The great heat rsr,p;nI.. renders the quantity of pe-sp;rat;on r,ar'. uncomfortable, but it is this alona rnou which the safety ofthe individual depends. The heat can no more penetrate the body through the precipitation, than a sword could penetrate through a coat of mail.- Should he remain until precipitation ceased. or should the oven be so hot as to drv the precipitation faster than it could he snnnI;- ed, deGtk would be inevitable. 5ead oody, like the streak, having no power of 1 supplying fluid to the surface as fast as it eVaPorated.

The aannels in which Mons. c: is wrapped, are only useful in keeping the heat from coming too sudden y in contact with his body.
 HandOO WOmen.-The forms of the wo- men of the high castes arc delicate and graceful; their eyes dark and languishing: their hair fine and long the complexions glowing, as if they were radiant; and their skins remarkably polished and soft. The only feature about them that does not quite harmonize with European notions of fe- male symmetry is the size and projection of their ear; but with this exception. nothing can be more blithe and sylphlike shansga genuine Hindoo beauty. Their aress IS very elegant, and upon fine form IS more classical than the fashionable bun- dies of knots, tatters, and head dresses as broad as the umbrella over a palanoujn. which in Enc epresent year, 1881, give the bellies America an outline. which. if it siionle please nature to fill up with flesh |and blood. would certainly render them of Rll created beings the most shapeless, or at apx rate the most unmeaning in shape, ei- kRsr for use or ornament. The close part
 1ae Hindoo female dress is jacket with ssaH sleeves, which fits tight to the shape. and covers. but does not conceal the bust. and this in females of rank is made of rich silk. The remainder of the dress is the sholIce, large piece of silk or cotton, which is wrapped round the middle, and contrived to fall in graceful folds, till it falls below the ancle on one leg, while it shows part of the other. 1t is gathered in a bunch in front, and the upper end crosses the breast, and is thrown forward again over the shoulder. or over the head like veil. The hands and feet are always adorned with rings and other ornaments, and sometimes a jewel is worn from the nose. Even the working girls have their ancIets and armlets of glass. iiR, brass iap4gs higher classes wear kind of slippers or sandals, which arc long, turned up, and sometimes ornamented at the points but the poorer classes go barefooted. The or naments that are worn upon the person are the only costly articles in the estab- lishment of Hindoo, but they are of a na- ture not soon to wear out, and they never become unfashionablc.
 Faith.-Would you know tho value of this principle of faith to the bereaved? Go and follow corpse to the grave. See the body deposited there, and hear the earth ! thrown in upon all that remains of your friend. Return now, if you will, and brood over the lesson which your senses have given you, and derive from it what consolation you can. You have learned nothing but an unconsoling fact. No voice of comfort issues from the tomb. All is still there, and blank and lifeless, and has been so for ages.
 You see nothing but bodies dissolving and excessively mingling with the clods
 which cover them the grass growing over the spot and the trees waving in sullen ma [jesty over this region of eternal silence. 1 And what is there more Nothing Conc, faith, and people these deserts Come and rcanimate these regions of for- getfulness !-Mothers, take again your children to your arms. fur they are living.

 A QUEER 'UN, AND NOT so BAD.-The following advertisement appears in the
 Broome Republican. If the advertiser is as honest in his dealings as in his profess sions, he will regain reputation which he more than inlimates has beon in rather a shabby way:
