Temperance in Eating.

Less food means temperance
Precisely this; nothing more or less.
1t doesn't mean temperance reform.
1t means simply the avoidance of
excess. 1t is the excess, or little
too much that hurts. 1t is the feather
that breaks tie camel's back. And
is it then so hard that this little can't
be avoided Yes, that is it we must
have little more; there is little
more room in an overcrowded stom-
ach. And what is the consequence ?
Simply q little uneasy feeling p
Sometimes this is all; but not al
ways. Its, however, always a hurt.
that will be felt by and by, and more
and more as the Individual persists.
But even for the present, with many
men, it is bad thing. A person
will feel stupid he win have the
blues, because the stomach, through
the nervous influence, affects the
whole system, making the body
dumpish and the mind dull, and the
individual anything but agreeable.-
Now this is a common fact; we see
1T everywhere every day, every
meal people "hog j" that is the
word. Why not just cut off the lit
tie excuses, and thus be cheerful, be
healthy? Some men do this. Read
or, try it, and you will thank u.s.
Remember, it is not hard, the habit
is soon formed and then you will
be in q new atmosphere; you will
live new life. Think not you are
not one aimed at, we are all more or
less at fault here. Much, much more
happy as race should we be if we
paid more attention to diet.

The Greeks and the Greciaa Bsnd.


The Greeks never chan ged their
style OF dress. The plain robe and
tune OF Phldias resembled the robe
ana tunlc OF Demosthenes the pep
lum OF Helen hung in similar folds to
that OF tho peplum of Aspasia. The
creeks never grow tired of the sim
pie folds and statuesque curves Of tho
simple dress their first sculptor had
immortalized. What would they have
said of the "Grecian bend" that last
distortion Of folly and affectation P
The purest idea of the way woman
should walk is the manner in which
milk-girl carries her pail-erect,
buoyant, elastic, the bosom thrown
forward, the head up. Put such
child of nature, Irish or Welsh, be-
side young lady walking in the alb
surd way now fashionable. 1t mat
tiers little whether the modern belle
tries to walk so, or whether high
heeled shoes produce in her that
Chinese helplessness. One would
think she was trying to play a sort
OF female pantheon, as she minces
forward with pretty helplessness,
some form of spinal disease being in
duced by every step. Farewell to
what French cyuics call "the grena-
der strides" of English woman
Women totter forward now, they do
not walk. The French shuttle and
the Spanish glide are divine compar-
ed with such a style of walking as
the Grecian bend produces. The
"bend" is ungraceful, unnatural, and
unhealthy. But it is useless to re-
monstrate or revile. What did Punch
do against crinolines? No folly in
dress was over laughed down. What
did Hogarth do against the absurdi-
ties Of his day? Nothing. 1t is sup
posed that women's fickleness in
dress arises from q desire to please
man. fit does, how is it that fol-
ly in dress never alters one hour the
sooner for all mans ridicule or dis
like

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

A memoir recently published ppon
tho TRANSMISSION of blood from one
living subject to another, mentions,
as the principal points reached in the
Investigations, of the author, first,
that blood collected and kept in con-
tact with the air at medium tenn
perature remains unchanged in it's
constituent astrological condition,
and preserves its chemical peculiari-
ties for two or three hours second,
that the red globCles, saturated with
oxygen, arc the actual revivifying
principle, the fbrin not being an es-
sential part. On this account, to in
sure safety, and to prevent the intro
duction Of ciots into the circulation,
blood deprived Of its fibrin lie to be
preferred to that in it's normal condi-
ton. Third, the defbrinated blood
OF any species, transfused into IN
individual of the same species, can
revivify that individual, compensat-
ing for loss Of blood, fulfilling all the
functions Of the normal and primitive
blood, and being subject to all its
physiological laws. In the same
way we can combat an alteration of
the blood, by exchanging it for that
which is healthy. Fourth, the blood
of animals of one species can revivify,
if even in transitory man ner, ami
mails Of another species. Such blood
is readily decomposed, and if it has
been injected in small quantities it
may produce death. Fifth, transfus-
ion well executed is not dangerous
operation. The practical dangers
signalized by the author lie in the in
PRODUCTION Of foreign bodies with the
blood, the formation of clots even in
injecting the defibrinated blood, the
introduction Of air into the circula-
ton, and the preoipi tation of the in
lection, and finally, phlebitis, or in
Illumination of the inner membrane of
punctured vein.-EDIroR' S SCIENTIFIC

UNINPLAMABLE Dresses 1t is
much to be regretted that the pro-
cess of rendering the material of
ladies' muslin dresses uninflamable
is not more generally understood and
used. Either of three substances

soda, and sulphate of smmonia-can
be mixed in the starch and at the
cost of two cents q dress, deaths
from burned garments can be rem
dored impossible. Articles of APP
parel subjected to those agents can,
if they burn at all, only shoulder I;

the sudden and terrible manner in
which so many fatal accidents have
occurred to the fair wearers of GRIN

AN IRIsHMAN's ANswER.-A law
yer built him an office in the form of
q hexagon, or six square. The nov
city of the structure attracted the
attention of some Irishmen who were
passing by. They made full stop,
and viewed the building very criti-
cally. The lawyer somewhat DISCUS

The NosE.-The nose acts like q
custom house officer to the system.
1t is highly sensitive to the odor Of
the most poisonous substances. 1t
readily detects hemlock, henbane,
monks hood, and the plants con-
tanning prussic acid it recognizes
the fetid smell of drains, and warns
us not to smell the polluted air.
The nose is so sensitive that the air
containing the 2OO,OOOth part of a
grain Of the otto of rose, or the
$4,000 OOth part of a grain of musk,
is detected by it 1t tells US in the
morning that our bedrooms are i'm
pure and catches the first fragrance
of the morning air, and conveys to
us the invitation of the flowers to
90 forth into the fields and inhale
their sweet breath. To be led by
the nose has hitherto been used as
phrase Of reproach but to have a
good nose, and to follow its guidance
is one Of the safest and shortest
ways to the enjoyment of health.

