I/mii Giobe-Deuioerat.] Intemperance in diet, indulgence in the excessive use of alcoholic drinks, * too little bodily exercise in the open air--these are the more important of the causes which bring on corpnlence. '•The modes in which these causes act to firing about an excessive deposit of fat - have been sufficiently indicated in the Introductory portion of this paper. As :|nuscular exercise increases the pro­ duction of flesh, inaction leads to an Excessive deposit of fat. Alcohol acta in ft manner precisely similar to that of fata, sugars, and starches. It inter- , teres with the destruction or combus­ tion of the fat-producing materials, pre­ vents them from undergoing combus­ tion, as it is more easily destroyed by Oxygen than they are. Certain dis­ eases, such as any interference with the formation or development of the red blood corpuscles, the oxygen carriers, 'increase the disposition to the deposit Of fat. The oxygen may enter the .lungs, but without these carriers it is finable to reach the tissue where com­ bustion ordinarily takes place. i:4s The dangers of corpulence are mainy - fold. All diseases accompanied by high v fever are apt to follow an unusually ma­ lignant course in fat persons. The heat developed in these affections cannot be <;£go readily lost by radiation or conduc­ tion as in the lean. The cold bath, the resold pack, and all sorts of cooling measures fail to readily induce the temperature, and the fever is, in itself, serious source of danger. The skin is constantly bathed in perspiration ©n slight exertion or when the external ,^temperature rises. Heuce skin diseases ; ire common and often intensely annoy­ ing among the corpulent. The breath­ ing is interfered with by the accumu­ lated fat, so breathlessness on exertion . Is common among them. The frequency of perspiration leaves the surface ex- r J>osed to chilling influences which cause coughs, colds, bronchitis, and pneu­ monia. The overloading of the heart - *vith fat interferes with its action, so that palpitations and sudden faintness from partial failure of this organ to do its duty are not infrequent. The extra weight that has to be carried entails muscular exhaustion on exertion such as is not felt by the thin person, The discomforts and dangers of obesity tvould fill a much larger catalogue, but it is not necesisary to enumerate them *11 here. The treatment of corpnlence must varywith the cause. No rigid rules can be framed that will serve in all cases. If there is a strong hereditary tendency to it, a radioal cure cannot be expected --only an improvement can be prom­ ised, and even this cannot always be se­ cured. The prevention of it should be Undertaken when a young person shows •"strong tendency to put on an excess­ ive amount of adipose tissue. One of the first things to be done in this direc­ tion is to regulate the diet. Immoder- ' *te indulgence at table must be rigidly forbidden, yet the food must be in sufficient amount to secure all that the body requires for its needs. No starva­ tion should be countenanced. Fatal weakness of the heart or permanent disorder of the digestion often results from irrational restrictions of diet. The temporary thinning is usually fol­ lowed by a marked increase in the cor- , pulence beyond what existed before the "Tanner plan" was adopted. A much better plan is to avoid exciting the appetite by the great variety of food. Prince Bismarck's phvsician suc­ ceeded in curing his patient by the very simple plan of making the meal consist of one kind of food, of which he should eat as much as he pleased, and no drink of any kind to be taken at meals or un­ til two hours afterward. By this means no unnatural appetite was en­ couraged, and the patient ate only what the necessities of the system really de­ manded. The diet should contain an abundance of albumen, little fat, and still less starch or sugar, when an earn­ est eflort is being made to reduce cor­ pulence or provide against its making its appearance. Some fats have to be taken, or the albuminous foods will not be digested or appropriated by the sys­ tem. If signs of disordered digestion appear, the diet must be modified from time to time by the addition of articles which are. usually forbidden. It is bettor to incur some of the prospective discomforts or even dangers of obesity than to ruin the digestion in the attempt to avoid them. . The llumors of Cork. * A writer in the Spectator gives some illustrations of Cork humor, from which we extract the following: I was once attending a country gentleman who was . believed to be in extrehiis. The doc­ tor, by way of consoling the family, said: "Well, it's a fine thing for a man to be able to die in his bed these times!" A laborer having asked his employer for a glass of whisky, it was given to