RULES FOR GOLD WEATHER.

Something for Those Persons Vino Be-
lieve Prevention Better Than Cure.
The following rules, published in
Farm and FireSide, are worth needing
in those who believe that ian ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure :"
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold. Never begin
journey until the breakfast has been
eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately 90 out in the cold air.
Keep the back-especially between
the shoulder blades covered; also
the chest well protected. In sleeping
in cold room establish the habit of
breathing through the nose, and never
with the mouth open.
Never 60 to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never omit regular bathing, for UNI
cold will close the pores, and favor con-
gestion or other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage, or near the win
dow of a car for moment; it is danger
Gus to health and even to life.
When hoarse, speak as little as pos
sible until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be perma.
nently lost, or difficulties of the throat
be produced.
Merely warm the back by fire, and
never continue keeping the back ex
posed to heat after it has become com
fortably warm. TO do otherwise is de
bilitating.
When going from warm atmos
phere into colder one, keep the mouth
closed so that the air may be warmed
by its passage through the nose, ere j
reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es
pecially after having taken a slight de
| gree of exercise; and always ayoiC
standing on ice or snow, or where th,
person is exposed to . cold wind,

''rM SITTING ON THE sTILE."

She turned the music swiftly DER,
=, Her lovely color came and went;
She tossed her jaunty hat aside,
And sat before the instrument.
The ivory keys her ivory hands
Touched with a master touch the while
With sweetest voice she sang that sweet
Old song: "I'm sitting on the stile."
He softly stole within the room
To hear her sing; entranced he sat
Upon the most convenient chair,
The chair which held her jaunty hat
She turned and looked with anGuished eyes,
He turned and looked with sickly smile;
Beheld the ruin he had wrought,
And said: I'm sitting on the style"
