Importance Of Wholesome Beds.

Sleep to the workingman is emphat-
ically natures restorer, reinvigorating
the physical system, which through much
toll has become weary, and keeping up
the flow of life and spirits which are
necessary to the performance of the
arduous duties of firm life. A comfort
able bed, as we are all aware, conduces
greatly to ones rest. On this subject a
recent writer says:
OF the eight pounds which man eats
and drinks in day it is thought that no
less than five pounds leave his body
through the skin. And of these five
pounds considerable per cent escapes
during the night while he is in bed The
largest portion of this is water, but in
addition there Is much effcte and poison
Gus matter. Tnis, being in great part
gaseous in form, permeates every part of
the bed, mattress and blankets as we'll as
sheets, which soon become foul and need
publication.
The mattress needs the renovation
quite as much as the sheets. To allow
the sheet to be used, without washing or
changing, three or six months, would be
regarded as bad housekeeping but in
sist if thin sheet can absorb enough of
the eXcTetions of the body to make it un-
fit for use in few days, thick mat
tress, which can absorb and retain a
thousand times as much of these
poisonous eXcretions, needs to be puri-
fed as often, certainly, as once in three
months.
A sheet can be washed. A mattress
cannot he renovated in this way. In.
deed, there is no way of cleansing a
mattress but by steaming it or picking il
to pieces, and thus, in fragments, expos
ing it to the rays of the sun AS these
processes are scarcely practicable with
any of the ordinary mattresses, am de
cidedly of the opinion that the good old

Naming Children.

IT is n fearful responsibility to be
delegated to name a child which is not
your own. So far as my children are
concerned | am never bothered; | Just
watch them for few days to catch
leading trait in their character and then
found the name on that. If they are
ld-tempered and peaceful / select
some such name as Placid, Contentment,
Harmony or Peace, and If ugly, saddle
'em with Hurricane, Tornado, Tom Say
ers, Cape Horn or Texas Jack Strangers
are sometimes amazed to see me 90 down
to the gate, and hear me call out :
"Tornado Sayers Cape Horn Johnson
Quad, you and Contentment Harmony

but run my domestic affairs as suits me
best.
Mrs. Dalson was over the other day
with her baby. 1t is stub-nOsed, red
faced rascal, and / hope he'll never be
named at all. She put him into my lap
and said:
"Now do give him name-something
sweet and handsome and good"
The young scoundrcl looked me in the
eye for moment and then deliberately
kicked me five times in the stomach, and
clawed my nose. l told his mother that
she'd better name him TaranEula, or
Centipede, or Cougar, and she picked
him up, hugged him, and said that had
the reputation all over the neighborhood
of being brute.
Mrs. Dogber also brought over her
offspring the other evening 1t is a girl,
with red hair, white eyes, and large ears,
and she spit at me the moment took her
up-spit full in my face, and then howled
and kicked and fought to get hold of my
neck-tie.
"She's such blessed, sweet-tempered
little angel, that you must give her some
awful nice name" said the mother
suggested Susie, Bessie, Bella, Dolly,
Betsy, Mollie, Sallie, Tillie, and fifty
other names, but Mrs. Dogber replied
that hadn't any refinement about me,

WHISKY AND THE WEEp.--Intelligen
psychologists and pathoioglsts admit that
all so-called medicines containing alco-
hol-whether they emanate from the
regular pharmacopeia and are called
tiRctures, or from the Empirical Rum
Mills, and are labeled Tonics'--are
essentially dangerous and destructive.
The only way in which drunkenness can
be arrested Is by restoring the integrity
Of the nerves Especially the nerves of
taste and the great sympathetic netve),
and purifying the animal fluids; and
these objects are more certainly and
swiftly accomplished by the use of Dr.
WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs than by any
other means. Hence, probably, the opin.

How to Keep Apples Through tho
Winter.

THE following suggestions are by
Alexander Hyde, in the New York
Times
"To aid the barrel and the skin of the
apple in keeping out the air many wrap
their apples in papef-manila paper is
the best and is very cheap, but old news
papers will answer-each apple by itself.
This not only aids In keeping out the air,
but prevents the apple from bruislns In
transportation. Oranges are always i'm
ported with paper wrapped around
them. Paper is not only very imper.
vious to air but is non-conductor of
heat and serves to keep the fruit of a
uniform temperRture-a point of some
Importance.
| "a more effectual mode still of pre-
serving apples is to fill the barrels nearly
full of apples and then put in some thor
toughly dry fine sand and shake it down
gently. This will fill up all the inter
sticcs between the apples and keep them
indefinitely and almost perfectly fresh
In lieu Of dry sand, gtouhd plaster
| (gypsum) may be used, and is perhaps
still better, as il is more compact and
therefore, less pervious to air. We have
known apples kent in this manner fol
two years,
1.-THE virtues of dry sand and blastei
for preserving apples, pears, and othel
fruits are well understood by the pre-
MUM hunters at our horticultural fairs
The incest specimens of Bartlett pears
are packed away in sand and brough
out month or six weeks after they ART
picked as fresh as though they were jus
from the tree. 1t is very little trotble t
put plaster or sand into barrel: but /
is some botheration to get the apples ou
and wash and wipe them, and the trans
portation of sand will never pay, so tina
we should not recommend this practic
except for n few choice barrels for tn
use Of family and friends
"Another mode very analogous to tn
foregoing is to pit the apples in som
dry, sandy, or gravelly soil, just as tuI
nips and potatoes are pitted. They vii
/ keep splendidly through the winter thu
pitted, but must be used speedily in til
spring after they are dug out, as they vii
/ fot soon after exposure TO the light an
/ air. In order to pit apples, select som
1 dry spot, where there is no possibility O
water filling the pit, and dig hole thre
! or four feet deep and Of any require
! size, place some clean, dry straw on tn
!. bottom, and on this the apples, to til
I depth of two feet, covering the Who'll
WIN u ldgc vi straw anu lucu lay ytl I
n dry earth, raising the latter above tn
/ general level of the ground and slopin
a it roof fashion, so that it will shed rail-
. The apples will come out In the srfih
i as crisp as cabbages when pitted in tn
O way.
"Instead of one large pit, it is bette
to make several smaller ones, holdir
eight to twelve buehels each, so that or
pit may be opened after another In Il
o spring, as the apples may be wanted, {
3 the apples may be buried in the grour
n in barrels and barrel taken up at
!. time. We hate known this latter moo
to succeed admirably"

How to Avoid Taking Cold.

a COLD is simply a developer of dis
eascd constitution which may have been
latent or requiring only some favoring
condition TO burst out into the flame of
disease. That this is usually the correct
view of cold as a disease producing agent
under all ordinary circumstances may be
made plain by reflection upon personal
experience even to the most ordinary un-
derstanding. When the human body is
at its prime-with youth, vigor, purity
and good constitution on its Jide-no
degree of ordinary exposure to cold gives
rise to any unpleasant effects. All the
ordinary precautions against colds,
coughs and rheumatic pains may be dis
regarded, and no Ill effects ensue. But
let the blood become impure, let the
body become deranged from any acquired
disorder, or let the vigor begin to wane,
and the infrmities of age be felt by occa-
sional arrangements in some vital part,
either from inherited or acquired abuses,
and the action of cold win excite more or
less disorder of some kind, and the form
of this disorder, or the disease which will
Cnsle, will be determined by the kind of
pre-eXisting blood impurity or the pre-
existing fault of the organic processes.

And merry the pipers did play,
