We think ourselves, 'as a matter of observation, that English men and ' women have profited by the cheaper food of the last thirty years, and are - decidedly bigger than when we were lads, but we freelylimit that we are unaware of any scienti' ', idence to support that • opinion. W e , only sure that a certain limited clae then ell -to-do section of the middle c ass ti a Iiolrre decidedly bigger, . healthier, antti) ,l regards itsJ younger women, apparently taller than was the case forty years ago. We cannot understand how there can be any doubt upon the sub= jeg, .and would appeal with the utmost con - fiance to any jury. of mothers accustomed to mix in general society. They would say, thereby correcting an omission in . the popular view, that in seven out of ten families they knew, the sons were larger than the fathers, unless the latter were . specially big men ; and that the daughters not only were larger than the mothers, but that they at all events seemed to be taller too. Nor is there anything surprising in the statement. The - . first cause of bulk and stature is probably race- we do not mean superior race; for the Negroes of many districts are bigger than are the English, and the " barbarians " were all biger than the Roman soldiers who . enslaved th —butrace, and the continu- ance alike o1�' i e `e and conditions of life usually involved in that word but the ,second cause is diet in infancy ; and the third training in childhood and early youth. Much milk, for example, makes good bones ; and soldiers caught young visibly lengthen out under their food and drill. In both these latter conditions, the change within the last generation—we are speaking only of the well -to -do -has been verb great indeed. The world has grown unconsciously much wiser as to the management of chil- dren. Nothing improves physique like good milk—that, and not porridge, is the cause of the tall Highlanders, 'Irishmen and Sikhs—and the little children of our day are nourished on cream-e,nd-water, or milk procured from the great dairies, which is as good as milk can be, and as different from the milk of thirty years ago as bran is different from old beef -tea. The very cows are of a ,different breed, not to mention the improvement in their food and lodging. Then a prejudice of an extra- ordinarily injurious character—we write these sentences on first-class medical evi- dence -has silently, no one knows why, entirely disappeared. ' Nothing nourishes like good sugar, possessing as it does just the requisite heat -giving quality; but the mothers of 1830-50 dreaded sugar. They had an idea that it sickened babies, who always crave for it like horses for salt ; that it spoilt the teeth of growing children ; and that it swelled the tongues of -children a little more advanced in years --the last a fancy based on the effect of sucking taffy. They therefore withheld sugar, thus leaving the children half nourished, and perma- nently sensitiveto a climate which for seven months in- the year is always chilly. Nowadays, everybody among the culti- vated 'knows that sugar is beneficial, and the children are . left to their instincts, with the result that they make flesh, and •are almost always warm. Then A Sure d1;;tt. the matrons of 1830-50 had a fixed idea, incurable by the men, who never quite New York Weekly : Mother— d just gave in to it, that children, if left alone, like to know who this young man is you would invariably over -eat themselves, a have engaged yourself to. theory true of about 5 per cent. The nur- Daughter—Oh, he comes of splendid aeries were dieted like prisons, with the family. ' result -all nurses exaggerating the popular " Does his family object to the match ?" ideas—that, the children who longed for food "Y -e -s." were never fed enough,' and the children " Then I guess he's all right." who disliked much food—a peculiarity of many good constitutions—were gorged to indigestion. And finally, children are kept warm enough. The horrible old idea of those two decades, that children should be " hardened " by exposure, has died away ; the nur ries, besides being. properly ,ven- tilated, are kept warm, and the Whole principle of children's clothing has been radically, and we hope finally, modified in. the sense that the "body," as distinguished from the limbs, is thoroughly and warmly clad. The result is, that the child, with a tendency to grow does grow, and that a greatly increased percentage of boys run towards 5 feet 11 inches, and of girls to- wards 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 inches, than has ever been the case before. More- over, as the boys and girls grow naturally, they keep their good looks, and, except . for a year or two of life, it has become a positive rarity to see " gawky" lads and lasses, as great a rarity as to see the latter with the shining red elbows which forty years ago were at once the most dreaded and the most frequent of the minor deformities. The improvemen r'' ways, mind, in a strictly limited clues ,eh hardly considers the cost of footled anifest at every turn, and is reported not o by every artist, but every caricaturist 'n the country.

The shawl collar is faced entirely with silk, but peaked -lapels are faced only to the button holes. All edges are corded. Besides a low -,cut vest of black cheviot, a white silk vest is usually provided with dress coats to be worn at weddings and the theatre. _— Overcoats for walking and general wear are single-breasted sacks of beaver cloth made loose, of medium length, with plain seams, double -stitched edges, and velvet colter ; they are fined 'with plaid cloth. Similar overcoats are made of gray and black cheviot. Dress top -coats for evening have the Inverness cape, and are made of back cheviot, faced to the edge with silk. Shirt fronts remain plain. layers of linen in shield shape, fastened by two small studs —those for the day made of gold, with pearl or white, enameled studs for evening. Standing collars are worn of good height and self -rolled or to meet, as is most becoming. Cuffs are square -cornered, with the edges meeting when fastened by linked sleeve buttons. Dark scarfs are again • in favor. They are in the familiar Ascot, four-in-hand and puffed shapes, with also the small square English bow.. The new fancy is for rich dark, red scarfs, especially for wearing with brown suits. Grayish -blue, °stone -color and heliotrope are also fashionable for neckwear. Silk underwear iswoven not only in ivory -white or flesh -color, but also in pearl, rose, salmon, blue and heliotrope. Black silk socks very slightly embroid- ered are worn with evening dress. Finely striped Balbriggans for day use are in stone colors, tan or wood browns, and soft fine cashmere socks are of natural gray and ecru shades. Buttoned gaiters of calf•skin for street wear have low heels, and either medium pointed or broad toes, the style being again for rather broad shoes. High -but- toned shoes are also worn in the evening ; they have galoshes of patent leather with kid tops. Walking gloves are ;of reddish or yellow- ish tan shades, and are worn in English fashion of heavy qualities that were formerly used only for driving. .They have very slight stitching on the ` back, and are fastened by two buttons. The crown of- new silk hats is even - more bell-shaped than that worn last season, and is of two different heights, that for elderly men measuring six and three -fourth inches, while that for young men is a quarter of an inch less. . A"Great Explosion In these days of gunpowder, dynamite, giant powder, and the like, tremendous ex- plosions are no rarity, but the greatest ex- plosion of modern times is,without doubt,* that of the "old school" idea that Con- sumption is incurable. Thousands of lives have been sacrificed to this mistaken notion. Modern research has established the fact that Consumption is a scrofulous disease of the lungs, and that . there is one remedy which will positively eradicate it from the system—Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Dis- covery. Ofcourse, there were in the olden times many who would .- have pronounced modern explosives instruments of witchcraft; but there are, fortunately, few to -day who do not acknowledge that the " Golden Medi- cal Discovery" is the one sovereign remedy for all scrofulous diseases, and Consump- tion is one of them.

