A Lady oi (ymdastidf. A lady phys'ian in New York writes as follows. For years I have been con vinced that the mania for gymnastie exercises, athletic devolopment, atid nluseuiar power has been prodIlctive of a vast deal of harm. Years ago the theory in vogue for gaining health was dieting, and hundreds of people dieted themselves into insanity of the grave. Now the mania. Is for exercise, and hundreds of young men, and (although It may seem to be a ridiculous state ment) young women also, are killing themselves by "exercise." Nature rebels at "knotted" muscles, and re quires the full payment of a serious pel alty whenever the folly is perpetrated of developing muscles as a business, through the swinging of dumb-bells and Indian clubs. The long walks, whlich are taken too frequently and with quite too much vimu, under the influence .f a spirit of enulation or to win a belt, are productive of far more injury than benefit. But, most of all, I want to call attention to the idea of daily bathing. It Is a simple form of suicide, lacking the element of crime, because done through ignorance, lack ing the horror, because it also lacks the crimson stales and mangled form of the ordinary suicide. Our young men are not content until they are scrubbed bald-headed by the willing barber, and look in their youth very "near of kin," indeed, to their aged grand-sires. Were it not for the exceeding tender ness and the quick rebellion raised when the whiskers are tampered with, and the fact that fashion benevolently and fortunately guards thm1, no doubt they, too, would be shampooed out of existence so ellectually a1s to leave the ''coming .man" without that, becoming adornment. The poor body Is literally scrubbed out of existence. Nature guards her outposts very jealouisly, but. she cannot do double duty in one di reetion without signal failire in soe0l other. Consequently, when tile sur face of .he body is daily denuded of the cuticle under the vigorous application of the barbarous "coarse towel," she tmtist repatir damtages at the expense of the digestion or the ntturatl 'l ei li nation of morbid uatter; some org ".an loses the harmony with Its fellows which Is necessary to i perfect, whole' Cleanl ness is not only "next to goodness," but a very.largo part of it, and it Is highly important that bathing shoud be employed as a hygenic forc; but not the shower-bath when an exhausted body is slowly waking from an unnatu- I ral sleep; nor a cold sponge when the day's duties hlve exhausted mind and body both. To change the clothing frequently, and permit a thorough ai t ing : to expose the ent ire surface of the body for a few mom,ents to the air of the room on rising and retiring; a I light brushing wit,i a soft bru9h or a I line towel, and a good bath once or twice a week, are all that an Amerlean can endure and retain health. Light exercise of those muscles called Into i play In tile dally rioutino is also dsira- t ble, but it should be calisthenIc, noti gymnastic, and should not Include a vigorous pounding of the chest. than11 which nothing cnn be worse o00 t.he lunIgs. lI1y R(11les for Living. I am1 u10 docteor 0or pihl venider, y'et 1 have a good long life and a happy one,. May I not, thierefor'e, Julst give my i shlnile rules for healthi' in 11opes that11 some1 traveler on the up o:' donan lill of life may look at them11 andl be bdnefltted by theni.

