A Lady on (jymnastlcs. A lady physician in New York writes as follows. For years I have been con vinced that the mania for gymnastic exercises, athletic devoloptnent, and muscuiar power has been productive 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, aud re quires the full payment of a serious pen alty whenever the folly is perpetrated of developing muscles as a business, through the swinging of dumb-bells and Indian clubs. The long walks, which are taken too frequently and with quite too much vim, under the influence cf a spirit of emulation or to win a belt, are productive of far more injury than bencflt. But, most ot 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 stains and mangled form of the ordinary suicide. Our young men are not content until they are scrubbed bald-headed by the witflng 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 aud fortunately guards them, no doubt they, too, would be shampooed put ol existence so effectually as to leave the "coming man" without that becoming adorn me ut. The poor body is literally scrubbed out of existence. Nature guards her outposts very jealously, but she cannot do double duty in one di rection without 6igual failure in some other. Consequently, when the sur face of the body is daily denuded of the cuticle under the vigorous application of the barbarous "coarse towel," she must repair damages at the expense ol the digestion or the natural elimination of morbid matter; some organ loses the harmony with its fellows wiiich is necessary to a perfect whole* Cleanli ness is not only "next to goodness,'' but a very large part of it, aud it is highly important that bathing shoud be employed as a hygenic force; but not the shower-bath when an exhausted body is slowly waking from an unnatu ral sleep; nor a cold sponge when the day's duties have exhausted mind and body both. To change the clothing frequently, and permit a thorough ail ing : to expose the entire surface of the body for a few moments to the air of the room on rising aud retiring; a light brushing with a soft brush or a fine towel, aud a good bath once or twice a week, are all that an American can endure and retain health. Light exercise of tbose muscles called into play in the daily routine is also desira ble, but it should be c&listhenic, not gymnastic, and should not include a vigorous pounding of the chest, than winch nothing can be worse for the lungs. My Rules for Living;. I am no docter or pill vender, yet I have a good long life and a happy one. May I not, therefore, just give my simple rules for health in hopes that some traveler on the up or down hill of life may look at them and be benefitted by them. I have practiced them for many years and they have done me "good; they may do good to others. They are inexpensive and may be easily abandoned, if they cause any harm. I. Keep in the sunlight as much as possible. A plant will not thrive with out the sunbeam much less a man. 11. Breathe as much fresh air as your busiuess will permit. This makes fresh blood; but it is never found in the four wall 3of your building. Be neath the open sky, just there, and on ly there, it comes to you. 111. Be strictly temperate. You cannot break organic law, or any other law, with impunity. IV. Keep the feet always warm and the head cool. Disease and death be gin at the feet more commonly than we think. V. Eat white bread when you can not get brown bread. VI. If out of order see which of the above rules you have not observed, then rub yourself all over with a towel, saturated with i salt water and well dried and begin upon the rules again. VII. Look ever on the bright, which is the heaven side of life. This is far better than a medicine. These seven simple rules, good for the valid or invalid, If rightly observed, would save-, I apprehend, a deal of pain, prolong life, and so far as health goes, make it worth the having. Progress I Invention. A western dealer has invented vice to prevent market men palming off old eggs for fresh ones. The invention is thus de3cri bed: He proposes to ar range a rubber stamp in the nest of every hen, with a movable date. This stamp is arranged with a pad which is saturated with indelible ink. When the hen lays an egg, as is well known she kicks alightly with he r hind leg. Ad electric disk is arranged so that her foot touches it, when the stamp turnß over on to the ink pad, and then re volved, stamping the date on the egg. The hen then , goes off about her busi ness, the farmer's hired girl removes the egg, replaces the stamp, which is ready for another. On each evening, after the hens have retired to their downy roo3t, with the rooster, the date of the stamp is changed to the follow ing day, and the good work goes on. In this way there can be no cheating. You go to the grocery and ask for fresh e SS s * an( l the grocery man says he has some eggs of the vintage of January 29th, 1880, for instance. You look at them, and there are the figures, which cannot lie. With this method it is an object for the man to get rid of his eggs knowing that to-morrow may be too late. How to Save In the Household A practical question, surely, in these days, and one in which many are inter ested, whether sufficiently so as to bene fit their finances remains to be seen. The first step In saving is to go to mar ket yourself. Tell the grocery boy not to come again, andputon your bonnet and shawl after breakfast, and go out ami buy what