she goes to hang up clothes and gets in a

The old custom was to call young
women Miss and old women Mrs., the
age of 30 being about the dividing line,
regardless of whether they were married
or not. Elizabeth A. Kingsley writes to
the Women’a Journal that the usage was
right and ought to be revived. “It is
annoying," she says, “to be introduced
to Mrs. Brown, a silly, superficial creat
ure yet in her teenß, and the next mo
ment to be presented to Miss Williams,
who at a glance we perceive to he an in
tellectual, noble, broad-souled woman of
85 or 40, worth more than a dozen like
Mrs. Brown.”

100 much care oaanot be exercised in
putting arms around the young girls and
j to-day, and we would wish to imprests
this fact upon the minds of tha young
men who are just coming upon the stag^
: Of course men along in years
do not need advice. Tlie boys are apt
to put more force in the right arm than
they are awere of in such cases, 100 per
cent, more than they would be apt to do
in sawing wood or carrying up a scutte
of coal. They should bear in mind that
girls are too valuable to be used for de
veloping tlie muscles ns you would
gi nasium. Yon don't have to squeexs
a girl till her liver isforoed from its nor j
mal position, and she ohokes np ami :
catches her breath, to show that you i
love her. A gentle squeeze of the hand, j
the stealing of the arm around her waiat
when she is not Ipokin^^^v^^
er you love her, as you sit there in tb j |
twilight looking into the guiding-sta 1
eyes, as well as though you grabbed her
as you would a sack of wheat and hung
on like a dog to a root. Don’t make
a barrel hoop of yourself, and try to
break every stave in the girl you think
you love, and yon will not have cause
for the sorrow the poor young man in
lowa has, who meant no harm, but
lacked a governor to equalize his power.
Hug easy till you find that the patient j
will stand more, and then you con ap- J
ply the proper squeezure. Sometimes
we think there ought to be a professor
ship in our female schools for testing the
capacity of scholars for the trying ordeals
which they must pass through. If
there was suoh a professorship, and,
girls were given a ticket or certificate
showing just how much hugging would
bo good for them, it might save many
valuable lives, but we don’t know 0!
many who could hold such a professor
ship with credit. Then, if the girls wen
given certificates they might alter the
i figures aud gei more hugging than was
good for their health. The best way ii
for young men © nse their good judg
ment and then all will be well.
CONSUMPTION.
Physicians used to hold that a fata
! issue "must follow the formation of tuber
cles on the lungs. So long as tubercula
formations could be arrested, there wa
hope of a patient’s recovery ; but whei
these had planted themselves in th
lungs, their growth was inevitable an<
fatal. Bnt nature is wiser than physi
cians, and teaches those who study her
ways valuable lessons. Careful dissec
tion in recent years has brought to light
many curious facts. Foremost among
these is the certainty that consumption,
in ita tubercular form, is often oured.
A series of post-mortem examinations,
in an Edinburgh hospital, disclosed the
faot that the lungs of one-third of the
persons who died after 80 years of age
bore marks of tubercles whose growth
had been checked, and in many cases
the disease wholly cured. Part of the
lungs have even been destroyed, and the
cavities filled by the contraction and ad
hesion of the walls. In some cases
brons tissue had completely inclosed the
parts disintegrated by the disease. If
consumption is curable, as these facts
seem to indicate, scientific physicians
will never rest till they have ascertained
the most effective methods of treatment.
“ Mu. Brown, couldn’t you give me a

The habit of com

(*ei and BfJtem Beechun it is all but
universal; there are but few adults in

►ocasional whiff, rad the very streets of
/he towns and reek with opium
fumes. The praotice is there indulged
in in the open manner, and no
more stigm Apr disgrace attaches to it
ithan to smoking tobacco. Mr. Watters,
the British Consul at Ichang, made
careful inquiries last year into the origin
of the practice, and he found that it had
been indulged in for several hundred
years before either the present reigning
dynasty or foreign mwohants and their
opium were ever dreamt of. The cus
tom generations ago passed into the
family saora, and at funerals m the West
of China, among other gifts which are
transmitted into the next world, by
burning fao-similes of them in this for
the solace of the deceased, is a oosnpktte
set of opium-smoking requisites—pipe,
Lamp, needle, etc. By the poople the
habit, so far from being regarded as a
curse, is looked on as a sine qua non for
a Chinaman who wishes to maks th*
best of both worlds.

