Clothing the Sick.

Proper clothing is of the utmost i'm
portance TO every invalid; and the best
clothing is that which Is best adapted for
this purpose. For this reason woolen or
silk is superior to cotton or linen in the
cold seasons. Yet we do not advise WOOL
en- to be worn next the skin, because of its
irritating qualities. Cotton flannel drawers
and undershirts are superior in this re-
spect; but wooden outer garments, and
even wooden socks, are better than cotton
or linen. .s $50
The color of clothing has much to do
with Its healthfulness. No invalid can
justify himself in wearing colored cloth
ing next the skin. The dye is usually more
or less absorbed, and is always injurious,
frequently poisonous. Indeed, we ques-
ton its propriety, on the score of health,
at any time or in any place. True, black
absorbs and retains heat, while white re-
fleets it, giving to white less heat-retain-
ing quality than black; yet, nevertheless,
white or lightAcolored clothing we cOnsid
er superior to dark color. For summer
weather there is no question as to its Su-
periority, nor for inner garments.
The limbs and extremities claim from
every invalid and physician especial at
tention. Not one invalid in a thousand
succeeds in having his feet, legs, hands
and arms we'll clad. Among women the
dress usually worn is outrageous, consid-
cred from the standpoint of health, and
among men it is only little less so. The
central portions of tho body are overbur-
dened often with clothing, while the limbs
are almost always insuticiently clad. The
shoes are thin, stockings delicate, pants
fine, and only lined around the waist,
while over abdomen and loins the cloth
ing is doubled or treblcd. How can any
one expect to regain health under such cir
cumstances? Health depends upon bal
anced circulation, and the blood circulates
from within. AS power begins TO dimin-
ish the circulation fails in the extremities
and the blood is retained in and about the
central organs. Clothing retains heat and
heat retains blood so where most clothing
is there, other things being equal, the
most blood wal be found. To call blood
into the extremities and external capilla-
ries is one of the important objects of all
good treatment, and proper clothing is a
necessary adjunct. Let no one fear that
his limbs win be too we'll clad; let him
rather remember the old physicians adj
vice: Keep the feet warm, the head cool
and the bowels free and you will have no
need of physician Science Of Health.

One Way to Dispense with Cemeteries.

DR.. Frank Richardson, writing to the
London Times, gives the following extraor-
dinary account of a village in the North
of England: "The interesting letters
which have appeared In your columns
during the last week or two upon the mode
of committing Earth TO Earth tempt me
to send you the following instance of
district in which that unpleasant process
is postponed In singularly unusual man.
ner. The large parish of Alwinton- with
Holystone is situated upon the southern
slopes of the Cheviots, includes the upper
vale of the Coquet, and extends about
twenty miles in length and several in
breadth, comprising A ,412 acres. It's pop
ulation has decreased from 1895 at the
census of 1851 to 1879 at that of 1871.
The occupations of Its inhabitants are
almost equally divided between the tend
ing Of sheep and the cultivation of cereals
upon lands which rest in nearly similar
proportions upon freestone and porphyry
During the year 1874 six deaths occurred
In this parish, being at the rate of Al per
thousand--one of those deaths being that
of an unfortunate young shepherd who
perished in the recent snow storm. This
mortality was lower than usual; during
the previous ten years the number was 106
an annual average of 10 per thousand.
OF these 100 deaths there were 16 between
20 and 80 years of age, and, curiously,
29 above 80 years, considerably more
than one-quarter of the total deaths thus
occurring In people above eighty years
old, or 273.0 per 1000. Now, is there
anything exceptional in the ages of the
inhabitants to account for this low death
ratei The aged sr1 very young, among
whom proportiOnally the mortality is
highest, exist in large numbers. Within
two miles of my house know nine octo-
genariang, and tenth-our parish clerk
died last week at the age Of eighty
three. In this village Of Harbottle, with
100 inhabitants, there are thirty-seven
children under fourteen years of age, and
during the last twenty years no child has
died, and for nearly four years no one
until the case Just mentioned. | may
add another instance of the large pro-
portion of children existing and their
immunity from death. A farmer in this
parish and his three shepherds, who have
occupied their present situations nearly
thirty years, have among them AZ children,
and not single death has occurred in
these families The inhabitants have
abundance of plain, substantial food, ex-
cellent water, good residences as a rule,
and regular but not severe work in pure,
braeing atmosphere, and are highly intel
ligent and generally abstemious. am

PARM AND HOME.


