Curious. Fcntnrc. OF Wnr.

War presents some curious features TO our
view. 1t has drained our cities in large part
of redundant, idle, diseased and degraded
class these either soon die or are killed off,
But there are examples not few where the ac-
tivites of the camp, its discipline and its expe-
rience. have made invadsHrobust; have i'm
parted higher moral tone to some, and given
character and energy to others, who before were
by common consent considered 10 be inane and
worthless.
When man of good common education
and some steadiness of character, goes to war
and fairly engages in battle, he is thereafter,
until his dying day, more of a man than he ever
was before. No one of even common observa-
ton can have failed to notice in the faces of re.
turned veteran regiments as they have marched
along our streets, stereotype cast of counte-
nance, common 10 all there is an imprint o

an elevation of spirit, despite OF tattered gar.

KEEN REToRr.-During the sitting Of a
county court, not long ago in Connecticut, on Il
very cold evening, crowd of lawyers had col
lected around tie open fire that bazed cheer
fully on the hearth in the bnr-room, when a
traveller entered bcnumbed with cold but no
one moved to give him place to warm his
5hins, so he fcanet against the wall in the back
part of he room. At last smart young limb
OF the law addressed him, when the following
dialogue took place:
"Yon look like trayeiierP"
"Wall, suppose | am come from Wis
consin a foot. at any rate"
From Wisconsin, Wha. distance to go
on one pair of legs"
"Wall, done it, anyhow"
II say, did you ever pas, through hell in
your travels ?"
"Yes. sir; I've been through the outskirts"
81 Thought likely. Well, what are the man
ners and customs there9 Some of US would
like to know"
"Oh. you'll find them very much the same
as in this place; the lawyers sit highest TO the
fire"

How TO BE HANDSOMELY is perfectly ma
tural for all women TO he handsome. If they
are not so the fault lies in their birth, or in
their training, or in both, We would there
fore respectfully remind mothers that in Po-
land periol of childhood is recognized.
There, may he found beautiful women. There,
girls do not jump from infancy to womanhood.
They are not sent from the cra,lle directly to
the drawing-room,to dress, sit still and look
pretty. During childhood, which extends
through period of several years, they are
plainly and loosely dressed, and allowed to run,
romp, and play, in the open air. They take
sunshine as does the flower. They are not
loaded down, girded about, and oppressed in
every way, with countless fris and superabun-
dant founces, so as TO be much admired for
their much clothing. Plain, simple food, free
and varied exercise, and good mental culture,
during the whole period of childhood, are the
secrets Of beauty in after life. American moth.
ers should heed these facts, and, in the traini "
Of their girls, remember that the beauty SO
much desired can only be made enduring
through obedience to Natures unerrng laws,
with which they can easily become familiar

STRENGTH OF MATEBiALs.-It il remark
,be fact that the most abundant material in
nature, iron, is the strongest of all known sub
stances. Made into best steel, n rod one. fourth
of an inch in diameter will sustain 5000 pound,
before breaking; soft steel 1000 pounds iron
wire 5000, bar iron 1000, inferior bar iron 200O.
east iron 1000 10 5000, copper wire 5000, silver
1000, gold 300, tin 300, cast zinc 100, sheet
zinc 1000, cast lead 50, mied lead 200
OF woods, box and locust, the same size, will
mold 1900 pounds, the toughest ash 1000, elm
6OO beech, cedar, white oak and pitch pine 600,
chestnut and soft maple $50, white pine $780,
poplar 400. Wood which will bear very
heavy weight for minute or two, will break
with two-thirds the force long time.
A rod of good iron is about ten times as
strong as hemp cord. a rope an inch in di-
ameter will bear about two and half tons I;
but in practice it is not safe to subject it to a
strain OF more than about one ton. Half an
nch in diameter the strength will be one-quar-
Ter as much; a quarter OF an inch, one-six-
teenth as much, and so on.

CURE FOR CoRPULENCE.-Corpul9n can
be cured in every instance, except where de-
pendent upon certain peculiar diseases. When
puglsts commence "training" for prize fight,
they ATE commonly found, from previous indul-
gence, too fat for victory. The very first step,
therefore, taken by the trainer, is to reduce his
man to proper thinness. This is saccomplish-
ed with unerring certainty, by subjecting him
to proper diet and exercise, and no difficulty Is
found in it. A gentleman, who weighed about
two hundred and twenty pounds applied 10 me
to reduce him to proper dimensions l 'mme-
dirtely put him upon an allowance oil eignt
ounces of food day, consisting OF lean meat,
bread and vegetables at the same time, or
dared him TO walk len miles daily, or, in lieu
of II 10 take three hours hard exercise in the
gymnasium BY following these rules, he speed
~ reduced his weight some forty pounds, and
having thus learned how to manage the mat
ter. he never became corpulent. The rules for
reducing corpulence may be practically con-
densed as follows; lst Take three hours
hard muscular exercise daily. I'd. Weigh out
the allowance of food each day, eight ounces
for man, or six for woman. This quantity
must not be exceeded, and must consist OF
lean meat, bread and vegetables, without any
fatty substances. Under such management, the
obesity will rapidly disappear without injury
to The health. When the proper thinness is
attained, the food may be increased TO a reas-
enable quantity.-People's Dental Journal.

PRUNING BIACKBERRIEs.-Perso having
cultivated the New Rochelle blackberry, are
possessed Of sufficient knowledge to understand
the fact that the longer they allow the canes to
remain unpruned, the lateral branches are pro-
portionably shorter, and the fruit smaller. To
obtain the largest-size berries and the largest
quantsty too, cut back the leading canes to not
exceeding -four feet in length and shorten in
also the lateral branches. This will be found
to increase also the breadth OF the stool, atfor-
ding more bearing room, and generally to re-

IMPORTANCE or GRAVEL STONES FOR Fowls.
Reader, did you ever dissect The gizzard Of a
hen, turkey,goose, or duckP The gzzard and
gravel stones in it, serve the purpose Of teeth,
in reducing the food to small particles in order
to facilitate digestion. The food is swallowed
in chunks, or the grain is received into the crop
unbroken. Here all such substances are soft
ened, and passed, little at time, through the
gizz1rd, which is surrounded by strong mus
cles and when food is passing through it. it
dilates and contracts similar to l,w motion of
bellows, and the food, kernels Of grain coming
in contact with the gravel stones, is separated
and torn TO pieces. After the process is com
pleted, the food is digested. These little mill
stones as it were, do not remain long in the
gizzord they are carried out with the food, and
n new set is brought along. from the crop, TO
be thus ground. Now, If fowls are confined as
they often are, where they cannot have access
to all the sharp gravel they need their diges-
tion must be imperfect, and they cannot do well,
especially if fed on whole grain. Fowls need
sharp gravel stones within their reach TO swal-
low every day, and if they do not have range,
gravel should be kept by them in their inclo-
sures.--BOstOn Cultirdor.
