AN IDA o so FOR CIVILIAN AND SOLDIER.
There isl large quantity of advice hurled
at our gallant soldiers-some of il very use
full and some not altogether appropriate
The following items obtained from various
sources may be Of use-some Of them, upon
good authority, are at least deserving Of re-
membrane.
1t has been suggested that soldiers not
furnished with Hayelock caps, when march
Ing, sbOuld placea moistened cloth or sponge
in their hat. Green leaves, freshly plucked,
viii answer the same purpose
The usual method of ventilating hats by
piercing M or more holes in the top, is of
but little value unless additional vents are
made lower down, so as to form a circula-
ton.
Good linseed oil applied to the sOles Of
boots renders them as hard and enduring as
wooden soles, and impefiOus to water.
The best Intoxicating oil for guns, &c, is
the common rock oil. It is a protection
against rust. 1t is also useful as a Mniment
for cuts, bruises, corns, &c. Corns should
be cut. Hard corns may be softened
with coal or rock oil.
To 60 to bed Immediately after partaking
Of a hearty meal has Away been considered
8 perniciOus custom. When compelled by
fatigue, or shortness of time allowed for a
halt to lie down Immediately after eating,
the objection is obviated to some extent by
lying upon the 1t side.
Alum will purify water without injuring
the taste, and impart to it a medicinal viz
tue that will check a tendency to summer
complaints.
When water for bathing purposes is not
~obtainable, DR.. Franklin recommends air
baths as good substitutes. The clothes
also should be thoroughly aired, and when
possible a person should not sleep in the
same garments he wears in day time.
A good cure Of eostiveness is TO knead the
bowels, as you would dough. It is q me-
chanlcal cure aud dispenses with the neees-
sity Of making q miniature drtg store of
the 8 omach. Pure water, drank in large
quantities Immediately after rising, is also q
good remedy for the same complaint.
Officers who desire to make their COM
msnds distinctly heard, or Zouaves who
wish to make an audible yell, will materially
increase the column of voice by using the
abdominal muscle freely. This is a matter
generally overlooked, aud is one to which
e~lOeution teachers specially direct attention.
ItexPands the lower portion of the lungs
strengthening them, gliding digestion and
preventing N unnatural strain upon the
organs Of speech. This is the secret lit ap-
pears TO be understood by but few) of the
round, full-ioned voices some public speak
ers haves while others with naturally broad
erchests soongive way under throat troubles.
Immitate the dog and other animals. Use
the abdominal mu Gle, and you will out-run
and out-yell all the "seceshers'' in Dixie.
