The Women of Brazil.

A Rio Janerio correspondent Of the
Providence Journal declares that hand
some women are rare in Brazil. and adds:
The face is generally very plain, and
often ugly. and | really believe that be-
cause the lack of cOmeliness is SO frequent
it is not truly apprehended. The complex
ion is generally sallow, never clear and
fresh, and hv no means improved by the
abundant use made of cosmetics. If any
single feature deserves notice, it is the
ewes. and vet these do not possess that
quality which makes even the plainest eyes
brilliant: there is no soul looking ut You
or speaking to YOU through them. Child
hood seems to cover the whole period of
physical beauty. and some of the children
are most interesting; yet even then the
habits and tastes of ignorant and commonly
negro nurses arc fixed, in place of the i'm
pressions of a mothers careful training,
and the example of mothers devoted
life
The excessive vanity of girlhood, which
seems to be encouraged by the parents
rather than restrained; the qualification of
the palate with all manner of sweets and
condiments: the entire absence of any
physical exercise; and what IS more, moth
inc but weakness inherited, cannot assure
any perfect womanliness. Foreign ladies
who teach in the schools (private and Sc
lect schools) have told me that schoolgirl
life in Brazil is in Il most lamentable moral
condition. \ knowledge of French, music
and dancing, is all that is considered worth
obtaining. and then until marriage-whlch
doesn't come at all to many, or if 1t does
come, is an arrangement of the parents,
and simply changes the place of idleness-
they wait, doing nothing. week, month
and year, nothing; they neither study, nor
read, nor sew, they do nothing. In the
forenoon in a state of slothful dishd6ttte,
they dawdle and lounge around the house :
in the afternoon they look out of the win
dows; and this is Il national custom, most
striking to a stranger. to see them, white
and black, high and low, educated and
illiterate, hanging out of the windows,
through the afternoon; indeed, the win
dow seats are fitted with cushions that the
arms NAV not become bruised by the con-
tinual leaning upon them.
In the evening. dressed-and l really
believe the taste displayed would give
Nine. Demorest convulsions if not paraly.
sis-thev sit, and do nothing else. Some
times they speak, and its wonderful what
commonplaces can be uttered, and how
little can be said when the Brazilian
mouth does open. So far as female EN-
ployment is concerned, a Brazilian gir
labor for her support? No. indeed. Sht
would rather have but one dress and turn
it on holidays. Her father would sell hi!
shirt first, and then button up his seedy
coat Her mother would die of mortifica
ton. And so they live. poor and vain
aping at aristocracy and tawdry emptines
of what is ridiculous. The wealthier, ant
not less vain. are surrounded with an at
mosphere of frigid bauteur. through which
only members of the clique have the cour
age to attempt to penetrate.

ture young, and becomes old while still

Trap Rocks.

There is not rock that crops out of the
Ground. or that lies asleep far below its
Surface but has its story 1t was not al
ways stone. Some rocks were once mud
SETTINGS at the bottom of the sea, and
others. in their terrible birth, were era
died in fire. The six days of creation
were good long days, no doubt, with a
lone morning and long evening to every
one of them; and the best reason | have
for this belief is the fact that the rocks
themselves hold, nicely locked up in their
strata. the self-same story of the six days,
in the very order in which Moses gives it.
Among the tire-made rocks the basaltic
or trap ridges and dikes are the most ia
mousa Trap is from a Swedish word
meaning stairs. and the regularly shaped
rocks. fitting together in close columns,
often look like flight of steps.
When from the fiery mass Of liquid rock
below the earth's crust, there is shot up
ward into the sea, or through some crev-
ice in the continent, some of the red hot
mixture. it will form as it gradually cools
under the pressure, regular or prlsmatlc
shapes. Such a formation is called dixie.
That the trap dikes were once rock in a
melted state, is proved by the appearance
distance of several feet the dixie has baked
its neighbors, changing sandstone into
quartz. CLAWS into jasper, and coal into
coke and cinders.
CRYSTALS owe their beautiful shapes tc
the action of intense heat, and the trap
rocks and lavas, though of a coarser grain
when they cool slowly, Z" behave as neal
as NAV be like the crystals, taking in then
formation, regular shapes.
If the lava from volcano should poul
into a deep chasm till it is full, the cool
ING would 90 on slowly. In n hundred
wears. when it is quite cool, it would be
found to have hardened into geometrica
forms. When an earthquake or the action
of water, has torn away the side of A vol
cano, and glimpse of the interior has
been obtained, the rocks have been discov
cred in the columnar form fitting to one
another like the cells of a honeycomb.
This kind of rock scenery is found in al
parts of the world. Fingal's Cave, {
great natural curiosity on the island 0
Staffa. one of the Hebrides, is of this for
nation. Staffa is visited by steamers, bu
it is uninhabited. On the north of IRELAND
is the Giants Causeway. Mount Holyoke
in Massachusetts,, and the palisades on The
Hudson, are also examples of trap ridges
On lake Superior are scenes OF grea
beauty from the same cause. The Deccan
near the Western Ghauts, in Hindostan,
plateau of great extent, affords the mos
remarkable example of trap formation il
the world. The high land, for an exten
of 100000 square miles, is covered witt
these rocks, and the scenery presents 70
mantle succession of walls, chasms, stair
ways, waterfalls. and forests.

