Streets, the stores are sbufj the saloons
give no frontal indications of traffic,
and hardly any factories arc kept going.
It is true, 'however, that New York is
not as pious as the appearance of Fifth
avenue would indicate. Between the
hours of eleven and one, the avenue
from Fifty-ninth to Fourteenth streets
is thronged with people. -Even Broad
way is never so thoroughly crowded, as
far as the sidewalks are concerned, and,
as the street is entirely free from vehi
cles, the procession from one sidewalk
is easily seen from the other. Custom
has fixed a certain gait, which no one
attempts to vary. Where 50,000 per
sons are moving along in a single direc
ition, at a languid, well-practiced and
easy stroll, it is vain to attempt to
change the gait. The man who is in a
ihurry to catch an engagement to dinner
or is anxious to walk briskly for exer
cise, must eiths-r take to the middle of
the street or light his way through the
crowd. Everybody is expensively
dressed. The women look as 11 they
ad just stepped out of fashion plates,
and the men are characterized by an
intense newness. Out of L'o.OOO pairs
of trousers, at least 24,000 will show by
a seam that they have just been un
folded for the day's wear. Beaver hats
of the most recent mode, all looking as
though fresh from the hatter's case, are
usually worn, and varnished boots of
"delicate pattern take tho place of rough
shod walking shoes'. All the gloves
are worn for the first time, and the men
eeem to be airing suddenly new and
complete outfits for the first time. The
most extraordinary thing about tho
costumes of the women is the brilliancy
of the colors that prevail. Brocades
and velvets of the brighest greens, the
darkest purples, and even costumes of
drab velvet that are so pale that they
appear almost white, are numerous.
Many of the costumes seen Sunday
afternoon on Fifth avenue remind one
of opera-bouffe queens. One can hardly
iimagine the effect which would have
ieen produced by one of these gorge
ously dressed women had she appeared
in the streets a few years ago, jvhen
everybody was wearing black for the
heroes of the late war. Ostensibly,
everybody is" coming home from church,
but in reality probably not one-fifth
have been inside of a church edifice for
years. They walk up and down that they
may see and be seen. Every one seems
to be acquainted with half of the people
they see, and there is an incessant dof
fing of hats and exchange of smiles. It
is fashionable to walk on the avenue on
Sunday mornings until one o'clock. At
that hour everyone Hies as from a pesti
lence. At a quarter after one you may
look from Thirty-fourth street a mile
,down Fifth avenue and only a few scat
tering pairs cau be seen where but a
short time before there were two com
pact masses of humanity moving slowly
along.- There are always a few New
Yorkers who believe that any custom
that is popular must necessarily be vul
gar. Hence it is that there is a cor
poral's guard of Anglomaniacs who do
not walk on the avenue at all Sundays,
.but drive in cloed broughams to and
from church. N. Y. Cor. Chicago

"Gage Whisky.
At the Tombs Police Court yesterday
among the prisoners was a tall, lean
aiian with a 'coonskin cap and muffler,
'whose bucolic air made the Justice
.smile Tho stranger's fur cap was
jerked oft" his head by an indignant court
officer, who hustledhim up to the rail.
"James Andrew Jackson Rood," read
the Justice from the complaint before
,him, "you fell down in a saloon in
Chatham street, and remained in a
stupor. Were you drunk or sick?"
"Waal. .ledge," drawled the old
man. "I'll be honest wid ye and own
up to the corn. I reckon 1 war over
powered, but I'm martin I war imposed
.upon."
"Were you drugged, do you think?"
"No, no, .ledge, 'twan't that. I called
for that ere gage whisk', you know, and
told the bartender how far I was ago
.iug, but reckon he wade a mistake in
the dose."
"How w:is that?"
"Why, he didn't calculate right It
went oft' right in the place."
"What do vou mean bv ffagre
whisky?" b
"Law, don't you know, an' you a
.Jcdge?" ami the" old fellow looked as
tonished. The Court said it had never heard of
that particular brand of poison, and
asked Mr. James Andrew Jackson Rood
to explain.
