The Reason Why.
A FACT.


Great torrents poured from an inky sky
With Ssh and and roar the rain rushed by
In the granite-guarded cutters deep;
On the walk the waters slowly creep.
Plash, plash! it fell from cave and tree,
And turned the yard to tiny sea-
Wet drear and dark the lonely day,
For poor little Jack no outdoor play
He stood by the window, wistful gaze
To the heavens upturned-be hind, maze
Of blocks half built, and scattered books
Strings, tops and marbles, button hooks
II wonder why it rains!" he said
Shaking his curly, busy head
"Whyit pours all day-so hard-oh dear!"
But answered naught. Then he came quite near
II guess know!' His brown eyes CLEAN
To know the child doth really SEEM

Guess God forgot to shut the plugsr'

In this neatly printed and profusely
illustrated little volume it is shown how
among all races of man, the custom
of reforming the body has existed from
the earliest times. The Australian
savage who improves Gods handiwork by
thrusting bone ornament through the
cartilage ofthe nose; the Mosquito Indian
who perforates his lips to received similar
ornament; the races who fatten the skulls
of their new born children, act only in
compliance with "the fashion," and there
in are seen to be own brothers of the semi
civilized Chinese who cramp the feet of
female infants, and at least of the female
sex among the highest European races,
with their earrings, their high heeled
shoes their tight lacing, and other absurd
practices dictated by fashion.

give a free lecture to the ladies of Water
town, preparatory to a series, Monday at
ternoon next, January 10th, at o'clock
Subject: How to get we'll and how to
keep well.
Mrs. Felch sends us testimonials from
ladies in different portions of the state
where she has lectured and from newspa-
pers, which highly commend her lectures,
The following is from the Reedsburg Free
Press:
Mrs. Barclay Felch the present week,
is giving lectures to the ladies of this
place, at Temperance Hall. Health is
to be priced above gold, and Mrs. Felch
has happy faculty of imparting a
knowledge of the laws of )ife and health
to her class, as we learn. Many topics of
vital interest are dwelt upon and we are
pleased to know that a number of our
women are aviling themselves of the
privilege of hearing a woman speak upon
facts as they exist and of the cause and
prevention of disease To be well is to
be happy, to be sick is to be wretched,
therefore we trust Mrs. Felch, who is
among us a. lady highly recommended,
may be instrumental in accomplishing
much good here and elsewhere.
