What the Ladies' Should Wear.

In lecture on the subject of "Dress
Reform" in Boston, on Wednesday
night, DIR. Mary s. Blake is reported to
have related some of the leading points
desired in dress reform. Let the gar
ments be ample in quality and quantity
OF material to give suitable warmth. Let
its distribution be as equable as posi-
BILE: 10 facilitate speed in dressing
and to obviate the necessity for multi
tudinous bands about the waist. unite

drawers. Let no weight whatever rest
upon the hips, and if the shoulders re-
bel against the burdens laid upon them.
tighten them. Let the stockings be Of
WOODEN, if not uncomfortable, and let
them be suspended by elastic bands
from the drawers. If wooden stockings
are uncomfortable, use feece-lined: the
heavier the better. Leggins are not to
be dispensed with in this climate during
the winter season. Let the soles of the
boots be broader than the feet. The
higher the tops of the boots, the warm
er the ankles, provided they are 40
loose that the circulation is free. Do
away with the mass of dead material
false hair on the back of the head. On
the authority of Won Giraffe, the most
eminent oculist of modern times, it was
stated that one of the most prolific
causes OF amaurosis was the wearing of
spotted lace wells and of nearsighted-
ness among children the wearing Of any
wells. AS regards jewels, if they must
be worn, to show them to the best ad-
vantage, follow the example of the
Apache squaws and hang them on the
nose. Finally, if women will live true
to the highest standard for which they
were created, if they will measure their
lives by noble deeds, let them make for
the soul imperishable garments. and
give as little thought as may he to the
clothing of the body.

The AstOl' Estate.

William B. Astor owns. according to
a close estimate, 700 houses. Can any
one OF our readers, by the aid of this
progression, form any idea of the Aston
estate? If so, he can do better than /
can. The aggregate is so enormous as
to be crushing. just think of man
walking up street, finely built on both
sides, lots Is feet front, for nearly two
miles, and feeling that each house is
his. Let him then cross to the other
side of the street and walk the same
distance in return, and feel that each
house he passes is also his property
Let any of our readers who may be
glad to get an humble tenement for $12
per month think of one man owning
row four miles long. Truly, the WAYS
OF Providence in thus loading one man
with such immense wealth. while 40
many of our best citizens are poor. are
indeed mysterious. What a contrast
does this man present with the condi-
ton of Him who had nowhere to Law His
head, condition which is shared by
thousands of our community. Last week
1000 persons lodged in the different
station houses in this city. This number
is about that Of the inhabitants of Mr..
Astor's estate. Cincinnati Gazette.

Remedy for Pear Craeklnr.


The editor of the Gardeners MONTHLY
has strong hope that the cracking Of
the fruit of some varieties of the pear.
for example the White Doyenne, may
be ''entirely cured by thoroughly
scraping of the old bark and washing
the stems of the tree and he thinks
trees OF the Doyenne which bear crack
ed fruit, always have rough shaggy
bark. We shall be glad if this remedy
prove etectual !; but it seems in nearly
all such cases, that our hopes in new
and promising remedies are doomed to
disappointment. So far, all our obser-
vations are against the theory. The
first instance we had of this disease on
our grounds, was over twenty years
ago, on young smooth. backed tree of
the D9yenne, just beginning to bear,
planted where fruit trees never stood
betore-which case is not only opposed
to the smooth backed theory, but was
averse to that of A. j. Downing and
others, that cracking results from
exhaustion of certain elements of the
soil by long continued growth and bear
ing: The worst pears of the Dovenne
which We have lately seen, grew on q
young tree now standing before our
window, the bark smooth and plossv

same age, which have been RECENTLY re-.
grated to Winter Nelis and Giffard.
have borne Virgalieus, black with scab,
biness, while perfectly smooth in bark
some standing in grass, but most Of
them In well cultivated ground. We
shall be glad if these prove to be ex-
ceptions, and that everywhere else a
smooth bark may always give fair and
handsome Virgalieus. >

The Correct Length Of Whinletree..

A horse cannot draw as we'll with
whithetree twelve feet long as with one
two feet six inches in length, because
the line of draught is not in the proper
tlrectlon to be most effective. Nor can
two horses harnessed abreast draw well
with whifletrees ten feet long, while
their heads are coupled close together
because they must travel sideways more
or less, in which position no animal can
exert oil his strength to the best advan-
tage in drawing load.
Horses draw best with the double
whifletree just long enough to allow
them to stand close to each other, hay
ing the single whifletrees attached
directly behind them, and just long
enough to meet in the middle. When
the doubletree is very long, each horse
must draw more or less sideways if the
coupling lines and the neck-yoke are
not made long enough to allow them to
move directly forward without having

Western Australia...I Hitherto I'm.
explored RogiOnS.

