CHANGING CLoTHING.-Many persons lose
life every year by an injudicious change of
clothing, and the principles involved need rep
etition almost every year.
If clothing is to be diminished, it should be
done in the morning, when first dressing.
Additional clothing may be safely put on at
any time.
In Northern States the under garments
should not be changed for those less heavy
sooner than the middle of May; for even in
June a fire is very comfortable sometimes in q
New York parlor.
Wooden flannel ought to be worn next the
the person. by all, during the whole year, but
thinner material may be worn alter the hrst
Of June.
A blazing fire should be kept in every family
room until ten in the morning, and reklndlea
again an hour before sundowD, up to the hrst
week in June, and from the first day OF October
Particular and tidy housekeepers by arrang'
ing their fireplaces for the summer TOO carry
oftentimes put the whole family to serious
discomfort, and endanger health, by exposing
them to sit in chilliness for several hours every
morpinp. waiting for the weather to moderate,
rather than have the fire place or crate all
backened up; that is, rather than be put to
the trouble of another fixing up ior the sum
mer, they expose the children TO Group, and
the old folks to inflammation OF the lungs.
The old and the young delight in warmth 1t
is to them tho greatest luxury. Halt the dis
eases OF humanity would be swept from eXls-
teuce If the human body were kept comfortably
warm all the time. The discomfort OF cold feet,
or OF a chilly room, many have experienced
70 their sorrow they make the mind peevish
and fretful while they expose the body to colds
and inHammations which often destroy it in less
than week.-HaWS Journal of Health.

Itisan easy thing for men to talk
absut thigh taxes" and shout "re-
trenchment,n as eur democratic politi-
clans in Ohio did two years ago. but it
is quite a different thing to reduce the
taxes and practice retrsnchment. The
Legislature, elected by the democrats
upon the promise of low taxes, has been
the most expensive Legislature that
ever convened in this State in a time OF
peace.
1t was in session 269 days, and the
nav, mileage and expenses of committees
(excluding stationery amounted to
$3.50. 500. The expenses of the Republi-
can Legislature which Immediately
preceded it, amounted to but $l2s.S24,
showing net loss, to the people ol
$lSl, ,675, the result of giving power into
the hands of the democracy. How DC
YOU like democratic economy? They
will probably talk economy again thii
fall. when they come to ask for your
vote-refer them to these figures. 1t is
common remxrk-"If a man cheats
me once, it is bis fault; if he cheats me
the second time, it is my fault" The
democracy have cheated the people
oncs,-if you let them cheat you the
second time, you must not complain il
your taxes are high and burdsnsome.
