There Is nothing in this world that We think
90 much OF as we do of women. Our mother
Is wonan--wife sisters. pretty cousins are
all women and the daughters viii be II theav-
en- spare thcmn they live long enough. And
then there is love of women IN general, which I
VIC do not deny. A enc, magnificent specimen
Of the sex, full OF life and heal,h--a ripe red
cheek and lip, and flashing eye, IS something |
that does one good 10 look at, as she ELIMINATES
the hanidrum sidewalks OF everyday streets
North giycr steamboat under full Roadway, |
with co,ors flying, is rather pretty sight
rather stirring and inspiring; and we pull up |
our tired nag on the shore to see her pass, and |
admire the swell she cuts. Comparatively, how |
ever the steamer sinks into insignitcanee, or |
some other very deep water by the side OF
well kept, well dressed woman. There IS no
rubbing it ont; women are an ornament, charm
blessing, beauty and bliss Of life, (mans life we

Well, then, after the jacket and drawers are on
and the wooden hose, there is nothing to hinder
the perfection of the dress after the usual mode.
! The woman is on the direct road to preservation
and no damage done to her looks.
Expose to the air daily. As preparation Tor
this put the feet already enclosed in WOODEN
hose (premising still that the season is winter
in thick-soled shoes or in regular Wellington
boots. The thin slippers and the Ain cold rub

tor of caloric could hard be found than they
fines the moister of the foot, and every moment
it is worn the worse it becomes, until the con.
nection of the foot with ice beneath it is almost
as direct as if no medium inte,'posed. We would
not discourage rubbers over thick shoes to be
worn during brief passages. They are very use
full and convenient, but they never should be
relied upon as the main protection of the feet.
Having the feet well protected, pay the next
attention to the chest. The chests the reposito

from the effect of cold upon her limbs or hands
or head but let the cold strike through her
clothing upon he chest and off go her teeth in

motion. One sudden and severe impression Of
cold upon the chest has slain its tens of thou
