Warm Weather Diet,

The first warm days are fruitful OF
complaints about the failure of appetite.
Breakfasts are no longer relished; din
ners afford but a languid interest, and
suppers seem superhuous. Only vigor-
GUS workers out of doors, or young peo-
ple who are so blessed as not yet 10 nave
made the acquaintance ottheir stomacns,
come to the table with q real zest for
food. And it is no wonder, considering
how few people have yet learned the art
of altering their diet to suit their own
conditions and the state OF the season.
The spring appetite fails and ought to
fail, before ham and eggs or a great
piece of steak, on these enervatlng nrst
warm mornings of the year. Rich soups,
heavy meats and all stimulating and
blood making articles of diet, that met
real want in the nipping and eager air OF
winter, are as much out OF place now as
! the furs and ulsters. And yet many q

gruity in eating in the December fashion
! Food and coal create heat, and thick
! clothing and tight houses preserve 1t for
the comfort of the body in winter. Yet
men who know enough to dump their
furnaces, open the windows and lay oil
their oyercoats on the advent OF spring,
are stupid enough to keep on stoking
their stomach ut full blast and consider
themselves "out-of- sorts and Ill II
nature resents the abuse.
1t is time to let up on the cold weather
diet-especially for persons doomed to
live indoors. A mold of well-cooked
oatmeal, served cold VITA cream and
sugar, with two or three oranges and a
cup of coffee, makes an adequate and
appetizing breakfast. All fruits and
vegetables attainable fit in well mt this
season. The many preparations OF the
small grains afford a variety which II
is well TO study. Milk and eggs and fish
contain all the needed foOd-elements for
diet of month or two, with such
sugar and starch as the housewife COM
bines in toothsome light puddings or
. other desserts. Whether we eat to live
, or live TO eat, we ought TO be rational
) enough to dispense wiCh food when not
/ hungry and to tempt rather than force
the appetite. Golden Rule.

SAND. Showers in China.

Every year witnesses curious sand
showers in China when there is neither
cloud nor fog in the sky, but the sun is
scarcely visible, looking very much as
when seen through smoked glass. The
air is filled with fine dust, entering
eyes, nostrils and mouth, and often
causing serious diseases ofthe eye. This
dust, or sand, as the people call it, pene-
trate houses, reaching even apartments
which seem securely closed. 1t is sup
posed TO come from the great desert of
Cobb, as the sand of the Sahara is
taken up by whirlwinds and carried
hundreds of miles away. The Chinese,
while sensible to the personal discom-
fort al ising from these showers, are re-
signed to them from a conviction that
they are a great help to agriculture.
They say that a year of numerous sand
showers is alwaysa year OF great fer
till y. The sand probably imparts some
enriching elements to the soil, and II
also tends TO loosen the compact allu-
vial matter Of the Chinese valleys. 1t is
possible that these showers may be
composed OF microscopic insects, like
similar showers which have been noticed
! in the Atlantic ocean.

Something GOOd,

When over the fair fame of friend or foc
The blight of deep disgrace shall fall, instead
OF words OF blame, or proof OF thus and 50,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
Nav fall so low but love may lit his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet,
If something good be said.
No plying heart may vainly turn aside
In ways of charity; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and gorihed,
If something good be said.
And so l charge ye, by the thorny crown,
And by the cross on which the Savior bied,
And by your own souls hope of fair renown,
Let something good be said!

FOR TIE FAIR SEX.
FicIlus.

