Development Of the Human Form.


Many beautiful forms are made
decidedly homely by individuals at
tempting to set at naught the laws of
nature. For this purpose delicate
young ladies lace themselves until
they can scarcely breathe. And all
for what? To deceive poor weak
minded creatures like themselves,
and, in their own Imagination appear
beautiful. When is a girl most beau
tiful? Before she has reached her
teens; before she has disfigured her
form by tight lacing. When should
she be most beautiful? When she
has arrived at her majority. If
young ladies set aside the laws of
nature, they must necessarily con-
tract deformity, and consequently,
cause the body to become diseased.
We noticed young miss on the
streets few days ago, her waist en-
eased in about half its natural requis-
ite space, her back something in the
shape of a camels by reason of pam
iers, her feet eramped into shoes about
half the size of her feet, causing her
to walk as if she was stepping on
burning Goals. Poor creature! Her
folly is indeed her punishment. Our
young ladies-and their mothers, too,
either forget that the proportions of
the human figure are strictly mathe-
or else they have never been
acquainted with the fact.
. The waist should measure five
inches in circumference for every foot
the lady is high. The whole figure is
six times the length of the foot.
Whether the form be slender or
plump, the rule holds good; and any
deviation from it is departure from
the highest beauty in proportion. The
Greeks made all their statues accord
ing to this rule. The face, from the
highest part of the forehead where
the hair begins, to the chin, is one
tenth of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the end of the
middle finger is the same. From the
top of the chest to the highest point
in the forehead is a seventh. If the
length of the face, from the roots of
the hair to the chin, be divided into
three equal parts, the first division
determines where the eyebrows meet
and the second the place of the nos
trils. The height from the feet to the
top of the head is the same as the
distance from the extremity of the
fingers when the arms are extended.

From the New York Post. J
Hebrew Philanthropy.

The. Hebrews have always been re-
markable for their excellent system of
charitable relief, in which but one
other religious body, the Quakers, can
rival them. No one ever saw a He
brew beggar or a destitute Quaker,
and this is not owing to the absence
of want among them, but to their pc
euliar and thorough arrangements for
taking care of their poor. Each syna-
gogue has committee composed of
the most respectable members, whose
business it is to inquire into the con-
ditiOn of every Hebrew in their dis
triet, and to afford assistance to such
as require it. They act on the simple
principle of putting the needy in a
situation to supply their own wants,
and not encourage pauperism. Work
is furnished to such as can not get
employment, and many of the ped
dlers and GLACIERS in our city have
been set up by them. The aged are
pensiOned, and the disabled placed in
q hospital, or furnished with regular
relief. The Mount Sinai Hospitals one
of the best in the city; it has been or
ganiZed seventy years, and is remarka-
BILE for being open to all persons,
without regard to color, sex or creed
Hebrews, Christian, blacks andwhites
being found among the PATIENTS
During the year 1868 there were 671
indoor and 74S outdoor patients treat
ed, at a total outlay of SIS, $50, ofwhieh
only SS,707 was for salaries. There is
a Hebrew orphan asylum, and they
have also 4 number of benevolent and
mutual benefit societies in the city,
The great efficiency of these is due to
their being superintended by the most
energetic and Influential members Of
the denomination, who takea person.
al interest in their management. A
grant has lately been received from
the city of twelve lots of land on Lex
ingtOn avenue, between Sixty-sixth
and Sixty-seventh streets, for a new
hospital; and arrangements are max
ing to raise money for the erection Of
q suitable building.

SIesnIug Habits.