"Waal," he continued, "you see up
in the Town of Omar, in Jefferson
County, where I came from, Neil
Rogers, what keeps the tavern, has
licker that can be relied on. Neil allers
asks you when you take a drink how far
,you be agoin'. You tell him down to
the postotlice, over to Squire Evans'
store and back home, or anywhere else,
and he'll reckon up the distance to a
foot. Then he'll pour out a drink traced
to the length of time you've got to
travel. When the time's up you drop.
That's called in my section gage whiskv,

The Right to Commit Suicide.
In the ancient world it was held to be
the right of individuals, under certain
circumstances, to kill themselves, if
they could render their country thereby
a service, or even if they wLslied to rill
themselves of care in tins world. It was
quite common, in Roman history, for
Generals to sacrifice themselves in order
to win victories or to accomplish a Teat
patriotic or family end. The Stoics
held that man was his own master, and
if he wished "to shuffle off thft mortal
coil" there was no divine law, aud
should be no human enactment, to say
him nay. But the advent of Christianity
taught a new doctrine on this point.
This was the inviolability of human life".
Man did not belong to himself, but to
his maker, and killing one's self was as
unjustifiable as slaying a fellow-inus
But several modem writers have adlS
catedthe old view. The most recent
convert is the eccentric Elmira clergy
man. Rev. Thomas K. Beecher. Writ
ing to a newspaper, on this subject, he
says "that when it is determined bv an
individual, with the approval of his
friends, that it is no longer worth
while to drift about on this sinful
planet,' he is then justified 'in sailing
into the hereafter by his own act.' " It
is a question with some physicians,
whether in some phases of human suf
fering, occasioned by terrible and mor
tal diseases, it should not be permissible
to deprive the sufferer of a life that is so
intolerable to him. A German actress
named Gallmeyer was in such agony
from cancer that she begged her physi
cians to relieve her of life. But, of
course, the doctors, while they sym
pathized with her, could not comply
with her wishes. Death is no great ter
ror to some people. In China men have
been known to offer themselves candi
dates for capital punishment, as substi
tutes for noted criminals, for small sums
of money, to add to the comforts and
provide for the necessities of their
families. Death, in all Nations, is oftem
relief to the suffering and afflicted.

Wfeito Dresses.
For graduating dresses aad for
mer afternoons ai the watering places
sheer white muslin dresses are being
made in very simple styles, and are again
trimmed with embroidered flounces or
with tho Oriental lace that resembles em
broidery. Soft French nainsook is the
favorite material, and may bo used
plain for the principal part of the dress,
or else wrousrht all over with small
sprigs, leaves, or araoesques. ine pas-
tenTdresses, partly of plain and partly
OI emoroiuereu IUU3IIU, Wliu utaiiuireu
edges, mav
be bought in the shops at
from $6 or $7 upward, and the styles
are so simple that the dress can be made
at home. The basque with a gathered
front, an apron over-skirt which may
be either long or short, and llounces on
the lower skirt are in favor for such
dresses. The basque is without lining,
and is fitted in the back by a short side
form, and may have darts in front, or
be gathered into shape at the neck anJ
throat by rows of shirring. Somitimes
this full vest is made of the scalloped
flounces, with the scallops meeting
down the middle, and this is also car
ried along the hips like full paniers In
the back these flounces may be placed
lengthwise, and the ..figures made to
meet in the middle forms with nice ef
fect. If a plain front is preferred, a
narrow, smooth vest is placed under
neath, and the scalloped embroidery
edged with lace comes down from tho
shoulders upon the vest. The full vest
may extend only to the waist line, and
disappear under a belt, or it may fall
below in a soft puff. Deep apron over-
skirts of
muslin have one or two
ruffles of embroidery around them.
and these appear to be tightened
or drawn on tho apron, hold-ine-
it in at the lower part moro
closely than in the many folds or wrin-
kles above. Wide embroideries that
almost cover the front and sides of tl.e while his farm beasts part with consid
skirt are put on slightly full, and fall ' erable of theirs. He gets enough of the
free to the foot, and the drapery is con- ( outer air to invigorate his appetite, but
fined to the back. Mull dresses with j keeps much of the time within a tem-
drawn-work or hem-stitching are inado
up with belted waist and soft drapery
for morning wear. For some very
dressy toilettes embroidered white net
flounces are mounted over pink silk
surah skirts, and worn with n basque of
embroidered muslin. The durable In
dia linen fabrics are made up in pretty
guunpe dresses for you
girls; the
a entirely
skirt is full and tucked, an
without drapery. To introduce color a
collar and cuffs of red and blue velvet
are "added to man wnite musun
dresses; these may be the standing
officer's collar, or else they are turned
down collars with rounded corners a
Byron collar with the square corners
cut off. White lace or open embroid
ery falls over such a collar, or else nar
row lace edges it at top and at bottom.
