Frost Proof Men.

Just as l regard frost proof lower ami
NAL so also do respect the frost proof
higher one, man himself. l can see little
to admire in the organization Of one who
fears the frost; because, whatever his
mental endowments may be, he lacks an
essential of the perfect physical man,
that is, manhood. As for boys they are
like persimmons in this, that they neveI
approached maturity until the frost
has sweetened them; and removed the
peculiar acerbity of some green things.
The lad who has never gathered shell
barks when his fingers tingled, or never
brushed the October frost from the clover
stubble with his bare feet, has missed an
experience in early life which would have
sent him into the world with harder mus
cIes and steadier nerves for duties which
might await his coming. Your vigorous
men with ruddy faces are OF supreme
good nature, for "life is sweet to them.'

monopoly Of that worst form Of " hqmori

An Anecdote of Mehsfer.

Webster liked good story even if he
was the hero Of it. He delighted to re-
late that while going in stage from Con
cord, n. H., to his home on certain oc-
caSion he had for a travelling companion
very old man. The old gentleman
lived at Salisbury and as Captain Web
ster-Daniel's father-had been quite
popular thereabouts Daniel asked if he
had ever known him. "Indeed did, /"
said the antiquarian, and the Captains
was "A good and brave man, and grandly
did he fight at Bennington with General
Stark, - continued the old gentleman
Did he leave any childrcn2" asked
the great statesman.
"Oh yes; there was Ezekiel and,
think, Daniel, - was the simple reply.
"What has become of them29 Daniel
inquired
'Whv, Ezokiel--and he was a power

Exercise for Aged People.

NJ. Bouchardat, professor Of hygiene at
the Paris faculty Of medicine, protested
in strong terms at recent lecture against
the advice given by some hygienists who
recommend almost complete rest to the
aged, in the following terms; j protest
against the oft repeated adage that old
ape is the ape Of rest. This sentence
has led to very great error in hygiene.
The regular general exercise of all organs
of nutrition and Of locomotion is necessa-
nv to persons of all ages The greatest
attention on this point is all the more
necessary that the tendency to rest brings
on gradual deminution of the strength.
If the old man does not resist, his
strength will visibly and progressively
diminish, and the few days he may have
to live may be transformed into just SO
many hours. In proof that regular daily
exercise is beneficial to the aged one has
only to observe the results in some of the
handsomest old men, who take little or nc
rest Moderate exercise, particularly
walking, should be the leading precept
Of. the hygiene-of- the assd Mithonl
which longevity is well nigh impossible. y
Professor Bouchardat also recommends
that old people should maintain their in
telectual faculties, or otherwise they will
get into a state of incurabc torpor This
is best accomplished by having some
steady intelIectE+f pursuit, and by taking
an active interest in the events and pro
gress Of the day. In our boyhood we re-
member very old man, who told us he
kept in as perfect health as an old man
can be by chopping wood for an hour or
two every day. This he regarded as suf-
icient exercise for him Another old
man we know finds his health greatly
benefited by saving wood with the ordi-
nary buck saw Heyald Of Heaih.

Greek RuriaI CuSIOmS.

A correspondent at Athens gives an ac-
count of many curious burial customs pc
culiar to Greece which lately came under
his notice. A piece of linen as wide as
the body, and twice as long, was doubled,
and a hole large enough for the head cut
out of it, In this the body was wrapped
and then dressed in new clothes, and
more especially new shoes Beneath the
head was placed pillow full of lemon
leaves. In the mouth was put bunch
Of violets and around the temples
chaplet flowers. These are used only for
for the unmarried and must be white.
Both head and feet were tied with bands
made for the purpose, which were un-
loosed at the edge Of the grave when the
coffin was about to be closed A small
coin "a relic of the fee to the ferryman)
was placed in the palm Of the hand At
Athens sou is dropped into the coffin,
The greatest attention is given to this
point. In removing the body the feet al
ways go first. A priest came on three
successive days to sprinkle the room,
fumigate it and repeat certain prayers, as
for that period after death it was sup
posed to be haunted After burial
women are hired to keep light burning
over the grave until the body is supposed
to be dccomposed To assist this, the
bottom of modern Greek coffins is Of lat
tice work. Every Saturday the poor Of
Athens place on the graves Of their
friends eatables of the sort they used to
like. -Sunbeams.

Cherry PectOral.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so tried with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold resulting
perhaps from a trfing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PECToRAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
