KEEPING WARM.
SOME SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES AND FACTS PLAINLY STATED.
PRACTICAL LESION* THKY TKACH.
I.Hiring the Whiter months, over most of this country and the whole northern hemisphere, a larger proportion of the time, effort, and expense of all classes is devoted to keeping warm—a much larger proportion than one would suppose without some thought on the subject. Fuel is only one item fourfold clothing and bedding as compared with summer, warmer dwellings and largely increased fowl supplies are to be reckoned in. A valuable and interesting article appears in the American Agriculturist. It says there are some scientific principles involved, so simple that all may comprehend them, an underseanding of which will be of practical advantage. They apply to all warm-blooded land animals, mr.n included, 98!»°
The bodies of all hutftau beings are so constituted that while some parts may be temporarily benumbed with cold without danger, the blood that circulates through the heart and through the system generally, must be maintained uniformly at just about 08K° of temperature (98,•-4°" Fahrenheit, or 37° centigrade). If the heat of the blood rises or falls only 6 or 7 degrees from the normal point, and continues so, fatal results are expected. Every degree that disease elevates the goneral internal heat above 100° is a rapid appioach towards the danger point, and when only 105° is reached, the most skillful efforts of physicians are usually needed to save life. On the contrary, even in the coldest regions where the thermometer marks 00° or 70°, or more below the freezing point, the internal heat must lie kept up, and if it falls only *98° to 94° or 93°, and continues
from *98° to #4 thus, tiiere is great danger that the wheels of life will stop.. (Theae are general statements, applicable to a healthy condition. Cases have been reported whore in tetanus or lockjaw the temperature rose to nearly 111°, while in asihtaa it sunk to 78°, and in cholera to 67°.)
DJEVK LOPING HEAT.
The natural processor maintaining the •uniformity of blood temperature is a anost interesting study, of decided practical utility to every one. Whatever the nature of heat, its relations to electricity, to mechanical and chemical force, its various methods of production or exhibition, etc., we all know some of its effects, and soino methods of securing its manifestation. We know it may apparently exist in an invisible or inactive form that in a cold room witli cold wood or coal and cold matches, we can dovelop intense heat that ice water poured upon ioo cold unsiacked lime will droducen scalding temperature that beating cold iron with a c»ld hammer will sensibly warm it that simply rubbing two cold nieces of wood togethor, makes them hot that electricity from a cold battery sent tn rough a fine wire or a film of charcoal, will produce tho intense heat that gives the electric light. So chemical •or mechanical, or eletrical action, develops heat that was boforo latent, or insensible, or that existed in another form,
HOW IIBAT IS IUKh'l'SEI).
We know also that heat is radicated, that is, it flies out in straight lines, as from afire or the sun we can feel the heat strike us. Theso heat rays can be bent like light rays, by interposing a reflecting surlaco in their path to or their direction. lleat Is also (tarried af freight, so to speak, as when air takes it from a stove and carries it to the top of a room, or from a hearth fire out of the chimney when water particles carry it from the bottom to the top of a kettle" set over the lire.
etiange
Hent is also conducted or passed along from one b.xlv to another, and also from one particle another in the same substance. Hold one end or side of a piece of metal to a lire, and tho nearest particle* of metal will take in heat, ami pass it to the next particles, and these to the next, and so on until the heat is conducted a long distance. Hut experience and experiments show that different, substances differ very greatly in their ability to thus wondiiet heat through them. Thisisa matter of much practical importance, as we shall see. Iron, for example, conducts heat freely and rapidly through itself wood and glass feebly and slowly. Air conducts very little heat through its substance, though it allows raoiated beat (in straight linos) to pass freely and if the air particles are free to move, they carry heat from one point to another, usually upward, but horizontally when moving thus, is in wind currents.
HOW HRAT IS PRODUCED.
