GIRL INJROUSERST Young Lady in New York Adopt? Men's Attire. Stenographer Who Believes In Being Comfortable When at Work In Her Office?Her Ideas of Present Fashions. .New York.?The newest slogan of reform In women's dress is: "Trousers for the business woman!" If 1 ever men and women are to be equal a radical reconstruction In woman's dress must take place. say the emancipatresses of the sex. Tbe reform has already begun and a brave little stenographer In a downtown New York office Is tbe first champion or tbe cause. She has Introduced trousers and shirtwaist as costume for her working hours. While she is enthusiastic to a degree, her courage fails her when it comes to going to and from work In man's attire. For this purpose she bar a dress which she slips on. This young woman Is not of the type that has worn trousers as a matter nf nrtncinle or convenience before. She Is dark, dashing, buoyant and vlg- > orous, and the picture of her herewith I establishes her undeniable claim to ! good looks. Hitherto the women who have worn men's attire have lacked <; both youth and good looks. Some, like Dr. Mary Walker, had the courage of their convictions and dressed like men because they found men's clothes much more comfortable than their own. Others have put on coat and trousers in order the better to ! earn their living and have wept when they were discovered and had to resume the conventional apparel of their sex. But this girl stenographer i is the youngest and prettiest of the women who have entertained advanced Ideas of dress reform and have dared to carry them out. She by no means wishes to attract attention or who is adopting trousers The Trousers Girl. for the sake of being bizarre or 1 ! jnlque. She Is acting purely for com fort and health r.nd is greatly opposed :o the present styles for women, holding that they are basely Immodest. She Is a young woman who has always been full of self-respect, and In adopting trousers In place of skirts she has done so with dignity and rea{ son. Speaking of her views on dress she says: "There Is hardly a girl who ha: not k dressed herself In man's clothes some , time or other just for a lark.' There j Is not one who ever has done so but ; has sighed for the freedom of move? ment which skirts have denied her. t I am not a dress emancipator who . dreams only of her bobby. But 1 bef lieve the present 6tyle of tight skirts 1 Is not only uncomfortable but !mr modest TrouserB are far more de cent for women than their narrow skirts and low cut waists. They are I more economical and hygienic. They do not gather dust and germs the g way skirts do. and if you wear troug sers there Is no necessity for weari, Ing corsets. I never saw a girl yet , who enjoyed the corset Every one of j us wears them for the same reason as skirts?long established custom." Doubtless the present fashions have , reached such a point of absurdity that i a greater reform In women's wear - than has ever been known before will result. In the hobble skirt, fashion i overreached Itself?even Its inventors laughed at the preposteronsness of It. i- It has furnished or.e of the strongest b ar.ti suffrage arguments: "A sex that e deliberately cripples Itself is not sufll clently Intelligent to bo allowed to vote." the antls say. f | ?

NOTED SCIENTIST HAS ENCOURAGING WORD FOR DESPONDENT MEN AND WOMEN "Death before 100 years of age has jeen reached Is nothing more or less than slow suicide. A man (or woman) ; who dies at an earlier age Is simply Ignorant of the laws of health." Such was tho original and rather startling statement made by Professor James Si. Munyon. the famous Philadelphia health uuthorlty, who Is establishing health headquarters In all the large j cities of the world for tho purpose of getting in direct touch with his thousands of converts. Professor Munyon Is a living emJ>odlment of the cheerful creed he preaches. Virile, well poised, active and energetic, he looks as though he would easily attain the century age limit which he declares is the normal one. He said: "I want the people of the world to know my opinions on the sublect of health, which are the fruit of a life-time devoted to healing the sick, people of America. There Isn't a building In this city big enough to house the people In this State alone who have found health through my methods. Before I get through there won't be a building big enough to house my cured patients In this city alone. "I want, most of all, to talk to the sick people?mo invanus, me uioiuuiu,vu ones, the victims of nerve-wearing, boayracking diseases and ailments?for these are the ones to whom the message of hope which I bear will bring the greatest blessing. "I want to talk to the rheumatics, the sufferers from stomach trouble, the ones afflicted with that noxious disease, catarrh. I want to tell my story to the women who have become chronic Invalids as a result of nervous troubles. I want to talk to the men who are 'all run down,' whose health has been broken by overwork, improper diet, late hours and other causes, and who feel the creeping clutch of serious, chronic illness. "To these people I bring a story of hope. I can give them a promise of better things. I want to astonish them by showing the record of cures performed through my new system of treatment. "I have taken the best of the Ideas from all schools and embodied them In a new system of treatments Individually adnpted to each particular case. I have no 'cure alls," but mv present method of attacking disease is the very best thought of modern science. The success which I have had with these treatments in tills city and all over America proves its efficacy. Old methods must give away to ne*- medical science moves.

