The Noonday Hour.

The human system, taking in all its parts, U a very wonderful self-governing, and at the same time, dependent maehipe J n order to keep the machine in good running order—and we are using the word machine in the highest sense—ft must have food and rest. All experiments that have been tried to test the results of the absence of food upon the animal system have beenended, if carried to their tallest extent, in the same manner with that so often quoted experiment in horse keeping, in which, as related by the owner: “Just as I got him so he could get along on one straw a day he died.’’ The system will assert its demands for food is the severe pangs of hunger, and the lack of rest will make itself known in involuntary sleep. Out of these necessities of the case there has grown the com-mon-eense custom of “faking a nooning” of an hour or so in the middle of the day, in which the system is replenished with food, and the nerves and muscles refreshed by a period of inactivity. A Spanish-American town is in the mid-day as quiet as one in New England on the sabbath. One from the North in visiting such countries is apt to look upon the people as indolent, bathe soon falls in with the custom, and finds that the sfesta, as the noon-day nap is called, and which is taken by the richest and poorest alike, is not a manifestation of lariness, a mere habit, but a wise compliance with the demands of the climate. The head of the family finds rest in the newspaper, and is refreshed with the knowledge of the doings of the greatest men and active world beyond the boundaries of his farm. In the hour dividing the labors of the forenoon from those of the afternoon be acquires a fund of information that keeps him abreast with the world and alive to the importance of his own calling. A little time thus taken from the toils of the day refreshes and strengthens the man and makes the whole life faller, and, therefore, noble and better. The noon hour should not be a time of thoughtless inaeti vity, but o. lelligent recreation-

How a Woman Reads.

Somebody says that one who will watch a woman read a newspaper will get some new ideas of the characteristics of the gentle sex. She takes it up hurriedly, and begins to scan it over rapidly, as though she was hunting up some particular thing; but she is not. She is merely taking in the obscure paragraphs, which, she half believes, were put in the out-of-the-way places for the sake of keeping her from seeing them. . * As she finishes each one her countenance brightens wish the comfortable reflection that she has outwitted the editor and the whole race of men, for she cherishes a vague belief that newspapers are the enemy es her sex, and editors her chief oppressors. She never reads the head-lines, and the huge telegraph heads she never sees. She is greedy for local news, and devours it with the keenest relish. Marriages and deaths are always interesting reading to her, and advertisements are exciting and stimulating. She carec but little for printed jokes, unless they reflect ridicule upon the men, and then she delights in them and never forgets them. She pays particular attention to anything enclosed in quotation marks, and considers it rather better authority than anything first-handed. The columns in whicn the editor airs his opinions, in leaded hifalutin, she rarely reads. Views are of no importance in her estimation, but facts are everything. She generally reads the poetry. She doesn’t always care for it, but she makes a practice of reading it, because she thinks she ought to. She reads stories and paragraphs indiscriminately, and believes every one of them. Finally, after she has read all she intends to, she lays the paper down with an air of disappointment, and a half contemptuous gesture, which says very plainly that she thinks all newspapers miserable failures, but is certain that if she bad a chance she could make the only perfect newspaper the world has ever seen.

Bro. Gardner Refuses an Oil Painting.

“I hez accidentally I’arned,” began the president of the Lime Kiln Club, as the meeting opened, “dat de local member of our club am makin’ up a shake purse to buy me an ile paintin’ as a present. I hope the scheme will stop short. Not dat I wouldn’t feel honored —not dat I wouldn’t feel grateful—not dat I wouldn’t ’preciate de kind motives of de givers, but kase it- would be money frown away. I lib in a humble cabin. We hev got some stuffed green chars in de parlor, and some chromoes on de wall dat cost two shillins’s apiece, but it am no place dar fur an ile paintin’. It would be just as much outer place in my cabin, and wid my surroundin’s as lace curtains ober a smoke-house winder. My green cha’rs now harmonize wid my ingrain carpet; my chromoes dean look bad longride of a plaster of paris bust of Shakspeare ; my three-dollar clock hain’t any too uorgeous for the chintz lambrequins which de ole woman made. We are only ole slavefolks up dar, but we know better dan to w’ar $7 worf of hat wid $2 worf of butes. If white women want to come down town wid a SIOO cloak on, an’ go back home to carpets full of holes an’ bakers’ bread suppers, dat’s no guide for my ole woman. If white men walk arm’ like lords, an yet owe fur last winter’s coal, dat’s no guide for me. No, gemlen, doan make up no present, nor nuffin, but keep yer change down in yer pockets, for sore froata, or a tech of fever.”

