CURIOUS FACTS CoNcERNING DYsPEHsIA.-
The effect of mental disquetude in producing
this prevalent complaint, is far greater than is
supposed. 1t is well known that persons in
good health, of sound digestive organs, who
take plenty of exercise, and are free from anx-
lety, may eat almost anything, and in quanti-
ties which would kill those in different rcum-
stances. In reference to this point, DR.. Brig
ham, an English medical writer, observes -
" We do not find dyspepsia prevalent in coun-
tries where the people do eat most enormously.
Travellers in Siberia say that the people there
often eat forty pounds OF food in one day. Ad-
miral Seripchoff saw Siberian eat, directly
after breakfast, twenty-five pounds of boileu
rice, with three pounds of butter But dyspep-
sia is not common disease in Siberia We do
not learn from Captain Perry or Captain Lyon
the Arctic travellers, that their friends. the
ESquimaux, are very nervous and dyspeptic,
though they individually eat ten or twelve
pounds of food per day, washing it down with
a gallon or so of train oil. Captain Lyon was
to be sure, a little concerned for a delicate
young lady Esquimaux, who ate her candles.

New ENGLAND MEETING HoUsEs-Aftert Il c
year 100 the meeting houses in New England
were plain wooden structures, in most cases
without steepes. The windows were glazed
with diamond-shapcd glass, the walls I'M
pIastered, and the interior without any means
of heating. Through the storms of winter the
congregation Shivered with the cold during the
public worship. About one hundred and fifty
years ago in the interior of one of these rude
edifces, upon the Sabbath, could le en- the
families of New England.
The men were dressed in the fashion of the
age. They wore broad-brimmed hats, turned
up in three corners, with loops at the side long
coats, with large pocket folds and cuffs, and
without collars the buttons either plated or of
pure silver, and of the size of half dollar ;
shirts with bosom and ruffles, and with gold
and silver buckles at the wrist, united by a
link the ncckcloth or scarfs of very fine linen,
or figured stuff, embroidered, with the ends
hanging loosely. Small clothes were in fashion,
and only reached to the knee, where they
were ornamented with silver buckles of liberal
size ; the legs were covered with long grey
tassels, though shoes were some worn, orna.
mented with straps and silver buckles.
The women had black silk or satin bonnets,
gowns extremely long wasted, with tight
sleeves, or else with very short sleeves, with an
immense frill ut the elbow Females at this
time wore high hecled shoes. The ministers
wore large gowns all dpowdered wigs.

A TURKISH LADY BArH1SG.-Her attire is
first removed. An attendant takes glove
every day it is new glove-of undressed silk.
With the disengaged hand she pours over her
mistress basin after basin of warm water
Then, by means of gentle friction with the
glove, she slowly removes the salts and impuri-
ties which are deposited On the skin This
hnlshed the attendant covers the lady from
head to foot, by means of mop of downy
silk, with lather made of particular emoi-
lient soap peculiar, | believe, to Turkey.
Upon this soap depends much of that peach
like softness, and snowy witness of the skin
for which Eastern women always are so re-
markabe. 1t has the reputation of removing
stains, spots, and freckles that are not deeply
marked in the cuticle. This part of the matter
having been carefully performed the lady is again
deluged with water, heated to 10 or 1870 de-
grees and poured from a taus (basin) of sill
YER Large tOwels-we might call them
sheets-of the finest white muslin, richly en-
broldered with flowers and gold are wrapped
around her. And she is led into a saloon.
where, reclining upon heap Of cushions, she
sinks into soft, dreamhke languor, that might
become faintness, were it not for the assiduty
with which a slave fans her As soon as she
is sufficiently recovered to bear it, another
slave combs, perfumes, and dSposes her hair
in ornamental braids. The hour after the
bath is one of sleepy loveliness.

WoRrH KNowING,-One pound of green cop
peras (cOst seven celtS) dissolved in one quart
of water and poured down privy, will effec-
smells. For water closets on board ships and
steamboats, about hotels and other places,
there is nothing so nice to cleanse and purify
those places, as simple green copperas, dis
solved ; and for sick rooms, it may be placed
under the bed in anything which will hold
water. and thus render a hospital or other
places of the sick, free from unpleasant smells.
For butchers stalls, fish markets, slaughter
houses, sinks, and wherever there are putrid
and offensive gases, dissolve copperas and
sprinkle it about, and in few days the bad
smell will pass away. If a cat, rat, or mouse
die about the house, it is sure to drive away
the offensive smell
