round and taper waist, broad shoulders and
we'll developed chest 1t always was and will
be necessary to restrain, limit and correct the
growing figure. Without aid nature seldom
forms good waist. Gradual and early cor
rections, instead of violent and sudden reduc-
tion of deformity, is the way to achieve sue
cess-no evil effects can possibly ensue. In
the wearing of the corset, the degree of COM
fort with which it is borne should be the test
of utility Early care and judicious manage
ment will in every case succeed in attaining
elegance and in preserving health" This
view will give great satisfaction to the corset
makers and the ladies who wear stays, but 1T
may we'll be questioned whether stays do not
do more harm than good Perhaps it is the
abuse, rather than the proper use, which is to
be criticised and condemned.
THE POPULAR MAN WINs.-The man who
succeeds is the popular man-the person who
has hosts of acquaintances, and who does not
hesitate to ask favor, any more than he does
to do one. He cultivates his acquaintance
and blossoms out before each one. He is al
ways glad to see them, and always has smile
and pleasant word. Beyond certain ponG
he is intimate with none, knowing that man
with strong friendships is sure to have some
decided enemies, and an enmity often is most
incOnvenient The popular man knows all
|
never neglects those who fill the ranks of med
iocrity He is especially thoughtful of his ell
ders. Everything that comes to his mill is
grist. -----------
Thoro is nothing hypocritical in all this.
| The popular man is what he seems to be- lie
wishes we'll to every one, himself included,
and he would do no one an i'll turn. He wish
es no one to do him harm. His desire is to
make things pleasant to others that others may

neglect the harder work of life. If he is in
profession he studies diligently for some hours
each day, when there is no opportunity to cul-
tivate the social part of his nature, or to rem
der his relations with Others more friendly.
If he is in trade, he does not neglect to learn
his business thoroughly from the bottom up.
What he does he does well, no matter how
small it is.
Such a man is sure to command success.
lie is thorough and can be depended upon IN
purely business relations, and in his social life
he charms and attracts his acqualntances, so
that every one wants to help him. If he is
young lawyer, the elderly men, to whom he is
always deferential in manner think OF him
first when little legal business comes in their
way that will pay him well but is too small
for them. He gets the job. If he is a young
broker, spectators remember that he is good
fellow. and knowing that he is honest and cap
able, give him their commission, even in pref
erence, perhaps, to more repellant acquall-
tance who is more conveniently at hand. liz
social gathering is lacking in one member he
| is always thought of as the one to I'LL the va
can't place. Women smile on him, and his
chances of marrying well are tenfold better,
even if he is poor, than more sedate and qul-
ct man of possibly much greater force OF char
acter.
TIE Poison IN TOBACCO SNOKE.-A series
of experiments has been recently conducted
by Herr Kissling, of Bremen, with the view
of ascertaining the proportions Of nicotine and
other poisonous substances in the smoke or
cigars. His paper, in Dingler's Polyteci,nischcs
Journal. gives useful resume of the work OF
previous observers. He specifies as strongly
poisonous constituents, carb0nic oxide, sulphu-
hydrogen, prussic acid pcoline bases, and me-
otine. The first three occur, however, in
such small proportion and their volatility IS
so great that their share in the action OF to-
bacco smoke on the system may be neglected.
The picoline bases, too, are present in COM
paratively small quantity; so that the poison
Gus character of the smoke may be almost
exclusively attributed to the large proportion
of nicotine present Only small part OF the
nicotine in cigar is destroyed by the pro-
cess of smoking, and relatively large portion
passes off with the smoke. The proportion
of nicotine in the smoke depends, OF course,
essentially on the kind of tobacco but the
relative amount of nicotine which passes from
a CIGAR into smoke depends chiefly on how far
the cigar has been smoked, as the nicotine
content of the unsmoked part OF cigar IS Ill
inverse ratio to the size of this part-l'e.,
more nicotine the shorter the part Evident
ly, in burning cigar, the slowly advancing
zone of glow. drives before it the dlstillable
matters, SO that in the yet unburned portion
a constant accumulation of these takes place.
It would appear that in the case OF cigars that
are Door in nicotine, more of this substance
relatively passes into smoke than III the case
of cigars with much nicotine also, that nic-
otine, notwithstanding its high boiling point,
has remarkable volatility.-London Time
