Dress Of Our Extremities.

During the damp aud cold season,
says Dr.. Dio Lewis, deficient dress of the
feet and legs is a fruitful source of dis.
ease. The head, throat, aud liver are
perhaps the most frequent sutfercrs. The
legs and feet are far from the central part
of the body. They are not in great mass,
like the trunk, bu: extond and enveloped
by the atmosphere. Besides they are
near the damp cold earth. For these
and other reasons they require extra
covering. If VIC would secure the high
est physiological conditions, We must give
our extremities more dress than the body.
We men wear upon our legs, in the cold
est season, but two thicknesses Of cloth.
The body has at least six. Women put
on them four thicknesses under the shawl,
which, with its various doublings, furn-
ishes several more-,hcn over all thick,
padded furs; while their legs have one
thickness Of cotton under balloon. They

Yesterday one said to me, "All my

LEpRosy IN INDIA The disease sen.
orally msulfssts itself at from twenty .
thirty years Of sge, snd proves fatal in
from twelve to thirty. 1t is, however,
very seldom in itself attended by such re.
sults; but it COMMONLY induces predis-
position to other diseases, such as dysen.
terry, low fcaver, etc., from which tho
patient generally dies. II is allowed
that it more commonly attack, the male
sex; but as females can and do conceal
the dserse, and are themselves preven-
ted from appearing in public when be-
longing to any but the poorer classes, this
assertion must be accepted with an al.
lowance Opinions appear to be divided
as to whether it attacks Europeans in
this country or not. 1t affects HiDdoos
and Mohammedans almost equally, and
occurs buth among high. caste men, who
eat only vegetables, and low. caste men,
who cut every thing. The disorder 10
by some attributed to the miserable way
in which natives live, in foul, unventil-
uted houses, along side miasmatic marsh.
cs aud heaps of oil kinds # filth, wear.
ing clothes which they never put off cx.
eep. for u few minutes wlea they dip
them in some pond, and their generally
unccan habits. Dut in this some Of the
writer's can not agree. The disease is
considered hereditary. DR.. Pasks, Of
Saharunpore, states that the belief ia the
hereditary transmission Of this disease
was SO deeply grounded in the minds Of
Rajsbecr generally that they were in the
sssbn Of lurying sliye not only tho leper
himsef, but ull his relatives aud friends,
lest in multiplying their kind the disease
should be communicated to distant gen.
erations. Of course the practice has
been checked by Government. In
Shrecnurger Gurhwal, similar custom
prevailed, Every person effected with
leprosy was buried alive, a father burying
his son, aud sou his father. Here also
Government ioterposed. Although tho
natives believe that eprosy is contag agious,
the authors Of the reports on this subject
are decidedly Of a different opinion
| L"pers retain their wives, who arc never
affected; hospital servants who wash the
ulcers Of these unhappy sufferers remain
free; wealthy lepers entertain men for the
same purpose who wash aud dress thcis
sores once or twice day, and are in con.
slant attendance on them, and are yet un.
touched by the disorder. DR.. Corbin,
of Bareilly, mentions an instance Of .
woman who is leper being employed 40
cook 10 public seria, aud she assureo
him that 10 objection had ever been made
by travellers to food prepared by her.

The Continent an Iceberg.

Prof Agassiz. in the atlantic Month
", comes TO the conclusion that the
continent of North America was at one
time covered with ice mile in thickness
The proof is that the slopes Of the Ale
gheuy range Of mountains are glacier
worn on the very top, except a few points
which were above the level of the icy
mass. Mount Washington, for instance,
is over six thousand feet high, and the
rough, unpublished surface of its SUBMITS,
covered with loose fragments, just below
the level at which the glacicr-marks come
to an end, tell US that it lifted its head
alone above the desolate waste Of ice and
snow. In this ,o,ion, then, the thick
ness Of the sheet cannot have b.en much
less than six thousand feet, and this is in
keeping with the same kind Of evidence
in other parts Of the country; for, when.
ever the mountains arc much below six
thousand feet the ice seems to have pass
cd directly over them, while the few
peaks rising on the nights are left un.
touched. The glacier, ho argues, was

man. The hard surface Of the rocks was
ground to powder, the clements of the
soil we're mingled in fair proportions,
granite was carried into the lime regions,
lime was mingled with the more arid and
uopreductive districts, and soil was
prepared 6t for the agricultural uses of
man. There arc evidences all over the
polar regions to show that at one period
tho hest of the tropics extended sll over
the globe. The ice period is supposed
