Be- The opinion generally pre-
walls that birds fly with greatest ease
with the wind; but Prof. Newman,
who has given the subject much
attention, asserts the contrary. He
claims that all birds of passage prefer
to fly against the wind, and to
substantiate his statement, he refers
to the quails of Europe, which almost
invariably start on their passage of
the Mediterranean with head wind,
and if it chops round and blows
fresh from the Southwest, they are
drowned by thousands, and their
bodies are washed ashore for weeks
afterwards. When the wind is abaft,
it gets under the birds feathers in
the most aggravating manner, and
upsets his equilibrium and equanim"
ity at the samc time.

TAKING CoLD.-Thousan2s take
cold and bring upon themselves va
rious forms Of incurable disease, by
lying aside an extra garment. When
exercise has been taken the person
should rest awhile before removing
an extra garment, and if lying down
or exposed to a current of air, more
clothing, instead of less, should be
added till we'll rested. When ex.
posed to cold from getting the feet
or person wet, dry clothing should
be put on, and vigorous exercise
taken, however stupid the person
may feel; unless too much exercise
has been taken, in which case, re-
move the damp clothing, retire i'm
mediately to bed, cover very warm
and put bricks or fat-irons to the
feet SO as to create warmth immedi-
ately. Before, and during the con-
tinuance of exercise, a person may
drink cold water, but never immedi-
stely on eeasisg from exercise, how
ever thirsty.

How To SAVE YoUR TEErH.-Mi

How To SAVE YoUR TEErH.-Mr.
Beecher, who is something of a ply
sician. as well as theologist, author,
lecturer and rcformer, generally, says:
"Onr teeth decay. Hence, bad
breath, rnseemly mouth and imper-
feet mastication. Everybody regrets
it. What is the cause: 1t is
want OF cleanliness. A clean tooth
never decays. The mouth is warm
place, ninety eight degrees. Parti-
cles Of meat between the teeth de-
compose. Gums and teeth must suf-
fer. Cleanliness will preserve the
teeth to old age. Use quill pick
and rinse the mouth after eating
brush with CASTLE soap every morn
ing, brush with pure water on retir-
ing. Bestow this trifling care upon
your precious teeth, you will keep
them and ruin the dentists. Neg
lect it and you will be in sorrow all
your lives"

BILL ARP ON LAw.-My experi-
ence in litigation have not been
satisfactory. l sued Sugar Black
onst for the price of load of shuoks.
He said he wanted to buy some
refuse, aud I agreed to bring him o
load Of shucks for two dollars. Ny
wagon got broke, and he got tired
awaitin, and set out after the sfucks
hisself. When I called on him for
the pay, he seemed surprised, and
said it cost him two dollars and fifty
cents to have the shuclks hauled, and I
.jestly owed him half a dollar. He
was bigger than I was, and l swol-
lored my bile, and sued him. His
lawyers filed a set off for .haulin.
He pied the shucks were unsound:
and that they were barred by limita-
tations; and that they didn't agree
with his COWS; that he never got
any shucks from me-. He spoke
about half an hour, and allowed me
as a swindler above 40 times. The
bedevilled jury went out and brought
in verdict against me for so cents.
aud four dollars for costs of suit. l
haint saved marry shuck on my
plantation since, and I don't intend
to until it gets .less expensive. l
look upon this as warniu to folks,
never to 60 to law about shucks or
any other small circumstances.

FRUIT TREEs.-Never prop up a
tree loaded with fruit, to prevent the
branches from breaking down. Any
branch of the tree which requires
propping has more fruit than it
ought to carry either for the good of
the tree or the fruit. The first thing
to do is to remove the smaller, poor
or, or knotty specimens. If this is
done before the growth has ceased,
aud sometimes after ripening has
commenced, the improvements of
the lower portion will more than
compensate for the reduction in
number. In those regions where
the peach bears only occasionally,
the owners often attemp to get all
they can by allowing an over-aburd-
ant crop to remain. They will get
quite as many bushels by removing
oue-half or two.thirds, and obtain
an immense superiority in flavor.
Many cultivators have observed that
the last ripening peaches on a tree are
better than the first-merely because
they are not crowded. How much
better would they be by removing the
crowded portion before ripening.
If you wish to have good, healthy,
uniformally growing trees not de-
stroycd by premature age, do not let
them Overbear.