A HAWK AKIJ A RATTLESNAKE.
My musings on the ages of change
that it must have taken to mold the
sceno to its present aspect were broken
seemed to search around like a dog for
a place to suit his snakeehip, and then
stretched himself out to enjoy the
warmth. I was thinking if it was worth
while to heave a stone at the monster,
when a big shadow swept down and a
hawk nearly caught him napping, but
uot quite. The snake sprung his rattle
and coiled himself ready for attack (
while the hawk hovered around, making
a dash, now on the right and now on the
left. It was quite an interesting skir
mish, but at last the snake made a
spring and apparently failed to strike,
and, before he could recoil himself, the
hawk seized him with both talons close
behind the head—in fact, he had him on
the neck—and swept into the air, while
the snake struggled and twisted, away
up into the blue, in wide, circling
sweeps, until the struggling reptile hung
limp and lifeless, when the hawk came
to earth again, and, alighting on a
neighboring tree, made his meal on the
snake. — Arizona Globe- Democrat.

In a report as Registrar of Providenoe, j
Dr. Snow remarks : “ There is a popu- j
lax error, which wo ofti* spoken of
in the winter aeaaon, thaf clear, cold
weather is favorable to the publicfcealth.
The truth is, that in this climate severe
cold weather, if continued more than
two or three days, increases the number
of deaths as certainly as continued hot
weather, though in a different manner,
gerere cold depresses the vital feroes,
and exposure to it produces fatal results
among those persons, or classes of per
sons, whose vital force is weakened by
mj reuse. Suoh persons are the aged
and the very young, and also all who

favorable to, the spread of some of the
most fatal diseases, as small-pox, diph

Avery strange custom prevailed with
both the Greeks and the Romans of
greets carrying away with them tha
viands that remained uneaten. Martial
■ fi®* extremely witty epigram on thia j
but the drollest account of it is in tfiw
j “ Symposium ” c 4. Luoian, The party
j daisied of learned and dignified phi
; losopbers whom, of course, the author
j intends to satirize. Up to a certain
i point the remnants were fairly divided,
j but unfortunately one chicken, more
i plump than the rest, attracted the at
tention of one of iho party who had no
just claim to it. The proper owner
would not let it go, so they both tagged
at it; a general tumult ensued, and the
gneste grasped the birds by the legs
and hit each other in the face with them,
pulled boards, shouted, and pelted witii
cup*. That such scenes really took
place at the dinners given to Rnmg
clients is seriously affirmed by Juvenal
(v. 26), and in one of the satirio plays of
; JSsohylus (“Tho Ostologi”), a guest
j complains that a vessel was broken over
: his head, “by no means so fragrant ae
i a pot of spikenard.’’ Indeed it would
! be a rather curious inquiry how far
drunkenness was sottishneas or mere
excitement, for it is obvious that suoh
a term is but relative, and it is likely
enough that the Greek temperament
was easily roused to fury by a very small
amount of alcohol. Certainly, no rigid
etiquette prevented practical jokes cf a
serious kind.,'
We read in Plautus of an unfortunate
parasite having a pot full of ashes flung
at his head at dinner, for no other pur
pose than to raise a general laugh
against him. Some anecdotes are told
which ooniirm this view. One Philox
enus, a poot of Cytliera, was dining with
Dionysius. Observing a small mallet
served on his plate, but a large one on
that of tho host, he took the cooked
fish and applied it to his ear.
“What are you doing?” asked the
host. _
it was caught too young, whereas the
big fish ou your plate followed in
Nereus’ train, and knows all about him.”
The host laughed, and ordered the
fishes to be exchanged. A oertain Spar
tan was dining at a table on whioh sea
urchins were served. He took one, and,
not knowing how to manipulate it, put
it into his mouth, and crunched it shell
and all. After making wry faces over
it he exolaimed, with true Spartan
bravery:
“Filthy eating! I am not going to
turn a coward, and give you np now,
but I sha’n’t take you any more.”
INTENSE COLD.
An investigation, conducted in thft
physical laboratory of Harvard Univer
sity, has led to the discovery of the re
markable feet that intense sold can de
prive magnetized steel bars of nearly all
the magnetism which may have been
imparted to them. The intense oold
was produced by solid oarbonio aoid.
This fact has an important bearing upon
observations of the magnetic condition
of the earth taken in high latitudes ; for
what appear to be daily and yearif
changes in the earth’s magnetism may
be due in large part ro the conditions of
temperature, which affees the magnets
used in the observations. It also must
be concluded that the molecular oondir
tien of steel is changed by great cold.
NOT KISTAKBN BOZ.TTBNB9*.
It is almost impossible to err on the
side of being too polite; therefore it is
by no means mistaken politeness for a
young gentleman to lift his hat to ladies
he has known for years, and it would
eertainly be considered as very impolite
for a gentleman to eeaee lifting his hat
to a lady after she is married. Etiquette
requires that whenever and wherever a
gentleman meets a lady, even his awn
mother, or wife, or his sisters, o? his
cousins, or his aunts, he ought, as so<m
as the lady has oondesoended to recog
nize him, to lift his ha*. Moreover, U
you meet a gentleman in the street, or
other public place, with whom you are
acquainted, who is aooompanied by a
