Temporary Weakness.

That the labor Of the brain, the limbs, the
hands, etc., may produce general feeling of
fatigue or lassitude, is very manifest, gener-
al depression affecting the whole body. This
is just as true of the stomach, the undue exer-
tion-toil-of this organ, depressing. crush
ing and facilitating the whole body even
more decidedly than the exertion of any
other part of the body of similar size. 1t is
not too much to say that much of the sensa-
ton of fatigue, especially in the hot weather.
is attributable to the depressed state of the
organs of digestion, on the principle of SYM
pathy, or the influence of one organ over an
another. That the peculiar, deathly feeling
on hot summers morning, when the night
has been robbed of its power to refresh the
body by the tolls of the stomach, with conse-
quent wakefulness, results, mainly, from too
heavy a meal at tea or bed time, is quite ap
parent, affecting even the limbs, as well as
the brain. 1t is explainable on the. suppose
ton that the body has only given amount
of power, vitality, and that, when most of
that is taken away from the brain, the limbs,
etc., actually robbed of their vital capital,
weakness must result. 1t as true that the
limbs, ETC., may as certainly lose their power,
as that the brain is made inactive and slug
gish when the stomach demands almost the
entire powers of the system in its herculean
efforts to dispose of the masses of indigesti-
BILE food thrown into it by the unthinking.

Charles Dickens. Soon now they will be
following the footsteps of Macleod of Dare,
perhaps. or looking up the localities of the
next story writer who stamps his die with
such vigorous action as to impress all hearts
with the personality of his fancies or his por-
traits
Certainly this is great tribute TO the pow
er of genius, and to the fact of the existence
of genius in the popular writers of fiction.
For it is not only persons and places that
have just been made so real, but bygone gen.
erations have been infused with such a fresh
life that they have become as vivid to us as
to-day is and scenes and times that would
have been but dry bones otherwise have grown
animated and human and full of vital pith
and marrow unGer their hand.
Does not Hawthorne, in the Scarlet Let
ter" and other of his tales, make the people
of the Old Puritanic era, that once had been
repulsive to us as ghouls and COLLINS, crea-
lures of flesh and blood, passions and emo
tions like our own, so that we can under
stand them, feel with them, aspire with them,
forgive them2 Do we not picture to our
selves and realize more clearly the domestic
life of ancient Egypt, better than all the
tones of history can teach 1t, on reading
Theophile Gautier's "Romancc of MUM
my7" What should we reck of the barbaric
tribes of little peninsula in the Levant,
and its rocky islets, if Homer had not held
up his torch to their struggles? Do we not
all feel that Homer created Helen2 and
should we care a straw for all Schliemann's
work, if Homer had never sung of Achilles
and the Xanthus? And fgenius can do all this
for time and place, and with persons that
have no other home or existence than in the
cells of the brain, what can it not do, what
has it not done, for the passions and senti-
ments, casting its Examinations through ali
the dark, unknown places as it studies the
science of the SOUL One can not deny that
it has made human nature acquainted with
itself, and one is tempted to think that in its
best and purest effort it is yet to be great

lofty standards it is to set up, and the ideals

Moths.

A word in season, if it is the right word,
regarding moths, will be equivalentin utility
to the old adae e, ga stitch in time saves nlne'
An obscure student Of economic housewifery,
who has attentively regarded for series of
year. the action of different vegetable SUBJ
stances on the life and destruction of insects,
has discovered the proper food for the greedy
moth, all mouth. 1t is cheaper than cam
phor or tobacco, has no smell, and is always
available. A pound or two or three of black
pepper, ready pulverized for table use, scat
tered freely among your furs and woolens,
can easily be shaken out in the autumn by
some hand, willing and happy to be hired
to sneeze, and the garments will be found
uninjured. A lady who packed up her per-
sonal effects in the loose confusion of too
little time and strength to devote thereto,
hurried them off to one of our great store
houses, and left them untouched during the
absence of three years. She had tossed an
pepper with random lavishness through
each trunk, box, and defenseless bag of bun.

wool garments perfectly unframed after their
three years of extra exposure among the
quantities of other families goods accumulat-

superseded by other furs to match suits, es-
capped use for fifteen or twenty years and was
seldom looked at. Well peppered, and
with other extra care. it is clean, fresh, and
unchanged to-day. An economic object
attained, better few cachinatory occasions,
and funny profusion of sorrowless tears, or
an hours humbug cough, in looking over a
trunk, iii earns money faster than it can
be earned any other way. In fact, this is
the chief way in which pepper should be used,
unless one wants to scare the moths out of
ones stomach at the cost of wearing out and
burning up the delicate tissues of the inner
man. Pepper to be trodden under foot in
the shoe on cold journey, or in case of a
constitution where the blood needs to be
coaxed down toTthe feet, is indeed useful
also; but the evident chief object of nature
in providing black pepper is to defend man.
