Teh Female Form.

Ladies' should carefully avoid accus-
toming themselves to those descriptions
Of machine, or braces, which are so ap-
piled as to restrain the shoulders, or to
piess heavily on any one part Of the fe-
male form; the former, In particular,
must keep up an unnatural stretch Of
those muscles which move the arms
and shoulders forward, and, of course,
must replace that plumpness Of tho up
per part Of the chest, which Is indls-
pensable to elegance o. shape, while it
forces, at the same time, the brest bone
TO protrude below, and press inward
above, impeding the free play of the
lungs, tainting the breath. and leading
directly to consumption. In the sec
ond place, IL must keep IN most un-
naturally contraction the muscles which
move the arms and shoulders back
wards, and as this contraction Is never
relieved so long as the braces are worn.
the muscles rapidly diminish in size
and strength, and, when the braces are
laid aside, the shoulders must fall for
ward for want OF support. From the
want on motion, also, and proper ex-
ercise in these muscles, the How of
blood to that part Of the chest will be
greatly diminished. and the ribs and
bones Of the chest must necessarily
suffer for the want of their natural
supply, and will lose the fine arched
form that constitutes the beauty Of the
female bust.

I-ae production OF any weii-known
substance artificialIy by the synthetical
chemist is generally viewed by the
public with opposition, until con-
vinced that it is identical with the ma
tural product. A German paper pro-
duces an Endorsement of artificial va
MILNE by Professor Meidinger, who
says it possesses undeniable advantages
over natural vanilla. The latter loses
its aroma, is unequal, and tine natural
bean only contains two per cent. of
valuable material. with ninety-eight
per cent. of worthless or even Injurious
material, of which the removal is irou-
blesome anb tedious before the pure
flavor can be obtained. In Germany
the vanilline is mixed with sugar and
put up in packages OF different strength
for different purposes. That for cho-
colate manufacturers is seventy times
as strong as good vanilla that for fam
lily use is pat up in packages equal TO
one bean, and sold at nine cents each;
that for liquor manufacturers contains
two per cent. of vanilline. Dr.Mel-
dinger speaks very highly of this arti-
fetal vanilline, which may be whole
some; but has it the delicious bouquet
of the natural bean?

Do IL Well.

Whatever you do, do it well. A job
slighted because 1t is apparently unim-
portant leads to habitual neglect, SO
that men degenerate insensib IDLY into
bad workmen.
''That is good rough job" said a
foreman in our hearing recently; and
he meant that it was a piece of work
not elegant in itself, but strongly made
and we'll put together.
Training the hand and eye to do work
well leads individuals to fern correct
habits in other respects, and a good
workman is, in most cases, a good citi-
zen. No one need hope to rise above
his present situation who suffers small
things to pass by unimproved, or who
neglects, metaphorically speaking, to
pick up q cent because it is not a dollar.
Some of the wisest lawmakers. the
best statesmen, the most gifted artists,
the most merciful judges, the most in
genious mechanics, rose from the great
mass.
A rival of certain lawyer sought to
humiliate him publicly by saying.
"You blacked my fathers boots once"
eyes," replied the lawyer unabashed,
''and did it WE'LL" And because Of
his habit of doing even mean things
well he rose to greater.
Take heart, all who toll all youths
In humble situations, all in adverse
circumstances, and those who labor un-
appreciated. II it be but to wax
thread, wax 1t wells II only to cut
bolts, make good ones: or to blow the
bellows, keep the iron hot. 1t Is atten-
tion to business that lifts the feet high
or up on the ladder.

Narcotism from Nun,egs.-The fact
that nutmegs have strong narcotic pro-
perties has long been known, but they
are In such common use as fayorite
condiment used in small quantities that
their dangerous nature when taken In
large quantity is apt to be overlooked and
forgotten, even by those who areaware
of their tendency. A physician re-
ports. in one of our medical exchanges, ,
case where a lady patient during his
absence was induced by her old woman
nurse to take nutmeg tea. One and Il
half nutmegs were used in making the
tea, and the patient drank the whole OF
the decoction during the day About
10 O'Clock at night she began to get
drowsy, and by 4 o'clock the next NOR
ming she was in 4 profound stupor. AT
10 o'clock the next morning the marco
effects of the nutmeg began to wear of.
and by P.M.she had pretty well reco-
vered. The symptoms were about
the same as those produced h
opium, and remedies given for them
were the same. Nutmeg In the guam
tity of two or three drachms has been
known to produce both stupor and de-
lirium; ard dangerous and fatal
consequences are said to have followed
its free use in India. Mace, which is
the outside covering of TIE nutmeg,
possesses essentially the same proper
ties.

Sugar aud Calomel-To the resear-
ches made by NJ. jolly appears to be
due the valuable discovery, as relating
to the changes that may take place in
the stomach, that really pure sugar
has no effect on calomel, but that many
sugars are sold in which a small por-
ton Of lime hydrato is left; they are
white, but have only undergone the
first capitalization. Further, some of
the sugars Of commerce are acid, and
the factis established that either acids
or alkalies will determine the change
OF calomel. NJ. Jolly has found that
calomel lozenges made in Paris are free
from bichloride, but 1t is known that
IN Italy several chemist have detected
1t In Iozenges: the latter might be due
fan impure sugar, showing, therefore.
the necessity Of that article being tes-
ted by pharmacists and lozenge makers.