him', but the master said, "Remember, every gWss you take is a nail in your coffin, Corney." "Well, your honor," Mid Corney, "maybe as ye have the hammer in yer hand, you would drive another." This, however, is not a piece of Cork wit. Curious uses of English words are made by the Cork peasantry--e. g., one told me that another was the most "insipid" drunkard in the parish, probably mean­ ing incessant. An old woman, who lately joined the League 6t the Cross, told me that "since she tnck the crass she never touched a drop of tassicated licker." When a corpse is being con­ veyed to the church-yard for burial, it is a very common expression, "Well that his journey may thrive with him." If you give a small coin in charity to a pair of old crones who hnnt in couples, and tell them to divide it, the senior will say, "I will, me darlint. May God divide the heavens wid ye." I once met a man greatly agitated coming away from a farmhouse, and asked him what was the matter. He emptied his collo­ quial pack at great length, detailing various wrongs he had received from the owner of the house; but, he said, concluding with great emphasis. "God is good; and the devil isn't bad, either." Mere words quite fail to convey the full effect of this stcry, for the speaker looked unutterable things. An old wo­ man who quite lately called at our house, said "she wanted something from the mistress to put to her skin." Translated into every-day English, this was a request for some underclothing. A certain man in the district is known by the name of "Mickey, the melted rogue." This implies that he is the essence of roguery; but how thoroughly original the expression is 1 Borrowing money is a very favorite practice with the Irish farmer; and un­ til a recent period the banks made the gratification of this taste extremely easy. A Cork car-driver lately said to his fare: "Why, sir, a while ago a farmer need only put on a 'clane' shirt and go to the bank, and he'd get what he wanted." The expectations, how- •irr . ?vm ever, of some of the borrowers were too great, as the following incident, which really occurred, very amusingly shows: A certain small farmer, whom we shall call "Tim," for convenience, some years ago called upon the man­ ager of the national bank, in a town in the Northeast of the County Cork. The following dialogue ensued: "Good morning, yer honor; I called about a little business; and though there are other banks in the town, I thought I'd give yer honor the compli­ ment. " "Well, Tim, what is the business?" "Well, yer honor, the interest in Kitty Keeffe's farm is selling off, and I want to 'rise' £800 to buy it." | "Nonsence, Tim! the interest in her farm isn't worth anything like that; but suppose I was fool enough to lend yon this money, how would von ever pav it back?" " 1 * _ "Is it pay it agin, yer honor? Nothin' aisier in life. Sure the young fellow would get it in a fortune when he mar­ ries." «' "And my I ask, Tim, what age is the young fellow?" "He's 3 years ould, yer honor." It need hardly be said that the manager did not see it; and that Tim, in spite of his wish to "give him the compliyienL" was refused the loan of the £800 A Baloon Experience. ; ' ^» "As nearly as could be judged, I was more than a mile high, and all sounds from the earth had ceased. There was a death-like silence that was simply awful. It seemed to my overstrained nerves to for bode disaster. The tick­ ing of the watch in my pocket sounded like a triphammer. I could feel the blood as it shot through the veins of my head and arms. My straw hat and the willow car snapped and cracked, being contracted by the evaporation of the moisture in them and by the fast- cooling temperature. I was compelled to breath a little quicker than usual on account of the rarity of the atmosphere. I became sensible of a loud, monoto­ nous hum in my ears, piched about on middle C of the piano, which seemed to bore into my head from each side, meeting in the center with a pop; then for an instant my head would be clear, when the same experience would be re­ peated. By throwing out small pieces of tissue paper, I saw that the balloon was still rapidly ascending. While de­ bating with myself as to the advisabil­ ity of pulling the valve-rope (I was afraid to touch 'it for fear it would break) and discharging some gas, the earth was lost sight of. and the conviction was forced upon mo that this must be the clouds! It made me dizzy to think of it. Above, below, and upon all sides was a dense, damp, chilly fog. Upon looking closer, large drops of rain could be seen, silently falling down out of sight into what seemed bot­ tomless space. "I was alone, a mile from the earth, in the midst of a rain-cloud and, the silence of the grave. Moreover, I had sole charge of the balloon; if it