WOMANS DRESS.-A late HuupeT VI llio
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal pub
fishes a paper, read before ''the Boston So
ciety for Medical Improvement" by DIR.
w. E.. Coale, on the present fashion OF
dress amongst our women in its relation to
their health. The following paragraph
merits the wise consideration of all whom 1t
concerns:
"INith a view of improving their shape,
the lower part of the dress OF women now
consists of six, eight, or even more.
skirts, made of various materials; cotton
the stiff woolen material intended for cur
talns, called moreen-Aannel, and at times
quilted with cotton wool-welghing togeth-
er, as ascertained by actuel experiment,
ten, twelve, and even fifteen pound. Each
of these is supported by string drawn very
tightly round the body. We have seen the
marks of these strings for days after the
skirts have been removed-we have seen
them even after death. Here, then, is the
first source of evil-the continued pressure
and constraint that these strings keep up,
evidently embarrassing greatly the organs
within. When to this, however, we add
the weight of the skirts, we cannot but al
once perceive how great an additional force
is set to work, particularly if its operation
as exerted upon organs having amongst
themselves a mobility almost as great as
that of Aucd-be properly estimated. Tc
protect the abdominal viscera against this
pressure, remember there is nothing, in
front at least, save thin partition of wo-
mans soft and tenslonless muscle. That
these viscera should be forced downwards
is not surprising; that they must in turn ex'
ert an equal force downward OH the pelvic
viscera is apparent. Here
we have an explanation full, and we trust
convincing, of the frequency of disease in
the Youngest and heartiest of the sex
which twenty years since was considered
peculiar to those whose powers OF life were
greatly exhausted by demands upon them, Of
we're already on the decline from age; al
explanation, I may mention in passing, no
vet offered, as far as can ascertain, by any
other writer"

Prints illustrating the fashions of this coun

costumes of England or France for any pc
Rod, prove this. About fifteen years since
as ball dress, the shoulder-straps were LET
off, so that the upper line of the dress wa
perfectly horizontal, and this, with the elias
tic views of delicacv so peculiar to fashion
was often low enough to disclose the edg

HrsToRY OF ALcoHoL.-Alcohol was In
vented $50 years ago, by the son OF
strange woman, Hagar, in Arabia. Ladies
used it with powder to paint themselves,
that they might appear more beautiful ana
this powder was called alcohol. During the
reign of William and Mary, an act was pass
ed encouraging the manufacture OF spirits
Soon after intemperance and prohigacy pre-
vailed to such an extent that the rets,lers
in Intoxicating drinks put UP signs in pub
lie places, informing people that they mishs
get drunk on penny, and have some straw
to get sober on. In the sixteenth century.
distilled spirits spread over the continents
of Europe. About this time it was intro
duced into the colonies, as the United States
were then called. The first notice we have
of its use in public life, was among the Ia.
borers in the Hungarian mines, in the nj
teenth century. In 1881, it was used by
the English soldiers as cordial. The al
cohol in Europe was made from grapes
and sold in Italy and Spain as medicine.
The Genoese afterwards made it from grain
and sold it as medicine in bottles, under the
name of the water of life. Until the six
teenth century it was only kept by aPothe..
carries as a medicine. During the reign OF
Henry VII, brandy was unknown in Ire,
land, and soon its alarming effects induced
the government to pass law prohibiting
its manufacture. About l2O years ago it
was used as a beverage, especially among
the soldiers in the English colonies In
North America, under the preposterous no
ton that it prevented sickness and made
mon fearless on the field of battle. 1t was
looked look d upon as IS sovereign specific. Such
is brief sketch of the introduction of alec
hol into society as beverage. The;histo-
ry of it is written in the wretchedness, the
tears, t the groans, the poverty and murder
of thousands. 1t has marched through the
land with the tread of giant, leaving the
impress of its footsteps in the bones' SIM
ews. and life's-blood of the people.

LY,Nc.-Lying supplies those who are
addicted to it with plausible apology for
every crime, and with a supposed shelter
from punishment. 1t tempts them to run
into danger from the mere expectation Of
impunity and when practced with frequent
success, it teaches them to confound tho
gradations ofguilt from the effects of which
there is, in their imaginations, at least, .
a sure and common protection. Hcorrupts
the early simplicity of youth; it blasts tho
farest blossoms Of genius; and will most
assuredly, concentrate every effort by whsch
we may hope to improve the talents and
mature tho virtues Of those whom it IN
fccts.

This Iimncr's work-oh how It ialis
To tell what thou art now,
And ali thy nobler beauty wells
Beneath that joyous brow
For il has made that brow of snow'
So free from thought and care
That hfe's emotions do but snow
In sportive action there
II gives thee only hopes bright eyes,
And hair of youths gay hue,
And spreads along thy cheek such dyes
As are young beauty's due
1t teaches ,hy soft lip 10 smile,
As though that smile had birth;
In realms where there is known no guile
No baueiul breath OF earth.
And oh within those lips seem hid
A voice that well might speak,
And tell of love, a. Phvshe's diu,
When pressed 20 Cupid's cheek.
The Rose aboTe thy temple bound,
Amid its leaves OF green;
Is there an emblem aptly found,
OF fwhat thy life had been
Yes-Nature's gifts, Arts plastic hand'
But did she now before them stand'
They'd find her lovelier there
They now might see, how Time has given
Those eyes mellowed light;
Bengnant, as in orbs KIND heaven
Has sent to golden night.
And how that check, where conscious glows
The sense Of duties filled;
Is loyelier far than when the rose
Its bushes there distilled.
Or could they open her pure breast,
And Law its pulses bare;
BY husband children, kindred blest,
Who its fond throbbings share.
Or feel the welcome words that fall
Like music's magic souud;
Echoing aliiiction's plaintve call,
And soothing grief when found
Could they but trace the whining ways
That bind my steps 10 home;
Or feel the bliss her pm conveys,
Where'er, abroad, | roam.

