A mar. with a '•ork leg suffers a certain amount of incon- venience, but he loses nothing in character or in popularity, whereas a cork-legged woman is, whether justly or unjustly, under a social ban. In fact, for a woman to lose her leg is ordina- rily to lose all hope of marriage. A man who is about to marry cannot be blamed for preferring a whole wife to one partially of cork — especially as the former costs no more than the latter. A superficial thinker might, per- haps, fancy that a husband whose wife had but one original leg would save fifty per cent, in the price of ftripwl stockings and kid shoes ; but a little reflection will show that a cork leg requires just as much clothing as the usual style of leg, and hence it is not an economical contrivance. Of course, it is mean and selfish in a man to permit the presence- or absence of a mere trifle of leg to affect his ieelings towards an "stimabie woman ; but human nature is weak, and he would Iw ci Ixjld man who could calmly look forward to marrying a woman who might some morn ing interrupt him in shaving by asking — "James, would you "ihid handing me my leg?

The fdllnwing interesting extracts are from an article by Vr. M. Heard in a recent number of tlie AHjnIic Monthly un " Tlie I'hysical l''ulure of the American People " : A fact of special note is that the exceedinj; CoUl of our winters comjiels us to pass a large part of oiir time not only indoor;, but in rooms over- heated with dry air ; thus one of the bad features of our c'iniate into the hands of the other, reinforcing, extending, multiplying its capacity for evil. The high temperature and unnatural dryn( ss of our close rooms are both harmful, and are both made necessary by excessive external cold, and by the alternations of heat and cold thrt produce a sensitiveness of organization which can only fuid comfort in a somewhol liigh temperature. Dryness of the air, whether external or internal, likewise excites nervous- ness by heightening the rapidity of tlie processes of waste and repair the organism, so that we live faster than in a moist atmosphere. rationale of this action of dry- ness on living beings— for it is observed in animals as in men — is as follows : Evaporation from the surface of the body is accompanied by dissipation of heal, and by the numerous and complex vital changes of which the evolution and dissipation of heat through evaporation are the residls. In a moist atmosphere such evaporation takes place slowly, liecause the air, lieing r-lready saturated with water, cannot rapidly take up the vapor that comes from the surface of the body ; hence thisvapor accu- mulates in the form of sensible perspiration. A dry atmosphere, on the contrary, is eager and hungry for the bodily moisture and rapidly cd^sorbs it, so that it does not .-iccumulate on the surface, but passes off as insensi ble perspiration. Hence the paradox that we perspire the least when we are apparently pcrsj'iring the most ; on sultry August days our clothing is soaked, becausd the moisture of the body has no chance for ready esca|Te, and consequently the vital changes that produce the moisture are obstructed and move with corresponding slow- ness. \ day that is both moist and warm is hotter to the nerves of sensation and far more op- pressive than a far warmer day that is also dry, for the conver- sion of the fluids of the body into insensible vapor, which pro- cess talies place so ra])idly in dry air, is attended with escajie of bodily heat, wliich gives relief. Dryness of the air is the main cause of the linig-ol)served lean- ness of the .Americans as com- pared with the I'^uropeans. We are taller, thinner, lanker, than the original stock in F.ngland and (ierniany, mainly Ijecause in our dry atmosjihere we so rapid- ly evaporate ; the .animal fluid disajjpear into the arial fluids ; I cannot alTord to be calm ; for those to wl.i.m the last question is whether they shall exist or die there is no time or force for acquiring plumpness of the body. .Not how shall we live ? but can wc live at all ? is the problem that almost every American is all his life compelled to face. .Susceptibility to alcohol and tobacco is one of the most striking cha- racteristics of the many evidences of the American nervousness. We can- not bear these stimulanis and narcotics as our fathers could ; we cannot liear tliem as can the Kiiglish, or (iermans, or I'lench ; indee M. M. 1 »l 1 311 H.

