The chief secret of comfort lies in not suf-

How to Walk.

Halls Journal of Health say: Gan
erect gait gives to woman a queen
ly appearance, and to men an air OF
manliness, integrity and fearlessness,
To bend forward or downward while
walking indicates mobility, depres-
sion or mental trouble, and aggra.
Yates itself and promotes diseases,
Pads ard supports are all pernicious,
aud are worse than useless, because
they teach the system to rely on
them and cannot support the one
part Of the body without causing an
unnatural strain on some other part,
and to that extent, tend TO disease
that part There is always one cas-
lily available and successful method
of acquiring an erect, manly gait,
without any material effort, or feel'
ing of awkwardness Let the chin
be little above a horizontal line,
which is easily done by keeping the
eye fixed on the top Of some per-
sons hat or bonnet in front of you.
The habit Of this erect carriage may
be facilitated by accustoming your,
self, when at home, in the garden OF
other places, to walk with the hands
behind, held in one another, and the
head up as is done in singing q
tune"

Coal OIL FOR BALD HEADs.-A
paper in Mississippi, apparently as
serious as a deacon, says: We have
heard it stated several times that Mr..
Samuel Bryent, who has been bare
faced on the top of his head, had, by
the use of coal oil, grown a thick
coating Of hair on the aforesaid bald
head. We saw Mr.. Bryant recently,
and, on examination, found the state
ment correct. He told us that the
way he found out this property of
coal oil was simply this.
He had large boil on the bald
place on his head, which gave him
much pain, and, in the absence OF
anything else, he rubbed coal oil on
it. He says it relieved the pain al
most instantly, SO he continued to
rub on the oil until the boil was en-
rirely well, when, to his surprise, he
found thin coating OF hair coming
out over the bald place. He contin-
ued the use of the oil for month or
two, and now has a heavy coat OF
hair on his head.

sD-The Chicago Republican very
truly says:
The tendency in the United States
is to a disproportionate increase Of
the non.productivo classes. The
youth are being educated to a plane
above the level of labor. Our col
leges and schools turn out ministers,
doctors, lawyers, congressman, office
seekers, book-keepers, statesmen, and
man-milliners, not farmers or artisans.
Precisely as the young person has
bcen subjected to the process of what
we call our system of education, does
he acquire an indisposition to life
of productive labor. The tendency
OF these victims-especially Of such
as cherish mercantile aspirations-is
toward the cities and the result is
that the cities are always overstock-
ed with this order of inhabitants !;
the members Of which, getting but
precarious support in the best Of
times, begin to suffer with the first
symptoms Of revulsion. OF the en-
tire people, they, as class, are the
most helpless the least fit TO encoun-
ter adverse circumstances, the least
capable to forecast unpropitious
changes. and the least courageous to
encounter them when they arrive.

A BREED OF WALKING HoRsEs.-
What use are fast horses to farmers
Can they put them to work in the
pillow, harrow, cultivator, roller, reap
ing machine, cart, or wagon No.
A storm might arise and the whole
crop of hay be ruined, if they had to
depend on 2:40 horses to haul it in.
There is but one use that we can see
that farmer might put them to-
sending for a doctor but as farmers
have very little occasion for this pro-
tessional gentleman, and never get
very sick, a slower and surer horse
will answer better. Why then par
ade these horses at the the head of
the lists at agricultural fairs, and
give them the biggest premiums
No wonder our practical farmers
complain of this, while there is no
premium at all for walking horses,
which are more useful Germantown

WASTE OF LIVING ANIMALs.-It
takes certain amount of waste to
supply the animal economy, and the
waste is in proportion to the length
Of life. 1t costs just twice as much
to proloug this waste two years as it
does one, and more goes to waste in
cold weather than in warm, hence
the economy of providing warm shell
ter and plenty OF food. Animals so
provided will be sleek and healthy.
while the others will be gaunt and
shivering. and their coats staring
Stablemen understand the economy
of keeping fine horses warmly cloth
ed in winter. 1t is only another
name for preventing waste. Too
many ordinary farmers fail to see it.
Try sheltering your stock one win
ter, and see how you and they like 1t.

The LOWEST TYPE OF HUMANITY.
The following extract is from an
article on "Barbarism and CiviIiza.
ton" in the Adcocdte Wonthly:
On the Island of Borneo there has
been found a certain race of wild
creatures, of which kindred varieties
have been discovered in the PhilIi-
pine Islands, in Terra del Fuego, and
in South America. They walk usu-
ally, almost erect, on two legs, and
in that attitude measure about four
feet in height. They are dark,
wrinkled and hairy. They construct
no habitation, from no families, scar
cely associate together, sleep in caves
or trees, feed on snakes and vermin,
on ants legs, on mice and on each
other. They cannot be tanned or
forced TO any labor, and are hunted
and shot among the trees like great
gorilla, Of which they are a stunted
copy, When they are captured alive,
one finds with surprise, that their an
couth jabbering sounds like articu-
late language. They turn up hui
man face to gaze at their captor, and
females show instincts of modesty !;
and, in fine, these wretched beings
are men.

k@-Spontaneous combustion occurs
much more frequently than is gener-
ally supposed and the Boston Jour
nal Of Chemistry is of the opinion that
many fires ascribed to ineendiarism
have owed their origin to that cause.
Such combustion differs from ordin-
airy burning only in that the union
of the combustible substance with
the oxygen of the air is more grad
ual. When log of wood rots in the
forest, it is as really burned up as
when it blazes in the fireplace, only
the process is so slow that the heat
is not perceptible. The rusting of
metals is another form of slow COM
bustion and if the rusting is sufii-
ciontly rapid, the rise of temperature
is readily detected. In inhammable
substances, when slow combustion
begins, the heat set free causes the
oxidation to 90 on faster and faster,
until the mass bursts into flame
Oily rags used by painters and cot
ton waste used for wiping machinery
are common causes of spontaneous
combustion. Oil split on dry saw
dust has been known to take fire in
this way. Oils that oxidize readily,
like cotton-seed oil, are especially
liable to take fire without apparent
cause. Hay, cotton, tow, flax, hemp,
rags, leaves, spent tow, straw in ma
nure heaps, all are liable to take fire
spontaneously when stacked in guam
titles in a damp state. These are
facts which every one should under
stand, as the knowledge Of them may
in many instances lead to precautions
of the utmost Importance.
