Tire naily walk in the open air is tee cisgential as the daily bath; it ehoula be them in the early mere - ung, with the rebel open to all the beautifue influences with which tho air is laden, The eunlight drives • away morbid thouglIte; it steals over the senses with soothing ellect and the buoyancy that Le left inwardly is expressed outwardly. 13ut perhaps you argue, there are many mornings when the sun is not shining and the weather is inclemeut, and sulk what you shall do then. 1Valte the walk juet the same. If it Is gloomy out of doors, It is still more gloomy in the lose. The agencies of health are neer more ac- tive in the open air. Go out and gather them in. Everybody should be supplied with rainyecley apparel ezo that a long walk may be taken In the rain with- out any but good (elects frorn it. One should become used to all kinds ot 'weather in season, and particularly to the rain. There aro many fasti- dious French women who walk miles in the rain, perfectly clad for the weather, and feed that it brings the color to the cheeks as no other ex- ercise can. It is like the Jew to the flowers, receiving and unfolding them. Tho degree of benefit obtained from the walk regardless of the weather must greatly depend upon the gen- eral attitude. 11 it is faltering and raisetant the good effects will herd - ]y be noticeable. It must be taken With confidence, and not only wil. lingnees but eagerness and firm re- solve to enjoy it. Afany people will say that a, walk does them good when there is an ob- Ject in it, but otherwise it is irk- some, and, therefore, they cannot avoid taking it listlessly and invari- ably find it fatiguing. A walk for health surely has a great object in view, but must be taken according to its rules. Walk as though you were going somewhere. You have a definite pur- pose to serve; let it appear so. Im- provement to the circulation cannot come with a lagging stop, 11 you are not well, assume that you are well. Some people go Along the street with esseallow complexions and a slisuneTling gait, that seem to ask tor pity that they are so altogether weak and miserable. If they would brace up, hole their heads erect, throw their shoulders buck, take deep inhalations of the pare air and walk briskly they would com- mend not pity, but respect. Exercise taken in this way never fails to do good. roinforceing tho 'vital energies; hands and feet that had been cold and clammy for years grow warm with the free circulation of the blood, giving not only the appearanee of new life but ;lethally generating it. ?W0N1 CI EX ER CISE. Muscular action is indispensable to robust health; but the amount of it that is required varies with age, sex, habits and constitution. Most per - eons who are free from organic dis- ease are benefited by properly direet- ed gymnastic training. Even those employed at manual labor are often improved. by It, for only certain groups of muscles are exercised in the 1 ()Labia of daily work, and eth- os Penlaill eorriparatittily olle.

SEE STRANGE PURSUITS FARMERS AND DOLT, DOCTONS. --- Lady Dog BarberAre Common-- Mateh-makers Flourish in London. In this age of shame, even spielers' welts May be fraudulently ettathed to wine bottles, fur there is an elderly Frenchman, named Pierre Urantaire, who makes a condonable computenee by supplying unscrupulous wine deal- ers with specially -bred spIders, at a fixed rate of $2.50 a hundred, which may be relied upon, if turned loose amongst wine 1/0 ti to nt once proceed to spin abundant webs upon. them, The eeason of this Is that Pierre Crunteire keeps a large es- tablishment at Philculelphim which he devotes to breeding spiders. They ere kept in clerk, cool rooms, which are rendered fly -proof by means • of double folding doors, between which a mospquito curtain is stretched, and the spiders aro allowed to roam at their will about shelves, on which aro placed numerous empty port bot- tles, If a spider spins on the wall or in 12 cerner of a shelf, its web is promp- ly deotroyed by the owner; but if ono of these creatures spins on a bottle it is promptly rewarded with a. fly. Spiders that refuse to spin on bot- tles) are kept without food, and from time to time, tr, encourage them to make their webs on bottles, Gran- taire sticks live flies on the glass with spirit gum- and In the course 01 time the spidern become trained to only spin on bottles. SPIDERS GET FROZEN. . When their education is thus com- pleted, they are placed in separate compartments in light wooden boxes and dispatched by parcels post to the fraudulent trine merchants, who make use of them to give their bot- tles the appearence of twenty years' storage in cellars cool, Should the destination of these industrious spinners be Europe, they, are previously frozen and are placed in the refrigerating chamber during the voyage, In this event the extra cost is naturally borne by, their purchasers. There are numerous men about London whose teethed of livelihood is a puzzle to their friends. They have no private means, they neither work nor borrow, and yet are al- ways dressed in tho height of fash- ion and have plenty of money in their pockets. It may surprise our readers to learn that tho majority of these gentlemen are walking ad- vertisements for 1Sest End tailors, Society sandwichmen, so to speak, who receive a handsome weekly sal- ary and their clothes gratis, in re- turn for moving in fashionable circles and casually remarking that eo and so is "tny tailor," DOG BARBERS AND DOLL DOC- TORS.

Novel as this calling is in London, it has long been pursued by ladies in Paris, who have sot up several dog - barbers' establishments, especially on the banks of the Seine. The reason wby this industry has flourished in Paris is due to the prevalence of 010 flat system, which severely limits the accommodation for washing and bar- bering dogs. Several professional dolls' doctors exist in London. There are two hos- pitals for these favorite toys of girl- hood, one in the Waterloo Bridge Road, the other in the Fulham Road. The proprietord or both make largo incomes by repairing the broken dolls of the children of Royalty and the aristocracy. Thanks to the existence of these hospitals, the same dolls have served as the playthings for three generations of some noble houses. To live by decanting seems incredi- ble; yet there are men la London to- day who receive money for "dream- ing" the winners of raceg. They charge large feee, and when they re- ceive a commission, cat a heavy snp- pee and proceed to bed in the hope of dreaming of a horse race. BETS ON DREAMS.
