Comfort from Newspapers. Many years ago, in one of the severe winters when there was much hardship among the poor, a city paper suggested that old newspapers, spread over the bed, would form an excellent substitute for blankets and coverlets. This brought upon the journal a great deal of harmless ridicule from other papers, but it brought comfort to many a poor family. In the matter of bed-clothing, especially, we are apt to associate warmth with weight, and do not consider that there is no warmth in the coverings themselves, but that they merely prevent the heat of the body from passing off. Whatever is a poor conductor of heat will make a warm covering. Paper itself is a poor conductor, but still poorer are the thin layers of air that are confined when two or three newspapers are laid upon one another. A few newspapers laid over the bed will keep one much warmer than some of the heavy, close-woven blankets. We do not propose newspapers as a substitute for blankets and comforters, but it is one of those make-shifts that it is well to know. In traveling one may, by the aid of a few papers, secure a comfortable rest in a thinly-clad bed, and if we cannot afford to give a destitute family a blanket |or a comforter, we may Show them how to increase the usefulness of their thin coverings by stitching a few layers of newspapers between them. It may be well to remind those who grow window-plants that, by removing them away from the window, and arranging a cover of newspapers over them, they may be preserved from harm in severely cold nights. With the plants, as with ourselves, it is not so much that cold comes in as that the heat goes off, and often a slight protection will prevent the escape of heat.—Americon Agriculturist. To Forget Misery. Some great writer has written, “The way to forget our miseries is to remember our mercies.” That is splendid in theory, but it is the hardest thing in the world to practice. When a person is perfectly miserable, it is impossible to forget it, and to go to work and try to think of some mercy that has been enjoyed at another time, is simply impossible. The misery of the present knocks all thoughts of the mercy of the past out of the mind of the miserable person, and misery gets in its work. It is well to try and cultivate that idea of forgetting miseries, by remembering mercies, and may be it will work a little, but most people w-ho try it will score a failure, and be more miserable than ever. The best way to forget miseries is to go fishing. If you get a bite you can forget the misery till you land the fish, and if you don’t get a bite you can’t be any more miserable unless you fall out of 'the boat. If you get lots of bites it will be nip and tuck between misery and fun.— Georae Peck.
