Female Dress.

This subject is vitality important. Beside
it, diet, exercise and baths sink into insig-
nifcance. My pale-faced countrywomen
are dying for lack of room, freedom; they
are being stifed. -
Dress Reformers proclaim short skirts as
the remedy. This is we'll. The short skirt
is an improvements movement upward,
but of no consequence compared with the
REIMBURSEMENT of the dress about the mid
die of the body. The part contains the
vital organs. Is man strong? it is be-
cause the middle of his body is strong. Is
e woman vigorous? it is because the middle
of her body is developed and active.
The changes needed in woman's dress are
the following, and / believe their impor-
lance is in the order named:
l. The dress about the waist is to be very
loose, without whalebones or other stiffen-
ing, and the skirts carried with suspenders
over the shoulders.
2. The arms and legs are to be so warmly
dressed as to maintain healthy circulation.
8. The skirts to fall 70 the knee.
have said that the Importance Of these
several changes is in the order named. The
lungs, heart, liver and stomach, which to-
gether make up the fountain of life, must
have room, or the vital forces must halt.
With the corset and tight laeing, these or
gans are reduced one-third in size and two
thirds in motion.
Health and equilibrium Of circulation are
geableterms. Whoever, whatever
living thing, either animal or vegetable, has
perfect circulation has perfect health.
Whoever, whatever living thing has defec-
tive circulation has defective health. Elan

rated so far from the center Of the body,

"Be happy to him aches he comes" cried
the dear little fellow, jumping up and down
with eagerness, as he watched at the win

Horse Stables.

It is fault with most stables that they
are built for men rather than horses. We
wish to point out two common errors into
which not asfew builders are liable to fall in
constructing stables, especially those upon
farms. The first is in having the doors and
upper floors SO low as they generally are.
On account of these low doors, horses in
stinctively learn to fear them, and they shy,
rear or prance whenever led toward them
They are, also, among the most frequent
causes of poll evil. The horse when pass
ing through them, is either surprised by
something it beholds outside the building,
or checked by the voice or gesture of the
person leading him, when up goes the head
and crash comes the poll against the beam
of the doorway. A violent bruise often
results therefrom, and deep seated abscess
follows. Low hay floors also produce the
same trouble. The sudden elevation of the
head is in the horse, expressive of very
unexpected emotion. The effect is always
noticed whenever you enter the stable rap
idly Or at an unusual hour. A sudden
noise will also cause the same upward mo-
ton of the head. With low stables an
injury to the horse is almost invariably
sure to follow,
Again, the easiest position in which the
horse can stand, is when the hind feet are
the highest portion of the body, or when the
floor of the stall slants in exactly the oppo-
site direction from what it does in most
stables. This is the other error in con-
structing stables, to which we alluded.
Horses at liberty in pasture invariably
stand, when at ease, with their hind feet
elevated somewhat, and it is almost a won
der that builders of stables have not i'm
proved upon this fact before, and adapted
floors to the wantsof the horse. The mois-
ture from the horse, if the floor slanted to-
ward the forward feet, would help to keep
the forward feet moist, cool and healthy,
whereas they are now generally hot, full OF
fever, and require washing with cool soap
suds at least once day, in order 10 be kept
in healthy condition. This is not all.
Where floor slants back, the horse not m
frequently attemps to ease the heavy strain
upon the fexor tendons Of the hind legs by
hanging back upon the halter. The pres
sure upon the seat of the poll stops natural
circulation. and in time it develops itself
into deep-seated abscess. We would like
to see stable in which these two errors did
not occur. If the builder was not satisfied
with it We are sure the occupant would be,
and would repay him by long years Of good
service with unstrained limbs and a healthy
system. -Maine Farmer.
