Children's Arms and Legs.

NUDE arms are the means of the pre-
mature deaths of many of the little inno-
cents We often see these little mites, the
darlngs of their parents, with thick sub
stantial clothing about the body, mutiiers
around the throats, and caps on their
heads, with their arms bare to the elbows,
and their legs in similar condition nearly
up to their knees. These extremities of
child, in which the blood is never OF so
high a temperature as In the adult, and in
which it is of the greatest importance that
1t should be kept in q circulating medium,
ought to be warmly clad. Every parent,
and especially every mother, should see
that the clothing of child comes down
to the wrists upon the arms, and to the
feet upon the legs. 1t may be fashionable,
it may be gratifying to the mothers
vanity and the fathers pride to see the
clear skin of their children; but it is
often death to the children. Every prac-
tising physician could tell tale upon
this subject that should make the ears OF
all such indiscreet parents to tingle. A
distinguished English physician, who
had practised forty years, stated that he
believed he had known several thousands
of children brought TO an untimely grave
by going with their arms and legs naked ;
and a distinguished physician, VINO uleu
some years since in Paris, declared, 81
believe that during the twenty-six years
have practised my profession in this
city, twenty thousand children have been
carried to the cemeteries sacrifice toll
absurd custom of exposing the arm;
naked" AS lovers of children, we warn
parents against adopting such a delete
Iious custom.
Many have wondered why SO many chill
dren die. We wonder that any live. Soor
after birth they are crammed with food
dosed with medicine, and steamed will
bedclothes and stoves; then they are sen
out in cold weather, clothed warmly II
all parts of the body except where thu
clothing is the most needed, Their legs
arms, and neeks are bare, and thus ar,
they exposed to temperature that mas c

yes, and soon you find they are gone.
Put the bulb of q thermometer in q
babys mouth, until the mercury will rise
to ninety degrees. Now carry the same
to its little hand if the arms be bare, and
the evening cool, the mercury will sink to
forty degrees. OF course, all the blood
which flows through those arms must fall
10 within thirty to forty degrees below the
temperature of the heart. Need we say,
when these currents of blood flow back
into the chest, the child's vitality must be
more or less compromised And need we
add that we ought not to be surprised at
the frequent recurring affections of the
tongue, throat or stomachy Many chill
dren, with habitual cough and hoarseness,
or checking with mucus, have been en-
tire1y or permanently relieved by simply
keeping their hands and arms warm
Every observing and progressing physi-
clan has daily opportunity to witness the
same cure Good Healfk.

THE winter of 1740 is described in an
old book quoted by German paper as
very terrible. This work, "Brockes' Con-
tentment in God," thus speaks of it: "An
unheard of frost seized with extraordinary
severity on the world and the elements, so
that it is scarcely possible to number or
relate the many strange occurrences that
took place through its violence. Men telt
so oppressed that days passed by unheed-
ed. One would and could hardly speak
one sat and thought, yet could not think
ifany one spoke word it was with hard
set face. Many hens and ducks, even the
cattle in the stalls, died of cold; the trees
split asunder. Not only beer but wine in
cellars froze. Deeply sunken wells were
covered with impenetrable ice. Crows
and other birds fell to the ground frozen
in their fight. No bread was eatable, for
it was as cold and hard as stone
Brockes further relates that this extfaor-
binary winter was followed by an equally
uncommon spring. In May no sign o.
verdure was yet to be seen it was still
cold in July, aud vegetation was then still
further hindered by drought. The hsr
vest was not over till late in the autumn
and by the middle of October the fros
returned, before the fruit in the gardens
had had time to ripen.
