flavor. Now, as men are so dependent up
on women for life's choicest blessings, pro-
per mode of preserving them becomes OF
great moment, and we are sure that the pub
lie will thank us for an unfailable receipt.
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
impressions made upon these organs through
the skin, that the shiver comes. 1t is ma
ture's quake-the alarm bell-at the onset
of danger A woman never shlvers 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
a commotion One sudden and severe I'M
preston of cold upon the chest has slain its
tens of thousands Therefore while the feet
are we'll looked after, never forget the chest.
These points attended to, the natural con-
nections of the dress will supply the rest,
and the woman is ready for the air. Now
let her visit her neighbors, go shopping,
call upon the poor, and talk for the good of
lit, for the fun of it.
Keep away from the stove or register
Air that is dry or burnt, more or less charg-
ed with gasses evolved by the fuel, is pos-
on. Go up stairs and make the beds with
mittens on. Fly around the house like mad,
and ventilate the rooms. Don't sit pent up
in single room with double windows
Fruit will not retain its full form and favor
in air tight cans neither will women.-
They need air. IF the shiver comes on du-
ring these operations, go 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
Icessary as air, and brown tan is far pre-
ferablc, even as matter of beauty, to a
sickly paleness Of complexion.
Thus much in regard to the physical
means for preservation. There arc moral
means no less important. Every woman
should be married to an excellent man
Marriage, 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 un-
wound that gets out of order. The sweet
sympathies evolved in the relations of the
family, the new energies developed by new
RESPONSIBILITIES, the new compensation for-
ali outlays of strengtn, brings about de-
lightful play Of the heart and intellect which,
in their reaction upon the body, produces
an effect that is nothing less than preserva-
ton. Then, there is a higher moral power
than this-one which we speak Of soberly
and honestly. No one is completely ly armed
ao,;nst tho encroachiDc 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 heighten every personal
power and charm that she possesses.
There! you have the receipt. Some Of
it is in sportive form, but it is not the less
sober truth. 1t has within it the cure for
many disease-the preventive for more
It light be made longer but when we see
its prescriptions universally adopted, it viii
be time to bring forward the remainder.
