More colds result from bad manage
ment with reference to the feet than
from any other cause. An eminent
scientist once wrote $50 avoid colds keep
the head cool and the feet warm. His
philosophy was strictly on the side of
truth, but, as rule, we are apt to go
directly against its teachings.
Now reason on the case a moment.
We will suppose that i'll cool weather q
man ls warmly clad and he takes off his
coat or undershlrt and goes about expos
ing himself, leaving his other thick
clothing all on. Why, of course we
know what the result would be-he
would contract severe cold. And yet
many of us do that very kind of think on
the approach of cold weather in every
season. We put heavy clothing on the
body but make no change for the feet,
which is precisely the same thing as if
all portions of us had been warmly clad
and we had suddenly removed the warm
clothing from the feet, turning them out
in summer dress. AS We increase the
warmth of our clothing for the body so
should we at the same time make cor
responding. increase for the feet. Moth
ing could be of more Importance.

Some persons start fire in the stove or
fireplace with kerosene. 1t is an ex-
tremely dangerous operation if the oil be
poured from the can, and there is already
a spark of fire among the fuel. Should
lighting fire in this way be desirable
the oil should first be poured from the
can into cup, and then applied from
the cup. Such an application is at
tended with no particular danger, as the
explosive gas has already left the oil in
the cup and foated off through the air.

We hear OF kerosene explosion in
lamps, but there is really no such thing.
Kerosene oil cannot be made to explode.
Under certain conditions, however, a
gas is formed above the kerosene, which
is highly infiamable, and consequently,
very explosive. 1t is, therefore, eX-
tremely dan gerous to attempt filling
lamp from can while there is any fire
about the wick, for the outflow of the
kerosene forces the gas that may have
stood above 1t in the can into the lamp.
Being lighter than common air it rises TO
the flame and is ignited, the result of
which is an explosion; and if there hap
pens TO be more gas in the can the effect
will extend TO that also and cause the
can to burt. In this case the burning
gas will fire the scattered kerosene, and
very serious results may follow.
a kerosene lamp is only dangerous
when the oil in 1t is low, for then the
space above the oil is filed with an explo-
sive gas. Handle a partially empty
lamp with great caution. A lamp en-
tirely full of kerosene may be dropped
and broken with fifty chances to one that
the oil Will not take fire; but on the other
hand, lighted lamp, if only partially
filled, is almost sure to fire the oil with
flash, if broken.

The workings of the human BRAIN is
something that cannot be made clear by
any man s philosophy. When we wish
to see thing as it is and take pains to
look after it we stand q far greater
chance of missing our object than would
seem possible, particularly if that object
be an error of some kind that we desire
to correct; but the moment we have dis
continued our search and it is too late to
correct the error if discovered out it pops
in such full relief that we are puzzled
exceedingly to account for how We man
aged to overlook it.
No man better understands this thinss
than the proof reader on newspaper.
He may read his proof three or four
times and finally desist with the self
congratulation that everything is all
night in this instance, sure. The matter
goes to the stereotyper; the plates are
cast; the press starts. The proof reader
takes up one of the first copies of the
paper that leaps smoking from among
the machinery and there, almost the
first thing he sees. is an error so conspic-
uous that he can't we'll see anything
else. All those four readings had passed
him over it without a suspicion of its ex-
istence, and now there it is the plainest
thing on the page!
Who can explain scientifically this
common phenomenon of the human
brain?

Cycling in East India

An enthusiastic correspondent has been
writing to me of the pleasures of cycling
in India. This is not exactly the season of
the year to long to try it, but his account
of the fine roads makes one wish the coun-
try n trifle nearer and the weather a trifle
more temperate. Indian highways, with
their center well metaled for width of
about fifteen feet and their row of wide
spreading, shade giving trees on each side,
must be as delightful for the cyclist as
those of France and far in advance of any
thing we haven England. Unfortunately,
India is not within reach for fortnight's
holiday; but it is quite clear than no one
whose work carries him to that country
should go there without his bicycle 1t is
especially about the district of Aiigarh that
my correspondent writes so glowingly.-

Death of a Famous Gypsy.

The Journalo of Gypsy Lore records the
death of Sylvester Boswell, notable
Romany chal, who ended his days in Wal
ton workhouse, in England. He was born
at Dover, where his father was a soldier in
charge of the big gun known as Queen
Anne's pocketpiece. On his discharge he
went to Yorkshire, where he brought up
most of his family His death was tragical,
for he and a cousin were Killed by light
ming at Tetford, in Lincolnshire. Sylves-
ter had the wandering instincts of his race.
He married at Yarmouth, and his eight
children were born respectively at Ben
wick, Ascot racecourse ION the Derby day
of 1s4S), Bray, Sisted, Litherland, Sutton,
Flaistow and Woodbridge
His real age was 20, but the gypsies
thought him to be at least 100, and he was
famous among them for his deep Roman
ines" He could read and write. and speci-
mems of his literary efforts are given in

printed by Mr.. Crofton-the only one in

character to surprise those who look upon
the gypsies as pronounced heathens

her the blankets from his bed to cover her
