Obliging a Preacher.

reach Tunnel Hill, came across lit.

about the route and was ready to go on

Consumption.

The influence of soils upon health is
subject of no ordinary interest. A
minute investigation clearly shows that
consumption usually prevails on clayey
and other soils that retain large
amount of moisture. Among other
means of preventing the birth and
growth of this unrelenting malady is
living on dry or well-drained soils. The
dwellings in which persons inclined TO
this disease live should be raised much
above the level of the adjacent lands,
and be exposed as much as possible to
the vital forces Cd the sunny rays.
Drainage of wet and retentive soils not
only produces larger and earlier crops,
but removes the causes of many severe
diseases, notably consumption. Rails
ing dwellings high above the adjacent
land enables us TO well ventilate the
cellars, remove the causes of decompo-
sition, or impurities, check the gener-
ating of injurious gases that would Ill
timately enter the rooms above, and
slowly and slyly create disease. And
so, many wise physicians recommend
that persons inclined to this malady
should avoid the injurious results of
exposure to moist and chilly air, in
cold, damp, and sudden changes of tenn
perature. They strongly urge that such
persons should reside during moist and
chilly months in climates whose chang.
es are less than in the Northern States.
What such patients need is uniformly
dry and moderate temperature, and
they should exercise as much as posi-
BILE in the house. 1t is not the temper
allure itself that harms consumptives,
but the changes of temperature. The
temperature that is usually pleasant
and invigorating to members of the
human family is &C degrees. 1t alb
stracts heat from the human family at
about the rate in which it is generated
in the human body and is congenial and
agreeable. 1t does not exhaust the
vital powers nor produce any unpleas-
ant feelings. The consumptive not
only needs a congenial temperature,
but exercise enough to promote good
digestion. Visiting climate that is
warmer than ones own has only this
advantage that you often visit the outer
air at regular periods of time.
Have food at stated hours and take
time for properly masticating it. Have
as liberal supply of easily digested
nourishing food as you can easily dis
solve, absorb and convert to blood.
Keep the blood in active circulation.
Avoid late hours and chills and damp
air. Secure all the sleep you can. Do
not limit yourselves to any definite
number Of hours, but sleep as long as
your condition needs. Protect
your body with wooden underclothing
and inhale all the air you can in sunny
days and expose your skin to the infu-
ence of the sunny rays. Recovery from
this exhausting malady depends more
on this or q similar course Of treatment
than on medicine. But If drugs arc
absolutely needed take them in small
quantities at regular periods of time.
DO not neglect to rub the skin well with
flesh brush or coarse towel every day
Content and cheerfulness do much to-
ward inducing the same result.-Prai-
rte Farmer.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
now DO THE WRINKLES GOMEZ

Little DO Peep climbs onto my knee
Little 30 Peep is four years old,
And what her bright blue eyes don't see
Would need microscope To behold.
She pulls my beard-that's one of her tasks;
She pokes my checks with her little fat
thumb;
Then, gazing straight In my face, she asks
WHATS IL that makes the wrinkles come"
All, little DO Peep, you can not guess
How hard is the question YOU thus pro-
pound
II calls for greater wisdom (orless)
Than ever philosopher yet has found.
There was time, my little 10 Peep,
When my face was as smooth as yours Is
When never a line or wrinkle dsep
Had left its imprint on my brow.
time when woke from balmy sleep
To ind life always glad surprise:
When | laughed IA you laugh, my little Bo
Peep,
And looked on the world with the same
blue Dyes.
All, well, laughed aud loved and grew Old,
Working AWAY at life's hard sum,
And half was dross that dreamed was gold,
And so the wrinkles began TO como'
Yes, that is the way, my little 30 Peep
AS near us can tell you now
That is the way the burrows deep,
One by one, crcpt over my brow.
When saw tho glad, bright dream @. youth,
Like the rose of summer withcr away:
When l learned how the fragrant flower of
Truth
BY the thistle of Falsehood was strangled
one day;
When tho faith placed I'm man was returned
BY mans ingratitude, blacker than night;
When the hard and bitter truth had been
learned
That might, In this world, too often makes
right;
When saw the good borne down and op.
pressed,
The wicked triumphant in their shame,
The Samaritan scorned and the PhariSeS
blessed
Then, little DO Peep, the wrinkles came
But may you I'm the sunshine ever bask.
SO that when the years shall have made you
gray,
Some 30 Peep gazing mt you shall ask:
What IL IL that keeps the wrinkles away?
