 '^,'i- :«*«» lis* 5 I 'â- , V HEALTH. How to Take Gold. A great many people conatantty troubled with colds, complain that they do not know how they have taken cold. For the benefit of rooh, we suggest a few rf the ways in which colds may be readily taken and are usually contracted. It is a damp, drizzly day. It does' not rain hard enough to wear a mackintosh or carry an umbrella. You want to run into the next door neighbors. Hardly worth while to put on your rubbers for BO short a journey, so you leave them at home. You come back with the eoles of your shoes damp. You have chilled the bottom cf your feet, one of the most suscep- tible portions of your body. The next morning you awake with a stuffed feelmg m the head, and soreness and stiffness in the throat or a hupky condition of the voice and you wonder how you could have caught such a cold. Here is another way It is a rather chiUy, damp day, but it does not rain at all. How- ever, the pavement is cold and damp from the precipitation of moisture, though ^not damp or cold enough so that you think it worth while to put on overshoes to go down town on an errand. For half an hour, the feet, clai with thin-soled shoes or boots, are exposed to the chilling contact with cold stone slabs or concrete. A few hours after- wards you begin to feel or imagine that you have taken cM in consequence of a change in the weather whereas it was in conse- quenoe of want of a change of shoes. Another way You have occasion to take a long walk or ride in the rain. You thoroughly protect yourself with rubbers for the feet, and a mackintosh, which covers the rest of the body. The impervious rub- ber cloth keeps the rain from wetting your clothing, but at the same time retains and condenses in the earments the watery vapor which ia constantly escaping from the skm, and which amounts to several ounces in the course of a few hours. You return home without having received a particle of mois- ture from the outside, but with the clothing thoroughly damp by the moisture produced beneath the protective covering of the mackintosh. Considering your garments perfectly dry, you do not think a change necessary, and sit down indocrs without specicJ precaution to avoid a draught or other causes of rapid evaporation, in con- sequence of which you soon become chilly by the evaporation of the moisture from your clothing. You feel slight chills creep- ing about the spine. A hearty sneeze and a stuffed feeling in the nose, and pretty soon a frequent necessity for using the handker- chief, indicate that you have taken cold and do you wonder where That getting the feet wet, leaving the hair about the neck damp, getting wet in the rain, neglecting to change the clothing and sundry other indiscretions of like character, are causes of taking cold, it is unnecessary to state, as all sensiole people may be supposed to know that such ex- posures are hazardous. Necessary fiuies of Sleep- There is no tact more clearly established in the physiology of man than this, that the brain expends its energies and itself during â-  the hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep. If the re- cuperation does not equal the expenditure, the brain withers this is insanity. Thus it. is that in English history, persons who were condemnrd te death by being prevent- ed from sleeping, always died raving mani- acs thus, it is also, that those who are starved to death become insane, â€" the brain is not nourished, and they cannot sleep. The practical inferences are these (1) those who think most, who do most brain work, require most sleep (2) that time "saved " from necessary sleep is in- fallibly destructive to mind, body and es- tate (3) give yourself, your children, your servants, give all that are under you, tho fullest amount of sleep they will take, by cempelling them to go to bed at some regu- lar, early hour, and to rise in the morning the moment they awake and within a fort- night, nature, with almost the regularity of the rising sun, will unloose the bonds of sleep the moment enough repose has been secured for the wants of the system. This is the only safe and sufficient rule and as to the question of how much sleep any one requires, each must be a rule for himself great Nature will never fail to write it on 5 to the observer under the regulations just given. To insure long life, recreation should be a part of our daily life. It makes the busy man thoughtful, and keeps the thoughtful man busy. It insures health, success, and the accomplishment of more work in time. ventilated witii an outlay Of fifty dollars.

A suit of taghtly wool^ underclothing protects the body nearly as much as an overcoat, and is mucb less expensive. If your house is suppUed with a fresh air duct, and it ought to b«wif it U not, be care- ful to *ee that it is clear of leaves, dust, cobwebs, or whatever may have lodged in it during the summer months, when it was not depended upon for a fresh-air supply. Sometimes small animals get into the fresh- air duct and die, and the resulting decom- position poisons the air of the whole house.

