health, which necessarily secures the
firm nerves and muscles, is tho surest
preventive of faintnes,. An exchange
remarks that the majority Of vigorous

painful experience without fainting,
while delicate men ard women swoon
at trifles. American yemen, who used
to faint continually-~iA crowds, at bad
news, at scenes of di,tress--now faint
comparatively seldom; md tho fact is
ascribed to their relhqishnent. for
the most part, OF the htbit of lacing, to
their increased exercise in the opon air,
and their better phyfcal conditions.

steamboats, III vouloe.

! The little steamboats, that now pity on
the Grand Canal are tho first things to
arrest the travellers attention when he re-
visits Venice. Till now, arrival at Venice
has always been something unique and
| fascinating. Dir. Russell, indeed, thought
the fascination already gone when, instead
Of stealing UP 10 the city In gondola
across the open lagoon, he was driven by
steam, and could only see the noble land.
scape OF approach as the engine slaokcned
it's rushing on the iron llne But common
place people found coed deal TO say on
the other side; and tho suddenness of the
contrast, as one stepped out Of the railway
carriage into boat to be rowed down the
untr0dden streets Of the island city, per.
haps enhanced the charm and strengthened
the impression, Lord Boaconsfed was
certainly right IN singing out tho strange
quiet of the canals as the particular quality
which made Venice unlike all other places.
But these "vapporetti dl Yenrzla" have
changed the aspect OF things They have
two courscs-One from tho railway station
to the public gardens, tho other from the
Rlalto to the Piazetta; and they run every
ten or fifteen minutes, calling at several
Intermediate stations. For tho first day
or two thcy were not popular, and their
enemies oven began TO hopo with some
confidence that they would die natural
death; but the Venetian public were &C.
duced by the convenience of them, and
now the boats are always we'll filled. b
far, then, they must bo admitted to hav
justified their existence; but 1t is pity
that they do not bear their success more
quietly. The captains seem to delight In
turning on the steam whistle az If they
wore children playing with now toy, ana

racles OF shrillDess. Mr.. Ruskln dIversl
fed tho pages of ono of TIC earlier chap
ters OF "Fors Clavige1a" by keeping count
Of the number Of whistles that proceeded
from steamer about to start for the I.do,
and he counted seven during the writing
OF one page, when he gnve up his writing
IN despair. But If he were to revisit his
old quarters OH the Grand caual now, he

at all. The steamers whistle in the ap.
proved fashion on arriving at and depart
ing from each station; they whistle as
they approach the ferries, they whistle as
often as they happen to soc " boat ahead,
and they whistle at other times in case
there might be boat ahead. Altogether
they have imported a very noisy element
into tho life Of tho canal, and one need
not be cursed with q peculiarly sensitive
nervous organization TO feel now unpleas.
