and curbed nose; the Eabyle,
square head, prominent brow and straight
nose. The Arab is a true son of the
desert , and so nomad ; the Eabyle is also
nomadic, but can at the same time settle
down. Algeria is four-fifths the area of
France, and its total population 2 mil
lions. There are 269,000 monogamists,
and 19,404 polyga mists; there are 3167
separated wives, and 52,794 widows. The
six nationalities in Algeria are: French,
Anglo-Maltese, Spaniards, Italians,
Germans and Swiss. The two latter do
not seem to acclimatize, and rarely
marry; the Spaniards succeed best in
point of sex; the women adapt them
selves beter to the climate than the men
their death-rate being less. Fever is
the most dreadful disease, and tells more
severely on the civil than the military
population; for in the army few mala
dies exist, and mental alleniation is un
known. The difficulties in the future of
Algeria is to obtain new lands, either by
purchase or concession; the fear of in
surrection, thereby necessitating the
presence of a large army, which in the
event of a European war would have to
be recalled; the facilities for quitting
the colony in case of failure; climatic
influences. It is impossible to push the
aboriginals towards the desert, or to in
duce them to rally to the tri-color. Isla
mism is the opposite of republicanism,
and ends in absolutism; however the
Kabyles, while the followers of the Ko
ran, are essentially democratic. Benan
says the Kabyles constitute the only so
ciety where police, administration and
government cost nothing, and are made
by the people themselves. The Span
iards come from the Balearic Isles and
the towns of the coast of Spain; they
are chiefly kitchen gardeners, vine grow
ers and artisans; the Germans belong
almost exclusively to Bavara and Baden,
and are bankers and agriculturists.
There is this common fact to record,
that in Algeria births among all the na
nationalities are more prolific than in
old Europe. Sarahs even have a chance.
Cheap Living.
Philadelphia has an institution the
New Century Cooking School the ob
ject of. which is the teaching of domes
tic economy. A few weeks ago a party
of invited guests sat down to a dinner
prepared in this institution, the cost of
which was but 18 cents per head. ucn
an inexpensive dinner would seem to in
dicate that the acme of domestic econ
omy in the matter of furnishing the table
had been reached, but even this wonder
ful cheapness has been eclipsed by the
giving in the same institution of a din
ner which was to have cost nine cents
per head, but was furnished at a much
less cost. The bill of fare included pea
soup of a very delicate quality, Parker
House rolls, Irish stew, curly potatoes,
pork and beans, veal croquettes, apple
dumplings and coffee. The total cost of
the bill of fare was $2.22, and the num
ber of guests at the dinner was thirty-
two, making the cost per head seven
cents. The beef used in making the
soup was a piece from the shoulder, with
verv little bone, and cost six cents a
pound. The croquettes were from a neck
of veal. These experiments are inter
esting, and persons interested in our lo
cal charities might find in them a sugges
tion to how to do a good work among
a certain class of the population by hav
ing the women and girls taught how to
prepare a tempting and nutritious meat
at a very slight cost.
Visitors Most Pay Their Way Sow.
The late changes in the Oneida Com
munity may affect the pleasures of the
public somewhat. The community
grounds and shops will not be open, as
heretofore, to the inspection ot picnic
parties. The dwellings are rented to the
various tenants, and are, therefore, not
so open to the view of casual and curious
visitors as formerly. The company will
afford hotel accommodations to persons
having business with it. But for people
interested in Uommnmsm or Socialism
or ioint-stockism, or any other such
movement, there is no provision. This
class of persons have to depend on pri
vate hospitality to pay their own way.
Neighbors and others calling with- their
friends to see the community are treated
courteously, but it is not possible for
the new company to entertain people as
the old Oneida Community used to do.
The lawns and flower-gardens will be
kept in general order, but there will be
no music in the hall or band playing on
thn Grounds. The Oneida Community.
limited, is a small village of people
living in the old buildings for the most
part, but more and more like people in
other villages, they are getting consider-
blv interested m paddling their own in
dividual and family canoes. It seems
probable that the present feeling could

Meal is finer than grain, women are
finer than men. There was never good
or ill but women had to do with it.
Modesty is the beauty of women. I like
not pullets becoming cocks. Take no
woman for a wife in whom you cannot
find a flaw. Choose your wife as you
wish your children to be. Take a bird
from a clean nest. Choose the good
mother's daughter, were the devil her
father. If you take a wife from hell,
she'll bring you home there. When you
see a well-bred woman, catch her, catch
her; if you don't do it, another will
match her. Their own will to all men,
all their will to women. What a woman
knows not she'll conceal. Harsh is the
praise that cannot be listened to; dark
are the dames that cannot be dallied with.
Where a cow is, a woman will be; where
a woman is, temptation will be, (attrib
uted to St. Columba.) A man's wife is
bis blessing or bone. If yon wish to be
praised, die; if you wish to be decried,
marry. Who Speaks ill of his wife dis
honors himself. True or false, it will
injure a woman. Warm is the mother's
breath.

How the Hair Should not be Worn.
The New York Times gives the ladies
some good advice in the following as to
how the hair should not be worn in
front: Fashions change gradually; un
less they did they would not be followed,
for suddenness would demonstrate their
absurdity. The revolutions that they
make are not obvious until they have
been regarded through a series of years.