In harmony with the prevailing custom, the reader, if a householder Uving »» the country or in a country village, has probab- ly made arrangements for " banking up the house" with earth, or straw, or stable Ut- ter, to keep the cellar from freezing. Ar- rangemente of this sort are economical to the extent that it is a good means of pie- venting ^freczmg in the collar, but it is a very costly proceeding in relation to he^th. An nnventilated cellar fiUed with vegetables and various decomposing substances is often a most prolific source of disease, pouring up a constant stream of gaseous poison into the living-rooms above. Vegetable cellars should be wholly disconnected from human habita- tions. If they must be tolerated, they should be well ventilated. littie attention, and is â- --=-.

Women have cleared off the timber from PEESONAL. Charles Darwin found backgammon^ great mental relaxation, and he was very fond of novels for the same purpose. The great naturalist did most of his writing sitting in a large horse hair chair by the fire, upon a board stretched across the arms. When he had many or long letters to write he dictated them from rough copies written on the backs of manuscripte or proof -sheete. He kept all the letters he receivedâ€" a habit caught from his father. When his letters were finished he lay on a sofa in his bedroom and had novelB read him, while he smoked a cigarette or regaled his nostrils with sauff. A Buffalo milkman wears a nickel five- cent piece as a watch charm, and gives this reason " Over a year ago I took this nickel which was then beautifully gold plated, as a $5 gold piece, in payment of a bill. A« soon as I detected the fraud I took it back to the woman who passed it on me, but she refused to make it good. So I fastened it to my watch chain and kept on supplying her with milk. But now every day 1 make her quart one-fourth water, and once a week I credit her with one-fourth the amount of her milk bill. When the sum total stand- ing to her credit is §4.95 she shall have pure milk once more, and not until then. She knows the milk is watered, but whenever she shows an inclination to complain, I han- dle the nickel and say that my milk is as • P'lre as gold.' That settles it.^' By far the youngest of the four Presidento that the French republic has had during the sixteen years of its existence is M. Cumot, whose election, some days ago, was satisfac- tory all around. The first President, M. Thiers, was 74 years of age when elected in 1871, and in his seventy -seventh year when he resigned the office. Gen. MacMahon was over 65 when he became President in 1873, and nearly seventy when his Presidency ended. M. Grevy was 64 when elected President in 1877, and 74 when he lesigned a fortnight ago. But M. Camot was bom as late as 1837, and consequently only 50 years old when raised to the office of Pre- sident. M. Camot is one of the three com- ,jaratively young men among the rulers of the powers of Europe. Queen Victoria is in the sixty-ninth year of her age the Kaiser William is in his ninety- first year Francis Joseph -is in his fifty-eighth Christian IX. is on the verge of seventy, and Leopold II. is close to fifty -three. The two younger rulers besides M. Camot are Alexander III., who ia forty-two, and Hum- bert IV., who is forty-three. Thus Presi- dent Camot of the French republic is tke youngest of the c ief rulers of Europe, and is also younger by a half year than Pre- sident Cleveland of the American republic. In Training for Dyspepsia. Do not give your children crackers or cookies, or even bread and butter, between meels. The practice destroys their appe- tite for the{regular meals, interferes with di- gestion, makes them sallow, subject to var- ious maladies, a ready prey for serious di- seases, and tells frightiuUy upon their dis- positiona. The process of digestion is a highly-com- plicated one, which goes on with wonderful smoothness in a healthy stomach, if it is not interrupted but interruptions are firm- ly resented, and punished by Buffering, sooner or later. A learned Frmchman, talfcing of the perfect and wonderful action' of the stomach, once said " And yon pat all this machinery to work for just one poor cracker." But i^ter all, it is not t^e settii^ it to work that does the harm, it is doing it when it is otherwise occupied. The break- fast ia, perhaps, half-digested, and the early processes are throo^ with, and tiie " one poor cracker " is sent down to claim attention, and the prooeaa is began over again, to the neglect of the material already in tiie field.

