A Handy Table.

We are indebted TO Mr.. J. H. Main,
carpenter and contractor, for the fol-
lowing valuable table 20 those who de-
sire TO make their own estimates for
building. II Is worth pasting in your

measure. One thousand feet % siding,
80 feet. One thousand feet rustic sid

so calculated in all bills.

Eight hours, and preferably nine, of
the a should be devoted to sleep. OF
the remainder, three ~ four might be
occupied with meals and rest during the
day, and the others should be given up
TO exercise, equally divided between
mental and physical, but in such man
ner that the two kinds OF exercise are
alternated. Two hours Of real study IL
quite sufficient 81 time for the grow
ing brain. Young women ought 10 De
physically trained as carefully as men.
They ought TO have strong, firm mus
cles, and be well developed. Five or
six hours of daily exercise, involving
real bodily labor, is not too much for
even "young ladies'" Much OF
the exercise which IS taken by
young people Is of too violent a
character 10 be OF any permanent
benefit What Is wanted IS q steady,
progressive cultivation Of the muscles,
such is attained by walking, running,
rowing, swimming, when tasse eXer-
cises are carried on quietly and with
out the strain which too often occurs in
their daily practice. Young people
should never feel that they have stom-
ach; they should eat when hungry till
hunger il gone, and should neither feel
weight or uneasiness, nor sleepiness af-
ter meals. Nitrogen enters into the
construction of every nerve, every mus
Gle of the BODY. Both the animal and
vegetable Kingdoms supply heterogeneous
foods which man can use, and with any
of which he can attain his highest
bodily and mental Development When
peeuniary circumstances permit il is
best TO let meat supply considerable
portion Of nitrogen required ;
but the laboring man, by ringing the
changes on oatmeal, maize, peas,
beans, rice and macaroni, % which
may be added occasionally cheese and
bacon, may bring up bis children a.
well nOurished as those of the richest
people AZ q small cost. As 20 drink,
Young men and women are advised to
abstain from alcohol, for il is certain
that il does harm 10 the growing body ;
and with regard 10 persons of adult
wears. the uncertainty which prevails Is
10 the value Of the alcohol turns the
scale in favor Of total abstinence in
stead Of moderate drinking. DIR.
Parkes IS decidedly in favor of early
marriages-seeing, As he has, that
much ill-health among both sexes would
: have been prevented by the occupations
and even by the cares Of married life.
