Winter Clothing of Children.

THE outer clothing for children should
be warm but not heavy, for it is false
notion to suppose that a quantity of heavy
clothing is good for child; it only tires,
without infusing warmth. Alright ma
terials and water-proofs are also injurious
to health. AS rule, loose textures are
warmer and healthier than very close
ones; and fluffy materials are Infinitely
better preservatives against the cold than
close and smooth materials. Color has
also a great influence on the warmth of
clothing; thus white, which is coolest in
summer, is also warmest in winter, and
black the reverse! To preserve health it
is also necessary to go out in all weathers !;
and in no case should the child be too
much wrapped up. A short, loose jacket
for cold days is a good outward covering,
or soft wOOlly pOlOnaise-anything, in
fact, which is warm without being too
heavy, nor preventing the free use of
every limb. Heavy clothing engenders
undue perspiration, which should be par
ticularly guarded against in the open air,
especially at this time of the year. Dur
ing the time that children are out of their
nursery or schoolroom, the windows
should be left open top and bottom; thus
the air of the room will be purified before
they return to it. (The windows, of course,
must be closed before the children enter
the room again.) These may seem very
trif1ing and useless hints to many; to 9TH
ers, however, they may not be without
value. Children are delicate plants, and
to be reared into stalwart trees they need
care and thought during the early years
of their tender growth Daily Graphic.

Three Men in Niagara River.

THREE men named A. Rose, Henry Won
Wagnem, and Joseph Giroux, living in
the vicinity of the works of the Niagara
River Iron Company, went out upon the
river some time before noon yesterday on
a shooting excursion, as is supposed. The
party brought sail boat into requisitlon,
but had not been long upon the Niagara
before the boat was capsized by sudden
squall. The men were thrown out, but
managed to gain a footing on the ice,
which was being rapidly borne down
the river. AT noon the three men were
discovered ON the ice nearly in front of
the works already mentioned, and their
pitiful cries for help attracted a great
many people to the Shore The crowd
were bewildered with terror, and found
themselves absolutely powerless to rem
der aid. The ice was running with re-
lentless swiftness and the rescue of the
men seemed to admit of no delay. The
greatest excitement prevailed and the un-
fortunate trio were considered doomed.
In this extremity man was suddenly
dispatched from the iron works for the
Grand Island ferry tug Ada, and to the
summons for help Capt. Adam Hartman
responded with alacrity. His boat had
barely fuel for miles travel, and he
could not have anticipated for her any
thing buta severe struggle with the swift
current, the heavy ice and the gale that
had set in, but he resolved upon prompt
action and went as speedily as possible to
the rescue. He pursued the men down
the river, but before he could reach the
foes upon which they drifted one of the
party, Joseph Giroux, fell into the angry
waters and was seen no more. The other
two were rescued short distance this
side of La Sale, and when taken off were
badly frozen and completely exhausted
They could not have maintained their
ground many minutes longer, and alto
gether they must have been for nearly
three hours in the very face of death.

mourn his untimely taking off.-Bufazo

grown specimens, for these may not be
any better than the very small ones; but
the fully developed, thoroughly ripened
tubers are always the best, and these are
generally of medium size, varying, of
course, according to the variety
Whether it is best to plant early or late
in spring depends very much upon the
locality and season; consequently there
is little room for argument on this point.
But, as rule, if the potatoes come for
ward before hot weather, they will not
| only yield better, but the tubers will be
of better quality. There is, however, lit
tie to be gained by putting seed in the
earth until it is warm and dry enough to
work easily.
Planting is another operation which
should be varied according to circum-
stances. In alight, dry, warm soil, the
seed may be placed deeper than in a
heavy, cold one, but, as a rule, potatoes
are not planted deep enough to insure a
healthy growth and large yield. The tub
ers are not produced upon the true roots
of the plants, as many suppose, but on
subterranean branches which spring
from the principal stem, mainly above the
roots. This being the case, we can
readily understand how rather deep
planting will facilitate the issuing ofroots,
and also afford greater length of
stem below the surface for the production
of bearing branches. The killing up of
the growing plants so long practised by
the cultivators of potatoes produces SIM
liar results to deep planting, and we have
no doubt i. came into use long before the
reason why it increased the yield was
known. 1t is still an open question
among our farmers whether deeper plant
ing and level culture is not far preferable
to shallow planting, followed by the usual
hilling-up process.
The tendency, however, among our
most extensive cultivators of potatoes is to
adopt the former system, and we think it
is preferable to the latter, especially in
warm climates and in dry seasons. Under
what is termed level culture, the soil re-
mains comparatively cool and moist,
whereas, if thrown up in ridges or hills,
it is likely to become hot and dry. But
climate and soil should always be taken
into consideration in adopting any par
ticular method of .culture.-N. Y. Sun.

Feeding Stock with Profit.

In theory a fattening animal cannot be
overfed; but in practice the limit of ex-
cessive feeding is fixed by the animals
powers Of assimilation. The feeder must
consider various circumstances, such as
the quality of the food-for if it be rich
and lavishly used large quantity will be
elected in an undigested state-the state
of the animal, his age and condition.
Lean animals, for example, are unable to
appropriate an enormous amount of high
ly nutritious food, and they are liable to
be very much upset if they are fed too
fast until they have begun to move in the
right direction. They should be kept on
cheap and bulky food till their powers of
assimilation have improved with their
condition, when they should be pushed on
more rapidly. The art of fattening de-
ponds on supplying an excess of food jul
diciouslY. A mature animal needs GER
tain amount of food to maintain him in
store condition, and the greater amount
he can be induced to take over and above
this fixed quantity the faster will the proc
ess of fattening proceed and the smaller
will be the waste of that portion of food
which goes merely to maintain life and
which must, therefore, be lost, in sense,
to the feeder-N. p. Herald

Youthful HerOism.

THE New York Tribune says: "Once in
while is told some story of heroism in
a child which ought to help the profess
sional cynic to a little faith in his kind.
Not long ago, young girl, lost in the
woods with her little brother, protected
him from the weather all through bit
ter night at the cost of her own frozen
limbs, Some days ago, three children, a
little girl of six, her brother only four,
and another little boy six years old, went
to pond, in. Kentucky, to skate. That
day the ice had been cut from half the
pond; and the six-year-old boy skated
directly into the deep water and sank.
The three small creatures were all alone
there. The four-year-old tried to rescue
the poor child, but failed; then the little
girl, with presence of mind woman
might be proud to own, walked to the
edge of the ice, waited until the BOY rose,
gasping, seized him and drew him out.
What a glittering romance might be built
upon this true story of a child's courage!'
