Worth Remembering.

The following articles from DR.. Halls
journal of Health, contain practical
hints on various subjects that are wor-
thy of attention !: a.
/. 1t is unwise to change to cooler
clothing except when you first get up
in the morning. .48ls3 3d
2. Never ride with your arm or elbow
outside any vehicle. ia ba
g. The man who attempts to alight
from steam car while in motion is a
fool. aHf ~ baas 8
f. In stepping from any wheeled vehi-
Gle while in motion, let it be from the
rear and not from the front of the wheels:
for then, if you fall, the wheels cannot
run over you.
5. Never attempt to cross a road or
street in hurry, in front Of passing
vehicle, for if you should stumble or fall
you will be run over. Make up the
minute lost by waiting until the vehicle
had passed by increasing diligence in
some other direction.
6. It is miserable economy to save
time by robbing yourself Of necessary
sleep.
Z. IF you find yourself inclined to
wake up at regular hour in the night
and remain awake, you can break up the
habit in three days, by getting up as
soon as you wake, and not going asleep
again until your usual hour for retiring,
or retire two hours later, and rise two
hours earlier for three days in succession.
not sleeping moment in the daytime
s. If infants and young children are
inclined to be wakeful in the night, or
very early in the morning, put them to
bed later; and besides, arrange that
their day nap shall be in the forenoon
9. "Order is heavens first law, . reg
ularity is heavens great rule hence
regularity in eating, sleeping, and ex-
ercise, has very large share in secur-
ing healthful life.
TO- If you are caught in drenching
rain, or fall in the water, by all means
keep in motion sufficiently vigorous to
prevent the slighte chilly sensation
until you reach the house then change
your clothing with great rapidity before
blazing 6re, and drink instantly pint
of some hot liquor. '
H. To allow the clothing to dry up
on you, unless by keeping up vigorous
exercise until thoroughly dried, is suici-
dal n eah
II. If you are conscious of being in
passion, keep your mouth shut, for
words increase it, Many a person has
dropped dead in rage.
13. If a person "faints," place him
on his back and let him alone he wants
arterial blood to his head and it is
easier for the heart to throw it there
in horizontal line, than perpendicular
ly.
IA. If you want to get instantly rid
of beastly surfeit, put your fingers
your throat until free vomiting en-
sues,and eat nothing more for ten hours.
10. Feela noble pride in living with
in your means. then you will not be hus-
tied off to a cherries hospital in your
last sickness.

STANToN.-There is not government
clerk in Was hington who works half as
hard as our present indefatigable Sec y
of War. A few days ago, as one who
was with him relates, he worked from
EARLY morning till dawn of next day in
the transaction of official business, and
then instead of going to rest, went out
as usual to do his own marketing,-re-
turning punctuall to work at and work
ed that day till long past midnight
Such are the physical and mental exac
tons on this man, for the performance
of which his daily need is to be sound
ly berated by all the Copperheads and
a good number of unapreciative Repub.
iicans who do nothing for the Union
cause but growl at its mishaps.

THE --LATEST USE FOR PETROLEUM.
An assistant surgeon, writing from Get
tysburg, says:
. "Will you allow me, as one alienation
of the horrors of the battle field to call
your attention to the use Of coal oil in
suppurating wounds :? AS volunteer as
sistant | received permission from the
surgeons of the first division of the fifth
corps, Gettysburg, to use it in the most
offensive cases. BY its manifest utility
and solicitations Of the wounded [ was
induced to enlarge its use, until became
satisfied that what cold water is to a
wound in its inhamed state, coal oil is to
tin its suppuratlng state, dispelling fiies,
expelling vermin, sweetening the wound,
and promoting healthy granulations. IT
can be used by an assistant of ordinary
judgement with perfect safety and to the
great comfort of the patient | have

been dressed with it asleep before was

FAST LIFE.-They have little town
out West which appears to have been
overlooked by Dickens, and other French
travellers, and which is "all sorts of a
place" In one day they recently had
two street fights, hung man; rode three
out of town on rail, got up a quarter
race, a turkey shooting, gander- pulling
match dog fight, and preaching by a
circus rider, who afterwards had foot
race for apple jack all round and as if
this was not enough, the judge Of the
court, after losing his yeaa's salary al
single handed poker. and whipping a
person for saying he did not understand
the game, went out and helped to lynch
his grandfather for hog stealing.

