Dress and Health.

The Journal Of Chemistry thus talks:
/" The tight waists, the low necks to
dresses, and the high-heeled shoes, are
most fragrant abuses, and ought not to be
longer tolerated. We shall not quarrel
with the little jaunty hats of the ladies,
for they are indeed pretty, and no harm
results from them, as of all parts of the
body the head needs the least clothing.
But, to pass to the other extremity, we
have to say that the detestable high heels
to boots and shoes, running as they do al
most to point, are spelling the gait and
running the ankle joints of children and
young misses. We are careful to order
our shoemakers to remove such heels from
shoes before permitting them to be
brought into our dwelling. Heels of mod
crate height and good breadth are of great
service in elevating the feet, SO as to avoid
direct contact with the moist earth, and
they also give support and add frmness to
the step. Why should Fashion push good
devices to absurd extremes? We must aid
in dethroning the tyrant when her DEGREES
lead to the physical or moral injury of the
race. The present fashion of leaving the
neck and the upper part of the chest bare
is fraught with evil consequences. 1t
would be less Objectionable in countries
uniformly warm but that our daughters,
here in this frigid and changeable climate
should constantly expose to the chilling
winds vital part of the body, is one OF
the evils of fashions which should be dis
countenanced by every mother, and father
and BROTHER

Damp Buildings.

The following is from the Scientific MIS-
cellany: Damp, when it enters house,
says DR.. F. r. Smith, comes in at the
roof, at the doors and windows, through
the walls, from the ground, or through
leaking of pipes. The enterance of damp
through the roof itself is fortunately so
unpleasantly conspicuous, owing to its
staining the ceiling, that it is not long in
being found out, and before repairs more
or less complete are made But for this,
roofs would be more commonly untrust-
worthy than they are, and injury to health
and life would oftener occur through their
failure. Many roofs are, however, SO con-
structed that in times of great rain and
snow an inudation is inevitable; and the
situation of such houses as are near trees
exposes them every autumn to the danger
OF overfiows from cutters stopped up with
dead leaves. Roofs, to remain dry, should
be of sufficiently steep pitch for the
nature of their covering; flat tiles re-
quiring a sleeper roof than "pan tills,'
and these latter a sleeper roof than states.
Whatever the covering, the material should
be good and well secured. Roofs should
be SO arranged as to dispense, as far as
possible, with cutters and flats occurring
in the middle of the builing, but should,
if practicable, throw off the whole of the
water to the sides. The point where they
join should be especially vulnerable, and
should be especially protected, either by a
lead flashing" or by cement fillet, with
small projection formed to overhang it
in the brickWork. 1t is essential that tiles
or states should overlap one another suffi-
ciently, and that if the covering be OF
metal (as lead, zinc or copper it should
be so laid as to be free to expand or con-
tract with change of temperature; and in
exposed situations it is essential for tiles
and desirable for states, to be bedded in
mortar. This, however, must be so done
as not to prevent their being free drip
from one tile or slate on to another; other
wise the mortar will become saturated
| and will conduct the water to the inside
of the roof

sition press IL is true that the defense Is
rather more languid than the astsok-a phe-
nomenon often seen In free countries-but
the apprehensions of the opposition that
their assaults will be unavailing are clearly
betrayed by the confession of the Quebec
Gazette, ''that the Canadian Parliament wih
fully ratify this treaty, unfsvorable and bur-
densome as it may be to us. So long as Sir
George Cartier is Minister he will always
have under his hand flock of Conservative

WHY IMMIGRATION HALTS.
From Every Saturday.

FFVFN HUtFy SdttTddy.
Georgia have lately issued an address, invit-
ing immigrants to settle in that State. Some
weeks ago a number of Southern railroad
gentlemen gathered in Philadelphia, and
while there took pains to urge that an abun-
dance OF land In their section was waiting
settlement. We occasionally see in some of
the New York city papers the long circular of
a great transportation company, setting forth
the manifold advantages of soil and climate
and the splendid opportunities for invest
ment IN the South. These letters and circu-
lars and addresses are hopeful signs of a
coming day, and TO certain extent are indi-
cations that the South begins 10 understand
its needs and the ends to which it should
labor. But against all this, wherein there is
promise, must be set a thousand facts show.
