WHY WOOLES.

Why should wooden rather than cotton
he worn next 10 the skin in cold weather
Because II Is slow conductor of heat
il does not lei the natual warmth OF the
body escape.
Substances greatly differ in this respect.
Some are very slow aud others very RAPID
conductors. A person may hold rod OF
glass In his hand while he melts the Other
end oi il in flame; an iron rod OF the
same length would burn his hand long be-
fore the other end became red hot. Now
wooden is one OF our slowest conductors
aud the very best covering we have to i'm,
prison the heat of our body when exposed
TO sudden cold.
II is the sudden changes of our climate
that rack our system aud yearly sweep
thousands of our people to the grave
We can stand almost any degree OF slow
change; but these great and sudden
changes task all our endurance to bear
and our skill to alleviate them.
Our special need. therefore, especially
in fall and spring,--and indeed, the win
ter through, since we have fallen into the
habit OF overheating our houses is to
wear that clothing which will retain as
much as possible of our natural warmth.
While the chill winds from the ocean OIL
the icy winds from the pole are smiling
our vitals, we must protect ourselves.
Girls and Young women should be thor.
oughly protected. They are most suscept-
lille to weather changes. have less resist
aDce, and suffer worse consequences, than
their elders; and yet they are just the
ones who are left most exposed.
Mothers should look 10 ths,-see that
your daughters are properly clad, and al
so duly trained to right ideas on the sub.
ject Of clothing. Remember it is-no'
cotton hannel-but good substantial wool
en- all over. As for cotton stockings il
winter. to wear them is sheer wickedness
We don't know what to say of those who
die of wearing cotton stockings and thin
shoes. Are they not suicidesP. ...

A Compliment 10 American Industry

The Grand Neibeluugen Orchestra at
Bayreuth, under the leadership of Hans
Richter and August Wilhelmy, have pre-
sented to Richard Wagner a beautiful
Concert Grand of Messrs. George Steck
& Co.'S make, New York, which is not
only high compliment to the well known
firm, but also to American industry.
This is the same firm that was the recip-
lent Of th only Gold Medal for best pianos
at the Worlds fair in Vienna, 1873, and
has Just now been awarded the first prize
at the Centennial Exhibition, George
Steck & Co.'S name being placed at the
head of the list OF awards for pianos
theirs having again proved te be the
finest in tone and of greater durability
than all other instruments on exhibition
The Steck pianos stand thus acknowl
edged before the world as being above al
competition, and are therefore preferabl
/ topurchasers who wish to secure a strictl,
/ iirst-claSs and reliable instrument.

A gentleman writes asking the Regis
ter to explain the meaning of "high
farming" lie says he understands all
about "high-falutin," aud "high-liy.
ing and "high-old-times," but high
farming, term now often used, is some
thing he does not exactly understand.
We refer him TO the following from the
New York Observer, good religious
paper, and therefore good authority with
I'll good people:
High farming is system of tillige
and farm management that is selfsus-
tanning, a system that takes the bare
land, the domestic animals, the farm i'm.
plements and machinery, and cultivates
the soil, sustans the family and the ami
mails, pays the annual taxes, defrays the
expenses incideAt to the Improvements
that must be made ON the farms; and
after one, two or three decades of years,
leaves every acre in far better state of
fertility than the soil was at the begin.
