A FEW WORD% ON CLOTHING.
By T. NICHOLAS, M. D]
• .._
A writer, in a-recent number i d the Jour
nal, dating from what-used to be the far west
wilds of lowa, opposes all clothing, as detri
mental to health. If I would . understand
him rightly, he would banish it at once, and
have, mankind appear in the primitivergarb
of our first parents. He may . be right?—but
if I undertook to try the experiment, I should
prefer an Eden, and a state of innocence to
try it in. In the torrid zone, scime clothing
affords a convenient protection from the in
tense heat, in Russia, it seems rather a ne
cessity. I know the Indians did pretty well
with a few coats of paint, and as they ex
'tinged the whole body, as we do our face and
hands, they said they were all face. It is
probable enough that a man might begin
early, and get toughened to it. even in this
,climate. In the beautiful islands of the
South Sea, dress is worn more for ornament
than use'; but that is a different affair from
the zero temperature of a nortliern winter.
It is a favorite dream of the lovers of pro
gress-, that the climates will be gradually
softened, the seasons equalized, and the earth
redeemed if . rotri its sterility. Bpi as it will
take time for the poles of the earth to be
come perpendicular to the ecliptic, so as to
make an eternal summer around she world :
as the progress of ameliorating the climates
by cultivation must necessarily be slow : and
as people htive no great fondness for tough
ening themselves so as to go naked under
present circumstances, I conclude that some
kind of clothioW will be worn for some time
onger.
There are, indeed, occasional signs of
ehnnge in this respect and these signs occur
in the sex that has the name, justly or not,
of being inclined to fickleness. Men dress
with great regularity. You never see their
skin, except what covers their faces, or such
portions of them as are not concealed by
shirt collars, hair, and whiskers ; and the
hands when not covered bj , rings, gloves,
and mittens.—But the women certainly have
some slight tendencies toward the theory of
our lowa philosopher, which I charitably at
tribute to their comparative , state of inno
cence, and some dim longings after the lost
Eden.
Thus our fair and gentle ladies are some
times dressed to the tips of their
_fingers : at
others, we see their beautiful white arms
bared to the shoulder. Sometimes their
dresses come up to their chins : anon. they
fall far down their chests. ' At present, their
dresses sweep the pavements, but I can re
member when, in obedience to the nod of
fashion, they rose some distance above what
may be properly called the ankle. At the
theatre, especially in the ballet, the style of
dress, like that of - the South Sea Islanders,
is more ornamental than useful, and. at times,
is so very little, that our lowa friend could
scarcely make it a subject of complaint.
Dress, aside from its brnamental qualities
—and these are by no-means to be disregard
ed—is a kind of necessary evil. I know that'
the poet speaks of "nature when unadorned,
adorned the most ;" but nature, in the poet's
sense, is, I fear, a very scarce article. It is
necessary, as a protection from the inclemen
cies of the weather, and to protect out our
'innocence, but the want of it ; for it is not
the pure who are scandalized at nudity.
Leaving the decency part out of the question,
if we should all leave off our clothes, I sup
pose three-fourths would be killed the first
winter, while the balance would be remar
kably tough and. healthy. I think, therefore,
that if any such be made it should be done
gradually ; not,, perhaps, as the ladies do, by
nearing their arms or. bosoms bare now and
then tit, a party, a ball, .or the opera . - but by
leaving off sonic of our unnecessary coddings
and comforters.
So much for necessity—now fur the evil .
It is true that the whole body needs light and
air, as it needs cleanliness. It is true that
much of our clothing interferes with these
requisites. like the fashion of the Turkish
ladies, who, after their baths, amuse them
selves for an hour or two, talking, working,
or • playing games, before dressing.. This
practice, in a large. airy, well•lighted room,
cannot but be favorable to health. To let in
air and light, clothing should be made loose,
and of a spongy texture. There are two
points to be considered here. The transpira
tions of the body must be thrown off without
impediment, and access permitted to the ex
ternal air.
I am satisfied that we breathe with the
skin, all over the body. In' that case. tight
close garments must smother us. Nothing
like oiled silk or India-rubber cloth should
ever be worn. All dresses of oil-cloth, or
other water•proof compositions, which are
also air-prod, should be avoided. It is bet
ter to get w,et. Great mischief has been
done to heads by wearing tight and air-tight
hats. The silk hats especially are quite air
tight, the plush being put on with shellac.
