Skating.
The following suggestions on
skating, given by the late DR.. Hall
years since, are timely, and applicable
at the present skating season, and if
acted upon by those who indulge in
this pleasant and exhilaratinglpastime,
will save much suffering. Avoid
skates which are strapped on the feet,
as they prevent the circulation, and
the foot becomes frozen before the
skater is aware of it, because the tight
strapping benumbs the foot and
deprives it of feeling. The safest
kind are those which receive the fore
part of the foot in kind of toe, and
have stout leather around the heel,
buckling in front of the ankle only,
thus keeping the heel in place without
spikes or screws, adding greatly in
supporting the ankle.
1t is not the object 80 much to skate
fast, as to skate gracefully and this
is sooner and more easily learned by
skating with deliberation: while it
prevents over-heating, and diminishes
the chances of taking cold by cooling
off too soon afterwards.
II the wind is blowing, a veil should
be worn over the face, at least of
ladies and children; otherwise, fatal
Inflammation of the lungs, sspneumo.
MA may take place.
Do not sit down to rest a single half
minute; nor stand still, if there is
any wind; nor stop moment after
the skates are taken off j.; but walk
about, so as to restore the lcirculation
about the feet and toes, and to pre-.
vent being chilled.
It is safer to walk home than to ride:
the latter is almost certain to give a
cold.
Never carry anything in the mouth
while skating, nor any hard substance
in the hand, nor throw any hard sub.
stance on the ice; none but careless,
reckless ignoramus would thus en-.
danger fellOW.skater fall.
If the thermometer is below thirty.
and the wind is blowing, no lady or
child should be skating.
Always keep your eyes about you
looking ahead and upward, not on the
ice, that you may not run against some
lady, child, or learner.
Arrange to have an extra garment,
thick and heavy, to throw over your
shoulders the moment you cease skat.
ing, and then walk home, or at least
half a mile, with your mouth closed
SO that the lungs may not be quickly
chilled by the cold air dashing upon
them through tho open mouth if i,
passes through the nose and head, il
is warmed before it gets to the lungs.
1t would be safe rule for no lady
or child to be on skates longer than al
hour at time.

Blunders.

cept a short tail" IL was an Eng
lish magistrate who, on being told
by vagabond brought before him
that he was not married, responded
''That's good thing for your wife. .
1t was a Scotclrman who said that
the butcher of his town killed only
half a beast at time; and although
Dean Swift mentions that an Irish
man once told of two skulls of the
same person, one of a man when a
boy, ano the other of the same per-
son when he grew to be man, yet
it was reserved for an English re-
porter to say, when telling of the
proceedings of an chronological So
ciety, that they had ''casts of the
skull of an individual at the differ
ent periods of an adult life to show
the changes produced in ten years."
1t was Portuguese official who emu
merated among the marks by which
drowned man might be identified,
"a marked impeachment in his
speech" 1t was a New York mer
chant who said that he Ensured his

Make Them Love Home.

You are a farmer, and if you
wish to attach your sons and daugh-
tiers to the home and farm, you
ought to take paper made express
ly to throw light upon your voca-
ton, with interesting reading for
young and old in the family. One
more important means of increasing
the comforts and love of home is
by having a good orchard to sup
ply plenty of nice, luscious fruit,
ripening throughout the year, add
ing a luxury to your table and the
fireside of q winters evening.
Don't let the season pass without
putting out your orchard or renew
ing your old one. Now is the best
time according to the judgement
of many, to plant out your trees.
Let your children have their trees
also to watch and learn to prune
and keep in order, and then let
them call it their fruit, sell it and
and have the money to keep.
Another good plan is to have
stock that will awaken the admira
ton of your children; let them feed
and care for it and have their favor
ties as theirs, and they will become
deeply interested in and strongly
attached to your horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs and poultry.
And last though not least, don't
fail to have a garden of vegetables
and flowers for the children and
their mother and you to work and
keep in fine order. The vegetables
will pay you well and the flowers
Will add to the perfume of love in
your whole household. Let every
farm be the centre of all the useful
and ornamental attractions you can
command, and you will have no
trouble in attaching your family to

The Goosebone.

Professor. Timberlake. Caronde

goose bone" for the present win
ter, as follows: 1--WE will have Q
long and somewhat severe winter
with no letting up or moderation
when it sets in. This wide strip oil
black or discoloration along the
ridge or center, of the bone-weil,
that denotes extreme cold. / see
in that, SHOWS, the blocking OF the
river, cold, northwest winds and a
rough old time generally, that is,
when it begins, and it will COM
mence in a week or so. About
Christmas look out. What l have
predicted will continue until April.
Certainly this is not cheering, but
there it is on the bone-just as plain
to me as your hand is holding that
it can not be avoided.

The Wedding Ring.

The wedding ring and its signifi
canoe are quantity characterized by
Dean Comber when he says: "The
matter of which this ring is made
is pure gold, signifying how noble
and durable an affection is; the form
is round, to imply that our respect
or regard shall never have an end;
the place of it is on the fourth fin
ger of the left hand, where the an
clients thought there was a vein
which came directly from the heart,
where it may be always in view,
and, being finger least used, where
it may be least subject to be worn
out, but the main end is to be Wis
ible and lasting token of the cove
nant which must never be forgot
ten."

