Advli to tho Man Who Is Always Dosing Himself with Drue Something About Underclothing--Ba4 and Feet Negli gence, of ladke. The great secret of unvarying health is, before everything, to hove a body in a high tat of vtimr. and once havimr that to krtn it There Is lese wisdom in studying the wavs 01 curing an allrne frame tban in in vine vour attention to those of obtaining a hardy one that never becomes ailing. A proper physique sheds iain. aches, disorders, illnesses, dis eases and epidemics as a duck does water, and I nables its owner to laugh at doctors' bills. ! It confers npon its possessor happiness amid the heaviest misfortunes, and gives the surest promise of longevity. To obtain it, have some regular business that will give you an interest ia Uf and make you alive all over, without overworking you; shun care and worry; lie systematic in your habits; avoid dissipation; sleep enough; eat plain, whole some food, the best of its kind; and, above 11. devote yourself methodically to some athletic pursuit, such as will give you exercise J5ji rouniX and spend all the time you can in the open air. Then forget you have a body that can by any possibility get out of order, and never think of your health. COMMITTING 8AXTT ART SIN. Wo find people who commit well nigh every sanitary and hygienic sin. They eat un healthy food at irregular and unseasonable hours; they work too hard and worry too mcb; they pass their lives within doors, in enniawa rooms, Bitvp with tightly closed Shadows, and fear a puff of pure air as they t k ould the breath of contagion; exercise they iXJBone. Perhaps they do not dissipate have not superfluous vigor enough for They are eternally "coddling' them f oaTnd doing all they can to become deli ftlaJJ? t?"ier. They are always ailing and apr'1,1S witn 801116 druS- If they have they take thls to give them one; 'hat towTTTeat'n 100 much, they swallow aW. T. the bad effects.

Undoubt- -r they have convinced themselves tray tlflve me chronic and serious disorder, and for this they are under the care of a phvsirian. But one thing further is needed to make them utterly miserable, and that is to be come devourers of indiscriminate medical literature. With their habits, and in the state of mind which those habits must inev ital ly produce, that alone would cause them to imagine themselves affiicted with "all the ills th.it flesh is heir to." Every disease they find described they are sure they have, until, in fancy, they become a mass of ailment uch as. if it should occur in reality Would constitute a monstrosity in the annals of medical science. If they have Hot gone too far, all they need is to live properly, stop dosiug, forget their ailments," and then join a gymnaium, buy or hire and ride a saddle horse, or a bicycle, take long walks every day and otherwise ex ercise wisely, and they will be what they nave never iteen since they were children, healthy, and, as a consequence, happy. "Leave off your winter clothes late In the spring, and put them on early iu the au tumn.'1 This is a very old injunction, and in some respects it is wise, while mothers there Terse. If, following it literally, a person in late autuniu puts ou hi thickest winter flan nels and calls into service his heaviest over coat, he is sure to suffer in eonsiequenee be fore warm weather comes airain. ery many people iu this way make themselves what is popularly termed tender unusually susceptible to cold and hence, are fre quently ailing during the winter. THIS, MEDIL'M AND THICK. Every one should have for wear at least three sets of underclothing the thin, me dium and thick that the change may be gradual. Now is the time for underclothing of medium thickness. As for overcoats, they should not be heavv in late autumn while there will yet be warm days, when one would swelter in a thick coat, and if once ac customed to it, there would bo very great danger in lenving it off. For woil men of sedentary pursuits, who can waik to and from their work, it would be far better if they were dressed a trifle light; so they would feel slightly chilly on first going into the open air. Walking would &xn warm them up, and the discomfort felt woald en courage thit essential exercise, which is most enjoyable nt this season. "Keep th-head e-ml and the f-t warm." Hery is ant-th-r antique health saying. To keep the feet warm is certainly au essential to health, but about having the head cool in winter is a matter of discuwiou. The head certainly should be comfortably covered. Probal'iy the iterby hat, so popular, would te a sulJU'ient protectiuu, even m midwinter, for thitse men who walk much, or whose work is largely indoors. For car drivers and others, win are much exposed to fierce winds, thick, warm hat or caps are ntisoiuteiy needed. Thev might wear fur caps, but men whoare not ciiTLstantly forced to encounter such hardships us they certainly do not need head eoverings of fur and are infinitely beH ter without them; tor there are many days in winter when they are uncomfortable, keep the head to warm, and hence are productive of colds. Every one knows thnt, when the feet are not projierly protected, a cold is the common cons-qu-n-e. If the, had is lusufli ciently covered, the same n-suit is scarcely less ctrtain. At the present day, but few ladies pretend to cover their beads, even in winter the fashionable tonnet iB surely no protection. Much sickness among them is due. to that neglect, and where it occurs with cotton stockings and thin shoes and, therefore, cold feet it is surprising that so foolish a person lives through one of our hard winters. Among Shakers, and other classes of women who pretend to wear comfortable head cover ings, there is infinitely less sickness than among their fashionaMe sisters, and much of the immunity is clearly assignable t- this difference in dress. Heaven ha.ten the day when women will correct this most grievous fault of theirs and return to btds, or some thing like them, for winter wear. As for keeping'.the shoulders and upper part of the cbest amply protected from the cold, women know well its imortance to health, and nothing which can be written will influence them in the slightest degree. lioston Herald.

