'[Bravo!] Miss Gasper. would like to ask, what :could doctors know about it? They _didn't wear ' stays, did they ? How, then, could. !they tell what ladies suf fered from tightlacing? Mrs. M.

I • Miss Lazio remarked that another of its benefits was, that it prevented any nitis‘Fular exertion. To lie upon a sofa and Totttl novels all day long, was her idea.tof almost perfect earthly happi ness; and, aS'tight lacing unfitted her for any useful work, she had borne like a martyr the torture it had caused her. • .

Hence lie or m` the bar a draught of liquid he form of a glass of brandy er, or ar whisky cocktail. just here us to this terrible o called, of the inebriate—the d's thirst. It is not, In any A WO thirst, druttki, . • .

This eraying Of the Inebriate for' Alcoholic beverfiges, is as much a demand . of the entire nervous.organization for Its ac customed stimulus, as is the craving Of 'r the opium eater for his special stimu lus. In the base of tire inebriate, relief comes in a fluid form, hence the erav ing has been called thirst; but the term is a Misnomer. Inebriates, too, as a general thing, are inordinate eaters. Mr. Parton in his A tlantic Monthly article, "Will Comibg Man Drink Wine?" ask— " How could we dispose of the enor mous' amount of food we consume olk \ ; , festive occasions, without the aid of some stimulus to . digestion ?" or some thing to tills effect. • We do not pretend to give the'kmact words, but this is the . substance. I have visited inebriate asylums and sanitariums for the cure of the, intem perate; and I have always noticed that the patients were most of them large eaters, especially of animal fobd. ' Beef, too, was preferred to mutto i i and other kinds, as being the most st imulating of animal food. And it was usually cov ered with mustard, sufficient in quan tity to blister the heel of the thickest skinned negro to be found anywhere, if applied theret6. Almost everything else that was eaten was made literally black with Pepper. I said to the stew ard of one of these institutions, that he ought to put the pepper on the table in bONVIs, with spoons in thern, and let the ' boarders suPPly themselves in that way; fort took too long to get the required I. qu ntity from the ordinary Style of pep- i per( box , with perforated lid. • Coffee. an tea were drunk in large quantities. To acco was used to excess. Every bo y seemed to be smoking, smoking continually. Said ,to me, ft physician of repute in the town where One of th t se institutions is located, with whom lappened to be (conversing on thiS su.l:. Jed : " Yes, sir,' they smoke tobac co—tons of it." , [-- ' ow, it may not Ibe true that every o e who eats inordinately, and of stirn ulating and highly seasoned food is a drunkard ; but I hold that such a one, bz his manner of living, suppli s the ncessary conditions for bee° ing ,a drunkard. That he does not ecome oho, is, perhaps, because ora high mo 7 ' rid principle, acting in conjunotion with a great will-power to restrain his appletite for diabsible'stimulants ; for I hold that in such a else this appetite, to a greater or less extent, exists. The converse of this proposition, however, IS true—viz: that, as a general thing, , men who are fond of stimulating drinks are also fond of stirfiulating and highly. seasoned food. Not every man, either, who chews tobacco or saMkeb segars, ,will drink whiskey; but the converse of this proposition also is true, viz ;that . habitual ,users of ardent , spirits, with scarcely au exception, use also tobaao'l in some form. ' , t .. i • I have now pointed out sOme of the -, r lauses or intemperance among the American people, and 'tame dwelt at nie'length upon what I bonceiite M be thq chief cause, one that is remedia ble. In the treatment of inebriates/in_ sanitariums and institutions establish ed for that purpose, I think it would be well to recognize these facts. Aby one in charge of such an institution; if he / has ordinary powers of observation,c4 in a very short time satisfy himsdif whether the're is /more of fact or fancy in the theOry now put forth. Moral means, of course, have their .place i lh the treatment of inebriety, as they have in the treatment 'of other. maladies where morbid appetites and fickle minds have to be dealt with, and' where pa tience and self denia on the part of the patient are requited. And just inr Proportion to' the extent to which these facts are recognized, will such 'institu iions be successful. I have seen it trred, and, therefore, I know `whereof I af firm ; and names, dates and facts can be given in support. On the contrary, if the principle I have indicated are ignored, and the reliance for the refor— mation of inebriates placed on Moral treatment alone, as formerly, we need not look for any gredter degree of sue ' r the futute than we have • had in . 1 eeSS 111 ( the past. Why 'should we?--,Etveics Co. 1 Intelligence?... , „ . • THE S CRET OF IT.—An old farmer being asked why his boys stayed at home when i others did not, replied that lit was owing to the fact that he always ; tried to make home pleasant for theme He furnished them' with useful/ anil attractive reading ; and when night comes, and the days labor is ended, instead 9f running with Other 'l39ya toi the railway station and adjoining towns, they gather around the great lamp, and become absorbed in their boccks and papers. ;His boys were still at home when the oldest was twenty one, while those who were furnished with no reading at home sought city r life and city dissipationsas, soon a 3 they were seventeg or , ' eight een.
