Laid them exceedingly serviceable as
chair covers on sweeping day., To
make -them more convenient, sew up
the slits in the covers which were
-used for armholes, and remove the
hoods. Then see what a protection
it is from the dust, which, however
carefully a broom, is used, is sure to
lodge uponall upholstered furniture.
In the case ol a large easy chair,
which for some reason it may be in-
convenient -to remove from the room
during the sweeping process, this
rubber cover will prove a boon. Or-
dinarily it may be carelessly thrown
over the back, arms and seat; but
in case it may be found necessary ,to
reinove the chair to a sunny piazza
or porch during cleaning time, this
cover pinned securely around it will
proteet it from either ram or sun-
shine, as the case may be.
Another advantage which seelt
cover has over a shawl or other
woolen covering is that dust does
not cling to it, but a slight shako

An interestieg example of the fact
that it is never too late to learn has
recently occurred in Belgium. At
the State School of Horticulture at

of age, and that .age implies. in his
case at least, no disability ie shown

The strangest village in tho world
is utdoubtedly the little hamlet of
Jatte, near Culoz, in France, not
far from the Italian frostier, where
dwell about 200- deformed men wo-

WORN FOR CLEANLINESS.
7'Wool is one of the least desirable
substances ot which to make under
wear. 'Underwear is worn for clean
liness, not for warmth, and (be wool-
en garment is one of the learnt clean-
ly when it is worn next to the skin.
The wool fibre has a microscopic
vale which after a time becomes
clogged with dirt; as a garment it is
difficult to Wash the shirt at all, and
after a few WaShings it thickenin-
to a veritable felt, 'which stops all
Ventilntion of tbe body through it,
and at the best any woolen under-
wear is an irritation to the skin.
"Medicine is not an exact science,
and it is never possible to lay ont
a rule by which all persons may con-
duct themselves. But, there is much
truth in the philosophy of the In-
dian who was questioned by his
white brother as to why the Indian
in his scant dress did eot die of the
cold. The red man pointed to the
naked face of bis questioner and then
to his own bare chest, with the ex -
alienation, 'Indian all face.' It was
siniply a suggestion to the white
man that tho more he coddled him-
self with wraps and wearing apparel
the more lie might expect to have to
do.
'One may observe in the average
wonian. just how heredity and present
customs have made her ebnost im-
mune to cold as compared to men. In
these sharp autumn days you may
see women wearing the thinnest of
shirt waists, with perhaps no other
protection for the arms and throat;
an.d yet when ,men have their' own
light coats turned up at the collar
with the chill these women have their
jackets on their arms. This is the
result of years of the custom of
wearing gowns cut without sleeves
and low in the neck. For genera-
tions these styles of dress have been
popular with ; the women, and
through wearing them they have be -
to inured to the cold in greet
measure.
