SENSIBLE TALK-Emiiy Huntington
Miller has been giving some sensible
talks which deserve the attention of every
young girl in the land. She says:
What better is she if she persists in
Stiffness and loudness and obtrusive man
ners? Her researches among the treasures
of science, and familiarity With the
thoughts of genius, are of no value il they
cannot furnish her with subjects of con-
versation more mighty than the gossip Of
society, the scandal Of the day and the
probable intentions Of young men who
never had an intention in their lives, and
are not capable of one until their brains
acquire more solidity. Her artistic ac-
complishments are absolutely worthless
unless they teach her how to beautify and
adorn her home, how to distinguish the
false from the true, how to be in her own
person an embodiment of that grace and
purity and cha.te beauty which the world
worships in the marble and canvas of the
old masters; unless they teach her radi-
cal adherence of all the hideous distor-
tions of fashion; of outward show, with
inward untidiness; Of tawdry ornaments,
obtrusive finery and unclean. trailing tat
tiers. OF what avail is it that she knows
every law of her own body. and can trace
for you with scientific accuracy the work
ing of every organ, and the linked steps
of each wonderful process of life, if she
lives in daily violation Of them all; laying
a murderous hand upon respiration and
circulation; lunching at midnight upon
fruit. cake and pickles, and dreaming un-
utterable things in room hermetically

CELLARS.-Cellars under houses are
generally poorly ventilated, for most OF
them do not have at any time the direct
rays Of the sun-the chief of all healthy
hygienic influences. There are very few
that are not damp enough to accumulate
mold.
The cellar, both in town and country. is
the depository both Of fruit and vegeta-
tion, more or less of which are always in
process of decay. Rat holes frequently
connect it with cesspools or other sources
of miasma. Rubbish is apt to accumulate
in it, either interfering with its proper
cleansing or directly increasing the impu-
rity of its air.
Now what would be thought if beneath
every house, instead of cellar, there was
IN open pit that was constantly exhaling
poisonous vapors? And yet practically a
celler such as We have described, which
must engender impure air, is Just this.
lis air comes up into the house through
the cellar-way, or through the cracks in
the floor, or through the air-ppe of the
furnace, not only when the furnace is sup
piled with air from the cellar, but quite
often through cracks and loose joints in
the cold air-box.
We may not be able to remedy theN evil
in full. but we may reduce it to mini
mum by such ventilation as is possible; by
the use OF disinfectants; by frequent
cleansing; by keeping vegetables and rub
bish out OF the cellar; by abolishing the
cellar water closet; by having the floor
thoroughly cemented, the walls we'll
painted and whisewashed, and the beams
overhead lathed and plastered.

SEND FOR MOTHER" Dear me. it was
not enough for me to nurse and raise a
family of my own, but now when I'm old
and expect to have little comfort here.
it is all the time send for mother "
And the dear old soul growls and grum-
bles, but dresses herself as fast rs she can,
notwithstanding. After you have trotted
her off, and got her safely in your home,
and she flies around, administering reme-
dies and rebukes by turns, you feel easier.
It's all right now, or soon will be-mother
has come.
In sickness, no matter who is there or
how many doctors quarrel over your case,
everything goes wrong, somehow, till you
send for mother.
In trouble, the first thing you think of
is to send for mother
But this has its ludicrous rs we'll as its
touching aspect. The verdant young couple
10 whom baby's extraordinary grimaces
and alarming ynwns, which threaten the
dislocation of is chin; its wonderful
sleeps, which it accomplishes with its
[eyes half open, causing the young mother
to imagine it is dead this time. and to
shrek out, " send for mother in tones of
anguish-this young couple, in the light
of experience which three or four babies
bring, find that they have been ridiculous,
and have given mother good many trots
for nothing.
Did any one ever send for mother and
she failed to come? Never, unless sick
ness or the infrmities of age prevented
her. AS when, in your childhood, those
willing feet responded to yoar call, 80 they
still do, and will continue to do as long rs
they are able. And when the summons
comes which none yet disregarded, though
it will be a happy day for her, it will be
Il very dark and sad Que for you, when
God, too, will send for mother

Poisonous HATS, GLOVES, STOCKINGS
AND CLorHING.-It is not long since sew
eral cases of arsenical poisonings were
traced to the wearing of scarlet and blue
stockings. Next came somewhat re-
markable case in which the mischief was
traced to highly colored hat lining.
More recent English and German papers,
medical and other, have called attention
to dangerous gloves. In the London
Times a writer describes the poisonous
effect of pair Of the fashionable bronze
green " gloves when worn by member of
his family. After wearing them day or
two the patient was attacked with pe-
cular blistering of both hands, which in
creased to such an extent that for three
weeks she was compelled to carry her
hands in a sling, suffering acute pain, and
being, of course, unable either to feed or
drees herself. Inquiries among the
writer's friends discovered three other
ladies similarly afflicted. A German med
ical journal reports a case of serious pois-
oning by pair of navy blue kids. Dress
goods of woolen, silk and cotton have
been found to contain arsenic in dangerous
quantities; so also gentlemen's under
clothing. socks, hat Innings and the lining
of boots and shoes. Professor Nichols OF
the Massachusetts institute of technology
reports the examination of lady's dress
which contained eight grains of arsenic to
the square foot. In Troy, n. Y, lately,
the death of child was attributed TO ar
senic sucked from veil which had been
thrown over the child's crib to keep of
the flies. 1T this rate. it will soon become
necessary to test for arsenic all goods
purchased beforJ wearing them; or else

oncus dye."-Scientifc american.

JAIL CURIOSrrY.-As they now have
rough lot of customers at the county Jail,
it was yesterday thought worth while to
overhaul all the cells in order to see what
was going on among the prisoners. Stick
ing into the under side of bench they
found large jtekknife, which had been
ground to n sort Of dagger point, making
it an ugly weapon. An ordinary case
knife was found, which had been sharpen
ed till it would shave like 4 razor; also Il
case knife which had been made into Il
saw. A Chinese opium pipe Was found
relied up in some blankets, and several
lots of opium were brought to light, one
lot being found in the possession OF L
white man.
In one Of the Chinese cells WAS found an
opium pipe, manufactured in the Jail,
which is quite curiosity. 1t is construct
ed of soda bottle, into one side of which
has been drilled hole a little larger than
a common pin. How this small hole was
drilled into u substance rs hard rs glass is
a mystery. but it is said there is = way OF
doing it by means of the point of stick.
creased, dipped in ine dust or sand, and
whirled rapidly between the palms Of the
hands. Several thicknesscs paper have
been pasted over the boiy of the bottle to
prevent it cracking when held against the
flame of candle in smoking, and stem
was fitted in the neck Of the bottle by
splitting stick, cutting groove in it, and
then fastening the halves together by
wrapping them with a strip Of ticking
gummed over with a paste of cheved
bread. This rude pipe showed signs Of
having given frequent soace to its owner.
He probably missed it sadly Some of the
opium confscated was found secreted in
queer places.-TrGinjl City (Nerald)