had not been for this fact I could have taken a little comfort, as I had no con­ fidence in my ability to manage it. A rainstorm upon earth is accompanied by noise; the patter of the rain upon the houses, trees, and walks always attends the storm; while hero, although the drops were large, they could not be heard falling upon the balloou or its belongings. Silence reigned supreme. The quiet spoken of by Dr. Kane and other Arctic explorers as existing in the northern regions, was a hubbub beside this place. More tissue-paper was thrown out; seeing that it seemed to ascend, I knew that the apparatus was slowly descending, being brought down by the weight of rain upon it. Soon the earth was in view. How peaceful and quiet it looked! Immediately the whistling of railroad trains could be heard. "Now mountains could be distin­ guished from valleys, and a cawing of frightened crows and the shouting of men could be heard. I passed immedi­ ately over the Tallcott Mountain tower, where there were some two hundred people enjoying the day. I could plainly hear the blowing of a horn. As the balloon slowly descended men could be seen running from all sides towards the place of landing. Now the hum of insects could be heard, and the grapnel, with a hundred feet of rope attached, was thrown out; it soon struck the ground, and dragged lazily along through the turf and over the stones without getting a secure hold. I ap­ proached a man weighing 300 pounds, who was sitting upon a stone wall all out of breath from running. Without the formality of an introduction I asked him to 'catch on to that anchor and stop the business.' With a woe-begone ok " look upon his honest face and an ominous shake of the head he replied: 'It's no use, young fellow; I can't work my bellows.' But as the rope twitched along near him, he fell upon it, and my journey was ended."--The Century. Tacclanation fur Consumption. The chief disease of temperate clim­ ates being consumption, any means which will check its ravages must be hailed with joy and gratitude by a large part of the human race. In .France is now projected an experimental inquiry into the possibility of finding some method of attenuating the supposed virus of consumption so as to make in­ oculation therewith practically useful against the disease, either as a prevent­ ive measure, like vaccination against small-pox, or as a means of cure, like Pasteur's inoculation in hydrophobia. Although the chances of success are re­ mote, the investigation is approved by eminent scientific men, and a consider­ able sum has been subscribed toward defraying the expenses. Reward of Industry.

CLAIBYOYAHCE IN DiDIASA Ge». l*w Wallace's Expcdence la a Tailor Shop--It Made a Good Story. | All who have read Gen. Wallace's "Fair God" will remember the scene in the underground chamber between the old priest and the little girl. The child is made the instrument through which the fair god's coming is an­ nounced, she going into a trance under the priest's influence at the time. Sev­ eral months ago the General and a number of gentlemen were discussing the supernatural and were relating per­ sonal experiences says the Indianapolis Sentinel, when some one asked Gen. Wallace where he got the idea for the incident mentioned. "I was practicing law in a wwmlj country town in this State a number of years ago," said the General, "and was at work* upon the novel during odd mo­ ments. I had never paid any attention to clairvoyance and that sort' of thing, and scoffed at all who believed that man may have knowledge of what per­ tains to the other worjd. There was a tailor living in the town who was ex­ ceedingly superstitious. He had fre­ quently invited me to witness some of his manifestations, but I had always re­ fused. One night as I was walking toward home after having been engaged in some work at my office, I saw a light in the tailor's shop window and some­ thing prompted me to stop. My friend and a boy apprentice were at work when I entered. The tailor gave me a chair and we began talking over mes­ meric influence and kindred matters. After a while he asked me if I would care to hear some wrappings. I told him to suggest something else, as any­ body could make wrappings; He then suggested clairvoyance, and I told him to go ahead. Now at this point it is necessary to say that for the following day I had made a business engagement with a farmer who lived near town in an old- fashioned log house. I had driven past the place a number of times and was familiar with the house and the road tot it. The tailor proceeded with his ar­ rangements by placing the boy on the bench with his face to the wall. The man turned down the lamps in the shop and directed his attention to the little fellow, making passes with his .hands around and above