Nothing seems more simple than to
adapt clothing to the weather by the
addition of an overcoat, light or heavy,
rs the occasion requires. 1t must not,
however, be forgotten that, in proper.
ton as the garment superimposed upon
the ordinary clothes is effective in pro-
duc;ng O sense of warmth, it acts by ar
resting the evaporation of warm vapoI
from che body. This warm vapor con-
Times to rise through the ordinary
clothing, but it is prevented from es-
Gaping, and the clothes are saturated
with it. The general effect is well
enough while the overcoat is kept on,
but the moment 1t is removed evapora-
ton recommenees, and the body IL
placed in cooler" constructed on the
principle adopted when damp cloth
is wrapped round a butter dish, the
vapor passing off, abstracting the heat,
and leaving the contents of the cooler
refrigerated.
The point to make clear is that the
overcoat, let 1t be fashioned and ventil-
ated as 1t may, does not prevent the un-
derclothing from being saturated with
moisture, but actually tends to make
the moisture accumulate therein. This
is proved by the sense ofgenial warmth
felt while the overcoat is worn, and the
evidences of perspiration easily per-
ceived under the arms and at the sides
OF the chest particularly, immediately
after the overcoat has been removed
Moreover, we take Off the overcoat when
we enter q warm house, and precisely
at the moment when muscular activity
Is suspended. A We little considera-
ton will suffice to convince the com.
mon sense thinker that nothing can
well be worse managed than this pro-
cess, both as regards its nature and the
time and conditions of its operation. 1t
is opposed to all the canons of health
to allow the clothing to become satu.
rated with perspiration and then to take
off external covering and suffer rapid
cooling by evaporation, while, if it were
designed to do this at the worst posi-.
ole time, probably none worse could be
found than when muscular exercise has
been discontinued. The suggestion we
have to offer is, that il would be far
better policy to wear only one coat at
time, and TO make whatever change
may be necessary by removing a thin

wearing overcoats, people would wear
coats of different thicknesses, according
to the weather and conditions general.

ing 10y evaporation; the garments satu.
rated with moisture would be removed
and dry off the body instead of on il.
We believe no inconsderable propor.
ton of the colds attacks of lumbago,
and even more formidable results OF
what are popularity called ~chil q, NAV
be traced to the practice of wearing
overcoats which arrest the ordinary
process of evaporation, cause the cloth
ing within to be saturated with accum
ulated perspnation, and are then re-
moved, when rapid cooling takes place.
The avoidance OF this peril is to be at
tanned by such change of coats as the
conditions require.

A Kind Act.

One day Sir William Napier, while
walking in the country near Priesthood,
met little girl sobbing over broken
bowl She told him that when she got
home she would be whipped; but sud-
denly she looked up at him and said: :
"But ye can mendit, can't 'ee?" He told
her that he was afraid he could not, but
that he would give her sixpence to buy
a new bowl. Finding, however, that
he had no money in his pocket, he
promised to meet her on the spot, and
at the same time, next day. The child
was off quite happy. On returning
home, Napier found an invitation to dine
at Bath the next evening, to meet q
person he particularly wished to see.
He at once thought OF this little friend.
Would it be possible to go and meet
her, and then to return in time for din
ner? Finding that it would be impos-
sible, he wrote to decline the invitation,
remarking to his daughters, Il cannot
disappoint her, she trusted me so i'm
plicitly"

John /. Blair, Of Blairsville, N. j.,
is one of the most remarkable of men.
Though so years of age, his bearing is
perfe thy erect, and he is more active
than many young fellows of 30 years.
The Jersey town In which he lives WINS
founded by him and named in his
honor, bu the is known in the West as
one of the most extensive railroad
builders of the century.
He is man Of very large wealth and
of very original methods. Many years
ago, it is told of him, he was q partner
of John j. Alley, another millionaire.
They disagreed and separated. Some
time after Alley sued him for some
thing like two and half millions.
When the trial day came Mr.. Blair was
not ready, for some reason, and he
wanted n postponement. There was a
batta ion of lawyers in the case, and q
great deal of quibbling nsued. The
court finally decided to grant the mo
ton, but stipulated that bond OF
double the amount of the alleged claim
should be filed.
@The bond required will be $5,0O0,.
900, / understand" said Mr.. Blair,
when that point had been reached.
The opposing counsel were quick to
assure him that he had not overstated
the amount.
Il expected there would be some
thing Of the kind necessary" said Mr.,

PROF. PACKARD has brought together
notes from early voyagers. as we'll as
naturalists and others, bearing on the
origin of the native races of dogs. The
article was prepared as much to elicit
information from others as TO throw
new light on debated subject 1t is
remarked that the impression that the
domestic dog of the old world has de-
scended from wild species of dog, dis
tinct from the wolf, may be we'll found
ed. bat that in America the evidence
tends to prove that the Eskimo and
other domestic varieties of dogs were
domesticated by the aborigines and
used by them before the discovery of
America, our American varieties in
some cases arising from the gray wolf,
and the smaller Indian dogs from the
prairie wolf, or coyote. During recent
journey in Mexico, the resemblance OF
the dogs to the coyote was marked.
The coyote and Indian dog are we'll
known in Montana to produce fertile
offspring.

grandma about the house, picking up
such information as childish curiosity
leads to, and suddenly putting her hand

told her it was a corn-popper, and that
temporarily ended the catechism-
Some time afterward the two were
seated quietly in the sewing-room,
