KEEP WARN AND SAVE Your L1FE.-At this season
many deaths take place which might be prevented by
warmer clothing Many fatal case of dysentery is
caused by the want of wooden undershirt Or of an
extra blanket at night The sudden changes of tenn
perature which at this period of the year are
very trying to the constitution. People with weak
lungs quickly feel the effect of them Frequently the
thermometer falls many degrees within few hours
Not only the feeble but robust and strong persons suf
fer from such great variations of temperature. When
the weather grows cold rapidly the pores of the skin
are suddenly closed, and the result frequently bad
cold which may hold all winter, and terminate in
consumption, fatal attack of dysentery, or that
dreadful disease, the typhoid fever
Z If the day seems ever so bright and warm, it is
much safer to wear plenty of underclothing at this
season. In the evenings the dews fall and it grows
chilly very suddenly AT all times, even when it feels
the warmest, one experiences the difference which is
70 marked, between the autumn atmosphere and that
of the summer. There is something more than the
mere difference in temperature lit may be the electric

purifies the atmosphere A little timely attention to
all these things would prevent great deal of the dis
ease and suffering which among the ills to which

Neither enjoyed the play. E'3'
''This is the giant" said Willie,
And | am the valiant knight
If only he would not come quite so close,

The sheep followed closer, and closer yet,
Willie grew white with fright.

And into the ditch fell he;
The ground it was soft, and 10 limb was Scared,

THE VEGETABLE LocEsT.-0ur exchangeshave lately
been filed with accounts which have opened the eyes
Of many to their widest extent, and produced feel
ing of awe at the wonders Of nature, which, It seems
will meyer cease notwithstanding the question is SO
often asked. Among them We have had the wild
woman of Texas, the great snake of Tennessee, and
the big bird OF Kentucky, with its two feet like a
turkey and the other like duck eisurely feeding on
Il fp grown sheep at the top of dry tree. These
are but common vulgar things, compared with what
we are about to relate. A*gentleman Of undoubted
veracty, who has lately been in San Antonio tells us
that there is now i'll that ancient and beautiful city
wonderful plant brought from Chhltau, and known
the Vegetable Locust. lis history is simply this
1t appears that there is in Mexico species of locust
which, after hourslng for awhile and eating its fill,
digs its grave in the earth and dies. Ont Of the
ter of its head springs plant, which grows up pro-
duces at first the most beautiful blossoms and then
little berries seeds, which fall to the ground and
in due time, bring forth locusts which, after hopping
and flying and singing around and about, and eating
10 their hearts content anything that comes in their
way, from tender leaf to fence rail- III their turn
die and are converted into the most lovely
and curious Of all plants.
Now here is something for the poets, and dvines
too who love TO dwell Oh the Immortality of the soul
and catch eagerly at any illustration This is no coarse
Munchausen for the ignorant and vulgar swallow,
but has the charm OF romance and mystery about it, to
engage the attention of the upper-ten in literature
metaphysics and natural science We do not rouch
Tor its truth and give names and dates, like tile au-
thorS Of the snake and bird stories but call on our
cotemp orary, the San Antonio Herald to deny the
fact, if it can, rs We have no wish to impose on the
public. Austin State Gazette.

The Practical SENSE OF RULES OF TABLE ETIQUETTE.
Among the rules of social etiquette, many of which
are undoubtedly trling good number will be found
10 be based on sound common sense Consider, for
example, that rule of the dinner table, " Do not ask
twice for soup" This appears, at first sight, both
silly and arbitrary. 1t is however, very sensible
ordinance, and is to be justified By the laws Of health
and the general comfort and convenience. The soup
being fluid substance, can be easily absorbed in
small quantities. and thus taken is good preparatve
for the soldities of the dinner. If, however, the
stomach is deluged with it, the appetite and digestion
become Weakened and there is neither the inclination
to eat the power to digest the more substantial
food essential to the due nutrition of the body
As for the convenience comfort of the single plate
rule no deny it who has looked upon an array
Of hungry guests whose eager appetite for the coming
is compelled to impatient delay by some social
monster capable of asking for soup twice. The cook
in the meantime is of course, thrown out in his calcu
iatons, and the dish, when it does come a. last, is
either spoiled by overlooking, Or cold from being
withdrawn long from the fire. The guests thus are
not only tried in temper by protracted expectations
but baked of their anticipated enjoyment. The ad-
vantages of not putting the knife in the mouth will be
obvious suppose all who conscious that one
can cut and the other is capable Of being cut There
is excellent chemical for that other table
rule which forbds the of knife Of steel with the
fish, the ordinary sauces of which combine with that
metal, and produce composition neither wholesome
nor appetisng. Harper's Bazaar.
