AYeteran of the French Array,

There is now living on the Boulevard
de la Chapelle St. Denis an old soldier
named Hermand, who was born on the
30th of November, 1850, and therefore
is now in his 10Sth year. He has receiv-
ed no less than forty-two wounds, and has
undergone the operation Of trepanning.
Two years ago he was able to read with
out glasses, had the use of his hearing
and took long walks alone. He retains
his memory in an extraordinary degree,
and relates, without mistaking name or
date, all the different scenes through
which he has passed, His fine face serv-
ed as model 10 AIRY Scheffer for one of
his pictures, and he is also represented in
several other pictures by the first French
masters. The Emperor has generously
added 120 francs to the small pension
which hefeceives, and has conferred on
him marks of his benefcence.

The fear of the weather has sent naUl-
tiludes to the grave, who otherwise might
have lived in health many years longer.
The fierce north wind and the furious
slow-storm kill comparatively few, while
hot winter rooms and crisping simmer
suns have countless hecatombs of human
victims to attest their power. Except in
localities where malignant miasm prevail,
ard that only in warm weather, outdoor
life is the healthiest and happiest, from
the tropics to the poles.
The general fact speaks for itself, that
persons who are out Of doors most, take
cold least. In some parts of the country
near one-half of the adult deaths are
from diseases of the air passages. These
ailments arise from taking cold in soulti
way or other; and surely the reader will
take some interest IN a subject, which by
at least one chance out Of four, his own
life may be lost. #aa
Allcolds arise from one Of two causes.
lst. By getting cool too quick afterex-
ercise, either as to the whole body, or any
part of it.
2. By being chilled, and remaining
SO for long time, from the want of ex-
ercise. l,. af glc
To avoid colds from the former. we
have only to go to FIRE the moment the
exercises cease in the winter. IF in sum-
mer, repair at once to a closed room, and
there remain with the same clothing on,
until cooled of. -, br- Tnr
To avoid colds from the latter cause,
and these engender the most speedily fa-
tai diseases, such as pleurisis, Group, and
inflammation of the lungs, called pneunio-
Mas, we have only to compel ourselves 20
walk with sufficient vigor to keep off a
! feeling of chilliness. Attention TO pre-
cept contained in less than dozen words,
would add twenty years to the average Of
civilized life. .dg. 1ss
Keep away chilliness by exercise cool
off slowly. Then you will never take
cold, in door or our.

Prof. Rogers on English Coal.

This distinguished American savant,
who has just accepted a chair in the Uni
versity of Glasgow, Scotland, in writing
of the physical power which England de-
rives from the transformation of the la
tent power of coal into active force, states
the following facts:
"Each acre of coal seam, four feet in
thickness, and yielding one yard net of
pure fuel, is equivalent to about s.
600. tons; and possesses, therefore, re-
serve of mechanical strength in It's fuel
equal to the Efe-labor of more than 600
men. Each square mile of one such sim
gle coal bed contains 100000 tons of
fuel; equivalent to 100000 of men la
boring through twenty years of their ripe
strength. Assuming, for calculation. thai
10000, 900 tons out of the present annual
products,o the British coal mines, (name.
ly, 65,000,000,) are applied to the pro.
duetion of mechanical power, then Eng
land annually summons to her aid an ar
my of 100000 fresh men pledged t.
exert their fullest strength through TWEEN
ty years. Her actual annual expenditure
of power then is represented by $4,000,
900 of able bodied laborers. The laten
strength resident in the whole coal pro
duct Of the kingdom may, by the sam,
process, be calculated at more than 400,
600, 900 Of strong men, more than double
the number of adult males now upon tht
elobe." " --