MANAGEMENT OF HoRsEs.-Feed lib
orally, work steadily, and clean thor
oughly, is my motto in the management
OF ho-ses. The great trouble is to have
the horses rubbed dry and clean before
leaving them for the night. When
horses are worked six days in the week,
thorough grooming is absolutely essen
tial to their health. The more highly
they are fed the more important to
clean them. Most men use the curry
comb too much, and the whisk too
little. We do not insist upon it,
but believe it would pay always to
take the whole harness from the horses
when put in the stable at noon, and rub
them dry, washing the shoulders with
cold water, afterwards thoroughly dry
ing them with cloth. We doubt If
one farmer in hundred duly appre-
ciates how much he looses from having
poor horses, and in not keeping them
in vigorous health, and in condition
to do a maximum days work.

Safety from a PestiIential scourge.

Protection from the disease. not q medici-
nal agent which merely checks the paroxysms.
is the grand desideratum wherever the en-
demic scourge Of malaria prevails. Quinine
does not afford this protection. The chief
reason why Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has
won such immense popularity is that it pre-
pares the system to resis. the malarial pest.
This it does by bracing. and toning the phys
ical organism regulat ng and promoting an
equal how and distribution CT the animal
fluids, and establishing digestion ON . sound
basis. Not only is fever aud ague prevented,
but the worst types Of the disease are con-
quered by Il Such il the only Just conclu-
depce in it's favor 1t is equally sficacious In

Military Pocket HankerchieGs.

Geography is in a weak point with
the French nation. The Germans,
when they invaded France, where
found to know the country letter, and
to possess better maps Of it, than the
natives themselves. One Of the expedi-
ents now adopted for popularlzing
science in the army partakes Of the
ludicrous. The French soldiers, we
are told, have for some time had pock-
ct haudkercbiefs served out to them,
on each of which IL printed a map Of
France and its principal colonies; and

WIT AND HUMOR.

A BLIND man was begging for aims
st the church of st. Roch, whining
piteously: "Have pity upon poor
blind man with two small children
dependent upon him." Later, a gentle
man who had given him something
happened 20 disembark from train at
a suburban station, and there the first
person that he met was the same beg
gar, whining piteously: "have pity
upon poor blind man, with five chill
dren dependent upon him" ''Ha, my
FRIEND" he says, ''your wife has pre-
scnted you with tripiets has she 2"
"No, sir, no; but, you see, whereas In
Paris, where everything is SO expensive
two children are amply sufficient TO
move peoples hearts; out in the coun-
try, it takes at least five to knock the
grangers. That's why. Have pity
upon poor blind man."

How TO CURE DYsPEPsIA.-Dr. Me
hols, who has made series Of dietetic
experiments on himself, has arrived at
the conclusion that, if the stomach is
allowed to rest, any case of dyspepsia
may be cured that the diet question
was at the root of all diseases that pure
blood can only be made from pure
food, and that. If the drink of a nation
were pure and free from stimulating
qualities, and the food was also pure,
the result would be pure health.

THINNING OF FRUH.-Those who
practice this should beg as soon as
the crop is fairly set. Others may
doubt its value, but no one who grows
choice fruit for market can afford to
neglect 1t. The experience of single
season with two trees side by side will
decide the matter. Let one tree ripen
all the fruit that sets, and from the
other remove three-fourths of crop.
Keep account of the cost of thinning,
and of the returns from the fruit from

young men to compel them to come in.
Everything went lovely until the CON-

Early Birds.

A great deal has been written about
the English sparrows, and naturalists
still dispute upon their usefulness and
whether they really do kill the worms
they were brought over here to kill. 1t
does not seem to have occurred to any
one that if they do not we shall need to
revise our accepted proverbial philoso-
ply, for It surely cannot be pretended
that the sparrow is not an early bird,
and If he does not catch the worm, then
all that has been said and believed of
the early bird, from immcmorial time,
Is delusion and a snare. His earliness
really furnishes much graver indict-
ment against the sparrow than his al
legged Indifference to chronological pur-
suits. He Is the earliest bird ever
known. The nightingale stays up over
night, like the owl, and thus may be
classed among the late birds. The lark
is said to rise with the sun. But the
sparrow gets up long before the snn
shows any sign of rising and just about
the time when quiet folks prefer to be
asleep. He is more misguided even
than the summer fly, whose activity he
anticipates by several hours. And the
worst OF 1t is that he does not go about
his business Of worm-cstching with the
subdued sobriety that BELTS an early
riser, but, on the contrary, begins at
once to chatter and talk, and all his
family and his neighborsi families be-
gin also to chatter and talk, like party
Of intoxicated revelers. In plain
terms, he makes nuisance Of himself.
If he would wait till daylight, like
an hon est bird, this frivolous conduct
might be overlooked; but to break In
upon the peaceful slumbers Of a COM
munity At the very time when slumber
Is most precious, and to many persons,
most precarious, Is an outrage absolute
ly unpafdonable.