Air Poison and its Remedy.

The effects of fresh air upon the human
system are well known to be renewed
strength, increased vital force, and hight
ened complexion; but.the fetid atmosphere
of close rooms produces pallor. weakness.
and diminution of the mental capacity.
1t is remarkable that the same body air.
should have such diametricallv opposite
effects under but slightly altered condi-
tions.
After the discovery. in the last century,
of the composition of atmospheric air
which is about one fifth oxygen and four
fifths nitrogen-it was ignorantly believed
to be the absorption of oxygen by breath
ing, and consequent relative increase Of
nitrogen, that made the air of crowded
rooms noxious; but analysis abolished this
idea, and proved that the relative proper
tions of the two gasses are always the
same. The oxidation of the carbon sup
piled by our food causes the gas eXhaled
from the human frame to be largely COM
posed of carbonic acid; but the chief i'm
purities of the air, which cause decay and
putrefaction of organic matter, are the liv-
ing vibrios. which multiply so rapidly
that, were it not for the eternal compensa-
ton of natural forces, they would soon
suffocate all other life of the earth. Their
fell enemy is ozone, which is oxygen in a
negatively electric state. and exists in our
atmosphere in II proportion varying from
one-ten-thousandth to one one-hundred-
thousandth. Ozone is generated by light
ming flashes, which have been truly said.
from time immemorial. to clear the air.
The evaporation of saline solutions also
disengages ozone. which is always found
in increased proportion on and near the
sea. Being more dense, and one and i
half times more heavy than oxygen, i;
descends to the earth. from which the vib-
rios ascend. 1t has also strong phosphO
ric smell, and has the important property
of combining with all bodies, except gold
platinum, and water This property is it:
great weapon in the destruction Of the vib
ricus.
The open air is the space in which ozone
continually rules, while the vibrios hav,
the supremacy in close and fetid place
where ozone is very seldom or never re
cognized. Every breath we take in sucI
places begins to poison and to weaken on
system, while every breath in the open ri
neutralizes poisonous agents and renew
strength. Scientific 4nlerican.

A Singular Case.

For months have been in the posses
sion of facts concerning the alarming men
1al condition of a young lady residing on
Prospect street. and. who was once the
pride of her parents and the delight of her
friends. vet who recently became SO chang
I'd as to cause great anxiety to her rela-
lives and gossip among her neighbors,
md the case being one of great singularity
now demands publicity. Her father said
he first noticed her idiosyncrasy last JAN
larv, one morning at the breakfast table,
when she not only acted as if in state of
great happiness but said. '' If You please"
and Thank you," as she asked for food
and WAS served. A day or two later her
mother found her in her room darning
stockings instead of reading novels, and
she also appeared in the kitchen day or
two later, and insisted on helping her
parent in the labor of baking and making
pastry and bread. A physician was at
once called in, who. unknown to the
parents. watched her through the KEY hole
for an hour. while she was engaged in re-
pairing her brothers trousers and sewing
buttons on her fathers shirts. The Doc
tor said he had practiced twenty-five years.
md never during his entire practice had
he seen any young unmarried female man.

