Pretty Girls In a Wine Vat.

A resident of Italy vouches for the
following: In the vineyards near us
the girls mount ladders and clip the
rich punches, dropping them into the
baskets. With industrious workers one
day Is enough to clear an average vine
yard. When the grapes are all gathered
in they are carefully picked from the
stems for the pressing. This last pro-
cess is the same primitive, simple opera
ton that was performed by the patri-
arch Noah. The grapes are thrown in
to an enormous vat, where the juice is
trampled out of them by the bare feet.
At this stage of the vintage you may see
hundreds Of young ladies of the City of
Perug1a coming forth in groups in the
morning, beaming with pleasant ex-
element.

Cleanliness.

The part which the skin plays in the
regulation Of the bodily heat is not ade-
quately estimated. The envelope of COM
plicated structure and vital function
which covers the body, and which nature
has destined to perform large share of
the labor of health preserving, is practi-
cally thrown out of use by our habit of
loading it with clothes. It is needless to
complicate matters by allowing it to be
choked and incumbered with dirt. If
the skin Of an animal be coated with an
impervious varnisE, death must ensue. A
covering of dirt is only less inimical to
life. We are not now speaking of dirt
such as ofends the sense OF decency, of
those Accommodations of exuded matter
with which the skin must become loaded
If it is hab1tually covered and not thor
oughly cleansed. The cold bath is not q
cleaning agent. A man may battle dali :
and use his bath towel even roughly, but
remain as dirty to all practical intents as
though he eschewed cleanliness; indeed
the physical evil of dirt is more likely to
ensue, because if wholly neglected the skin
would cast of its excrementitious matter
by periodic Preparations with desquama-
t1on Of the cuticle. Nothing but a frequent
washing IN water, of at least equal tenn
perature with the skin, and soap can en-
sue healthy surface. The feet requires
especial care, and it is too much the prac-
tice to neglect them. The omission of
daily washings with soap and the wearing
of foot coverings so tight as to compress
the blood vessels and retard the circula-
ton of the blood through the extremities,
are the most common causes of cold feet.
The remedy is obvious; dress loosely and
wash trequently.-Lancet.

Sand.Sh0Wers In China,

Every year witnesses curious sano-
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 filed with o fine dust, entering
eyes, nostrils and mouth, and often
causing serious diseases Of the eye.
This dust, or sand, as the people call it,
penetrates houses. reaching even apart
ments which seem securely closed It
Is supposed to come from the great des-
ert Of Cobb, as the sand of the Sahara il
taken up by whnlwinds and carried hum
dreds Of miles away. The Chinese, while
sensitive to the personal discomfort aris-
ing from these showers, are resigned to
them from conviction that they are q
great help to agriculture. They say
that q year of numerous sand-showers Is
always q year Of large fertility. The
sand probably imparts some enriching
elements to the sol, and it also tends to
loosen the compact alluvial matter Of
the Chinese valleys. It IS possible that
these showers may be composed, Of mi
croscopic insects like similar showers
which have been noticed in the Atlantic
ocean. s5ss.
