A Word TO WoMEN-The follow
ing is clipped from the Laws of Life
VERY few ladies know how to ap-
preciate an easy, healthful dress
They think their dresses are loose.
when man or boy pat into one as
tight would gasp for breath, and
feel incapable Of putting forth any
effort except to break the bands. -
Ladies are so accustomed to the
tight fits Of dressmakers, that they
tall all to pieces when relieved Of
them. They associate the loose dress
with the bed or lounge. TO be up,
they must be stayed up, and to re-
commend a comfortable dress to them
is not to meet a conscious want of
theirs. 1t is great pity none the
less. If they could once know what
a luxury it is to breathe deep and
full at each respiration, to feel the
refreshment which the system takes
on by having the blood enlivened
and sent bounding through the ar
terie~ and veins, to have the aids to
digestion which such process give, to
have their own strong elastic muscles
keep every organ in place and them
selves erect; if they could for q good
while know this blessed luxury, and
then to be sent back into the old
stiff, straight-iackets, they would
fume, and fret and rave in every des-
peration if they could not get rid of
them. AS it Is, they prefer 10 Ian
guish and die young, and leave all of
their friends, and their husbands and
their little children, aud [ do not see
any other way but to let them be
sick and die till they are satisfied
If only the sinner was the sufferer,
it would n0t be worth while TO make
a great ado about il, but Inc bligh.-

must follow renders the false habits

How to Carve.

Although it is daily duty for
many men and women to cut up
meat for family, there are multi
tudes who do it neither well nor
wisely. The following suggestions

In carving pig, it is customary

In carving venison, make deep

1t is found in practice as this table
shows, that twenty stones of pota-
toes, or three Of oil cake, will
nourish an animal as much as ten
stones of hay will, and five stones Of
oats az much as either. Something,
however, will depend upon the quail
ity If the sample of each kind of
food used-which we know varies
very much and with numerous cir
cumstances and something also
upon the age and constitution of the
animal, and upon the way and form
in which the food is administered
