Dirt and Bodily Heat

The part which the skin plays In the
regulation of bodily heat, says the Lam
Get, IS not adequately estimated The
envelope of complicated structure and
vital function which covers the body,
and which nature has destined 10 per-
form large share Of the labor OF health
preserving, is practically thrown out of
use by our habit of loading It with
clothes. It is needless TO complicate
matters by allowing it to be choked and
encountered with dirt II the skin of en-
animal be coated with an impervious
yarnish, death must ensue. 4 covering
of dirt is only less inimical to life. We
are not speaking of dirt snch as effends
the sense OF decency, but of those accu-
mutations of exuded matter with which
the skin must become loaded Il it is
habitualiy covered and not thoroughly
cieansed. The cold bath is not
cleansing agent. A man may bathe
daily and use his bath towel even
roughly, but remain as dirty to all prac.
teal intents as though he eschewed
cleanliness; indeed, the physical evil Of
dirt is more likely to ensue, because il
! wholly neglected, the skin would cast of
! its excrementitious matter by periodic
! perspirations with adesq uamation OF the
cuticle. Nothing but q frequent wash
| ing In water, of at least equal tempera-
ture with the skin, and soap, can insure q
free and healthy surface The feet re-
quire especial care, and IL is too much
the practice to neglect them. The
| omission Of daily washing with soap and
/ the wearing Of foot coverings, so tight as
| to compress the blood-vessels and retard
/ the circulation of the blood through the
extremitiea. are the most common
causes of cold feet The remedy IS OBJ
vious; dress loosely and wash frequently.
Rev DR.. Thomas, recently on trial
/ for heresy at The Rock River (Ili.)
III. e. Conference, is described as 8
good thinker, fond Of metaphysical
subjects, but also intensely practical.
He can preach q philosophical SER
mon, but usually confines himself to
everyday topics, or else mixes the
philosophical with the practical. He
breaches short sermons, and stops
almost abruptly. He has no man-
nerisms, no pet theological phrases,
no can't He talks in business style
rather than professional style. He
avoids theological terms and dis,
tinctions, and rarely INDUCES IN sci
entific terms. He never quotes
poetry, and rarely Scripture. His
sermons are not on Biblical or theo-
logical subjects, but on practical
ones. He rarely discusses old Testa-
ment topics like Abraham, the ark of
/ the covenant or the charsof Of Ere.

Be Honorable.

BOYS and young men sometimes start
out into life with the idea that ones
success depends on sharpness and chi
canery. They imagine If a man is able
to "get the best of a bargain" nomat-
ter by what deceit and meanness he
carries his point. that his prosperity is
assured. This is a great mistake. En-
during prosperity can not be founded on
cunning and dishonesty
The tricky and deceitful man is sure
to fall a victim, sooner or later, TO the
influences which are forever working
against him His house is built upon
the sand, and its foundation will be GER
tain to give way. Young people can
not give these truths too much weight.
The future of that young man is safe
who eschews every shape of double
dealing, and lays the foundation Of his
career in the enduring principles Of
