THE DANGERS OF SPRING.-We have
the highest medical authority for saying
that a great many more persons die in
May than in November. The natural eau
ses are, 1st-The increased dampness of
the atmosphere, proven by the fact that
doors which shut easily in winter, do not
do so In the summer. 2d-Nature takes
away the appetite for meals, for heat
giving food, in order to prepare the body
for the increased temperature of summer
But two errors in practice at this time in
terfere with wise natures arrangements,
and induce many and painful aud danger
Gus diseases. First, the amount of clo-
thing is diminished too soon. Second,
the conveniences of fire in our dwellings
are removed too early. All persons, cs-
pecialiy children, old people, and those in
delicate health, should not remove the
thickest WOODEN flannel of mid-winter, un-
til some time in May, and then it should
be merely change to little thinner ma
terial. Furnaces should not be removed.
nor tire-places and CRATES cleaned for the
summer, until the first of June for a
brisk fire in the crate is sometimes very
comfortable in the last week in May; that
may be a rare occurrence, but as it does
sometimes take place, it is better to be
prepared for it than to sit shiveriug for
half day, with the risk to ourselves and
children, of some violent attack of spring
diseases. By inattention to these things,
four causes are in operation to chill the
body and induce colds and fevers FIRST,
The dampness of the atmosphere in May.
Second, That striking falling off in appe-
tite for meals and other cheating" food.
Third, The premature diminution Of clo-
thing. Fourth, The too early removal of
the conveniences of fire. And when the
very changing condition of the weather of
May is taken into account, it is no wonder
that under the influence of so many causes
Of diminution of the temperature of the
body, many fall victims to disease. In
November, the healthiest month in the
year, we have put on our warmest clothing,
kindled our daily fires, we have found
keen relish for substantial food, while the
dampness of the atmosphere has been re-
lieved by the condensation of increasing
cold The wise will remember these things
for lifetime, and teach them to their
children.

How THE THISTLE SAVED SEQ

How THE THISTLE SAVED SCOTLAND.
The following is related as the origin of
the use of the thistle, as the national en-
blem of Scotland When the Danes in
vaded Scotland, they availed themselves
of the pitch darkness of night to attack
the Scottish forces unawares. In approach
ing them unobscrved, and marching bare
footed to prevent their tramp being heard
one of the Danes trod upon large prickly
thistle, and the sharp cry of pain which
he instantly uttered suddenly apprised the
Scots of their danger, who Immediately
ran to their arms, aud defeated the foe
with great slaughter. The thistle was
thenceforward adopted as the national in
sigma of Scotland

day got up during service and walked out
OF church making 4 rather prominent dis

in this wise; ''Pull that cane from under

around, replied: "Pull that stick of wood
out of your pants, my old friend, and throw
