Evolutions of words. â€" It is interesting to trace the evolutions of words and ex- pressions. Cultivated people say "How do you do " Those who are less pricise say "Howdy do " In the backwoods of Tennessee they say "Howdy?" The noble red man of the West says "How?" While the cat on tlie fence says "Ow?" Never go to bed with cold or damp feet. Never lean with the back upon any- thing that is cold. Never begin a journey until the break- fast has been eaten. Never take warm drinks and then immediately go out into the cold. Never omit regular bathing, for un- less the skin is in regular condition the cold will close the pores and favor con- gestion or other diseases. After exercise of any kind never ride in an open carria«;e or near the window, of a car for a moment it is dangerous to health or evennLife. When hoarse, speak as little as pos- sible until the hoarsensss is recovered from, else the yoice may be permanently lost or difficulties of the throat be pro- duced. Merely warm the back by the fire, and never continue keeping the back exposed to the heat after it has become comfortably warm. ' To do otherwise is debihtating. Wlien going from a warm atmosphere into a cooler one keep your mouth al- nnost closed, so that the air may be warmed by its passage through the nose ere it reaches the lungs. Never stand still in cold weather, es- pecially after haying taken a shght de- gree of exercise, and always ayoid stand- ing on ice or snow, where a person is exposed to cold wind. Keep the back erpecially between the shoulder blades, well covered also the chest well protected. In sleeping in a cold room establish the habit of breath- ing through the nose, and never with the open mouth. â€" New York Mail and Express. ttSSBt AKOrrWILLBE G E N U I N E! -FOR- The Month of February Only- TO GIVE ME THE USE OF $400 WHICH IS LOCKED UP IN STOCK, I will allow following cuts off my regular unchanged prices, marked as usual in plain figures â€" One fifth off all grades of Watches and Clocks.

When members of a church threaten under the slightest real or even imagin- ary provocation to "Leave the church," "To go somewhere else," what does it mean If the minister does not do ex- actly what some people think he ought to; if a fellow-member has given offence in word or deed if the smging does not suit, straightway there is heard the threat "I'll leave the church," "I'll re- sign." What does it mean Simply that they are not true members of the church at allâ€" are not members from conviction they do not even know what church membership is. Does it mean that they are to care for their own notions and vvishes only and not a par- ticle for the peace and prosperity of the church or does it mean that they are selfish and nu-Christ-hke, and haye not yet learned the meaning of the Saviour's words "If any man will come after me let bun deny himself, 2,â€" fChristian World.

TOBOKTO, on My advice to you, young mfen, is to make up your minds what you intend doing and then do it. Success is with- in your grasp if you would only follow this rule. Be honest and never Sfear to do what is right. A dishonest dollar will do you no good. You can not keep it, therefore do not eyer have one. Cultivate a happy disposition and a goodtewper. Start two young men in life with the same capacities and eq- naUy endowed, but with opposite dis- position and temper, and ninety-nifle times out of a hundred that man wiU come out victorious m the battie of life, who has the sunshine of life in his com. Never was a better time for than now. Some people positi(m, young men talk of ho chance for a yonng man. and prosperity. The members appeal to all the friends of Temperance to come out and join them, so as to unite the temperance element of the community in the warfare aoainst the giant evil of Intemperance, which is so effectual, bhghting the hopes aud destroying the usefulness and influence of so many of the fairest and noblest of mankind and causing so much sorrow and suffering in our land The enemy we combat is powerful and crafty, and has on his side vast resources, and wealth in abundance, and it is only by a united effort that his power can be, destroyed. On our side we have the power of God and the ever- lasting principals of Iruth and Rightr eonsness and with these and Faithful- ness on the part of our members, suc- cess is sure as "Greater is Hi that is Sanjci-'oiui ComiterfeitB.