him. In a few min­ utes the boy, who was pale and sickly in appearance, went into a sort of trance, and ihe-taiies-tftld me to take hold of one of the' little chap's hands and fix my mind on some incident in my life or on some place that I had vis­ ited. The farm house I alluded to a moment ago came to my mind at once, and I thought ot it instantly. Almost immediately the boy's lips began mov­ ing, and in a loose, disconnected way he described the log house, the roads lead­ ing to it, and many little details as they passed .through> zky mind. But after following me for a time he stopped, and then began speaking something of his own volition, or rather that of which I was not thinking. He said that it w*s night and that the house was dark. And then he said that the door opened and a man came out carrying a lamp in his hand. He walked out to the hen house and opened the door while he looked into it, then closed the door, returned to the house, and all was dark again. At this point the boy seemed to be growing very weak and I told the tailor to rouse him, which he did by waving his hands in the air. I left the shop in a short time, noting the time, which was about 10 o'clock. Next day my farmer client called promptly at the hour which had been set. We went through the business which was to be attended to, and as he started up to go I asked him where he had been at 10 o'clock the previous night. He was surprised at the ques­ tion, but answered that he supposed he was asleep. I told him to think about it for a minute. • " Oh, yes," he said, presently, '*1 re­ member now. There was an animal of some kind causing a disturbance in my hen house, and I got up just about that time to see what the matter was. Everything had quieted down when I got there, and I returned to the house." "«T told the story to my client who was greatly interested," the General said, in conclusion, "and the incident made snch an impression upon my mind that I wove it into the story," Realism in Fiction. "It requires a great deal more imagination to write a realistic novel than to write a fairy-tale; because the object of a realistic story is not to re­ peat common things, but to interest people in common things; not to create uncommon things, but to show people that common things are not by any means so uninteresting as they seem at first sight. The realistic writer must see, not new things, but new qualities in things; and to do that, he must have plenty , of imagination. Those whom you call 'old-fashioned writers' imagined that they must describe the thoughts and looks and clothes and actions of a princess, or some creature out of the range of every-day life; but the realistic writers have discovered that the thoughts and clothes and looks and actions of a little beggar-girl can be made just as interesting to people, if only you can see what is unseen about them with your mind's eye. Now, which would you say had really the nobler imagination--a man who went into his library and wrote a remarkable "OHM AFTER DEATH." What Wonders the Microstope Done for Us. •TJ a.- H* I>« * Obliged to Dte to "What* Killing ©#.*• Oat poem about the golden apples of the Hesperides, that were pure creations of his fancy, or Sir Isaac Newton when he went and sat down under a common apple-tree, and set his imagination to work to find out what made the apple fall to the ground ? The realistic writer is satisfied with the every-day apple- tree--that is quite certain; but here is your mistake about him, he isn't satis­ fied with telling you that the apples fell; he shows you how they fell, and what a great, beautiful, wonderful law of the universe caused them to fall; and he makes you feel that the law was all the more beautiful and wonderful for not applying merely to one particu­ lar apple, or even to the whole class of apple-trees, but to everything. "A little while ago you spoke of one of Mr. Howelis' heroines who tried to do something and couldn't. I suppose you mean the poor rich girl who lost all her money, and found that all her fine education did not help her a bit when it came to earning her living. Now if Mr. Howelis had merely meant by that to show girls how absurd it was for them to try to do anything, it would have been a very cruel story; but I think he merely meant to show the parents what scrappy sort of education they were giving their daughters, with all the money they were spending for it."