The MethmU Adopted hy an American. 1 nail u Iterated Degradation. During a residence in London extending, off and on," for a period of two years, I lodged surcewri vely on Red Lion square. Step ney, Drttry lane, at Nine Elms, Bishopsgate street, Canterbury street and the Camden road. These are localities from one to six miles apart. The render acquainted with London will observe that they are anything but farthiomil.le. (.If this when I took nj residence there I thought little. I should not choose such quarters again. But at that time my object was to nee London. Yon do not really ee a city by driving through it. London, with its fmir millions of people, is equivalent to half a dozen ordinary cities bunched into one. and it life in some quar ters has a marked difference from that in others. My plan was to engage a room for a week or two in the quar r I wanted to explore. Generally I was ineky an regarded the char acter of the people I Wlged with. Sometimes I was not. It was rather risky for a stranger to go poking about iu tin way, taking his chances among people he knew nuthing about and in quarters of the city where human degradation reached very near its lowest limit. But being entirely ignorant in this matter I never thought nf possible dangers, and am consequently only entitled to the rep utation of that bravery which comes of pure stupidity. Fur unadulterated degradat ion London ex ceeds any city 1 know of. Low, prowling, nocturnal life is in most cities conlincd to a certain quarter. In London you find It in spots from St. James park to far beyond the Bank, miles to the eastward. You find it above the Seven llial and you find it again on the Camden road, four niiles distant It is almost as plentiful at noonday as at night. The drunken woman is an everyday spectacle In some localities. In certain "courts" I have seen bags sitting in the sunshine to rows, ertner upon tTie curbs or propped up against tne house wall. Tueir life seems to have merged itself into one desire a constant craving for gin. As you pass they beg a penny to buy gin. There is nothing of them but dirt, rags and gin. A shilling for them is a day's fortune. A shilling in London will buy more food, shelter and gin than will a dollar in New York. These creatures, though plentiful, are quite harmless. They tempt one only to get away from them. They are too clumsy to be adroit thieves. They are only lumbering bales of humanity, who lum ber on a clear day out of their rookeries to the sidewalk in the morning and back again at nignt. How they live is a mystery. Yet the vilest of these courts and lanes is far cleaner swept than the average New York street Not a scrap of paper or any rubbish is to l seen. They do sweep the streets of London clean, and it is an equal dispensation of broom all around, high or low. Prentice Mulford in New York Star. Mineral Msuturcs of the South. It is mainly through the development of artificial manures that chemical skill has come to the aid of the farmer. The guano deposits found on oceanic islands in the re gions of scanty rain tall for a time afforded a means of restoring the most essential ma terials which cropping removes from the soil. These supplies wero made serviceable for some decades, but unhappily, though the store of guano was large, the demand was so groat that in a few years the material was exhausted. At this stage the laboratory gave its greatest contribution to agriculture by showing that certain minerals which exist in large quantities in manv lands afford ma terials by which, at relatively small cost, the plants may be supplied with potash, soda, and, what is more imiortnt, the rare ele ment, phosphorus. To the combined work of the geologist and chemist we owe this precious gift of mineral manures. It is searcely more than a score of years since they began to find a place in our agricultural processes. The Kouth Carolina deposits, which for more than a decade have been the principal source of supply, abounded in the fields and along the shores which had been tilled for a century, aud yet the valueof the material was not recognized until chemist, guided bv purelv scientific curiosity, undertook to determine what was the compo sition of the peculiar nodules which met his eye. At the present time iu this country alone the manufacture of artificial manures which have these phosphates for their most essential ingredient amounts to a value of more than $.HO,otWj NX) annually, and it is evident that the industry is but at its begin- umg. Professor N. S. One Way of Advert f Ring. I am not much of a grumbler about edi' torial Incompetency myself, but I wdl go so far, anyway, as to say that if I were the editor of "a great New York daily," there is one reform at least that 1 should start with a jump. The very first order I should issue would be to stop the free advertising of sec ond and third class actors and actresses by printing silly items nhout them in the news columns. This sort of tiling has gone so far iu New York as to e a nuisance. 