How to Preserve Women.
a CHAPTER OF ExcELLENr ADVICE.

There Is nothing in the world that VIC
think SO much of as women. Our mother
is women-wifo, sister and pretty eous-
ins are women, and the daughters will be,
(Heavon spare them y if they live long
enough. And there is a love of women in
general which VIC do not deny. A fine,
magnificent specimen Of the sex, full of life
and health, ripe red check, and flashing
eye is something that does one good to look
at as she illuminates the humdrum side.

River steamer under full headway, with
colors flying is rather pretty sight-rath.

our nag to see her pass, and admire the
swell she cuts Comparatively, however,
the steamer sinks into insignitcance, or
some other deep water, by the side of
woll.kept, well dressed woman. There is
no rubbing it out; women are the ornament
charm, blessing, beauty and bliss of life
(man's life we mean, Of course.) Any
means, therefore, that can be devised
for preserving them should be publicly
made known. They are different from any
other kind Of fruit You can not do them
up in sugar and set them in a room, with
a paper soaked in brand over their mouths
You can not put them up in cans, sealed
air tight, without injuring their form and
flavor. Now, as men are SO dependent
upon women for their choicest blessings, Il
proper mode FOX preserving them becomes
Of great moment, and we are sure the pub
lie will thank Us for an infallibe receipt:
Have the feet well protected, then pay
the next attention to the chest The chest
is tue repository of the vital organs.-
There abide the heart and lungs. 1t is
from the impression made upon these or
gans, through the skin, that the shivor
comes; it is natures quake-the alarm
bell at the onset of danger. A woman
may never shver from the effect of cold
upon her limbs, or hands or head but let
the cold strike through her clothing on her
chest, and off 60 her teeth into a chatter,
and the Whole organization is in commo-
ton. One sudden and severe impression
Of cold upon the chest has slain its tens of
thousands. Therefore, while the feet are
well looked after, never forget the chest.
These points attended to, the natural con-
coction5 oftho dress Will supply the rest,
and the women is now ready for the air.
now let her visit her ncighbors, go shop
ping, call upon the poor, aud walk for the
good of it, for the fun Of it.
Keep away from the stove or register
Air that is dry or burnt, more or less
charged with gasses evolved by the fuel, is
poison. Go up stairs, and make the beds
with mittcns on. Fly around the house
like mad and ventilate the rooms. Don't
sit pcnt up in single room with double
windows. Fruit will not retain its form
or flavor in air tight cans, neither will wo-
men. They need air. If the shiycr comes
on during these operations, go directly and
Put something more about the breast.
Again, do not live in dark rooms
Light feeds the flowers, No living ami
NAL or vegetable can enjoy health in dark
ness. Light is as necessary as air, and
brown tan is preferable, even as a matter
of beauty, to a sickly palcncss of COM
plcxion.
This much in regard to the physical
means of preservation. There are moral
means important. Every woman should
be married to an excellent man. Mar
riage, it is true brings care and wear; but
it is the ring that is worn that keeps
bright, and the watch that lies still
unwound, that gets out of order. The
sweet sympatAics involved in the family
relation, the new energies developed by
new responsibilities. The new compcnsa-
ton for all outlays of strength bring about
a delightful play upon the heart and intel
lect, which in their reaction upon the body
produce an effect that is nothing less than
preservation. Then there is a higher
moral power than ths-one which We
speak of soberly and reycrenuy. No one
is completely armed against the encroach-
ing ills of life who has in the heart, no
place for religion. The calmnoss, the pa
tionce, and the joy and hope that are in
possession of that women whose heart is
right in its highest relation, can never fail
to preserve and heishton every personal
power and charm that she possesses,
There you have the recipe. Some Of it
is in sportiyc form but it is not the less
