MEN'S GARB FOR WOMEN.
Dr. Mary Walker Inaiata Thnt Pres
ent Feminine SI) lo» Arf lu
beulthful and Immoral.
Dr. Mary Walker for well-nigh 45
years has preached dress reform for
women. Her ideas, as much as her pe
culiar adoption of male attire, have
made of her a national character. She
is now past CO years of ape, but is
.more than ever committed to her
ideas.
j. In a recent article published by the
Chicago American she advocates the
adoption by women of male attire for
the following reasons:
Did you ever watch Flora MacFlim
sv stepping on or off a car? Could
there be anything more grotesque?
As the car approaches she grabs fran
tically a bunch of dry goods which has
trailed for blocks behind her in the
mud. Swishing them about her until
she has bound up her knees as if in a
vise, she essays to step into the car.
Fiut the yards of lingerie and dress
hamper her. It requires the greatest
effort to mount the step. It is often
times accompanied with the sacrifice
of her expensive costume.
The other day as I left a Broadway
car behind a Flora, I inadvertently
stepped upon her ladyship's train. The
rip of the sheeny silk brought terror
even to mo. She glared at me fero
ciously.
"I will pardon you," I said, "for tak
ing- up so much room; it seems hardly
necessary that you should have a dry
goods roll trailinp behind you."
Bind your waists in steel splints and
what happens? Congestion of the
stomach and intestines. Congestion
begets inflammation and the latter ex
citement of the part inflamed.
In my common sense attire I can
travel faster than any other woman.
My form of dress has to overcome a
liphter atmospheric pressure, less spe
cific gravity.
I can swing in and out of a car in
less time than it takes Flora Mac Fli
msy to pather her skirts daintily.
There should be no sex in dress. A
■woman should not be forever pro
claiming as from a sign board: "I am

lor Nearly 45 Years.)
i
& woman!" Why is it necessary for
her constantly to conjure uj> thoughts
of sex difference? I think it im
moral.
To-day we call love a passion. True
love is a quality of the mind, not of
the body. Until men love with the
mind woman will not have her right
place in the world. Passion is brutal;
love is divine!
Does the modern form of evening
dress—undress I call it—appeal to the
passions or the souls of men? Do the
yards of dainty laces, the variepated
hosiery, the thousand and one what
nots of the modern maiden's gown ap
peal to the purer or baser idea?
There would be fewer crimes
against women if ihe suggestive in
woman's wardrobe were eliminated.
Modern forms of dress accentuate
rather than subdue these evil sug
gestions. "What is most daring?" is
the question ■with the modiste, not
"What is purest?"
A woman's charms of person and
mind shou'.d be her store of wealth.
At present her physical charms arc
paraded before the world that all may
see. She does not so parade her beau
ties of mind.
Sometimes her physical charms are
counterfeit; they are used as a snare.
She cannot counterfeit her mental
qualities.
In trousers, waistcoat and frock coat
woman would find protection that she
much needs. She would be freer of
motion and limb, would have better
health, a cleaner mental condition and
lie man's superior in the thinps she
should have most c-f—of purity of body
and mind.
Snner or later my ideas will bear
full fruit. The wheels of progress
and intellectuality move slowly. Ido
not expect to live long enough to see
my ideas of dress the vogue. I shall
have to fiie; then the seed that I have
sown will ripen and prow and bud and
bloom and IV Well, perchance I may

rhiladclphians are raving over •
new type of American beauty exem
plified in the person of .Miss Evelyn
Florence Nesbit, of that city. She it
but 15 years old and two years ap«
went to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh
with her widowed mother. Her fa
ther was the late Winfield Scott Nes
bit, one of the foremost lawyers ol
Pittsburgh. Her mother, Evelyn
Florence McKenzie, comes of a dis
tinpuished southern family, and she
was a celebrated belle in her youth.
It was not lonp after her appearance
in Philadelphia that the beauty ol
Miss Nebit was remarked by man;

of the leading artists and sculptors.
Already her face has been put on
canvas by such painters as Carl Blen
ner, Carroll Beck with, Levy and Irv
ing Wiles Church.
It is Kvland W. Phillips, the artist
photographer, who claims the honor
of having first discovered this new
beauty. Last October he arranged
to have her come to his studio and
pose for several pictures, which were
later placed on exhibition at the
Photographical society and created
wide discussion. In speaking of Miss
Nesbit, Mr. Phillips said:
"Miss Nesbit has a mobile face, yet
she can chanpe her personality is
looks, pesture and effect quicker than
anyone else 1 have ever seen. She
can change her whole expression in
stantly from sorrow to gladness,
every feature adding to the total
Miss Nesbit is a
great beauty. She has a splendidly
developed head and a face showing
unusual character. About her fore
head there are lines of exceptional
beauty denoting great intellectual
power."
Besides her beauty, Miss Nesbit is
endowed with a gift of dramatic tal
ent and emotional capacity sufficient
to warrant her in hoping to attain
success on the stape, for which she
is now preparing herself.
HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Take an Air Ilath livery Morning and
Every Nit hi for (lie llenetlt of
MIIKCR-M ami I.UIIKM.
Two baths, say the newest health
authorities, should be taken every
morning.
For no less important than the tub
buth for the body is the air bath for
the lungs.
Perhaps you have never taken an
air bath and mistakenly fancy that
it may be necessary to turn yourself
inside out to accomplish it.
On the contrary, the directions are
extremely simple.
You need no apparatus and it takes
but a moment's time and very little
effort.
Every night the lungs become filled
j up with impure air and more or less
poisonous pases. A person may go
all day without riddinp his lungs of
th-jse impurities. Therefore it is as
important to bathe the lungs every
day as the body.
Few people know how to breathe
correctly. The lunps are not filled by
merely expanding the upper portions
of the chest and raising the shoul
ders. The entire front of the chest
should be forced out as one inhales.
There are a number of exercises for
expanding the chest which you can
i practice in your room as well as in a
| gymnasium. A doorway will serve
j as well as the most complicated pym-
I nasiuin apparatus. A narrow door
; way is preferred. Stand directly un
j dor the frame and place the hands
| fiat on the doorcasinp, the tips of
j the finpers cominp at the heiplit of
i the shoulders. Walk through the
I door without removing the hands un
! til you are arms' lenpth away. This
I draws back the shoulders and brings
the important chest muscles into
play. Try this for 15 minutes every
niirlit and morning. It will heln to
wake you up when you rise and "help
you to pet to sleep quickly when you
po to bed.
Another plan is to expand the chest
the same way before an open win
dow. Stand about a foot back from
the window, placinp the hands on the
window frame on either side at the
heipht of the shoulders. Without
movinp the feet, let the body swing
forward as far as possible and return
to a perpendicular position. Prac
tice this about 20 times nipht and
morninp at intervals of ten seconds.
Another exercise bath for the arms
and lunps is to stand with the heels
together and take a deep breath.
Then stretch one arm backward and
upward, then the other, meanwhile
movinp the body backward, forward
and to the sides while expelling the
breath slowly.—N. Y. World.