They left the ship with heavy hearts, and

The others heard the remark, and all fell

fulfil his promise.
"Well. look here, now," said Jack, as the
woman approached, "there's reason in all
things; she's as old as Methusaleh's wife,
and as homely as mink"
"No excuse" replied the crew; ''you

A Snake STORY.

The visitors at the State Geological Hall,
that museum of million curiosites, must
have observed with interest, the collection
of snakes peculiar to this State, which our
friend Gebhard preserves in large glass and
wire cages. In one of these crystal snake
palaces, during the past winter, there has
been confined "Heterodon," commonly
called the Blower" twenty inches long,
thick, clumsy snake, that subsists on frogs,
and has swallowed five large toads within
a wear past. A spotted adder or ''mllk
snake" two feet and half long, and very
strong and muscular, and aribbon snake a
bout eighteen inches long. The fellows
were ali caught in the Croton Mountains OF
/ Westchester county about year ago, and
sent to the State Geological Rooms. They
have lived in peace and harmony together
! ever since; the blower attending to the toad
department offeeding, the ribbon snake 60.
ing into the angle worms with the gusto OF
an ! epicure, while the adder, like the chame-
leon. fed on air. On Friday morning MIR.
G.. observed that on the night previous the
snake had cast its skin, and came forth as
bright, yellow and glossy as golden com
fresh from the mint. Suddenly the adder
advanced and seized the ribbon snake by
the head. and wound his strong folds round
his body and commenced the operation OF
swallowing more difficult, but the adder
holding on firmly by its small hooks, threw
its body round it, and stretched out Its VIC
tim like India rubber each time swallowing
/. l;ttIe more. The adder would loosen the
upper hooks and advance forward quarter
Of an inch and loosen the lower ones and
advance them, the ribbon snake struggling
all the while until its head reached its cap
tors stomach, and gastric juices worked,
and the process of digestion commenced,
when it slowly died. The adder was three
hours in gorging himself, swallowing the
whole of the ribbon snake, when he stretch
ed himself out as fat and happy as an alder
man after dinner. ,.c
The blower looked on with perfect lndlt-
ference, for the last big toad he eat had sat
isfed his appetite. To othe scientific this OPP
peration is highly interesting, for dairy
men and women have always proclaimed
the received opinion that adders would climb
about the legs of cows and gorge on milk
from their teats. Mr.. Gebhard, to test this,
on several occasions has offered Mr.. Adder
milk. and even forced it into his mouth, Tor
he handles snakes as children do their toys,
but he showed an aversion to It, 1t is eyl-
dent that other snakes are his food and ne
can swallow one almost as large as himself,
unless it possess strength enough to resist
him successfully. The adder has cast its
skin three times within the past year. The
next time it gets hungry it will go at the
blower, unless living young snakes are CIV
en- to it to feed upon. Strange to say 1t
will not eat any thing unless alive and KICK

ers of steam, and was moved by its power
A. d. $40, Anthemius, an architect, ar
ranged several calGrons of water, each COW
cred with the wide bottom of aleathern
tube, which rose to a narrow top with
pipes extended to the rafters of the adJoln-
ING building A fire was kindled heneath
the caldrons, and the house was shaken by
the efforts of the steam ascending the tubes.
This is the first notice Of the power OF steam
recorded. :,
In 1913, July II, Blasco De Garoy tried
steamboat of 206 tons with tolerable sue
cess at Barcelona, Spain. 1t consisted OF a
caldron of boiling water and movable
wheel on each side of the ship. 1t was laid
aside as impracticable. A present, how
ever, was made to Garoy.
In 1850 the first railroad was constructed
at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The first idea OF steam engine IN Eng
land was in the Marquis OF Worcester S
"Hlstory of Inventions" " A. d. 1868.
In 171O Newcomer made the first steam
engine in England.
In 1718 patents were granted to Savary
for the first application of the steam en-
gine.
In 1854 James Watt made the first per-
feet steam engine IN England.
In 1876 Jonathan Hulls first set forth the
idea of steam navigation.
In ITS Thos. Paine first proposed this
application in America.
In 1871 Marquis Joufroy constructed one
on the Saone.
In 1885 two Americans published work
on it.
In 1889 VIM. Tymington made voyage
in one on the Forth and Clyde Canal.
In 1902 this experiment was repeated.
1882 Ramsey propelled q boat by steam
at N. Y.
In 1857 John Fitch, of Philadelphia, nav
igated boat by steam engine ON the Del
aware.
In 1893 Robert Fulton first began to ap-
ply his attention to steam.
In 1863 Oliver Evans, native OF Phlla-
delpha, constructed locomotive steam en-
cine to travel on turnpike road.