1 run over nearly all the papers, one way or an other, and I find it everywhere. Paragraphs about actors and actresses appear almost daily. Their goings and comings are told, and where they have been and what they nave done, and if there is something "spicy' to tell of them, all the better. The smallest incident is magnified to the proportions of matter of importance. An actor buys a dog and be gets a big advertisement free gratis for nothing. An actress has a spat behind the scenes, or intimates that some actor has trifled with such affections as she may hap pen to r""sses.s, and it is written up m ex- tenso and promptly printed. New York Cor. Detroit Free Press. ropnlation of St. Petersburg. All the capitals of Europe save one are increasing in population, and that one, our readers Will be surprised to hear, is St. Peters burg. If Constantinople had shown a falling off onewoL.! not have wondered, but it is difficult to re all that the Russian capital has in seven years been reduced from fr5,000 to 42,rt)0 souls. So difficult is tha fact on realization, indeed, that the Russian authori ties refuse b realize it, and arrangements of the most stringent and comprehensive kind are now being organized for taking another census of St. Petersburg in December. Dur ing the last numbering of the people many families staed out all night to escape enum eration, so in Decern I ter a number of officials will be told off to deal with the people found in the streets. The latter will be stopped and enumerated there and then; the chances being that a eod manv of the citizens of the Russian capital will get put down twice over. But the czar is determined that his capital shall show a respectable increase in its num bers, and, of courso, his wishes must be carried out. London Public Opinion. Wall Street a Century Ago. A walk down Wail street in thoe davs of W2 years ago.just ten years after the Declar ation of Independence and one year before Washington was sworn in .is first president of the Cnitod State, would have been in structive and amusing to the millionaires and speculators who now make it their head quarters. It was not then the great money center and main factor in national finance that it now is, but only an unimportant side street leading d"wn to fashionnbld Hanover square, and inhabited by small shop keepers and tradesmen, many of whom hvt-d in more aristocratic portions of the city. The build ings were small and dark, of wood and Dutch brick, and many had small gardens in front. Then as now Trinity church looked down the street and told the easy going Jiew Yorkers the time of day, but it was a very different building from that which Old Trin ity now enjoys. New York Graphic. In "Dear Old Nantueket." Not many summers ago Robert CoUyer visited Nantucket and feil in love with tha island, as everybody does who goes there. Some little time afterward Dr. CoUyer met, when on a visit to Boston, a young lady whose acquaintance he had made at Nan tucket She rushed up to him and shook him by the band; ami while he returned the salutation as heartily, it was quite evident to her tbit he had forgotten her name and everything else about her except that he had met her at Nantucket. Continuing to shake her hand slowly, he looked at her with a queer expression, smiting, and warning to look through her face to the island lying away out at $ea. "Dear old Nantucket:" he said, with his musical deliberation of utter ance, "and yet they sav that people die and go from there to heaven." Boston Tran script Wliltt!r ami Hi Poem. To an Englishman who lately visited him, Mr. V hirtier expressed surprise that his guest should know so much of Ids poetry by neart. "i womler,' he said, '-thou shouldst burden thy memory with ail that rhyme. It is not well to have too much of it; better get rid of it as soon as possible. Why, I can't remember any of it. I once went to hoar wonderful orator and he wound up his speech with a poetical quotation, and 1 clapped with all my might. Some one touched me on the shoulder and said: 'Do you know who wrote thati" I said: 'No, 1 don't, but it's good.' It seems I had written it myself. The fault is, I have written far too much. I wish half of it was in the Red sea,'1 The Argonaut ISurdette as a Preacher. Mr. Robert J. Burdette, the genial humor ist, has been licensed to preach by the Bap tist church, to which he belongs.