The external, artificial heat used for maintaining the warmth of our bodies, beyond what comes from tho sun, or from air currents, is mainly derived from chemical action in burning wood or coal. One-tifth of air (of its weight) is a gas called oxygen. Nine-tenths of water is oxygen. In theair the oxvg« is simp ly mixed with another gas (nitrogen) and very readily leaves it. In water the oxygen is strongly united or com bin •od'wUh another substance (hydrogen) which it will not readily leave. So, while the fro«oxygen of the airuicreases a tire, the oxygen is tied up in twe water, and water extinguishes a tire by shutting out free air oxygen.
Coal, hard or soft, is mainly a substance called carbon. Diamouds art pure carbon in a crystal form. Almost all substances that'grow in plant form, and all kinds of flesh, are largely made up of this carbon. It wo put under cover (to shut out air) wood, straw, grain, Hour, vegetables, fruits, or any kind of ilesb, as lean or fat meat, or almost any thing used for food, and apply strong heat, we drive off a good deal of water in the form of vapor, and a little of some •other substances, and we hare a mass of nearly pure carbon or charcoal left—in balk usually as 2an?e as the original substance heated. This is seen in changing wood into charcoal under a covering of «arth, where a little air is admitted at the bottoms to buru just enough of the wood to beat »r char tho rest. The same would hapjxvn to masses of our common food put in place of part of the wood. If too much
we admit too air, the charcoal it«elf will disappear. Charcoal gives a hotter fire than wood, because this preliminary heating has removed the other substances that in turning to vapor and gases absorb and carry off a great deal of keat.
SOMK PROPKRTIBa OP HKAT. Other preliminary' items. Sensible or active heat seems to combine with some sabstsnces and disappear, If the air in a room should suddenly expand to fill two rooms, some heat would disappear, and the expanded air would feel much colder. If we candense the air suddenly into a much smaller space, it will give up heat that was before insensible. If we put a piece of tinder in the closed end of a gun barrel, and with a close' fitting ram-rod quickly condense the air upou the tinder, it will give out so much heat as to set the tinder on fire.
If one pint of water be changed to hot or cold vapor, the vapor will take up and conceal nearly 1,000 degress of heart, or degrees of heat, or heat enough to raise 5XA pints ^f water from freezing (32°) to boiling (212°). (If this heat was not concealed, or did not disappear, the clouds, which are cold water vapor, would be much hotter thai? melted lead.) This heat is similarly concealed, whether the water turns into visible steam at 212°, or passes off cold invinsible vapor in the air, or in the visible vapor of fogs and clouds. The
Eot
oint is, that the evaporation of water, or cold, invariably produces lower temperature by concealing and oarrying away a great amount of heat
We can keep water, milk, etc., cool and render them colder, by wrapping the jug, pitcher, or other containing vessel with cloth and keeping this moistened. The evaporation going on carries off heat If the vessel be tmn porcelain or earthen ware or metal, the heat will pass out wardly to the evaporating surface more readily. Damp or wet clothing, for the same reason, quickly oools the body and
{nducea
roduces
chilliness, and is very lik cold, especially if not uniform
ly damp, as we explained under "Catching Cold," last month. One point more. When air is warmed it has the power of holding concealed an increased amount of water in the form invisible vapor and when cooledit gives out this water again in a visible form. There is frequently more water in the air above us on a hot, clear summer day, than on other dark, cloudy, or rainy ones. In the latter case a cold air wave, or other can.se, has reduced the tempera ture of the air above us it has less capacity for concealed moisture, and gives it up the moisture thus set at liberty condenses into visible clouds, and if the uniting of these little water globules be continued, they become too heavy to float in the air and fall as rain drops. Heating tbeairin a room makes it hide
water it becomes hungry for more and extracts it from the skin and from our lungs we feel parched and disagreeable. Lesson: always keep plenty of evaporating water surface in any and every room warmed by stove, furnace, or in any way.
A FIRM IN TUX BLOOD.
When the oxygen of the air unites with the carbon of hard coal or charcoal, or of wood, or of flour, meat, or of any other food, a compouua is formed, viz., a gas, which we cull Carbonic Acid. The process of forming this compound sets at liberty heat which was before entirely concealed, or which existed in an another form, and when coal or wood is burned rapidly we have a hot fire. The same process goes on when wood rots away, but the heat is developed so slowly that we do not notice it.