From this cause we have head ache, 12,,a1d.
ness, and tendency to apoplexy. So or the
feet, casecrin water-proof boots. The boots
commonly worn, make the feet tender, un
healthy, and chilly. Every sensible man
wears shoes or cloth gaiters when the-season
will admit. and when compelled to wear
boots, he has them made large. and changes'
them as quickly as possible for his slippers.
In texture, the knit stocking is the best
article of clothing we have. It seems to
answer every requisite. We might wear
knit undershirts and drawers, with advan
tage, when they are needed. Some people
lay great stress upon the healthinesssof wear
ing woolen flannel next the skin s .—When
people do not bathe, and when it is not al
lovied to become too filthy, I think it may be
useful. It will cleanse the skin after a &A

GENERAL APYEATISERi
coddle their feet so much in tight, impervious
boots: but then they chill them severely,
when there is no need of it.
The ladiessadmit the air with some free
dom to the lower half of their bodies, but
they make up for.that by close fitting bodies,
and corsets to the upper half, including the
most vital organs. I believe I' shall say
nothing about tight lacing ; as itpresumed
that every woman who presses her heart,
liver, lungs and Stomach, into a less space
than nature designed for them, knows that
she is killing terself;and takes the responsi
bility of suicide. But as it is our duty to
prevent people from drowning themselves or
taking poison, "unless prescribed by a regu
lar physician." I don't know but it may be
the ditty of every man to carry a, knife. or a
pair of scissors in his pocket, and rip open
every woman he sees committing the most
stupid of all' modes of self-slaughter.
Aside from the cravat, winch there has
been much debate about, men dress the chest
to better 'advantage than do the women. ' I
hate heard of Male dandies, who wear belts,
body-braCes, and corsets : hut I trust, for the
honor of humanity, that such specimens are
rare. What few may be foupd running at
Large should he caught, caged, and turned
over to the menageries. If women will pro
fane their bodies by such hideous distortions ,
of themselves. men should try to sustain
their portion -of the dignity of the human
race. There - is a question about the practice
of leaving a-portion of the bosom less pro
tected than the rest, as is done by the open
collars of our coats and waist-coats.—lt is
not settled whether this partial exposure is a
cause of bronchial difficulties, or of a protec
tion against them. But the changes in fe
male dress, from dresses high to low in the
neck, and from long sleeves to bare arms,
cannot-be favorable, to health. They should
be one thing or the other: and much as I ad
mire a white, well shaped arm, the graceful
fall of the neck,' the alabaster gleam of the
well-rounded shoulder, and the heaving bo
som's voluptuous swell, I cannot but think
that for the present, and in a variable climate
like ours, they had all better be protected by
pioper and graceful eoverin g s.
There are a few laws of dress, easily un
derstcrod, and easy to observe. The objects
of dress ate comfort, health, decency, and
ornament. I think comfort, health and de
cency go together: and as use is the highest
beauty, we may take in the ornamental.
The requisites of comfort are ease of motion,
lightness, and just enough and not too much
warmth. The requisites of health are abso
lute purity. the tree ingress of air and light
as far as consistent with comfort, and the
maintenance of the warmth necessary to the
highest vitality. I shall leave the points of
decency and ornament to the taste and sense
of propriety of my readers : but let me assure
them, as - one who has an eye for the beauty
of the female form, that a waist squeezed
into less than its natural dimensions is neither
decent nor ornamental. To the artist it is a
deformity to the anatomist and physiologist,
an indecency and an outrage.— Water Cure
Journal.
A party went on shore one night for
the purpose of Catching turtle, a description
of which may not be uninteresting. We
left the ship at sunset, and reached the shore
about dark, then hauled the boat from the
beach. Having reached the place Where,we
thought it likely the turtle would land, we,
lay down keeping a sharp lookout and ma
king as little noise as possible. The moon
had risen some time, and was shedding her
silverl rays on those desolate regions the
opposite coast, in the distance, which is
very mountainous and the ship riding at
anchor, had together a beautiful effect the
sea was perfectly calm ; and everything
appeared to be sleeping in the stillness of"the
night, and not a whisper being heard among
the party, the surf dashing against the rocks
alone breakidg the silence of the scene. We
were thus all in the expectation of the ap
pearance of a turtle, and six bells had just
gone on board—that is, it was 1l o'clock,
P. M., when we saw the first, to our great
delight coming on shore just opposite to us.