To be able to lie down at night and
fall asleep within ten minutes, and to
know no dreams or waking until the
morning comes, and then to bound
out of bed full of health, freshness and
good humOr, is blessing well worthy
Of the warmest outgushings Of q
thankful heart toward Him who Civ
eth us all things richly to enjoy.
Some of the ways Of obtaining such
a priceless boon, we here name:
Take dinner at the good Old-fash-
ioned hour of midday; eat nothing
afterwards, except at supper, when q
piece of cold bread and butter with q
single cup of weak tea and half glass
of pure water is enough for anybody
under ordinary circumstances. If
dinner is taken in the middle of the
afternoon, do not eat an atom Of any
thing until the next morning. AnOth-
er plan is to avoid sleeping in the day
time, and retire be5ituaily at aregu-
lar hour.
In order to make a desirable result
more certain, remember practically
the following facts:
We need, ordinarily, seven hours Of
sleep in summer and eight in winter.
We breathe in sleep about fifteen
times every minute.
Each inhalation of pure air is re-
turned loaded with poison; hundred
and fifty grains of it Is added to the
atmosphere of a bed room every hour,
or twelve hundred grains during 3
night.
Unless the pOisOn-laden atmosphere
Is diluted or removed by constant
current of fresh air passing through
the room, the blood soon becomes i'm
pure, then circulates sluggishly, aeeu-
mulating and pressing on the brain,
giving rise to frightful dreams. If
the room is small and tight, the spec
trail nightmare, the fearful groan, the
terrible shrek, are the result, and in
aggravated cases, with the addition Of
hearty late meal, there is not strength
to give the moan, to raise the shrek,
and arouse the system; there is no
power to move, the man feels crush
ing danger coming upon him, he can't
get out of the way Of.-Hdlps Journal

Some few days ago we learned that
a Protestant Congress was to be held
at Worms. By later cable dispatch
we are informed that the Congress is
to meet on the 31st of May and that
the object of the Congress is to take
into consideration the recent invita-
ton of the Pope to Protestant Church
es t o send representatives to the Ecu
menical Council and to frame a reply
TO the same. Worms has historic
connection with the great religious
revolution of the sixteenth century.
1t was here that on the 18th and 18th
of April, 1521, Luther confronted the
combined forces Of the Church and
the World.

The Coming Of the May.
BY MRS. KATE NJ. SHERWOOD.

BY MRS. KATE NJ. SHERWOOD.
With the early dawn Tn waking,
And joy is in the air,
The song of birds is breaking.
The silence everywhere;
And my heart is full of longing,
cannot all allay,
In the dear, old haunts to welcome,
The coming of the May.
In those rare enchanted orchards,
Where peach and apple bloom,
Is filling all the long, bright hours,
With delicate perfumes;
Or within the grand, old forests,
Where sun and shadow play,
'Twere very sweet to greet again,
The coming of the May.
o, there are such countless treasures
In forests far away
The starry eyed anemones,
And lady slippers gay;
And 1 could tell the very spot,
Where orchids hide away,
Their pretty, precious faces, till
The coming Of the May.
know just where the violets,
Bloom in the meadow hedge,
And where the pink arbutus tr2ils,
Adown the river ledge;
Where trilliums and blue bells, low
Are bowing all the day,
To welcome with their pretty ways,
The coming of the May.
And, the slopes upon the hilltops
Where grows the mountain tea,
Where sasSafras and birch abound,
Are known so well to me;
And the bends of brook and river
Where trout and turtle stay,
And muscle shells CLEAN Whitley. in
The coming of the May.
Where the lark is gaily singing,
'Twere joy again to CO.
I've heard, sometimes, a music in
The cawing of the crow,-
Where the bObolink is trilling,
His merry roundelRy,
For all glad things are gladder, in
The coming of the May.
And, yet I, my feet returning,
To chiidhOod's haunts again,
Might find them very barren,
And strangely rife with pain;
For the forms that wandered with me,
Would be shadows in the way,
And my heart might cen be heavy, in
The coming of the May.
Yet, with earnest, eager longing,
I cannot well define,
I'm turning TO the meadows,
70 The woods of birch and pine.
All! memory be kind TO me!
Let all else fade away,
But spare my heart its rapture, in
The coming of the May.
