comes from, and find an open window
near you, or door, or that you have
taken seat at the forward part Of the
car, and in moving against the wind

ices. After any kind of exercise do
not stand moment at street corner,
for anyobdy or anything; nor at an
open door or window. When you have
been exercising in any way whatever,
winter or summer, go home at once, or
to some sheltered place; and, however
warm the room may seem to be, do not
at once put off your hat and cloak, but
wait awhile-some five minutes or more,
and lay aside one thing at time; thus
acting, a cold is impossible. Notice q
moment: When you return from brisk
walk and you enter warm room, raj Sc
your hat and your forehead will be
moist; let the hat remain few mo-
ments and feel the forehead again, and
it will be dry, showing that the room
is actually cooler than your body, and
have really cooled off soon enough.
Many of the severest colds / have ever
known men to take were the result of
sitting down to warm meal in cool

their first admonition of it was that
creeping chilliness which is the ordinary
forerunner of severe cold. Persons
have often lost their lives by writing OF

Attention, Girls!

We do not know who is the author of
inc following excellent "maxims for
girls' but whoever he is, he must have
had their welfare warmly at heart or
he would never have succeeded in Civ
ing so much good advice in a small
space. We trust the girls will read
them and profit by them:
Never make your appearance in the
morning without having first bathed,
if only with sponge and a quart of
water, brushed, and arranged your hair,
dressed yourself neatly and completely.
Keep your clothing, especially your
under-clothing, IN perfect order. New
er let pins do the duty of buttons, or
strings take the place of proper bands.
Examine every garment as it comes
from the wash, and, if necessary, mend
it with neatness and precision.
Never carry coarse embroidered or
lace handkerchiefs. Fine plain ones
are much more ladylike.
Avoid open worked stockings and
very fancy slippers. Fine plain white
hose and black kid slippers, with only
q strap or rosette in front are more be.
coming.
Train yourself to a useful occupation
Remember it is wicked to waste time,
and nothing gives such an impression
of vanity and absolute Stiffness rs a
habit of idling and never having any
thing to do.
If you are in your fathers house take
some department of household labor
upon yourself, and part of the sewing,
and make it your business to attend to
it, Do not let call from this Idle girl
or visit from that, or an invitation
from the other, interfere with the per-
formance of your duty.
Let your pleasures come in as a reare.
ation-not as the business Of your life.
If you can, cultivate some art by
which you can gain an independent
livelihood Do it whether there is
necessity for it or not. Do it quietly if
you will, but do it, There is no telling
when or under what circumstances you
may need it.

"A Dangerous Enemy of Young

Seth Green, the noted pisciculturist,

ter rible destruction of very small trout,
and his Investigations have at length
resulted as follows:
"There is small worm which is q

Mewsnapcr Grurnbicrs.

Grumbling about newspapers is as an
cient as newspapers themselves. And
Notwithstanding the multiplication of
these modern conveniences, and the
sleepless efforts of publishers to adapt
their papers to every variety of taste,
and every shade of sentiment, afford
ing, one might think, ample opportun-
ity to readers to suit themselves per-
fectly, yet there is still as much grum-
bling about newspapers as there ever
was.
We suppose that it does not often oc-
cur to the grumblers that possibly they
themselves may be at fault, may be I'M
reasonable, may expect many impossi-
bilities, may be out of humor, may
have fit Of indigestion or spleen, or
may bo stupid or unapprcciative. 1t
may never occur TO them that the men
who toll night and day to furnish them
with the freshest news, and the greatest
variety of Information and entertain
ment, are mortal, and sometimes tire
themselves, and get sleepy and cross,
and stupid and forgetful, and careless
and need, and deserve, too, some con-
sideration, and even sympathy, from
those for whom they increasingly work.
Fa ult. finding readers do not consider
that ev erything that is made by human
brains and hands, must, of necessity,
be imperfect, however strong the desire
and however earnest the effort may be
| tA
they forget that newspaper cannot be
made for general circulation, and yet in
everything exactly suit any one person.
A thoroughly good, enterprising pa
per is like really we'll spread dinner
table. 1t contains variety, as well as
quantity; something for every taste,
and enough of each kind to satisfy any
reason able appetite. 1t is not expected
that any guest at td6le P hote should
cat of every dish provided. II is not
supposed for moment that every dish
will be palatable 10 every guest, or
gree with every ones digestion; but
it is thought, and reasonably, too, that
from the abundant bill of fare, every
guest can select enough of what will be
digestible and agreeable TO make sub.
stantial and satisfactory meal.
Just so it is with every well edited
newspaper. No one man is expected
to read everything in the paper, or to
like everything if he reads it; but
every man is expected to find enough
that is good, and useful, and acceptable
and agreeable, in the ample columns
spread out before him, to be a full equiv,
alent for what the paper costs him; and
if he happens to find in the carte an
article which oilcnds his taste, or is in
opposition to his views, nc has just tC
ct that alone, and leave it for another
whom it will just suit, and for whose
taste ii was gotten up, In choosing his
paper one should do just as he does in
choosing his restaurant-he should Sc
lect one whose general style suits him,
and when his taste changes, or the char
a cter of the parlor deteriorates, he
should change and try another, but
never fret or veX his neighbors by
grumbling or scolding about his daily
paper, which, after all, is about as nee
essary for his comfort as his dinner

