DISEASE OF OrE OWN CAUSING.

On an average, one-half Of the number
ofout patients treated by hospital sur
geon suffer from diseases due primarily
to a want Of knowledge of the laws of
health and cIeanliness- /. The ignorance
Of hygienic laws, which Affects 30 disas-
trously the health Of the rich as we'll a.
the poor, exists chiefly in regard to dress,
abLution and ventilation. This state
ment may, at first, appear startling, but
an enumeration Of the diseases that can
be constantly traced to the above causes
will show upon how sound a basis the
statement rests. The following are ex-
ampIes: Varicosa ulcers from dress:
skin diseases for want of cleanliness
chest diseases and fsvers from defective
ventilation. The vast number Of ulcera-
ted legs treated in the out-patient depart
ment of hospitals, in workhouse infrm2-
ies, and in private practice, arise from
yaricose veins. Now, a varicose ulcer Is
caused by a diztended condition of the
veins of the leg, which have to
sustain the pressure Of the blood
caused by gravitation. In various
veins, the valves which help to support
the column of blood are to 4 great extent
destroyed, though the veins having been
distended by mechanical obstruction to
free return of the blood from the extrem-
tiles, thereby diztending the lower veins
and separating the edges of the valves
Thus, the uninterrupted column has to
be borne by the veins. This, Of course
causes further distention, giving rise to
congestion of the capiIlaries of the skin,
and causing swelling, eczema, and uIti-
mately liberation. This is the vsricose
ulcer 50 common in the l2boring classes
1t is always difficult to heal, and often
impossible, except by prolonged rest in
bed. Hence it is the dread of the
surgeon, and the cause Of misery to
thousands.
Vsricose ulcers are seldom admitted
into general hospitals so that hundreds of
poor families are driven to the work
house, and such cases form . majority in
the workhouse infrmary. The most fire.
quent and fragrant cause of obstruction IS
the ordinary elastic garter. Children
should never wear them at all Is the
stockings can be perfectly well kept up
by attachment of elastic straps 70 the
waistband. II garters are worn, it Is i'm
portant to Know how to apply them with
the least risk of harm aC the bend of
the knee the superficial veins of the leg
unite, and go deeply into the under part
OF the thigh beneath the ham-string ten
dons. Thus a ligature below the knee
obstructs all the superficial veins,
but if the construction is above, the ham
string tendons keep the pressure OF the
veins which return the blood from the
legs; unfortunately, most people, in ig-
norance of the above facts, apply the
garter below the knee. Again, in nine
out Of ten Iaboring men, we find piece
of cord or buckled strap tightly applied
below the knee, for what reason could
never learn. Elastic bands are the most
Injurious. They follow the movements
of the muscles, and never relax their
pressure on the veins Son-elastic bands
become considerably relaxed at intervals,
and allow free circulation o. the blood.

like the beauties she read about who

she was neither pretty nor rich, the

Cheap Girls.

A girl who makes herself too
cheap is to be avoided. No young
man, not even the worst, excepting
for base purpose, wants anything
to do with a cheap young lady.
For q wife, none but fool or ras-
cal will approach such a woman.
Cheap jewelry nobody will touch
if he can get any better. Cheap
girls are nothing but the refuse !:
and the young men know it, and
they will look in every other direc-
ton for lifelong friend and COM
panion before they will give
glance at the pinchback stuff that
tinkles at every turn for fascinating
the eye of any that will look. You
think it quite the correct thing
to talk loudly and coarsely, be bois-
ferrous and hoydenish in all public
places; to make yourself so bold
and forward and commonplace
everywhere, that people wonder if
you ever had mother, or home.

will probably be taken for what
You are worth, and one of these
years, if you do not make worse
than a shipwreck of yourself, you

yourself possessed of, and what
evil spirit could have so befooled
you. Go on, but remember, cheap
girls attract nobody but fools and

Marcia went off in .ahuff. Mr.

straight through the garden, across
the lots to the river side. 1t was q
lovely day, and as work was dull,
she meant to loaf and allow ma to
do the. chores, and scoll away at the
broomstick If she pleased.
Sitting under the shade Of the
trees, she began thinking about her
sail in all of life," matrimony.
"Mr. Higgins, indeed. Why, he
was fifty, at least, bald-headed, too,
and talked through his nose"-then
she thought of Mrs. Higgins num-
Der one--a little, meek woman, af.
fraid to "call her soul her own"-and
she was expected to step into her
place-but then, Higgins had mon
ey-and kept fourishing corner

considerably-perhaps after all she
had best marry him, and thus secure
good comfortable home.
| But then it occurred to her that
he had not asked her, and it was so
really comical that she INDUCED in
a hearty laugh.
"Wilt thou not share thy merry

Marcia started; for absorbed in
her musings, she had not noticed
the approach of the tall, handsome
stranger, who now addressed her.
"Do not be alarmed, my mountain
maid. / am a visitor in the neigh
borhood, and while strolling along
by the river / chanced to see you,
aud was attracted BY your beauty
and grace"
Marcia could not utter a word in
reply; but she thought that he talk
ed just like the handsome heroes in
her favorite novels.
A stolen glance revealed to her
that the brightest black eyes she
ever saw were gazing tenderly upon
her. Here then at last was a real
romance, not to be read about, but
to experience; lover, perhaps ;
how delightful, and the sentimental
spinstcr resumed her seat on the
grass, and began to toy coquetishly
with her flaxen curls; they were
false, but he didn't know it. At
last she found voice enough to re-
mark that she had been thinking OF
a Mr.. Higgins, whom her ma want
ed her to marry.
"Ah, one Higgins" he replied
with flashing eyes; "oh, that he