TIME.?The Septuaglnt account states that the occasion was "the organizing cities and countries, and all the Inhabitants of the earth from India to Ethiopia." and places the date In the ISth year of Nebuchadnezzar. This would put the event In the laBt part of B. C. 5S6, Immediately after the destruction of Jerusalem, on the king s return to Babylon. PLACE.?Babylon, the plain of Dura, somewhere In the vicinity of the city. PLACE IN THE HISTORY.-Jerusa'em destroyed. The Jews In captivity throughout the Babylonlc empire. Daniel In the service of the empire In some part. Jeremiah In Jerusalem. King Zed.-klah and Jeholachlm captives at Babylon. Ezeklel at Chebar In Babylonia. So far as we can learn, Nebuchadnezzar'n great assemblage of people from all over his empire had for Its object the consolidation of bis whole kingdom. He had Just returned from a triumphant campaign against his enemies In the west and south? against Egypt, Syria and Arabia?and he celebrated his return by the erection of a colossal image and a grand religious festival. The golden image 'might mark the close of a period of conquest and Inaugurate a period of peace. The victories of peace were to absorb the remaining half of bis reign. The empire was composed of various countries and races, diverse from one another in disposition, character and Interests. They were united by no natural affinity, but by conquest The whole empire might easily fall to pieces. Nebuchadnezzar would bind these diverse elements by the power of religious worship, at a common center, (ft one chief god over all the multitude Idols. As the Jews were bound together b^ a magnificent temple at their capital, Jerusalem, whither all went up to worship, so Nebuchadnezzar would place at his capital a lfuge and costly Imagfe, the glory and attraction of the nmnire. His making Habylon a magnificent city would aid this work. Great fortifications, towers, walls, fmples, gates of bronze, hanging gardens, palaces, public buildings of blue, red, yellow and white, the Tower of the Seven Spheres, the Wonder of Mankind palace?all these would attract people to the capital, as Mohammedans are drawn to Mecca. The multitudes were gathered on the plain around the golden image glittering and radiant in the sun. Besides the officers In their richly colored attire, there was a motley gathering of tribes from every direction. All diversities of speech and dress and manners were there; all varieties of complexion, from the pale bronze of the Persian to the black of the Ethiopian. National enemies stood side by side. Dwellers on plain and mountain, in walled towns and In tents of the desert, were In the throng. They spoke many languages, as if the confusion of tongues had been repeated in the same Dabel. Heradls cried aloud their proclamation In all languages, that when the bands struck their martial music all the people must fall down and worship the golden Image; "And whoso falleth not down and worshipt-Knll oanio hour be cast into the infest of a burning flery furnace." The bands played, and the whole multitude bowed their faces to the ground. Then a strange thing took place; three men stood up alone, and were conspicuous all over the plain, like a city set upon a hill, by their unbowed forms and their splendid robes of office. These three were, Shadrach, Meshach and Abcd-nego, the three young men who Joined with Daniel In refusing to defile themselves with the king's meat. They must have been at this t'me 30 to 35 years old, In the prime of young manhood and usefulness. They were rulers In the province of Babylon, and therefore prominent men. This conduct was quickly reported to the king. Then Nebuchadnezzar In his rage and fury said: "Now If ye be ready, to obey, the past will be forgiven. But If ye worship not, a burning fiery furnace! I>et the music sound. And who Is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? The three, with truly magnificent and unflinching courage, appear to have answered promptly and without hesitation, showing that they had carefully considered the subject and that with them it was a matter of settled and Intelligent principle: "We have no need to answer thee," to explain how God could deliver them, or why they must obey him. Tfiere was nc time, nor would the king understand. "If It be so, we are cast Into the flery furnace. In spite of all you say, our God whom we serve Is able to deliver us." I Thev were put Into the furnace A writer thinks they were bound hand I nnd foot with their own clothes. The king sat watching the issue of the matter, looked through the door Intc the furnace, and saw a sight at which he was astonished and terrified. He was astonished that the three men were not consumed; that they were loose; that a fourth was with them The thought flashed upon him that he has come Into conflict with a new and unknown power. He rose up in haste expressing the strength of his astnn ishment nnd terror. The princes saw these men. The deliverance wai public, unmistakable, and proved by many witnesses. The king recognized the power of the Jews' God. The miracle would make such an Impression on the princes and peo pie that the king could more easily treat the Jews kindly. Men who were so faithful to their God that they would die rather than do wrone would be faithful to their king, and could be trusted in all matters. Henct j they were reinstated In their placet with more Influence and permanenci than ever.
