M. Dvelopement of the Lungs. Tne following commendable hints are from Dii Fitche's late wjirki ' Much has, been said riml written upon diet; eaiing and drinking; but I"do notj'e colleci . ever noticing a remark in ;any U riter ori breathing, or the manner of breathing.. Multitudes anil' especially ladies in easy circumstances, contract a vicious and destructive mode of breathing. Thev suppress their breathing and con tract a habit of slNirt, .quick breathing, not cartving the breath half way (low n ihe rhest. arid scarcely expanding the Ion er portions of the chest at all. Lacing the bottom of the chest also greatly in creases this eyil, arid confiims a bad habit of breathing. Children that move about a rertt ileal in ihe open air. anil in no way laCtd, breathe deep and full to-, the botronkof the rhest," and every-pa it of. it. So 'aleo with the most out-door laborers, and persons wlio take a gteat (leal of ex ercise innhe o)-n air. because the luus give lis the power of action and the more exercise we lake, especially out f doors, the .rger ihe lungs become, and Ihe less liable to disease. In all occup.itions that reojuire you to stand, kep the person straight. If, at ble, let it be high raised up nearly to ihe arinHts, so as not lo n.cjuire you to xtoop: you uiH4imiI the employ merit mucn easier not otie-halfso faliguinv: whilst the lorm of the chest, anuS-tbe symmetry of the 'fi ure, w ill remai'i pedet. You . . i have noticed that a vasi many tail laates ioop, whilst a great many short ones are straight. This arises. I think, from the tabu s at which they sit or work, or oc rujiy themselves, or study, being of-a medittni height, far too low for a tall per son, and aboil right for a short person. This should be carefully corrected and regarded, so that each lady may occupy herself at a tabie suited to her, and thus prevent the "possibility or necessity of stooping. Wrdle.