Precisely the same thing is taking place in the human body all the lime. The food we eat and digest, is in part absorbed into the blood, and carried by it everywhere throughout the body. Hut at the same time the blood passing through the lungs is constantly picking up oxygen thore from the air which we broatlie into the lungs, and this, too, goes all through the body, and at millions of points one carbon atom of the food is uniting with two atoms oxygen from the air, forming carbonic acid, and setting heat at liberty, precisely the same as takes place in burning wood or coal in the stove. There is only a small product of heat at anyone point in the blood, but it takes place at so many points that there is enough developed to keep up the general temperature. And a wouderful provision it is, that without our supervision, or knowledge even, this ever burning fire goes on within us, just so as to keep the whole body at about 98°. (We speak onlv of the main source of auimal heat. Tnere are other combinations going on in the body, which produce nioro or less heat, such is the ion of hydrogen from food with oxygon, which escapes as water the union of minuto quantities of sulphur and of phosphorus with oxygen, etc. Most probably »ioro or less heat is also derived from the mechanical movements of the various organs.)
If the supply of food fails in the blood for a time, from fasting or sickness, then the oxygen in the blood attacks any stored-up fuel, as fat, flesh and other or gans of tho body, using their carbon to koep up the over-necessary warmth. The weight of tho body grows less, and when no "more fat or ilesh can bo found to make heat, cold and death come on. The same result follows if the lungs become so diseased as not to furnish the air supplying oxygen fast enough to keep up tho internal tire. Stop the entrance of air for a f$w miuutes by closing the windpipe with a cord, or by filling the lungs with water, and heat-production stops in the blood, the temperature falls below 93°, and the human macninery ceases to work.
The carbonic add produced is poisonous. In the stove it escapes through the pipe. That fortaod in the blood is carried to the lungs and thrown out into the air. Too many persons breathing in a close room fill it with so much carbonic acid that it becomes very unhealthful, if not dangerous.
The blood carries the heat to the surface of the body, as wall as to all other parts, and a good deal of heat escapes off into the air. If the air is cold this esea" is more rapid, and more heat must produced within to supply the waste. That menus more fuel, that is more food, or more ilesh is consumed. Remember that the blood must be kept up to about 88°. Of course, then, in cold weather more food is necessary or the body becomes emaciated. But anything that stops escape of beat from the surface of the bodv, saves food, or saves using up flesh. Warm clothing, warm air, warm dwellings, warm stables, warm sheds, all help to stop this waste of heat.
KURTHKIt PRACTICAL LESSONS. As to domestic animals, is not the above a positive proof that sheltering animals from cold weather, from chilling winds which by their rapid motions carry offbeat more rapidly, is the way to •ave food and to save waste of flesh? If by stopping this waste of heat from the surface all the food consumed will not be wanted to make heat, a portion of it can go to increasing the flesh, that is, to producing growth, or more can be •used in making milk, eggs, etc., within the animal.
Dyspeptic persons, those having feeble digestion or a poor appetite, get less internal heat from food combustion, and suffer from cold. Such persons need a warmer atmosphere, or warmer dwellings, and warmer clothing te retain the beat that fa produced. This applies to all animals.
Close-fitting garments, garters, lacing, boots, shoes, neckties, etc., that prevent free, easy circulation of the blood, each
and all diminish the aaaounl produced, and its Uniform Exercise promotes^ more rapj tion of the blood ana mci dnation.

We stated above that evaporation of water carries off much heat. Rubbing wet horses and other animals dry is very .useful not only to save beat, but also to save taking cold. For the same reason any damp garments should be replaced with dry ones as soon as possible, or enough covering may be added to prevent chilliness from evaporation.
