Teach tiie children, when out of doors,
to keep tl-ir nioiitlis closed, and bread
through their nostrils. This prevents
the air-the temperature of which may
lie zero from striking directly on tl
tonsils and the larynx. As the nasal
passages are kept constantly wanned by
the breath from the heated lungs, the
inbreathed air is warmed as it pas
circuitously through tliem.
Children who are liable to inflammation
and swelling of tlie tonsils, or to troubles
of the ear, should wear hoods that come

such children, and so are bonnets, un

down over the sides of the head.
In our cities and large towns especi

on the stone door steps, which are often
ice-cold. This practice needs to 1

mother will readily see how dangerous
it is for her girls.
On returning from a cold walk or ride,
throw off all but tlie home clothing at

the temperature of the outside atmos
phere, and, if kept on, must absorb
much heat, which might otherwise come
to tlie wearer immediately.

All slippers for use in cold weather
should have extra inner soles, to lift the
feet from the cold floor and retain tlie
natural heat. Wliere nothing else can

board, and a thickness of woolen cloth
should be stitched on either side.
For women in the kitchen slippers
made of woolen uppers and thick felt
soles are desirable. Slippers are prefer

they faciliate the warming of the feet,

A Long Winded Orator.
Long speeches are common. In tlie
Georgia legislature, when the question

TheTichborne trial brought I r. Kene-
aley to the front with a speech run
ning through 140 days. But tliese speak
ers did not talk continuously. Adjourn

Sunday made their work easy.
The longest speech on record, says the
"hicago Times, is probably the one made
by Mr. Le Cosmos, a memlier of tlie leg
islature of British Columbia some time
ago. A bill was pending which, if pass
ed, would deprive many settlers of their
lands, and the temper of the majority
made it certain that it would pass. Tlie