The increase of the disorder l.as forced us to study it and to devise plans fur its relief. All of the above reasons apply to Northern and Eastern jior- fions of the United States, far more than the Southern States or to t'anada. In the South, par- ticularly in the Gulf States, there are not the extremes of heat and cold, nor the peculiar dry- ness of tlie air, that have been described. The Southern win- ters are mild, with little or no snow and abundance of rain and dampness, while the summers are never as intensely hot as i i the latitude of Boston and New N'ork. Throughout the year the Southern climate is both more equable and more moist than that of the North. Herein is exjilained the most interesting .-.nd suggestivefact, that function- al nervous diseases of all kinds regularly diminish in frequency and variety as we go South. ( anada has extremes of temper- ature, but more of steady cold than the States, while the air is kept moist by numerous rivers, lakes, and wide extent of forest ; it does not therefore share, to any marked degree, in the nerv- ousness of the Northern United States. .\ ( I.IM Ml' It. - -A/>pluatit. — •■ I would like to obtain a posi lion with you as cashier."

We mny rafely answei by 'a)iiii; t!iat a good diyestiim is llu- inaiu lliini'. The perfect action of tliuse or- gans by .vliicli tlie fiaiuc is nour- ished is evidently the l^rst essen- tial. A good dIgestii.M and an easy conscience - ornoconscience at all. An indilTerente to the cares of life, an in-ensibiiil;' to '.orrows and sullerings of others, the avoidance of all tliat can cause mental anguish, will be found to palliate the ruvages of time. A good inslance of this was l.udovick C'arnaro. a noble Venetian, who at the age of 36 found himself with one foot in the grave from his irregular and intemperate life. He resolved to reform, and from thenceforth he steadily abode by a diet of twelve ounces of solid I'ootl a\id fourteen of liquid daily, while keeping a constant guard against heat and cold, fatigue and grief —and every kind of excess or annoyance. He succeeded in getting his emotions so under control that at last, to use his ;..\vn confession, " neither the death of grandchildren, nor of other relatiims or friends, could ir.rike any impression on him but for a moment or two, and then it is over." He had no public cares and few private ones, with an ample patrimony. He died at about 100. He cared for no- body, and had an unfailing self- conceit. Whether the world would be any lietter, or its busi- ness conducted movir energetic- ally, if every one would adopt (Jarnaro's selHshnessis a question that some might answer in the negative.

If llie ixiies of tlie skill are close in any part of the Ixidy, that jiait is either iiiiiiatiirally loo hot or too cold. If the ciictilation is vigorous, it overheats, liecause it cannot escape through these 'scape pipes of the system. If the circulation is sluggish, if there is but little vitality, the blood of the veins stagnates, and the blood of the arteries, which carries heat and life can- not get there ; hence, the first step is keeping the feet war.n, to keep the jiores o;ien. The ]iores of the soles of the feet are much the largest in the whole body,; hence the necessity of keeping the pores of the soles of the feet always open. That can only be lione in one way. Keep the feet clean ; clean away the concretions of perspiration, oil and dust, which are always acctinuilating and sealiiig the tops of these pores, the chim- neys of the system, hermetically; I'.acli morning, before you dress, put both feet in cold water for a second or two ; they need go no deeper than the toes ; then wipe and dry. This bath ought to lie attenlied to by all jiersons of setlentary habits. Many have got rid of the discomfort of cold feel in the way described. If persons have no strength or vi- tality, this, as other methods, will fail. Red l)eing the fashionable color thiswinter the lobster-nose is going to have a chance.

" Kiain workers," remarked an English journal, "require a more lilieral supply of food, and richer food than manual labour- ers." Although the brain be.irs but a small proportion to the whole iKxIy in weight and si/.e, it receives alxnit one fifth of the blood sent by the heart into the system; Accoiding to caieful estimates and experiments it iias lx;cn ascertained that three hours of hard study wears out the body more than a whole day of severe jihysical labor. If these things are so, two things should lie borne in mind : first, that it is reasonable and right that brain laliourers should receive a higher compensation for their time thr.n manual labourers ; second, that young ])eople who are glowing physically, and also engaged in hard study, shouKl be furnished w itli a very nutritious diet. A case has l)een found in Chicago where a woman was paying a pawnbroker $58 per year for the use of $25. Th.it's about the average female idea of finance.

A moment later a clear, yellow light apjieared, issuing from what looked like the mouth of a iish, the caudal end of which was thrust into a large bronze candlestick. "Ye.s," said the naturalist, "it is a fish, and nothing else, no tube nor oil within, only the fish just as it came from the water, 'lake this |iapei and read a line, and become one of the very few who can boast that they have read by the light of a dead herring."
