Care el the Skin.
Dr. J. C. Dunn delivered an in
tereetingf lecture on the skin. He,
aya the Pittsbtrrg Dtspafceh, first
entered into a long and careful de
scription of the skin, with its many
lifferent and interesting parts; say
ing that the skin was a complete
envelops enclosing the body. "We
are not only-covered, but literally
lined with skin. It is impossible for
one to be in perfect health an j have
the skin diseased. The skin is 1
divided into three parts, and these
parts are again subdivided into many
parts. If it were not for the outer
layer of the skin, very movement in

would give us exquisits pain.
jx is a wen snown iact tnat it is
unsafe to sit or stand in a draught
or current of air. The Idanzer lies
n the fact that the movement o( the
air over the surface favors radiation
of heat and the process of evarw
atiou, especially if it be rapid, t-nd
to lower the temperature with great
rapidity. II we nave been perspir
mg the danger is greater, because
the capillary vessels of the skin art
relaxed aud distended with blood.

to the cooling process is much great

the warmer congestion is the first
stage of mnamation of these organs.
way is it tnat drunken men so
often freeze to death I can sn
swer this by saying that under the
primary influence of alcohol the
heart s action is increased, blood is
thrown to the surface, giving to the
user a warm, comfortable feeling, but
this feeling is fatal to the rapid ra
diation of the heat from the body,
producing, congestion. Theretore,
don't drink to keep warm.
It is not safe to drink to keep
cool, as the same dilation of the ca-
pilaries takes place in the brain that
takes place on tbe skin. I The blood
is thrown there in undue quantity,
but in the brain it is not exposed to
atmospheric air as it is in the skin
there m no chance for radiation. The
blood thrown back from tbe surface
only tends more to oppress the brain
and favors tbe fatal stroke.
The persistent use of cosmetics
obstructs- the free action of the
glands and produces many dissases
and disorders. !
Bathing is an important point in
the care of tbe skin and body. The
b-st bath is cold water, bat as many
cannot be ome used to it. the best
substitute is a sponge bath. The
body should be sponged quickly and
then rubbed with a rough towel. In

Everybody, excepting the people
who write on the subject for the
newspapers, fcsows that the old and
important question: "How much
does it cost a man to dress?''
as difficult to answer as the equally
old and less important one, "How
big is a piece of chalk?" It costs
maa just as muo& tar almost as little
as he chooses to spend on his cloth
ing, ana on tnat proposition haoga
an interesting story. Twentv vears
ago the average city man who felt
obliged - to i appear well dressed,
would " Seldom buy clothing at
a "ready-made clothing store." His
garment, at least bis "fotW ones,
were invariably -made to order. To
day many welt-dressed men buy
all or nearly all their garments ready
made.
The art of outting is a? carefully
studied aCd practiced in the facto
ries now" aV it is in any of the tailors
establishments when fancy prices are
paid by tne the customer for individ
ual attention. Naturally, alio, there
have been some improvements in
what may be called the mechanics of
the trade, such as the cutting of
numerous thicknesses of cloth at
once with a circular knife, run like a
circular saw, by steam or electric
power, but these aie of comparative
ly little importance, since, after all,
band labor is necessary for the most
of the work in making clothes, and
individual skill is the main factor in
the production.
While it is true that a man on t'ie
same amount of money can dress
much better than formerly it is also
true that he can dress as well as hi
did formerly on much less money
and the smallness of the sum now
required to fit a man with a complete
suit of coat, vest, trousers and over
coat is most amazing to those who
have not studied the question. It is
difficult to establish grades in tit
nhnite variety in which men drets.
but it may be done approximately.
and for the sake of illustration I will
suppose four cases. The first is
man of comfortable means who goes
into "society," dines occasionally at
fashionable restaurant and is a 1
'first-nighter," but who ecouomiz js
very time be can without sacrificing
appearances. He may drees so that
is clothes may never be noticed by I
. v. i
any one (which is said to be the true
test of good tast) on very little
money, ms evening suit win cos'
him from $28 to $35; bis business
suit will cost from $20 to $25, and
his morning dress suit, or Prince
Albert, will cost $24 to $28. These
clothes, it is understood, will tr, him
as well and will last as long or nanny
as long as if m.de to ordr by a
firbt-class tailor. His uvorcoats will
cost, say $20 for the light one and
bout $25 lor the heavy one.
The difference between tbe ex
pense of dressing in this case and in
the next one. wbicb is tnat ot a narp
working clerk, who is compelled to
make a small salary go as far as pos
sible, is that the first man will dupli
cate his suits oftener, and hve a
greater variety. The latter may buy
a trifle cheaper if he chooses, but 1 e
can maintain an excellent appearance
by wearing clothes wbiah will cost
him as follows: A goor1 business
suit will cost htm from $15 to $18;
his "Sunday suit" will cost from $20
to $22, and bis light overcoat wunld
be about $15, while bis "winter
coat would batwo or' three dollars
more in price.
The third case supposed is that of
fairly well-to-do mechanic, who
wears his working cloths ordinarily,
but wants a "best suit', for "Sund-
days, high day s.bolidays and bon-fire
nights He may buy working
suits for $12 to $14, and "best suits."
or from $17 to $20.
The fouith case is that of a poor
devil who has no income and no reg
ular employment, who is forced to
be content with the cheapest gai-
ments that will keep him warm and
preseivehim from tbe appeaiaoce ot
a tramp. Mis clothes will not iaBt
ong, but he can buy tnem lor very
little. An overcoat that, with care,
will last a winter and keep him from
suffering may be had for $2, though
he may, if he is in luck, spend as
much as $10, and a full suit of coat.
vest and trousers, of approximate nt,
for anything he likes or is able to
pay over $5.
These prices, tnat tne iasi-naiucu
. i . .
man pays, seem preposterous, uui
they are the figures at which very
many people buy their clotniug.
How long the clothes will last de
pend on the wear they get.

Tbe Care of Poultry in Winter.
u A tbe winter draws near and the
provident farmer prepares food for
his cattle, sheep and other live stock
it will be well for him also to take ia
to consideration the wants - of the
poultry. By looking around the
little remnanta of seeds and grain
can" be put aside for their use, as f r
instance "the Yead from the sorghum
stalks, this "scattered corn gathered
up rrom tbe floor of the' corn cnb be
fore the new crop is housed, and the
trashy wheat mixed with dust Snd

During the cold weather as much
of the food should be given to them
warm as possible; even the milk for
them to drink should be warmed.
Last winter the cook make dough
of skim milk for the fowls. The milk
was brought to a boiling point, the n
thickened with corn-meal. It is need
less to say that this dish was mo
highly appreciated. Corn was also
boiled for them, and wheat, partly
because it is more wholesome and,
partly from economic reasons, the
gram by swelling to twice its size
goes twice as far. Boiled wheat
tbe best food for fowls that we have
ever tried; still, the greater variety
tbe better. We give them some-
1 thing of nearly everything on tbe
piaoe. . ine norses are made to con
tribute sbhle .of tbeir shelled oat;
the cows, a bag of wheat bran now
and then, a small portion of their
ground oats, shipstuff, or whetever is
in season. It is an excellent iJea to
mix a little cottonseed meal with the
soft food about every other day.
One pint to a mess for one hundred

cotton seed meal is very rich.
his, by the way, deepens ihe color
of the yolks of tbe ergs. I know of
one farmer who raised alarge crop
of black -eyed peas for his fowls on
held that was too poor to bring
anything else. It is a good idea to
boil tbe peas with the corn or the
wheat, and tbf fowls show tbeir ap
preciation by eating the peas first.

When fowls ate not sufficiently pro-
tected to prevent their combs and
feet from becoming frosted, cot only
is their appearance considerably dis
figured, but suffering is so intense,
the hens become poor and the suppl?
of eggs is diminished. - Many per
sons think fowls are healthier to
roost above an earthen floor, but
where a good many are kept in one
house it seems to me it would be
difficult to keep the floor clean; be
cau?e of its absorbent qualities,it soon
becomes very impure. My best hen
house has a good tight floor high
enough from tbe ground for the air
to circulate freely beneath it, and so
smooth that it can be scraped clean .

together with tbe rooeting-poles and
nest-boxes, a good thick coat of

seems necesary; when we have a j

thrown away and a layer of refuse
tabacco placed in the bottom of the
boxet with only a sufficient quantity
of cle n etraw or hay put above it to
make a soft nest. Since this plan
baa been adopted the fowls have not
been troubled with insects, and have
been remarkably healthy. Lime,
crashed egg shells and bone meal
are placed in accessible places; and
thus finding all their natural wants
provided for, chickens are not apt to
contract the bad habit of eatiDg
their own eggs, or plucking out each

.Early Marriage a Failure.
In summing up tbe marriage con
troversy, orr which it received 27,000
communications, the London Dailv
Telegran says
'The concensus of
the letters is overwhelmingly strong
against early marriages. Our law,
ought, we think, to forbid marriages
of young men nnder 21 and to youn
women under 19. Among the
working classes especially tbis would
produce, we believe, an excellent el
fect. Then, also, it is clear to our
mind that the law of divorce must be
enlarged to permit of dissolution of
marriage for dissertion, for lunacy,
for confirmed inebriety, for convic
tion of disgraceful crimes, as likewise
for established incompatibility of
temper and temperament, such as a
just ond prudent Judge would ad