If out of order see which of the above rules you have not observed, then rub youriself all over with a towel, saturated withi salt water and well - dried anld begin upon01 tIle rpules again. VII. Look over on tile brighlt, wvhichi Is the hecaveni side of lif'e. This is far bettor than(1 a miedliine. These seveni almplle rules, good for the valh1 or invald, If r'ighltly observed, wvould save, I apprehend, a deal of pain, prolong life, and so far as health goes, make it woirth tile hiavinig. 1*rogress of Inven)tion. A western dealer has invented a de vies to prevent mlarket men01 paiminlg oil' old eggs for freshl ones. The ilnvenItion is thus descri bed: IIo proposes to air range a rubber stampll .'n the nest of' *every hIen, withl a movable date. Tils stamn p Is ar'ranged with a Ipad whieh Is saturated with indolib le Ink. WVhen the lhen lays an egg, as is vell known she kibks alightly withi he r hind leg, Ad electrhe disk is arranlged so that her .foot touches it, when the stamp turns ov.or on to the ink pad, and thlen re * volved, stamping the date 01n the egg. Tile hen theOn . goes off about her busi ness, the farmer's hired girl r'em'oves thle egg, replaces the stamp, whlehi Is ready for ahother. On eachi 'evenling, after the hen& haive retmredl to their downy roost, with the rooster, the dlate of thaltainp is changed to tile follow no id, and tihe good work goes on. 5 ~h1wy there can1 be 1n0 chelating. Y*ugo the grocery and ask for fresh edg.e, add the grocery man says hle has some eggs of tile vintage of January I,1880, f.oi hAstance. You look at ?i~'J Ln erd theire aref the figures, whieh cg'~no1E Withtehis method It is af l~iw4~t8 (04#0r9w nmay be' 1(ow to Save In the Householt A practical question, surely, in these days, and one in which many are inter ested, whether suflfeulntly so as to bone [it their finances remains to be seen. T'he firststop in saving is to go to mar ket yourself. 'Tell the grocery boy not to come again, and put on your bonnet and shawl after breakfast, and go out and buy what you need for the day. At the end of the moth your expenses 1 will have been lessened and your table improved. "How ?" By going to the mnarket you see whatever fresh fruit or vegetables are there; you can often buy a cheep piece of meat that is sweet and ood, and by cooking it in an appetiz lug way, add to your list of vegetables, inake a nice dessert, and your dinner will not have cost as much as formerly, when every day's dinner seemed alike. Atnother way to save is to give up buy 'ng at retail anything that c.an be )ought at wholesalo; then take the noney saved and put it away, as if it lid not exist. Tihe hia is a wrou one, hat economy means parsimony. One 1 )' the surest ways to save is to have 3very dish well cooked, that nothing is -o be throw n away as worthless. Were il the money saved that Is thrown out. y unseasoned vegetable,, uiierdone r overdone meats, burned cakes ai'di hkes, scorched oatmeal alid rice, many lollars would be added to the savings )f the house. You say, "low can I elp it?'' If you cannot all'ord at cook, iee to these thlings yourself. Money is I vasted in little things more than in cx tensive articlc of food, and if money i s an Item to you, It is worth a little rouble. A fourth way to save money t s to buy only the healthiest and best 1 -lghtly made, fr"sh fruits and vegetables lishes. By setting before your family Cood neats, well cooked, good bread, ,buy will be healthy and save you a ioctor's bill of two or more dollars a risit. 'Time as well as money is saved 3y having a bill of fare for each day in ho wcck, to be varied by times and esleasons. This saves the trouble of think ng what to have next day. Another vay to save is by knowing just how to ise all that is left I roin to-day's din ner. A French cook will make a bountiful tid enjoyable dinner of what others vould throw away. Why should not ve do as well? One of th'lo-rgest out ets to a family's income is by tea or oi1''e. Aside from the actual expense >f the articles themselves, tihey necessi ate an increased milk bill, and the Item I f sugar, which alone is $50 a year. If t mty family really wishes to economize 1 et them try these rules a year, and tell is if they are disappotited. Arirf;icial Iee.