On Keeping Warm.

A writer on hygienic topics in the
New York Christian Advocate says
concerning the philosophy of keeping
warm: with the mercury in the
sitting-room ut 6S degrees one ought
to be comfortably warm. If he is
not, the temperature is not at fault.
Either more exercise, more carbona-
| ciOus food, or more clothes are need
ed; possibly more pure air is needed,
for bad air will strike a chill to the
| stoutest heart. Instead then. when
/ one feeis cold, of Increasing the fre in
| the range, increase the heat i'm the
blood or more carefully prevent its
escape by putting on garments that
are nOnconductors of heat; open the
windows and let in more oxygen, and
let out the poisonous products of res
piration, or go into the open air
and draw from unfailing reservoirs
fresh supplies of heat and vigor.
There are women who suffer from
chilliness most of the time from fall
to spring and who therefore live as
much as they can in rooms heated to
80 and 90 degrees. They object to
much underclothing, and make slight
change in summer and winter body
wear. Of coarse they are always
having colds and illnesses of various
kinds, which plenty of flannels would
entirely prevent.
Some assert that flannels irri-
tate the skin and cannot be endured
next to it. Ifnot, silk or cotton
garment may be worn next to the
skin, and flannel over that. Vigor-
Gus friction of the entire surface of
the body before going to sleep and
upon rising from sleep is an excellent
thing to keep one warm. Starchy
food, sugar and fats-all articles con
tanning carbon in abundance-are
good foods for cold weather. Pas
tries, cake and crullers are in season
now if ever they ought to be in sea-
son. Candy in cold weather is CRATE
ful to the palate and far less injur-
ious, than in warm weather. Instead
OF burning carbon in the stove then,
put it into the stomach, put on cloth
ing till chillness ceases, exercise till
the body is all in a glow, keep the air
of the room fresh and pure, and the
liabilities to sickness that make win
ter a season to be dreaded will be
largely reduced"

A good story is told at the expense
of a prominent Utica business man,
says the Herald of that city. The
gentleman recently purchased small
but improved type-writing machine,
and in conversing with a friend soon
after informed him of this fact, at
the same time commencing it very
highly, and remarking that he could
hold it on his lap. The friend was
interested, and said he would like to
see it. He accordingly called at the
business mans Office day or two la
ter and found him in. There was al
so another person in theroom, but
without taking note of this fact the
visitor said: Where is that little
typewriter that you hold on your
knee?" Before n reply could be
made, an indignant young lady arose
from her chair, and forsaking the
type, writing machine which she had
been manipulating, hurriedly left the
apartment. An interval of silence
followed, than the young lady was
hunted up and explanations were
made. 1t was some time, however,
before she could be convinced that
the visitor was making inquiries
about u machine.

Till you ache from head to foot;

Make their pleasure double
To perceive you've put yourself

More than you were able,
Fail not to apologize
For you house and table.

But it was useless; the enraged assailants
bayoneted man and boy, prisoner and

streams out at the passageways.
The attacks of Pillow and Quitman COW
cred the southern and western sides of the
hill; the eastern side was connected with
the city, and the northern was approached
by division under Gen. Worth in con-
junction with Pillows advance from west
to east. Worth was to guard Pillows
flank, and his advance captured an outside
battery and opened an attack on the main
Mexican line beyond Chapultepec Castle
just at the time the work fell before Pillow
and Quitman. Gen. Scott mounted to the
dome of the castle and took a sweeping
view of the city that now lay before his
victorious battalions, and from there di-