SNAKES ANTIPATHY no FIRE
There IS in Brazil very common pois-
Onous snake, the surucu, respecting
which the inhabitants relate the folio
wing facts:-They say that such is the
antipathy of this reptile 10 fire, that
when fires is made in the clearing
away of woods, they rush into it, scat
tering it with their tails till it is extin-
guished, even becoming half-roasted
in the attempt; and that when an in.
dividual is passing at night with &
torch, they pass and repass him, ,lashing
him with their tails till he drops it,
and the snake is Immediately found
closely coiled round the eXtinguished
torch. The greatest enemy of this
snake is an immense lizard, five and
six feet long. 1t is said that when the
snake succeeds in eflecting a bite, the
lizard rushes into the woods, eats some
herb, and returns to the conflict, which
almost invariably terminates in itS
favor.

COOKING A MAE.-If any one looks
forward TO being eaten by cannibals, he
may wish to be informed how he is like
ly to be cooked. 1t is comfort to know
that the sayGges who may devour him
are by no means devoid of refinement
in their culinary disposition. Some
Frerch soldiers were lately taken pris-
oners by the Canaks, and one of them
was killed and eaten. His comrades
describe the process The Canaks first
decap itato the victim, matter Of no
small difficulty, considering the blunt
ues of their hatchets. Ten to fifteen
blows are necessary. The body is then
hung up to tree by the feet, and the
blood allowed TO run out for an hour.
NJ eanWhile a hole yard and II half
deep and yard wide is dug in the
ground. The hole is lined with stones,
and then in the midst of them great
fire is lit. When the wood is burnt
down little and glows with heat, it is
covered with more stones. The man is
cleaned out and divided into pieces
about foot long, the hands and feet
being thrown away as worthless. The
pieces of the man are placed on the
leaves of large rose peculiar to the
tropics. The meat is surrounded with
cocoa nuts, bananas, and some other
plants noted for their delicate flavor.
The whole is then tied together firmly
| The fire is removed from the pit, the
meat is placed in among the hot stones
and thus carefully covered is left IL
cook for an hour. Women do not par
take of this warriors feast, Men alone
are permitted TO enjoy SO great an hon
or aud so rare delicacy.

Sweet moon, love thee. yet grieve
To gaze on that pale orb tonight;
II tells me of that last dear eve
passed with her-my souls delight.
Hill, vale and wood and stream were dyed
In the pale glory OF thy beams,
As forth we wande red, side by side
Once more to tell loves burning dreams.
My fond arm was her living zone,
My hand within her hand was press'd,
And love was in each earnest tone,
And rapture In each heaving breast.
And many high and fervent vow
Was breathed from her full heart aud mine,
While thy calm light was on her brow
Like pure religion seal and sign.
We knew, alas! that we must part
We knew we must be severed long,
Yet joy was In each throbbing heart,
For love was deep, and faith was strong.
A thousand memories of the past
Were busy in each glowing breast,
And hope upon the future cast,
Her rainbow lines-and we were blest,
/ craved boon-Oh! In that boon
| There was wild, delrious bliss
All, didst thou ever gaze, sweet moon
Upon more impassioned kiss?
The parting came-one moment brief
| Her dim and fading form l Viewed
| Twas gone--and there ! stood in grief
Amid LIES awful solitude.
Tell me, sweet moon, for thou can'st tell.
| If passions stlll unchanged in hers
| Do thoughts of me her heart still swell
| Among her many worshipers?
| Say, does she sometimes wander now,
At eve beneath thy gentle flame,
| To raise to heaven her angel brow
| And breathe her absent lovers name?
| Oh, when her gentle lids are wet,
l pray thee, mark each falling gem,
And tell mo If my image yet
| Is pictured tremblingly in them!
Ay, tell me- does her bosom thrill
| As wildly as of yore for me-
Does her young heart adore me still,
Or is that young heart changed like thee?
| Oh, let thy beams, that softest shine,
If still my love to her Is dear,
Bear to her gentle heart from mine
| sigh, blessing, and a tear.
