Fresh Air as Source of Health.


American women of all classes are, says
Journal of Health, as rule sinfully negli-
gent of some of the duties which pertain to
health, especially exercise in the open air.
The excuse that their many cares engross
them, and that they, in consequence, have
but little opportunity for leaving their homes,
is scarcely sufficient. The number who act
ually cannot enjoy each day an hours outing
must be small indeed, even among the class
forced to work the hardest Not only do
many women fail in this respect in their
duty to themselves, but their young chill
dren suffer in consequence of the same neg
lect. From one weeks end to another dur
ing the winter not few of them keep
their little ones in overheated rooms, If not
huddled around the kitchen stove, and the re-
suit is we find them, as spring approaches,
weak, puny and ailing. In such families
colds, coughs, sore Threats and the Like are
common affections. There is scarcely a day
during the coolest season when even the baby
cannot be safely taken out Of doors. Mothers
should understand that upon the daily enjoy
ment of fresh and open air depends, in a great
degree, the health of their little ones, as well
as themselves; it is, in fact, absolutely indis-
pensable to the well being of all

A Noiseless Clock for the Sick Room

A recent French invention that will be
welcomed by nervous invalids the world over,
if it prove successful, is a noiseless clock, the
principle of which is described as follows: In
place of the usual pendulum, the hands are
set in motion by the unrolling of chain, the
end of which is fastened to a buoy floating in
a tank of liquid The fluid escapes at uni
form rate, and can be utilized to feed lamp
wick, thus giving the apparatus the double
character of clock and lamp. When the
lamp is lighted the necessary diminution of
the liquid takes place by combustion, at other
times by carefully regulated dropping.

It is an easy matter for the Photographic
amateur to produce distorted portraits, SINH

described by La Nature as follows:
A full length picture is taken in the usual

and without any accessories. From this
negative positive on glass is made by placing
it in printing frame against a sensitive
glass plate, and exposing to the light of a

Some New Uses Of Ether-The Habit Of
Ether Drinking and Its Fatal Effect.
Ono or two new uses Of ether nave lately
come into notice. ORA Henoque and Fridel.
OF Paris, claim that tooth may DO pain
lesly extracted by spraying around the ex'
ternal ear with ether This causes an@stbe-
da Of the trigeminus, which extends to the
dental nerves and obviates the necessity OF
producing general state Of unconsc'ousnes
by inhaling gas
Another use Of ether practiced by himself
Is reported by DR.. Hare, Of the Pe4nsylvania
university, in cases where, during an@sthe-
ia (unconsciouMess produced by the use OF
ether or similar agentJ the breathing sud-
denly ceases. Dr. Hare has found that In
many cases ether freely poured upon the 40.
domen caused so great a shock by the cold
produced by it's rapid evaporation as TO IN
duce a deep inspiration, which was OFTEN
followed by the normal respiratory move
ments In such cases as these 1t has been
heretofore customary to slap the patient with
towels wet In cold water.
But this powerful drug is not always en-
ployed for such laudable purposes as those
noted above. It is claimed that the destruc-
tive habit of ether drinking is making great
progress among women
This chemical product is an ethereal spirit
Of alcohol containing that element OF alco'
hol which has the effect Of deadening pain.
Most people have had opportunities OF OBJ
serving this effect in drunken men, who suf'
fer severe hurts without feeling them, ap-
parently.
Ether, taken internally, produces feeling
Of exaltation, which is not followed by the
disagreeable after symptoms arising from
over indulgence in the crude whisky or other
spirits. Its results are slower, affecting the
mind by slow degrees and depriving the vic
tim of all moral sense "The confirmed ether
drinker," says one authority, twill murder
her own grandmother, without so much as
oualm of conscience, to get 80 cents where

ether bears strong likeness to opium, which

Brain Weights.

The study Of brain weights is interesting
because of its bearing upon the question Of
intellectually. The average human brain
weighs forty-nine or fifty ounces in the male
and about forty-fve ounces in the female.
Great brain weight is not always associated
with intellectual vigor as is shown by the
fact that an idiot is known to have had a
brain Of over sixty ounces in weight. But
Notwithstanding the evidence of such cases
as that Of the idiot referred to, great
mental power is generally associated with
q brain weight exceeding the average.
Cuvier's brain weighed sixty-four ounces;
but Gambetta's brain weighed less than the
average woman's brain, which is of course,
peculiar because of his great intellectually.
A strange problem is developed by compar-
ison of the average weight Of the male and
female brains with the minimum weight
Of each within the range of inteli-
gence The average weight Of the female
brain is about five ounces less than the aver
age weight Of mans brains. If the weight
of the brain were an infallible gauge of intel
lect the average woman would SO to speak,
have five ounces less intellect than the average
man. But the weight Of brain in man be-
low which idiocy exists is about five ounces
higher than it is in woman. This is what
presents the problem. If, say, thirty ounces
of brain in a woman saves her from idiocy
and thirty-five ounces are requisite in man.
what becomes Of nfnn's average of Rve ounces
Of brain weight in excess Of the average in
womana The conclusion seems to be that a
smaller quantity Of female brain is essential
to intellectually than Of male brain. This
is equivalent to saying that the female brain
is Of a superior quality. In contradiction Of
this the fact may be cited that in comparison
with men but few women of great intellectual
vigor have appeared in the world If this
held true woman with brain of fifty
ounces ought to be equal to man with
brain of fifty-fve ounces.

..Too Thin"


Though the phrase ''too thin," as ordinarily
used by schoolboys and others, may now be
styled vulgar, the words may be used in a
perfectly orthodox manner. Thin" is equiv
alent to transparent" easily seen through;
and, as metaphor seems to involve the aid
of veil such as the ancients call ventus tex
ills, or woven windy, which served to dis
play as much as to conceal the person. 1t is
in this sense evidently that Shakespeare used
the words in king Henry VIII," act v,
scene 2, where the king says:
You were ever good at sudden Communications,
Bishop Winchester. But know come not
To hear such f1attery now; and in my presence
They are too thin and bare to hide offenses.
That Is, "Your Communications are too
transparent to hide your offenses" Another
instance of the use Of the words may be
found in Smollett's novel Of "Peregrine
Pickle" published in 1851. When the hero
suddenly informs his lady love, Amelia, that
he is going abroad, the tears gushed into her
eyes, and she was at great pains to conceal
the cause Of her grief by observing that the
tea was so scalding hot as to make her eyes
water. This pretext," says Smollett, was
too thin to impose on her lover, or to deceive
the observations Of her friend Sophy." There
is nothing vulgar in saying that pretext is
''too thin" and this is what is meant by the
modern elliptical phrase.
