WHY WOMEN ARE DELICATE.

Another reason of the delicacy of our
women is the far greater style affected
by all classes in dress, and the wearing
of corsets during early youth. Naturally,
if one has attained full and fine physi-
cal development, tight corsets, heavy
skirts, close-fitting boots and weighty
chignons cannot injure to the same e1-
tent as when these appliances of fash
ion are put upon the soft and yielding
muscles of young and growing girl.
The noble ladies of England exercise
many hours daily in the open air. They
do not disdain to don heavy calfskin
shoes and colored pctticoats, in which
to perform this duty. This, of course
would not alone make them as healthy
MS they are, were not their constitutions
strengthened by proper physical edu-
cation before they are eighteen years of
age, but it sufficcs to retain them in a
good degree If health. Our fair Ameri-
cans early in the day attire themselves
in charming morning costumes, with
white skirts and then they are averse
to soiling these by exercise, and the
least dampness deters them from a
promenade. American ladies think far
more of dress and fashion and spend
more money and time on their toilets
than any women in Europe, not even
excepting the French, from whom all
our fashions come.

READY MONEY.

Ready money is an excellent thing to
have on had. No matter if it is only a
little sum. If it is only sufficient for the
current expenses, it is great convent
ence, to say the least. Any one who has
tried and compared the credit with the
cash system, will readily admit the cor
rectness of the above remark. When
you buy for cash you generally get things
cheaper-get better weight and measure,
and all the favors the dealer can extend
to his patrons. On the chronic credit
system the matter is usually reserved.
If you try to avoid credit by borrowing,
you improve matters very little if any.
Hence we give this advice, "turn an
honest penny" whenever You can, and
always have sufficient money on hand to
meet your small engagements.
Farmers usually depend upon their one
crop for the means necessary to meet the
expenses of the whole year, and it is sim
gular that they should thus depend upon
the one single source, while the oppor-
tunities for profit are more varied on
the farm than in almost any other
branch of industry. Put yourselves to
thinking, and do not miss single oppor-
tunity for earning dollar, or dime
even. Persevering industry begets econ
omy, and both combined beget compe-
tency and fortune.

AN Old MANS WALK.

Contrary to my original intention to
make easy progress the first week or ten
days of my journey, I was constrained
to do otherwise, and my first day made
thirty-si1 miles in twelve hours second,
thirty-five in twelve hours F.; third, nine
teen in seven hours, delaying nearly half
the day to lecture in the evening at Cor
wallis; fourth day, forty-six miles in
sixteen hours. Fifty days remained
over for business at Eugene City, where
l was weighed, and found a loss of four
pounds, bringing the scales down at one
hundred and forty-nine and one-half
pounds only. At this point increased
my supply of food and changed my
mode of eating, which before had been
crackers of pure, unbolted wheat flour
and water only (Graham crackers) dry,
with some stewed fruit as 1 could get it,
to the crackers broken up and soaked
soft in boiling hot water, by which
means was enabled to eat more, while
the fluid supplied the waste by sweating,
which was copious. Thus, then, 1
maintained about the average point of
one hundred and fifty pounds, 1 pre-
sumo, as that was my weight on arriving
at Yreka, after walking between three
hundred and seventy and eighty miles.
Forty-eight hours after arriving at San
Francisco, in the same dress in which
was weighed in Portland thirty-six
hours before starting, 1 weighed one
hundred apd fifty-one pounds, differ
ence of only two and one-half pounds,
after " footing more than eight hum
dred miles.

A D1RHINIAN SUGGESTION.

Max Adeler, in the Boston Courier,
remarks we are engaged now in de-
veloping a scheme for growing kid
gloves upon the original animal. Our
old friend, Darwin, teaches us that You
can do almost anything with breeds by
judicious selection ; and we are con-
vinced that, with little care, it will be
possible to produce beast whose skin,
when stripped off, will make a seamless
kid glove. Our first experiments are
with lizards. A izared has four legs
and tail. Now, we believe that event
ually the off fore leg can be developed
into thumb, while the other three legs
and the tail can be arranged as fingers.
We are crossing lizards with short tails
with those of long legs and we are now
looking around for a variety of lizard
with button or two on his neck, for the
purpose of breeding it in with the others,
whose eyes will answer for button-holes.
The ultimate result promises to be
startling. It will break up the old glove
trade, and drive Jouvin to suicide. Thus
it is that human ingenuity advances hui
man civilization"

IT is expensive to trifle with life and
property on railroads in England. A
recent report made in the House of
Lords shows that from 1867 to 1871 over
IS, 900, 900 in gold was paid by railroad
companies for injuries inflicted on pas
sengers, and during the same period

HERBERT SPENCER considers the CO.
operation experiment, judged by its re-
suits, failure, though he is firm be-
lever in its ultimate snccess. He
thinks that the laboring class do not at

sense of justice which are its necessary
basis and that their treatment of their
own fellows in their labor organizations
shows clearly what very poor article
working-man morality" like all class
morality, really is.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCY.

WHAT III OO lN LMEhrENC1.
Here is Q useful hint on the best
method of action when the clothing Of
any friend is on fire-an accident which
all are liable to. Seize q shawl, or
blanket, or any woolen fabric, hold the
cornerf as far apart as You can, stretch
them ont higher than your head, and
running boldly to the person, make a
motion of clasping in the arms, mostly
about the shoulders. This instantly
smothers the fire and saves the face.
The next instant throw the person on
the floor. This is an additional safety
to the face and breath, and any remnant
of fame can be put out more leisurely.
The next instant immerse the burnt
part in cold water, and all pain will
cease with the rapidity of lightning.
Next get some common -four, remove
from the water, and cover the burnt
parts with an inch in thickness of flour /;
if possible, put the patient in bed, and
do all that is possible to ssothe until
the physician arrives. Let the flour re-
main until it falls off itself, when q
beautiful new skin can be found. Un-
less the burns are deep, no other appi-
cation is needed. The dry flour for
burns is the most admirable remedy
ever proposed, and the information
ought to be impaired to all. The prin-
ciple of this action is, that like the wa
ter, it causes instant and perfect relief
from pain by totally excluding all the
air from the injured parts.

IF reports are to be credited, the vi
emma Exhibition has not so far proved
successful. The Viennese were in too
much Of hurry to empty the pockets Of
stranges, and the report of their e1orbi-
tant charges spread far and wide. The
bills of fare at the hotels have been in
creasing from day to day, a dollar and q
half being the latest charge for toler-
able breakfast, and twenty cents for get
ting boots blacked. Americans will be
interested in the announcement that the
proprietor of hotel built expressly for
transatlantic visitors openly avows his
intention to get all his money back dur
ing the season Of the exhibition. Ex-
tortion seems to be the order of the day
in Vienna, and after all it may not have
been all native corruption that infected
our Commissioners.