you need for the day. At the end of the month your expenses will have been lessened aud your table improved. "How?" By going to the market you see whatever fresh fruit or vegetables are there; you can often buy a cheep piece of meat that is sweet and good, and by cooking It in an appetiz ing way, add to your list of vegetables, make a nice dessert, and your dinner will not have cost as much as formerly, when every day's dinner seemed alike. Another way to save is to give up buy ing at retail anything that can be bought at wholesale; then take the money saved and put it away, as if it did not exist. The idea is a wrong one, that economy means parsimony. One of the surest ways to save is to have every dish well cooked, that nothing is to be thrown away as worthless. Were all the money saved that is thrown out by unseasoned vegetables underdone or overdone meats, burned cakes and pies, scorched oatmeal and rice, many dollars would be added to the savings of the house. You say, "How can I help it?" If you cannot afford a cook, see to these things yourself. Money is wasted in little things more than in ox pensive articles of food, and if money is an fteiu to you, it is worth a little trouble. A fourth way to save money is to buy only the healthiest and best rightly made, fresh fruits and vegetables dishes. By setting before your family good meats, well cooked, good bread, they will be healthy aud save you a doctor's bill of two or more dollars a visit. Time as well as money is saved by having a bill of fare for each day in the week, to be varied by times and seasons. This saves the trouble of think" ing what*to have next day. Another way to save is by knowing just how to use all that is left troin to-day's dinner. A French cook will make a bountiful and enjoyable dinner of what others would throw away. Why should not we do as well ? One of the largest out lets to a family's income is by tea or coffee. Aside from the actual expense of the articles themselves, they necessi tate an Increased milk bill, and the item of sugar, which alone is S3O a year. If any family really wishes to economize let them try these rules a year, and tell us if they are disappointed. Artificial Ice. —Experiments in artifi cial product ion of ice have been made within a few yeans, in Europe and America, which have resulted, finally, in developing a process or processes, by which a very superior article is now made. In New Orleaus artificial ice is made, which, aside from its excellence as a commodity of natural ice, is manu factured at such reduced costs as to dis pense with the shipment of natural ice to that market in a large degree. At the Louisiana Ice Works In New Orleans an improved method is now in use for the manufacture of ice. In a strong iron cooler a given quantity of liquid ammonia is introduced; and by the means of a slow fire the ammonia gas is held in solution in the water, and conveyed into a series of iron worms which are surrounded by a constant current of water. The gas, ruuning through the worms, becomes liquefied by the action of the running water and the pressure of the boiler, and flows into a receiver. From the latter the liquefied gas flows into a series of worms, which constitute the refrigera tor or freezing bath, where, by a rapid evaporation, extreme cold is produced. To ultilize this cold, the iron worms are surrounded by a strong solution of common salt, which absorbs all the cold produced in the worms. Placed in the spaces between the worms are sus pended forms, or moulds, of any size desired, filled with pure water, This water immediately absorbs the cold from the salt bath, and the result is the formation of ice. It has been demonstrated that ether can be made to evaporize so speedily as to produce intense cold, and if, w hen cov ered with water, its evaporation be as sisted, it will escape so quickly as to lower the temperature of the" water to freezing point. Hence ether is often used in preparing freezing mixtures; and a machine has recently been con structed lor making ice by means of the remarkable property above alluded to. The apparatus as described consists of an engine and air-pump, combined on the same bed-piate, a refrigerator, and ether condenser, a circulating pump, and one or more ice-boxes according to the quality required—a steam engine supplying the motive power. The two inlet passages of the air pump are con nected by a copper pipe that places theui in communication with the refrigerate r, which is a felt-covered vessel of cylin drical shape, the tubes being made of copper and riveted to brass-end plates. The two outward valves on the other side of the air pump communicate with the ether condenser. The whole is im mersed in a wooden tank, through which a stream of water constantly passes for cooling and condensing the ether vapor. A vacuum is maintained by the air pump in the refi igerator, ev aporizing the ether at a low tempera ture. This operation causes an absorp tion of heat, which reduces the temper ture of a strong brine that is made to circulate through the tubes and ice box. The latter is a tank of red deal, varnish ed inside, with partitions whith holes in them to allow a slow circulation of the brine. Zinc moulds of different widthg, according to the shapes o! the blocks of ice reqnired, are filled with pure water and suspended between the partitions. —Cannes mourns for the Czarina, who spent $2,500,000 during her stay there.