The half girdle of satin or velvet Tibbon
is also worn with full vest basques; this
is of red, yellow, or blue ribbon, about
three inches wide, folded and sewed in
the under-aim .seams, and meeting in
front as a straight belt, or pointed below
the waist line, where it is fastened with
drooping loops and ends. Rosettes,
cockade bows, and chains of loops of
velvet ribbon trim the sides of dresses
that have an embroidered front, or else
they secure the drapery on the sides il
there is an over-skirt. Embroidered
flounces are very scantily gathered, and
are made to lap. The upper one has
an erect frill or a puff of the-muslin for
a heading, and colored ribbon may be
run in this puff. Lace flounces, on the
contrary, are gathered very full, aud
sometimes have forked ends, loops, oi
very small bows of velvet or satin rib
bon drooping in their fullness.
White nuns' veiling dresses will
again be worn both in simple
and in very dressy styles. In
the shops partly made dress ol
sheer wool of the varied qualities
that are now all called veiling are shown
with the skirt completed, and material
for the overdress. This skirt is usually
in fan pleats folded closely with the
edges showing like the folded pleats ol
a Japanese fan ; this is also called the
accordion skirt The purchaser can
add rows of Oriental laee across the foot
if trimming is desired, and the waist
should be made up as a panier polonaise,
with the full front held in place by a
velvet belt. A collar and cuffs of velvet
add to the beauty of such a dress. For
still simpler dresses of veiling there are
blouse waists gathered to a belt, and
.worn with a skirt that has no drapery,
and may be merely full and gathered to
a belt, or else it is laid in wide kilt
pleats that appear to hang loose, though
.they are secured on the wrong side.
.Sometimes a box-pleated skirt is pre
ferred, and this has very wide triple
box pleats, that look like panels, and
:each panel is enriched with the new
cord .passementeries in linked rings
near the foot only, or else extending up
.nearly to the waist. The white era
'broideries or net are placed over satin,
and used as trimmings of . very dressy
nuns' veiling toilettes. The sheerest
veiling is used for these, and there are
small embroidered figures on the parts
used for the basque and drapery. The
most elegant white dresses for spring
weddings will be made of white China
crape trimmed with flounces of Valen
ciennes lace, and plastrons of crystal
beaded net, with also draperies of thil
.net. Harper's Bazar.
Scarlet Fever Mistakes.
Oee mistake is to suppose that scar
latina is a milder form of disease to
differ from it as varioloid differs from
small-pox. The two words denote the
same disease.
Another mistake is to be leas careful
respecting a mild attack. Thia tends to
lead one to take less pains in guarding its
cumiuumcauon to omers, ana to be lest
solicitous as to the means of recovery.
As to the first point, the mildest at
tack may communicate the most violent
As to the second, a little neglect in any
case may be followed by fatal results,
or, at least be attended by life-long
harm. Ever- case, however mild, should
be in full charge of a phvsician until
the child is well well not only from the
fever, but from its hidden effects. These
effects (sequelse) are often vastly worse
than the original disease.
Another mistake is to let the child be
exposed early after recovery. Almost
every vital organ is left in a weakened
condition, unable to withstand even
slightly harmful influences. A common
cold may mean death to it
Anoth'er mistake is in the matter of
disinfection. The chief source of con
tagion is in the particles of scarf-skin
.incessantly thrown from the outside
.surface of the body and in correspond
inff particles from the internal surfaces.
The disinfection attempted n apt to
be exceedingly inadequte, indeed; ut
terly worthless. The body should be
kept oiled to prevent, as far as possible,
the particles of scarf-skin escaping. Spe
cial attention should be given to the head
and hair. The whole liody should be
carefully washed with soap and water

What To Ds Till tie Pasture G
Is Well Grewa.
