Nearly thirty years ago Napoleon Ill
published a comparison, in which he
said: "France, with all her military
expenditure, would not be able to bring
D0, 900 men into line upon the frontier,
while upon the line of the Rhine alone
10000 men could be collected against
her i'm less than a fortnight" This
proved to be very nearly the case in the
present war. In a fortnight's time the
Germans had about 500, ,OOo men on the
Rhine, and to these France opposed
about 10000.

The Health Of our Girls.

How many perfectly healthy women
of thirty-five, or even twenty five, do
any of us know? Could they not all
be told on our fingers? ? And oh, what
I a weariness is life to a broken down
mother, with the wants and cares of
life clustering thick about her, while
she has no strength to meet .thema
The cause and fault lie largely with
mothers. They are chiefly responsible
for this sad condition of our American
women. The remedy must be in pay
ing more attention to the health Of our
little girls. That should be the great
consideration next to our moral train
ing. The intellectual culture must
give place to this most important mat-
matter, or the saddest results will sure
ly follow. fthe cultivation ofa sound,
vigorous constitution is made the main
object for the first fifteen or sixteen
years, there will be vast food of suf-
fering swept away from our land in the
next generation. The present school
system for young ladies is a terrible
drain ON the life force, and q thorough
change should be demanded by moth
ers before entrusting their girls to its
tender mercies. The overfiOwing spir-
its of our boys drive them to vigorous
outdoor sports, which largely counter
act the influences of the poisoned, heat
ed air i'm ill-ventilated school rooms,
and the over-taxingz of brain by the
multiplicity of lessons. But d girls
habits, and the general sentiment of
good society,n tend in her, case en-
tirely to the other way. Hearty plays
are unlady-like,n and what we'll bred
girl will risk acquiring such . repIts-
ton? This sentiment works its deadly
mischief, but 1t may in ameasure be
counteracted by giving our girls do
mestic employment. This may be
varied, and is very heaIthful, because
of the multitude of muscles brought
into action. Besides, 1t is a lesson
which will be of life-loilg service to
them. Early instill into their minds
the principle that work is noble and
hOnOfable-that to he q useless droue
i'm the worlds hive q is despicable.
Teach them to live for q purpose, and
to consider all right knowledge as so
much gained toward, the, great end.
No one can tel. where or when these
little lessons, learned so thoughtlessly
at the time, may come in use, nor how
great may be their value. 'oh +dfii9 "a

old lady rose and stood looking over
her spectacles, shading her eyes with
her hand. Without waiting for assis-

aud ran up the path to meet her. Mrs.
Dudley recognized her instantly, tall

Result of Analysis (qualatiye) of a sam
pie of Spring Water, provided by Messrs.
Oldham u Hunter. Knoxville, Tennessee.
The water, which is slightly acid to test
paper, owing to the presence of acid Sui
pilates, contains various salts III the pro-
portion of HIP grains to the gallon OF
water. The salts present are:
SulDhate of Iron. Chloride of Calcium.
SuIpfate of PotaSh.l Chloride of Sodium,
Sulph. of Alumian, Silicate of Soda,
Sulph. of Magnesia.l Organic Matter.
The water so constituted cannot fail to
prove a valuable and active remedy, and
could be safely recommended in various
forms of Dyspepsia. ofBowel Complaints,
of Diseases of the liver and of the Skin.
and in Glandular Diseases; i'm short, in all
cases where an Alum Water charged with

of the water would reveal other and still

tected in Il small quantity of water.