The Man Who Lacks the Innate Sense of the Fitness and Vnfitneaa of Things A Woman's Admiration Familiar Speech. Clothes Beauty. I was lying in my hammock the other day by the way, I have it swung across a win dowed comer of my room these cool autumn like days lying there and thinking what the things were which women did specially like in men oi course i am writing uow ui u-e men and nice women and 1 came to the con clusion that the things which particularly infVuence us in our choice among men were the little things. Yes, the little things, the trifles. A man may be an Apollo for beauty, but if be says no, ma'am" and "yes, ma'am" to you when he should say "yes" and " no," adding your came when necessary, you cannot thoroughly appropriate him, and he will, for all his per fection of feature, grate upon your keen sense of well -b redness much as the squeak of some organs does when it mingles with the music. And though the man who wears diamond studs and pins and a diamond ring flashing on bis little finger may be possessed of all the virtues under heaven, yet do these mispiaced gems outshine them all m their glaring vulgar brilliancy. It isn t of course, the jewels themselves, intrinsically, any more than tt is the "me anr as a simple part of speech. It is the lack of that innate sense of the fitness and unfitness of things that dawn of discrimination, 1 would modestly christen it which all the sterling qualities and all the heroic characteristics taken to gether will never outweigh in the scale of truly refined woman's fancy. . THE MAS WHO WTX3. Ah, no it is the man who fails not as to little things who wins every time. The man who knows by instinct which side of the railway car or which end of the boat is the shady one, instead of gazing helplessly up and down to find out, whilst the other man secures the desirable seats. It is the man who mentally fixes the right station to get off at, and const-quently makes no wild plungings generally to retrace as he discov ers his mistake; the man who knows the cor rect entrance at a theatre and the portion of the bouse in which his seats are located; the man who can put on your wrap without turning It inside cut a few times first, who can get into his own topcoat minus the skir mish that causes him to appear as if wres tling with some intangible enemy it is this man, master of the Utile things of life who wins. The amount of it all is that a woman must adm re before she can love. In pomt of fact, a genuine admiration on either side may oftener be trusted as an insurance against an ultimate divor-e court thau many and many of the mad "fallings in love" of which we bear too much, and which are not inapt to guarantee as reckless a "falling out" again! If a woman feels insecure about a man is not quite positive whether he will do this, or that, quite correctly; whether he will be dressed as befits the occasion, or if he will be awkward at a moment when savoir faire seems almost a prime factor in being at all then be sure she is do more sure of her own heart, her own feelings, than she is of his possible behavior. It is weak of us, I will admit, but it is, and the more womanly pure, sweet and charming the woman, the more certainly is this desire to admire, to be sure of the man she gives herself to. a necessity of her nature and a keynote to her disposition and requirements. FAMILIARITY OV SPEECH. Another little thing that is intolerable in some men, otherwise nice enough, and that is the moment you permit them to know you at all well, that moment they develop that horrible trait or an aptitude for familiar in timacy of speech which no relation in life under heaven condones, or can long stand under the pressureof. Why. because two peo ple become engaged to each other, or are married to each other, they should at once drop the little attentions, the Utile po litenesses, the little respects for each other's privacy and individualities, I, for one, never could comprehend: for mv part I should think that these relations of life, in order to prevent them degenerating, as they too often do, into the mere conventionalities of an ac cepted code of society and morals, required the most gent !e deference to just these little things that 1 have ventured to enumerate. The closer the relations the more necessary the glamour, if you will to call it no, of mere well bredness ut is nothing else) to sustain them in their supremacy of a mutual afTec tion and reverence. There is another point upon which I must toueh in speaking of what we lice in men. H is simply, briefly, this clothes. I know that some of you will scout at the mere idea, tut that doesn't alter the case. I know and I atn in a position to speak. There isn't one bit of use iu denying it; not one particle. Jirls like to see a man, and be seen with one, too, who is Kruaitly gotten up, whose gar ments have the correct cut and air, just as rauh as men like to see and be seen with a mng woman who is attired in a charming, well fitting gown, pretty gloves, boots, hat t is human, girl nature, just precisely as it is human, man nature. And as to beauty! Trust me, all vou ugly fellows, we don't care that! about it in your fares. We are content to monopolize that ourselves. U you are only manly and brave and tender and nice we are prepared to adore you. "Miss Marigold- in Pittsburg Bulletin, What Sfun Pwt Lxmk I-ifce.
