Garments. X. Vol. VI. No. 1.SWISS-GARMENTS.Fig. 1. An inhabitant of Underwalden.The inhabitants of the Canton of Underwalden in Switzerland are good-natured, but little cultivated people; they are inclin'd to melancholy, for the most part poor, and chiefly maintain themselves by breeding of cattle, which they improve with great industry. Here we behold a cow-herd of this country represented in his festival suit. Fig. 2. A country-girl of Bern.Here presents herself to us a pretty young country-girl of the Canton of Bern, coming from the field and carrying home potatoes, she has dug out. She is lightly dress'd, that she may be able, with more easiness to work. Fig. 3. A cow-herd of Emmenthal.The Emmenthal in the Canton of Bern is very fruitful and famous for it's excellent cheefe. The breeding of cattle is the chief occupation of the inhabitants of this valley. The plate here adjoined represents a cowherd in his ordinary dress, coming very chearfully from his stable, from whence he carries away the earned milk. Fig. 4 and 5. A girl and a young peasant of Entlibuch.The valley of Entlibuch lies in the Canton of Luzern, being renown'd for the manly, proud, honest and open character of it's inhabitants, distinguish'd too by their inclination to Poetry, Satire, Musick and gymnastick exercises, in the last of which they particularly excel. The following plates represent them in their ordinary dress. Fig. 6. A hunter of chamois.Here we view a hunter of chamois of the Swiss-Alps, in his usual clothes, climbing up the ice-mountains with the help of his pointed staff, and his shoes arm'd with pricks. Thus he exposes himself to the most visible dangers, in order to enjoy the pleasure of killing a chamois. | |

Miscell. Subj. LXVIII. Vol. VI. No. 2.THE MANNER OF BUILDING IN SWITZERLAND.Fig. 1. A Swiss peasant's house.In a great part of Switzerland the peasants-houses are larger, more spacious and therefore more commodious too, than in many other countries. This we perceive already in the house here exhibited of a countryman in the Canton Underwalden, which however is proportionally much poorer and ruder, and has more ignorant and less industrious inhabitants, than many other Swiss-Cantons. The said house is a pretty large building; the ground-floor is mured up with stones, because it includes the cellar; the rest is entirely of wood, and the roof is cover'd with large shingles, fasten'd with stones. Fig. 2. A Sennhut.Sennhuts are call'd in Switzerland wooden huts, constructed in the mountain near the Alp-meadows, on which the cows during the whole summer are pasturing, In these huts made of trunks, which are lay'd upon each other (like the Russian bootshouses) the milk is preserv'd and the chieese prepar'd; besides they serve to the cowherds for a shelter and sleeping-place, where their bed under the roof commonly consists but of long grass. Here we see such a hut from within, with all the utensils requisite for preparing cheese; with which the Alpler (as the herdsmen of the Alps are call'd) actually is employ'd; at the same time we perceive his wife with his boy, who are visiting him, and the servant roasting cheese at the fire for these dear guests; for roasted cheese goes here for a great delicacy. Not before winter the Alpler returns with his herd to the valley, where his fixed dwelling is. | |

That it very eafily fokes up the water, every body knows. Bat in what manner this happens, we perceive here, by looking on this little piece of fpunge, magnify'd by the microrcope. The truth is, the whole fpunge confifts of a texture of many nice, flexible hair-channels, which quickly foke in the water and fwell the fpunge. On account •f the foftnefs and flexibility of the little channels the fpunge may be as eafily fqueezed out, lìnee by the fqueeze of the hand the water is again pump'd out, as out of a jack. ■ Fig. 2. The changing taffeta. The varying play of colours, we obferve in the changing taffeta, (as in the V. Vol. Nro. 40. in the Iris papillon) only derives from the many-coloured threads, as the magnifying (b) clearly proves. The warp namely confifts in this cafe of yellow threads, but the woof of purple ones. According as you turn the taffeta, the yellow or the purple colour prevails, or a fine mixture of both colours arifes. | |
