Customers occasion ally say that no stockings is partly in the Stocking and partly in the wearer. Women don't wear as heavy 1 lose as they once wore. They say: "Give me something thinner; I can't wear those thick ones." And, of course, the ma terial is not in them to give service. We would not c.pcct the same service from a lace and broadcloth gown, yet we do something similar in our reasoning on Hose. ' ( Then many require that their Hose fit like a glove. If they were to buy :i half si.e larger they would add much to the life of a pair of I lose. A good deal depends on the treatment given a Stocking. If it is pulled on, twisted on, jerked on, or worn with ill-fitting shoes, even a firm Stocking will-soon give way. , It must be said, too, that dyes which are too strong will ruin a St6ckfng. That is where the customer is powerless, and it is where we are powerless as., well. The old iron-wearing Hose were ingrain dyed colored in the yarn before, knitting. The newer fast blacks are much more evenly dyed, but an acid is usetV that sometimes gets ahead of the watchfulness even of experts. Hut people would not have the old gray-touched Hose and they can't have guaranteed wear combined with fast, even color. ( , In ladies' Hose we have the following Embroidery Hose': Medium Weight Cotton Hose, Heavy Weight Cotton Hose, Fleece Lined Cotton Hose, - Cotton Hose with White' Soles, i Cashmere I lose, j Shetland Floss At F. I Thn Grip. , Crip has been widely prevailing In tlie United States. Many years ago, when it was widely prevailing in Bos ion, we sent an ottiecr to a large mateli faeto.ty, who found that not ( singl' person of all employed there had been troubled with the, grip, the reason ibeing that they were at work on sul phut. We have several times published articles on tills subject, showing that, in sulphur mines everybody escaped the malaria which was prevailing all about them, that in California men engaged in bleaching with brimstone fumes escaped epidemics. Casey Young, member of Congress ,from Memphis. Tcnn., assured us many years ago at Washington thai when the yellow fever was raging in that elty he advised some dozen or more gentlemen in his otllces to wear pow dered sulphur in their shoes, and all who took his advice escaped the fever. lUis well known that the old prac- tiee of takinir iiulnhur and molasses in the spring would so penetrate the body as to blacken the silver coins In the pockets of the persons taking it. We . ... wish that some ot our eminent physi- eh'iis would carefully investigate the , advisability of wearing powdered sul- piiur almut the body in times of cpi- .leinie diseases.-(3eo. T.
