WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUBBER.-We
have noticed that many persons wear In
dia rubber overshoes in cold dry weather,
to keep their feet warm. This is an iniu-
rious and evil practice. India rubber shoes
are very comfortable and convenient for
covering the feet during wet and sloppy
weather, but they should never be worn
on any other occasion; their sole use
should be to keep out the water They
should, however therefore, be put oil
whenever the wearer enters the house.
and be worn as little as possible, because
they are alright and restrain the pers-
peration Of the feet. The air cannot be-
excluded from them for any length Of
time, without sensibly affecting the health.
IL is our opinion that no habit tends moro
10 good health, than clean feet, and clean
dry stockings, so as 70 allow the free pres
piration Of the neither extremitics.

BOTANY OF CALIFoRINA.--California
has n peculiar botany. The trees are
life and yet unlike those of the Atlantic
States and Europe. There are oak and
pine and spruce and sycamore and buck
eye trees, but yet any observant man
secs at glance that they differ in many
important particulars from the tree known
by those names elsewhere. The botanists
say that California is n distinct botanical
district, and that its vegetation was first
produced on its own soil, and has not
been derived from, or communicated to,
any other continent or botanical district
by the course Of nature.