Indian Curiosities.
Your correspondent while in
Richmond, Va., had the pleasure of
personallv viewing the private col
lection of Indian implements, skele
tons, etc., which is tbe property of
Mr. Mann S. Valentine. Its extent
may be imagined when it is stated
tbat it embraces no fewer than 200,
000 objects, Dearly all collected in
Western North Carolina, by the
patient labor of two of '!Mr. Yalen
tine's sons. I company with Mr.
G. Watson James, one Of the editors
of the Dispatch, a gentlhman of
much culture, who iu matters of
archaeology is admirably informed,
tbis immense collection was care
fully inspected. No State has" such
a collection, and perhaps not a
score of people in North Carolina
know of tbe existance of this one,
the result of years of labor and the
unstinted use of money. There are
80,000 arrow heads alona. The ob
jects show all the range of Indian
life. No less than forty-five Indian
monni8, some 100 feet in length,
were opened. Some perfect skele
tons were secured arti are now ex-
exhibited. Two spacious rooms are
filled with such objects all shown
with special taste. It is to be re
gretted that North Carolina does not
possess such a collection, which is
vastly more complete than that of
the Smithsonian Institution. The
Objects were tken'from five or six
countie?, mainly Cherokee, Jackson
and Swain. That field has been
thoroughly worked by the Messrs.
Valentine. The collection of pot
tery, both of early and lut9 periods,
is a special feature.
One remarkable partin of this
great exhibit is devoted to objects
carvea in steatite, i uese were fo
cured in 1880. or thereaboutti, by
the Messrs, Valentine, from eorue
mountain peoplv. About them there
is and has been much surmise
and controveisy. Sffiie clcimtft
people have made them iu the lat
four years. There nre all sors of
figure0, those of men and animals
predominating, and tome are so wll
and boldly designed as to show
much taste. They do not appear to
be modern, least of all do they appear
to be the work of te raountaiueeia.
The men who brought them to th"
Messrs. Valentine did not reveal the
places whence they were taken. The
material used is a sof-, gray ston-,

A great favorite with our grand
mothers was the le7non lily, with its
starry odorous Hoovers. Taen it
seemed to lose p-estige, and was
relegated to the roadside, bnt it ia
now restored to favor and offered to
the public uud-'r ita botanical name,
hemer calis, or the golden lily, and
is a most desirable perennial It is
really one of t ie loveliest of the
early summer flowers; graceful in
shape, of exquisite color and rich
odor, it beautifies the lawn with i' s
golden blooms, and is especia'ly
adapted to a situation where a mass
of color is desired. The clump of
lance-like leaves, so vividly g'een, is
ronamental even when the blossom

Cob- Heal.
Some years ago there was a raging
war carried on inv the newspapers
about the value of "cob-meal." tbat
is, the corn and cob ground together.
Scientific men took the dry cib,
pulverized it and then analyzed ' it
to discover that it contained no nu
triment to speik of; and counting
tbe cost of grinding they pronoun
ced it a waste of time and labor.
The other side had only their exper
perieuce to offer, but the a lop ion of
cob-mal got a black eye until some
one suggested that perhaps the ebb
part of the meal had something to
do with giving the ga-itric juice of
the stomach a chance to put its good
work by mecv anically hclciing tbe
the particles of corn raeal apart, so
that this juice could get nt thn m)iJ
Then the managers of some of some
of the m st progressive xpe iineut
8tat:ous decided to giv t't m i tr a
practical tesf, an 1 coh-meil came

well doubt that she has some good
reason for all the chewing she doe
on tbat o'd cob. r
Now, that the utility of co' -meal
is settled iu its favor, is a good time
to stu iy the subject of how best to
utilize this important product. We
have seen many a farmer put in a
rainy day with a sharp batcuet cut
ting tbe corn into short pieces, while
others use a spade. Others a ak the
corn for several days in barrels of
water to sofcen it before cutting.
The better plaD, however, is to grind
the corn and cob together. It is
still a question with many feeders if
the meal is not better for not being
ground too fine, aud this m kes a
great saving io the l.bor of grinding
In helping animala to digest their
food we bc onetime overdo the mat

them, and it may be that in grinding
very fine we tend . to clog the machin

by causing the -meal to form in small
balls, when it sbouldTetain its gran