A good joke is told as having
been perpetrated by farmer neal
Elmira. He had been bothered
greatly by hunters from the cities
who had entered his woods with q
perfect abandon and slaughtered
the squirrels in great numbers
One day he procured two or three
squirrels, took them to a taxider-
mist and had them stuffed. He took
them 10 his woods and nailed them
fast to the limbs ofas many trees in
such way that they could be easily
discovered by the hunters. How
much powder and lead has been
wasted on these squirrels it is i'm
possible to tell, but many a good
marksman has wondered why he
could not bag the game. The old
farmer has doubtless enjoyed many
a hearty laugh at the discontinue
of the hunters.

Prescription for the Care of
Drunkenness.

In the first place, the patient
must have a desire to reform, coup.
led with determination that he
will conquer the enemy or perish
in the struggle. Then the physical
system of the patient should be re-
lieved from impurities as far as
possible by a thorough cathartic
treatment-blue pills and citrate OF
magnesia recommended. Then
there must be complete cessation
from all alcoholic drinks, even to
the lightest wines, beer, or cider.
There must be no gradual stoppage,
but teetotal abstinence; here the
will power of the patient will receive
its severest test, and must prove
the mettle of man. Begin at once
to use the following prescriptions,
which are readily procured at any
first-class apothecary store:
NO FOR NERVOUSNESS.
R. Elk. valelanate Ammonia ~ OF
Mix. Take a small wine-alassfnl when the
patient feels the absolute necessity of some
stimulant.
NO. 2-FoR STRENGTHENING.
2. Citrate Iron and Quinine dram
Tincture Gentian Comp. Il OF
Simple Elixir 21S OF
Mix. Dose teaspoonful twice daily
NO. 3-FoR sLEEPLEssNEsS.

Pepsin IL drains
Sub Nitrate Bismuth / dram
Tincture Capsicum 80 drops

MIX. Dose a teaspoonful three times during
the day, and two teaspoonful at bedtime
If the patient has been a heavy
and prolonged drinker, the shock to
the nervous system will be consid
cradle, no doubt, but the antidote
will sustain even the worst cases,
and very soon a restored and natu
raj appetite, which should be sup
piled with generous diet of sub
stantial food, and either tea or cot
fee will inrigorate aud build up the
patients system to its natural con-
dition. He will then rejoice in the
freedom of his new life, and like my
friend, become impervlous to all
temptations to indulge ever more
in the cup which has caused him
and his friends so much misery

The Currant.

This acid fruit is less cultivated
in the South than it should be fol-
the public health. DR.. Long said
at horticultural meeting at Alton
ILL.,, that those eating freely of cur
rants will never need the doctor.
He had picked forty bushels of fruit
from quarter of an acre. They
want good culture and moderate
pruning. A dressing of ashes and
chip manure is very useful to the
bushes. If attacked by worms, a
busting of white hellebore is, per-
haps, the best remedy. Currants
are better fruit than Gran berries,
and may he raised anywhere in Ten
nessee. They are easily dried or
preserved in all their natural juices.
There is money in this acid fruit
which operates to keep bile fluid,
the blood pure and healthy. Our
limestone water often produces
gravel Justification of the heart, and
other disorders. Fruit acids dis
solve these misplaced earthly salts,
and thereby prevent disease and
broken-down constitution.

Pretty or Not.
Frank Leslie,s Ladv,s Journ

Frank Leslie's Lady's Journal
To be pretty is the great object OF
almost every living woman. even
those who lecture upoa the impro
priety of doing so.
Beautiful women spend great
deal of thought upon their own
charms, and homely women grow
homely through fretting, because
they are not handsome.
Men at least while they are young
are very like women in this respect
though they hide their feelings bet
ter.
There is one comfort to the home
ly ones, however.
After you come to know people
very intimately, you do not know
whether they are pretty or not.
Their "ways" make an impress
ion on you, but not their noses and
ears, their eyes and mouths.
In time, the soul expresses itself
to you, and it is that which you see.
A man who has been married
twenty years scarcely knows what
his wife looks like.
He may declare that she is be-
witching little blonde, with soft blue
eyes, long after she is fat and red
and forty; because the image of his
early love is in his heart, and he
does not see her as she is to-day,
but as she was when he courted her.
Or, beingSan Indifferent husband,
he may not know that she is the fine
woman that other people think her
You have known men who have
married the plainest women, and
think them beauties, and you know
beauties who are quite thrown away
on men who value wife for her sue
cess as a cook.
AS far as ones effect on strangers
is to be taken into consideration,
beauty is valuable and very valuable.
So, If you have it rejoice; but if
you have it not, be content.
Take care of your heart, your
soul, your mind, and your manners,
and you will make for yourself that
beauty which will render you love
" to those who are nearest and
dearest to you.
