CHARMING lNCIDENT.-In the city OF
Brotherly Love, some kindly souls built.
years ago, hospital for little children.
There the sick and deformed little ones
are taken ont their wretched homes. and
nursed with the tenderest and most skill
ful care. There is great shady yard
abont the building, and wide porches to
which, in warm days, the little cots are
moved. that the poor babies may feel the
sun and breathe the pure air.
One winters day. year ago, there was
a meeting of the directors. grave middle.

they were passing out through the garden

little convalescents, in their check bihs.

How solemn and woe-begone the little
men looked. One grave old director

and threw it at them.
There was II gasp of establishment, and
then little pipe of cheer; and at it thew
went, pelting down scraps of snow and
lclcles, while the visitors, one and all

of laughter had never been heard there
before. The nurses carried sick babies to
the windows, and they. too, laughed and
clapped their hands.
1t was II pretty sight, and passer.by,
touched by it, told the little incident in a
paper which travels all over the country
In week or two came letter from a
lady in New England, who had money to,
give away, and would like to give it to so
worthy charity; and another from a
poor mother in the far west, whose one
little child was just dead, and who wished
instead of building to her memory me-
mortal window or stately monument,to en-.
dow bed in this hospital.
So the managers found themselves aided
in their good work; and there is bed
marked. g." In memory of little Mary
where there will always be some poor
child, saved from want and possibly from
death.
But they will never know that they owe
it to the SNOWFALL which the genial Rarted
director threw, following his momentary
kindly impulse.

Exercise sharpens the appetite and in
creases the power of digestion. These
are important results. In most cases

ercise drives the blood to the surface, and
favorably affects the skin. It's pores are
opened and the rapidly accumulated heat
passes off through perspiration. No
amount of cold can prevent the outward
passage of fluid, and hence there is no
danger of chill during active exercise.
The danger is great, however, when the
exercise is over unless extra clothing is
put on, to prevent the escape of too much
animal heat, and to equalize the tcmpera-
ture. Like eating and sleeping. exercise
should become regular and persistent
every day of life.
The amount of daily exercise in the
open air depends upon circumstances. As
fur AS possible, the kind of exercise sought
should be that which is the most attractive
and enjoyable. ms this fact adds much to
its health giving power. Exercise is liable
to be excessive or insufficient. Proper
exercise tends 10 increase the muscles in
size, hardness and elasticity; but excessive
exercise tends to loss of power and waste
of tissue. The tired muscle must have
rest to retain its full size and vigor. But
how is this consistent with the constant
activity of the involuntary musclesp How
can tho heart beat all the time, night and
day, for eighty years. while the arm can
swing only half of each twenty -four
hours? These questions are sometimes
asked from msapprehenson. The fact is,
the human heart beats only half the time.

of injury done in this way depends upon
circumstances. The indolent had better
eat moderately, but even then there is n
loss of vitality and arrangement of the
functions of life. Hence deficiency of ex-
ercise tends directly to engender disease
and shorten life.

essential to health and want of it fruit

follow that, in many cases, the only means
of regaining lost health is to resort to suit
able exercise. The movement cure, free
gymnastics and riding and walking in the
open air are far more hopeful remedies
than drugs and medicines of any kind
Prevention is better and cheaper than
cure, and the natural remedies are hettei
