oil seasons; for, though black and dark
substances absorb heat best, they also radi-
ate or give it off soonest. There is no
doubt that white clothing retains the heat
of the body longer than dark clothing. The
coachman will tell you that his white duffel
coat is warmer in winter and cooler in sum-
mer than any other kind Of coat, and the
brewers drayman will wear his white stock
ings all the year round. The true reason
for our preference of k-colored clothing
in winter and during bad weather is econ
omy. 1t is question of soap and washing,
not OF comfort, which decides us to choose
those colors in materials which do not bear
constant washing, such as wool and silk,
which show the dirt least, and retain their
color longest In the summer, when ladies
wear linen and cotton fabrics which do not
suffer in the wash-tub, they can indulge in
their love Of white and delicate tints of
color

fully is this maxim recognized in life, that
the performance Of anything in an inferior
or shabby manner is always supposed to be
Indicative of certain meanness Of mind.

things by halves.
EFFECT OF PERFUME.-Ws 1earn that
an Italian professor has recently made
some very agreeable medicinal researches
resulting in the discovery that vegetable
perfumes exercise a positively healthy in
t1uence on the atmosphere, converting it's
oxygen into ozone, and thus increasing it's
oxidizing influence. The essences found
to develop the largest quantity of ozone
are those of cherry, laurel, clover, laven-
der, mint, juniper, lemon, fennel, and ber-
gamot; those that give it in smaller guam
tity are anise, nutmeg, and thyme. The
flowers OF the narcissus, hyacinth, mignon-
cite, heliotrope, and lily of the valley de.

destitute of perfume do not develop it, and
those which have but slight perfume de-
| velop it in small quantities. Reasoning
from these facts, the professor recommends
the cultivation of flowers in marshy dis
tricts, and in all places infested with ami
NAL emanations, on account of the power

K1LL1GREw, THE JESTER. The lester
Killigrew frequently had access to Charles
H., when admission was denied the first
peers OF the realm. Charles, who hated
business as much as he loved pleasure often
disappointed the Council, either by not at
tending, or Withdrawing before the bust
ness was concluded. One day the Council
sat considerable time in expectation of
his Majesty, when the Duke of Lauderdale,
so conspicuous for his naughty demeanor,
quilted the room in great passion. On
his way he met Killigrew, to whom he ex.
pressed himself more freely than courte-
ously toward his majesty. Killigrew babe
his grace be calm, for, he would lay a
wager Of a hundred pounds that he would
make his majesty attend the Council in less
than half an hour. Lauderdale took him
at his word, and Killigrew, getting imme-
dlate admission to the king, told him all
that had happened, adding:
know your majesty hates Lauderdale,
though the necessity of your maiesty's af-

you wish to get rid of man you hate.
come to the Council, for Lauderdale is q
man so boundlessly avaricious that, rather
than pay the wager, he will hang himself.

The king laughed at the observation, and

CodPANY.-There is certain magic or
! charm in company, for it will assimilate
and make you like to them by much con-
versation with them. If they be good
company, it is great means to make you
good, or confirm you in goodness; but if
they be bad, it is twenty to one but they
will corrupt and infect you. Therefore be
wary and shy in choosing and entertaining,
or frequenting any company or compan-
ions; be not too hasty in committing your
selves to them; stand off awhile till you
have acquired Of some chat you know,-by
experience to be faithfully what they are
observe what company they keep; be not
too easy to gain acquaintance, but stand
off and keep distance yet awhile, till you
have observed and learned touching them.
Men or women that are greedy of acquaint-
ance, or hasty in it, are oftentimes SHARED
in i'll company before they are aware, and
entangled so that they cannot easily get
loose from it after, when they would. Str
