If people were as careful in avoiding the habits which produce disease as they are persistent in seeking cures for their ailments, the number of invalids in the world would be much reduced. The valetudinarian of modern times leaves nothing untried which may afford him relief, provided pat he has the means which are necessary to enable him to travel. He passes from spa to spa, dosing himself with waters of the foulest taste, allowing himself to be boiled in hot springs, or chilled in cold springs, and, according to the nature of his malady, eating bushels of grape at Meran and quarts of whey at Appenzell ; submitting to the movement cure at Stockholm, or reviving himself with kumiss on the Russian steppes.

Besides the various water-cures, the Swedish movement cure, the grape, whey, and kumiss cures, there are baths of peat, of mud, of herbs, and of pine-needles, for each of which some specific virtue is claimed. Genuine sufferers, who are not responsible for their ailments, and are earnestly seeking recovery, patronize them all to some extent, but like the shape of a new 9 bonnet, or the flounces on a dress, most of these curious remedies owe their existence to the whims of fashion.

It is people who are ailing from the disease of luxury and vice, such as gout and scrofula, who support them, and who use them, not with the intention of giving up their baneful habits if they recover, but in order that they may continue to gratify the very habits which have made the remedy necessary.

The waters of Carlsbad are remarkablyefficacious in reducing obesity, and every year crowds of gluttons go there to relieve themselves of the cumbrous fat which they have accumulated in overeating dur-. The change in their appearance is rapid ; they lose twenty, thirty, or more pounds in five or six weeks ; and having arrived at this famous Austrian watering-place with the bulk of Falstaff, they leave it at the end of two months reduced to shapely proportions, only, however, to reappear fattened again the next spring, and anxious o renew the treatment.

IN THAT STATE OF LIFE

Moritzare as much resorted to for pleasure and excitement as for the benefits to be derived from their springs. Most of them are beautifully situated, and the fashionable circles of London, Paris, Vienna, and Berlin are transferred to them for the season, with all the gayeties which flourish in cities. The social butterflies bathe and drink the waters, and make a pretense of dieting themselves, but their chief aim is pastime.

They have balls, theaters, lovely promenades, and luxurious hotels. They dress in splendid raiment, dine extravagantly, and keep the hours of Belgravia and Mayfair. In most respects one watering-place is like another ; the only differences are in degree of magnificence and size in the hotels and baths. There is a " Kurhaus " to which the visitors flock to drink the water and gossip in the morning, and a " Kurgarten " to which they resort later in the day, sitting in the odor of flowers and the shade of foliage, while they listen to the music and sip their coffee and ices.

The scenes in "Kurhaus" and " Kurgarten," when conversation is humming between the strains of the music, and the well-dressed and polite crowd is winding in and out among the bushes and trees, is as full of color and sparkle as the Champs 10 GOOD NKikriTI Elysees in a June afternoon. It is like a great garden-party, to which guests have been bidden from every country, even from Oregon and Nevada, Ecuador and Afghanistan. There may be invalids who are nursing themselves and giving the waters an earnest trial, but they are not 'conspicuous, though now and then a white Pace and a decrepit shape, with tremulous footsteps, will lend the force of contrast to the gayety.

In all directions there are pretty walks and little woodland restaurants, where coffee and other refreshments are served by picturesquely dressed girls. The roads are kept in fine condition, and protected by civil policemen ; something like paternal care is taken of the visitors by the village authorities, and as a return for all these advantages,the safe, smooth roads, the " Kurhaus," with its reading and smoking rooms, and the "Kurgarten," with its band,a tax called " Kurtax " is exacted from all persons who stay in the place longer than a week.

The strange remedies to which we have referred may usually be tried in conjunction with the mineral springs. Peat and mud-baths are given at nearly all the continental watering-places. The peat is powdered and sifted, and mixed with boiling water until it resemb' es the inky sweepings of a street ; when it is at a temperature of nearly one hundred degrees, the patient is required to sit or lie in the slimy mass for from a quarter to three-quarters of an hour, at the end of which time he is immersed and washed in clean water.

The benefits claimed for the peat-baths are in their calming effects on the cutaneous nerves, and in their promotion of exudations from the body ; hence the remedy is used in cases of rheumatism, gout, paralysis, and sciatica. The same ailments are treated in the same way by mud-baths. Not all kinds of mud are efficacious, and it is not the mud itself which is valuable, but its constituents, that used in the baths being the deposit of the mineral springs, especially the sulphur springs.

Allied to the peat and mud-baths are sand-baths, which are popular with the ancients, and are administered now, as in old Rome, to promote the elimination of poisonous matter from the body. The patient is buried in sand heated to a temperature of from to ', for about an hour, and the perspiration produced iu this way is so copious that his weight will be reduced as much as two pounds in that time. Earth-baths are said to be valuable for their absorbent effect in withdrawing diseases through the pores, and a weird story of an experiment with them is told by a Western poet.

A party of adventurers crossing the mountains had among them two men who were stricken down with scurvy. All the simple remedies of the camp had been exhausted in vain, when an old miner bethought himself of the earth-bath. The sufferers were quite willing to try it, and at night they were buried up to the neck in holes which had been dug where the soil was soft, some distance outside the camp. Their companions returned to their tents ; they themselves soon fell asleep.

