WASHINGTON. Nov %.
The Star has the following dispatch:
Worth Remembering.

The following article from DIR. Hall S
Journal Of Healh. contains practical hints
on various subjects, that are worthy OF
attention:
|. Ii is unwise to change TO cooler cloth
ing, except when you first get up in the
morning.
.. Never ride with your arm or elbow
outside any vehicle.
3. The man who attempts to alight
| from a steam ear while in motion, is a
fool
4. In stepping from any wheeled vehi-
! Gle, while in motion, let il be from the rear,
and not in front OF the wheels; for then
| if you fall, the wheels cannot run over
you.
). Never attempt TO cross a road or
street in a hurry, in front OF a passing We
hicle; for If you should stumble or slip,
you will be run over. Make up your half
minute lost 10y waiting until the vehicle
has passed, by increasing diligence in
some other direction.
;. 1t is miserable economy To save time
by robbing yourself of necessary sleep.
I. If you find yourself inclined to wake
up at night, at regular hour, and re-
main awake, you can break up the habit
in three days. by getting up as soon as
you wake, and not going TO sleep again
until your regular hour for retiring; or re-
tire two hours later, and rise two hours
earlier, for three days in succession. not
sleeping a moment in the daytime.
If infants and young children are in
clinrd TO be wakeful in the night, or very
early in the morning, put them to bed la
ter, and besides, arrange that their day
nap, shall he in the afternoon.
9. "Order is heavens first law" regu-
larity is natures great rule; hence, regu-
larity in eating, sleeping and exercise, has
a very large share in securing long and
healthful life.
20. IL you are caught in a dIenching
rain, or fall in the water, 10y all means
keep in motion sufficiently vigorous to
prevent chilly sensation until you reach
the house; then change your clothing
with great rapidity before blazing fire,
and drink instantly pint of some hot
liquid
II. TO allow the clothing to dry upon
you. unless by keeping vigorous exer-
else until thoroughly dried, is suicidal.
u. If you are conscious of being in a
passion, keep your mouth shut. for words
increase it. Many a person has dropped
dead in rage.
= l3. If person ''faints." place him on
his back and let him alone; he wants ar.
terial blood to the head: and it is easier
for the heart to throw it there in hori-
zontal line, than perpendlcularly.
H. If you want to get instantly rid of
a besstly surfeit. put your fingers down
your thoat until vomiting ensues, and eat
nothing for ten hours.
10. Feel a noble pride in living within
your means, that you will not be hustled
off to II cheeIless hospital ia your last
sickness

Poverty Not a Great Curse.

Ii there Is anything in the world that a
young man should be more thankful for
than another. il is the poverty which ne
cessitates his starting in life under very
great disadvantages. Poverty is one OF
the best tests of human quality in exist
ence A triumph over it Is like gradua-
ting at West Point; it demonstrates stuff
and stamina-it is a certificate of worthy
labor creditably performed young man
who cannot stand the test is not worth
anything. He can never rise above a
drudge or pauper. A young man who
cannot feel his will harden as the yoke OF
poverty presses upon him, and his pluck
rise with every difficulty poverty throws
in his way, may as well retire into some
corner and hide himself Poverty saves
thousand times more than il ruins, for
it only ruins those who are not particu-
larly worth saving, while it saves multi
tudes of those whom wealth would have
ruined. If any young man who reads this
is so unfortunate as TO be rick, give him
my pity. / pity you, my rich young friend
because you are in danger; you lack one
stimulous to effort and excellence, which
your poor companion possesses; you will
be very apt, if you have soft spot in your
head, to think yourself above him, and
that sort of thing makes you mean and
Injuries you. With full pockets and full
stomach, and fine linen and broadcloth
on your back, your heart and soul ple-
thoric, il the race of life you will find
yourself surpassed by all the poor boys
around you before you know it. ...-
No, my boy; If you are poor, thank
God and take courage, for He intends to
give you a chance to make something of
yourself If you had plenty of money,
ten chances to one it would spoil you for
all useful purposes. Do you lack educa-
ton? Have you been cut short in the text
book? Remember that education. like
some other things, does not consist in the
multitude of things man possesses
What can you do? That is the question
that settles the business for you. Do you
know your business? Do you know men,
and know how to deal with them? Has
your mind, by any means whatever, re-
ceived that discipline which gives to it
action, power and facility? ESQ, then you
are more of a man, and thousand times
better educated than the fellow who grad
yates from college with his brains full of
stuff that he cannot apply to the practic-
al business of life; stuff the acquisition OF
which has been in no sense disciplinary
process as far as he Is concerned. There
are very few men in this world less than
thirty years of age and unmarried, who
ean afford to he rich. One of the great
est benefits to be lesped from greathnan-
eiai disasters is the saving a large crop OF
young men. -

Tales of the Types

My dear reader, did you ever stand by
Il case of type in some newspaper Office
and watch the little, tell-tale pieces o
metal that "click, click" under the com
positor's hand! Very curious little mes
sengers are they, and now many different
tales they tell One day it is pleasant
one, full of the sunshine and song of life
and their faces seem to wear a smile, and
sometimes even broad laugh; another
day the tale is sad one, and the smile
has given place to tear.
One day they spell Married" and VIZ
see a vision of bridal wreaths, sunshine
and happy gatherings, and almost fancy
we hear the solemn what God hath join
ed together let no man put asunder. and
then the merry music. 1t is really pleas
ant tale, and pleasant vision.
Another day they show forth the more
solemn word "Died, and there seems to
be tear on every letter. Died. Who
died? Perhaps some one that you and |
knew-perhaps some one that you and |
loved. Died. and we seem to see the
fearful throng, and hear the solmn ser.
vice over the dead, and the dull echo oi
the clods on the coffin as dust is commit.
ted unto dust. Ii seems as though there
ought to be some shady corner in the
newspaper, with a willow or an urn in it,
where the tears on the faces of the types
would not be mingled with the dust from
the columns of business. "Diedp Very
brief, but very suggestive, and we know
that some one wandered out into the Be
yond, only ceased their wandering here
upon earth to commence it in the Ever
green Fields,
Where are wandering ever the Blest.'
And of late the types have grown ter
ribly frequent in the repetition of tale
sadder even than the one just mentioned
killed Only few quick moves of
the printers hand, with the nervous
'click, click" and the tale is soon told.
KILLED. And some poor heart buriesits
dead hope down in the avenues of its
Greenwood" for you know every heart
has its Greenwood, where it buries its
dead hopes out of sight KILLED" KILLED
in battle" and the poor heart sets up a
little monument of love and memory
over the buried hope, and often goes down
the avenues and waves over it the laurel
wreath of affection, and waters with its
tears the willow ever mourning fully sigh
ing its dirge there.
And another tale there is, one of wea-
risome longings and watchings, of sad,
sorrowful disappointments :" Missing" Z"
We do not heed it much, for our home
chains are compete, there are no loved
ones missing from our hearthstones, and
we have become very Indifferent to these
oft repeated tales; and yet for some hearts
the term Missing" contains an immeas-
urable amount of SORROW In vain will
they watch for the coming of that loved
one that went out from them in all the
strength and beauty of youth; in vain
will they listen for the sound of thatvoi
whose last music for them was the sad ca
by" The anxious eyes
that so often gaze down the old road, will
not be gladdened by the sight of that dear
form; and the harmony of the-music viii
ever be broken, for that voice will always
be wanting. -g
