HEALTH HINTS FOR BOYS.
Good Everyday Rules That May BE
Easily Followed.


Easily Followed.
In the first place always rise at the
same time in the morning. Lying abed
Sunday morning three hours later than
any other day in the week is not real
ly any pleasanter, and, besides, it
throws the whole scheme of your meals
out for that day. know family
and they ought to know better-who
have breakfast at eight on all week
days, lunch at one and dinner at six.
On Sundays, that is once in seven days,
they have breakfast at ten, dinner at
one and hearty supper at five. The
result is that by seven o'clock Sunday
night every one in the family feels
stuffed, unnatural, tired, cross and
everything else that is disagreeable.
Don't do this. Eat breakfast at the
same time every morning in the week.
If at eight on Tuesday, then at eight on
Sunday. And the same with lunch and
dinner, or dinner and supper.
When you get out of bed in the morn
ing, strip and go through a five-minute
exercise, after studying what partic-
ular parts of your body and what mus
cles are weak. BY going through these
exercises, whatever they are, for five
minutes, you will end by being in a
glow, perhaps in perspiration. Then
take bath. Don't make the mistake
some people make of thinking that the
water must always be cold as it runs
cut of cold faucet or as il comes out
of the pump. That is wrong. English
men very often do this; but the temper
ature in England is much evener than
in the middle ATTITUDES of the United
States, and consequently water the
temperature of the air" does not mean
water that is nearly ice one morning
and comparatively warm the next. A
good plan is to let cold water run until
the bath is perhaps three inches deep.
Then put in little warm water. That
takes the chill off the water, and then
it will not give anyone shock.
A bath can be had in any house on
the earth, and no one can say that he
cannot battle every morning because
there is no bath tub in his house. There
is always water near a civilized house,
or any house, for that matter, and you
can pump it or carry it to your room
the night before if there is no running
water in the house. If there is no bath
tub, get a chat BATH" or, if you cannot
we'll do that, take big tub, but on no
account give up the bath.
Afterwards give yourself long and
hard rub until your skin is red-and
then the day is well begun.-Harper's
Young People.

screams, and, rushing to the rescue,
found Nettie in the talons of large
bald eagle, which had boldly attacked
her, but did not seem able to carry her
away. She pulled Nettie from the
birds talons, but when she attempted
to take the wounded child in her arms
the bird attacked her fiercely.
Miss Mcdowell would not retreat and
leave the child behind, so, standing over
her, she beat off the attacks of the bird
as best she could. The eagle was now
furious. 1t whirled about and dashed,
beak and talonS extended, at the brave
girl, who beat it off again and again and
again with her arms. The beak and
talons wounded Miss Mcdowell severe
ly, and as she did not have a weapon
she was unable to retaliate with effect.
With gashes on her arms, head and
shoulders, she was rapidly losing
strength, when she thought of her hat
pin. Grasping this firmly, she made
repeated stabs at the bird. which, de-
spite it's wounds, persisted in the at
tack. Finally, DIS her strength was
about gone, she managed to grasp the
bird by the neck, and with one fortu-
nate thrust sent the needle through the
head of the bird, killing it. Then, over
come by her wounds, she fell uncon-
scious across the body of her terrible
antagonist.
Little Nettie, badly wounded though
she was, made her way to her home, a
short distance away, and told her par
ents that "a good lady saved me from a
bad bird at tho creek" While Mrs.
Hinkle attended to her child's wounds,
Mr.. Hinkle hurried along the creek and
soon came to the scene of the fight. He
carried the still unconscious young
woman to his home and sent for doc
tor. Miss Mcdowell soon recovered
consciousness and after her wounds
were dressed was driven home. She
will be able to be about in a couple of
weeks.
