HIaH-HEELED SHoEs.-At a recent
meeting of the Pennsylvania State Med
ical Society, DR.. Atlee referred to the
"delicate girl" of the period, and point
ed out some of the causes at. work in
the destruction OF her health. Among
these, reference was made to the pres
ent style of high heels. "Her heel
mark, said the doctor, sis scarcely lar
ger than the thumb nail. Look at her
shoe, with its narrow sole, heel two
inches high, shaved down to point,
and placed almost under the instep. In
stead of the points of support being on
a level, the heel is tilted up two inches
higher, the foot is crowded forward. the
great toe is forced over the others. She
is constantly walking down hill. and in
health is going down hill all the time.
All this forces her entire frame out of
its proper line, and she is compelled,
in order to maintain her perpendicular.
to throw her hips back" He contras-
ted the real and the fashionable wom-
an, and thus accounted for many of her
ailments. He urged . change in dress
that woman should no longer BIZ thus
sravested and injured by fashion. He
allude to the fearful increase in the
use, by woman, of tonics and stimulants,
as partly the result Of indisposition
arising from her dress fashions, and
urged, very emphatically, a REFORM

T At Atlanta, Ga, last autumn, a
negro built a coop six feet by seven
into which he put a dozen partridges,
the ground being first covered with
grass. During the winter they thrived.
in the spring they mated. laid eggs and
Matched out several broods of young.
and the negro now has about sixty
young partradges, all doing well. They
are tame, healthy and seem to be con-
tented.
The COUNTRY DocToR.-Country doc
ors have sometimes a pretty hard read
to travel. The following anecdots il
lustrates it. The poor doctor is called
from his bed on stormy night with the
stirring summons:
Doctor, want you to come right
away off to Banks. His child is dead. "
"Then why do you Gomez"
"He's pisoned. They gin him laud-
anum, too paragoricky."
"How much have they given hin?"
"Do'no; a great deal. Think he
won't get over it."
The doctor pushes off through the
storm, meets with divers mishaps on
the way, and at length arrives at the
house of the poisoned patient. He finds
all closed, not alight to be seen. He
knocks at the door, but no answer. He
knocks furiously, and at last a night cap
appears at the chamber window and
womar's voice squeals out, "Who's
there?"
"The doctor, to be sure. You sent
for him."
80, it's no matter, doctor, Ephriam
is better. We got a little skered. kind
er. Gin him laudanuu, and he slept
kinder sound, but he's woke up now"
"How much laudnum did he swal-
low?"
"Only two drops. 'Taint hurt him
none. Wonderful bad storm tonight. :"
The doctor turns away, buttening up
his overcoat under his throat, to seek
his home again, and tries to whistle
away his modification and anger, when
the voice called:
doctor, doctor!'
"What do you want?"
"You won't charge nothing for this
visit will yer"

Eaas By WE1oHr.-The legislature Of
Massachuse II, tas lately passed law
making it 1eeeEsary that dozen eggs
eight one and one-half pounds. This
. q raove in the right direction, and we
hop 9 that all of the other States may
speedily follow the good example set by
Massachusetts,. 1t il annoying to the
breeder of blooded and fine fowls to find,
when'he offers for sale eggs nearly twice
as large as his neiehbors. that they
bring no more per dozen than do the
smaller ones. Also, the consumer is
often vexed to find that he must pay the
same price to-day for dozen eggs
weighing but pound that he yesterday
paid for dozen weighing pound and
a half. Besides, an egg from a well-fed
fowl is heavier and richer than an egg
from a com mon fowl that is only half
feo, SO that weight compared to size is
an indication of richness. Thus egg.
of which eight will weigh pound are
better and richer than those of compar-
atively the same size of which ten are
required for a pound.-Ne,o England

one jurors, after he and the other ju
Tors were gone from the bar to consider
their verdict, he was committed to the
Fleet Pris on until he paid a fine. In
another case the jury being Withdrawn
after evidence, and remaining long
time without concluding on their YER
dict, the officers who were attendin e
them, seeing their delay, Sc arched
them. and found they had pippins,
which being mentioned to the court,
they were examined on oath, and two OF
them confessed that they hadeaten figs
before they were agreed on their YER
dict, and three confes sed that they had
pippins, but had not eaten any of them ;
and that this was unknown to the par
ties. Those who had eaten were fined
95, and those who had the pippins for
ty shillings; yet the verdict, upon great
consideration and after conference with
the other judges, was held to be good.
Even at the present time in England
neither food mol. fire nor drink, excep
water, is allowed to the jury. In re-
cent case uring q severe winter. the
court allowed a good supply of gas, but
refused fire.
