HALL's Journal OF HEALTH.-The Feb
ruary number of this admirable period
cal has been received. Every family in
the land should subscribe for it.,
THE Health Tracts" published OF tho
end of the volumes ore Of the highest
practical valne. We give No. 10 as n
sample:
Rules FOR WINTER.-Never go to bed
with cold or damp feet.
In going into a colder air, keep tho
mouth resolutely closed, that by COM
polling the air to pass circuitously
through the nose and head, it may be-
come warmed before it reaches the
lungs, and thus prevent those shocks
and sudden chills which frequently end
in pleurisy, pneumonia, and other seri-
Gus forms Of disease.
Never sleep with the head in the draft
Of an open door or window.
Let more cover be on the lower limbs
than on the body. Have al extra COW
cring within easy reach in case of a sud.
den and great change of weather du-
ring the night.
Never stand still q moment out of
doors, especially at st~reet-corners, after
having walked wen a short distance.
Never ride near the open window Of
q vehicle for a single half-minute espe-
cially if it has beeen preceded by y.
walk; valuable lives have TINS been lost.
hor good health permanently destroyed.
Never put On q new boot or shoe IN
beginning a Journey.
Never wear India-rubber in cold, dry
weather.
If compelled to face q bitter cold
wind. throw a silk handkerchief over the
face; its agency is wonderful in modi-
flying the cold.
Those who are easily chilled on going
out Of doors should have some cotton
batten attached to the vest OF other
garment, so as to protect the space be-
tween the shoulder-blades behind, the
lungs being attached to the body at that
point; a little there is worth five times
over the chest in front.
Never sit for more than five minutes
at q time with the back against the fire
or stove.
Avoiding sitting against cushions in
the back of pews in churches; if the un-
covered board feels cold, sit erect with
out touching it.
Never begin a journey until breakfast
has been eaten.
After speaking, singing or preaching
in a roomin winter, do not leave it for at
least ten minutes, and even then close
the mouth, PCT on the gloves, wrap up
the neck, and put on the cloak or over
coat before passing out Of the door; the
neglect of these has laid many a good
and useful man in a premature grave.
Never speak under a h~oarseness, es-
pecially if itrequires an effort, or gives
a hurting or a painful feeling, for it
often results in permanent loss Of voice,
a lifelong inyalidism.

1894 young nan recently died in

4"A young a recently died IN
Bangor, Ne. after a life of singular
suffering. When thirteen years of age
he was taken with iufammatory rheu-
matism, and was almost helpless for
two years; he then recovered, but in two
wears thereafter he was attacked again,
and continued entirely helpless and con-
fined to his bed for eighteen years.
There was but one joint, that Of one
thumb, that he could move. He was
obliged to be boIstered up in n posi-
ton, partly ina sitting posture, for the
eighteen years; he could talk and read
well, but could not otherwise stir or
move; his food was made very fine, and
sucked up or mumbled overin his mouth,
as his jaws were ~immovable; he was
nothing but skin and bone but his appe-
tite and general health was good. His
mind was clear, his memory good, and
he was a person of considerable intelli-
gence and quite a reader. He lived
with his parents, a couple of miles from
Bangor, and was kindly cared for by a
patient and attentive mother and other
relatives, during his long and tedious
illness.

nrA ladies, shoemaker in Paris

IeyA ladies' shoemaker in Paris
named Matthew, being hard mp for mo-
ney, lately conceived the idea Of writing
his memoirs, together with, to use his
own expression, "the biography of the
feet" of all his customers. He sent a Cir
cular, together with o proof-sheet to ev.
cry one of them, politely stating that
any lady who might wish her name not
to e in his book must be good
enough to remit him the sun Of l5f.-
The following specimens of the biog-
raphy we're in court, on his trial:
MADAME A-lives Rue, No., first
floor; married in 1874; three children;
pays badly, very difficult to fit, instep
too fiat, two corns and three bunions;
walks awkwardly, and e her shoes
out in the inside very fast.
Madame B., Rue, No., two pair
back; still an old maid; borrows children
to take with her into the Tuileries Gar
den pays her bills, but makes a hard
bargain; feet spreading, toes crowding
one over the other; two corns and a bum
ion.
Madame B., Rue, No., fifth
floor; formerly kept a cookshop; has two
sons, privates in the army of Africa;
two unmarried daughters; gives her
children nothing and never pays until
served with a writ; feet fat, large, and
fat, and very apt to burst the leather, .
great many corns and bunions, all mix.
ed mp together"
Several of tho ladies applied to were
weak enough TO pay the l5f, but others
| complained to the police, and the liters-
ry shoemaker was condemned, for swim.
! ding, 70 a months Imprisonment.

sa-The New York correspondent of
the Boston Journal, in referring to som
of the queer customs among the ladies'
here, refers to the almost universal hab-
it of chewing gum, and adds Another
custom is the chewing of a small arO-
matte seed called the caromel; it is quite
costly, bringing the round sum of 81 per
pound. The ladies have their pockets
full, and use it inordinately. 1t has a
pungent, biting taste, not unlike a modi-
fed or subdued pepper. The use of Law
ender is also quite common, as ladies
say it adds to the brilliancy of the eye
If not to the glibness of the tongue.
Arsenic is used to make the complexion
more brilliant. Ether is not wholly ex-
cluded from the arsenal of those who
resolve to defend themselves against
the assaults of time; and painting is as
common as dressing the hair.

The WAR DERr-Knowinr that the acts

The WAR DEBT.-Knowing that the acts
of our Delegate to Congress are closely
watched by those who opposed him in the
late election, we publish entire, this week,
the truthful statement of the Oregon and
Washington delegation, and their defense
of the claims held by its citizens against
the government, growing out of the Indian
hostiities of 1856. Their statements will
be found an able defense, as well as COM
plete refutation of the charge of "spccula.
tion" with which the Third Auditor sought
to prejudice that claim, with a view to de-
feat an appropriation. 1t remains to be
seen whether the minds of members Of Con-
gress can be thus poisoned by the libcler of
an honest and patriotic people, or rise su-
perior to the prejudice which he has
sought to instil in them. We are 10th to
believe Mr.. ATKINSON, or any other single
individual, possesses this power, and still
hope that Congress, at this very session
will take the trouble themselves to nvesti.
tage our claim, and then, whatever in their
opinion may be found our due, be promptly
awarded to us. We have nothing to dread
from the strictest scrutiny. On the contra
ry, we court it with the greatest fervor.-
We do.not expect to have justice done our
people without it. But, whatever be the
fate of our claim, we are certain none will
deny that our delegation have labored earn
estly, constantly, and with q toW, to secure
an appropriation. No one here believes
the idle taoaddle of the OrGgonian that Gen,
LANE does not wish to see the debt paid.