Contentment.

There are thousands so extravagant in their ideas of contentment as to-imagine that it most consist in having everything in this world turn out the way tney wish —that they are to sit down in happiness, and feel themselves so at ease on all points as to desire nothing better and nothing more. I own there are instances of some who seem to pass through the world as iff all their paths had been'strewed with rosebuds of delight; but a little experience will convince us ’tis a fatal expectation to go upon. We are “born to trouble;” and we may depend upon it whilst we live in this world we shall have it, though with intermissions ; that is, in whatever state we are, we shall find a mixture of good and evil; and therefore the true way to contentment is to know how to receive these certain vicissitudes of life, there turns of good and evil, so as neither to be exalted by the one nor overthrown by the other, but to bear ourselves towards everything which happens with such ease and indifference of mind as to hazard as little as may be. This is the true temperate climate fitted for us by nature, and in which every wise man would wish to live. —[Sterne.

A Soft Answer Turneth Away Wrath.

“Sir," roared g man put id Nebraska, striding up to a neighbor. ’‘Sir, you pre a liar.” “I am ?” exclamed the astonished neighbor, “flow do you know lam ?” “Because J know it; because I have found it out.” “How long have you been living here ?’ weeks,” Neighbor, tranquilly nodding his head: *Dh, well, probably you do know it then; I didn’t think you had been in town so long.” There was no fight. —ffawktfe. That reminds us. A Kentuckian renioved j to Council Bluffs, and one day shortly afterwards two gentlemen quarreled, and in the abatement one called the other a liar. Kentucky looked to see an immediate knockdown, and was totally Jakeu aback when the cool-headed reply came, >T bet vou $5 I'm not.— Columbia (Neb.)

Pride is better than gold, for it keepe us out of the gutter; but vanity is the gate that opens the way to failure and ruin. Pride of mind is the attribute of honest people; pride of manners is that of fools, pride of birth and tank is often the pride of dupes. Pride is Dever more offensive than when it condeecents to be civil; whereas, vanity, whenever it forgets itself, naturally assumes good humor.

A Familiar War Name.

General Henry Halleck was born at Waterville, Oneida county, N. Y., Jan. 18, 1815; graduated at West Point Military Academy July 1,1830; entered the army as second lieutenant of engineers; was in charge of fortifications in New York harbor, where he remained till 1846. In the •eme year he was sent by the government to study the principal military establishments in Europe. In 1846 he was ordered to California, where he served in various military and civil capacities, and was also director general of the New Almaden quicksilver mines. Entered upon the practice of law in San Francisco, and was president of a railroad. On the outbreak of the civil war he was appointed a general in the United States army. He directed the military operations in the West and took command in the field in the spring and early summer of 1862. In July, same year,, he was called to Washington and appointed general in-chief of all the armies V the United States, a position which he held till March 12,1864. Halleck then received the appointment of chief of staff to the army, which he held till April, 1865, when he was placed in command of the military livision of the James, his headquarters being al Richmond. In the following August he was transferred to the division of the Pacific, and in March, 1869, to that of the South, his headquarters being at Louisville. He published several works upon military and scientific topics. Died in Louisville, Ky., Jan. 9,1872.

True Economy of Life.

The true economy of human life looks at ends rather than at incidents, and adjusts expenditures to a moral scale of values. De Quincy pictures a woman sailing over the water, awakening out of sleep to find her necklace untied and one end hanging over the stream, while pearl after pearl drope from the string beyond her reach; whue she clutches at the one just falling, another drops beyond recovery. Our days drop one after another by our carlessneaa, like pearls from a string as we sail the sea of life. Prudence requires a wise husbanding of time tosee that none of these golden coins are spent for nothing. The waste of time is a more serious loss than the extravagances against which there is such acclaim. There are thousands who do nothing but lounge and carouse from morning till mid; in the httfnan hive, who consume and wkfar the'himey that honest workers wear themselves out i» making, and insult the day by their dissipation and debauch. There are tens of thousands of idle, frivolous creatures who do nothing but consume and waste and wear what honest hands accumulate, and incite others to live as useless and worthless lives as they do. Were every man and woman an honest toiler, all would have an abundance, and half of every day for recreation anSaulture. The expenditure of a few dollars in matters of taste is a small matter in comparison with the wasting of months and years by thousands who have every advantage society can offer, and exact as a right every privilege it affords.