Her appetite, seemed to increase rather
than diminish, and the rose flush was OBJ
served on her cheeks which had not been
seen before. But the most singular symp-
tom developed few days since, when her
father. hoping to draw her from her new
IDEAS, placed two hundred dollars with the
remark:
There, Mamie, rig yourself out with
nice new dress"
Il do not need new dress now,n she
Immediately replied; but ifyou will let
me keep TWENTY-FIVE dollars of this to pay
old Mrs. Macfannigan's rent-her hus-
band has Just died, you know-Ihad much
rather you would take the rest of the
money and apply it to that new property
YOU have purchased"

utes. and then fell upon the floor in anguish

Her mind is gone, Her mind is
gone.
called to see her yesterday, and found
her boiling rice pudding and putting a
mansard roof of frost work on fruit cake.
But there WAS look in her ewes that told
too plainly that she was not long to be
seen in her elegant home. A solitaire ring
on her finger told of the near approach of
the winged and youthful destroyer who
shoots his victims with arrows: and, as /
left the premises, young man in spring
bottom pants and white hat. bounds up
he steps with the air of one who feels that
the affair will soon be over. She will pass
away some dav in June. No cards.

Temperance in Sweden.

a war against brandy is the peculiar
form the temperance struggle assumes in
Sweden. The Swcdc gets drunk on bran
DIV, if anything. but Of late years the inces-
SAINT activity of the temperance societies
and the high excise duty on this liquor
have forbidden the laboring man the lnXu-
ry of a spree, except nj rare intervals. 50
that it had come 10 be fondly believed the
foe was beaten down for good. Recently,
however. there has been universal rise in
wages throughout the kingdom, and the in
ebriating cup has once more come within
the easy reach of the poorest working
man. And now the temperance folks are
redoubing their efforts to bring moral
forces into action. Societies have been
formed among the WORKING men. which
are widely spreading, the main idea OF
them being. not total abstinence but the
restraint of intemperance. Some of their
novel provisions are, that no married man
shall 90 into public house at all. and the
single man only ut meal times. when he Is
allowed to partake of liquor along with his
victuals. The married man. although
shut out from the public bar, is not dcbar-
red from his glass of brandy. which he
NAV keep stored in the cupboard at home
All public treating is also forbidden and
the trangression of any of these rules sub
iects the delinquent to'a fine. The town O
Gothenburg is the most original in the
methods for the suppression of drunkenness
Here the whole spirit trade has been con
ferred upon a company of philanthropists
who run the business solely for the benefi
of the town. 1t contrives that the public
houses to which licenses are dispense,
/ shall derive no profit from the traffic il
liquors, forcing the hotel keepers to deriv,
their income solely from Il legitimate hote
business. The result has been that the low
and dirty drinking-shops, formerly givel
over to mere guzzling and carousing. hav
been transformed into neat and tidy res
taurants and hotels. where wholesome foo
and unadulterated liquor are supplied.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUs.-Venus ceas-
ed to be the morning star on the 23d of
February. She has since passed to the
east side of the sun and commenced her
course as evening star, at first being so
near him as to be hidden in his rays She
will soon be discernible an hour after sun
set, in the twilight, continuing to increase
her apparent distance from the sun, and
setting later each evening until the 29th of
September, when she will reach her great
est eastern elongation. She will then ap-
proach the sun in same way, setting ear
lier every night, reaching her greatest
brilliancv on the I'd of November, and
coming to her inferior con juncting with the
sun on the 8th of December She will at
that time appear to pass like round black
spot across the suns disc, and crafty the
observing world with sight never before
witnessed by any living inllabtant of the
EARTH the long anticipated Transit of We
nus.
No astronomical event has ever been
looked forward to with such eager inter
est; no such generous appropriations were
ever before made by the governments of
the most civilized countries on the globe
and no such hopes of obtaining convincing
proofs of the most delicate mathematical
computations of celestial bodies were ever
before INDUCED in by the distinguished as
Economical observers of the age
For this seemingly insignificant event
the passing Of tiny black star across the
suns disc-sOme of the best astronomical
scholars in the world, aided by the best in
struments that scientific progress can fur
nish, will cheeriully encounter arctic cold
and tropical heat with zeal and enthusi-
asm that we trust may meet with a fitting
reward. The accuracy, the delicacy, the
patience. the eagle eye and the practised
hand required for these observations are
almost beyond the comprehension of the
unscientific mind But the practical.re-
suit which may be reached will be intelli-
gible to unlearned students of the myste-
ries of the sidereal universe, give a firm
basis on which to compute celestial meas
urement, and show the wonderful capacity
of human reason in measuring the vast
distance between us and the sun by the
passage of a planet across his surface.
We have many things to be thankful for
in this favored nineteenth century One
of these blessings is that the transit of 1874
will occur when we can watch its progress
through the eyes of other observers. An
other is, that the transit of 1882 will be
visible throughout the United States, and
that our own eyes may perhaps, witness
the august phenomenon, aided by the in
creased means afforded by eight years ad-
vance in scientific -Prouidcncc
