Plain Lectures ON Health.

If the women's colleges would add tc
their course Of study series of very
plain lectures ON the care of health, II
would be worth any amount of Anglo
Saxon literature on political economy
Nothing would make school more popu
lar than to supplement such lectures witt
strict personal care of the habits of eacl
pupil. 1t would become a "beautN
school" in the full sense Of the word, q.
celebrated for sending out young ladie:
with brilliant compilations as Harvaro
for its athletics. And why is it not as
necessary for young ladies to have then
faces chased as to have their manner,
and their grammar corrected? Now. tho
most high minded and fastidious of Lady
Syivias has a slender body, which work:
over daily not less than seven pounds OF
food and drink, or ought to, and throws
out no less than five pounds Of waste by
its great ducts, the bowels and kidneys.
and its millions of needle ducts in the
skin Really this is very terrible for dis
cussion, and | warmly agree with her
majesty Victoria in thinking stomach,
entirely unfit for mention TO ears polite.
But thousands of women are losing
beauty and dying of painful disease for
want Of knowing the full significance OF
their internal economy and the care they
owe it.-ShrIey Dare.

Painting the BabN's iace.

A letter from Paris informs US that the

little children. In the public gardens
babies of 3 years old may now be seen
whose eyebrows have been BACKED or
dyed by their senseless mothers. Other
anxious parents. distressed at the vul-
carly rudy and rustic hue OF their chill

before sending them forth to meet the
gaze and criticism Of the world. Little
c0quettes of 10 years are not permitted

A noble gentleman Of Brittany, In higf
cavor with the king. married lovely
lady. There would have been no limit &c
their happiness but that three days out Of
every week the gentleman mysteriorisly
disappeared When pressed by his wife
for an explanation he confessed that he
was BiscIaveret or werewolf, and fol-
three days in thsweek was condemned &c
assume VOLTS shape. The lady was
sore troubled ana determined TO rid her
self Of 30 Objectionable husband. Learn
ing that if The lords clothes were stoler
after the IL, .amorphosis was effected he
could not resume his human shape, she
and false cavalier who loved hei
watched him and got possession of the
castoff garments. AS from that day the
husband was no more seen she married
the cavalier.
One day the king was out hunting
when wolf that had been sore pressed
by the hounds made its way to him and
looked at him with so pitiful and human
an expression that the kings heart was
touched. lie spared it and brought it
home to his court The animal proved
gentle and tractable and became great
favorite. But one day when the false
cavalier came to court it jumped upon
him with a wild cry and bit him severely
And when some days later the wife
claimed an audience with the king the
wolf flew at her, too, and bit Oft her
nose. Swords were drawn and the wolf
would have been killed, but that wise
man counseled the prince to find out first
what could be the reason of the wolf :
grudge to the lady and her husband.
And being threatened with imprison-
ment. the lady, terrified, confessed all
she knew, and when the clothes Of her
former husband were given to the vol
lie was transformed into human shape
and the king rejoiced to recognize his OLD
favoritc. The guilty pair were igno-
miniously banished. They lived several
years and had many children, all the
girls being born without noses.--Ameri-

as if the writers found a relief from the
prosaic nature OF their work in giving
houTishes 10 certain letters. Firm, de

on pen when writing, and to make
strokes hard and thick. On the con-
trary, people who are not sure of them

press unevenly, and with anxious look

are apt to be overworked they are al.
ways in haste and always forget to cross

They are also apt to run the last few
