WOlnan'S Dress.

Miss +. Stuart Phelps thinks reason
for the mental inferiority of woman is
to be found in the amount of intellect
that is wasted upon the preparation and
preservation Of their dress. Taking this
for her text, she goes on in the follow
ing style:
l once saw a young woman ride the
whole way from Portland to Boston in
the cars without once leaning back
against the cushioned seat. SO that she
should not tumble her black silk sash.
A barber told me that he "curled
young lady" once for ball, and she had
two hundred and forty-seven curls when
o'clock in the morning and never got
through until nine o'clock at night -
DR.. bio Lewis tells of woman who put
four hundred and twenty-five yards Of
trimming upon one single dress. Four
hundred and twenty-five yards Con-
ceive Of the Hon. Charles Sumner, or
Professor Longfellow in four and TWEEN.
ty-five yards of trimming Imagine the
speech on San Domingo or the Psalm Of
Life written in black silk sash tied in
snarl to the authors coat tails, he
pausing at every classic metaphor, or at
the close of each moral stanza, to see if
he has tumbled himself behind Fancy
Brown-Sequard at consultation of two
hundred and forty-seven curls. Picture
him timing the pulse of a dying man
with one hand and tightening his hair
pins with the other. After contrasting
very racily the apparel Of woman with
that of man, she concludes by saying
that the "use" of dress is his, the "fuss"
is hers. And even about the beauty
she hesitates, for though man is not
graceful being, yet in this cultivated
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-one, his very
stove.pipe hat and sack coat yield the
field to the unparalleled and unap-
preached and unapproachable deformi-
ty Of woman's attire.

How He Lost His Brains.

In conversation on the late steamer
accident in New York, yesterday, an
old Peorian told us a story of steam
boat "bust up" on the Illinois river,
which we think will bear repeating.
The tale runs that there were two
brothers engaged on an Illinois river
packet, the elder as Captain and the
younger as first clerk. They had sailed
the river for many years, and considered
themselves az .fam in all matters of
navigation. Coming up one bright
summers day, their boat got aground
in the mud opposite Frederick. To get
their craft off they got up tremend-
Gus head of steam, and attempted to
pull through, but without success. Sud-
denly in the midst of the work, dull
rushing sound was heard, and all on
board, including the Captain and the
clerk, found themselves going see-saw,
first up, then down. When the Captain
descended, he fortunately came down
into the water and after discovering
that no bones were broken, he propel-
led himself ashore. In the meantime
the clerk, who also took an involuntary
upward and downward journey, de-
scended on his head in bank of soft
blue clay. Turning himself over and
putting up his hand he found on his
head something soft, which he hastily
determined we've his brains, which had
been knocked out by the conclusion.
Gathering himself up, he started for
the nearest house, which was about a
half mile, holding on to his caput and
declaring to himself at every step that
he had lost his brains. He was shortly
overtaken by his brother, who inquired
if he was injured. ooh, I've lost my
brains," was the reply. Put down
your hand" said the Captain, and as the
clerk did so, mass of blue clay fell to
the ground. There" said the Captain,
- always knew you was a fool. You
don't even know the difference between
brains and mud Since that time the
elder brother has passed away from
EARTH and the younger has filled many
positions of honor and profit, but to
this day he remembers the time he
went up in an explosion, and an in
quirer who has a desire 20 be we'll
Belted, has only to ask him how he lost
his brains.-Peoria Transcript.

Just How a Mosquito Bites.

The delicate and delicious process of
being bled by mosquito has been thus
described by some one who had the
time and patience to observe particu-
lars; He has a proboscis like an ele-
plant, only not so large. 1t will, how
ever, look nearly as large under good
microscope. He cannot do as many
handy things with it as the elephant
can with his, but he can cause good
deal of annoyance, in a small way, with
it. 1t is hardly the thing to say that
the mosquito bites us, for it has no
teeth. The microscope reveals the fact
that he carries pair of scissors inside
his proboscis; the sharpest and neatest
little cutting tools you ever saw. He
gets his living by these. They are two
delicate little blades, and are placed
alongside of each other. When he is
ready to make meal of us he first buzz
yes around with those beautiful wings,
and sings pleasant little song. If we
quietly let him settle down, he picks out
place on our skin which is just to his
liking. He is very delicate about it.
When he gets ready he puts his pro-
boscis down, and pushes the little scis-
sors out, and makes neat cut, so that
he can suck the blood out. Then he
drinks as much blood as he wants, and
is done his dinner. But he does not
leave yet. He is going to pay his bill
he has taken our blood and he will leave
as something in exchange for it. With
all his fanlts he is an honest little fel.
low-after his fashion. He has the pay
in his pocket, ready to squeeze out be
fore he goes. 1t is poison, but that
makes no difference to him. 1t is the
best he has to give. His poison pocket
is at the head of his proboscis, and al
the lower end of the proboscis he ha:
another little pocket, into which he
puts poison enough for one dose. This
poison is very powerful. a very little
of it makes the place where the musqui
to puts it very sore. After he ha
: sucked our blood he puts the drop o
poison into the place he took the blooC
from. 1t is not the "bite" or the GU
that the mesquite makes that hurts us
but the dropping of this powerful poi
son into our flesh. If this musquit
were large enough to give powerful
dose of this poison it would be bad TO
us. If he were as big as kitten, an
his poison as strong in proportion,
bite" from him would kill us.

