Loss by hand-to-mouth plans SO IS
There can be no question as TO which
way is the more economical. The only
consideration remaining is,
CAN FAMILIES SALT THEIR OWN PORK.
There is no part of hog that skill III
preparation and cookery will not trans
form into a good if not deiectable dish.
Properly prepared, the head and feet are
as palatabIe as the spare-rib.
As to the cost One barrel Tor the
pork, a half barrel for the hams and
shoulders and jolcs, half bushel of salt,
and a quarter of a pound of saltpetre,
costing less than three dollars, will be the
extent of the outlay for the first year,
from which the cost of the barrel and the
half barrel may be ever after Subtracted.
Is THE PLAN ADVISABLE!
If one buys of the farmer who tattens,
or of some market man in whom he has
confidence, he knows what he gets, com
fed pork is always worth from two to
three cents a pound more than slOp-fed,
beside being far more healthy. And there
is a satisfaction always In having some
thing whcrewith to make out good meal
in the house, without the disagreeable ne
cessity of de oending upon the caprice, or
being subjected to the uncertainties, of
any outside party. AddtO this the saving
of nearly One-third, and there is little
question but that when circumstances do
not render it impossible, it is better to buy
our pork in the hog, and not by the piece.

HOW 70 BREAK ONESELF OF
BAD HABITS

Understand clearly the reasons, and all
the reasons, why the habit is injurious
Study the subject till there is no linger-
ing doubt in your mind. Avoid the
places, the persons, and the thoughts that
lead TO the temptation. Frequent the
places, associate with the persons, indulge
The thoughts that lead away from the
temptation. Keep busy; idleness is the
strength of bad habits. Do not give up
the struggle when you have broken your
resolution once, twice, ten times, thou
sand times. That only shows how much
need there is for you to strive. When
you have broken your resolution, just
think the matter over, and endeayOr TO
understand why it was you failed so that
you may be on your guard against a recur-
renee of the same circumstances. Do not
think it a little or an easy thing that you
have undertaken. 1t is folly to expect tC
break off a bad habit in day which may
have been gathering strength in yOu fol
years.

The season of storm parties is now upon

prise they sometimes occasion, there
is a degree of sOciaity about them
not to be found where parties are
announced in the regular way. The
leader in a storm party is supposed
to be exceedingly genial and agreeable IN
manners, and old familiar friends only are
called to his or her assistance when a sur
prise is intended. Last night, X. ]. Nor

THE BOARD OFHEALTH ON POIS,
ONOUS COSMETICS.

The Board of Health of this city shows
that it comprehends its duty to the public
in exposing the destructive effects of COS
metics to the lives end health of the large
class of people who use these msidiOus
poisOns. In the abstract of a report of
the Sanitary Superintendent, DIR. Harris,
to the Board of Health, which
was published in the Herald yesterday,
attention is called TO the Unre-
stricted sale of poisonous solutions and
preparations of lead, under the name of
cosmetics, bloom of youth, hair dyes,
hair invigOratOrs, etc DR.. Harris, after
referring to two cases of death by such
lead poisoning, read letter from Dr..
Louis A. Sayre on the subject generally.
This distinguished surgeon sent a report
of three cases of poisoning by the use OF
a cosmetic known, as he says, by the
name of Lads Bloom of Youth, " which
many of our fashionable ladies employ to
beautify their compilations. DR.. Sayre
adds in his letter:
at seems to me that the suppression
of this dangerous cosmetic is a duty de-
volving on your Board as much as that
of any other poison. Thousands are
using it daily in ignorance of its cOmpO-
sition, and l think its sale ought to be
prohibited by the strong arm of the law. y
The Sanitary Superintendent re-
marks that DR.. Sayre does not exaggeratC
the danger that is experienced BY all per.
sons who apply this class of cosmetics &c
their faces or other portions of then
bodies. sDr Sayre has hadseveral cases Of
fearful paralysis under his treatment pro
duced by the use of this and other cos
metics, has paid particular attention t
the subject, and has determined to maxi
relentless war on this great and danger
GUS evik The Sanitary Superintendent
notices one case of death from lead pois
oning, which occurred in one of our cit,
hotels. 1t was that of a merchant o
some distinction, who was killed by th
daily use of a hair wash that is believe
have contained large quantities Of acetat
and carbonate of lead.-Nc,y York He,
