Importance of Wholesome BEDS.

OF the eight pounds which man eats and
drinks. in day, it is thought that not less
than five pounds leave his body through the
skin. And of these five pounds consider
able percentage escapes during the night
while he is in bed. The larger portion of
this is in water, but in addition there is much
etfete and poisonous matter. This, being in
great part gaseous in form, permeates every
part of the bed. Thus all parts of the bed
mattress, blankets as well as sheets, soon be-
come foul and need publication.
The mattress needs the renovation quite as
much as the sheets. To allow the sheets to
be used without washing or changing, three
or six months, would be regarded as bad
housekeeping; but insist if thin sheet
can absorb enough of the excretions of the
body to make it unfit for use in few days, a
thick mattress, which can absorb anc con-
tain thousand times as much of these poi
sonous excretions, needs to be purified as
often certainly as once in three months.
A sheet can be washed. A mattrass can
not be renovated in this way. Indeed, there
is no way of cleansing mattress but by
steaming it, or picking it to pieces, and thus
bv fragments exposing it to the rays OF the
sun. AS these processes are scarcely practi
cable with any of the ordinary mattresses, l
am decidedly of the opinion that the good
old fashioned straw bed, which can every
three months be changed 1or freSh straw, and
the tick washed, is tue sweetest and healthi-
est of beds.
If, in the wintry season, the porousness of
the straw bed makes it little uncomfortable,
spread over it comforter or two wooden.
blankets, which should be washed as often as
every two weeks. With this arrangement, if
you wash all the bed coverings as often as
once in two or three weeks, you will have
delightfully."- healthy bed.
Now if you leave the bed to air, with open
windows during the day, and not make 1t up
for the night before evening, you will have
added greatly to the sweetness of your rest,
and, in consequence, to the tone of your
health,

POETRY.
MARCH.
An IGyl.


With sullen eye and plotting brain,
Scanning the sunless wastes again;
A huntsman on the dreary PLAN
Filings the storms jesses all amain,
Aud marks their whistling pinions sweep,
The shivering woods aud naked wales;
While dashed by equinoctial gales,
His gusty beard behind him trails
In many wrinkled heap.
Above he hears the mournful cries
OF garrulous geese, like phantasies
Drifting adown the leadeu sk!es
To CHASTITY shores, where, dumbly wise,
The shuddering needle points fore'er,
And, mid the wrack Of polar gloom,
Whence wandering bergs, mysterious loom,
Urged ike lost souls to CULTS of doom,
Struggle his fancies drear.

Scarlet Fever.

Hundreds of children have fallen victims to
scarlet fever in this city during the past three
months. Concerning the treatment of this
disease, an eminent physician says that he
does not fail in effecting cure more than
once in hundred cases, by giving the pa
tient warm lemonade with gum arabic dis
solved in 1t. A cloth wrung out of hot water
and laid upon the stomach should be renewed
as rapidly as itbecomeS cool. To this sim
pie treatment the most obstinate cases seldom
tail to succumb.-Germantoa0n Telegraph.
The Portland daily press., 1875-03-01

Thousands have been changed by the use Of this
remedy from weak, sickly, suffering creatures. to
strong, healthy happy men and women; and invallds
cannot reasonably hesitate to give it trial.

A BOOt-Rack.

One of the greatest troubles of the neat
housewife in the country results from muddy
boots of those members of the family who
have to work in the fields, the stables and the
barn-yard. The wet boots must be dried and
are generally left under the kitchen stove,
where their presence is very disagreeable.
Now, to have neat kitchen, there should be
a boot-rack placed behind the stove, in which
the damp boots may be placed to dry. Such
contrivance has been found a great conven-
fence. 1t has three shelves about four feet
ong, ten inches wide, and placed foot apart.
At one end boot-jaak is fixed by hinges, so
that. when not in use,it is folded against one
end of the rack and secured by button.
There is also stand for cleaning boots at the
front, which also folds up when not in use,
and the backing brushes are placed on the
shelves behind the stand, and are out Of sight
and when folded they hang down out of the
way. The rack should be made of dressed
pine boards and stained some dark, durable
color.

timony is to spread valuable information. Having
been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the whole
surface of my skin being covered with pimples and
ernptions many of which 4aused me great pain and
took many of the advertised blood preparations,
among which any quantity of Sarsaparilla, with
out obtaining any benefit until commenced taking
the VEGETINE, and before had completed the first
bottle saw that had got the right medicine. Con-
sequently followed on with it until had taken
seven bottles when was pronounced well man, and
my skin is smooth and entirely free from Pmples and
eruptions. have enjoyed good health before
and attribute it all to the use of VEGETINE. To
benefit those afflicted with Rheumatism, will make
mention also of the VEGETINE'S wonderful power of
curing me of this acute complaint, of which l have
suffered so intensely.

Let me suggest to your readers few ways
OF varying the dessert at dinner-chanSes
from the inevitable pie. They may not be
new, yet never see them at any table save
our own:
Make dough as for biscuit; roll IL thin
aud spread with currants, cherries, or any
kind of berries. Roll it like jelly cake and
steam it till DONE To be eaten with sweet
ened cream.
Another is TO one pint of sour milk add
one teaspoonful of soda, flour to make bat
ter. and a handful of dried cherries or cur
rants, Pour into a basin and steam until
done. To be eaten with sweetened cream.
Instead of sweetened cream for the above
pudding, sauce made of half a pint OF wine
half cup of sugar, one tablespoonful butter
boiled and thickened with little flour, might
be used Cider is a very good substitute for
the wine. Or instead of the sauce, syrup OF
sugar and water boiled is good with either OF
the buildings.
The following know to be new to your rea-
Gers, for it is my own invention:
Toward spring, when apple butter becomes
drug in the domestic market, it can be USED
in this wise:-To one pint of apple butter add
pint sweet milk, cup of sugar (more OF
less, according to the sweetness of the apple
butter). and TWO tablespoonful of flour.
Bake in tins lined with pastry and with strips
of pastry across the top. Please try it.

Clipping Horses.

Bergh has had coachman arrested in New
York for clipping his horses in the midst of
the late very cold weather, and he has been
bound over for trial. There are conditions
under which the animals would suffer more
or less if clipped in cold weather; but these
conditions can and shoald be guarded against
by every careful and humane coachman,
which is the protection Of the horses by warm
banketings at all times in the stable, and
when standing for however short time when
used. We have come TO the conclusion after
many years observation and few years ex-
perience, that the comfort and health of
horses are secured to much greater degree
by clipping than otherwise-Mr. Bergh or
anybody else to the contrary.-Gerna0lstow
