Miss Susan Wright is a teacher of twenty-one years standing in the public schools of New York. Siie is now the principal of the primary department. A short time ago she wrote a letter to the Hoard of Health, in which she said the short dresses worn by many of the girl pupils did more harm than bad plumbing and defective ventilation, and that the fashion made the children liable to rheu matism, consumption, pneumonia and other diseases which are the result of ex posure. Her letter closed as follows : "My sympathy for the ill-used children of the rich and poor compels me to ask your attention to this crying abuse, and to risk the unpopularity of putting the blame where it rightly belongs—upon physicians, too tender pocketed to make parents full sharers in the blame which belongs to neglected buildings and igno rant teachers, in this 'murder of the inno cents.' " Miss Wright said that even where poor children in her school had been given dresses of a proper length they had re turned the next day with the dresses cut abort. The children of wealthy parents were as poorly clad in this respect as the poor children. The stockings might be of finer quality, but there was no more warmth in them. Mothers cover them selves with flannels and furs, and yet they send out their delicate little girls with their legs exposed, in some cases even above the knee, to the cold winds. Tt is simply a foolish desire, Miss Wright said to bo in the fashion. Years ago girls wore long dresses, and were then suffi ciently protected. Certainly girls are not hardier now than they [ were then. She had lately seen very small # children who wore socks which left a space of bare flesh exposed above them. Little boys with knickerbockers generally wear ul sters, and are thus protected. The cold is much more injurious to girls than to boys. A physician skilled in children's diseases said that it was undoubtedly unhealthy to expose any portion of the boby to cold. It affected the lungs and heart, and was lia ble to bring on diphtheria and other com plaints. All children should wear heavy underclothing and warm woolen leggings in cold weather. Stockings are a very in sufficient protection in a cold wind. It was wrong to blame the doctors for the short dresses. They do not set the fash ions, and are only asked for advice when the child becomes ill. General Gartield Is now being bothered by the persons who are making arrange ments for the inauguration. Apropos of this, the Washington Jlepublican relates an anecdote of Mr. Lincoln. The inaug uration committee submitted two pro grammes, and asked the Pcrsident-clect 1 which he prferred Mr. Lincoln threw J one leg over the back of his chair, and | replied as follows: "When 1 was practic ing law in Illinois a client ofmine, a pe culiar sort of a fellow, was brought be fore the court, and the .Judge asked him : 'Do you swear or affirm?' 'Mr. Judge,' my client replied, 'I don't care a d n which.' " It is reported tha.t the syndicate which j purchased a majority of the stock of the ! Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wilmington Railroad is composed of Garrett Broth ers, of Baltimore; Drcxel & Co., of Phil- 1 adelphia; Drexel, Morgan & Co., of New! York; Russell Sage, Jay Gould, John Jacob Astor, August Belmont, and others. The new arrangement will lead to net working agreements on the lines between New York and Washington. Mrs. d.

TIDD. | ' * FEW FACTS in regard to the White Sewing* Machine, It, is an acknowledged fact that the 1 White Sewing Machine now stands pre -eminent among tirst-elass machines, for its simplicity and light-running qualities. It is a mechanical fact that the White Sewing Machine is made from the bust | material and of excellent workmanship, i and all its wearing parts are adjustable, i so that lost motion can be "taken up" in ' an instant. | It is an undisputed fact that the dura bility of the White Sewing Machine is | sustained by a written warranty for five i years. It is a progressive fact that the White embodies the most practical and useful improvements of other sewing machines, together with advantages peculiarly its own. It is a money-making fact that the jWniteis the easiest-selling selling ma j cliinc in the market, and therefore all wide-awake dealers make it their specialty, j it is a gratifying fact that the White gives universal satisfaction, and that it is steadily and rapidly increasing in public favor. <:Au r no.\. ; Do not I>* imported upon by agents and parties wlio are interested in the purchase and sale ©t'other machines, it lias become a common trick for un Hcrnpalous competitors to get a White machine and put it in had order so that they might prejudice pur chasers against it and in favor of their own machines. To guard against such contemptible trickery, we advise all intending purchasers to correspond with us direct, and wo will take pleasure in giving them the address of a regular authorized dealer for the "White" in their county, or we will offer to sell them a machine direct at special prices, and guaran tee satisfaction in every respect. •W.
