advantage of SiM Waistcoufs.-The power OF
electricity over the body is well known; in fact,
we can never enjoy health nor comfort without
proper portion of it in the system. When this
portion is deficient, feel langud and heavy, and
very fooshly pronounce iible on the blood, which
lis quite Innocent while we never suspect the damp
atmosphere Of robbing US OF our eectricity.-Tet

or frosty, we feel light and spirited, because dry
lair is slow conductor Of electricity, and leaves as
Ito enjoy its Inquiries. In moist or rainy weather
we feel oppressed and drowsy because all moisture
greedy absorbs our electricity, which is the buoy
ant cordial OF the body. To remedy this inconve-
nience we have only to discover a good non-con-
duc.or of electricity to prevent its escape from the
body and this we have in silk, which is SO excel
lent non conductor that the thunderhol or the
forked lightning itself, could not pass through the
thinnest silk handkerchief, provided always that it
be quite dry. Those therefore who are apt to
become low spirited and listless in damp weather,
wiz find silk waiscoas, drawers, and stockings, the
most powerful Of all cordals. Flannel is also
good but nothing powerful as silk. Wash 'eath-
er is likewise non-conductor OF electricity, and
may be used by those who prefer 1t. But silk is
by far the best and those no dislike TO wear fan

stituting cotton Shirts drawers, and stockings, with
silk ones over them; where more heat is requr-
ed flannel ones between the cotton and the silk for

give reasons for our advice, and our readers may
depend on the philosophy Of these Recommendations

Silk, indeed, should be used in every possible way

stifeners of neckclohs, and in the entire backs