A True Lady.

Wildness is a thing which girls cannot afford. Delicacy is a thing which cannot be lost or found. * No art can restore to the grape its bloom. Familiarity, without confidence, without regard, is destructive to all that makes woman exalting and ennobling. It is the first duty of a woman to be a lady. Good breeding is good sense. Bad manners in a woman is immorality. Awkwardness may be ineradicable. Baahfolneas is constitutional. Ignorance of etiquette is the result of circumstances. All can be condoned and not banish men or women from the amenities of their kind. But selfpossessed, unshrinking and aggressive coarseness of demeanor may be reckoned as a state’s prison offense, and certainly merits that mild form of restraint called imprisonment for life. It is a shame for women to be lectured on their manners. It is a bitter shame that they need it Do not be restrained. Do not have impulses that need restraint Do not wish to dance with the Prince unsought; feel differently. Be sure you confer honor. Carry yourself so loftily that men will look up to you for reward, not at you in rebuke. • The natural sentiment.of man toward woman is reverence. He loses a large means of grace when he is obliged to account her a being to be trained in propriety. A man’s ideal is not wounded when a woman fails in worthy wisdom; but if in grace, in tact, in sentiment, in delicacy, in kindnes, she would be found wanting, he receives an inward hurt —Gail Hamilton.

Be Warm Hearted.

Don’t let us get soured with life. It does not mend matters with us, and it makes us very disagreeable to others. If we have had misfortunes, we are not alone. The world is not all sunshine to anybody. We love the fresh, light-hearted laugh of a child, Why pof keep it ourselves Tin after years? We love the hope and faith of children. Are we any better off if we have allowed them to shp from us?

Wonders of Temperature.

Evrey <mstaww therejano mAsepersmeeof beat; hence, when we require great heat. inaßqirid stotethatit can do nothing else, and 'refoses to have any effect oa a thermometer placed in it. Jintao with steam. Although the temperature of the steam as it the spout of the kettle is just the same as that of the water, yet we know that, weight for weiAt, the steam contains more than five times the heat whieh is in the water. If, then, we require for any purpose a low temperature, we must fores some solid to become a fluid, or some fluid to become a vapor. The confectioners apply this principle in making “ieea.” The creamy preparation, placed in a metallic vessel, is immersed in broken ice mixed with salt Now it happens that, for some unknown reason, salt and ice so act upon each other as to cause the ice to liquify, but this it 1s unable to do unless it has hast: this ft abstracts from the cream, which consequently frseses. Two parts of pounded ice mixed with one of common salt can reduce the temperatnre M d<. below the freezing point of wafer: or if, instead of the salt, three parts of crystallised chloride of lime be used, so low a temperatars is produced that mercury win freeze. Yet low as we can get the temperature by these “freering” mixtures, it is nothing to the wonderfal degree of interne cold which the vaporization of some liquids can produce. There is every reason to believe that gases are in reality liquids in vapor. Many of them, by being forced into a wrought iron receiver, by means of a forcing pump, can be liquefied. Of course, when the liquid is taken out of the receiver, and re* lieved of the enormous pressure under which ft existed, it immediately endeavors to return to its gaseous state. It is in a tremendous hurry to do this, and, seeing it is unable to become a vapor without it receives a great increase of heat, it commands all the surrounding bodies to deliver up their heat in the most peremptory manner. or nitrous oxide, so condensed under a pressure of 450 lbs. on every square inch of the receiver which held the gas, and then liberated, can produce a temperature by its rapid evaporation nearly 200 deg. below the freezing-point of water; and, by causing this process to go on under the exhausted receiver of an air-pump, the greatest cold has been produced—nearly 300 deg. below the temperature of ice. But perhaps a more remarkable fact is thia: that it is possible to cause extremes of temperature to exist iu the closest juxtaposition. If some of the liquefied gas above mentioned be placed in a red-hot platinum crucible, and then a little water dropped on it, the water will turn into ice. Imagine freezing in a red.hot crucible! nay, even mercury can be made to take the solid state under similar circumstances, and frozen mercury is so cold that when held in the hand it will blister it as though ft had been a piece of red-hot iron. The reason that the liquefied gas was not instantly dissipated by the heat is the same as that which causes a drop of water to dance about on an almost red-hot plate of metal: the drop does not really touch the plate, but is surrounded by an atmosphere of vapor, upon a thin layer of which it rests. An ingenious application of this really wonderful fact has been long in use in glass-works. The mode of making British plate-glass is to blow a cylinder of glass, then cut it open and spread it out To make the cylinder even and symmetrical, the glass is blown in a wooden mould, the sides of which are wetted with water; the red-hot glass converts this into steam, which keeps the glass from burning the wood, and also from touching the water, which would at once spoil it, rendering it brittle. If possible, more wonderftil, and indeed, all but incredible, is the finding of ice over which a lava-bed has been poured centuries ago. The ice was first covered with a layer of dndera, which are bad conductors of heat, then came the molten lava; and the non-conducting power of the ashes proved sufficient to prevent the heat of the lava from melting the ice.

