ABSTINENCE OF ROMAN NoaEs-The an
cieEt Romans. in some respects, were IN I'D.
vance Of the present age il their practical
physiological knowledge. This was espec>
tally the case in the habits Of the women
They seemed TO be fully aware or tie fact
that hardy race must be born of hesl,hful
mothers, and consequently ary usage or
practice likely to affect mi uriously the health
of women was viewed By the State with sus-
picion. The muscles were systematically
educated. Frequent bathing was required
BY law. Large lighthouses we're establish
ed, which were places OF common resort. For
several centuries Of the best ages of Rome,

after. i. was considered Infamous for . Ro-

offer glass OF wine to one Of the women Of
the household was looked upon as a deep IN
suit. as j. implied a wan, Of chastity on her
part. History records seyera! instances
where they were pat 10 death by their has
bands because they smelt Of wine. The con.
sequence Of this strict physical training and
abstinence from all intoxicating liquor was,
that the Romans we're noted for their endu.

The savage tribes who are natives Of the
extreme northwestern coast pf America, are
comprised under the generic name of Knlo-
ches Of sitka, recognize as the founder Of
their race, man whom they called Elkin,
who dwelt under the especial favor and pro-
tection Of the crow, q bird whom they wor-
ship as the first cause Of all things. What
created the crow, or what gave that interest.
ing black bird such power, the kalocbes
profess ignorance, and they dispose Of the
question by the customary answer in such
cases-i. G., that i was so ordained from the
beginning. They have also the tradition Of
an universal deiuge, from which their auces
tor we're saved by some escaping in boats
TO the tops Of the highest mountains. The
kaloches believe that the soul exists after
death. but without being subject either to
reward or punishment. They have few re-
ligious Cbservances, bat human sacrifices
form one Of them. The victims are always
slaves, and the only slaves in Russian A mer-
lea are captiyes taken il war. The master
has plenary power of life and death over hia
slaves, and cruelty toward their enemies is
distinguishing feature Of ali these savage
tribes. In the minds Of most Of them every
stranger is regarded as on enemy.
The whole education oil these saTages from
birth is aimed az the sole end Of terrifying
their bodies to endure every species Of hard
ship. If they feel cold they are stripped ma
ked ard seated in tub Of water. Some
times the Kaioehes are found in water, in
the depths Of the forest, sleeping arourd
FIRE, one side nearly roasted. while the other
is covered with frost. They are Of phey-
matte temperament, despise death, aud are
brave to the verge Of desperation iu battle.
In the ordinary sifairs oil life they are indo-
lent and careless. They marry without
priest Or ceremony, and their rich men have
as many as four or Eve wives apiece. The
chief art prac;iced among them IS the bald
ing Of canoes in which they are much skill.
ed. They are great lovers Of fsasis, and
this means among them eating gattonous
quantity of food, and following it up with
dance. II Is their custom 10 burn the bodies
