For Woman's Eyes.
The newest yalancss for n,antel- shelves
have large design worked only in the GEN.
ter. and, if there are curtains at each side,
n corresponding design is in the corner
nearest the fire. A design of large lilies or
rich red peonies, or sunAowers on peacock
blue plush, looks most beautiful.
Gloves are worl longer than ever this
spring. Black kid and black silk mousque-
t iire gloves are worn with colored dresses.

yine and two or three daisies on the ribbon;
between the two strips put an insertion of
hand-knit linen lace; on the edge put lace
knit in the same way, pulling it at the cor
ners so that it will lie out fiat. Of course
;orchon may be used for this, but the knit
lace is little later style.

Something About Lung Disease.
il statement was recently made in
European journal, that arsenic smoking
has been successful in the hands of some,
in restoring consumptive persons to the
fullness of flesh and to the soundness of
health. This article. in consequence of the
reckless and careless manner in which
newspapers are "scissored" up, daily be-
coming more common, has been extensively
copied, and without warning may do in
jury. 1t is fact smoking arsenic, or eating
it, will give plumpness to the flesh, and 90
will porter or cod liver oil; it will paint up
On the cheek the ruddy hue Of health. and
80 Il good brandy; it will remove short
ness Of breath with astonishing promptitude,
SO will pug OF tobacco or opium, or a
good breath of ether or laughing gas We
cave no objection at all to the arsenic treat
ment, except that as soon as the patient
ceases to use it, he dies; and if he continues
its use, he dies anyhow. only more rapidly
than he would with opium, cod liver oil,
porter or brandy. Let it not be forgotten,
that no agent is curative of consump-
ton which does not impart
vigor to the digestion, and capacity to the
lungs to use larger amount of that which
great nature has expressly provided for
their nourishment, the pure air of heaven;
and which, every educated man must
know, is the only thing in the wide universe
which can put the finishing stroke to that
which is then called blood, " the only thing
which can perfectly unload the blood, when
diseased Or impure, of that which has rem
uered it so. We conclude therefore, that
the best and safest remedies for consump-
ton are pure air, sunshine, exercise, COM

The "spirometer" is rapidly gro wing into
favor with our best physicians, particularly
as means of diagnosis of lung diseases.
There is no doubt but it's judieious use is
decidedly beneficial, and not ouly to con-
sumptives but to all persons, and particu-
larly to those who have not an opportunity
for frequent exercise in the open air, since
it brings into action that large portion oil
the lungs which the air does not reach II