A Brave Little Girl and Her Brave
ReScuer.

A few mornings since, "little Efie,''
bright-eyed, curly-haired, five-year-
old, belong ling to Mr.. and Mrs. Parrish,
living on Main street, just south of
Thomas d Parry's livery stable, took a
"plunge BATH" that came near result
ing fatally. There is deep well on the
place, holding some fourteen feet of
water. 1t has no curb, and water is
drawn by means of rope. Ellie had
been watching Mr.. Thomas drawing wa
ter from the we'll in bucket, which she
called "kettle." The rope broke and
the "kettle" went to the bottom. This
troubled the little one, and afterward.
in peering into the well, looking for the
"kettle," she lost her balance, and
plunged head first into the well. Her
mother heard her scream as she toppled
over, ran into the yard, and, happening
by the merest chance, to glance into
the we'll, saw Effie Us she came to the
surface the first time. Powerless her
self, she ran for the livery stable, shout
ing at every step, "Effie's in the well !!
Etiie's in the we'll y Mr.. Thomas was
at the we'll in no time, and, without a
moments thought as to how he was
ever going to get out, plunged in, brac-
ing himself as best he could against the
smooth walls as he went down, and
reached the water in time to meet Effie
" on the way up second time, and, OF
course, rescued her. AS soon as the
little one could get water enough out
and breath enough in to speak, she
said to Mr.. Thomas Jack, | have
found your kettle, it was clear down
to the bottom" and, sure enough, she
had the rope tightly clenched in her
little fingers. We hardly know which
most to admire, the bravery of the man
who risked his life to save that of the
little girl, or the GOODNESS of the child in
hunting up the "kettle" when fourteen
feet under water.-Camson No. o.

The Comfort Of Old Shoes.

Sufferers who moan over new shoes
will relish this pleasant bit from the
Christian Union:
Nothing seems to affect the vitality OF
the old shoe. Its characteristic age,
postulates at once freedom from the re-
straints and Affections of youth-that
is, newness. Hence its benignant look.
Hence its comforting appearance. Like
a weather-beaten frigate, it smiles upon
you from each yawning seam and worm
out button-hole. How easily does it fit,
and how snugly do you nestle within
il Water only makes it the softer,
and you are never anxious after its well
fare in mud. Even in a new shoe the
standard of beauty is at best capricious.
Now fashion DEGREES "square" toes, now
"round" toes, and now box" toes. To-
day, she mods graciously at shoes OF
kid; tomorrow, she defes shoes of
cloth. Buttons are first her detestation,
and then her admiration. Buckles she
loves. and soon buckles she hates. Now,
beauty you do not look for in an old
shoe, no more than you expect the pro-
portions of Venus de Medici in your
aged grandmother, or the brightness of
azure and crimson in the starry flag
when blackened with powder and rid
died with shot amid the thickening
smoke of the battle. 1t would embar.
rass you if you found it, and you would
be reluctant 10 outrage its graceful SYM
metry and luxuriousness of shape by
inserting therein your ungainly foot.
In shoe, beauty is but cloth or
leather deep, and were one to limit his
affection to the mere surface of the
shoe his love would be truly superficial.
Every scar, every cash, every disjointed
seam, every eruption on the side, or
abrasion on the sole, these only add to
your affection. Love soon changes into
reverence, as day after day the marks of
age rapidly increase. The shoe so often
worn is now treading the downward
path; and, at last, when relentless fash
ion condemns the shoe as "shabby,"
because, forsooth, the once radiant
leather is wreathed in rings Of snow,
the once gorgeous buttons have disap-
peared, and the formerly sedate button.
holes yawn beyond all decency, then
fttingly, though reluctantly, you part
with it. Its usefulness has now passed
to a higher stage; one might almost call
it translation. You place it on some
dingy shelf in dingier closet, along
with perhaps an old hat or coat, and
other materials of departed greatness,
there to muse sadly over the decay of
glory, and fckleness of fortune, as ex-
emDlitied even in shoe

Thirst Quenched without Drinking.

