AN OBTUSE MAN.

She was stylish young lady about
eighteen years old, and to accommodate
a friend she took the baby out for an
airing. She was wheeling it up and

CARE OF HEALTH.

Much of the sickness to which we are
exposed is the result of sheer careless
ness. We violate the laws of health.
We over-do, 90 without sleep and par
take Of food without using the reason
which is given US in place of animal in
stinct As general rule, animals are
more wisely governed in regard to these
things than we are with all our reason.
A dog deprived of sleep will make it up
the first opportunity. The carrier pig
con, we are told, after long flight re-
fuses to eat. 1t goes Immediately to
sleep, and when it awakes, drinks lit
tie water, and then sleeps again. This it
does by instinct and can we not learn
something from it?
We have reason instead of instinct,
but we do not use it. When tired and
hungry we first glut ourselves, and then
try in vain to sleep. We are restless,
have frightful dreams, and wake up tir-
ed and sick. all because of an excessive
meal after excessive fatigue. The stom-
ach is not in state to digest food, and
food undigested is a burden, weakening
instead of Strengthening us. This is
matter that reason-common sense
should apprehend and utilize. especially
at this time of the year, when everybody
is going on excursions, searching dill
gently for health, and striving in some
way to recuperate their exhausted
strength. How important that they
should use reason as faithfully as the
bird, instinct, and not let the instru-
mentality which they employ for restor-
alton, be curse instead of blessing
The AdUonce gives us an account which
will illustrate this point:
A party of travellers visiting one of
our cities, spent long and hard day in
some expedition and sightseeing. They
came home at night utterly weary, ate a
hearty supper and went to bed. There
was nothing specially harmful in the
food, but in the night several were TAX
en- i'll. The nerves were tasked beyond
endurance. Some were more or less all
ing for week, and one of them who
was not strong, died. This was set
down as an "affllctive dispensatlon of
Providence" and possibly it may be
wise to stop here and say no more, or
merely to repeat: When the system is
exhausted by fatigue, or In any way, the
supply of food should be very moderate,
and be quietly and slowly taken.
"Tired out, and hungry as a bear !"
aud then how common it is to take a
full supply of food, rapidly and eagerly.
And how common it is to send for the
doctor and say the food disagreed with
him. Not so; the food was we'll enough,
and he disagreed with it. Wisdom ill
this respect would cost us doctors many
long bill, but it would save many a
nights rest. And as people would live
longer we might gain in the end

ENAMELED CEILINGs.-A refreshment
saloon in London has been finished in
side in such a manner as to be readily
washed out with hose. The floor is
paved. the walls are of majolica and the
ceiling is covered with enameled sheet
iron. When it is desired to clean the
room, the furniture is removed, the lose
is laid on, and the place is simply
drenehed and flooded till clean. The
ceiling is the novel feature of the room.
To prepare it, large pieces of sheet iron
we're coated with white enamel in the
usual manner, and were then handsome
ly painted in colors. After baking to
secure the colors, the sheets were affixed
to the beams Of the floor overhead. The
joints were made to fit tight, and once
in place, the enameled plates will last
as long as the building stands. This
style of ceiling is partially 6re-proof,
and saves all the expense. repairs and
dangers of laths and plaster. There is
no patent on this system of ceilings. and
any enameling firm may make the sheets
in plain colors, clear white, or in pat
terms to fit any refreshment-rOOm, bath
room, laundry, dairy, or other room
where a washable ceiling is desired
