THE TONGUE AS A REsPlRAToR.
One Plan to Follow When Pacing a Cold East Wind or Breathing the Night Ar.

One Plan to Follow When Facing a Cold
 East Wind or Breathing the Night Ar.
 A writer in The Lancet says: Ut Is not generally known that nature has provided each of us with the best respirator always at hand in the tongue. For years have personally relied on this alone, and have recommended this proceeding to many pa tients. When facing cold east wind or breathing quickly the night air never quite close my mouth, but purposely keep the lips a trihe parted and at the same time curl up my tongue toward the roof of my mouth until the tip reaches as far back as the soft palate, and l gently press the arched under surface of the tongue in some degree against the hard palate Ca little practice soon makes this easy to dol. The cold air then, as 1t enters the mouth, strikes against the under surface of the tongue as well as the floor and sides of the mouth. and is made to pass in a somewhat circuitous manner between the sides of the tongue and the buccal mucous membrane of the pharynx, being thereby warmed in its course, so that by the time it reaches the larynx it is nicely rid of chill and does not excite cough and catarrh. At the same time certain quantity of air of course finds it's way through the nasal passages to Che chest, and it is obvious that a larger quantity of cold air can be effectually warmed by this method of procedure than by relying on either the nose or mouth alone. That the large blood supply of the tongue renders this organ an excellent air warmer must be obvious to all"

Treatment of Tender Feet.

Tender feet are very commonly com plained of. Harper's Bazaar recommends the following treatment: "The first considera- tion for this difficulty is absolute cleanli- ness. Friction what is called the Roman bath'-otherwise rubbing yaseline or oil thoroughly into every joint--a quick rub over with alcohol, in some cases cold spray at bedtime, all are useful; while, should the difficulty seem natural and chronic, the best relief is afforded by wearing firm cot ton (not silk) stockings, and shoes or boots made for the comfort and support of the feet Aromatic vinegar is q good wash in these cases, Where cold water agrees with the system an excellent method of strength ening the foot is to hold 1t in a basin, and, dipping a large sponge in cold water, squeeze it from height of three or four inches above onto the foot, rubbing after ward with alcohol to avoid chill; but it must be borne in mind that to some cOnsti- tutions the application of cold water on the feet induces rush of blood to the head. Cold water congresses on the feet and around the ankle at night, we may men ton in passing, frequently act as a sleep ing draft. A well known foreign gen eral, who from mental worry suffered greatly with insomnia, told us he cured T. by this means, while the applica-ic served to strengthen his feet. Some itutiuns require hot applications. Only knowl- edge of the system and its iGiosy ncrasies can determine this point; but a Little ox. perimenting will teach one what is best to do.n

WE WILL WIN.

The opinion expressed by Hon. Henry H.; Hyde, Massachusetts, mem- Der of the Republican National Con- mittee, that the Republicans will win in the next contest, is one shared by the country at large.
 The wise and conservative course of President Harrison during the three years of his administration has given such general satisfaction, that not only do the Republicans feel confident of success, but the Democrats are absolutely left without fighting chance.
 Not single act of the president has given ofiense to the people of the Nation, and the entire administration has been that of wise diplomat and a statesman able to intelligently cope with the various perplexing questions that are constantly arising in great government like ours.
 With clean record the Republican party goes into the next campaign with the battle half won, which fact is real iIou Dy HO Ou0 hOIe luliy than Dy tho Democrats.
 Yes, we will win next year We will win because we are right, and the Dem- ocrats are wrong! We will win because we are for America and the Democrats are for England We will win because we are fo protection to American labor and American industries, and the Dem ocrats are not We will win because President Harrison has given us clean record, and there will be no excuses or apologies to make
 It will be an easy walk-over for the Republicans next year, and we are really sorry that the campaign will be devoid of the excitement that close contest would furnish.

EDITOR CAMERoN's TACTICS.

It is now understood that Governor Wolfey is against the, constitution and his reason therefor is because it does not contain the test oath. Is it not barely possible that he has learned that Brewster Cameron is NOT against it, Tucson Star.
 Mir. Brewster Cameron, of the Tue son Star, never loses an opportunity to parade his name before the pub lie. It is only lately that he sp- peared before the Phenix public, as q self dppoiated member of a committee from the Tucson Chamber oi- Com merce.
 It is probable, however, that the remembrance of the fact that at the late general election he was required by the party leaders to keep away from the polling precincts of Tucson for fear that his presence would defeat the Repub- lican ticket, now leads him to take this means of announcing himself in favor of the Constitution, with the hopes that it may tend to defeat it.
 It is we'll known that when Mir. Gorm- ley ran for Sheriff of Pima county, that MT. Brewster Cameron fixed up bogus bet of a calf, with one of his employees, that Gormley would be elected, know ing full well that his advocacy would defeat Gormley.
 The friends of the Constitution need not, how be alarmed the Consti- tuition will carry regardless of NIT. Cam eron's injurious support. Governor Wolfey is not opposed to statehood, though he does believe, with many other good men, that before Arizona is sd- mitted as state the Idaho test oath should form part of Ter Constitution.
 The Mormon bible carries polygemy as a divine injunction, and as such it is taught just the same as any other DOT ton of that divine instrument.
 The teaching or preaching of treason or sedition is equally punishable with the practice ot it. The Constitution makes the practice of polygamy a crime, but our Democratic leaders very care fully avoided interfering with the preaching or teaching that 1t was a divine injunction, and the Idaho test oath meets this very point.
 Strange as it may seem, in Idaho the Democrats joined with the Republicans, and, with united voice, declared that they would defeat the Constitution if it did not contain this test oath, as the Congregational Record will show.

FIVE O'CLOCK TEA.

Hints About Correct Form in Costume,
 Invitations, Card Leaving, Etc.
 For o'clock tea reception dress or dinner gown is the approved costume for the hostess and ladies receiving with her, according to Good Housekeeping though a simpler afternoon dress, or even an es. pecially pretty tea gown Is often substi- tuted The guests, on the other hand, in variably come in street dress, retaining bonnet and gloves, and if the rooms are crowded and the call is to be but a brief one, oftentimes even the cloak is not laid aside. A dressing room should always be provided, however, with maid at hand to assist the guests with their wraps; and the woman who has care for her health will gladly avail herself of the opportunity to throw of her cloak. Many 6 severe cold was contracted last winter by neglecting this precaution. The American drawing room Is very apt to be overloaded, and 1t stands to reason that room tempered to the comfort of ladies in reception dress will be insufferable to the guest who has retained her cloak and has swallowed a cup of hot tea. She will be fortunate should she escape a chill on returning to her carriage.
 A series of these informal teas often proves a most convenient means of intro ducing guest to one's friends, says the authority already quoted, when the invita- tion will read thus:
