Yosterday afternoon was the first day of the three weeks set for the trial of criminal cases in tuo district court, but the forenoon was devoted to the hearing of the arguments in the Stewart insurance case, In the after- noon the first case called was No. 1035, the caso of State vs Thomas Brooks for the murder of Prank DoGoode. Both the stato and defense wero ready for trial, but Colo- nel D, B. Dailey, attorney for the defense, asked the court to order o special venire of forty jurors, as it would be impossible to select a proper jury n tho eigh- fcen names on Cthe regular pancl, owing to tne fact that they were nes residents of this city, or of adjoiniug town- 3, aad alrewly had considerablo knowl- odge of the case. ‘The court complied with tho request, and instructed the sheriff to summon forty good and qualified men from the body of ¢ forticth meridian, to bo 1 the court forthwith, to serve ns jurors in tho case above named, in cass the regular pauel was exhausted. When the order was first made the court stated the special jurors sum- moned must be f the townshics outside of Kune, in order to obviate the difficulty urged tho regular panel, but Colonel Daily objected, urging thut the court had no right to oatrucise this township, and the re- striction was removed.

Citizens of Pierce streot petivioned for per- mission to do their own curbing instead of the contractor to whom the work was let. After considerable discussion permission was grauted. Property owners on Avenue B petitioned to have the water mains extended on that thoroughfare, and their petition was referred to the water committee. Mrs. M. L.

They watch them w from bud to flowers with a won- ful intervest; they take them up ten- derly, they touch them with care, and when they wither they cut the withered stem with u certain pity which is cred- itable to human nature.

Its Members Are the Lions of the Hour in Parls. DANGERS OF TIGHT CLOTHING. What a London Medical Journal Says About the Salr-Tortured Ohile dren of Vanity—What a Woman Can Do, Where Lady Firemen Flourish. The lady members of the fire brigade in Paris, who are the lions of the hour, are young English girls—the Misses Mortimer, holis, Bessell, Pritchard and Jeffs—who have come over with the delegates of the English five brigades. They are all Londoners. I had this cvening a talk with the whole party, writes a Paris correspondent of the London Daily News. Major Heath told me that to Miss Mortimer the honor was due of taking the first step. Mr. Louis soggested it to her. After a great fire he said to her that there was really no more danger in getting out of a high window than out of one on a first floor if there woro nerve and a cool determination to hold on to the rope or ladder. The peril lay, he suid, in flurry and want of pluck. Were some plucky girls to show women how it is to make descents from top windows, tho victims from fives would not be so many, Miss Mor- timer consequently tried. All tho girls began with perilous descents, and were not trained gradually to make their plunges down life saving eanvasses. They have learnod togo up ropes and ladders as well as down. While wo talked the young ladies, who were in ordinary clothes, wero re- minded that they had very little time to dress for a soiree in the Ave- nue de Wagram, where the prefe of police und his fire brigade staff were to meet the congress, After the soiree they were to be taken to the Kl Dorado, whare 600 places had been engaged for the delegates of France and the for- oign nations represented here. I re- mained to see them in _their costumes, and talked meanwhile with Major Heath. He told me that Mme. Carnot had invited the girls to Fontainebleau, and that the president of the ge: eral review on Sund W to see them at work ivery ome, he said, treated them with respect and mpathy. The objects of the tiremen congress wero to malke known the best means ot preventing and putting out fives, and to make insurance compin bear a great part of the expense o keeping up eflicient fire brigades, and provide for men maimed 1 trying to extinguish fives in 1nsured houscs. Resolutions to the effect having been carried, the young ladies eamo back dressed in theie uniforms. They had red silk eaps, dark blue short skirts not descending below the ealf, soft leather boots, neat bodic with broad brass buttons, and turned up with red at the neck and the cuffs. Dangars of Tignt Clothing, Now that rational ideas as to dress have acquired a defiaite place in public esteem it may bo imagined that the practize of tight lacing and customs of a like nature, if known at all, are not what they used to be, says the London Lancet. A ecaso of sudden death lately reported from Birminghamn proves that it is still too early to indulg> in such illusol ideas. The de- ceased, a servant girl of ex hle temperament, died suddenly in an epileptoid fit, and the evidence given before the coroner respecting her death attributed the faial issue to asphyxia, duemn a gre sure to the fact that both neclk a were unnaturally constricted by Ler elothing, the fo:mer by a tight collar, the latter by a belt worn under the stays, We have here certainly those very conditions which would lead us to expect the very worst consequences from a convulsive seizure. There is no organ of the body frec movement is at such times more important than the heart. Yet, here we find, on the one hand, its movement hampered by a tight girdle so placed that it couid with difficulty be undone at a critical moment; on the other a contrivance admirably adapted to allow the pussage of blood to the brain, while impeding its return. This is no ted case as regards its essential weter, though happily somewiat rin its termination. Minor de- groes of asphyxiation, we fear are still submitted to by a good many of the self- torturing children of vanity. The tight corset and the high heel still works mischief on the bodies of their devoted weavers, Taste and reason, in- deed, combine to deprecizte their in- jurious aad vulgar bondage, and by no means unsuccessfully. Still tho evil maintains itseit, Cases like the above mentioned ought to, if they do not,open the eyes of some self-worshipers of the other sex, who heedlessly strive by sueh meauns to excel in sickly grace. We would strongly impress on all of this cluss the fact that beauty is impossible without health, and would advise them, in the name of ‘taste us well as comfort, to avoid those methods of contortion, oneand all, by which clegance is only caricatured and health may be painfully and permancutly injured. Sa New Society Dances. “La Reve, the cadet galop, the impe- rial gavotte and military schott’scho quadrille will be favorite dances next winter,” says an instructor in the terp- i L Chey ave all round ances, La Reve, or The Dream, as it is enlled in English, will be danced to schottiseno music, the cadet galop will be danced to galop music, the imperial gavotte 1o four-four time and the mili- tary schottische. whicl is intricate and of new and novel figures, will be dancod to the schottische musie,” “Are they andapted to society ing?? “Decidedly. whose isol cha dance- They will be introduced in many of ihe select dancing parties. They are all very handsome figures,” “Tlas there noi been a military schot- tische in existence for some time?’ “Something that has been called by that name, but cnly about one person in fifty knows how to execute the steps correctly.” What will be the dances of the up- per teadom this winter?” “rhe german will, of course, take precedence, It will always have its place among tho society dances. Then there will be the military schottische, the glide polku, the Berlin, the diago- nal waltz, the Saratoga lancier, the prairie queen and the waltz quadrille. These will be the leading dances this winter.” A © Woman's Tollet. So long as they are young and hand- some Cameroon’s women pay great at- tention to their toilet, says Robert Mul- ler in Populac Science Monthly, The petticoat, which reaches down from the hips to the ankles, must be thoroughly smooth and clean, aud the apron, which is worn under it, is asspotless as the un- derclothing of a European lady, Their hair is woven by a professional hai dresser into braids of various shapes, G e Bkl ok 1. 2.

