They are such as are made up of two
parts Of equal shapes. Look carefully
at these and you will perceive that the
upper halves of the characters are a
very little smaller than the lower halves
so very little that an ordinary eye
declares them to be of one size. Now
turn the paper upside down, and with
out any careful looking you will see
that the difference In size Is very much
exaggerated; that the real top half of
the letter is very much smaller than
the bottom half 1t will be seen from
this that there is a tendency in the eye
to enlarge the upper half Of any object
upon which it looks.

Etiquette for Chinese Women.

A young girl walking in the street
must not turn her head round; nor at
home is she to glance shyly at visitors
She is to remember, moreover, that
girls who are always laughing and
talking are not esteemed; and that viz
tuous women have been honored from
the earliest times. The philosopher
Mendze grieved when he saw his moth
CT break her shuttle; the woman Tson
threw herself on q sword to save her
husbands life; the mother of 40, being
SO poor that she could not buy writing
materials, taught her son to read by
tracing characters in the sand. Wo-
men should be able to read, write and
use the counting machine, so as to be
in position to direct household. They
should read books of piety and stories
of morality in action, while avoiding
lOve-poetry, songs and anecdotes. Wo-
men should be reserved; and they are
cruelty enjoined not to occupy them
selves with other peoples affairs. Men
ought never to talk OF domestic affairs,
while woman should never talk of any
thing else. When visitor is in the
drawing-room the lady of the house
should not be heard raising her voice
in the kitchen. Women are not to
paint their faces and wear striking
colors, for the sufficient reason that II
they do men will look at them. Young
women, as well as young men, are to
be dutiful to their parents and always
in good humor, even when their father
and mother are not They are to ask
them whether they are hot or whether
they are cold; to take them food and
drink and to furnish them with new
boots and shoes. When young girl
is grown up and married to an honest
man she must not forget her parents,
and once or twice year must ask per-
mission of her husband to 60 and see
them. "From the highest authority
until the present day the rule in mar
rage has been that the husband COM
mands and the wife obeys." Virtue in
n wife consists in having an even tenn
per; and to arrive at this much must
be supported. IF the first wife has
not the happiness to give her husband
a male child he chooses person he
loves in order to have by her a son
who will perpetuate his line. 1t is nee
essary under these circumstances,
says the manual" mot to give way
to jealousy, but to live together on
friendly terms in the same house. At
present great discussions take place
between first and second wives. Out of
a hundred first wives you will hardly
find one of sweet and affable dispo-
sition. / have taken great palms,"
adds the author, sin writing this para
graph. DO not read it thoughtlessly."
II, however, he had been more thought
full himself it might have occurred to
him that the want of sweetness and If
liability which he deplores in first
wives" is the result less of character
than Of circumstances, and that 1t
would show itself equally in second
wives If they too in their turn were to
be replaced. James Gazette.

more absurd. Common salt IS the most
widely distributed substance in the
body; it exists in every fluid and in ev-
cry solid; and not only is everywhere
present, but in almost every part 1t
constitutes the largest portion of the
ash when any tissue Is burnt In par
ticular 1t Is a constant constituent OF
the blood, and 1t maintains In 1t q pro-
portion that Is almost wholly independ-
ent of the quantity that is consumed
with the food. The blood will take up
SO much and no more, however much
we may take with our food; and, on
the other hand, il none be given, the
blood parts with its natural quantity
slowly and unwillingly. Under ordi-
nary circumstances healthy man loses
daily about twelve grains by one chan
mel or the other, and, if he Is to main
tain his health. that quantity is to be
introduced. Common salt Is Of i'm

istering to the nutrition of the body,
for not only is it the chief salt in the
gastric juice, and essential for the
formation of bile, and may hence be
reasonably regarded as of high value
in digestion. but it is an important
agent in promoting the processes Of
diffusion, and therefore of absorption.
Direct experiment has shown that 1t
promotes the decomposition of the al
bumen in the body, acting probably by
increasing the activity of transmission
of fluids from cell to cell. Nothing
can demonstrate its value better than
the fact that If albumen without salt is
introduced into the intestines of an an
imal, no portion of it is absorbed, while
1t all quickly disappears If salt be add
cd. Ii any further evidence were re-
quired it could be found in the power
full instinct which impels animals to OBJ
tain salt Buffalocs will travel for miles
to reach a ''salt lick; and the value of
salt in improving the nutrition and the
aspect of horses and cattle is well
known to every farmer.
The conclusion, therefore, is obvi-
Gus that salt, being wholesome, and.
indeed, necessary, should be taken in
moderate quantities, and that absten-
ton from it is likely to be injurious. =
