DIR. LEwIs.-Dr Dio Lewis held a familiar
talk with hundred people at Reception Hall
last night upon sanitary matters. 1t was a
very interesting chat, marked by wisdom, in
terspersed with wit. Walking was his first
theme. He said few American women are good
walkers. The single act of walking well does
more to introduce one to favorable notice-to
say nothing of its effect upon health-than all
the accomplishments of the schools. The rule
he prescribes for the remedy of this national
defect is, ''chn close to the neck" He also re-
commended to girls the practice of balancing
a weight upon their heads half an hour morn
ing and evening while engaged in their domes-
tic occupations. Six months Of this practice
will give one correct and queenly carriage
While he admitted that the American male at
tire was almost faultless except the close and
unventilated hat, he regarded the female attire
all wrong They swathe the chest and body in
numerous wrappings, and leave the limbs al
most unprotected; and the consequence is a
suffuson of blood in the chest and head, while
the extremeties are deprived of their share of
warmth. Corsets are another abomination in
the Doctors eyes. The dress-makers practical
way, but He has no taste. 1t takes them thirty
years to squeeze them into shape. Women
can give the vital parts full liberty and keep
the limbs and ,extremities warm without vio-
lating any of fashions laws. He also con-
demned high heels, and said the amount of fe-
male weaknesses and displacements that they
produce is appalling. Work-household work
manual labor, instead of fashionable idleness
is another remedy for debility, loss of appetite
and other evils which our girls suffer FROM
There is nothing worth living for but work;
and when one has secured shelter, food and
clothing, he has got all; and the noblest and
most satisfying object of life then is to help
others. The Doctor described the Turkish
baths which he has recently established In Bos-
ton, and stated that the principle object of his
visit to Portland was to induce the people here
to institute them as one of the greatest santa
