helping one anlother, we not only
remove thorns'roni the pathway,

we feel a sonse of pleasure in our

it duty to a fellow-creature. A
helping hand or an encouraging
word is no loss to us, yet it is a

What 'strength is inspired-what

is dissolved as dew' beneath the

very cold, and the system at the
same time be suffering from heat
and fatigue, very serious results
are apt to occur from the sudden
shock. Water should always be
drank slowly. By sipping, the
desire for drink is more effectually
gratified, and any desirable quan
tity at any temperature may be
drank Without injurious effects.
Ice water in Summer is not objec.
tionable if taken in this way.
Water should not be drank at or
soon after meals, as it interferes
with the pro ess of digestion.
KEEP COOL.
"It is easy to say so," says one,
"but how are you going to do it,
this hot weather ?" I will tel]
you. The clothing should be light
and loose, and of suen a character
that the air can readily pass
through it. It ahould be changed
often. Clothing wvorn through
the day should not be worn at
night. The entire body should b'e
bathed overy day so 'as to keep the
p ores open and the skin clean.
Perspiration should not be checked,
but encouraged, if one does not
perspire easily. Perspiration noe
ecessitates evaporation, and evapor
ation cools.
DIET, E4TC.
Eat sparingly, and avoid every
thing of a heating, stimulating, 01'
irri tating character, as sal ts, splces,
condiments, sweets, fats, tea, cof
fee, tobacco; alchoholic drinks, &c.
The diet should consist principall3
or entirely of fruits, berries and
vegetables. The only proper drink
is water. .Especially avoid eat

food Is one of the principal causes

man'y'duringhot weather'. Keep
a clean conscience as well as a
clean skin and r+man clothing, and
don't got excited. If uncomforta
bly warm at any time, immerse
the hands and feet In co1ld water,
or let a stream of cold water run
upon the wvrists or ankles for a
short time, or hold a pice of ice
in the hands. This will soon cool

take your stand on the side of

that "Drunkards are commonly

HINTS TO COTTON PLANTERS.--If
you can benefit any of your many
pubecribors, by inserting the en
closed hints to cotton planters,
please to do so. It is not kiown
to u,very cotton planter, to what
extent the cotton plant can be
improved. I will give my ex.
perience.

I bought of Mr. David Diickson

ing the cotton, but found it very
hard, or rather out of' my power
to kee p it pure, until I fell upon
the plan of' thinning the cotton
after it mquaredl, and before it
bloomed. I selected every boll
every year with my own fingers,
and yet would get some impure or
mongrel stalks, until I thinned as
above-taking care to pull up the
poorly squared stalks. I need
not attempt to describe how
susceptible of' improvement the
cotton plant is. Suffico it to say,
I am satisfied I improve on it
every year. I pick from the best
ptalks the choicest bolls--having
respect at the same time, to those
with most lint, and pre'ferring
those with small white seed.
Perhaps some one may tell ua
through the Cultivator next fall,
how to increase the lint and re
duce the wclght of the seed. If
