Men before now have resented THE HUM question, though oeniitiveness about one t age is a rarer infirmity, for mmy reasons, among men than it is among women. There is a good deiil to justify it, moreover. There should be no good reason why any individual snonld not have the right to keep his age to himself if he prefers it. It would be quite enough for the law to require the registration officers to ask the question of voters; "Are you above ihe age of 21 years?" since, if he is above that mini­ mum, his ctxaot age cuts no fi«'ve what­ ever, with regard to the privilege. The inquisitorial character of the registration requirement 8 naturally grate more harsh­ ly upon women, who are new to the whole matter, than it doss upon men, who are more or less hardened to such inquiries. And yet men frequently kick ; over the traces. An orthodox clergyman in one of the suburban towns, a year or two ago, ma le 1 a memorable scene at tha Town Hall on one of the reeistr it ion evenings because he was asked by the registrar whether he could r^td. He positively refused to read the required paragraph in the con­ stitution, and he left the room in a high ; state of indignation. This seems ridicu­ lous, and yet the clergyman had an un­ doubted right to resent what appeared to him an impertinent inquisition. In an­ other case a bank-te! ler, who was per­ fectly well kuown to the registrar, became angry when asked if he could write, and would have refused tc siptn his name if he had not been expostulated with by his party manager, and reminded that the party could not afford to lose a vote. The teller signed his name, but he never forgave the registrar, who iusifcted upon his fulfilling the law, and, it is said, . was afterward with difficulty restrained from chastising him on the street.--Bog-, ten Transcript.

It is observed whenever any calamity fulls upon the community-- such as, perhaps, a visitation of cholera. The women put on men's clothes, take up arms, and go a-hunting--not in the jungles, but in the nearest village east of them. They chase pigs and fowls, take as their own everything they kill, and levy blackmail from the head* of the villages for the purchase of liquor, or el*e they allow themselves to be bought off for a • small sum of money and a pig. Toward ; evening the hunting party retire to a s stream, cook and eat tbeir meal, drink their liquor, and then return home, hav­ ing acqu tted themselves during the day in a thoroughly masculine and boister- ' ous manner. Then the village that has been visited goes on a similar excursion to the village east of it, and so on to the eastern bor- ; der of the district. By this series of ex­ cursions it is supposed that the evil spirit is safely conducted out of the trict without offending its dignity. ; Mature In Convulsion *•,.* i la terrific.

In January or February, 1851, an ar­ ticle appeared editorially in the Seneca County Courier, Seneca Fails, N. Y., on "Female Attire,"' in which the writer showed up the inconvenience, nnhealth- fulness and discomfort of woman's dress, and advocated a change to Turkish pantaloons and a skirt reaching a little below the knee. At this time I was publishing a monthly paper in the same place, de­ voted to the interest of woman--tem­ perance' and woman's rights being the principal subjects. As the editor of the Courier was opposed to us on the woman's rights question, this article of his gave me an opportunity to score him one on having gone so far ahead of us to advocate our wearing pantaloons, and in my next issue I noticed him and his proposed stylo in a half-serious, half-playful article of some length. He took up the subject again and ex­ pressed surprise that I should treat so important a matter with levity. I re­ plied to him more seriously than before, fully indorsing and approving his views on the subject of women's costume. About this time, and when the read­ ers of the Lily and Courier were in­ terested in and excited over the discus­ sion, Elizabeth Smith Miller, daughter of the HOD. Gerritt Smith, of Peter- boro, N. Y., appeared on' the streets of our village dressed in a short skirt and full Turkish trousers. She had been wearing this costume some two or three months at home and abroad. Just how she came to adopt it I have forgotten, if I ever knew. But she wore it with the full sanction and approval of her father and husband. During her father's term in Congress she was in "Washing­ ton and the papers of that city de­ scribed her appearance on the streets in the short costume. Having had part in the discussion of the dress question it seemed proper that I should practice as I preached and as the Courier roan advised--and so a few dlays later I, too, donned the new costume, and in the next issue of my paper announced that fact to my veaders. At the outset I had no . idea of fully adopting the style--no thought of setting a fash­ ion--no thought that my action would create an excitement throughout the civilized world and give to the style my name and the credit due Mrs. Miller. This was.all the work of the press. I stood amazed at the furor I had unwit­ tingly caused. The New York Trib­ une contained the first notice I saw of my action. Other papers caught it up and handed it about. My exchanges all had something to say. Some praised and some blamed, some com­ mended and some ridiculed aud con­ demned. "Bloomerism," "Blooiner- ites" and "Bloomers" were the head­ ings of many an article, item and squib, and finally some one--I don't know to whom I am indebted for the honor--wrote of the "Bloomer cos­ tume," aud the name has contiuned to cling to the short dress, in spite of mv disclaiming all right to it and giving Mrs. Miller's name as the originator, or the first to wear the dress in public. As soon as it became known that I was wearing the new style, letters came pouring in upon me by hundreds from women all over the country, making in­ quiries about the dress and asking for patterns--showiDg how ready and anx­ ious women were to throw off" the bur­ den of long, heavy skirts.. It seemed as though half of the letters iu the mails were for me. My subscription list ran up amazingly into the thousauds, and the good wo­ man's rights doctrine was thus scattered from Canada to Florida, and from Maine to California. I had gotten myself into a position from which I could not re­ cede if I had desired to do so. I-there­ fore continued to wear the style on all occasions, at home and abroad, at church and on the lecture platform, at fashion­ able parties and in my business office. I found the dress comfortable, light, easy and convenient, and well adapted to the needs of my busy life. I was pleased with it and had no desire to lay it aside, and so would not let the ridicule or cen- snre of the press move me. For some six or eight years, or so long as I re­ mained in active life, and until the pa­ pers had ceased writing squibs at my expense, I wore no other costume. During this time I was to some extent ibe, lump between fore-legs and inflf tama a. Cured her with St Jacobs Oil. 1^0. GARDNER. At nrr<;Ri«T* jwn DF.Al.Kns. THfe CHARLES A. V9SELEK CO..

