A Sensible Female Reformer.
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.

' * 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.
