Outdoor Safety.

The fear of the weather has sent multi
tudes to the grave, who otherwise might
have lived in health many years longer
The fierce north wine. and the furious
snow-storm kill comparatively few, while
hot winter rooms and crisping summer
suns have countless hecatombs of human
victims to attest their power. Except in
localities where malignant miasms pre-
vail, and that only in warm weather, out
door life is healthiest and happiest, from
the tropics to the poles
The general fact speaks for itself, that
persons who are out of doors most take
cold least. In some parts of our country,
near one-half of the adult deaths are
from diseases of the air passages. These
ailments arise from taking cold in some
way or another and surely the reader
will take some interest in a subject which,
by mt least one chance out of four, his own
life may be lost. -
All colds arise from one of two causes.
l. BY getting cool too quick after exer-
else, either as to the whole body, or any
part of it.
g By being chilled, and remaining
SO for long time, from want of exer-
else.
To avoid colds from the former, we
have only to go to fire the moment the
exercises cease in the winter. If in sum-
mer repair at once to closed room, and
there remain with the same clothing on,
until cooled off.
To avoid colds from the latter cause,
and these engender the most speedily
fatal diseases, such as pluerisies, Group
and inflammation of the lungs, called
pneumonias, we have only to compel
ourselves to walk with sufficient vigor to
keep off a feeling of chilliness. Atten-
ton to a precept contained in less than a
dozen words would add twenty years to
the average of civilized life.
Keep array chiuiness by exercise :
cool of shorty. Then You will never
take cold, in doors or out !-Hdirs Jour-
nat of Health.

Singular.

A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette says
that chronological tables yield many sim
gular condolences. Thus, 244 years
measured the duration of dynasties of the
Kings of Rome, the Seleucid monarchs,
the Merovingian Kings of France, and
the Lombard Kings of Italy. In like
manner 424 years was the duration of
Solomon's Temple and of the Roman
empire, from the battle of Actium to the
death of Theodocius the Great. It
reaches also from the famous era of Ma
bonassar to the death of Alexander; from
the fall of the Roman empire on the
death of Cesar Augustulus to its re-es-
tablishment by Karl the Great; and from
the suppression of idolatry by Constan-
tine TO the establishments of the Temporal
power by the donation Of Pepin. Morel

Opening of Parliament-TheQ Queens Speech
Turkish CrueIties Denounced.

Turkish Cruelties Denounced.
The British Parliament met on the Sth
of February, and the session was opened
by the Queen in person, for the first
time in many years The Queen in her
speech says 4: "The hostilities which
before the close of the last Parliament
had broken out between Turkey on the
one hand and Servia and Montenegro on
the other, have engaged my most serious
attention, and have anxiously awaited
for an opportunity when my good offices,
together with those of my allies, might
be usefully interposed. This opportuni-
ty presented itself by the solicitation of
Servia for our mediation, the offer of
which was ultimately entertained by the
Porte" While proceeding to act in this
mediation, she thought it right, after in
quiry into the facts, to denounce to the
Porte the excuses committed in Bull
garia, and express her reprobation
of their preparation. Speaking
of the armistice and conference,
she says: SIN taking these steps,
her object has been throughout to main
tain the peace of Europe, and bring
about better government in the disturbed
provinces without infringing upon the
independence and integrity of the Otto
man empire" Her Majesty regrets that
the proposals have not been accepted by
the Porte, but the result of the confer
ence has been to show the existence of a
general agreement among European pow
ers, which cannot fail to have material
effect upon the condition and government
of Turkey. She trusts that the term of
the armistice yet unexpired will lead to
the conclusion of an honorable peace.
She has acted in cordial cooperation
with her allies, with whom, as with other
foreign powers, heg relations continue
friendly. Her Majesty alludes to her
assumption OF the imperial title at Delhi,
which was welcomed with professions of
affection, and to the famine in India, to
arrest which every resource will be en-
ployed. The remainder of the speech is
devoted to colonial and home matters.

In loves true rhetoric from her lips,
The meteor stars of sin and shame
Are lost amid bright eclipse
Aad when we walk the glittering path
Wherein temptation oft we see,
Oh. then we realize how strong

What if her boy an migrate seems?
The beauty of that wondrous love
Around the thankless offspring beams;
Though i'm the path of shame he walks,
Though crime hath driven him to the bowl
A mothers care can yet avail
mothers prayers may win his soul.
What heart like mothers can forgive
The peccadilloes of our youth?
What heart like hers can lead US back
From sin To innocence and truth
Oh, name of mother sweetest name
That ever fell on mortal ear
Oh, love of mother nightiest love
That heaven allows TO flourish here.

Life without Food.

A case of life without eating, parallel
ing the singular one of Orpheus G. Kerr,
of the New York Graphic, some time
ago, comes to light in young woman
living near Pittsburgh. A doctor of that
city says that, when his attention was
first called to her, she had been three
months without morsel of food, and
that, notwithstanding, the girl was fair
and healthful-looking, and weighed $50
pounds. She suffers none of the pangs
of hunger; she has no pains of body, but
is very weak. Her cessation of appetite
occurred last July, and she is now under
treatment at Philadelphia, although with
little betterment, so far, and yet contin-
ues, extraordinarily enough, without the
ability to eat.
