Fiuger.rings and folderols may do to
look at. but they add nothing TO the val

If you know how to talx. do it naturally,
and not be SO distressingly polite as to
spoil all you say. If your hair is straight,
don't put on the curling tongs to make
people believe it is not. II your neck is
dark. wear a lace collar. but don't be SO
foolish as 10 daub on paint, thinking that
people are so blind as MOTTO see it. And
if your cheeks are not ROSY, don't apply
pink saucrrs. for the deception will be de-
tected, and you will be laughed OF. y,oY
Finally. girls, listan to the counsel Of
your mothers. and ask their advice in ev-
erything. Think less Of fashion than you
do VI home duties-less Of romance than
you do Of the realities Of life; and instead
Of trying to catch beaux, strive to make
yourself worthy Of being caught by them.

what to do in the Case OF Accidents
II man faints away, instead Of yell
ling out like savage, or running toolift
him up, lay him at full length on his back
on the floor, loosen the clothing, push
the crowd away so asto allow the air to
him, and let him alone. Dashing water
over person in a simple fainting Git is a
barbarity, and soils the clothing unneces-
sarily. The Philosophy Of fainling- fit
is, the heart fails 10 send the proper sup.
| ply Of blood to the brain, il the person is
erect, that blood has to be thrown up hill
but..if lying down, it has to be projected
horizontily--which requires less power:
is apparent. f.i .oear n5m y1a
II e person swallows poison, deliber-
ately or by chance instead o t breaking
out.into multitudinous and incoherent ex-
clamations, despatch some. one for doc
tor; meanwhile run to the kitchen, ge'
half a glass Of water in anything :hat is
handy put into it ta..teaspoonful Of salt and
as much ground mustard. stir it in an in
stant, catch firm hold Of the persons
nose the mouth will soon fly open then down
with the mixture, and in second or two
up will come the poison. This will an
swer in larger number of cases than any
other. Ifby this time, the physician has
not arrived, make the patient swallow the
white Of an egg, followed by strong cup
Of coffee (because these nullify a larger
number Of poisons than any other access
ible articles, and antidotes for any poison
that may remain in the stomach.
If limb or any other part Of the body
is severely cut, and the blood comes out
by spirits or jerks, PER sALrEM, as doctors
say, be in hurry, or the man will be dead
in FIVE minutes; there is no time to talk or
send for a physician: say nothing. out
with your handkerchief, throw it around
the limb, then, twist it al ound, tighter un-
til the blood ceases to flow. But stop, it
does no good. Why? Because only a
severed artery throws blood out in jets.
and arteries get their blood from the heart; /;
hence, to stop the flow, the remedy must
be applied between the heart and the
wounded spot-in other words, above the
wound. If a vein has been severed, the
blood would have flowed in a regular
stream, on the other hand, the tie should
be applied below the wound, or on the
other side Of the wound from the heart, be-
cause the blood in the veins flows towards
the heart, and there is no need Of such
great hurry. qye