Fichus.
The lichu is very conspicuous lea !
ture in summer toilets, and appears |
in various ways. Sometimes it is made |
of the dress material, and forms the |
drapery on the bosom; when made OF
white muslin, and very small, 1T takes
the place of collar or fTill; again, Bthe
large shawl-shaped fichus of white lace
and null are used to complete water
ing-place toilets; and the fichu-man-
tie of black lace, Surah, or camePs-hair
is the fashionable wrap for city streets
or drives. The fichu as part of the dress
trimming is especially pretty on thin
muslin, grenadine, or light silk dresses.
For such purposes it is made of four
folds of the material cut bias, and edged
at the top and bottom with a narrow
plating, or else a ruffie of the goods
taken double. This passes around the
back of the neck, and extends down the
fronts as far as the top OF the darts,
where it is rounded off, or else it may be
heightened so that the ends will be con-
cealed under the belt. A ruffle OF lace
or linen collar is worn around the neck.
Very small fichus of white soft null are
made with a point behind, are turned
over at the top, and rounded in front;
they are then edged with lace two inch
es wide, and this lace is also put on the
upper part, which is turned down, thus
making two rows in the back, When
completed this fichu is scarcely larger
than a lady's pocket handkerchief folded
triangularly, and is worn close and high
about the throat, dispensing with the
warm linen collar or the full ruff of lace.

and is very dressy. Ladies who make
braid laces, and who do fanciful pat.
terms of tatting, make this small tichu
without muslin, and entirely OF the tat
ting or lace. The shawl-shaped muslin
fichus are large enough to reach nearly
to the elbows, are quite straight and
close fit ing across the back, and have
ends loosely tied in front. They are
shaped by a seam in the back, where q
sloJed piece is set in. The upper part
of the fichu is turned down very broad
ly and when trimmed with wide lace il
meets the row of lace on the lower edge
Tnis is the prettiest wrap Tor wearing
with white dresses and the white gypsy
hats that are now trimmed with muslin
and lace.
White silk-muslin fichus are made tC
use instead of laces with dressy toilets
and are trimmed with embroidery o
white silk done on the muslin. New
black fichus, to be worn in the same
way, are of transparent square meshes
like those of grenadine, and are bright
ened by being elaborately wrought witt
iridescent beads and gold threads. Th
Spanish lace tichus are popularity wOrl
both in black and white laces, and il
the small sizes like mere collarettes, a
well as the large mantillas. .-Bdzdr.

Humming in the clover,
With the gIccu leaves under you,
And the blue sky over,
Why are you so busy, prayI

Hovering now above a flower,
Now hali-buried in il!
Jaunty rObbln red-breast,
Singing loud and cheerly,
From the pink-white apple tree
In the morning early,
Tell me, is your merry song
just for your own pleasure,
Poured from such tiny throat,
Without stint or measure?
Little yellow buttercup,
By the wayside smiling,
Lifting up your happy lace,
With such sweet beguiling,
Why are you so gnyly clad
Cloth of gold your raimentl

Look to you Tor payment

Lilies, cool and sanity,
Darling bue-eyed violets,

Sweet peas that, like butterflies,
Dance the bright skies under

A beginning is about to be made, says
Mature, to carry out Lieutenant Wey-
precht's proposal for a circle OF observ
ing stations around the north polar
region. The Danish government has
resolved to establish station at Uper-
nivik, in West Greenland; the Russian
government has granted u subsidy for
an observatory at the mouth OF the
Lena and another on the New Siberian
islands; Count Wilczek is to detray the
expenses OF a station on Nova Zembla
under the direction of Lieutenant Wey-
precht; the United States signal service
under General Meyer. has received per-
mission to plant an observatory at Point
Barrow, in Alaska; and it is expected
that Canada will have similar estab.
lishment on some point on her Arctic
coast. Al the Hamburg conference it
was announced that Holland would
furnish the funds for station in Spitz-
bergen; and tis expected that Norway
will have an observing post on the ex'
tremity of the province of Finmark.
This is a good beginning, and it is hoped
that some sort of agreement will be es-
tablished to have all the observations
made after a uniform method, otherwise
their value will be greatly decreased.

Fashion Notes.