Free perspiration (sweating) in "hot weather carries off a large amount of heat, and keeps down the temperature. If perspiration be checked, sponging with water aids in cases of sun-stroke or depression from heat. Persons have gone into hot ovens unharmed bvencas ing themselves in moistened garments, the evaporation keeping down the beat about the body. Green wood, besides its inconvenience, is very unprofitable. A large amount of heat which the dry portions would yield, its lost by being qSfried off in the evaporation of the sap. So of any wet or damp fuel of any kind. COIFPINED AIR I PROTECTION AGAINST
As confined air is a poor conductor of heat, all fabrics that are porous, that is, full of little interstices, tubes, or holes filled with air, are the best protectors to keep heat from escaping from the surface of the body. A loosely-woven garmentor bed coverlid is warmer than a compact, firmly-woven one, because the air in the texture of the former conducts away heat less rapidly than the more solid ones. Loose-fitting garments are warmer than close-fitting ones, fur reasons above given, and also because the air space between them and the skin is a non-conductor of heat.
Stone, brick, or wooden walls with perpendicular air spaces in tbem, are warmer than solid walls, because the air conducts heat away less than the solid materials. A sheathing of tarred paper, or pasteboard, or of any thick paper even, placed midway between the clapboarding and the plastering, to form two thin air-chambers instead of one, adds greatly to the warmth of a house or other building. Two half-inch boards, set a little apart to leave an air-space between, makes afar warmer house-wall th^iij the samo thickness of wood in inch boards.
A layer of loose straw put between the wall and the earth banking-up of a cellar, adds much to the warmth, on account of the air in the meshes of the straw. 1 he samo is true in covering apples or roots to be left out in heaps during Wiater.
Double glass windows are much warmer than single glass, because of the nonconducting film of air between, go of double doors.
Moving air both carries off heat faster of itself, and also increases evaporation, thus very largely diminishing the temperature. A very small crack in a window, under or over, or by the side of a door or sash, or elsewhere, produces a draft that requires much extra fuel to counteract the effects.
SUDDEN changes of the weather often cause Pulmonary, Brochial, and Asthmatic troubles, "Brown's Bronchial Troches" will allay irritation which induces coughing, oftentimes giving ima re 4

A pitiable twnd interesting case was

an
sent
to prison for two years for stealing. He was suffering from consumption when received. The poor fellow lay in his cot. He was undoubtedly in the last stages of his disease, and had an intelligent face find a good brow. He was apparently about thirty years of age. The Warden stepped slowly up to his cot. "Well, McCarty, almost through?" the Warden asked in a quiet way. ''Yes, Wardeu, this is tho last day I'm out to-morrow," MeCarty replied, his voice scarcely above a whisper. "How are you feeliug?" "Oh, I'm stronger." "What are you going to do?" "God qnly knows, Warden, I've got $15 left. But how long will that keep mo? I suppose I must go to New York. If somebody only knew of my case and would give me $f to help me on to Phil ndelphia I could do something thare. God knows I don't want to be driven to stealing again." He spoke with broken breath, almost gasping out parts of his spcech. "Are you stroug enough to go?" the Warden asked. "Yes, I'm going. My legs are heavy, and they wont work very well, but I'm going. If I only had an overcoat to protect me from the cold. I'm afraid of the raw air. Do you think, Warden," he asked, appealingly, "that there might be an old overcoat lying around that I could have?" "Don't give yourself any trouble about that, Mcdarty. I'll see you are fixed out with everything you want." "Thank you, Warden thank you."
A bright light shone in McCarty's eyes. He was evidently thinking of the morrow. "So, then," the Warden said again to McCarty, as he moved away, "you are bound to go to-morrow?" "Yee, Wardefl. Only let me get outside the walls, outside"the walls." McCarty
left smiling at the thought of
"only getting outsido the walls." "Poor fellow," exclaimed the Warden when he had moved away. "I'm afraid be won't ever get outside the walls alive. Stronger? He's growing weaker and weaker. It's strange what a facination it has for him to get outside the walls."
McCarty bad not a friend in the world, nor was there any one to take any interest in him.

"For ten weeks my sister and I nursed oar father (the late judge) constant!y day slid night, she losing one-half and I the other lot each night. I took the Oxyge* regularly twice a day, and though feeble and much exhausted did not have any symptoms of the fever while my sister who did not use the Oxygen at all, took the fever and died.