Only a Farmer.

“Only a farmer,” says the city fop, as he itwirls his cane with one hand and pulls his exquisitely soft mustache with the other, ana while the busy world about him wonders why he was ever created. “Only a farmer,” hisses the lawyer, whose heart would be so astonished by a single honest impulse that it would cease to throb. “Only a farmer,” whispers the banker, as he sits in his dingy office, computing the profits of his usurious practices, and speaking low and softly as if he would win confidence by pretending to be what he is not “Only a farmer,” says the railroad manager, as he prepares to levy an additional assessment upon the newly harvested crop. And this is said by these men of a man who feeds them, educates their children, pays most of the taxes, and is the dependence of the nation in every emergency where integrity, patriotism and bravery, or either of these, become a necessity. Still the friend of merit and justice cares nothing for what such men say of the farmer, for their estimate of him is powerless to harm him. He holds the power in his hands, and can exercise it in spite of any and all of them. He is nearer king of the Republic than any other man in it But what hurts is to hear him say of himself: —“I am only a farmer,” or to hear him say of his brother and neighbor;—“He is only a farmer,” as if to be a farmer was evidence of inferiority. Before us we have on excellent speech delivered upon an important subject, in one of our Western legislatures, and the letter accompanying it, says of the author: “He is only a fanner, but I think perfectly honest.” Now it is high time that farmers should cease to take their estimate of themselves from that of the fop, lawyer, banker and railroad manager, and they will never exert the influence which is legitimately theirs to command nntil they do. The best common sense we have ever known, we have found in a farmer’s head; the most careful legislators we have ever seen have been fanners; the best orators we have heard have come fresh from the farm; and so why say “He is only a farmer.” Very true, farmera are not always possessed of a polished education,* There are lawyers who .<now more of the rules of grammatical «eustruct ion than many a fanner does, and make a more polished speech, which, however, is all grammar and rhetoric, and destitute of sense. But we know hundreds of educated fools,—col-lege-trained ten pin halls wearing silk hats. And we know, too, some Qf thp liest lawJers and judges who are woefuky deficient i a common education, One of the very best judges in Illinois niuydepi the English language until it would seem that the skeletons of the dead grammarians would kick iu their coffins. Education is a good thing, and is not to lie despised, but it will not take the place of go<xl hard common sense. Jf either is wqnting, it had better be education, So far as farmers are concerned, therefore, let us have a stop to such depreciating remarks as the one gt the head of qur article, til? “Wly” Vp left °A the description, ana consider the title of K |ie is a Fanner” as proud a one as any man can bear. — Watem Hural.

America’s Industrial Supremacy.

“Every war, even a victorious war, » a national calamity.” So writes the Count Von Moltke, most suceessfol warrior. And he might have added: Tobe constantly preparing for war ia a national calamity but little inferior to actual warfere. In 1879, Europe expended tor military and naval purposes something near $800,000,000, and did no fighting. This great burden was borne chiefly by eight us warn, aa fellows: Russia, Great Britain, $153,510,000; France, $128,5W00; Germany, $101,626,000; AustroHtmgnrv, $53,074,000; Italy, $44,030,000; Spain, Turkey, Thia pvofiileaß squandering of money—which toe over taxed producers have to furnish—is unfortunately not the wboleof the blood tax upon Europe in times ot peace. The national debts of Europe, due almost entirely to past wars and preparations for ftrturo conflicts, amount to more than twenty billion dollars, theinterest of which the producers have to meet. About eighteen billions of debt stand against the eight powers above named. In commenting upon these facta, the duMriesa says that the United States comprise about the same area as the flNBt stale* of nave nearly one-fifth as many inhabitants. In all probability children now born may live to see United America equal in population to all Europe. From our continental position, any great aggressive wnr in America by American menu altogether impossible, and the prospect of great civil war is, wo are happy to believe, not less remote. Our strength is rapidly becoming so great —if it is not already so—that no foreign nations are likely to assail ns; and the aversion of our people to foreign entanglements is likely to keep us from offensive foreign wars. The natural advantages of America for diversified and prosperous industries are certainly not less than those eqjoyed by Europe; and our people are quite as capable as those of Europe of making the most of their industrial opportunities. The problem of industrial supremacy is, therefore, not hard to solve. The single advantage we enjoy in being free from the terrible war-burden of Europe, even in times of peace, and our practical exemption from risk of foreign wars, cannot foil to maintain us in our position as the most prosperous people in toe world.