--Experiments in artill yial protliutiont of ice have been made t vilin a few yeairs, in Europe andl imeriea, which have resulted, filially, n developing a process, or processes, >y which a very superior article is now nade. In New Orleans artificial ice is 1 nade, which, aside from its excellence t s a commodity of natural ice, is manu- t act'ired at such reduced costs ts to dis- s >ense with the shipment of natural ice I o that market i it large (egree. At i he Louisiana le Works In New Orleans I ni imiproved method ia now in use for I he miaufact,ure of ice. Ini a strong ron cooler a given quantit.y of liquid I imnmnila Is inltr'oduiced; anid by' thie neans of a slew fire the ammonia gas I s held inm solution in the water, and ~onveyedl into a series of Iron wvornils < vhich are* surrounded by a constant uirrent of water. TIhe gas, running brouigh tihe worms, becomes liquelledt >y the action of tihe running water and he pressure of tihe boiler, and flows nto a receiver. From the latter the iquetled gas flows into a series of< vorms, whieh constitute the ref'rigera-1 or or freezing bath, wvhere, by a rapidi ivaporation. extreme cold is p)roduced. i'o uilt.ilize this cold, the iron worms ire surrouinded by a strong solutionl of1 lommIfon salt, whiichi absorbs mall the cold >rodued in the worms. Placed In hie spaces'betwecen the worms are sue )ended forms, or moi.ids, of any 8ize lesired, fill with puire water, This wvater immi ( ately absorbs the cold prom the salt bath, and tihe reesilt is the f'ormnation of ice. It has been ihemonistratedl that other cani be mlade to evap)orize so speeditly as to iprodulce intense cold, and if, when coy ered with water, its evaporation be as sisted, It will escape so qluickly as to lower the temperature of the water to freezing point. lIenee ether is often used in p)reparing freezing mixtures; and a machine has recently been con strucetedi for making Ice by means of tile remarkable property above alluded to. [Tle apparatus as described consists of ani engine and11 air-pump, combined on the same bed-plate, a refrigerator, andl ether condenser, a circlamtinlg pump, and one or more iee-boxes accordilng to the quality required-a steam engine sulplying the motive power. Th'le two inlet passaiges of the air pump dnre con neted by a copper pipe tnhat places thlem In communieation withl the reigerater, which is a felt-covered vessel of cylin dricai shape, the tubes being made of copper and riveted to brass-end lates, The two outwaird valves Onl the other' side1 of tile altr pump11 commuinicate with the ether conldenser. The wthole is in moersed in a wooden tank, thlroughm wvhlch a stioeam of wvater constantly passes for cooling and conldenlsing the ether vap)or. A Yvacuumil is maintained by the air pump In the refr igorator, cv aiporizing tihe ether at a low tempera tutre. Th'is operation causes an absorp tion of heat, which reduces the temper ture of a strong brinie that is made to elicculate thlrouigh the tubes and ice box. The latter is a tank of red (heal, vairnish ed in:side, with partitions wvhiith holes in them to allow a slow cIrrenlatein of tile brIne. Zine moulds of different id(ths, according to time shapes of the bloeka of ice regnired, are tilled with p~ure water and suspendl(ed between tihe partitionis. -Cannes mourns for tihe Czarina, who spent $2,500,000 during her stay thlere.

CIALif AND WATERn IN 21LK.-Tl dtily city papers often call attention I the quality of milk furnished to cit oustotners. .Ticere is abundant reaso for doing this, and they cannot to frequontty insist, that milk mtuAt i furnisheo+ just as it comes from th now. But these articles lose much < their force by implying, indeed som f ti'em directly masserting, that a mb bure of chalk and water is served I place of milk. This is absurd. Th nost skilled manipulator can make n nixture of any form of chalk, that wl )e 1to more dense than ordinary mill from which the chalk, will not coni pletely settle, upon standing for a fel tours. We doubt if there was ever pilnt of milk sold in New Yosk city I wvhich chalk was used as an adulterti lon. Inl London milk and other Adul itlons were carried to such an extent hat Parliament had the matter In vestf Cated some years ago. Doctor Iassal vho was oflicially conneuted with thes xumilnationts, nmd has probably ex imnined more samples of milk than ani >ther person, says of chalk and starel i milk, while he admits that they ma )e rarely used, that "It has not hap )ened to ourselves to m'eet these sn! itances lI milk.'' Wanklyn, also o [.onhdon, in the most recent workon th 'Analysis of Milk," says nothin; tbout the occurrence of chalk. 'Tih 'act Is, the most serious adulteration o ullk is with water. Besides the addi ton of water, milk is impoverished b he abstraction of cream..
