Keepthe Feet Warm.

Many of the colds which people are
said to catch, commence at the feet.
To keep these extremitles warm.
therefore, is to effect an Insurance
against the almost interminable list OF
disorders which spring out OF a
''slight cold" First, never be tightly
shod. Boots or Shoes, when they tit
closely, press against the foot and pre-
vent the free circulation of the blood.
When, on the contrary, they do not
press the foot too tightly, the blood
gets fair play, and the spaces left be-
tween the leather and stockings are
filled with comfortable supply of
warm air. The second rule is, never
sit in damp shoes 1t is often imag-
med that unless they are positively
wet, it is not necessary to change
them while the feet are at rest. This
is a fallacy; for when the least damp
ness is absorbed into the sole. it is at
tracted further to the foot itself by
its own heat, and thus persprrarion IS
dangerously checked Any person
may prove this by trying the expert
ment of neglecting the rule, and his
feet will become cold and damp after
a few moments, although, taking Oft
the shoe and warming it, it will ap-
near quite dry.

1t is no part of our business to tel
how we know, but we do know, the
statement below There is doctor
of this city whose wife is, more than
common wives, kind to her husband
On about the only very cold night
that has been experienced here Tor
nearly year-when the mercury got
below zero a week or two ago-he was
called at nine clock to go three miles
in the country. When he had started
his good wife made a roaring fire and
pus an iron on the stove, thinking her
dear hubby would come home almost
fl Oxen. Her intentions were to- get
up wrap the warm iron IN tannels
and put in the bed TO warm the toes-es
of her husband She went to bed and
got into her first doZe, when he re-
turned. Half asleep, in that peculiar
condition common to women when
they think they do something when
they don't--a condition that always
pervades their natures at shirt-button
time-she got up, took the flannels
and lifted the red hot iron from the
stove. Carrying 1t to the bed she
dropped it in at the front and then,
like good wife, went over behind
and dropped sound asleep The hus-
band came in, undressed rapidly, and
when he had taken off all his clothes
but his shirt and socks, he sat down
on the side of the bed to take off the
latter Il so happened that, when he
sat down, he did not sit on his shirt
He did not take his stockings off al
that sitting. In TACT, he did not sii
long enough. On the contrary, No
sooner did he sit than he jumped
And when he jumped he screamed
His wife screamed too. But the
house was not on fire. The light was
turned up and an examination made
The red hot iron had been left on the
side of the bed, and the smooth and
hottest side turned up, and the hus
band had squatted on it squarely as il
it had been a chair and he had trie6
to get into it. We don't want to say
any more about it, but if that impres
sion would impart TO wood the same
impression that iron did to the human
I body, every time that doctor sit:
down, he would leave perfect picture
of smoothing iron on the chair. HI
will never order even a hot brick fol
/ a patient. The subject does not bring
sweet memories-kokom Tribune.

All through the large area of coun :
try over which the unparalleled
drouth of the past season prevailed
there is seanty supply of food for
stock animals. Therefore it becomes
a matter of first consideration to
economic In feeding from the very
start of winter. As warmth is equiva-
lent to a certain amount of food. it is
important to provide warm stables
and shelters for every animal When
stock is exposed to cold, a large
quantity of grain is required to sus-
tain the ordinary animal heat. 4
hungry man can not endure the cold;
but give him full meal and he will
again brace the fury of a winters
blast. Food is equivalent to artificial
warmth; and so. on the other hand,
artificial warmth. or warm stables, is
equivalent to ofood-Detroit Trib.

How he aiOG n Seat.

The other morning, a nice young
man got into car on the Dayton
Short Line Railroad, and saw to his
delight the only vacant seat In the
coach was by the side of young lady
acquaintance He reached for that
seat with joyous strides. and her eyes
answered his delighted looks. But
Just as he got there, an elderly party
from the other end of the car waltzed
up the aisle and dropped into the
coveted seat The young man ap-
preached more slowly, and accosted
the young lady. "How is your broth
er?'' he asked. rs he able to get out?'
"Oh, yes" she said. will he be
very badly marked?" he continued;
and the old gentleman grew suddenly
interested. "Oh, no." said the fair
deceiver, with the exception of few
small pits on his forehead. you would
never know he had ever had it. !"
Were you not afraid of taking it?''
the young man went on, while the old
gentleman broke out in cold perspira-
ton. Not at. all, she replied; Il
had been vaceinated, you know. The
seat was vacated instantly, two young
hearts beat as half dozen, aud the
prattle of nice talk" strewed that
part of the car, while gray haired old
man scowled upon them from the hard
accommodation of the wood box.

Duration of Manures.

The duration of the beneficial eff
fects of certain manures is Il topic
sometimes discussed. A correspon-
dent of the New York World writes:

tenant should receive for the perma-

soil, it was decided by farmers club
in Scotland that the beneficial effects

ten yrs, as it performed a chemical

Nitrate of soda lasted only for the

opinion of the Scotch farmers club
may be like the verdict of some jitries
quite wide of the facts-but it is of

EN- Odus-A Remedy for '.War of
RaceS.''

We do not believe that any neeessi-
ty exists for war of races. or that
there is any peculiar reason why the
whites and blacks should not live to
gether in harmony each exercising
the ordinary rights of citizens, with
out strife or general disagreement.
But if the foolish people OF the South
insist that this cannot be; that there
is an irresistible conflict between the
races, and that the present lamentable
state of affairs must continue, then
the quicker the plan is carried out for
an exodus of the colored people the
better it will be. Let them so where
they can be protected, or where they
can muster in sufficient numbers to
protect themselves. And in this, if
necessary, they should have the sub
stantial assistance of the nation as
we'll as the hearty encouragement and
good wishes of all good men.-lnter-

animal whose progenitors in an
other arrangement of atoms had
successfully been the ''hipparion

The President has determined, it is
said, to remove General Emory from
command in New Orleans, and supply
his place by General Terry. The
change is very proper one. General
Emory is undoubtedly an honora Bile
officer in the respect of obeying
to the letter orders of his superlors,
but he is without ability or judgement,
save of the most common order, and
is known to have ssmpathies and per
sonal relations in the South which
make him very undesirable man
