Rules for Health.

Never go to bed with your feet sticking out of the window, particularly when it to raining or freezing. Never etand in therein cistern all night. It checks preapiration, and spoils rain water for washing purposes. . „ Never spank your children with abend saw, or box their ears with the sharp edge of a hatchet, as it to apt to affect the brain. ‘ More than three pigs’ feet and half a mince-pie eaten at midnight, will not cause the consumer to dream ot paradise, accommodating bankers, and other good things; at least they are not apt to do sa To enlarge the muscles of the arms and lege, eltmWng up aad down too chimney (especially If the house te a four-storied one) throe or four times before breakfast, is a cheap exercise, and gives a voracious Earache in children te a common and vexatious complaint. To cure it at once, bore a hole in the tympanum with a gimlet and pour in oil and things. If the child keeps on crying, bore it all the way to the other ear. Corns may be easily cared. The moot torturing corns can at once be extirpated as follows: Take a sharp knife, and find the Joint of the toe whereupon the corn resides; insert the knife in toe articulation, cut off the too and throw it away. It will never return again, unless your dog brings it back to you in hte mouth. (Patent applied for.) , • The habit of drinking can be cured by giving the drinkers all toe liquor they want to drink all toe time. We know ot two in our own experience who were cured in three weeks. One jumped out ot the fourth story window and ran a curbstone into hte head. The other didn’t get up one morning, and has now a curbstone growing over his head in the graveyard.
