Good Rules for Winter.

Never lean with the back upon any.
| thing that is cold
Never begin a journey until the break
| fast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately go out into the cold.
Keep the back, especially between the
shoulder blades, well covered also, the
chest well protected. In sleeping in a
cold room establish a habit of breathing
through the nose, and never with the
mouth open.
Never go to bed with cold or damp feet
Never omit regular bathing, for unless
the skin is in active condition, the cold
will close the pores and favor congestion
and other diseases.
After exercise of any kind, never ride
in an open carriage or near the window
OF car for moment; it is dangerous 10
health or even life.
When hoarse, speak as little as possible
until the h0arseness is recovered from,
else the voice may be permanently lost, or
difficulties Of the throat be produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire, and
never continue keeping the back exposed
to heat after il has become comfortably
warm. To do otherwise is debilitaung.
When going from warm atmosphere
into a cooler one, keep the mouth closed
so that the air may be warmed in its pas
sage through the nose ere 1t reaches the
lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken q slight degree
Of exercise, and always avoid standing on
ice or snew, or where the person is ex-
posed 70 cold wiDd.-San!tarium.

Dark Waters of Superior.

How cold the dark water Of Lake Su-
perior is! One evening when we were
steaming across that lake l asked the
mate what was done when a man fell

"Why'' / asked, astonished at his
heartle.sness.
The water of Lake Superior is so cold
that a man cannot live in it during the
time it takes TO stop . rapidly moving
vessel and lower a boat be replied.
Then he added: Il have sailed on this
lake for twenty years. During that time
I have known many men to fall off ves-
sells, l know of one man only who es-
capped death. He was saved By scratch.
The others We're apparently killed by the
shock produced by falling into such cold
water" He picked up an empty can to
which long string was attached and cast
it overheard. The can skipped from the
crest of one wave 10 that Of another for
an instant, then dipped and filled. The
hoary headed mate drew the full can up
and handed it 20 me, saying: Take 8
drink of that, and then you say what
you think Of your chances of swimming
in Lake Superior for ten or fifteen min
utes." / drank deeply, and IT was as
though liquid ice flowed down nv throat.
1T is alleged" the mate said, that
this lake never gives up its dead, that 20

buried for all time / do not know whether
This is true or not. but do know that

lake" I wonder j! that is true; | doubted

A Cheap Telephone.

To make seryiceable telephone from
one house to another only requires enough
wire and two cigar boxes. First select
your boxes, and make q hole half in inch
in diameter in the center of the bottom Of
each, and then place one in each Of the
houses you wish to connect; then get five
pounds of common iron stovepipe wire
make loop in one and put it through the
hole in your cigar box and fasten it with
q nail: then draw it tight to the other
box, supporting it when necessary with q
stout cord.
You can easily run your line into the
house by boring "a hole through the glass.
Support your boxes with Stats nailed
across the window, and your telephone is
complete. The writer has one that is 2OC
yards long: and cost forty-five cents, tina,
will carry music when the organ is play.

WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
Fortunes Made by Lucky Whalers Whs
Find AElbergris.

The ProvincetowE, Mass, whalemen
have been unusually successful in their
voyages within the last fifteen or twenty
years, not only in the amount of Oil OBJ
tanned but in that of ambergris. Amber
girls is peculiar secretion found in dis
eased whale, and is worth its weight ia
gold. 1t is not buoyant article. and is
only obtained by killing the whale, or the
whales dying and drifting ashore, wher
the lump of ambergris washes upon the
beach after the carcass is decomposed.
The ambcrgris Tor sick whales are usually
found near the land, and when the
stuff is picked up on shore the car
cass of dead whale is usually
somewhere in the vicinity. When an ap-
paren.ly healthy whale is killed, and on
examination appears to have very little
oil, search for ambergris is made. In
appearance it is dark gray, sticky sub
Stance, and very vile smelling. 1t is
principally used in making perfumes, to
set the odor, and as refiner.
1t is related that one afternoon, years
ago, the schooner Gage Phillips, Of
Provincetown, was drifting on the whal-
ing grounds, when the man on lookout
reported that small, peculiar looking
suDSldHCC " do vi tliC pol tCls
1t was taken on dock and pronounced to
be some pecliar kind of West Indian gum.
After being kicked around the deck for
some days it was thrown carelessly into
the stern boat. The Phillips fell in with
another whaler and the crews exchanged
visits. The visiting captain noticed the
gum" declared it was ambergris and
revealed its value. 1t was taken care Of,
and when the vessel arrived home the sale
of that lump of gum" added $4,000 to
the general stock of the voyage.
Another captain of a merchant vessel,
lying at anchor off one of the islands in
the West Indies, discovered lump as
large as his two fists in the possession of
a negro, who sold it to the captain for one
flannel shirt and an old pair of pontaloons.
1t was sold in the states for $500. A
whaling crew having secured and killed a
whale, cut it in two and fround dark,
gray mass about the size Of a half barrel.
In the effort to get it Oh deck the leadlike
mass shot downward into the fathomless
sea, and at least $50 900 slipped neatly
away, leaving mad captain and mad
crew. There are living in Provincetown
many retired whalerS who have made
fortunes in the find of ambergris, and
seldom a season passes without some Of
her captains returning wealthy men,

BOSTON STORE.

transactions in tdei both with receivers
and with the consumer are by the ton.
Wheat is handled in the elevators now by
the hundred weight instead of the bushel
The produce men are adopting the weight
system, and the retailers are following
them. Potatoes and onions are sold by
the pound in many groceries now instead
of by the measure. Eggs should be sold
by weight, as the dozen plan is not salts

ton of the metrical system in other lines,
