The advantages of woolen under clothing, besides its wtmth, and the closeness of it application, depend np on its bctlcr adaption in respect of tem p-rat uro to the requirements of cli mates and to changes of season thau auy other material for dress. It also has a Riecial faculty for absorbing and distributing moisture that makes it particularly salutatary next to a per spiring skin. A linen arment will ab sorb the products of transudation till it if wet and becomes sticky upon a moist and clammy skin, while flannel will rest upon a skiu which it has marly dried, anil be only damp itself. Hence, the body wearing flannel is in the beat condition to resist the after-chills that follow great perspiration. The irrita tion caused by flannel, which is brought up as an objection against it, U an ac companiment only of new flannels an J coarse ones, and is generally a merely trancieut condition.

A medical authority says if any one wishes to grow fleshy, a pint of milk.on retiring at iiight, will soon cover the scrawniest bones. Ahho.igh we see a goid many flesbjr persons nowadays there are a good many lata and lank ones, too, who sigh for the fashionable measure, ofpl limpness, and who would be vastly improved in health aud ap pearauce could their flesh be rounded with good solid flesh. Not!i: 113 is mora coveted by a thin woman than a full figure, and nothing will arouso the ire and provoke the scandal of the "cli per build" as the consciousness of plumpness in a rival. In the case of fever and summer complaint milk is now given with excellent results. Tho idea that milk is feverish has exploded, aud Is 'now the physiciaus aid In bring ing through typhoid feve polk-nts, or those iu tK low a state to be nourishorl by sJiii food. It U a mistule to skrimp the milk pitcher. Take more milk and buy less meat. From the Frying Pan to the Fire.