Wonderful Optical Delusion.

The accompanying cut exhibits a somewhat singular optical delusion with which it is possible some of our readers may be unacquainted, though it is frequently made use of by practical builders, in arranging their course of stone for arches and other curves. If we take two pieces of card-board and cut and arrange them as Figs. 1 and 2 are here shown, it will appear to any one who looks at them that Fig. 2 is considerable larger than Fig. 1. If, again, we alter toe

relative position of the two pieces, putting 2 in the place of l,we shall find that their relative size also appears to be altered, and 1 appears larger than 2. If, however, toe one be placed so as to cover the other, they will be found exactly the same size. The deception arises thus: We can see that the right boundary line of 1 would, if extended, cut through 2; hence we fancy 1 is shorter than 2. To measure the length of the curves properly, we should take a point in the center of each. We shall then find that it is impossible for toe same perpendicular to pass through the centres of both, and that toe reason 1 does not extend to the right as far as 2, is because it is just that distance out of centre.

Wheat, Clover and Sheep.

In Great Britain the average yield of wheat is twenty-six bushels per acre against thirteen bushels in the United States. Wheat ia no longer a profitable crop in many parts of this country where the yield was very large within toe memory of men who are still young. The soil of England has been cropped as many centuries as ours has decades, and is increasing instead of diminishingin fertility. The Fngliwh have rendered continued wheat production practicable by combining this industry with growing clover and raising sheep. It is likely that we must adopt this practice or give up raising wheat except on new land, and our supply of virgin soil will soon be exhausted. Clover returns to the surface soil much more than it takes from it It derives much of its sustenance from the air. Its growth is wonderfully increased by an application of land plaster, which costs very little. The production of clover improves toe soil mechanically as well as chemically. Its roots penetrate toe sub-, soil deeper than any plow or harrow. Its foliage shades the soil and keeps it moist during very hot weather. There is no better food for sheep than clover. Sheep while feeding on clover leave their droppings scattered about where they will manure the soil to the best advantage. Winter wheat sown on a clover sod enriched by the manure of sheep will produce a vigorous growth, and ordinarily affords good pasture during several months. Where winters are mild wheat may be eaten off by sheep without injury to the crop. In met, the yield of grain is often increased by allowing sheep to feed on the foliage during a portion of toe winter months.

“If Jones undertakes to pull my ears,” laid a loud-mouthed fellow on a street corner, “he will just have his hands fall.” The srowd looked at the man’s ear and thought M> too. A Nebraska minister preached an hour and three-quarters one Sunday, and by that time the pews were about emptied, and, as the last worshipper collared his hat and slid out, the disgusted preacher asked the choir to sing “Nothing but leaves.” A victim of domestic infelicity, who is in the habit of dreaming, should never go to sleep in church, A congregation pear Quincy waa somewhat startled one Sabbath when a venerable member excitedly yelled, “Here, now! drop that skillet, old woman!” An old Scotch lady, who had no relish for modern music, was expressing her dislike for the singing of an anthem in her own church one day, when a neighbor said: “Why, that is a very old anthem, pavid sang that anthem to Squl ” To this the old lady replied: “Weel, weel, I noo for the first time understan’ why Saul threw his javelin at David when the lad sang for him,” The following story is going the rounds just now; One Sunday while a Divine was holding forth to his congregation with more than ordinary fervor, a little dog, siting in a pew near by, commenced to bark, and kept it up so long that a gentleman sitting in the nex( pew, whq appealed tube terribly annoyed, grabbed ffie qir, and holding him Up before the qssambled mql* titude, shouted, “D—n you, will you tree * preacher?” He then walked dowfi the aisle and jerked the canine, with PW?

