They concluded to drop in few stones,

with wonder and alright, and suddenly
the atmosphere was filled with smell SO
nauseating that three of the five men were
taken very sick; the two, discovering the
condition of their companions, dragged

and, hitching their horses, proceeded on

the cave. They hurled in three or four
large stones, and fell back some fifteen |

THE TERM OF EGYPTrAN Beauty
Beauty if it exist at all in Egypt, is ex-
ceedingly short lived. should not doub,
its existence, for have seen among the
copper-colored countenances of the native
girls, some whose mould was ofthe finest.
whose features were chiseled with great
regularity; but the downcast look-the
worn and weary air-the sad eyes and
heavy lips, idicate the early decay of all
that is lovely. They are usually mar
ried at twelve or thirteen years of age,
and life then, among the lower classes,
becomes more burden than JOY.
Among the wealthy, who live in luxury
and ease, am told it is not very different.
The form does not retain its roundness
and elasticity even to the ordinary age of
young beauty with US. Women are old
mere at twenty, very old at thirty, yet they
live TO be much older, of course; and at
sixty or seventy they are not very different
in appearance from thirty or forty

TEA AS a SUMNER DRINk.-A little
editorial of ours with the above caption
has been going the rounds of the city and
country press without credit. OF course,
the latter circumstances is, as Toots would
say, of no consequence, but one Of the
country papers prints the article with the
concluding remark, so says Dickens,
which induces us to say that Dickens
never said anything of the kind, but that
ours is the voice that sounded the praises
of iced tea. And, by the way, let US re.
mark that iced coffee, with sugar and
cream, is summer beverage that goes to
the exhausted spot most effectuaIly. We
wonder that some of our saloon keepers
don't advertise these delightful drinks
(which cheer but not inebriate,' among
their sodas and water ices and creams, ali
of which are inferior to them both in re-
freshment and sustaining power. But
improvement, as Burke said ofconfdence,
is plant of slow growth, and we suppose
it will be century before the public finds
out what luxuries iced tea and coffee are
in the summer solstice.-Sat. Eve. Post.

t How TO TREAT YOUR HUSBAND. Study
your husbands temper aud character; but
be il your pride and pleasure to conform
to his wishes. Check at once the first ad-
| vance to contradiction, even of the most
trivial nature. Beware Of the first dis
pute.
Let your husband be dear and of more
consequence to you than any other human
being; and have no hesitation in confess
sing these feelings to him.
Endeavor to make your husbands $ habs
itation alluring and delightful to him.
Let it be sanctuary to which his heart
may always turn from the ills and ankle
ties of life.
/ know not two female attractions so
captivating TO men as delicacy and mod
esty.
If possible, let your husband suppose
you think him good husband, and it
viii be strong stimulus to his being so.
No attraction renders woman at all
times SO agreeable to her husband as cheer
fnlness and good humor.
Ia the article of dress study your hns-
bands taste, and endeavor to wear what
he thinks becomes you best.
Make yourself as useful to him as you
can, and let him see you employed as
much as possible in economical pursuits.
j Endeavor to feel pleased with you hus-
bands friends.
Encourage in your husband desire
of reading aloud at his leisure hours.
How indecorous and offensive is it to
see a woman exercising authority over
a husband, and saying, 4 will have it so,'
it shall be done as I like,' etc.

ANIMAL DIET BAD FoR CHILDREN.
There is no greater error in the manage
nent of children than that Of giving them
animal diet very early. By perse, ering
in the use of an overstimulating diet, the
digestive organs become irritated, and the
various secretions Immediately connec-
ted with, and necessary to, digestion, are
diminished, especially the hillary scores
ton, and constipation of the bowels and
congestion Of the abdominal circulation
succeed. Children so fed become, more
over. very liable to attacks of fever and
inflammation, affecting particularly the mu-
cous membranes; and measles, and the
other diseases incident to childhood, are
generally very severeiu their attack. In
