We masuelines sometimes speak ameer ingly of the earnest devtin paid to fashion hb- the female sex; but with what lfcaleia? True, ther, is in our female f:lhions a se ming fif not real) macrifiec of convenieneos, comfort, ppriWety, gori taste, and eves health at the imperative demrudls of fashion in the materials and make-ip of 98 articles of dress and in tie nri-nuer of wearing the hair. But who are to blade? We, her worshippers, defenders, adairs and pitears do not tolerate in her any departure from the rules ef the goddles fashi.x,, and if there S any guilt or foolihneuhess attached to th'followers of this science I do not see why we men should not 1 wear a part 0f it+or fela we have taught our tals that in hehfashion of our apparel we ull net oeterate much i-eeavee to pºlease tlhem, still we will let our I,arbor (if we tolerate one at all) play all manner of antics with our distinguishing feature, the board. The reanl dliffecrenee in the folly of the two sexes is that the females f;,llow an almost exact uniiormity in their coiffures, while the men, as far as able, practice an infllnite diversity. I have lately amused myelf by look ing over the lik'a:ses~o of noted men of the lresent age as they aloear in our !tl ,lieatitus, an1 noticing the differences in tihe manner in which they are repre sentedt as wearing the beard. In nine nnmbers of the Ph r nological Journal of 1873 I find 35 likenesses of eminent men, and in these many styles are shown. I have also the likenesses of 38 eminent men r-siding in the Fifth Congressional District of the State of Michigan, which show great diversity of style. Now let us moralize over these facts. It has been said '"there was nothing made in vain," and I have heard this class of men debating the question whether or not the beard of man was in ilieted as a punishment for original sin. As for me, I verily believe it a blessing. and I agree with Dr. Holland in advising "if you have a beard, wear it," and if yon ask me, as others have, "Why, if the heard is a blessing was it not given to woman?" My reply will be ! don't Xo, neither am I soe to criticise i the works of the Creator, but to admit is that '"ie doeth all things well." Of the n eminent men of the age it seemas that " only 16 out of 78, oress than 22 pert cent., hold to the above doctrine, but t, undertake to improve upon the works of the Almihty.-- rat 2W Yorcr. T ladmmiu lnarslange. i A recent essayist says that marriage i' among the Mohammedans carries with Is it rights of inheritance, and the dower 't settled upon the wife msr. ad often w does, interfere with the ights of ordinary " heirs. Dower is held to be the prkie l proised or paid by the husband for the th possaiaon tet wife's person. If un paid, it is a debt oc the husland's estate. p It takes precedence of all claims bIy in- w' heritanee, and depends by inheritance to Ic the wife's heirs. The amount of dower is entirely arbitrary, audvaries according he tothe peition in life, and the youlth, a -eanty, and aempllementa of then bride. It is settled by the relatives d fahsvtoLheosrr: ; but if amarciage an km has bed upon, and the amount th of doweris disputed, the Magistrate has in1 authority to determine the just amount. ha Divorce is very easy matter under the' wa Mohammedan law 'ad may be effected at the mere will of the husband; bat a wl man can not repudiate his wife without ai. her dower; so it sometimes hap- p willing to di himself of the power of dlivoree, will te to an amount of no dower which it it quite impossible for bimodimsharge ]trthis tihereis do swpsbut pafnet, or remission on the qu pert of thewife.

D.At says inalate lecture : Wlhat t vert lie the plan of treatment decidedl Ipon rest is the first principle to incul cote in v.ry severe headache. Rent, which the busy man and anxiousmother Ic:t-not obtain so long as they can man age to keep about, is one of the first rilnedics for every headache, and we should never cease to enforce it. The btrain, when excited, s much needs Irrnet and relme as a fractured limb r an ilnlamed reye ; it is obvious that the ehanceS of sheoning the seiure and arre'sting the pain 1 depend on our I ,wer to have this carried out actuallU. It i. a practiecal lesson to keep stadil y illi view in that theremay lurk ibehind a .inplh. headache some lesion of unknown iiuiagqitdt.le, which may remain stationa rv if quietude canl be maintained. Thera is a ipoint worth attending to in the treatment of all headaches. It is that the head be elevated at night, and the pillow hard; for if it be soft the head sinks into it and becomes hot, which, with some people, is enough to provoke an attack in tihe morning if sleep has Iuen long and heavy. ExcePr a Turkish bath, nothing is more efficacious in the sore throat of children or adults than a wet compress to the throat. Double a towel two or tthree times, so as to make a pad that will lit snngly under the chin and over the throat, and let it extend around trvm ear to car. Then bind a thickly fa ,.1, 1 towel over the wet pad, having the towel wide emugh to overlap the ea igesof the pad. It is bestto pasthis ,luttr (.ove.ring over the head, and not aremnd the neck after the style of a crag Vat, the object being to exclude the air so, iu to keep up a perspiration over the ,liea.ctld laurts. But if the soreness is i,w down (iMn the throat, the outside towel may be !lmined around the meck ; .}et, when this is done, it is much more diflieltt to exclude the air. The wet t', nipres, may be put on cold or warm; Ihut, when cold, it soon becomes warm from the heat of the skin, and is really a warm vapor lath. When the ad ts~e.n off, the throat should be waihedio cdIl water to cl~,.* thanI lares, and th n well driedl with a towel.
