Sanitary Precautions.

Among the sanitary precautions
which should be observed in Summer
time, especially by those residing in
country places, perhaps none is more
important than that they should
breakfast before going out in the
morning. Compliance with this rule
is particularly beneficial in newly set
tied districts, on fat lying lands, on
all river bottoms, and wherever veg
citation is rank and of rapid growth
In early morning science and expert
ence alike prove that the mischieyous
ingredients Of the air are particularly
active, while the human system is IN
usally lax and debilitated and propor-
tionately liable to be injurioasly af
fected by noxious atmospheric infiu.
ences, liability much lessened by the
bracing up of the system produced
by an early breakfast.
In all places subject to miasma
some of the settlers die yearly of it,
while others live to ripe old ace,
and an examination Of the causes
leading to these very different results.
will, in almost every case show that
an early breakfast holds probably the
most prominent place. The Creoles
of Louisiana, like the old settlers in
Florida, rarely venture ont of doors
in the morning, in Summer time, be-
fore taking at least strong CUP Of
coffee with biscuit or crackers the
traveller foolish enough to venture
before breakfast across the miasmatic
Pontine marshes near Rome, is pref.
ty certain to die in a few days there
after, whereas it fortified with break
fast, he may make the journey in
safety.
A few other brief hints on what
ones conduct should be in warm
weather may not be out of place.
Keep the head cool in the sun, bv
placing in the hat a cabbage leaf OF
wet cloth; after work, change the
sweat-moistened clothing, and invig-
crate the system wit daily bath
Avoid all carbonaceous, or heat pro.
duclng food, such as fat meats, butter
sugar etc, and eat literally of yeget
ables, such as spinach, melons etc, az
well as of ripe fruit. while eschewins
carefully that which IS unripe. Ii
bathing be careful to put cotton o
some other substance into the ear, 70
frequently injury to the hearing an,
from diving without sdch precaution
Keep the bowels open by milo
aperients, such as Turkey rhubarb
Epson salts etc. and it would also
be well to keep on hand some diar
rhea mixture. Keep cool in body
and especially cool in temper.
A friend seeing these lines, remark.
ed that he thought ninety nine out Of
every hundred readers never act on
such advice. "In that case" was the
reply, "the article was written for the
sensible one." -Raw0L Ne,o Yorker.

tain the immense audience which assembled yes
terday afternoon to hear DR.. Lords able lecture OH
Michael Angelo. His course Of lectures upon
The Great Bencfactors' has been the most Inter
estng by far Of any delivered In Washington for
years. Having discussed the lives OF Cicero,
Chrysoston. and Hidebrand in his former lectures,
he yesterday afternoon took for his subject
Michael Angelo"
The address upon this great painter, sculptor,
and architect was interesting In the extreme. The
Doctors style Of delivery and the subject matter
however, arc Of such nature that he interests
more particularly the SCHOLARLY portion OF our ctl-
zens, and one has to follow closely his thoughts,
dressed, as they are, In bcnutiiully-wordcd
phrases, In order 10 comprehend how great q stu.
dent of history Dr. Lord has been. His portrayal
Of character IL wonderfully grand, and so great s
his power Of description that the audience could
almost see before their eyes the inspired Angelo.
The story of his life and Network has been nn on
told tale" yet ever interesting and fresh.
The audience saw him yesterday as the brave
store the old civilization In his picturcs-a labor
tai bcneiactors. Ancient art did very little to stop
human degcncracy.
The speaker described fully the revival Of art Ia
Italy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Angelo at the age Of eighty. regretted that lie had
not confined his whole life TO sculpture instead oil
wedding himself to painting aud architecture.