CLARA LOUISE KELLOQQ'S MAID Globe-Democrat. Recently, at Milan, Tenn., when the train which was bringing Clara Louise Kellogg and her concert troupe to Memphis stopped for dinnor, the party entered the hotel to take advantage of the twonty minutes allowed for refreshments. First came Mr. I'ond, the busi iless manager, who was followed by Miss Kellogg and her colored maid. Mr, Pond and Miss Kellogg seated themselves at the table, and the maid was about following suit, when Mr. Miller, tho proprietor, stepped forward and in formed tho lady of color that separate tables wore reserved for servants. Miss Kellogg at once became very indignant, ,and demanded that her maid should be permitted to eat with her. She claimed that ber maid had traveled with her all over the country, and this was tho first instance where any objection had been raised on accoant of her color. If the maid was not permitted to sit at the same table, Mr. Miller was informed, the whole party would leave the diningroom. This argument was a clincher, and the meal was served witbeut further objection on the part of the proprietor.

A GOOD BREAKFAST NECESSARY IN WINTER. Food and Health. The breakfast we take in Winter will determine our efficiency for work in the day, and will so influence our whole being for that period of time that no after meal can correct it. The breakfast in Winter must contain more nitrogenous food than in Summer it is absolutely needed. You must store heat to furnish material for absorption and for maintaining vitality add to this nitrogenous food something that will disengage beat from the blood and keep in temperature, and yon may defy the coldest day. Your face may feel it, but your body will be impervious to it and go on disengaging that inward heat which can alone stand against the lower temperature without. If this first meal has been properly attended to we may presume that the vital action can be maintained in full for five hours at least before it seeds replenisb-

WASTE OF VITALITY. PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
IOUGHT OR TWO FOR MIDDLBAQED LADIES.
Harper's Bazar.
If we come to reflect upon it* in middle age we find that the one great cause of departure from the ideal in real life is our.liability to take cold. Almost all our pleasures are bound up with this probability, for when wo have taken cold we are too stupid either to give or enjoy pleasure. And there is no philosophy connected with colds. Serious illness are full of instruction and resignation, but who thinks of being resigned to a cold, or of making a profitable use of it? "Chilly" is a word that of late years has come to bo a frequent and pitiably significant one on the lips of the mid-dle-aged. They have a terror of the frost and snow which they once enjoyed so keenly, and they really suffer much more than they will allow themselves to confess.
The most invigorating and inspiriting of all climates is 64 degrees, but if the glass fall to SO degrees, chilly people are miserable they feel* draughts everywhere, especially on the face, and very likely the first symptoms of a neuralgic attack. At 40 degrees—which must have been the in-door VVinter temperature of our forefathers—they become irritable and shivery, and lose all anergy. If the temperature fall below 30 degrees, they "take cold," and exhibit all the mental inertia and many of the physical symptoms of influenza, which nevertheless has not attacked them.
Let us at once admit a truth: the young and robust despise the chilly for
physical Pharisees are always recom mending the "roughing" ancj "hardening" process, and they would gladly revive for the poor invalid the cold water torture of the past.
Without being conscious of it, they are cruel. Chilly people are not made better by the unsympathetic remarks of those of quicker blood. There is no good in assuring them that the cold is healthy and seasonable. They feel keenly the half-joking imputation of "cosseting" though perhaps they are too inert and miserable to defend themselves.
Strong walking exercise is the remedy always proposed. Many cannot take it. Others make a laudable effort to follow the prescription, and perhaps during it feel aglow of warmth to which in the house—though the house is thoroughly warmed—they are strangers. But naif an hour after they return home the tide of life has receded again, and they are as chilly and nervous as before.
Nevertheless, they have passed through an experience which, if they would consider it, indicates their relief, if not their cure. While out-of-doors they thought it necessary to cover their feet with warm hosiery and thick boots, the head with bonnet and veil, their hands with gloves and a fur muff, their body with some fur or wadded garment half ap inch thick. In short, when they went out they imitated Nature, and protected themselves as she does animals.
