Liberty IS the power which belongs

OUTDOOR LIFE.

Man seems planned for an outdoor life
in a mild climate, with just a leaf or two
of shelter tor a rainy day. His nature will
bend for a time to the conventional bur-
dens of an artificial civilization, but replant
him on his first principles in the outdoor
garden of life and his reeuperatiye forces
will rebound with the elastic energy of
steel springs relieved. Our fashionable
friends would lose caste were they to use
their neighbours secondhand clothing, but
they will daily try to purify their W blood
with their neighbours secondhand or ten
times used breath, poisoned as it always is,
even when exhaled by young and healthy
persons. Man, in common with other
warm blooded creatures, generates a sur
plus of heat within his body. Outdoor
sleepers find that no matter how cold the
surrounding air may be, if dry, enough of
the ~outflowing heat may be damned back
and retained by suitable clothing to sus-
tain the vital functions in health and com
fort. Until domestic art can supply our
lungs with cool, acknowledged air, in
warm rooms, its ~votaries will have an inn
portant problem to solve. In the mean
time ~out-campers and howell jewellers will
wear the best aerated blood in the land

WATER.

The muscles of the body are about three
fourths water; the cartilage, three-fifths;
the brain and nerves and blood, each four
ifths. The lymph is nearly all water,
tninety-seven hundredths). Even the
bones are one-tenth water. Of the body,
as a whole, sixty-eight parts out of one
hundred are water.
Moreover, water not only constitutes the
larger part of all the secretions, but it holds
in solution all the various elements out
of which the body is renewed, and is a
flowing stream to receive again and carry
away the waste which is as constantly
thrown off at every point. Further, with
out it the chemical changes in constant
progress in every tissue would be impossi-
BILE.
Now the water of the body is no more
fixed than are its solids. Like the latter,
having done its work once, it enters into
the great waste current and is thrown
from the body through the skin, the kid
neys, and the lungs at an average of over
ten pounds a day.
Keeping these facts in view, the reader
will see why water is so much more essen
tial to life thar food-a man being able to
live several times as long without the lat
ter as without the former. The following
facts condensed from the american Journal
of Medical Science, indicate the sufferings
consequent on a brief Withholding of this
fluid.
In 1877 forty American troopers in pur'
suit of Indians lost their way, and fol
three days failed to find water. The sec
ond day some fell from their horses ex'
hausted. The third day the most loath.
som fluid would have been hailed witt
delight.
The s~alivary and mucous fluids had ut
terly failed. and men were unable to swal
low their bread. All were affected with
vertigo, dimness of vision, and deafness
Many were delirious.
Their breathing became difficult, anc
they had a sense of suffoeation. Theil
fingers and palms were shriveled and pale,
Their minds became affected, SO that they
grew suspicious of each other.
On the fourth day they were unable tc
sleep. When, the next day, water was
reached and drank, for a while it was vom'
tied up as fast as it was swallowed, and
the thirst remained Unsuitable until the re-
hottest tissues of the body had obtained :
supply.-Youths' Companion.

4 novel way to preserve flowers which
you want to send away, is to bore holes in
a potato and insert the stems of the flowers.
1t is said there is sufficient moisture in a
good-sized potato to support a flower for
two weeks in a moderately cool tempera-

A subscriber recommends this way of
making washing easier: For a large boiler
of clothes take half a bar of soap, add half
a cup of kerosene oil, mix, and put in a
boiler of cold water. Soak the clothes
over night in cold water, wiring them out
in the morning and put in the boiler, and
bring to a boil. Then rinse them from the
suds without rubbing unless they are very
dirty.
