New York Times's Review Of DR.. Hammond's stLal y
Here is a paragraph descriptive of Theodosia
and her wholesomeuess. Theodosia makes her
appearance of morning:
Perhaps there is no better test of woman s.
health and beauty than her appearance when she pre-
sents herself at early breakfast She is then more
nature made her than at any other period Of the
day. when art has been brought in with a view of
heightening her charms. If she has slept WELL il
argues to some extent sound nervous system, and
the effect is IN the brightness of her eyes and the
tone possessed by the muscles Of the face and neck
= Her intelligence is then at its. maximum and
she feels the mental rocessness that is SO generally
the result of sound healthy Sleep and that IS only
natural elation of the emotions pleasant doubtless
for her to exhibit but far pleasant to those to
whom it is manifested"
The unhealthy woman at breakfast DR.. Ham
mond dismisses as follows: "Her expression is
indicative of the discomfort she has undergone
during the night, her movements are either pain
fully slow or aggravatingly brusque, her intel
lect,shoWs stupidity, her emotions are torpid
her perceptions dull There
is no better test of woman's health than her
ability to eat hearty breakfast and it might
almost be said that her physical beauty is in d.
rect proportion to the amount of beefsteak or
mutton chops she can put into herself at this
meal. Certainly, pretty women can always eat
hearty breakfast There can be no doubt but
that DR.. Hammond is an expert

the tariff has seldom been disputed. except in the

the tariff act null and void, The tariff question

was seen to be busy, with his face close
down to his paper, and his pen running
rapidly from left to right across his
sheet, no one around the office had the
hardihood to speak to him. But this
colorcd gentleman marched straight up
to his elbow, and, with large gold
headed cane under his arm, and fine
broadcloth coat buttoncd close around
his breast, he broke right in:

Something about Colds.

This is about the season of the yeai
when colds seize unsuspecting people,
and bring in their train very lliad Of
woes.
You leave home some bright sunshiny
morning, and find out, when you are
fairly started, that the sunshine is hol-
low trcachery, that bitter east wind is
ravcning all round, and that your lungs
have been stabbed through and through
by the blast beforey you had hardly found
it out.
A cold caught about this season ought
to be swiftly dealt with, or it may run
on and take months to shake it off.
A day and nights home nursing will
often effect n cure, which, II month after
ward, may cost good round doctors
bill.
Never neglect cold. The attack may
not seem severe, but cold is cold, and
therefore an enemy TO be looked after
with the greatest watchfulness.
There is no doubt that people wilfully
put themselves into positions which
court attack. Thin-soled shoes, thin
dresses, standing about in draughty
passages; these, and similar other follics,
all add to the number of colds which,
once contracted, take time and money
to break up.
If we could only trace back cases of
serious illness to their origin, colds
would be found to be the initial trouble
in countless cases.

F1ying.Fish.


In the sea there are three flyers that
really, from the extent of their flights,
deserve the name. Those Of our read
ers who have been at sea, especially IL
the South, may have seen the common
Hying-fsb, with its blue-and-silver body
and lace-like, sheeny wings. From the
crest Of blue wave they dart, singly
or in focks, huttering along, rising and
falling, turning in curves, and return
ing to the water with splash-per
haps to fall victim to some wathiul
bonito (or dolphin that has been closely
following them beneath the water
These privateers of the sea are then
greatest enemies, as they rise in the all
following them under water, and emerg.
ing Just in time to catch the luckless
flyers as they descend. The dolphins
will take great leaps of twenty or thirty
feet in following the poor hying-fsh,
which, Notwithstanding their long
wings and wonderful powers, often fall
victims to their tireless pursuers. They
frequently fly aboard vessels at night,
perhaps attracted by the lights, or, it
may be, caught up by the wind from the
crest Of some curling wave, and carried
high in air against the sails.
The gurnard, though it has also long,
wing-like fins, presents otherwise a
totally-dillerent appearance. Its head
is incloscd in a bony armor, from which
project two sharp spincs. Some of
these fish are Of rich pink color, while
others are notified with red, yellow and
blue, and as they fly along over the
water, and the sunlight falls upon
their glittering scales, they seem to
glow with a golden luster. With such
hard heads, it will not he surprising in
formation that they are disagreeablo
fellows to come in contact with; ut
least so thought sailor who was
standing at dusk upon the quarterback
Of vessel, near one Of the West India
islands. Suddenly he found himself
lying upon his back, Knocked over by q
monster gurnard that, with score of
others, had darted from the water, this
one striking the man fairly in the fore
head. The gurnards are also chased by
dolphins, and they are frequently seen
to rise in schools, to escape from the
larger fish, while lowering above them
are watchful gulls and man-of-war
birds, ready to steal them from the
jaws Of their enemies Of the sea.
In company with these hying-lish
may often be seen curious white bodies,
with long arms and black eyes. They
are llying-squids, members of the cut
tle-fish family, and the famous bait Of
the Newfoundland cod-iishcrmen. On
the banks they are often seen in vast
shoals, and during storms tons of them
are thrown upon the shore When
darling from wave to wave, they re-
semblc silvcry arrows, often rising and
boarding ships in their hcadlong flight.
SO valuable are they for bait, that 400
or 800 vessels at st. Pierre are engaged
in catching them by means Of jiggers.
Many Of the squid family leave the
water when pursued. Even the largest
of them, often 40 or 80 feet long,
have been seen to rise ten or fifteen
feet in the air, and sail away as if pro-
PEELED by some mysterious force, their
hdeous arms dripping and glistening.
They are certainly the largest and
strangest of the flyers without wings
