New HEALTH MAXIMs.-Dr. Dio Lewis
pronounces some rather startling propo-
sitions in his book on hygiene. For in
stance:
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet, are very
poor food for brain and muscle.
The common notion that our health and
life depend upon mysterious Providence
| is downright inidelity. A child goes out
of a hot room with naked arms and legs in
pursuit Of its daily supply of poisoned cam
dies, and then dies of Group. Is that q
mysterious Providence? If man indulgcs
himself until he gets the gout, and disease
attacks bis heart and kills him, is his death
| mystery?
The reason that the American people are
such dyspeptics is that they eat and drink
SO mnch, and eat and drink so fast.
The teeth will not decay il they are kept
clean. A toothbrush is a.good thing, but
| one good tooth-pick is worth an armfrl oil
! th-brushes. There is gentleman now
living in New York city who has three
beautiful front teeth which he purchased
| from the mouth of an Irishman. His own
| teeth were removed, and instantly Patrick's
| were transferred.
The word biliousness is sort of respect
full cover for piggishness. People are not
| bilious who eat what they should.
The Greek and Roman armies ate but
once day.
The common impression that tomatoes
are the healthiest of all vegetables is mis-.
take. If eaten at all, it should be with
great moderation, and never raw. Toma.
toes have sometimes produced salvation
DR.. Lewis knew young woman who had
lost all iler teeth from excessive eating OF
| tomatoes.
Pies and cakes are poisonous.
TO healthy persons mineral waters are
not wholesome.
Corsets are most injurious to digestion.
Their use finally results in an immense and
very ugly protuberance of the abdomen.
Those who suffer from heartburn should
avoid soups, drink nothing at meals, say
"No, thank you," to pies and cakes, and
60 without supper.
If YOU wish to live to S., in the full enjoy.
ment of all your faculties, 60 to bed at
o'clock and eat twice day moderate
quantity of plain food.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1870-11-21

HELP THE PooR.-We are requested by
DR.. Parker to say, in answer to the daily
lapphcatipns made by the poor and their
friends to him BY letter and formally, that
no food or fuel, nor money to buy it, has
been given him this fall. The city never
has, as many suppose, supplied him with
money for this purpose. The money sent
| him by citizens is less this year than on any
previous year, and in the last three months
would not amount to twenty-five dollars.
!; Food was to o, very limited extent supplied
by him last summer in, cases of great dis
,tress. Hoping that some! contributions
l.had to pay the bills himself. Sometimes
ipersons able themselves to aid the poor yet
!, send them to him, with the idea that he is
Esupplied with funds by the city or some
society. The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation appointed him, along with two other
! gentlemen, to aid the poor, but never made
any appropriation for the purpose. 7 LOG.
| The Doctor represents the suffering Of
,, the poor, especially in case Of sickness, as
very great, many families not yet having
been able to buy a lump of coal, END wood
only by the single stack. This fall very
good lump coal can be bought ut 81 a'l0ad.
We don'l know how better this amount
,could be expended than by supplying a
i;sick family with load Of coal, wbich.would
make them comfortable for a month or
more. What is more ;cheerless, especially
when sickness is present, than a home
without fire at this seasonH ~ 81 .'s
Mr.. VIM. Jenkins, chairman Of Commit
tee for Relief the Poor, is making efforts to
get convenient yard from which to issue
wood and coal to the poor in more judi
cious manner than heretofore, Especial
attention will be given to the Sick poor.
The city fuel will not be issued hardly be-
fore the first or middle of December.

Under the Ece-How Certain Animal
live In Winter.

D.
EFrom the Manufacturer and Builder.
Our readers know that there are two
kinds of respiratory pparatus-lungs,
which inhale air, abstract oxygen from it,
and give in return chiefly carbonic acid ;
and gilIs, which absorb the oxygen dis
solved in water, and also give OFT chiefly
curbonic acid, which is more readily dis
solved in water than the oxygen. The appa-
ratus is possessed by mammals, birds, &C.
the latter by fshes-and as lungs are inca
pable of taking oxygen out OF water, and
gills cannot take it from the air, or, in other
words, as lungs cannot breathe water, and
gills cannot breathe air, animals with lungs
are drowned in water, while fish are
drowned in the air. A small number of
amphipious animals, however, possess both
lungs, and can therefore breathe either air
OF water, and thus live in both. 1t has
been, however, observed that muskrats and
other swimming mammals with lungs could
travel considerable distance under ice
without reaching any breathing-hole on the
surface, and it was for q long time pro-
blem how they succeeded in living SO long
and travelling SO far without access TO at
mosphere. The problem has been answered
hy S. Newhouse In work called the Trap
per's Guide, from which we extract the
following:
'sMuskrats have curious method of
travelling long distances under the ice. In
their winter excursions to their feeding
grounds, which are frequently at great dis
lance from their abodes, they take in
breath ut starting, and remain under water
as long as they can. They rise to the ice
and breathe out the air in their lungs,
which remains in bubbles against the lower
surface of the ice. They wait till this air
RECEIVERS oxygen from the water and ice,
operation has to be repeated. In this way
they can traYel almost any distance, and
live any length Of time under the ice.
