A BOYS IDEA OF HEADs.-Heads are
of different shapes and sizes. They are
full of notions. Large heads do not al
ways hold the most. Some persons can
tell just what man is by the shape Of
his head. High heads are the best
kind. Very knowing people are called
long-headed. A fellow that won't stop
for anything or anybody is called hot
headed. If he is not quite so bright
they call him soft-headed. If he won't
be coaxed nor turned they call him pig
headed Animals have very small
heads. The heads of fools slant back.
When your head is cut off you are be-
headed. Our heads are covered with
hair, except bald heads. There are bar
rel heads; heads of sermons-and some
ministers used to have fifteen heads to
one sermon pin heads; heads of cattle,
as the farmer calls his COWS and oxen
head winds; drum heads; cabbage
heads; at loggerheads come to head ;
heads of chapters; head him off; head
of the family; and go ahead-but first
be sure you are right but the worst Of
all heads are dead-heads, who hang
around for free tickets to shows.

HOW AN EDITOR WORSTED A
WOMAN BOOK AGENT.

We had visit from book-peddling
female last week. She wished to dis
pose of a book. She was alone in this
world, and had no one to whom she
could turn for sympathy or assistance,
hence we should buy her book. She
was unmarried, and had no manly heart
in which she could pour her sufferings,
therefore we ought to invest in her
book. She had received liberal edu-
cation and could talk French like ma
tive; we could not ln consequence re-
fuse to pay her two dollars for book.
She wanted to take lessons in music
from a learned German professor, conse-
quently We must not decline buying a
book. We had listened attentively. and
here broke in with, .what did you say. :?
We're deaf She started in loud
voice and went through her rigmarole.
When she had finished we went and got
a roll of paper and made it into speak
ing-trumpet. placed one end in our ear,
and then told her to proceed. She near
ly burst blood vessel in her frantic
effort to make herself heard She COM

US. We are not alone in fact We are
husband and father. Although this is
leap year, bigamy is not allowed in this
State. We are not eligible to propo-
sals.'' ..Oh what fool this man is. .
she said in low tone then at the top
of her voice, Il don't want to marry

The FEET.-There are no parts of
the human body that need more assid-
uous attention than the feet. If the eyes,
ears, lungs, or other more delicate or
gans become deranged, they give warning
by ailment 1t is otherwise with the
feet. They may be neglected or even
abused without any bad consequences
being Immediately felt; but then, though
not Immediately felt, they will to GER
tainty be eventually felt, and felt very
sorely too. An excessive flow of blood
to the head, extreme liability to cold,
disordered digestion, and other numer-
GUS evils are the results of inattention
to the feet. The feet should be regular.
iy washed and wiped every day. STOCK
ings should not be put on while there
is the slightest moisture on the feet.
The stockings absorb the moisture, and
gradually return it to the feet, thereby
causing them to feel cold and uncomfort-
able, and what is worse, when the feet
are cold, circulation is interfered with,
and the whole system, especially the
brain, is thrown into an abnormal state.
Keep the feet clean and warm, the head
cool. and the bowels open. and then it
makes little difference to you whether
the physicians be skillful or not. If
you wish to preserve your whole system
IN good working order. be sure and at
tend to your feet. Let all our readers
profit by these remarks, and they will
soon feel by experience that we are not
exaggerating the consequences of proper
attention to the feet.