In the spring Of 1873 two expeditions
started on explorations through West
ern Australia, through country hitherto
unknown. Col. Egerton Warbuton and
MIR. Gosse were the respective leaders
of the expeditions, and the ultimate
destination of both was Perth, but the
starting points were some 200 miles
apart. Mr.. Gosse's expedition was
conducted with horses at the expense
OF the Government of South Austria
Col. Warbuton's was fitted out by the
iberality Of Hon. Thomas Elder, MI.
O., who lent thirty camels for the &C.
casion. It seems that the camels beat
the horses in endurance.
Col. Warburton arrived in January
at Perth, having traversed over a thou
sand miles through difficult country.
His account was not as yet arrived, but
it will be of great geographical interest:
Mr.. Gosse's party was unfortunate.
however, and did not succeed in getting
through to Perth. He gives this sum-
mary of his struggles

April 21 at a place within the tropics.
and about fifty miles south of Central
Mount Stuart, the expedition first OF all
traced the Reymonds Range, for q dis
lance of As miles. Finding it impos-
sible to force passage from that point,
it dropped back few miles, and thence
pursued course somewhat west of
south for thirty miles or thereabouts to
Lake Amad Gus. Having succeeded in
freeing himself from this natural OBJ
struction, Mr.. Gosse proceeded almost
due south for space of over 100 miles.
It was ut the termination of this stage
that the most notable of his discoveries
was made.
There is something romantic in the
idea of huge monolith !, 100 feet high
and six or seven miles in girth at its
base being found in this out-of- the-way
place, and the romance is heightened
by the fact that q stream of water fed by
a spring in the centre of the conglomer-
ate flows from the rock.
In this neighborhood the country is
sandy and poor whereas 80 or 40 miles
to the southwark on the boundary be-
tween the northern and southern parts
of the colony there is considerable
track of splendid land, we'll watered,
and apparently well grassed. Passing
through this, Mr.. Gosse reached the
western limit of the province, where he
once more encountered the inevitable
spinifex. Thirty miles further to the
westward he had brush with the M
tiyes.
The weather was the hottest he ever
felt in September. He was forty miles
west of the furthest water found, not
likely to last more than fortnight, and
saw it was useless trying the horses
longer without water. Had the spinifex
not been SO bad he should have taken
the camels, but they would not face it.
With summer before him and no per-
manent water to fall back upon, he
considered it would be madness to re-
main longer in such a dry country.
With great reluctance he commenced
his return to the telegraph line on
Sept. %, following his outer track to
the Mann Ranges, then along south
sile, all excellent country, and some
good water.

In recent experiment. made for the
purpose of destroying fungus on the
onion, the following mode has proved
very successful: Some specimens were
obtained in the market, covered with
amber-colored fungus. I secured one
OF them in an inverted glass receiver,
which placed over beaker filed with
nitrous acid. The fumes arising from
the acid, without the application of
heat, enveloped the onion, and soon
dissolved and destroyed the fungus
covering it's surface. In order to ascer-
tain whether the life of the plant had
been destroyed, I placed it in q bulb
glass filed with water. It sprouted in
few days. and is now in healthy growth
on my desk. It has numerous leaves.
which have attained q length of six to
twelve inches; thus showing conclusive
~ that, in some cases, fungoid growths
may be effectually destroyed without
injury to the plants ON which they
grow.
This principle admits of many impor.
tant applications. In some diseases of
the potato the surface alone appears to
be affected, and the same is true in re.
gard to certain diseases affecting the
tubers, roots, fruits, and grains OF vari-
GUS other plants, any Of which may be
readily exposed in large quantities to
the fumes of nitrous acid. As nitrous
acid has the power of depriving organic
bodies OF their oxygen, it's destructive
action on fungus is prabably due to this

Substitute for Brook Trout.

The following, which we cut from the
Rochester Union, will be interesting to
the lovers of TINT dainty fish, the speck-
led trout:
1t has long been an an acknowledge
ed fact that trout are dying ont in our
streams and fast becoming extinct. As
the country becomes more thickly set
tied the trout ore rapidly taken up,
and owing to the presence of dams and
other artificial obstructions they are
driven from their spawning grounds,
and are thus unable to replenish their
depleted numbers. Piseiculturists have
long been seeking for some fish more
hardy than the trout to take it's place,
and have found it, as they believe, in
the 'grayling,' a fish similar in all res
poets to trout, which abounds in
Europe, but which until recently, was
supposed not to he indigenous to this
country. As yet, however, the grayling
has been found in but one stream in
this Countrywide Au Sable River in
Michigan. Seth Green, being conf
dent that this fish is destined to play m
important part in stocking our exhaust
ed trout streams, sent to Michigan for
specimens, and has received two fine
graylings from D. H. Fitzhugh of Bay
City. Mr.. Ftzhugh writes that they
are abundant in An Sable River. He
took these specimens with fly, and
could have made good days sport ut
the business had he felt disposed. Mr..
Green has examined this fish, and finds
it identical with the old country gray
ling. If it proves to be spring.
Matching fish, as is believed to be the
case, it will naturally be more hardy
than the trout, and therefore well
adapted to take it's place in the streams
where the latter can no longer propa-
gate its species. This is an important
as it will save the trouble of
going to Europe for these fish, and
demonstrates ut the same time, that
species will breed and flourish in our
waters. Seth Green will visit the Au
Sable River at the proper time, and
make preparations to experiment with
the grayling;'