If either season, spring of fall, stands
at a disadvantage when compared with!
the other, it is undoubtedly tho spring,
when all the influences that bear upon
farm stock are duly estimated. The
winter is approached by tho animal that
has been on good, pasture during tho
season of grass, as a rule, in the highest
condition of health. The secretory or-
gans are acuvu, uu me Bitrewu
functions are equally so, the grass feed.
mui noiti au.ra.uuiE uv , m.iu m
' the highest degree calculated to Keep
all the functions, so to speak, in a pli
able condition, well lubricated, thus
cutting off any liability to feverihncss
or clogging up. Therefore, Nature's
mode is better than th'e artificial
methods commonly practiced, and
under the natural conditions, any de
scription of farm stock goes into winter
in a better condition of health than is
enjoyed when spring comes.
Now, if this is the natural sequence
or outgrowth of the conditions, or of any
portion of them, then it would seem
that all who had, for any considerable
period, been observers should be able
to anticipate results such as are likely
to come of general conditions aud
avoid these when not to their likipg. If,
on the other hand, there aro any hidden
laws invisible causes for visible effects
an effort should be made to find them
out, that the farm animals may enter
upon an incoming spring as strong and
supple as they usually enter upon any
incoming winter, if the cause or causes
, why cattle and other stock get "on the
lift" in the spring, and not upon the
approach of winter, can be ascertained,
and if there is any error readily per
ceived, then he who can discover these
should be competent to correct them.
As a rule, the master gets added
t pounds to his physiquA during winter,
perature modified by the use of fuel,
and by this means avoids waste. Now
the farm animals that are forced to
meet the opposite of these conditions,
shrink, and get on the lift. It is clearly
not such as have had reasonably fair
?rotection and feed that succumb,
here is certainlv no economy in with-
holding feed prior to the period when
grass is available, because flesh lost
' during winter or in early spring, must
be made up upon grass later, through
the consumption of a large amount of
this grass feed. A given surface of
pasture grass will sustain a much larger
number of farm animals when they go
on to it in good flesh than when they
are in thin condition. Animals of any
age suffer through being forced up
wards and downwards alternately in
growth and flesh, and especially is this
true of young growing stock.
Cattle, horses and swine become
hide-bound at this season of the year,
and it should be borne in mind that in
this condition the digestion is at fault,
and the secretions are, to a greater or
less extent, locked up. The moderate
weather likely to be experienced from,
this time till grass is forward enough-to
furnish a good sustenance, will be
favorable for making some amends for
short-comings in care and feed that
have taken place during the winter
management The penny-wise and
pound-foolish man is now commencing
on a season of the year when there is a
vigorous rebound in that kind of man
agement Thinking to economise by
reducing the rations, under the idea
that the first grass of the season will
answer, has never yet failed to hurry on
the shrinkage. This practice is like a
two-edged sword, in that it has the
double effect of lowering the vitality of
the animal, and taking from the pasture
at a time when it can give nothing in the
way of feed except at a great detriment to
its future value. This premature crop
ping is as unwise as it would be to har
vest a crop of grain in the early stage of
the grain's development It may be
reckoned as a little singular that so
large a proportion of farmers seem to
see it to their advantage to practice that
manifestly false economy of reducing
the rations of grain and hay, depending
upon tho faint apology for grass which
the first watery and tender shoots
afford, in place of looking upon the
weeks between now and the time when
pasture grasses will be well grown, as
the best period within the j"ear for the
exercise of wisdom and tact in feeding
farm stock. Live Stock Journal.
Docking Herses Tails.
