UNFINISHED STILL.

BABY's boot and q skein Of wool,
FADED and soiled and soft;
Odd things, you say, and doubt you're right,
Round seaman's neck this stormy night,
Up in the yards al0ft.
Most like it's folly; but. mate, look here:
When first went to sea,
a woman stood on yon far-of strand,
With wedding ring on the small soft hand
Which clung SO close to me.
Ny wife-God bless herl The day before,
She sat beside my foot;
And the sunlight kissed her yellow haT,
And the dainty fingers, deft and fair,
Knitted baby's boot.
The voyage was over: l came ashore
What. think you, .found there?
A grave the daisies had sprlnkled white,
a cottage empty and dark as night,
And this beside the chair:
The little boot, twas unfinished still;
The tangled skein lay near;
Rnt the knitter had gone away to rest,
With the ba be asleep on her quiet breast,
Down in the churchYard drear.

Over-Heating.

THE perniciOus habit of over-heatmg
particular sections of the air we breathe
in rooms which we have to quit from time
to time to dive into sharply cold atmos-
phere-is one of the most dangerous
habits of our social life The wonder is
that so many Of our young girls escape
the natural consequences of plunging from
extreme heat into extreme cold half a
dozen times III the course Of an evening,
as they must do when they leave the din
ing-room for dart across the pavement
the close brougham for the open vestibule
Of theatre, and the unWhOlesOme and
oppressive warmth of an Opera-bOX for
still another pause in the cold corridor,
and still another plunge in the street be
fore being whirled home. In many cases
these risks appear to be almost unavoida-
BILE, so long as our present notions OF social
amusement remain.
When twenty or thirty people are dane
ing, or pretending to dance, and sixty OF
seventy others are standing packed to-
gether, in a room 40X25 feet, the atmOS-
phere of that room soon begins to differ
perceptibly from the atmosphere about
the region of the stairs, where powerful
draught is sure to prevail, and that sharp
difference of temperature IS only likely to
have such results upon the throats and
lungs of incautious dancers as their doc
tors have afterwards to discover, But in
the management of our houses, at ordi-
nary times and seasons, the system of
overheating particular rooms, careless Of
any future contact with the outside air, is
carried to most deplorablc extent.
Moreover, with the excessive heat, all
manner of noxious vapors are imprisoned
Paterfamilias gets home to dine. The
diningroom windows have been kept
closed all day, and the fire lit, so as to
have the apartment cosy and comfortable

or lets of gas are lit shutters are careful
