Tho mood of tho lake is ever

is ever varying. At enc monet it is

Piles, and laughs i'll the sun" Half
nn hour later, beneath stormy sky,
it's waters may be broken and lashed
into an angry and dangerous sea,
like the short, choppy waves which
rise in storms on Lake Eric and
Lake Michigan. Where we first saw
it, it hal IL glittorinS beach of gray
and rock-crystal sand, but as we con-
tinucd around it, we found rocky
and muddy shores, gravel beaches
ON which several varieties OF chalce-
dony were profusely scattcrcd-and
hot springs i'll abundance. Near the
southeast end of tho lake is the high
eat peak in the vicinity. 1t is steep
and barren, and from the lake shore
appears to taper to a point. On the
south sido is II prcciplce nearly lOOO
feet high. Two Of the party ascend
od it. 1t took them all of one day
to make the trip and return. About
two thirds of tho way up they were
Obliged to leave their horses and
continue the ascent on foot. The
altitude of the mountain, ds obtained
by observations with the barometer
and thermometer, was ii l63 feet.
Much snow was found before reaching
the summit. A fine view of the sur
rounding country, and good idea
of tho shape of the lake obtain 'd.
Immense steam jets were seen to the
south; but rs our time was becom-
ing somewhat limited, we did not
remain to visit them. Several ba-
romotrical calculations were made,
and we determined the height OF the
lake to bo $500 feet, - -Ocerio"d

promulga'o their principles through
quarterly and monthly journals.
There are six Homeopathic Medical
societies for scientific discussion

Plain Talk to the Girls.

II il q fact which should be con-
tinually brought before the eyes of
every girl in the land, that the FASH
ionable method of committing sui
eide by wearing corsets should be
frowned down. Say anything to
one about wearing these ribs OF
whalcbones aud steel, and they will
say they improve the form. The
idea Don't you suppose, you little
fool, that your Maker knew what
He was about when He fashioned
you with his own hands? Or do you
think He made woman first, and af-
terward made French m0diste, to
get her into decent shape? Perhaps
that was how it happened that wo-
men are left as nature made them,
and fools are shaped by the dress
makers. But it would be only JUS
tice to allow the girls to grow up to
womanhood before they decide
whether they would be women or
fools, instead of putting them into
corsets when they are tonder chill
dren.
1t is absolute cruelty to put cor
sets on little child. No child can
wear them moro than two or three
hours Mt time at first. but they are
made to wear them rs long as they
can endure the tortures, and then
take them off and rest awhile, and
80 on until they become hardened to
the torture, and can delight the
dressmaker with II slim waist to suit
hor eye.
But the next question that arises
is, whether anything has been taken
from the body during the process of
slimming the patient? Certainly
the waist was smooth and n little
tapering before tho corscts wcro
applied, now, it is longer, and not
more than half the size ut the bot
tom. If nothing has been taken
from tho waist what have the cor
sets done with tho organs that filled
that portion Of tho body before the
corset strings were drawn? They
have been squeezed either above or
below the waist, and, M those places
wore already occupied with organs
Of their own, those squeezed from
the waist must have been forced in
to the space allowed for something
else to grow in. SO the logical con
clusion is, the organs that nature
placed within the waist have been
forced to vacate tho premises, aud
crowd themselves within the space
allotted to other mud equally impor-
tant organs. No wonder the girls
lose their rosy cheeks, when the cor
sot strings are drawn so tightly TINT
tho blood cannot circulate freely
enough to run in the checks. No
wonder that the lungs refuse to do
their work when they haven't huff
room to work III. And no wonder
tho organs refuse to perform thor
Office, and girls grow old before their
timo, suffering from female com
plants brought on by wearing cor.
sets and dispLacinS the organs OF the
body.
We lament the fact that American
women have so few children, yot the
mothers continue TO prevent children
from growing ny competent to rear
children, by tho abominablo use OF
corsets. And fathers look on and
say nothing. Talk about the fool
ishnoss Of Chinese women cramping
their feet. What are the feet III