This cruel practice, together with
that of nicking, was oxplodcd by com
mon sense and humanity long ago; but
I regret to see, from late English pa
pers, that the barbarous custom is again
coming into fashion in the United King
dom. The most skillful and intelligent
veterinary surgeons are opposed to
docking and nicking, as both cruel and
unnecessary. Moreover, these disfigure
the horse, for what more beautiful point
is to be seen in him than a long, flowing
tail? S
The only benefit claimed for shorten
ing the tail is that it prevents the horse,
when driven in harness, from catching
the reins under. The writers in the
Veterinary Journal say that a short tail
is more readily thrown over the reins
than a long one, as the former is more
horizontal than the latter. As to the
danger of a long tail getting over the
reins, if a horse is properly broken no
accident or inj ury can happen from it,
as it can be easily and quickly re
leased. As evidence of this, fifteen
hundred long-tailed American horses
were used for years in London city
strcet cars, where the drivers sat below
the level of their horse's hind quarters,
and yet no accident ever occurred from
the reins getting entangled about or
under their tails. Theseliorses were as
spirited and impulsive as well-bred
English horses usually are.
Lock-jaw and death occasionally hap
pen from docking, and much pain and
suffering always from cutting and sear
ing the stump with a hot iron; and what
is more repulsive to a feeling mind
than the'sight of a sloughing stump and
carious bones? I shall expect to see
this followed up by the cropping of ears
for that years ago was also in fashion,
.as it was contended it improved the ap
pearance of the horse. To what piti
less cruelty of many kinds has this most
noble and useful of all animals been
ever subjected, and this still continues
.in various ways.
When horses are turned out to pas
ture, a long tail is very necessary for
them to brush off flies and other tor
menting insects, and if they have not
this protection, it is almost impossible
.for them to keep in fair condition.
I have found an easier preventative
of the harnessed horse getting the reins
under his tail. This is done by fasten
ing an iron post to each end of the dash
board with an iron rod stretchingacross
from one post to the other. Place these
,as high nearly as the root of the tail,
run me reins over me roa, men mey
cannot be caught by the switching".
These posts and rod may be made an
ornamental part of the carriage. I
fervently trust that the cruel and un
necessary practice of docking and nuk
ing will not be introduced again into
America. I even dislike cutting off the
hair just below the end of the dock,
and a bang tail I can only tolerate in a
race horse, as for him it may some
times be necessary, to prevent entangle
ment and give him a perfectly free use
of his hind legs when on the course.

Crabs and Cocoanufs.
Cocoanuts are essentially shore-loving
trees, and thrive best in the immediate
neighborhood of the sea. Among the
fallen nuts, the clumsy looking thief of
a crab (his appropriate Latin name is
Birqus latro) makes great and dreaded
havoc. To assist him in his unlawful
object he has developed a pair of front
legs, with specially strong and heavy
claws, supplemented by a last or tail
end pair armed only with very narrow
and slender pincers. He subsists en
tirely upon a cocoanut diet. Setting to
work upon a big fallen nut with a
husk on, cocoanuts measure in the raw
state about twelve inches the leng way
he tears off all the coarse fibre Dit by
bit and gets down at last to the hard
shell. 1 hen he hammers away with his
heavy claw on the softest eye-hole till
he Has pounded an opening right
through it. This done he twists round
his body so as to turn his back upon the
cocoanut he is operating upon (crabs
are never famous either for good man
ners or gracefulness), and proceeds
awkwardly but effectually to extract all
thewnite kernel or pulp through the
breach with his narrow pair of hind
pincers. Like man, too, the robber-crab
knows the value of the outer husk as
well as of the eatable nut itself, for he
collects the fibre in surprising quanti
ties to line his burrow and lies upon it,
the clumsy sybarite, for a luxurious
couch. Alas, however, for tho helpless
ness of crabs and the rapacity and cun
ning of all-appropriating man! The
spoil-sport Malay digs up the nest for
the sake of the fibre it contains, which
spares him the trouble of picking jnnk
on his Own account and then he eats
the industrious crab who has laid it all
up, while he melts down the great lump
of fat under the robber's capacious tail,
and sometimes gets from it as much as
a good quart of what may be practically
considered as limpid cocoanut oil. Sic
vos non vobis is certainly the melan
choly refrain of all natural history.
The cocoanut palm intends the oil for
the nourishment of its own seedling; the
crab feloniously appropriates it and
stores it up under his capacious tail for
future personal use; the Malay steals it
again from tne tniet lpr nis own pur
poses: and ten to one the Dutch or
iish merchant beguiles it from him wi:
sized calico or poisoned rum, and
transmits it to Europe, where it serves
to lighten our nights and assist at
