How Women should sit.

Women who sit with their legs crossed,
Ia sew or to read, or to hold the baby, are
not aware that they are inviting serious
physical ailments; but il Is true, neverthe-
less. When IA man crosses his legs he
places the ankle OF one limb across the
knee Of the other and rests il lightly there.
A woman, more modest and restricted In
her movements. rests the upper weight Of
one limb on the upper part OF the other.
and this pressure upon the sensitive
nerves and cords, IL INDUCED in for con
tinued lengths of time, as il often done by
ladies who sew or embroider, will produce
disease. Sciatica, neuralgia and other
serious troubles frequently result from
this simple cause. The muscles and
nerves Of "a woman's leg are extremely
sensitive, and much of her whole physical
structure can become deranged IL they are
overtaxed In the name referred to-

A Laugh Producing Plant.

While the Stanley expedition wns
crossing n portion OF the Sahara
Desert, they were made acquainted
with tine peculiar properties Of a
plant known only to that region.
called by the Arabs cuili koia, or the
laughing plant. Prof. Salchi, Mt
tached to the expedition, was fortu.
nate enough to procure several fine
specimens Of this peculiar plant,
which he is at present cultiyating
with n view to practicnlexperimeuts.
The production Of laughter by ar
tihcial mems, il is thought. can BE-
reduced to "a science now that the
discovery of a plant, the properties
OF which are a direct incentive to
laughter, has been made. ANY
amount Of cnchinnation can be pro.
duccd by simply increasing or dimin.
ishing the luuglt-producing dose.
There was a time when the somno.
lent effects produced by the poppg
were not generally known, but TIE
soporiic properties Of this plant grr
now beyond cayil, and in u short
time it is expected that Prof. Salcbi
will have a crop of the laugh-Droduc.
ing plants large enough for practical
experiments. The now almost I'M
known plant will soon become n
staple article ofcommcrce, and the
principal cereal cultivated in many n

plant is of moderate SIZE, with bright

OF considerable size in the south Of
England.
In order that the circumstances of
the adventure | am about to de-
scribe may be understood, | mustex
plain at the risk of being tedious
that the citadel ofthe fortress in which
my regiment lay is defended by two
circles of dry bitches, each about 80
feet wide. The side wall of these
bitches, technically known as escarps
and counterscarps, are as was usual
in fertilization of that date, rivet-
ell with masonry and are perpendicu-
lar. The outer circle ditch is 30 feet
deep, the bottom being paved with
fiagstone. The inner ditch is 40 feet
deep and is similarly paved, so that
| need scarcely say that q fall
from the edge would be almost
certainly fatal. The regular APP
proach to the fortress is by a wide
road of gradual ascent, so contrived
as to be raked by fire from one or
other OF the bastions or outworks
throughout discourse. Itcrosses the
ditch over drawbridges, protected by
special works of great strength.
In time of war these drawbridges
would be keptraised, and would only
he lowered temporarily on urgent oc-
easions. When raised, the fortress
would be inaccessible from without,
unless scaling ladders were used to
cross the bitches. In time of peace,
however, the drawbridges are rarely
raised, a strong guard, nevertheless,
being invariably posted over them.
For the convenience OF the officers
and certain Of the residents in the
citadel there was u short cut that
might be used. This was a foot
path up the steep side OF the
cliff. through a strongly guarded
postern gate. The path led in zig
gag fashion up to the counterscarps
of the bitches, which were crossed by
light plank bridges, so designed as
to be removable with great ease in a
few minutes. None but officers quar-
tered in the citadsIand a few persons
with special permits signed by the
officer commanding the garrison
were allowed to maze use OF this
short cut, the soldiers and Others
