In 88*8 would learn much more about
the real habits and oustoms of the bar-

determines on the instant their stage of
development.
Not so far out of the way, therefore,,
is Mr. J. O. Madison, of the ancient and
respectable guild of tailors, when he
claims that dress is an indication of
morals, and that the tailor Is greater
than the sculptor. “Unfamlliarlty with
philosophical methods of investigation"
on the part of an Ignorant public is the
cause of the prejudice In high society
against the tailor as a man and brother,
he thinks. The tailor on his part has a

Madison calls the cutting and fitting of
garments “the esoteric art,” and says
there is nothing more fascinating to one
who understands it well.
. But ilk the following passage Mr. Mad-
ison fairly bursts his buttons and rips
his back seams:
The ecalptor chisel* his statue. If he can, up
to hla ideal of symmetrical form and faultless
beauty, and Its perfection and beauty will gen-
erally correspond with hie Ideal. But If he
were obliged to cut and make a garment—a
ooat, for instance—that should gracefully fit
the nude form he had carred he would find
It more difficult to do so than to chisel hie /
thoughts into Immortality. His effort to cut
and make the garment could not fall Into line I
with that of the tailor, and he Would very soon .
discover how far his art falls below and how
much simpler and sailer and surer It is than
that of the sartorial artist. But with all that
trouble and annoyance and disappointment that
would follow his effort, and with all theif con-
sequent humiliation and disgust, he would
not fully appreciate the greater difficulty of
the tailor’s art, for his statue le passive-H la of
■tone and cannot move. It cannot squirm, as
the tailor’s client does, nor throw back, nor
hunch Its shouldera, nor swell Its chest, nor
thrust out its arms, nor saw the air with them

It appears to the Voice as
something in the nature of a
work of supererogation for a
state legislature to instruct a
congressional delegation how
to vote on any question. If a
congressman has not enough
sense to do his own voting he
should be provided with a suc-
cessor who has. On the other
hand, the legislature has enough
to do in attending to its owh
proper duties without meddling
with those of congressmen.

Typhus fever, thu awful plague which
slew 80,000 French Boldiera at Prague in
1742 and is as much to be dreaded M
cholera, is emphatically the disease of
famine and filth. The peasants of Rus-
sia and Poland are the most uncleanly
in their habits and surroundings of any
civilized people, and there typhns broods
and nests the year round. The Russian
famine of last ytar has caused an un-
usual outbreak of it. Diphtheria and
smallpox start in the same way—among
the dirty, the starved, the ones who are
huddled together in dark and noisome
dens, unfit for beastB to dwell in. Thence
the pestilence stalks through the earth
and cuts down the sons and daughters
of princes and millionaires and the fair-
eet flowers of humanity. It is the aw-
ful revenge of poverty and ignorance on
gociety. ______

It is a strange reflection to the old tim-

very large proportion of the meypibers of
the honse of representatives In the Fifty-
third congress will be under forty years

ot more than a generation have nearly
every one dropped out in both houses.
Even in the Fifty-second congress there