Bead collars increase in popularity.
Japanese pongee is a summer nov
city.
Children continue to wear single piece
dresses.
Soft silk sashes are finished at the ends
with tassels.
Cheese cloth dresses are worn again
this summer.
Partisan dressmakers combine cotton
goods with silk.
Heavy box-plait ID flounces to the knee
are much worn.
Trousers under the skirt are univer-
sally worn by equestriennes.
White foulards with black polka dots
make very stylish toilets.
Surtouts have the front breadths cut
away to show the trimming on the un-
derskirt.
Silk fans with long ivory handles and
Hat borders of feathers are cheap this
summer.
Grenadine dresses often have the front
breadths entirely covered with flounces
of French lace.
Cheap satin is the best material for
| trimming cheap wooden suits. 1t Is not
so likely to fade as silk.
Bead embroidery on black net is used
to trim kid waists, or else satin pipings
and cascades of lace.
The Black Forest bows of black silk
which supersede the Alsatian, are espe.
cially becoming to fair haired girls.
Shirring is more used than at any
preyious season for the front of dress
skirts, but is now shirred horizontally
in wide clusters instead of lengthwise
as it was formerly.
Panels at the sides of skirts are nov
more often plated than plain. Th
plaits are lengthwise side plaits, ant

The frequency of stammering in the
south of France is found, on investiga-
ton, to equal twelve or thirteen cases in
every 900 of the population, while in
the eastern departments the proportion
is only one 10 that number. 1t has
been assumed that the defect was, in
many instances, stimulated to avoid
military conscription, but according to
the Abbe Petitote there are two districts
in the Bouches du Rhone where all the
Inhabitants some 1900 stammer.
He ascribes this to long-continued in
termarriages among the communities,
and to a consequent degeneracy of the
race.

many, after measuring $40 human hearts,
says that the growth of that organ is
greatest in the first and second years OF
lie. At the end of the second year it is
doubled in size, and during the next
i've years it is again doubled. Then its
growth is much slower, though from
the fifteenth to the twentieth year its
size increases two-thirds. A very slight
growth is then observed up to fifty,
when it gradually diminishes. Except

Longevity.

AT the end of series of articles on
the centenarians of various countries,
NJ. LegOyt sums up the conditions
favorable to the attainment of great
age. Among these temperance occu-
pies the first rank, all the facts that
have been collected testifying to the
agency of this. Some years ago, the
French Ministry addressed a circular to
all the Projects desiring them to insti-
tute inquiries as to the favorable cOndi-
ton, and the replies almost unanimous
" indicated great sobriety, regular
labor, Casually in the open airy daily
exercise short of fatigue, early hours,

of mind in meeting troubles. moderate

The happy influence of marriage on the
duration Of life is universally admitted,
and re-marriage does not seem to be
unfavorable. The Projects also indi-
Gated heredity as o frequent cause, and
the influence of climate is also admit
ted. This. however, is seperable with
difficulty from other causes which may
be operating simultaneously; but if all
things were otherwise equal. it would
seem that southern are less favorable
to longevity than northern climates. A
country life is doubtless favorable to
longevity; but even in large cities. and
especially in London, q certain number
of centenarians occur, and that even in
unhealthy quarters; and although q
certain amount of well-being, when
united to sobriety, and not neutralized
by political or commercial agitation,
exerts q favorable influence, yet, as the
English and French returns show, CEN
tenarians are met with in the lower
classes, and even in poor-houses. Ag-
ricultural employment is favorable to
the duration Of life; and the great. ma
jority, and almost the totally, of CEN
tenarians have followed this occupa-
ton.

DIR. FooTE in his Health Monthly for
October thus describes poison ivy: It
has three leaflets which are rhombic
ovate and variously notehed, lobed or
even entire. Its flowers are in loose,
slender axiliary panicles. The smooth
fruit is pale brown. There are two
species, one growing erect, the other
climbing. When wounded it exudes .
milky juice which becomes black upon
exposure to the air, and upon fabrics
makes an indelible stain. It creeps
over rocks and fences and ascends tho
trunks of the tallest trees.

insidious and frightfully fatal dis
ease, called "pellagra," of which
no less than ninety-seven thou
sand Italians are said to be dying al

Tins representing 1862 per thousand Of
the whole population, and in the infected
Departments, especially in Lombardy
and Venice, a higher proportion than
has ever occurred during the worst
cholera epidemic in France. The dis
ease usually runs slow course, like
consumption. Its cause is believed to
be the exclusive consumption of maize
