HOW TO PRESERVE WOMEN.


HOW TO PRESERVE WOMEN.
We find the following in the l.afourche

he may be, observes well of the Republic

Now, as men are so dependent upon women.

. Have the feet well protected, then pay the
next attention to the chest. The chest is the
repository of the vital organs. There abide
the heart and lungs. 1t is from the impress
sions made upon these organs through the
skin, that the shver comes. II is natures

ger A woman never shivers from the effect
Of cold upon her limbs, or hands, or head; but
let the cold strike through her clothing on
her chest, and off go her teeth into chatter,
and the whole organism is in cOmmotion.-
One sudden and severe impression of cold
upon the chest has slain its tens of thousands.
Therefore, while the feet are well Looked af-
ter, never forget the chest. These points at
tended to, the natural connections OF the
dress will supply the rest, and the woman is
ready for the air. Now let her visit her neigh
bors, 90 shopping, call upon the poor, and
walk for the good of it, for the fun of it.
Keep away from the stove or register. Air

ventlate the rooms. Don't sit pent up in
single room with double windows. Fruit will

If the SILVER comes on during these opera
items, 60 directly and put on something more
about the chest.
Again, do not live in dark rooms. Light
fades the carpet, but it feeds the flower. No
living animal or vegetable can enjoy health in
darkness. Light is almost rs necessary rs

Thus much in regard to the physical

rage, it is true, brings care and wear, but it Is
the ring that is worn that keeps bright, and
the watch that lies still and unwound that
gets out Of order. The sweet sympathles
evolved in the relations Of the family, the new
energies developed by new responsibilities,
tho new compensation for all OUTLAWS of
strength, brings about delightful play of the
heart and intellect which, in their rvaction
upon the body, produces an effect that is
nothing less than preservation. Then, there
is n higher moral power than this-one which
we speak of soberly and honestly. No one
is completely armed against the encroaching
ills of life, who has in the heart no place for
religion. The calmness, the patience, and the
Joy and hope that are in possession of that
woman whose heart is right in its highest
relation can never fail to preserve and height
en- every personal power and charm that she
possesses.
