that his mental condition should be

For the expenditure Of twenty-five
cents l had tho rare treat on Wednes-
day night of listening to an important
original document. At least it was
said to be original, and read as
original, but from the beginning l
fancied that I had heard 1t somewhere
before, and on taxing my memory,
recollected that it was an old Fourth
of July document called the Declara-
ton Of Independence, but with the
word "man" remonelessly struck out
and woman substituted. Mrs. Pill
Stevens informed us that the feminine
John Hancock who had made this won
derful alteration waS.a Mrs. Rogers,
and she expected that henceforth the
name of Rogers would become q house
hold word wherever the English Ian
Criage was spoken, q rallyihg cry for
sufffagelessf females all the world over.
THE. declaration had not been signed
when I left, AZ none of them felt
worthy of attaching the first auto
graph, and the difficulty was to be
overcome by drawing lots. Who
would have thought the ladies were
so careless Of post6unous fame? Here
was a sheet of paper that future ages
will regard with reyerential awe, a
page Of writing that Will no doubt
eventually reach, tho same glass case
that now holds the Magma Charta and
Bill Of Rights, and yet the aged dears
were so modest that not one would
pen the. maiden signature. Difidence,

How to Keep Cool.

The Herald OF Heath for July gives
some directions upon the pertinent
problem of how to keep cool. W.
quote:
/. The diet should be composed large
" or entirely Of fruits, fresh vegetables,
and wheat-meal bread, and other prepa,
ration of wheat and oatmeal. Corn
meal bread and cakes should be seldom
eaten, if at all, during hot weather.
Avoid all stimulating or heating arti-
cles of food, as meats, especially fat or
salted meats, butter, gravies, and greasy
food of all kinds, sugar, mustard, spices,
etc. Do not eat hot food, and especially
avoid eating more than the system re-
quires.
, Drink nothing but water, and that
only small quantity at a time. or
course this precludes the use of tea,
coffee and all alcoholic drinks.
,. The clothing should be light, light
coIorcd, loose fitting, and changed
often. -'~
/. The entire body should be bathed
every day, either in the morning or at
night Farmers and others who per
spire freely and are exposed to dust
should battle at night. They will rest
and sleep better tor doing so. The
whole body can be effectually cooled in
a short time by holding pieces Of ice in
the hands, or letting Il stream OF cold
water run upon the wrists Or ankles.
). Avoid all undue mental orphy.ical
eXcitemcnt.

POSTAGE TO GERMANY.
An Important Reduction Going into
Effect on and after July I.

In execution of the plans OF the new
postal convention concluded lately be,
tween the Postmaster General and the
North German Confederacy, a general
reduction in foreign postage is to be
made on the first of July next. The
postage ior prepaid letters to Germany,
via England, and exchanged in closed
mails, lis reduced from fifteen to ten
cents, and for prepaid letters, exchanged
by direct steamers to and from Bremen
and Hamburg, respectively, from ten to
seven cents. Unpaid and unsutHcicntJ
paid letters will be charged on their de-
livery with double postage for collcC-
ton; the stamps pasted upon insufii-
Gently prepaid letters being deducted
from the public postage. No change is
made in postage on newspapers or
other printed matter 1t remains three
cents for a newspaper and six cents for
every four onnce~ of books but
postage on such articles must be fully
prepaid; otherwise they cannot be for
warded in the mails from either country
to the other Letter correspondence he
tween the United States aud the Sean
dinayian kingdoms, or the other States
OF Northern Europe forwarded by the
post-ofiiccs Of the North German Con-
tederacy, will receive the benefit of
these new reductions. Il will he well
to mark letters, which are to hc mailed
via England, the words BY Prussian
closed mail, or via England because
all letters without any directions viii
be sent by direct German steamers. and
cost only seven cents when prepaid !
We advise German correspondents to
scrupulously put the postage on their.
letters accordingto their weight The /
German postmastcrs are 50 strict .
is given out without being previously ,
weighed, and in casc il proves heavier
only in the weight "' pea, double
postage will he charged to tile receiver.
There arc thousands of families in Ger
many to which the expense of double
hostage is Il considerable amount, and a
disagrecablc introduction 10 the rccep-
ton of the most desirable news. The
reduced rate of foreign postage will no
doubt increase, foreign correspondence to
such AN extent that some of our paper
mill. will find il a pawn" speculation
to manufacture thiu, substantial
foreign letter paper. The paper winch
is now called by that name has not be
come popular and it is unfit for the pur-
pose. The better qualities are too cost
