Hen HEELs.-The Scientific Amer-
icaR tells its readers, what every phys
stefan and student of physiology knows,
about the Stiffness and harmtulness of
wearing higb,,heeled shoes. When the
heel is raised, as is the prevalent custom,
the bones Of the thigh, pelvis and leg, as
well as the foot, are thrown into an alb
normal position; and while the bones
maintain their Elasticity, the effect of
such unnatural tension is sure to be per-
petuated in the shape Of crooked shins,

RAvAGEs or THE DIPTHERIA INA FAM
MY.-A week ago last Sunday Mr.. Fer
dinand Zoehler, residing at No. 10 Senecc
street, q well-known musician, and g
member of Gilmore's Band, lost child
Henry F., seven weeks old, by diptheria
and ere another Sunday had passed the
insidious disease had attacked two Other
children, Ferdinand, promising boy,
aged seven years, and bright little girl,
Henrietta, about five years old. Both
these children died on Sunday last, and
while the three lay dead, side by side, a
fourth child, boy, lay sick in bed with
the same disease, and at one time he was
considered to be in critical condition.
The funeral Of the children took place
yesterday, and they were buried in a
single coffin. The grief-stricken mother
herself during this mournful season, was
hardly able to attend to the wants of her
sick children, and the father, broken
down under the terrible affliction, was
also unnerved.-BOstOn Irdr., Jan 20.

Effect of Railroads on the Weather.

The opinion seems to be gaining
strength that the Pacific Railroad is
working a great change in the climate
Of the plains. Instead Of continuous
d~rOughts, all along the railroad rain
now falls in refreshing abundance.
This result has been remarked upon
in other sections of the West. In
central Ohio, for example, it is said
the climate has been completely revO-
lutiOniZed since iron rails have formed
a network all over that region. In
stead Of the destructive drOughts for
merly suffered there, for some four or
five years there has been rain in album
Cance-even more than enough TO
satisfy all the wants of farmers. This
change is thought to be the result of
an equilibrium produced in the elec-
trIcdl currents, which has brought
about a more uniform dispensatiOn Of
the rain. 1t Is "a fact within the OBJ
serVation Of ali who remember ante
railroad times that we have now few
or no such thUnder-stOrms as we for
merry had in New England. The
ron rails which touch and cross each
other IN every direction serve As con-
ducJOrs ana ~equalizers of the electric
currents, and SO prevent the terrible
explosions which used to terrify Us in
former years. The Geographic wires
which accompany the iron rails every
where also act an important part in
difiusing electricity equally through
the atmosphere, thus preventing The
occurrence OF severe thunderstorm

before the late war. Twenty thousand
men are amply sufficient for ali the
wants Of the Government at this
time. And with a reduction Of the
force, twenty millions would be am
ply sufficient expenditure. But
soldier statesmen, GRANT and SHER-
MAN, always looking with a military

an increase instead Of any diminu-