LARGE DIPPING PLANT.
Texas Ilaa a Cattle Ilnth Which, for
Sice and EfTcctlveneas, la t\ ltb
out an Equal.
The government bureau of animal
industry has recently, through a se
ries of experiments, solved an impor
tant problem bearing upon the health
of cattle. It is the establishment of
large dipping vats in the center of
the stock" raising districts oi Texas
nnd the south for immersing cattle
in a chemical solution which effectu
ally destroys parasites infesting their
skin. When cattle from a diseased
territory are to be shipped into a non
infected district it is important that
they be freed from all pests. The
best and only remedy has now been
found to pass the cattle through a
BIG TEXAS DIPPING VAT.
disinfecting bath, or, as it is termed,
to "dip"' them. "Dipping" infected
cattle into a saturated solution of sul
phur in extra dynamo oil will destroy
all parasites.
Recently the Fort Worth Stock
Yards company built a large dipping
plant and placed it at the disposal of
the bureau of animal industry, where
the first demonstrations have been
carried out. One of the problems in
regard to the bath was to find a
chemical oil which would not have an
irritating and heating effect upon the
cattle. For this purpose a number of
samples of various lubricating oils
were examined, and one of light spe
cific gravity, called extra dynamo, was
selected.
A train load of 311 cattle was
dipped in a large vat of the stock
yard m July last. These cattle were
raised and bred in Texas, and were
infested with Texas fever parasites
at tne time of the dipping. The
weather, which hail been remarkably
cool up to this time, suddenly changed
to intense heat, and, it being desir
able not to expose the cattle to the
sun immediately after the dipping,
they were not passed through the vat
until after sunset, ily 11 o'clock at
night all had gone through without
a single accident, and they were at
once loaded on clean cars, bedded
with hay and shipped to Rockford, 111.
Of the 311 cattle all save four ar
rived in good condition at their des
tination. The casualties were princi
pally caused by extreme heat during
the first day of travel nnd the con
finement incident to shipment. A
careful examination showed that not
a single parasite had survived. Most
of the cattle showed absolutely no
indications of having been dipped, the
skin being soft and flexible in all
cases.—N. Y. Herald.
FEEDING SOAKEETCORN.
When Combined with Good I'nxt urage
It Afford* an Ideal Summer
Itutlon for IMifa.
There appears to be quite a differ
ence in the opinions of breeders in re
gard to feeding soaked corn to the
spring pigs during the summer time
when running on the pasture and at
a time when the old corn is hard and
sometimes difficult for young pigs to
eat. I have a decided preference for
soaked corn, getting the best growth
and better results than from feeding
the dry corn. My plan is as follows: I
get two barrels that will hold water,
and then pour in one the quantity of
corn that 1 wish the pigs to eat during
the next 30 hours' time, then I add to
the corn clean water until it is covered
some three inches, leaving it to soak
for 30 hours. I then commence feeding
from the first barrel, and at the same
time fill the second barrel, which will
be ready to commence on when the
first is fed out. After the first is fed
out, clean the barrel arid fill it as be
fore. This is a clean, easy digested,
wholesome food. The corn has lost
nothing by the operation, only the
heated or burning feature of it, which
is injurious to all young, growing
stock when fed to any extent. You
can feed this kind of food without
danger of splashing it over you, which
is not the case with slop made from
mill feeds, which not only gets on
your clothes, but the pigs as well in
feeding. This manner of feeding will
make rapid growth, and when on srood
pasture a complete ration.—J. G. True
blood, in Swineherd.
Windmill Power la Clicnp.
A windmill will pump water for
stock, irrigation and all other pur
poses; it will turn the wheels of the
mill; it will wash, churn, turn the
grindstone, turning la>th«, cider press,
etc.; it will griud bones for the hens,
saw wood, chop feed, t-'lircd fodder,
shell corn, run fanning mill—there is
no end of the jobs it can lie set to work
on if properly harness-ed. Without a
single exception the windmill is the
cheapest power nature put* into the
hands of man. Every farm should
have a good, standard niia.de windmill