"United States.*" There are some dates called to atten­ tion by recent events which are des­ tined to be memorable in different parts of the Western Hemisphere. In 1776 the United States of America were formed. In 18*24 the United State* of Mexico came into official being. In 1861 the country which had been called New Granada took the name of the United States of Columbia. In 1864 Yeuezuala became the United States of Venezuela. The year >889, just 100 years after the people of Paris had over­ thrown the Bastile, the Republicans of Brazil abolished the Empire, dethroned their Emperor, Dom Pedro, with very little violence of any kind, and estab­ lished a republic, called the United States of Brazil. The year 1889 may also be memora­ ble for the federation of the Republics of Central America, and their union into a republic which will be called the United States of Central America. A Congress or Diet of the Central American Republics, sitting at the City of San Salvador, has formally signed a pact or union,--an instrument corre­ sponding with the articles of confedera­ tion under which the United States of America were first organized,--and has. submitted this compact to the govern ments of the five Central American Re­ publics--Guatemala, Salvador, Hon* duras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. This instrument has, we believe, been ratified by three of the States named, Guatemala, Salvador and Hon­ duras. and Costa Rica is supposed to be ready to enter the union if Nicaragua also will do so. The Congress will assemble in August, 1890, at Tegucigalpa, the capi­ tal of Honduras, to choose, by lot, a president for one year, from among the Presidents of the new Republic. According to this compact, the presi­ dency of the Central American Repub­ lic will pass by rotation from State to State, year by year, during ten yeacs; but at the end of that period a constitu­ ent convention will assemble to form, as our convention did in 1787, a more perfect union. An American journal, referring tr> the tendency to federation and consolida­ tion which is one of the features of the modern political life, predicts that some day there will be in the Western Hemisphere but two countries, the United States of North America and the United States of South America. This may, indeed, be the case some time in the future, but it is likely to be a somewhat distant future. And yet it is quite possible that it may be realized long before the realization of the event which has been the favorite dream of European Republicans--the formation of the United State3 of Europe. -- Youth's Companion.

Indeed, I received flattering notices from the press of my lectures. If the dress drew the crowds that came to hear me it wns well. They heard the message I brought them, and it has borne abund­ ant fruit. My paper had many contributions on the subject of dress, so that question was for some time kept before my read­ ers. Mrs. Stanton was a frequent con­ tributor and ably defended the style. She continued to wear it at home and abroad, on the lecture platform and iu the social parlor, for two or three years, and theti the pressure brought to bear upon her by her father and other friends was so great that she finally yielded to their wishes and returned to long skirts. At least this was the under­ stood cause of her change. Elizabeth Miller wore the style for many years, but I think abandoned it several years ago. Lucy Stone, of The Woman's Jour­ nal, adopted and wore the style for many years on all occasions, but she, proclaimed liberty, equality a:id fra ternity; who invited the Jews to take their place as French citizens in a con­ quering empire, and who beat down their enemies, whether Ritterthum or Pfalfenthum, under his feet, should have roused the keenest enthusiasm in a people to whom hero-wor-hip is the graudest of traditions. Napoleon was to be their Moses and their Judas Mac­ cabeus. «He had set them free from the yoke of the Gentiles; and though he laid heavy contributions on the otcies in which they dwelt, and did not spare them any more than the rest of man­ kind, they were content, knowing that mediaeval ignorance and ferocity could not hurt them while he ruled.
