Before man becomes an expert
diver he must undergo q course Of &C.
we're physical training. The atmos
pheric pressure on the surface is III.
teen pounds for every square inch Of
the body, and on the average man il
something like fifteen tons, but the
outside and inside pressure being
equal, this immense weight is unno-
ticed. AT every thirty-four feet Of
descent under water this pressure is
increased one atmosphere, or the ad-
diiional pressure Of fifteen pounds to
the square inch; and rs il is absolute.
ly necessary TO have the air pressure
in the armor fully equal to that Of 1.-THE
water, some idea can be had Of what
the diver must withstand, even at the
moderate depth Of tbirty-four feet, al.
though the inhaling Of this compressed
air in a measure relieves the unplcas.
ant sensation. When the distance is
increased TO a hundred or hundred
and fifty feet, the sensation becomes
almost unendurable-the blood starts
from the eyes, ears. mouth, and even
from the pores Of the skin, and on re.
turning to the surface extreme ex-
haustion is the result. Some men are
so constituted physically that they
can not remain under water at all.
The greatest depth that is ever at.
tanned Is one hundred and fifty feet,
and then the most experienced diver
can remain at this point but five or
six minutes without serious injury.
Divers go to this depth only to secure
articles Of great value, remaining long
enough TO attach chain or rope. At
a hundred feet an old diver can re-
main about an hour. and at fifty feet
from four to six hours, according to
the strength Of the diver.

scOrce years. during twoscore Of
which have been rich and have all
| need. do not owe a dollar, have Civ
en- my children a good education, and
when | am called away shall leave
them enough to keep the wolf from
the door. My experience has taught
me thats
/. One acre Of land, well prepared
and well titled, produced moro than
two which received only the same
amount Of labor used on one.
.. One COW, horse, mule. sheep or
hog well fed is more profitable than
two kept on the same amount necessa-
ry to keep one well.
3. One acre Of clover or grass is
worth more than two Of cotton where
no grass or clover is raised.
4. No farmer who buys oats, corn
or wheat, fodder and hay, can keep
the Sheriff from the door to the end.
.. The farmer who never reads the
papers, sneers at book farming and
improvements, always has a leaky
roof, poor stock, broken down fences,
and complains Of bad seasons.
6. The farmer who is above his
business and entrusts it to another to
manage soon has no business to attend

age is cold water is healthier, wealth

Man loves the mysterious. A cloud
less sky and the full.blown rose leave
him unmOved; but the violet which
hides its blushing beauties behind
the bush, and the moon when emerg-
ing from behind a cloud, are to him
sources Of inspiration and pleasure.
Modesty is TO merit what shade is TO
figure in painting-it gives boldness
and prominence. Nothing adds more
to female beauty than modesty. 1t
sheds around the countenance halo
Of light that is borrowed from virtue.
Bolanists have given the rosy hue
which tinges the cup Of the white rose
the name Of maiden blush. This
pure and delicate hue is the only paint
Christian virtue should use. 1t is the
richest ornament. A woman without
modosty is like a faded flower difihs-
ing an unwholesome odor, which the
prudent gardener will throw from him.
Her destiny is melancholy, for it ter.
inmates in shame and repentance.
Beauty passes like the flowers, which
bloom and die in a few hours; but
modesty gives the female charms
which supply the place Of transitory
freshness Of youth.

respectfully called TO section 4, chap

Of physicians practicing their profes

lions as the local board may consider
expedient TO prevent the outbreak
and spread Of cholera, smallpox. vel.
low fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria
and other epidemic diseases, and to
this end may bring the infected popu.
lation under prompt and proper treat
ment during premonitOry or other
stages Of disease; and they are en-
powered to 90 upon and inspect any
promises which they may believe are
in an unclean or infectious condition,
md said boards are authorized 10 en-
force tho rules and regulations of the
State Board Of Health"
Thus physicians, heads Of families,
and local boards, each in their proper
spheres, are required to take all prop.
er steps 10 prevent the spread and
even the outbreak Of disease. Five
minutes and a postal card will convey
to the local boards all the facts neces.
sary for them TO know--the name Of
patient, the locality. the age. date Of
attack, etc. This division Of labor
and minutenoss of detail has been ad.
vantageously adopted by older State
Board, and has resulted in the arrest
Of much preventable disease. A
knowledge of the existence Of these
preycniable diseases Is all that is nee.
essary to secure cooperation on the
part of physicians and the heads Of
families.
The value Of preventive meas
ures has been too long recognized by
sanitarians everywhere to be held now
rs an open question. The work done
in other States ought 10 be done here.
The State Board has set on foot
movement in the right direction, a
movement in the interest Of humanity,
aud the earnest cooperation Of every
physician in Kentucky is solicited.
The law has made this work a duty
ought it not to be a pleasure also ?

A HENorHoSE.-An intelligent
farmer living in Des MOines county,
hiss invented a henophone, modelled
on the principle Of telephone, by
which one reliable old hen, occupying
a central Office in the hennery, sits on
all the nests about the establishment,
leaving other fowls free to lay
eggs, scratch and cackle. As fast as
a new nest contains the full compli-
ment Of eggs, it is connected with the
central office by copper wire, and
the business is settled. The only
trouble about the machine is that it
sits so hard it matches out the porce-
lain nest eggs along with the others,
so that one chick in every nest is born
with glass eyes, and the farmer has
to buy and train dog to lead it
around. This makes it expensive
