Loss of Form.

After women pass middle age they lose
considerable amount of their height, not by
STOPPING, as men do, but by actual collapse,
sinking down: this is mainly to be attlibu-
ted to the perishing of the muscles that sup
port the frame In consequence of habitual
and constant pressure of corsets and depend
ence upon the artificial support by them
afforded. Every CIR! who wears corsets that
press upon these muscles and restrict the
free development of the fibres that form
them, relieving them of their natural duties
of supporting the spine, indeed incapacitat-
ing them from so doing, may feel sure she is
preparing herself to be dumpy woman. A
great pity! Failure of health among women
hen the vigor of youth passes away is but
too patent and but too commonly caused hy
this practice. Let the man who admires the
pieces of pipe that do duty for human
body picture to himself the wasted form and
the scanned skin. Most women, from long
custom of wearing the cOrsets, are really
unaware how much they are hampered aud
restricted. girl of twenty intended by
nature to be one of her finest specimens
gravely assures one that her corsets are not
tight, being exactly the same size as those
she was first put into, not perceiving her
condemnation in the fact that she has since
grown five inches in height and two in
shoulder breadth. Her corsets are not too
tight because the constant pressure has pre-
vented the natural development Of heart and
lung space. the dainty waist of the poets
is precisely that flexible slimness that is
destroyed by corsets. The form resulting
from them is not slim, but piece of pipe,
and quite as infexible.

Two writers in New York papers speak as
Yellowstone, in Chapter on Soups says:
"The trouble with the American-prepared
meat soup is that it is too greasy and thick
~ but the delicious French soups are al.
ways clear!" Writer number two under the
title, "The Woman in White" says, s'If, in
addition to the white walls, and the wife
with white stockings, l owned marble
topped table and white mantlepiece,
should robe myself in white shroud and
join the noble army of gh ,sts. What is
intended specially to be animadverted in
these columns are the greasy soup and the
white walls. These are some of the crying
evils of this day and generation. Unfortun.
ate bachelordom of this Nneteent century
of American civilization is the specially fav-
ored victim of these two terrible outrages
Glaring white walls, the fata! enemy of the
writer aud readerl And the greasy thick
soup! Ugh! Last Sunday at church, a
large white handicapped table lanothe
detestation of the presenD, was seen in all
its cold bare ugliness upon the platform,
surrounded by warm-toned carpets and
chairs, and among them it's cold uglness and
improperly was so apparent that its pres
ence there suggested the idea immediatel,
where the good taste of the ladies could bt

and to recall his patient gentleness, during
his sickness, which was very distressing.
During those suffering days his greatest
o"mfort was to lie in his fathers arms,
while he sang to him "about Jesus" After
the DOCTORS visit on the morning of the last
day of his life, he seemed to understand
that he was very i'll, aud looking very earn
estly into his fathers face, he said-"Papa,
am going to die2" Feeling that he could
not hear TO answer "yes' his father said,-
"You would like to go to Jesus. would mt
you Willie"
81 don't want to leave you, Papa" was
the trembling reply.
Again and again he asked "am going to
die2' Until at last he was told that he was
going to Heaven to live with Jesus, and
again the weak little voice said, 81 don't
want to leave you Papa"
"But, Willie, Papa will come to you in
in Heaven; will that dor"
"Yes, Papa"-and with look of content
and peace dear little Willie closed his eyes,
and never asked the hard question again.
May every one of us who have little ones
ION the other side," leave all and follow
Jesus, that we may find them again in that
happy Home
"Where the bond is never severed;-
Partings. clasping, sob and moan,
Midnight waking, twighlght weeping,
Heavy noontide,-all are done:
When the child has found its mother,
| When the mother ands the child,
| When dear families are gathered,
That were scattered on the wild:
When the love that here we lavish
| On the withering leaves of time
| Shall have fadeless flowers to fix on
| In an ever spring bright cline:
When we Hnd the JOY of loving,
| AS we never love before
Loving on, unchilled, unhindered,
| Loving once and eyermore."
Just before he was taken sick, he hat
learned verse to say at Sunday School, anC
this he repeated very often, almost his las
utterance being the words of his text.
This is fouGd in Luke 1S, 80. 1--WE hav,
left all and followed Thee"
What does it matter, that to little Willie
this meant ths leaving of loving fathe
and mother, and happy sheltered home,
inasmuch as we know that, to "follow Je
sus' means to be "where He is" MEANS

Safe on His luyii ig breast"

sTRAwBRID5E s. CLoTHIER's QUARTERLY
for Autumn, 1884, has just been received
from the publishers. Its gaily printed cover
is becoming familiar Indication that new
season is upon us. The subject selected for
frontispiece for this number will appeal to
the majority of its subscribers, being ''The
First Born" To those who already receive
this magazine, it will be superfuous to say
that the earlier part is made-up of iustiuc-
tive and interesting articles, well illustrated; !;
that being the characteristic feature of this
excellent publication; no light or frivolous
matter Of any kind is admitted to its col
umns. Turning over tie leaves we notice
that the variety of subjects in which ladies
d light, is set before them in the usual
attractive manner. To keep the nimble
fingers busy, as the evenings are growing
longer, there are articles on Decorated
Towels, Embroidered Cushions, ""Knitted
Lambrequins and Counterpanes, "Folding
Screens" "Old English Embroidery"
''How to Applique, ""home Art Novelties, :"
and several other equally fascinating topics.
The quarterly review of fashions is supple
mented by articles on "Spasonable Wraps"
"How to Dress for a Photograph" Chat,
many ladies need to learn), and "Some
Hints on Dress and Manners" A very SEN
sible and practical scheme IS given for what
is indeed a "Model Kitchen" and if we
were building, we would be more than
| tempted to take the advice. The crazy-wcrk
fever that does rot yet abate, is led with an
| ar
that "Spatter-work" is described and illus
trated. Mothers are advised how tn make
clothing for their children aid outfits for
those who have become schoolgirls. The
al ticle on "How to Paint Miniature" may
lead to good results in branch of amateur
work that is not Over-crowded. We notice
that "John's Wife, has varied her subjects,
though not her style We are glad to say; and
we will leave the reader TO find out the
departure. The kitchen page is still ably
conducted by The Caterer. Then come the
music pages, filed in this issue by a compo-
sition from the pen of Simon Hassler, the
widely known Philadelphia musician. This
ends the literary part of the Quarterly. Then
follows the portion devoted to fashions in
all the forms that an immense dry goods
house has TO offer to the buying public. It
is that part of the book that appeals most
strongly to the stay-at-home buyer, who
does not wish to be behind the times in her
apparel, and yet is unable to go to town in
person and buy. Here she will find almost
everything she needs that can be called dry
goods, illustrated, described, and priced.
Many subscribers will save the price of sew
eral years subscription upon single order
by mail.
The Quarterly is sent to any address for
one year for only fifty cents. If you have
not yet subscribed, send 15 cents for speci-
men number to the publishers, Strawbridge
& Clothier, Philadelphia.

1t will be remembered during the late
cholera scare in this country and abroad,
that the common house-fly was nstanced as
means by which the cOntagion might be car
lied from house to house. DIR. Carlos Fin
lay, Cuban physician believes he has
demonstrated that incubation yellow
fever may be made by the sting of the
Cuban day mosquito, and that the fever thus
impaired will vary in duration and intensity
in proportion to the number of punctures
and the quantity Of poison retained by the
insects sting. Que or two bites, he is led to
think, may be given which will be free from
danger and leave the subject secure against
severe attack of yellow fever.-The ques-
tion arises, what will be the process by
which the administration of the virus will
be governed.