Raccoon Oysters.

The banks of the rivers, creeks and sounds which form the ipside route between Charleston and Savannah, and in other southern localities, are lined with Urge ridges of small, bitter oysters, known’td the people of those sections as “raccoon oysters. .They accumulate with wonderful rapidity, and not nnfrequently form reefe in the channels whereon the small of waiter, and the oystere hafe taken their name from the fact that! raccoons pt such times come dowfl from the Woods io eat better thaijn for Capturing raft: cooim Id ing froift‘Vapp(»CnirJ«««« Isfand, opposite Charleston, to Edbto Island, a distance of about fifty miles,! have seen as many as four ’coons upon whose daws the oysters had foreclosed, to hold firmly until the rising tide drowns their enemy.

Chaste but not Virtuous.

A shrewd lady writer baa this to say of her own sex: “There are women wholly and entirely virtuous who are in other remen who feed and thrive upon distrust and suspicion, who gather up carefully and wito untiring seal all the bits of scandal floating about, to tarn over, add something to and send forth again in toe germinating air, like a deadly miasma, to destroy. Women who are never under any circumstances by anybody heard telling good of anyone; but who, meet them when you will, can always make you miserably uncomfortable, and doubtfiil even of a just Providence. Women need not condone or conceal the faults of their sisters to be charitable or womanly ; by simply being silent or 1 eaving unspoken opinions which can do no good and much harm, they can do themselves great credit and the sex honor. Unless a man is totally depraved and base, he will keep disgraceful tittle-tattle to himself, and shun companions where small talk is at a premium. But women who call themselves ladies, and whose position in society entitles them te be such, lend themselves to this unworthy means of killing time —to give ft no meaner name—and repeat slanders which, once gone forth, can never be recalled.” 1

The City of Lima.

A correspondent traveling in Peru says that Lima has aoout 150,000 inhabitants, and looks like an European city. It is lighted by gas, and has water works, attest cars, hacks and all the • modern improvements. The stores, nearly all owned by foreigners, are many of them magnificent. But the financial depression exists. The currency is sufficiently inflated to suit the most extravagant greenbacker. Although a silver producing country, there is no silver. The metallic currency is nickel, the largest piece being a real, onetenth of a dollar, and it is the size of our five cent nickel coin. The medio, or half real, (one twentieth of a dollar,) is only one-third the size of the real There are no silver dollars—no silver of any denomination. It has all crawled away to hide. But they have plenty of paper money. The price of paper is exorbitantly high. They have Cincinnati and St. Louis beer at $2 per bottle.

To keep nice steel work bright and* free from rust, after it has been filed and burnished, dissolve ten parts clear grains of mastic, five parts camphor, fifteen grains sandarac, and five parts elemi, in a sufficient quantity of alcohol, and apply the varnish without heat. The articles treated with this varnish will not only be preserved from rust, but their metallic luster will not be in the least dimmed by exposure to dampnemThirty years ago there was but one pottery in this country making white and yellow ware, and not a mill to grind material. All toe flint und stone required was imported from Great Britain. Now there are 800 potteries in toe United States, representing a total capital of over $6,000,000. The pottery craze resulted in toe erection of 30 new kilns in 1879. Statement from a well-known drag house:— Dr. Ball** Cough Syrup is the most popular expectorant we are selling.

Plenty of money secures leisure and buys pleasure; but will not always restore health when lost. Mr. H. Lui ay’ Suffield. 0., writes: My wife was affected with liver complaint for fifteen years and could not find any relief with the aid of all the physicians we consulted. I concluded to try the Hamburg Drops. My wife was cured, and since that day we have not seen a physician at our house.

A girl composed of eight halves is a mathematical anomaly, a scientific monstrosity. And yet, we heard one recently, within half an hour, declare she was half dead with toe heat, had laughed herself half to death at somebody’s mishap or blunder, was half crazy to know something about something else, was half tickled to death at some fiinny remark of an ape of a beau, was half mad at an escort’s presumption, and half killed by a hairpin ncratriring her neck, while all of her— two halves more was still alive, well and absurd. Girls, drop all these hyperbolical nonsensicalities that disfigure your daily walk and conversation, and be as sensible as yon are pretty and lovable.
