SALT.-Salt is indispensable to man as a
part of his food. Ii is stated that with every
bushel of flour, about one pound of salt is
used in making bread alone. Every adult
consumes about two ounces of salt weekly.
The omission of proper quantity of it in
our food favors the engendering of disease.
We read that when the ancient laws of Hol-
land ordained men TO be kept on bread alone,
uninixe9wilh saIt,sas the seSerest punish-
ment that could be inflicted upon them in
their moist climate, the effect was horrible;
the wretched criminals are said TO have been
devoured by worms. Mungo Park men,
tions that he suffered great inconvenience
from the scarcity of this article; "The long
use ofvegetables created so painful long.
ing for salt, no words can sufficiently de-
scribe it," Almost all graminivorous ami.
mails seem to have the same necessity for
the use of salt in their food as man. An ex-
emption from the rot is generally enjoyed
by sheep fed on the salt marshes, or when
salt is regularly mixed with their food. In
the States La Plata, in South America, the
sheep and cattle, when they discover pit
of salt clay, rush to feed npon it; andin the
struggle, many are trodden 10 death. In
Upper Canada the cattle have an abundance
of wild pasture TO browse on in the woods;
but once a .off1ght they return TO the farm
of their own accord, in order to obtain lit
lie salt and when they have eaten it, mix
ed with their fodder, return again 10 the
woods. Salt is now used extensively in
England and all Europe, for fattening cattle.
In Spain, they attribute the fneness oftheir
wool 10 the quantity of salt given 10 their
sheep. In England, one thousand sheep
consume at the rate of ton of salt annual

THE rIRr LONG TAIL COAT.

We do not believe that any boy ever put
on his first long tailed coat without sence
OF shame. He first twists his back half off
looking at it ir the glass, and then when he
steps out of doors it seems to him as if all
creation was on broad grin. The sun
laughs in the sky; the cows turn TO look at
him; there are faces at every window, his
very shadow mocks him. When he walks
by the cottage where Jane lives, he dare
not look up for his life. The very boards
crack with consciousness of the strange
spectacle, and the old pair Of pantaloons
that stop light in the garret window nod
with derision. If he is obliged TO pass
group of men and boys, the trial assumes
its most terrific stage. His legs gets all
mixed up with embarrassment, and the flap
of the dangling appendage is felt upon them,
moved by the wind of his own agitation :;
he could ieel worse were it a dshcloth,
worn as badge of disgrace. It.is happy
time for him when he gets to church and
sits down with coat tails under him; but
he is still apprehensive with thinking of
the Sunday school, and wonders il any of
the children will ask him to "swing his
long tail blue"

CuAppED HANDs.-These are very common
"about these days" cold weather chllls
the surface of the skin and prevents free
circulation of the blood, and consequent
warmth, ana thus induces or aggravates
the difficulty One of the primary causes
of chapping the skin is the actiorof soap.
The aikali in this eats away the cuticle or
outer skin, and thus destroys the natural
covering. In cold weather especially the
hands should always Be thoroughly rinsed
in clean water after washing them with soap.
1t will be found highly beneficial TO wash
the skin in weak solution of vinegar and
water. after using soap, and then rinse in
clean water. The aecetic acid of the vine.
gar neutralizes the alkali of the soap, and
prevents the further action upon the skin,

are taken from the washing water. when
ever we find it necessary 10 wash with soap,
we rinse the hands in dilute vinegar, or a
very weak solution of any acid, such as a
few drops of oil of vitro (sclphric acid)
mur!atic (hydro. cholric) acid, or nitric acid
(aqua-fortic) in quart of water. Any of
these acids will neutralize the alkali of the
soap. Since adopting this practice we have
never been trouble in the least with chap
ped or even rough hands, though we do
not put on gloves or mittens half dozen
times year.
We would add foriher, that in washing
the hands it is usually better to use stiff
brush instead of soap, unless they chance