I'm watering plants, do II regularly
and Systematically. Do not drown them
nor starve them.
Beans should not be planted till the
ground Is thoroughly warmed, and the
navy bean Is the best for field culture.

bushel Is more than double, and no more

There are rotten potatoes In many

Asparagus and Beans.--Cut The tender
parts of asparagus into quarter-inch
lengths, boil in an equal quantity of water,
adding about an equal amount Of we'll

The following recipe for keeping
moths out of clothing is favorite in some
families: Mix half a pint of alcohol, the
same quantity of spirits of turpentine and
bottle and shake before using. The
clothes and ftlrs are to be wrapped in
linen, and crumpled up pieces of blotting
paper dipped in the liquid are to be placed
in the box with them 80 that 1t smells
strong. This requires renewing once a
year.
The Maine Farmer says "a Young
Farmer gives us his manner of feeding a
horse that is doing no other work than the
general driving: In the morning his first
feed Is one quart Of oats, after which he
has six pounds of cut hay and is then
watered; ut noon he is first watered and
then fed eight pounds Of cut hay at night
he is watered, given one quart of oats
and six pounds of cut hay. This
makes daily allowance of twenty pounds
of hay and two quarts of oats, which, with
hay at twenty dollars and oats at seventy
cents, will cost twenty-four and three
fourths cents. He has salt in his crib, and
is given dose of salt and ashes once
week; once a week, also, he has quart Of
finely.cut carrots. If the horse works the
quantity of oats is doubled. Our cor
respondent says: Show us your better
or cheaper method of FEEDING"
The Journal Of the Farm well says;
"There is no principle in farming better
established than that all tools and ma
chimes should be housed when not in use,
and every farmer who neglects this is
greatly wanting in the element of econo-
my. The moving g-machine that is left
standing in the fence corner cannot be ex-
pected 10 do good work, and for wooden
implements the case is worse still. The
prudent farmer not only houses his imple-
ments, but he devotes rainy and snowy
days to repairing them. A moving ma
chine, the Journals of which are cleaned Of
their accumulation of grimed grease and
carefully oiled, will run 25 per cent.
lighter and so per cent. longer than
one that does not receive this at
tention. Joseph Harris says his hardest
task with hired men is to make them take
care of the tools of the farm No wonder
such men never reach the good fortune Of
having farms of their own"

How to Cook Beefsteak.

Some time since complete encyclo
pedia of useful knowledge, in human
form, became an inmate Of family.
When this learned guest came among them
he was constituted as an oracle in many
cases, and was asked one morning,
" Would he tell or show them better way
TO cook the steak for breakfastg' He
took the thin, long handled frying-pan
from its nail, and, putting it on the stove,
heated it quite hot. In this he put the
piece of steak previously pounded, but TO
their surprise did not put particle OF
butter in the frying pan, and did not salt
the steak. He allowed the steak TO mere
ly glaze over, and then turned It quickly
to the other side, turning it several times
in this manner until II was done, FouE
minutes were not employed In the opera
ton, but a juoier steak was never eaten.
II was, when done, laid on the platter,
previously warmed, and was buttered and
salted and set a moment in a hot oven
Allowing the steak TO heat but moment
on each side helped II TO retain all its sweet
juices, and putting the salt on at the last
moment after il was on the platter, drew
out its juices.

The QUEEN OF ALI SEWING MAcHNEs-
In speaking Of the merits Of the Wilson shut
tie sewing machine, 1t is sufficient for us to
say that we think the invention of this ma
chine marks one Of the most important eras
In the history of this country; and when we
consider the influence 1t has upon the social
well-being Of the masses, 1t is difficult to con-
ceive Of an invention Of more importance. 1t
has beautiful, noiseless movement; it makes
the genuine "lock stitch" alike ON both sides,
and does to perfection all kinds of plain and
fine sewing; 1t needs no commendation; its
rapid sales, the increasing demand, and the
many tiattering testimonials from those who
have used it are sufficientproof Of its merits.
The want OF a sewing machine is deeply felt
In every household, and as the Wilson shuttle
sewing machine, on account Of its extreme
simplicity and less cost OF manufacture, is
sold at a much lower price than all other first
class machines, it is meeting with the exten-
sive patronage it SO justly deserves. Ma

another administers sugar coated bread

own cures. DR.. J. WALKER, of California,
an old and respected physician, tried both
modes of treatment and both failed. He
then appealed to natures curative-herbs;
and now enjoys rugged health. He has
given the benefit of his discovery to the
world, in the shape of VINEGAR BITTERs,
and since its introduction has sold a
quantity almost large enough to make a
