Health Alphabet.

The Ladies' Sanitary Association,
of London, gives the following simple
rules for health, which we find copied
in the Sanitorian:
A-ssoon as you are up shake blank
ct and sheet.
Better be without shoes than sit
with wet feet.
Children, if .ealthy, are active,
not still.
Damp beds and damp clothes will
both make you i'll.
Eat slowly, and always chew your
food we'll.
F-reshen the air in the hoase where
you dwell.
Garments must never be made
tight.
Homes should be healty, airy and
light.
If you wish to be we'll, as yon d
I've no doubt.
Just open the windows before yor
go out.
Keep the room always tidy an,
clean.
Let dust on the furniture never
! be seen.
Much illness is caused by the want
of pure air.
Nov, to open the windows be ever
your care.
Old rags and old rubbish should
never be kept.
People should see that their floors
are well-swept.
Quick movements in children are
healthy and right.
Remember the young cannot thrive
without light.
See that the cistern is clear to the
brim.
Take care that your dress is all
tidy and trim.
Use your nose to find if there be
bad drain.
Very sad are the fevers that come
in its train.
Walk as much as you can without
feeling fatigue.
X-erxes could walk full many a
league.
Your health is your wealth, which
yonr wisdom must keep
Zeal will help good cause, and
the good YOU will reap.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1883-11-23

see why so ponderous a word has be n
dropped by photographers. In some
places, as if we speak of how original
sin lies heavy on US, it seems a most
appropriate word. I'VE inherit, with
Adams nature, the damn cleaving to

to our American grandfathers, and
lasted even till the time when the con-
tinental currency was dead loss. :
So come the expression Not worth a

DAMN or dead loss And. for short:
Not worth a damn'--or bit Of paper
that was dead loss. II is not to the
credit of our American photographers
that they have not recognized this orr
gin of phrase peculiarly American,
and that, if slang at first having a
basis in fact, like a countless number
of other words, has been enrolled as a
factor in our accepted language-as
'gerrymandering. has been. The peo-
pie did better than their writers of
primers, examiners and dictionaries
They kept the old words. Damn means
loss--Gn American parlance, as a.
bove, worthless scrip Damnable,
for its general meaning, signifies 'wor-
thy of severe censure.' Only when
used in theological connection does
it imply what Puritans suppose. 1t,
most certainly, is not swearing! And,
except by the imposition of Puritan

yet we remember hearing people u.s.

not, say 4 do not care cuss'--mean.
