JUST LOOKING ARoUND.-The New York
Standard tells the following good story: At
six O'Clock one morning, about three weeks
ago, policeman was standing upon the cor
ner OF Sixth avenue, near one of the upper
streets, when he was approached by gen
tleman, who pointing to the street, modest.
| IL said: "Mr. Officer, there is a stone in the
street; will you remove it ?" The policeman
looked astonished, and said: "That is not
my business; do not look after those
| things: other parties ought to do that"
But" persisted his quiet interrogation, "you
are appointed to protect the lives and prop
erty OF the city. That stone may cause a
| horse to stumble, a child to be thrown out of
wagon and killed, some poor mans prop
erty to be destroyed. AS a citizen, l thought
there. If you don't remove it, will have
to, although I thought such things were
more particularly to be done by YOU" The
policeman, not at all ill-humored, as he at
terward related, said; YOU'RE about right,
sir may ask your name ?" my names
Hall Ghe Mayor of the city,; was just

Many persons lose their lives every year
oy an 1njudicious change of clothing, and the
principles involved need repetition every
year. If clothing is to be diminished, it
should be done in the morning when nrsC

put on at any time. In the Northern States
the under-garments should not be changed
for those less heavy sooner than the middle
Of May !; for even in June fire is very COM
Portable sometimes in a New York parlor.
Half the diseases of humanity would be
swept from existence If the human BODY
were comfortably warm all the time. The
discomfort of cold feet, or chilly room,
many have experienced to their sorrow;
they make the mind peevish and fretful,
while they expose the body to colds and in
famations, which often destroy 1t in less
than week.-Halps Journal Of Health.

Simmons, who lost his life at New Hamburg,
while endeavoring to save the lives OF those
under his care, stands Mr.. James McDermott,
the noble-hearted engineer OF the west Fltt-
son breaker, who stood at his post hosting
his fellow workmen from the suffocating
tomb below, until his hair was burned from
his head, and his clothes from his body, and

was rendered useless by the flames. Such
men honor their race, and their names should
be heralded to the world as models OF hu-
manity.
There is danger that the yellow fever now

New York is not little alarmed by the re-
port that a cargo of hides from there has re-
Gently been landed at Fulton Ferry. The
whole country is interested, for if the chief
city of the land should fall prey to pesti-

would stop.
Beau Hickman, for the twenty-five years

An awkward looking, stage-struck Hoosier