The feminine mode of wearing the hair
at present is a fair illustration. A good
while ago, when the rage for phrenology
had brought high foreheads into vogue,
the hair was brushed back from the
brow so as to exhibit its fullest expanse.
The fashion was not pretty; it gave
women a bold, masculine, staring ex
pression ; but it continued with the inter
est in phrenology. Then women began to
dress their hair reasonably, letting it
shade the brow, as it ought to, instead of
pushing it off as far as possible.
They have of late been wearing it lower
and lower, until many now hide their
foretieads with it altogether. It is not
uncommon to see well-dressed women
whose hair, natural or false comes down
to their eyebrows; while others draw it
forward in such profusion as to give
them a grotesque appearance. Most New
York women who - make any pretense to
fashion look as if they had no brows,
these being invisible on account of the
peculiar arrangement of their hair. They
are not content to depend upon nature
either. They decorate themselves with
front pieces of divers patterns, and by
their aid look as ill as they well can. If
they knew just how they looked in the
eyes of good taste they would, we are
sure, alter the dressing of their hair.
Hiding their forehead in that manner be
stows on them a very insipid, not to say
imbecile expression. They might be
mistaken for South Sea islanders, and
candor compels us to say the intelligence
of some faces does not need toning down.
Lost in the Flames. fGiovanna
Bettocchio, a master saddler of Turin,
having been summoned to Nice by
business engagements, took with him his
only daughter, an intelligent child of 7,
whose fondness for music prompted her
father to purchase seats in the theater for
the performance which terminated so
tragically. He secured places in the
front row of the gallery, and was occu
pying them with his little girl when the
alarm of fire rang through the house.
Snatching the child up in his arms, ho
endeavored, and successfully, to break
through the panic-stricken crowd to the
gallery door, but during tlie struggle
the girl was torn from his grasp. By an
almost superhuman effort he contrived
to re-enter the gallery, by that time
plunged in all but total darkness, and
while groping around among the over
thrown seats, caught hold of a little girl,
insensible from fright, whom he carried
out into the street, fully believing her to
be his own daughter. She proved, how
ever, to be a strange child. Hastily set
ting her down on the pavement, he des
perately fought his way for the second
time into the burning theater, from
which he never again emerged alive. His
charred corpse was found two days later
among the ruins of the gallery stairs.
A Terkiblb Giant fbom Norway. A
New York dispatch of Wednesday says
that Capt. Burstadt, the Norway giant,
arrived yesterday via Boston. He said
that he came from the railroad station on
a truck, finding no hack to which he was
suitable. His gaiter boots were made in
England, and the one which he kindly
removed, at the request of the reporter,
must have weighed at least seven pounds.
A strong man could throw it from one
end of the boarding ball to the other, 1 mt
only with great exertion, and to employ
such an engine for the suppression of a
back yard cat or other similar nuisance
would be barbarous and unnecessary.
The gold ring which he wears upon his
forefinger, and which the King of Sweden,
Mr. Burstadt says, felt rich enough to
present him with, will readily admit of
the passage of a silver dollar through it,
and when the giant spreads ont his arms
a tall man taking hold of one of his
hands may barely touch the palm of the
other with an umbrella. He is thirty
six years old and unmarried.
New York's Esthetic Lunacy. The
New York correspondent of the Syra
cuse Journal writes: The ajsthetic craze
seems to be at its height. A single flower
of large size is now worn on the waist of
a lady's dress (not a bunch), because it
is in agreement with some rule of high
art. Another freak of fashion is to wear
an embroidered butterfly on one sleeve
of a dress. Jewelry seems to run in the
form of snakes, lizards and the claws of
birds. A pretty girl wears a bonnet made
of material fastened to one side with a
silver turkey claw. What are called
"theatre bonnets" are made entirely of
flowers. One worn by a lady of fashion
is composed of a purple pansy, one
flower alone, the center of the flower be
ing on top of the head, the purple and
yellow leaves dropping over her golden
hair. But usually these bonnets are
made of many flowers of a kind, say
roses, violets and lilies of the valley,
with a few green leaves, and are tied
with long lace strings under the chin.
Philadelphia's Gentility, The idio
syncrasy of Philadelphia, I should pro
nounce, on the whole, to be its gentle
manhood. I know nothing of what may
be called "society" in Philadelphia for I
was a school boy when I quitted it, and
have since, on rare occasions, spent only
a few hours here. But I am very well
acquainted with most of its leading men,
and I have never known a more un
broken succession of serious, self-respecting
persons. You find neither the
insolent frivolity nor the blase vacuity
of New York. The streets, the squares,
the dweUings, are, indeed, humdrum.
The people, though uniform to a degree
of provincialism equal to our own, are
matter of -facts, sensible, decorous. They
are wedded to their institutions. Henry
Watterson in the Courier-Jouenal.
Lord Dufferin relates with great gusto
that when he came home from India to
i get married be found no carriage await
ing him at the little Irish railway station,
and he had to hire a common jaunting
car. Going along he asked the driver if
there was any news. "Nothing," said
he, "except that pretty Kate Hamilton is
going to marry that one-eyed Dufferin."