It looked like a black rock, moving slowly
and steadily out of water. •
We did n9t interrupt its progress until
it had got some distance upon the beach.
when a rush was made towards it, and it
was immediately turned over on its back,
without giving it time to defend itself or
blind its assailants by throwing sand with
its flappers or fins, which they do with such
force that it is almost dangerous to come
near them.
Natural Oistotn.
STRENGTH OF THE TURTLE
It took six men thus to turn the largest
that was caught : and the following incident
will further show the immense strength of
these animals. One 01 our men, the gunner,
wandered away by himself to the further
end of the beach, where he thought to have
all the sport to himself, not doubting , that
he could turn over any turtle which he
found ; but on the contrary, to his surprise,
not being absent long before espying a large
one making towards the beach, he allowed
it to come up some way, and then ran over
to it. All his endeavors were however fruit-
less ; and by some means he got his hand
between the shell - and the neck, which the
animal by drawing in his head, jammed and
held there so tight, that he could not with
draw it.
The turtle then began to crawl towards
the sea, dragging the man with it, and he
was in imminent danger of being carried
off, when he began to call for assistance.—
Our party was soon alarmed at the cries,
thinking thattome serious accident had hap
pened, and immediately ran towards the
place frnm which the sound proceeded, where
we- arrived in time to save the poor fellow
from a watery grave. The turtle was close
to the edge of the sea, and was carrying .
him ofl, as if he were nothing ; nor was it
without some difficulty that we released him
from his perilous situation, dragging the
turtle above high water mark, and turning
it over. • The man got off with only a few
bruises, but was much frightened : and we
had a good laugh at him for his adventure.

BEAR HUNTING IN SEEMAN.
In some parts of Sweden great depreda•
tions are committed by bears, which issue
from their haunts and destroy the flocks and
herds of the farm houses.and villages. When
such depredations fall severely on any par
ticular locality, the peasantry assemble
together in large numbers, and, extending
themselves in a line, beat through thit part
of the forest' in which the "grisly monsters"
are supposed to be. The bears. aroused by
the shouts and firing with which• these pro
ceedings are accompanied, collect themselves
together sometimes to the number of twenty,
and the hunters then combine their forces.
and make a simultaneous attack on the gene
ral enemy. Hunted in this way. the bear
soon pays the penalty of his misdoings ; but
when attacked by a single huntsman, he
often meets with better fortune, for, should
the hitrmli . its-ainloy strike any other
part of the bear but the head, the enraged
beast rushes on him, and wo betide him if
he-but get him in his grip. In the northern
part of Sweden, however, the peasant issues
forth, undaunted, in pursuit of the bear.
Sometimes he -takes- with him two or three
small dogs, which, when the bear is found,
divert his attention by barking around him,
and the hunter is enabled to obtain an Oppor.

THE TIDES
Tides are the regular rising and falling of
the waters of the ocean. They occur about
every twelve ant's' a half hours. For six
hours the water iradually rises, and flows
from east towards the - west entering the
r a o utli of rivers, and driving back the wa
ters towards their source: then it seems to
rest for about a quarter of au hour, after
which it begins a, flow back again, froni
west to east, and after another pause of
about fifteen minutes the sea rises and flows
again as'beliire, and thus it continues ebbing
and flowing twice every twenty-five hours.
Philosophers account for these regular agi
tations of the waters of the ocean by . the in
fluence of tire sun and moon, but chiefly of
the moon. The common theory is, that the
moon, by her attractions, raises the water-to
ward her, anti that, as the power of this'at
traction diminishes as the distance from her
increases, the `water tin That side of the earth
consequently rises tin that side, and as' the
body of the earth is attracted more than the
waters on the opposite side from the moon
are, it therefore moves towards the moon,
and leaves the water on the nadir behind, so -
'that they appear to rise as tides at the same
time as those on the side next the moon.
