Fattening Young Women.

Throughout the interior of Africa, and, indeed, in some parts of Asia, a woman is prized for fatness. Beauty is associated with excessive obesity; and such being public sentiment, mothers seasonably commence system of dietic treatment that makes their daughters irresistible. Colonel Heating gives an account of the process of fattening young women for a Tunis market. As soon as betrothed, she is cooped up in a small room, with gold shackles on her ankles. If her proprietor has lost a wife by death, or divorced one. their anklets are entforward for the new mat rimonial candidate. When she has at tained desirable size, indicated by filling the pattern rings, she is carried in triumph to her new home.
 The preparations of food that actually produces the coveted dimension-moun- tain of fatness-is called draught, made of the seed of vegetable peculiar to this country. Some positively die from excessive fatness in an effort to srlrpass ln that bewitching ngaccomplishment rival candidates for matrimonial positions. These famous mortals are not the poor girls. They are the highest orders of society, and therefore are ambitious, like fashionablesin some civilized States, of securing an elevated position with a rich husband. Bruce, the traveller, saw great queen in Africa-a gem of woman, the envy of her sex and wife hunters-who weighed over four hun dred pounds.

A Delightful Romance.

The characters for delightful TO- nance are lying hidden in American so- clety on the verge of Lake Ontaria. The lakes attract gchivalrous and ven- turesome natures of foreign birth as they used to draw the gallant explorers of early times. Not person in the township but knows that the ineal de- scendant of the Earl of Mar lives in one of the western counties of New York 1; and we are told that an Ontario farmer inherits this proud title. It descends to him on the maternal side from Philadel- phia Monteith, Countess of Mar and Kellie. None the less was the Yankee Earl the son of an old Champlain steam boat captain, renowned on the lake for his good nature and good living. It is not known what freak brought him to this country, but he died here, leaving two children, the present heir to the ti- tie, which he refuses to accept, and 8 daughter Philadelphia, named after her great-grandmother the old Countess. The daughter married gentleman by the name of Bayard, of New Orleans, who is wealthy. Young Monteith mar rled farmers daughter and lives on his acres, near the lake, thorough American republican democrat. His only care is to hide his title, and he sturdily refuses to be called anything but Squire Monteith, though he con stantly receives letters from the nobili- ty abroad in full blazon of his rank. He also refuses all emoluments belonging to his earldom, such as tithes of fishery and woodland and grange, except those resulting from the crown.

English Sleeping-Cars.

For the first time in the history of the country sleeping-car was r4n on a British railway in the month of Febru- ary, 1873. No one will be surprised to learn that the affair was vastly inferior to those in such general use in America. The London NeaUs gives 8 description of the single car thus far in use. It is thirty feet long, about half the length of 8 "Pullman sleeper" One end is devoted to luggage compartment, the other to an ordinary second-class com partment. The part devoted to sleep ing arrangements is eighteen feet in length, in two saloons, each giving ac- commodation to three passengers. There is apparently no partition or cur tains, between the beds, so that unless there is party of three to take 8 com partment, one or more of the beds must be unoccupied, provided the travellers are at all particular about their sleeping companions. The most singular thing about this single sleeping car, owned by company that operates more than eight hundred miles of railway, is, that it is not proposed to run it regularly, but only when it has been specially be- spoken. It is interesting to learn that the doors of the car open in such way that the occupant of either bed may go out without stepping over anybody j; but to do so he is obliged to dismount at the foot of his own bed, as the three mattresses touch each other at the side and fill up the whole space between the sides of the car.

Cultivating a Pure Expression.

Every word that falls from the lips of mothers and sisters especially should be pure, and concise, and simple not pearls, such as fall from the lips of the princess, but sweet, good words, that little children can gather without fears of soil, or after shame or blame, or any regrets to pain through all their life.
 Children should be taught the ire quent use of good, strong, expressive words-words that mean exactly what they should express in their proper places.
 IL child, or young person, has 8 loose tiung-together way of stringing words when endeavoring to say some thing, he should be made to ''try again" and see if he cannot do better.
 It is painful to listen to many girls talk. They begin with My good ness '''and interlard it with "oh's ?" and sakes alive P and ''so sweet p and "so queenly," and so many silly phrases that one is tempted to believe they have had no training at all, or else their mothers were very foolish women. There is nothing more disgusting than the twaddle of ill-bred girls; one is provoked often into taking up paper and reading, and letting them ripple and gurgle on, like brooks that flow they know not whither. 5
 My heart warns with love for sensible girls and pure boys and, after all, if our girls and boys are not this, I fear it is our own fault-that this great trust rests in the heart and hands of the women of our land. If we have noble, useful purpose in life, we will infuse the right spirit into those around us.- Artt1r's Home Maga9ine.

Wake Up The System.


 When the physical energies droop and the mind becomes lehargic, it may be taken for granted that the digestion is impaired and the liver derelict in its duty. Upon the condition of the stomach and liver depend the condition Of the blood and upon the quality of that fluid depends the vigor of the body and the capacity brain labor It is there- fore, of the utmost importance to men engaged in active pursuits who subject to attacks bodi- ly weakness and mental stupor or indifference, to know from what source they can obtain immediate and permanent relief. The tonic and anti-bilious 8 stimulating clements combined in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters peculiarly adapt that genial pre- paration to cases of this kind. The rapidity with which it rouses the dormant powers of the muscu- lar and nervous system, is marvellous. Acting first the fluids of the body the nerves and the brain it renovates, refreshes and regulates, not only the corporal powers, but the mind itself. As debility and it's usual concomittant, mental torpor or de- pression are often caused, and where they already exist, are always aggravated by the damp and variable weather prevalent in the spring months, persons of feeble stamina and weak nerves, should go through a course of this agreeable stimulant at this season, and indeed would derive great advan- tage from taking it at least once day throughout the year.

One Hundred Thousand Buffaloes Killed.

The Danver (Col.) News states that the station of Dodge City, on the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe road, is the principal point of shipmsntof the buffalo meat and hides in Kansas. They do very little besides outfit hunters, bar ter, and quarrel over game, extinguish disputes and disputers at the point of arms, and have lively times generally. The arithmetic of the extinction of the bison of the Plains is terrible, and, if the statistics be right, it would seem that the flush times in meat and hides cannot last long. The railroad reached Dodge on the 23d of last September, and since that time 43, ,029 hides have been shipped, and in the same brief season 1,436, 290 pounds of buffalo meat Each hide counts buffalo slain, and 43, GOO hides in three months convey an idea of magnificent butchery that forecasts the speedy extinction of the prairie denizen. The buffaloes that are killed In summer, or early autumn, in wanton cruelty, miscalled sport, and for food by the frontier residents, are not taken into this account. The greater portion of this meat has been shipped to Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, and other Eastern cities. The above figures, though indicating an immense slaugh- ter, do not represent the total of this seasons hunt. The grand total for the season of 1872-3, around Dodge, will probably reach 1000 head.