There Is abundant reason for doing this, and they cannot too frequently insist, that milk must be furnished just us It comes from the cow. But these articles lose much of their force by implying, indeed sfnne of them directly asserting, that a mix ture of chalk and water is served in place of milk. This is absurd. The most skilled manipulator can make no mixture of any form of chalk, that will be 110 more dense than ordinary milk, from which the chalk, will not com pletely settle, upon standing for a few hours. We doubt if thtfre was ever a pint of milk sold in New Yosk city in which chalk was used as an adultera tion. In London milk and other adul ations were carried to such an extent, that Parliament had the matter investi gated some years ago. Doctor llassal, who was officially connected with these examinations, aud has probably ex amined more samples of milk than any oilier person, says of chalk aud starch In milk, while he admits that they may be rarely used, that "it has not hap pened to ourselves to meet these sub stances in milk." Wanklyn, also of Loudou, in the most recent work oil the "Analysis of Milk," says nothing about the occurrence ot chalk. The fact is, the uiost serious adulteration of milk is with water. Besides the addi tion of water, milk is Impoverished by the abstraction of cream. These two, the taking otfwl cream, and putting in water, are the worst that happen to city milk, anu these are bad euough. It diverts attention from these real troubles, to talk improbable, if not im possible "chalk and water." MILK VS. MEAT.— For years past the milk-producing power of cows has di minished greatly. There appears to bo a sort of natural opposition between those improvements in our breeds which favor the production of meat, and that condition of body which is most favoraole for the yield of milk. The reason is not difficult to discover. The improvements we establish in eat tie, although they accomplish the spec ial object we desire and render those animals most economical producers of meat, are, after, all, departures from the natural character, and they make these cattle more tender and delicate la constitution. They do not obtain that vigor which distinguished the un improved breeds from which they have been obtained consequently the laws of animal life make themselves felt, and difficulties arise from these improved cattle. It is also observed in practice that anj' course of procedure which weakens the breeding powers equally affects ihe production of milk. 1 here is a natural connection between these two functions, and, as a rule, our best milkers are not our best fatten ing an mils. The alteritions pio dueed 111 our improved breeds have giveu a strong tendency for the forma tion of fat and flesh, and in these animals we have a vigorous influence seeking to use the nutriment in the blood for that purpose. At the same time the ten dency to form milk is very weak. STABLE FLOORS. — The floor is made level, lore and aft, but leaving a geu tle |slopo from each of the two sides to the centre, or half the width of the stall. The planks are laid crosswise, inclining to the centre leaving an open ing between the ends in the centre, just wide enough for the urine to drain through a metal gutter under the floor, which conducts it outside the building to a hogshead or to the manure pit. This prevents it from being absorbed in the bedding, which, is wet, fetid, and uncomfortable to the horse. The cleanliness of this arrangement of floor is another advantage, as it admits ol the animal lying as he always does, where he can, in pasture fields, i. ., with his back up the grade. Then the floor, being always kept dry, makes a good bod lor the horse without litter, during the summer months, besides being cooler and freer from the ammo nia which the latter exhales. THK changes that occur from the egg, to the perfect bee are—the worker passes about three and a half days In the egg. It is then hatched—a small white worm, grub or maggot, and Is called larva, a Latin word that means mask, because the perfect insect is concealed or masked in that state It remains thus for about fiye days' when the cell is sealed over by the bees and the larva spins around itself a silken covering called a cocoon. This is the third stage, and is now called a nymph, pupa or chrysalis. It remains in this state till the 2lst day from the time the egg was iaid, when It becomes a per fect bee or imago. She drone passes days in the egg, six cr seven in the larva, and comes out a bee on the 24th day. The queen passes three days In the egg, five in the larva state, and comes out a perfect queen on the 16th day. GEESE AND DUCKS. —These are profit able birds in some cases, and may be kept where there is cheap grazing. Halt a dozen geese will soon fill a good sized feather bed or a pair of pillows. The white ducks are perhaps equally useful in this way. Both ol these will soon begin to lay, but must be closely watched and kept up at nights or they will drop their eggs abroad. The eggs should be gathered and kept in a cool but not cold place until they are want ed tor setting. THE CALF. —The time to make gain in feeding an animal for beef is when he is young. A calf that has been well fed until it is four months old, and then made for three or four months to de pend solely on good pasture, will be more likely to do well thereafter than he would If fed on rich lood without cessation. Animals not only pay best for the food consumed in early life, but they gain moro pounds within a given time.

GLYCERINE OINTMENT.—A very good preparation of glycerine to have always on hand, can be readily prepared by any apothecary or druggist: In two ounces of sweet oil of almonds, melt by slow heat, half an ounce of sper maceti, and one dram of white wax. Then add one ounce of good glycerine, stirring until cold. When cold, sceut It by stirring in a little oil of roses. Keep in small jars or small wide neck ed bottles. In hot weather keep close ly corked, as it sometimes gets a little rancid if long exposed to the warmth. Half or a fourth of the above quantities may bo used. Kvery drugstore should keep a jar of it, and recommend its use. It is excellent for softening the skin, for most Injured kiii surfaces that are not open soi es; for chafed places, for moistening corns or callused feet or toes, and especially for chapped face, lips or hands. When the hands are chapped or cracked, or roughened by cold, wain theui clean with soap, and rub them well with this glycerine oint ment, wiping it off enough to prevent soiling clothing. If this is done at night the hands will besott and in good condition iu the morning, except when deeply cracked. It Is very good to apply to the hands after washing day. This is an *xcelleiit preparation to use by those afflicted with the distressing trouble known as lucmorro ids or piles.

Several theo ries, more or less plausible, have been propounded to explain the prejudicial effects of the inhalation of the vapors; but, whatever be the correct explana tion, there Is no doubt of the danger of occupying a room recently painted in which turpentine has been employed, before complete dessication has taken place. It was pointed out by the Coun cil of Hygiene, that a sudden death which recently took place in Paris was attributable to this cause, it being shown that it could not be ascribed to the lead which entered into the com position of the paint of the room in which the deceased slept; the lead, be ing fixed and nonvolatile, cannot in these cases be accused of being the offending element. To MAKE NOODLES FOR SOUP. —Put a cup of flour on yoar molding board, make a hole in the ceuter and pour in one well-beaten egg. Knead, and roll as thin as possible and let it dry. Then cut it into very narrow strips, and place <>n a disii until j erfeetly dry. Just be fore putting them into the soup, pour boiling water over them.
