Useful if not New.

The following simple rules for pre-
serving health and promoting personal
comfort, if not new to some of OIL
every one.
The object of brushing the teeth is to
remove the destructive particles of food
which by their decomposition generate
decay. To neutralize the acid resulting
from this chemical change is the object
of dentlfrice. A stiff brush should be
used after every meal, and a thread OF
silk floss or India rubber passed through
between the teeth to remove particles
of food. Rinsing the mouth in lime wa.
ter neutralizes the acid.
Living and sleeping in room in
which the sun never enters is a slow
form Of suicide. A sun bath is the most
refreshing and life giving bath that car
possibly be taken.
Always keep the feet warm, and thus
avoid colds. To this end, never sit il
damp shoes or wear foot coverings fit
ting and pressing closely.
The best time to eat fruit is half al
hour before breakfast.
4 full bath should not be taken less
than three hours after a meal. Never
drink cold water before bathing. Dc
not take cold bath when tired.
Keep box of powdered starch OF
the washstand; and after washing, rub {
pinch over the hands. 1t will proven
chapping.
If feeling cold before going to bed, ex
ercise; do not roast over a fire.

THE POPULATION ON WHEELS.
A Little Continuance That Will Walk &
Lazy Man Twelve Miles an Hour.


The newspaper carrier who serves
papers to the attendants in the Perma-
pent Exhibition Building goes his
rounds at the rate of twelve miles an
hour. He travels on machines not I'M
like roller skates, which are called pedo-
motors, according to the inventor, Mr..
J. III. Hobbs, an architect, On Walnut
street, above Fifth. The day is not far
distant when the whole city will be on
wheels, when pedestrians will beskim-
ming through the streets at the rate of
ten miles an hour without any more
effort than is now put forth in Deram-
bulating half that distance.
The pedomotor consists of four tough,
light wooden wheels supplied with an
outer rim of tough india rubber. These
wheels are secured to frame the shape
of the foot, which is strapped to the
pedal extremities in the usual manner.
Unlike roller skates, the wheels of these
little vehicles, are not under, but are
placed on each side of the foot, thus
giving the wearer a good standing, as
well as a solid footing. The rear wheels
are three inches in diameter, while
those in front are but two and half
inches. This gives the foot slight in
cline, and when in motion has much to
do in iGlpelling the pedestrian forward.
Extending from the toe, with a slight
curl toward the ground is piece of
casting termed the pusher, which is
simply used in mounting an elevation or
steep incline. From the center of the
heel a small brass wheel extends back
ward, serving as q guide as well as a
brake. The whole scarcely turns the
scale at pound weight In using them
no more effort is required than in ordin-
airy walking. The wearer steps with
his regular stride. and is amazed to find
himself Swimming over the ground so
rapidly with SO little muscular effort.
Mr.. Hobbs, explains the mystery of the
rapid movement, in this manner: A
man whose stride is thirty two inches will
traverse forty-eight inches, Or one-half
farther, with the podomotor. This
is because the body is in constant mo-
ton. For instance, says he, the traveller
starts, and, while he raises one foot to
step, he continues rapidly onward until
that foot is set down and the other
raised to make another step. This gives
him more momentum, and away he
goes over two miles in the same
time 1t takes to accomplish a
mile with the feet. No eff
fort of the body is required for their
use, as in skates. The traveller simply
plants one foot before the other, and
finds himself whizzed along at lively
rate,

A Model Tramp.
Detroit Free Press.

A modest ring at the door-bell of a
house on Brady street called the lady to
the door yesterday to discover a tramp
who, to her great establishment, pulled
off his hat as he said.
MADAM, did big tramp with one
eye call here today"
eyes, about an hour ago." she re-
piled.
''His breath smelt of onions, didn't
it?"
eyes, terribly"
''And he asked for mince-pie and cold
beef-tongue, didn't he?"
Eyes he did. [ never saw a more
impudent fellow"
"Well, madam, I am following him
around to tell the people just what sort
of fellow he is. Don't you give him
a mouthful-not even drink of water"
"But you look like tramp, too" she
observed.
swell, | is one, Madam, but | don't
eat onions, and [ never ask for mince-
pie. All | wants is a slice of bread
with a bone on it, and if they dips the
bone in vinegar first so much the better.
Those of us who sleep in the old straw
stack back here wants to give families a
chance to get through the winter, while
that ERE chap with one eye rushes
around and demands the very Injuries
of Kings and Queens. Don't encourage
him, ma'am; he can't appreciate good
whites after he gifts 'em."

not fail to protest against the injustice
Of his fate. Recently Superintendent
Pillsbury became interested in his tale
and after making due inquiries laid the
case before Gov. Robinson. By the
pretent law the crime is punished with
only twenty-one years in state prison,
with deductions for good behavior. The
old man had already served more
than the extent of that sentence, and
consequently Gov. Robinson listened to
the old convict's plea for mercy, and
on the Both of November the prison
gate opened for him to hobble forth a
free man. His wife is dead, and his
daughter removed he does not know
whittier. He has one sister living in
Glen's Falls, to whose home he directed
his way. Innocent or guilty. the world
will seem hard to Joshua Convey, who
comes forth from his prison cell at the
age of II years, helpless cripple.

OF the late George H. Lewis, the Lon
don World, of Nov. so, says: "The
most many-sided man in London died
on Saturday night. In addition to be-
ing quite the profoundest German
scholar among Englishmen-not ex-
cepting Thomas Carlyle-George Henry
Lewis was philosopher, savant, bio
grapher, dramatist, critic, and novelist.
As little endowed with personal beauty
as was Jack Wilkes, he had all the
Wilkes-like talent of talking away his
face: A charming companion and a
brilliant wit, he adapted himself to his
company with perfect ease; and those
who clustered round the CHEEKY racon-
teur of French stories during the am
brosial nights ofthe old Fielding club, or
listened to his half-playful, haIf-serious
diatribes upon the acting of Charles
Kean, could hardly recognize in the
speaker the learned biographer of
Goethe or the profound philosopher of
Blackwood"

that you should get off. The driver is

BLUSH ROSES.
BI LYDIA f HINMAN

Down the garden path maiden,
Walked at close of day.
While the silver vail of twilight,
Gathered round her way,
As from rose to rose she fitted,
kissing here and there,
Drops of honey dew that glistened
On the fiOwerets tair.
Came q lover down the pathway,
UnobserYed and sly,
Till le stood beside the laSsie,
Now so wondrous shy,
Stealing honey dew and kisses.
/ must have some 90"
And he bent and kissed the Tosebuds,
Meath the eyes of blue.
And they tell the smiling roses,
Caught the bushes red,
AS the maiden, in confusion,
Bent her dainty head.
And next day the sunbeams wondered
How the ToSes's light,
Had turned red as crimson bushes,
In one single night.