But just as soon as they return home they uncover their head and hands, replace the warm, heavy clothing of the feet with some of a more elegant but far colder quality, and take off altogether the thick warm garments worn out of doors. A boar that should follow the same course when it went homo to its snug subterranean den would naturally enough die of some pulmonary disease. Nations which are subjected to*long and severe Winters have learned the more natural and excellent way. The Laplander keeps on his fur, the Russian his wadded garment, the Tartar his sheepskin, the Sbetlander goes about his house in his wadmal. It isonly in our high state of civilization that men and women divest themselves of half their clothing with the thermometor below zero, and then run to the fire to warm their. freezing bauds and feet.
HOW HE 8PARE1) THE LIFK Of AN OLD FRIEND.
Indianapolis Sentiue'.
During the war a man caught violating a military law at Memphis was doomed by a court-martial to suffer the extreme penalty. The sentence had been approved by Gen. Hurlbert, then in command. The time appointed for execution was but three days off, when a little woman, throbbing like a wild bird in the hands of its captor, arrived in Washington, with a letter to Congressman oorhees. She was the daughter of tho man standing in the shadow of death. Her mission was to see tho President. Mr. Voorhees, deeply moved by the woman's story and distress, suffered scarcely a moment to elapse before call-" ing with heron Senator Hendricks. The plan that hastily suggested itself to him was to have the two Senators from Indiana, of whom the lato Henry S. Lano was senior, conduct the woman pleading for her father's lite, to Mr. Lincoln. The three presented themselves to Mr. Lane, who, after making some preparations to join the escort, asked: "What is the charge against your father?" "Heattempted to carry quinine to the eneny." ««RC *?. CMO,"answered Mr. Lane, "the verdict is oo.-rect, and I cannot interfere."
Hope seemed to part from the woman, and she looked as if she was in the awful presence ef death. At this point Mrs. Lane entered the room. '*It. will not £?''!,8^hat
lady» add"*wing
her hus-
tond "this woman has come to see the President, and it is your duty to conduct her." He surrendered, took a deep interest, and the party started for the Executive Mansion, where it was at once admitted, and found Mr. Lincoln disengaged.
Mr. Hendricks, who only remembered the lady as "a little woman," introduced1 her, but she, having never seen a President before, seemed to have lost the power of speech. "You will, perhaps, remember her father. He once lived in Springfield." "Yes." answered Mr. Lincoln, "I remember him well. OH one occasion a farmer came to my office and taking me for that gentleman, insisted,'You must come out and preach again next Sunday. Your last sermon did great good, and was thought the best we ever heard.' I rather liked being thought a Methodist preacher, and did not break tho delusion. Oh, yes, I remember him well, and there was some resemblance between us." "She brings you terrible news from that man today. He is to be shot!" "To be shot?" Hero Mr. Hendricks wished the little woman to speak, but she was involuntarily dumb. "She brings a statement of the case to you, I believe."
Taking the five closely written pages of foolscap, Mr. Lincoln settled back into the chair, and, folding his legs in the manner that has so often been described, proceeded to read it aloud, but to nimself. The reading was a study of the case. For some minutes he must have forgotton the Government, the army, apd everything, so completely was he absorbed in the paper. This concluded, he looked up and around the room, when his eyes, falling on tho little woman, rested for a moment. Soon he spoke:
Your father shall not be shot!" The great weight and agony theso words lifted from the little woman and the exression of gladness that beamed from or face, liko a June morning when the world looks as though there never had been a war and that it contained no grave, no pencil could depict. "1 guess," continued Mr. Lincoln,
then he proceeded to write the message. This was slow, careful work, but concluding it he said: "I reckon that will do." In response to a bell a secretary appeared. "Take this message," said Mr. Lincoln in the commanding tone of a President, "and send it quickly remain at the office until it gets through see that it is answered and that I am informed." Thus briefly was this duty mado obligatory upon the secretary, and the executive mind was at rest! Mr. Hendricks has forgotten what became of the other people, but he remembers, after having risen to depart, of reseating himself and the talk that for some moments followed. Mr. Lincoln laughed about thearticle of quinine, and did not think taking it across the lines an offonse meriting death. He knew tho country about Memphis it was malarial, anil life without quinine was almost impossible. Ho thought it hardly proper to put down tho rebellion by giving people over to an ague.