1t may not be generally known to our
readers that water, even salt water, i'm
blbed through the skin, appeases thirst
almost as well fresh water taken inward
ly. In illustration of this subject cor
respondent has sent us the following
abridged quotation from Narrative of
Captain Kennedys Dosing his Vessel,
and his Distresses Afterward," which
was noticed in D0dSleyS annual Register
for 1863: " cannot conclude without
making mention of the great advantage
| received from soaking my clothes
twice day in salt water and putting
them on without wringing. 1t was a
considerable time before / could make
the people comply with this measure,
although from seeing the good effect
produced they afterward practiced it
twice a day of their own accord To
this discovery | may with justice at
tribute the preservation of my own life
and six other persons, who must have
persisted if it had not been put in use.
"The hint was first communicated to
me from the perusal of a treatise writ
ten by DR.. Lind, the water absorbed
through the pores Of the skin produc-
ing in every respect the same effect as
would have resulted from the moderate
drinking of any liquid. The saline par
ticles, however, which remained in our
clothes, became incrusted with the heat
of the sun and that Of our bodies, lace
rating our skins and being otherwise in
convenient; but we found that by wash
ing out these particles. and frequently
wetting our clothes without wringing
twice in the course Of day, the skin
became well in short time. After
these operations we uniformly found
that the violent drouth went off, and
the parched feeling was cured in few
minutes after bathing and washing our
clothes, and at the same time we found
ourselves as much refreshed as if we
had received some actual nourishment.
Four persons in the boat who drank
salt water went delirious and died; but
those who avoided this and followed the
above practice experienced no such

Remarkable ELIMINATION.

The remains of the great Italian pat
riot, poet and scholar, Ugo Foscolo, says
the London Weekly Dispatch of the 18th
ult., were, on Wednesday, exhumed at
Chiswick churchyard. The Italian Min.
lister, the Commentators Cadorna, the
Commissioner Signor Bargoni, the at
taches to the Embassy, and all the most
distinguished Italians in London, to-
gether with many English gentlemen,
assembled round the grave. A canvas
screen encircled the company; two
flags, one the Italian and the other the
English Union Jack, hung overhead,
and small body of police kept the
crowd OF eager sightseers away from
those who had come for the purpose of
doing honor to the famous dead. After
the earth had been cleared away and
the coffin wholly uncovered, ropes were
placed beneath it, and thus, after IA
years OF interment, it was brought up
again. The screws being removed, the
lid was lifted, but those who expected
an immediate sight of the remains were
disappointed, for these were inclosed
by an inner shell. This was opened
and found to be filled up with sawdust,
which, having been brushed away, dis.
closed the body of Ugo Foscolo. The
form was intact and the features still
perfect. At the foot of the grave stood
the doctor who had attended the great
Italian in his last hours, and also the
hair dresser who used to shave him
and hardly had these seen the body
when the simultaneously exclaimed,

in his lifetime, were still there. His

California Orange Groves.

The cultivation Of oranges in Califor-
MIA, though comparatively a new branch
of agriculture, is rapidly assuming I'M
portant proportions. A German by the
name of WOlfskill, and a Tenneesean
named Wilson, both old settlers in Los
Angeles, We're the pioneers in this bust
ness, and the latter's orchard gave him
last year the comfortable sum Of $780,
600, while the entire expense for taking
care of the ground, pruning, ETC., did
not exceed 500. The mode of culture
is thus described
Before setting out the trees the land
should be deeply plowed and thorough.
ly pulverized, and frequent stirring of
the ground afterward, greatly increases
the size of the crop, for which reason
they should be trimmed high enough to
admit OF blowing near the body. Until
the trees are large enough to bear, corn,
potatoes, or other vegetables may be
grown between them without detrment,
but as soon as the trees begin to yield,
neither vegetable nor weed should be
allowed to show its head in the orchard.
The trees should be set in rows, twenty
four feet apart each way, which gives
seventy to the acre. Orange trees ordi-
narily begin to yield fruit in five years
after being set out at three years old,
thus making eight years from the seed
and they may be said to be in full bear
ing in two or three years thereafter, the
yield, Of course, increasing with age.
Mr.. Wilson has one orchard, thirteen
years from the seed, in which the aver
age yield last year was about S25 to the
tree, some running as high as $40 and
$50. Three and four year old trees are
the best for transplanting, as they en-.
dure injuries better than younger trees,
and are less affected by the shock of
transplanting than older ones. They
can he had at the nurseries for from $50
to $50 per hundred. The average yield
per tree may be set down as about
1900, although many of them produce
1900, while tree in the Mission Gar
den, near Los Angeles, nearly fifty years
old, produced 400 last year. Assum.
ing only 1000 oranges to the tree, and
70 trees to the acre, the product is
10000 oranges, which, at $40 per 1000,
amounts to $l,400 per acre, and
$4,000 in an orchard of ten acres,
which is about the amount Of
land that one can cultivate well
and do the necessary pruning. But cut
down the product one-half, which is
more than sufficient to place it beyond
any contingencies, and the ten acres
still give $1,000 year, making the or
chard very respectable fortune in it.
self. In point of fact, the price at
which oranges sell at Los Angeles, is
about double the price stated above,
bringing, as they do, thirty and forty
dollars a thousand in the orchard, and
the demand, even at that price, is so
great that the supply is usually ex.
hausted before the fruit has attained its
greatest perfection. They commence
picking in December, and before the
middle of April the trees are bare, al
though the oranges would continue to
improve in flavor if allowed to hang on
the trees until June or July.
