Evil Habits.

1t is related that an Indian once found
young lion, and as he seemed weak and
harmless, never attempted to control him.
But every day the lion gained in strength,
and became more difficult to manage
At last, when excited by rage, he fell
upon the Indian and tore him to pieces
1t is thus with evil habits and bad pas
sions. Have you an ungovernable tenn

not, or think you cannot contain" your
self2 If so, you have an untamed lion
Is your appetite for stimulant or narcot-
les so overpowering that you become al
most delirious without them2 The lion
has already got the mastery, and will
bring you down unless you cast him off
Look into our jails, prisons, and poor
houses, and see the miserable victims
there with mouths full of filthy stuff, and
their bodies reeking with the stencil of
whisky or tobacco, and you. will see how
much more there is of the animal than
of the god-like human in such. perverted
and fallen creaturesl The lion has them
by the throat, and will not let CO. He
has crushed them to earth, and they lie
in the agony of faithless and helpless de-

air above and the introduction of fresh
air below; but, as he admits, lone unde-
waiting law of air currents is that they
always take the shortest cut, and depend
upon 1T the necessary and inevitable
effect of providing an opening for inlet
below and an opening for outlet above
would be to "freeze out" the inmates of
a room, whether the incoming fresh air
is warm or cold. If cold, the incoming
fresh air would spread itself out and fill
the lower part of the room first; if warm,
it would Immediately take "the shortest
CUT and escape at the top, without ma
terially affecting the temperature or the
quality of the air throughout the room,
except in the direct course of the moving
current, which would be from inlet to
outlet.
For these plain reasons, the crude
method advocated by your correspon-
dent is not commendable even in a warm
climate or in the sRmmer weather, for
then, if the doors and windows be left
open, the air will freely circulate in any
natural direction. In short, his positions
are contrary to the advanced experience
and philosophy of such able specialists
as Box (see his work on heat) Reid, Rut-
tar, Leeds and others on ventilation.
His ideas are Numerically opposed to
modern practice and experience, espe-
cially in the West, where the downward
exhaust principle has been introduced
very generally in nearly all new public
and private buildings

Advice to Skaters.

l. Never try to skate in two directions
at once. 1t always ends in sorrow.
2. Eat few apples for refreshment' S
sake while skating, and be sure to throw
the cores on the ice.
3. Sit down occasionally, no matter
where. There is no law to prevent a new
beginner from sitting down whenever he
has an inclination to do so
A. When you meet particularly hand
some lady, try to skate on both sides of
her at once. This is very pretty, and
sure to create a sensation.
s. Skate over all the small boys at
once.
6. If you skate into hole in the ice,
take it coolly. Think how you would
feel if the water was boiling hot
I. If your skates are too slippery, buy
new pair. Keep buying new pairs till
you find a pair that are not slippery.
8. In sitting down, do it gradually
Don t be too sudden; you might break
the ice
9. When you fall headlong, examine
the straps of your skates very carefully
before you get up.
10. Wear heavy overcoat or cloak till
you get thoroughly warmed up, and then
throw it off and let the wind cool you.
II. After you get so that you can skate
tolerably well, skate three or four hours
skate frantically-skate till you can't
stand up

Wet Boots.

What an amount of discomft wet boots
entail, and how well we all recall the
painful efforts we have now and then
made to draw on pair of hard-baked
ones which were put by the fire overnight
to dry Once on, they are sort of
modern stocks, Obstructive of all comfort,
and entirely demoralizing to the temper.
The following plan, it is said will do
away with this discomfit;
when the the boots are taken off, fill
them quite full with dry oats, This grain
has great fondness for damp,
and will rapidly. absorb the least yestige
of it from the wet leather. Asit quickly
and completely takes up the moisture, it
swells aud fills the boot with tightly
fitting last, keeping its form good, and
drying the leather without hardening it.
In the morning shake out the oats and
hang them in bag near the fire to dry,
ready for the next wet night; draw on
the boots, and go happily and comforta
bly, about the days work"

cold. have seen the temperature of a
room fall 80 in minutes on opening the
hot air register in the floor and the ven
tilator in the ceiling; and although the
fire was kept up about four hours, the
temperature did not rise half degree.
Secondly, he says that the air, on being
discharged from the lungs, is warmer
than the surrounding air, and therefore
rises; which is true, but it only rises a
short distance when it becomes of the
same temperature as the air through
which it passes; and being loaded with
matter thrown off from the lungs, it be-
comes heavier and falls to the floor to be
again inhaled.
There is vast difference between VEN
tilation in the summer and ventilation
in the winter, also between building
heated by hot air and one heated by di-
rect radiation from heated surface.

was written by Mrs. Sydney P Gill, in
Philadelphia. In the Sunday school of
DR.. Joel Parkers church she taught the
infant class. She had been teaching a
lesson on angels, when little girl said
81 want to be an angel" A few days
after the child died, the hymn was writ
ten for that Sunday school to sing on her
death, and it has struck a chord in every
childs heart since 1854
Do you ask, shall we aim at making
poetry? Yes; if it is in the heart, let it
come out; it may dry tear, or soothe a
grief, or be a blessing to other when you
dont't expect it. When l did not expect
an ear, have reaped sheaf. A scrap
OF poetry written by you might be prize
to your friends greater than all the
wealth you could give them. A little boy