"SHE WORKS FOR A LIVING
Commend us to tho girl of whom it
is sneeringly said, "she works for a
living" In her we arc always sure
Of q true woman--a real lady. True,
we arc not prepared to see a min
cling step, naughty lip, fashionable
dress, or q splendid string of nonsense
about balls and young men, or the
new next party-no, no but we are
prepared to hear the sound words Of
good sense, language becoming q
woman neat dress, a mild brow,
aud TO witness movements that would
not disgrace an angel.
You who are looking for wives and
companions, turn from the fashion
able, naughty girls, and select one Of
thoe who work for living, and new
er--our word for twill you repent
your choice. You want q substantial
friend, and not u help EAT--a coun-
sellor, and not a simpleton. You
may not be able to carry piano in
TO your house, but you can buy a
sowing machine or set of a knitting
needles, If you cannot buy tick
OF for the ball, you can visit some az
ilicted neighbor.
Be careful, then, when you look
Tor companions and when you choose.
We know many a foolish man who
instead of selecting nindustriou and
prudent woman for wife, took one
from a fashionable stock, and is now
lamenting hisl folly in dust and ashes.
He ran into the fire with his eyes
wide open, and who but himself is to
blame for it.
The time was when ladies visited
and took work with them. This is
the reason why we had such excellent
mothers. How singular would gay
woman look in a fashionable circle
daraing her fathers stocking p
Would not her companions laugh at
her2 And yet such woman would
be prize TO somebody. Blessed is
the man who chooses for his wife one
from the despised girls "who work
for living"

CoRNs.-Hard corns are caused by
too much pressure of the shoe or
its being so loose as to slide back and
forth on the spot where the corn az
forwards shows itself. Medical books
record several cases where pairing q
hard corn has caused bleeding,
which no known means could arrest,
and death ensued. Nothing harder
than the finger nail ought never to
be allowed to touch a corn, which
can be always cured, or kept from
causing inconvenience by simply
bathing the part in warm water for
half an hour in succession often
single bathing will accomplish the
object of so softoLing their parts adj
jacent to the actual-corn that it can
be picked out with the finger nail,
and the shoe can be instantly worn
without discomfort, which an hour
before gave great pain it may re-
turn in week, or month, or d
year, but the same treatment will
always avail. PAIRING them to spread
and to take deeper root.
Another plan is to take two or
three thickncsses of buckskin, cut a
hole in the center, and bind it on the
toe in such way as to make the
corn fill up the hole, this relieves the
corn from pressure, and in a few
days, especially in warm weather,
the kernal will almost drop out of
itself.
Soft corns are very troublesome,
but are sometimes removed by pa
tiently bathing them in strong alum
water night and morning.
1t is so much better to know a safe
and inexpensive way of doing things,
that it is really worth while to teach
these methods 10 every child in the
household.

Christianity was the first system
that took notice of women. That
incompatible character drawn
by the divine pencil, rested his phi
losophy on Love, and found it's
promptest echo in woman's heart
Here for tho first time in the history
Of the world do we find a great
Teacher gathering around himia band
Of women, associated with Him by
the most delicate and tender rela-
tions, so far as we know with no pre-
tensions to intellect, but bound to
Him by love which followed Him
TO the Cross, and found them hover
ing about the Tomb.
And it is upon women, we say it
with reverence, that the Christian
Church rests now. They are the
life Of every living congregation.
From them goes forth the spirit of
love and conservation, which vital
ICES the struggling principle of
Christianity. 1t is by them chiefly
that is illustrated all that is true, all
that is pure, all that is lovely, all
that is Of good report, every virtue,
and every praise that makes human
lif 0 endurable. And all this comes
from the simple circumstance that
women are more tractable than men.
Men strive to the last women soon
bend before the stern discipline of
life, and open their hearts to the les
sons Of wisdom-and once initiated
into the philosophy of self-renuncia-
ton, the unfathomed depths of
Woman's Love never. cease to flow
until the springs are sealed by the

THE HERALD.
Womanla InfIuence in Society.

We take the following extract
from a very excellent article in the
Daily Dubuque Times
"Before marriage women are more
ambitious than men. Men marry for
beauty; women for strength, either
the physical proves and strength of
the soldier, or the mental strength Of
the man Of talent, or the power
which wealth gives. But with men
ambition rarely utterly expires to
the last they pursue power in one
form or another. Selfaggrandize-
ment is their inextinguishable pas
sion. But woman is soon chastened,
and her life is consecrated to others
and herein lies the argument for the
superiority of the female sex. Wo-
men often claim for their sex what
does not belong to them. They
claim to have as much sense as men
but this is not true. They claim to
have as much integrity of character,
but this is not so. Women have far
less principle than men. They are
much less reliable. Their moral ma
turO is less solid. It is indeed very
delicate organism, and will not boar
rude handling.
But the strength Of woman lies in
her practice Of that highest OF all
moral achievements-thst one TO
which men rarely ever attain-in
self-renunciation. AS wife or mother,
as sister, as o nero member Of socie-
", the christian woman lives for the
benefit Of others and has ceased to
have selfish aims of her own. And
this it is that gives her power in So
ciety--this it is which lays upon the
rudest man tho spell which conse-
crates in his heart the name Of wo-
man. 1t Is this which saves human
society from disintegration, for the
selfshness Of en.would lead them,
Il unrestrained, to mutual destrnc-
ton
Walter Scott has written the truest
aud finest uninspired thing that was
ever said about woman, in the well
known lines:
