Rules for Winter.

Never go to bed with cold or damn
feet.
In going into colder air, keep the
mouth rcsolutely closed, that by com
polling the air to pass circuitously
through the nose and head, it may
become warm before it reaches the
lungs, and thus prevent those shocks
and sudden chills which frequently
end IN pleurisy, pneumonia, and other
serious forms of disease.
Never sleep with the head in the
draft OF nm open door or window.
Let more cover be on the lower
limbs than on the body. Have an
extra covering within easy reach in
case of sudden and great change of
weather during the night.
Never stand still moment out of
doors, especially at street-corners,
after having walked even short dis
lance.
Never ride near the open window of
vehicle for q single half-minute, es-
pecially if it has been preceded by a
walk valuable lives have thus been
lost, or good health permanently de-
stroyed,
Never put on new boot OF shoe in
beginning journey.
Never wear India-rubber in cold.
dry weather.
Ii compelled to face bitter, cold
wind throw a silk handkerchief over
the face; its agency is wonderful in
modifying the cold.
Those who are easily chilled on
going out OF doors, should have some
cottonbatting attached to the vest or
other garment, so rs to protect the
space between the shoulder blades
behind, the lungs being attached to
the body at that point; little there
is worth five times the amount over
tne cneSt In 'front.'.
Never sit for more than five min
ates at time with the back against
the fire or stove.
Avoid sitting against cushions in the
backs of pews in churches if the un-
covered board feels cold, sit erect
without touching it.
Never begin journey till br eakfast
has been eaten.
After speaking, singing, or preaching
in a warm room in winter, do not
leave it for at least ten minutes, and
even then close the mouth, put on the
gloves. wrap up the neck, and put on
a cloak or overcoat before passing out
OF the door the neglect of these has
laid many good and useful man in
premature grave.
Never speak under hoarseness,
especially if it requires an effort, or
gives hurting or painful feeling, for
it often results in permanent loss of
voice, a lifelong invalidism.--HalPs
Jonrnl Of Health.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH AGRICULTURAL
IMPLEMENTS. noticed, not long
since, report of discussion at some
farmers club in England of the rela-
tive value of American and English
farming tools, in which the former
were highly commended by some of
the speakers, especially on account of
their lighter form, characteristic
which has generally been regarded as
an objection to American implements
and carriages by English farmers.
That the English mechanics are taking
hint from us in this respect, we infer
from the following remarks made at
On agricultural meeting by Lord Pal
merston, who presided, and in his re-
marks said
again modern science has lightened
greatly the vehicles used in agricul-
ture. We no longer see those enor-
nous masses of timber, which were
formerly drawn by horses, in the shape
of carts and wagons, which in them
selves were heavier than the loads
which they were intended to convey.
1t was quite Unnecessary TO make
them SO large and heavy. They were
not stronger by reason of their weight,
because their weight destroyed their
usefulness, and made them dearer. A
great improvement had taken place in
this respect"