When the party came in the morning to see how the earth-bath had affected the invalids, they were filled with horror ; the buried men had been visited by wolves during the night, and their heads had been eaten off. As this grotesque reminiscence of camplife is given by a very imaginative person, however, we advise the reader to take it with a grain of salt. Pine-needle baths are common in Germany. The needles are brewed into a greenish extract, and about two ounces of the fluid are mixed with enough warm water to make a bath.

The immersion in this is not at all unpleasant ; a strong aromatic scent rises from the water, and the effect of the bath is said to be very beneficial in cases of chronic rheumatism and of neuralgia. Formerly it was believed that the longer a patient remained in the various baths, the more rapid his cure would be, and the corrosion of his skin was taken to be a sign of recovery; but it is now understood that excess in this is as injurious as in other things.

Nevertheless, at some of the mineral water baths it is still the custom to remain in the water several hours at a time. The patients, both men and women, all dressed in long robes, immerse themselves during the whole forenoon and afternoon, beguiling themselves with conversation and reading. At Leukerbad, in Switzerland, the scene in the baths is very curious.

The basins are filled with bathers of both sexes, who not only chat among themselves, but by means of little floating tables are enabled during their immersion to play games of chess, eat, drink, and read.

TM ers look like some aquatic performing animals, their friends in ordinary dress gather in the gallery, and chat with them. In New Zealand there is a bath which leaves a coating of silica, like enamel, and which has been called after the notorious Madame Rachel, who pretended to make people " beautiful forever. Perhaps the pleasantest of all the strange cases which we have mentioned is the grape cure at Meran. Meran is a pretty village in the Tyrol. Grapes of the richest bloom and the most delicious flavor are to be seen whenever there is enough soil for the vine ; they hang in purple bunches over all the hills, in every garden, round every cottage porch.

Carts full of them come into town every morning, and they lie heaped on stalls at the street corners. The patients begin by eating one or two pounds a day, dividing the quantity into three portions, one taken an hour before breakfast, the next before dinner, and the next before supper. The quantity is increased by degrees, until no difficulty is experienced in consuming six or seven pounds a day. Gripe diet, says Dr. Edward, Gutman, is an excellent remedy in cases of enlargement of the liver, congestions of the brain produced by mental labor or excitement, and consumption.

It is a remedy which our readers would swallow without any repugnance. But the air of Meran is pure, and the patients live out-of-doors. Very likely the pure air and the sunshine, have as much to do with the cures effected as the grapes have, for they are the greatest of medicines. With these evil agencies working against a man, some slight exposure brings on an attack of illness, and the whole body being weakened, gives way in a very short time.

The sudden illness and speedy demise baffle medical skill ; the stricken family and shocked friends are told that overwork was the oause of death, and the press deplores the tendency of our civilization to kill people by overwork, when the real cause of ninetenths of these deaths is as outlined above. The Manufacturer and Builder.

In nine out of ten cases of this kind, the true cause of death will be found to be something besides overwork. We all know professional and business men who work harder than they ought, and yet by taking good care of themselves in the way of diet, exercise, etc. Those who die from " overwork" generally use liquors and tobacco without moderation, keep late hours, and indulge in hazardous speculations outside of their legitimate business. Late hours, Live for something. Thousands of men breathe, move, and live, pass off the stage of life, and are heard of no more.

Why None are blessed by them; none can point to them as the means of their redemption; not a line they wrote, not a word they spoke could be recalled, and so they perished; their light went out in darkness, and they were not remembered more than the insects of yesterday.

The following is told of a green son of the Evergreen Isle. He was eating green corn from the cob for the first time. He handed the cob to the waiter and asked, "Will ye plaze put some more beans upon me sthick" Man without religion is a creature of circumstance. Religion is above all cir cumstances, and will lift him above them. Natural History, and other interesting Topics. Conducted by MRS. LET'S oftener talk of noble deeds, And rarer of the bad ones, And sing about our happy days, And not about the sad ones.

We were not made to fret and sigh, And when grief sleeps, to wake it; Bright Happiness is standing by This life is what we make it. Let's find the sunny side of men, Or be believers in it ; A light there is in every soul That takes the pains to win it. Oh 1 there's a slumbering good in all, And we perchance may wake it; Our hands contain the magic wand This life is what we make it. Then here's to those whose loving hearts Shed light and joy about them Thanks be to them for countless gems We ne'er had known without them.

Oh I this should be a happy world To all who may partake it; The fault's our own if it is not This life is what we make it. BY MRS. FROM earliest antiquity, man has sought to perpetuate the memory of the dead by some kind of lasting monument.

Among the ancient nations, some form of structural tomb was very commonly provided for this purpose. Believing, as many of them did, that the spirits of the dead lived a kind of shadowy life, hovering about the tomb in which they were buried, and depending for their well-being entirely upon the honors bestowed upon them by their descendants, they spared no pains to make these last habitations as enduring as possible. Far more labor and greater expense was often bestowed upon the construction of the abode for the dead than upon the dwellings of the living.

Their houses they called inns, because men dwelt there but a brief period ; their tombs they termed everlasting mansions, because the dead lived there forever.