QUEER OArHs.-The oaths of the
Irish are very whimsical, such as-"By
the seven pipers that played before Mo-

musical OATH by my fathers beard,
and that's hairy one;" and variety
of Others; but of all the odd oaths ever
taken, that Of witness before COM

The Oldest House in the TT. s.

The principal antiquity of Guilford
Conn, is building called the sold
Stone House, which is claimed to be
the oldest in the United States. IN
passing it on the street it does not look
remarkably old, yet it has stood con
siderably more than two centuries, 1t is
still in good repair for dwelling, and
doubtless owes its preservation to its
massive walls, which are very thick
Having been erected at the commence
ment of the settlement, it may have
been designed for fertilization as vel
as dwelling.
1t was builtby the Rev. Henry White
field, the pastor who came over will
the little colony, and the stones were
brought from ledge about quarter
OF mile distant, increditable as it may
seem, on hand barrows that is a kline
of tray, carried between two men with
out the aid of wheels. The chief trait
IN the architecture of the building art
strength and masipeness. The chin
neys are of immense size, and the whole
structure is OK rough stone. Unfor
tunately, somewhat less than half cen
tury ago it was plastered over with stuc

DODGEVILLE, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19,
Children.

Real, live, plump. jolly, roly-poly
chlldren-are as scarce as sensible grown
up people. Little, thin. row-shoul-
dered, angular, pale intelIectualities, are
common enough. It is your healthy
tcm-boy that is the rarity. What wo-
man ever was less delicate in soul and
pure in heart, because she tore her frock
and climbed trees when she was a child :?
Real, wild, childish romping, with ring
ing laughter and twinkling feet, merry
dances, aad family frolics-this is the
stuff out Of which wholesome manhood
and womanhood is made. Children who
are under conviction of sin at five years
of age, die of brain disease, or live hy-
pochondriacs to torment life out of all
around them. Sad is the family that
has one or more Of such. We don't
doubt the mother Of the Gracchi was
sad romp, and we more than suspect
Portia Of immense tom-b -boyhood, Such
healthy natures could not have devel-
oped otherwise. .I5aa
Cherish the children, mend their
frocks don't scold them for broken toys
for man is not more inevitably mortal
than playthings. Don't strip their fat
shoulders in winter, nor roast them with
fannels in dog days, because somebody
told you so. Don't drug them; don't
'yarb" them; don't stuff them with pas
try, or starve them on chippy bread
don't send them to infant schools at
three, or to fancy balls at ten, years of
age, nor teach them the commandments
earlier than they can remember "Mo
ther Goose" 1iH

HOME Music take it to be true
that whenever you hear a good deal OF
music in house, that dwelling is ten
anted by ''happy family IF you
hear domestic going gleefully about
her labors with song, you may take
it for granted thatshe has neither a
discontented temper nor scolding mis-
tress. Girls that don't like their places,
are far more likely to go moping and
grumbling about the house than to hum
a pleasant ditty or carol a roundelay.-
Then if you hear the young ladies al
the piano trilling popular air, or a
merry catch, you may be sure they are
light hearted and happy, and as good as
they are cheerful And what stronger
proof of happiness all around can there
be than the evening social concert, when
old and young, male and female, make
melody with their voices as well as in
their hearts In some houses the very
purring of the cat is musical, while the
warbling of canary bird is sweeter
than the most dulcet Of operate voices.
And the great recommendation Of home
music is, that it is cheap as well as joy
speaking and joy-inspiring.
