It is a remarkable fact, and one worthy OF
note, that while we were lost, as il were in the
cnemy's country, expecting, as a matter Of
course, that Hooker with his 10000 men
would whip Lee, ] was able TO advise our
Generals, oH tie authority Of rebel official re-
ports taken from their wires, that We had been
defeated instead at Charlottesville, and must
quickly look out for our own safe retreat
We rode almost ia sight Of RichmOud-com-
plctely around Lce-aud returned safely after

weight of women's Clothes.

This is a phase of the dress ques-
tion zoo much overlooked. The
clothes worn by women are far too
heavy; and, by perversity of FASH
ion, they receive an enormous in
crement of weight at this season, in
the shape of c.oaks or mantles Of
sealskin or plush with quilted Innings.
The attention of medical practitioners
needs to be specially drawn to this
matter. chat they may demonstrate
with their female patients, and also
avoid misconception as 10 the actual
strength Of some who complain Of
fatigue in walking, which may be
mistaken for o token of weakness,
whereas it is only natural exhaustion
from carrying a bundle that few
strong men would care TO bear.
There are even worse evils than
mere fatigne consequent on the prac.
tice CT loading the body femme with
the outrageously heavy outer gar
ments now in vogue. Not only are
the ordinary movements of the legs
and arms injuriously impeded, but
the waist is encircled as with belt
or hoop, to viii, b load heavier than
a felon's Chain is attached, and the
shoulders and chest are compressed
by an additional burden. Breathing
is laboriously performed, and the
contents Of the trunk and pelvis are
thrust down with force which, il
represented in pounds, would occa-
sion considerable surprise. AS a
matter of more than curiosity, med
ical men should ask their female
patients TO ascertain precisely the
total weight Of the clothes they
: wear, indoors and out. The matter
is by no means nnimportant. Not
few of the maladies from which
women suffer acutely. and the gen.
eral weakness and depression OF the
muscular and nervous system OF
which they very commonly complain,
will be placed in an entirely new light
when the facts to which we now call
very serious attention are fully
known.

Poisons of the Toilet.

Shirley Dare says: The modern

offer you gentian and cocoa as fillips

''pick-me ups" and women will take

Foolish girls see the dead white

some creatures, who would sign
their souls away, supposing them to

and feel sure there can't be any harm
in it, for she looks lovely. and says
she never felt better in her life. But
they do not see the terrible closing
experience of such lives of folly,
which are known only to doctors and
agonized friends. Idiocy, dropsy,
are the kindest finale, but death in
some form is the penalty YOU must
all pay who begin the arsenic habit.
You hear that bismuth powders and
lotions are harmless. and they appear
so in nine cases cut of ten. Bus the
effect in the un lucky tenth case is so
much like poisoning no one can tell
the difference. But few stop to think
that the sallow. deadened complexion
left in few years by the use Of bis
muth powders and washes is pro
duced by atrophy of the skin vessels,
and is, in fact, death at the surface.

Cold Weather Rules.

Never lean with the back upon
anything that is cold.
Never begin a journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially between
the shoulder blades, well covered;
also the chest well protected. In
sleeping in cold room, establish a
habit of breathing through the nose
and never with The mouth open.
Never 60 to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, fol
unless the skin is in active condition
the cold will close the pores and
favor congestion and other diseases
After exercise Of any kind, never
ride in an open carrirge or near the
window OF car for moment; it is
angerous to nealth or even life.
When hoarse, speak as little as pos.
sib'e until the hoarseness is recov.
cred from, else the voice may be
permanently lost, Or difficulties OF
the throat produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire,
and never contiAue keeping the back
exposed to the heat after It has be-
come comfortably warm. TO do
otherwise is facilitating.

IF there is any man in the city who is par
ticularly proud of the Flood building it is
Admiral Cornelius O'Connor. A source Of.
great satisfaction to this gentleman were the
mailing facilities of the building. 1t is only
necessary to drop a letter in at the fifth story
when, in New York style" as O'Connor
saws, Fit is taken out at the ground floor by
the carrier" A gentleman in one of the
upper stories is in the habit of mailing checks
TO New Y ork every week. Some time ago hs
received telegram from New York asking
why a certain check which ought TO have
been mailed four weeks had not arrived
The local man telegraphed that the check
had been sent as usual, and fearing that
something was wrong, stopped payment
Not long afterward he was again informed
that the usual check had not appeared In
the meantime complaints were getting COM
mon in the Flood building that letters sent
from there were not delivered.
One day recently the gentlemanly sender
of checks, whose faith in the eighty foot
high mail box had never wavered, dropped
his letters in the mail box, and had the curl
osity to look into it. To his surprise the box
seemed to be full to the top. Thinking it
strange that so much mail matter should
leave the building in one day, he mentioned
the fact to some of his neighbors, and an eI-
animation was made of the attenuated pillar
post at each story, and it was found that for
the lower two stories only the box was clear
OF letters. The upper three were full. Then
tho truth dawned on the check sender An
expert was sent for, and he dropped an iron
weight into the top Of the long box. There
was & frou frou sort Of sound, and in few
seconds about 500 letters were silot into the
mail box at the foot Of the elevator ard all
over the floor. An examination Of the New
York style of mail box showed that por-
ton of the inside lining OF tire box had be-
come loose, and, projecting across the box,
had arrested one letter after smother until
they had piled up three stories high.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

His shadow fitted DER the dewy mead

Love whispered TO me once, beside the sea,
So tender sweet his accents to mine ear
My heart stood still to listen-then ali mel
Only the waves low FLASHING could hear.
One passed me, singing, in the woodland green
Such wild, glad notes ne'er chanted mortal bird !;
Long, long tracked the minstrelsy unseen
In vain-then knew it was Love heard.
Love wrapped me to his heart, one balrny night
That soft cares awoke such JOY supreme,
My soul brimmed over with her new delight;
But morning broke, it was but dream.

Whatever color there is in St. Peters
burg has the advantage of clear at
mosphere. Nothing but wood is burned
in the stoves, and the air is as free
from smoke as that of Paris; the houses
are clean; there is none of the Crime
and dirt Of London The streets, also,
Notwithstanding the execrable pave
ment, are wonderfully we'll swept
Every householder is bound to keep
the street clean before his own front
and does it to a marvel From a sani-
taly point of view st. Petersburg is
anything but an ideal city. But for
street sweeping 1t takes the prize. The
colo~ Of the houses differ greatly.
Some are white; others, including
many Of tho palaces, curious shade
Of yellow; worry few are red; the ma
Jority are Of the ordinary stucco gray.
1t is in the roof that the color comes
in IN place Of the red pantiles of
Holland and The slate of London. st.
Petersburg covers its roofs with iron,
which it paints red. green, chocolate,
as the case may be. The effect is good.
In winter all this diversity of color is
lost beneath the universal pail of
snow From the roofs the rain is CON
Quoted TO the pavement by spouts of
the most extraordinary dimensions
You could easily drop a baby down
most Of them, so immense is their
capacity, There is no system of main
drainage, and the water from the roofs
is conducted by these downcomers to
the foot paths. 1t never rained all the
time / was in town, so / missed the ex-
porience. But in a heavy downpour
Of rain the torrents from the spouts
must make the sidewalks impossible.
