KEEP Your FEET WARM.-To keep these
extremities warm is to effect an insurance
against the almost interminable list of disor,
ders which spring out of "slight cold"
First never be tightly shod. Boots or shoes,
when they fit closely, press against the foot,
and prevent the free circulation of the blood.
When, on the contrary, they do not embrace
the foot too tightly, the blood gets fair play,
and the spaces left between the leather and
stockings are filled with comfortable supply
of warm air. The second rule is, never sit in
damp shoes. 1t is often imagined that unless
they are positively wet, it is not necessary to
change them while the feet are at rest. This
is fallacy for when the least dampness is
absorbed into the sole, it is attracted further to
the foot itself by its own heat and thus perspi-
ration is dangerously checked. Any person
may prove this by trying the experiment OF
neglecting the rule, and his feet will become
cold and damp after few moments, taking of
the boot or shoe and warming it, it will appear
quite dry.

"Could you hear ?" she gasped:

shut herself up in the smoke-house, and would
not come out until after I had left the house.

Uncle Billy Objects to Civil Rights.

I interviewed" Uncle Billy, good colored
friend of mine, the other day, on the question
of civil rights. 49,,
"Don't want muffin more" said Uncle Billy.
"Got too much already fur dis niggah."
GLOW is that, Uncle Billy? Is it not good
thing to be equal before the law ?"
"Now, Marse Boss" grunted Billy, plain
lively, ''dar's jist whar de misery comes IN.
We're ekal before de law, an dar yer hit our
weak pint Before de war, eff niggah stole
chicken an pig, yer jerked him up, guy h1m
thirty nine lashes an let him 60. But Jlst let
cullud pusson try it now Yer hauls him
fore the court and sens him to de penitentla-
ry, just like he was one of yer:poor white trash.
Dat's what tits to be ekal fore DE law r
I suggested to Uncle Billy that this might be
obyiated by being little more honest.
"Marse Boss" interrupted Billy, "we can't
run agin natur. It's nat'ral fur niggah to steal
pig and chicken, fryin' size. Yer know it Is,
an faint no use tryin' to stop us. Now we
uns are willin' to let you uns alone, and you
all list let us alone on this pint. We're pow
erfnl weak on dis pint, Marse Boss.'
Just here perverse and disloyal spirit tempt.
ed me to hint to Uncle Billy that the colored
people were indebted to their Republican
| friends for this change in their status.
'Well, den, Marse Boss" said he, "all lse
got to say is, de laws got to be changed. MUS
6ab law for de white man and law for De
black man."
Strange as it may seem, some OF our best
citizens echo Uncle Billy's sentiment. Iney
are inclined to view the negro's minor trans
gressions in lenient light, and l know that
some of our Democratic Judges impose lighter
penalties upon colored men for small offences
I than they would do in cases where the guilty
parties we're white.
Before Uncle Billy left I asked him how he
would like to sit down at the table with white
| folks at the hotels.
"Great Goddlemighty," exclaimed the good
old man. Il allow youse tryin' to make fun o
dis chile. Why, you knows yourself dat no
cullud pusson ebber lets white man see 'em
eat if dey kin help it."
This is strictly true. The ordinary Southern
negro will not eat in the presence Of white
| spectator.
"Well, Uncle Billy" said, "it is very evi-
dent that you don't want any civil rights"
"Not anything more, tank you" replied
Billy. "Nearly done ruined now. Hev to pay
my own doctors bills, lost all my money in the
Freedmen's Bank; nebber got no forty acres

Now, that particular suit OF clothes was just
the neatest one ever owned-arm holes, COL

CLAIMS OF LABoR.-The working-man, as
soon as he emerges from condition OF abject
ignorance, demands an equitable share of the
profits of his industry. He feels that in return
for faithful and persistent labor, and the prac-
tice Of strict economy and prudence, he is enti-
tied to something more than bare subsistence:
He should have the satisfaction and reward OF
accumulation. The results Of his toll, after
reasonable length of tine, should be such as to
place him in position of comfort and inde-
pendence. He does not childishly ask to be
made rich by act of legislature, but merely to
be allowed to hold what is properly his own.
The farmer wants to know, when he brings his
wheat and corn, his vegetables and fruits, into
market, why he can get barely the cost Of pro-
duction, often less than the cost, while on
everything he buys-his tea and sugar and
cloth, his tools and implements-he has to pay
profit of from thirty to one hundred per cent.
The working men and women are acquiring
the disagreeable habit of asking why the mer-
chant, the banker, the speculator, who add not
one dollar to the available wealth Of the COM
munity, should grow rich, while the majority
of those to whose faithful toll the world is in
debted for all the wealth there is, are put to
their wits end to get the barest subsistence.
In word, why should the creators of wealth
get the smallest share of it? This is simple
question, but it goes to the bottom of our social
organization, and touches the fundamental in
justice. 1t is fairly launched upon the current
of public thought, and nothing can prevent its
being carried to its logical conclusions. 1t
involves radical investigation of banking and
currency, of land tenures and interest; and it
points to the substitution of some system OF
equitable cooperation in place Of the present
absurd and ruinous principle of competition
and profits.

Nothing can restore ( the hair where the follicles. are de- stroyed, or the glands 1atrophisd and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, SO that a new growth of harris produced.