--Alice Wellington Rollins, in St Nicholas. , "WHEN J was first married," said a middle-aged lady, "my husband looked only for happiness, but very soon he only found fault." One of the leading scientific publications states that many people are now using tbe mi­ croscope to disoover the real cause of disease in the system, and to detect adulterations of food ana medicines. This wonderful instrument has saved many a life. A microscopical test shows, for in­ stance, the presence of albumen, or the life of the blood, in certain derangements of the kid­ neys, bat medicine does not tell as how far advanced the derangement is, or whether it j shall prove fatal. The microscope, however, gives us this j knowledge; 1 Bright'a disease, which so many people I dread, was not fully known untn the micro. ; scope revealed its characteristics It greatly j aids the physician skilled in its use, in deter- j mining how far disease has advanced, and gives a fuller idea of the true structure of the kidney. I A noted German scholar reoently discovered ' that by the aid of the microscope, the physi­ cian can tell if there is a tumor tormmg in me system, and if oertsin appearanoes are seen in the fluids passed, it is proof positive that the tumor is to bs a malignant one. If any derangement, of the kidneys is de­ tected by the microscope, the physician looks for the development of almost any disease the system is heir to, and any indication of Bright's disease, which has no symptoms of its own and cannot be fully recognized except by the microscope, he looka upon with alarm. This disease has existed for more than 2,000 years. It is only until reoently that the micro­ scope has revealed to ua its universal preva­ lence and fatal character. Persons who form­ erly died of what was called general debility, nervous break-down, dropsy, paralysis, heart disease, rheumatism, apoplexy, etc., are now known to have really diea of kidney disease, because, had there been no disorder of the kidneys, the chances are that the effects from which they died would never have existed. As the world becomes better acquainted with the importance of the kidneys in the human economy by the aid of the microscope, there is greater alarm spread through the communities concerning it, and this accouuts for the errone­ ous belief that it is on the increase. As yet neither homeopathist nor allopsthist is prepared with a cure for deraugel kidneys, but the world has long since recognized, ana many medical gentlemen also recognize and prescribe Warner's safe cure for these de­ rangements, and admit that it is the only specific for the common and advanced forms of kidney disorders. Formerly the true oause of death was dis­ covered only after death. To-day the micro­ scope shows us, in the wstei; we pssa the dangerous condition of any organ in the body, thus enabling us to treat it promptly and es­ cape premature death. As the microscope in the hands of laymen has revealed many diseases that the medical men were not aware of, so that preparation, like many other discoveries io medicine and science, was found out by laymen outside the medical code; consequently it comes verv hard for medical men to indorse and prescribe it Nevertheless, Warner's safe cure continues to grow in popularity, and the evidences of its effectiveness are seen on every hand Some persons claim that the proprietors should give the medical profession the form­ ula of this remedy, if it is such a "godsend to humanity," and fer tile physicians and publio judge whether or not it be so recognized We, however, do not blame them for not publishing the formula, even to get the recog­ nition of the medical profession. The stand­ ing of the men who manufacture this great remedy is equal to that of the majority of physicians, and the roason that some doctors give for not adopting and prescribing it--vis.: that they do not know what its ingredients are --is absurd. Mr. Warrior's statement--that manv of the ingredients are expensive, and that tbe desire of the unscrupulous dealer or prescriber to realize a largo profit from its manufacture by using cheap or injurious substances for those ingredients would jeopard­ ize itB quality and reputation; and that War­ ner's safe euro cannot be made in small qaan- tities on account of the expensive apparatus necessary in compounding these iugredieats-- seems to us to be a reasonable and sufficient one. The universal testimony of our friends and neighbors, and the indisputable evidence that it, and it alone, has complete mastery over all diseases of the kidneys, is sufficient explana­ tion of its extraordinary reputation, and con­ clusive proof that it is, perhaps, the most beneficent discovery known scientific medi­ cine since the microscope revealed to us the all-important nature of the organs it is 4s» signed to reach and benefit Things to Eat and Drink.

Tlie whole tendency of the system is downward. In this condition Hood's Barsaparilla is Just the medicine needed. It purifies tbe blood, sharpens tbe ai pet.t-, overcomes the tired feeling, and invigorates every function of the body. Try it. -We all like Hood's Sarsaparilla, it is so strength- suing."
