LITTLE THINGS.

Warmth is essential to all bodily
functions. Therefore, an equal bodily
temperature should be maintained by
exercise, by clothing or by fire.
The fluid of our bodies is to the solid
in proportion as nine to one. There
fore, a like proportion should prevail
in the total amount of food taken.
Light exercises an important infu-
ence upon the growth and vigor of ami
mails and plants. Therefore, our dwell
ings should freely admit the solar rays.
Late hours and anxious pursuits ex-
haust the nervous system and produce
disease and premature death. There
fore, the hours of labor and study
should be short.
The fluid part of our bodies also
wastes constantly; there is but one
fluid in animals, which is water.
Therefore, water only is necessary, and
no artiice can produce a better drink.
The solid part of our bodies is con-
tinually wasting and requires to be re-
paired by fresh substances. There
fore, food which is to repair the loss
should be taken with due regard to the
6 ercGse and waste Of the body.
Decomposing animal and vegetable
substancesNyield various novious gases
which enter the lungs and corrupt the
blood. Therefore, al impurities should
be kept away froAp u abodes, and
every precaution be observed to secure
a pure atmosphere.
Moderation in eating and drinking,
short hours of labor and stAdy, regu.
larity in exercise, recreation and rest,
cleanliness, equinimity of temper Rnd
equality of temperature-these are the
great essentials to that which surpasses
all wealth, health of mind and body.
Pure atmospheric air is composed of
nitrogen, oxygen and a very small pro
portion of carbonic acid gas. Air once
breathed has lost the chief part of its
oxygen and acquired a proportionate
increase of carbonic acid gas. There
fore, health requires that we breathe
the same air once only.

GOOD TO DRINK.

Averyth cruel, slightly sweetened,
is a good drink. Into a quart Of boil
ing water stir two tablespoons oatmeal
boil for an hour. or, longer, strain
through a coarse sieve or a ~cullender,
add a pinch of salt, and a little milk
and sugar. Wet one tablespoon rice
flour in a little cold milk, put into one
quart boiling water, salt slightly and
boil till transparent. Flavor with a
little lemon peel andsugar. One quart
boiling water, three tablespoons corn
meal mashed in several waters,
one-half teaspoon salt; add one half
cup milk and a little sugar; a pinch of
gingeris an improvement. Soak pearl
or ground barley all night or a few
hours in cold water, put into boiling
water and cook till very soft. Season
like the others. All these drinks must
be thin and not too highly seasoned.

WEAVER AND HIS PAST UTTER.
ANCES.

An Arkansas friend sends us a clip
ping from one of his State papers de-
nouncing Gen. Weaver, and quotes
what purports to be words of that gen
tleman spoken years ago. These words
may or may not have been said.
The people, North and South, during
the war, and too long after, said very
bitter things of each other, things they
felt then, but, thank God. do not feel
now. Are we never going to quit re-
calling the bitter scenes of other years
to keep the fires of hate aglow in u
bosoms2 The politicians would have
us keep up this war of hate, because it
is their seal of power.
Why not say that Gen Weaver led
a h ST of armed men against the South,
and make capital out of that? Why
not say that every Southern man of
note made war upon the government,
and make capital out of that9 Just as
well try to make capital out of these
things as out of what men said during
the strife of that dreadful period. and
for years afterward. A prominent
Democratic paper of the North recently
had Weaver pictured In a generals
uniform almost loaded down with
chickens, while other soldiers were
around him engaged in the work of
plumber. Such a cartoon is an insult
to good people North and South, and
it was published for the sole purpose
of reminding the war spirit, reviving
sectional hate, and keeping the poll
ticians in power. tits well knownthat
Gen. Weaver, in all Of his campaigns,
was one OF the most humane Of com
manders, and that he did nothing In
his long years of service discreditable
to an honorable soldier. The soldiers
who crossed swords with him on South
ern fields, meet him to-day as they did
then, as honorable men meeting honor
able men. IL is the stay at home poll
tlcians that are kindling the stVffe new;
it was they that kindled it then; and
we shall never be at peace until these
politicians are squelched blythe indlg-

GO SLOW, GIRLS

Scarcely a day passes witout it's
newspaper story Of some girl who met
a man so interesting that she could not
live without him, so she married him
in haste, after wards learning that he
was an ex-convict or brute or already
had a wife or two from whom he had
separated without the formality of a
divorce. In such cases the blame is
laid on the man whogenaralIy deserves
more abuse than he gets. But, girls,
look at the matter seriously a few min
utes. and see if the trouble might rot
have been avoided if you had not been
in too much of a hurry. Marriage
means partnership for life; DEGREES of
divorce are merely exceptions that
prove the rule. Would any man enter
into a business partnership with such
as you seem satisfied wi5h9 Well, no
not unless he were a sweet souled
lunatic. Talk is cheap, girls; it can be
made to order as fast as the tongue
can run, especially when there is a
pretty face to inspire it and two ears
willing to receive it. Don't fear that
some other girl will get the fellow un-
less you secure him at once. A fish
that any one can catch isn't worth
throwing a line for. Play him to find
out whether he amounts to anything.
If he becomes impatient and dashes
away. why follow Dogberry-thank
God you are rid of a knave East

FRETT1NG.

One fretter can destroy the peace of
a family, can disturb the harmony of
a neighborhooi, can ~unsettle the coun-
ellis of cities, and hinder the legislation
of nations. He who frets is eve the
one who mends, whoheaIs, who repairs
evils; more, he discourages, e~nfeebles,
and too often disables those around
him who, but for the gloom and the
depression of his company, would do
good work and keep up brave cheer.
The effect upon a sensitive person of
the mere neighborhood OF fretter is
indescribRble. It is to the soul what a
cold icy mist is to the body-more
chilling than the bitterest frost, more
dangerous than the iercest storm.
And when the fretter is one who is
beloved, whose nearness of relation to
us makes his fretting, even at the
weather, seem almost like a personal
reproach to us, then the misery of it
becomes indeed insupportable. Most
men call frettiug a minor fault, a foible
and not a vice. There is no vice ex-
cept drunkenness, which can SO utterly
destroy the peace, the happiness of a
home.