Miss Jeanette Gildor, the editor of tne Critic, leads, us it wore, a dual life. At home and in society sho is entirely feminine, and just what any other clever, sweet-tempered woman would be. She is passionately fond of chil- dren, and is devoted to the pretty in- fants of her brother, the poet. Butin her office her whole matner changes. She isa thorough woman of business and_during office hours works vor, hard. She suits her attire to her work, and as the feminine dress cramps tho neck, thront and arms, she has adopted a costumo almost entirely masculine, On the street in winter she wears a long, dark ulster, with a white hand- kerchiel folded under the edges. In her office she wears dark skirts, kilted plainly to the waist, with no overdress; the waist is a half-fitted sack coat, with the cut at the throat the same as that of a man, ona with the same pockets, Under it is a close-fitting waisteoat, in which are watch and chaing a plain standing collar and cravat are entively masculine in tone. She even wears wide cuffs with heavy-link buttons and a seal ring. Her brother, Richard Watson Gilder, is the editor of the Century. Business Hatite, Every girl should learn business habits at home while under her parents’ con- trol,says a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle, The mother who prefers to keep her daughter at home should pay her for transacting domesticduties as regularly as a father would pay hisson whom he took into his store or office as clerk. The money she has earned sho should bhe allowed to spend with as little eriti- cism as possible, but a deficit should never be made up,and a bill should never be permitted. The cash system is the solution of the problem of domestic economy. it sets at rest forever the 1dea that perhaps at the end of the wmonth two und two make five, and it compels the buyer to estimate the exact value of the thing bought. T'wo young men were once looking at the moon and estimat- ing itsappavent size.