Butvlatam jaaloiAi^fat, "^^wbMid-^fjhM; _^ ing to believe that they cannot teach to boyi what can be taught to girls Surely each one,boy or girl, can be very early taught to be isehil and can be so gently and skilful^ guided that they will find it aU "as good ta play" to be able to help their mother and others, indoors and out, an^ with teachmg they leam to help themselves. In cities, and in famiUes depen^g on hired help, it may not be so easy. Children are too imitative to be with servanta where work is being done, unless the mother a with them, for what they leam t)f a practi- cal nature should be taught by her, and not caught up by seeing servants do it. Wealth is by no means to be despised, and the rest and ease it may bring is pleasant to the weary but when it frees from all care or responsibility, so that the mother finds no necessity, or, indeed, opportunity, to teach her little ones the firist steps toward useful habits, which they may sorely need in later years, then it ceases to be a blessing and be come^ a curse. Many who begin life poor and reach wealth through years of hard labor forget how much of true, solid pleasure there was after all in this unsuccessful straggle for well-earned prosperity. As the necessity for close application relaxes and they begin to feel the enervating effecto of abundance they forget all the pleasure, and, remember- ing only the hardships, shrink from teaching their children what seems like work, and thus cheat them of the strength and inde- pendence ior which no wealth can com- pensate. But if boys are taught to do girls' work, should not girls be made to reciprocate the favoi and take their turns in doing boys' work What mother would like to see her girls do this But why not Who can ob- ject to it Certainly not the girls them- selves. Isn't it just what many young ladies are seeking to do now, and many young men â€" " children of a larger growth" â€" striving to prevent? If not unnaturally biassed by fashion of canventionalities, it would be difficult to find any who would not gladly do the many iiotle things they can do with rheir brothers, and in the free air and glad Buoshine do their work. Whatever is proper for boys to do, many girls often think " such fun" if theycan oc- casionally share them with them. We refer now to country girls. God help those girls whose home is in the city, and, although but just stepping out of babyhood, have been taught that work of any kind must be neces- sarily lacking in style and refinement How few, then, are the real pleasures the young can find in the open air 1 Nothing that they are allowed to have can equal the enjoy- ments which our country damsels, with their larger inheritance and more abundant real blessings possess, and nothing is. more plea- sant to them than any outdoor enjoyment suited to their age and intelligence. But it is argued that such work must make our girls coarse, romping and hoyden- ish. " Bough, noisy boys are bad enough would you have our gills become like them " Is it the outdoor work that makes them so Is it not rather the overflow of animal spirito, more energertic and dominant in girls, perhaps, that finds no escape but by bouterous and noisy actions T This may not be agreeable to the old and staid, but is oer- tidnly less annoying outdoors than in the house. It promotes health, and is only what we all did, or wanted to do, in our young days. Let our American boys and girls have full swing, as fatf^as at all consis- tent age will soon tame the wild apirits, or restrain a too-exuberant overflow, but no- thing will keep them so within bounds as pleasant b^bor some parts of eadi day. Children are, to be aure, liable to come in contact with coarse, mde matarea â€" ^neither boys nor girls should be expoaed to sach in- fluence if it can be prevented â€" bat that evil is found everywhere, aa often in tiie house as in t^e field we muat go out of thia world to insore safety from such contact. If not inherent in the child's own nature, the in- fluence tending toward evil will not gain a strong foothold, the dross vHll be thrown off and tue pure nature rise uninjured. It has also been aigued against this that untry girl's are seldom 'ladylike or gracetui, and that laboring with their brothers will make them still less so. If thia objection iavalid, then the brothera most be aeparated from the aiatera, for if being^witb them outdoorahaa aaohinjarioua effect, the aame element will f oUow them in- to the honaei. Bat we tkink thia ia a f a!ae oonelnaiwn. We have foond aa lady-like, intelligem^ pure-minded girla in the ooantry aa in the cit^, and often ur aapacior.

H they take pleasure in it. none need object. But when they leave youth behind their own bodies wiU beur witiiess against such continued unna- tural labor. Still, it Is a great blessing for the young to be so equipped that they csji prot- ct themselves against a time when it is possible all they hold dear may depend on their having such knowledge carefully put sway for sudden needs. Not for regular employment should this interchange of em- ployment be inculcated, but that every mem- ber ot a family should be so instructed that there may never be a temporary vacancy about the house that some one, boy or sml, man or woman, shall not be able and will- ing to step in and fill satisfactorily. It may be argued that many things familiar to country girls are not necessary to the li e of the city-bred gul. The harnessing or driv- ing of a horse is cited aa an example. Sup- posing a young lady were driving (a desir- able accomplishment for any girl in city or country), and the harness breaks or becomes unfastened, ought she no; for her own safety to know how to repair tbe mischief Every girl should leam early how each part of the harness must be adjusted, else the pleasure and independence of Oeing able to drive when older will be atteided with much risk, if not with fatal conseqiences. The duty of teaching children to be use- ful and handy in everything cannot be too strongly impressed ipon the minds of parente. And let the* lessons begin when the mind is young aid ready to receive. Early life is the timi when children will best secure knowledge and then they may be prepared to use ii when needed with confidence and self-coitrol. Even if never needed in after life, tie knowledge will not injure any one. â- * Scettie Airlie sad tbe Hair Dye.