Win. Hendrie, of Hamilton, the President of the Ontario Jockey Club this year, and their winnings amounted to over $7,000. The 2 -year-old Cottonade and the 3 -year-old Versatile were the chief performers and both'did well in good company, Cottonade gettir g a place in 14 of her 22 races. Bull- finch won the Governor•General's Cup at Quebec, and Wild Thorn and Gladiator per- formed between the flags. Altogether, al- though there was no $5,000 Iroquois Stake. winner among the lot as a couple of years ago, the record is quite creditable. The stable ought to be somewhat stronger next year, as some good 2 -year-olds are coming on. Strathspey's yearlings are good lookers and real smart youngsters, but they are only three in number.

This dog was purchased for $7, and his boy -owner, Willie Ketchum, has now in bank, the dog's earnings, $70,000. "I don't like the breath of that stove !" exclaimed little Ethel one day when the gas was escaping from, the sitting -room stove. Coal -gas is like the "perfumes of India," compared with the breath of a person afflicted with catarrh, but among many other, symptoms the sense of smell is often deadened, so the sufferer is unconscious of the offensiveness of his presence. Why any one will endure such a painful, dangerous and offensive disease, when Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy—costing only 50 cents— will mire the most stubborn case, is one of the many mysteries. The proprietors are so confident of the success of this Catarrh Remedy, that they offer to forfeit $500 for any cash of Catarrh they cannot cure. It would be suicide for their remedy, for them to make this offer, unless they understood its exact powers. Buy bar soap by the quantity if you wish to be truly economical. Stand the bars on edge, one above another, with as much open space as possible between them. They will then dry out and last almost twice as long. - Chinese streets are not often more than eight feet wide. vussousaussustessitssawassesa For two years I suffered terribly with stomach trouble, and was for all that time under treatment by a. physician.

People who read of tarring and feather- ing by white caps and others know that the punishment is a very unpleasant one, but few imagine how terribly painful and danger- ous it is, says a writer to the St. Louis Globe -Democrat. In Wyoming I once saw a man who had been tarred and feathered, and, although he fully deserved th n� Hardened tar is very hard to remove from the skin, and when feathers are added i forms a. kind of cement that sticks close than a brother. As soon as the tar sets tb victim's eufferina,begins. It. contract's as i cools, and every one of the little hairs o the body is pulled, causing the mos exquisite agony. The perspiration is en tirely stormed; And ,mines the tar is re moved death is certain to ensue. But the removal is no easy task and requires several days. The tar cannot be softened by the application of heat and must be peeled off bit by bit, sweet oil being used to make the process less painful. The irritation to the skin is very great, as the hairs cannot be disengaged but must be pulled out or cut off. No man can bo cleaned of tar in a single day, as the operation would be too excrucia- ting for endurance, and uffless this is done he has to suffer from a pain like that of 100,000 pin pricks. Numbers of men have died under the torture, and none who have gone through it regard tarring and feather- ing as anything but a most fearful infliction. " Four years ago," writes Col. David Wylie, Brockville, Ont., May, 1888, " I had a severe attack of rheumatism, and could not stand on my feet. The pain was ex- cruciating. I was blistered and purged in true orthodox styli, but all to no purpose. I was advised to try St. Jacobs Oil which I did. I had my ankles well rubbed and then wrapped with flannel saturated with the remedy. In the morning I could walk without pain." rt e .r, n t No Better Off Titan Ile. .

" What a lovely old lady," I heard a man remark, at the opera, lately. " She's quite as beautiful as any girl in the house. Such color and complexion is rarely seen in a woman past forty." Indeed, the woman of whom he spoke was lovely. Her face was clear and smooth, her cheeks, fresh and rosy, her eyes bright with perfect health and the enjoyment of life. She had passed the critical " change of life " without falling into " the sere and yellow leaf," as most American women do. How had she succeeded in doing this ? Simply by using Dr. Pierces Favorite Pres- cription at a tune when nature stood in need of some assistance. She had taken it at the right time. In doing this she was wise. Wiser than most women who " trust to luck " in getting through the critical and trying period safely. This standard remedy is just what is needed at such a time. It is, from girlhood to old age, woman's' best friend. In all diseases peculiar to the sex, it accomplishes what no other remedy does -a cure. Take it, woman, when life's autumn begins. and "grow old gracefully." Your money back if it don't help you. The St. Clair Tunnel.
