0 -EASY TO PRESERVE HEALTH Immunity From Disease May Be Ao- ; quired by Exercise of Care and Proper Living. Perfect health is the best possible I immunity from disease. Millions of germs are hreathed in with everyI breath we take, but their injurious effect, is nullified so long as tht itealth is good. Many of the gerrr.e so taken are necessary for health, others would he disease breeders if they fell upon the proper soil. The habit of deep breathing that the blood may be purified with the oxygen thus obtained, at the same time keeping the bowels open, with such ' articles of diet as contribute to the manufacture of good red blood, will go a long way toward making a person immune from ordinary diseases. When an epidemic is around the ( persons first affected are those with debilitated blood; otherwise every-; body would go down together. So little is necessary for the production of good, healthy blood that there is little excuse for any person having! anything else, und with such a; litrmiiiv cuijuiuoo mere is lite augiit> eat profiSbintt buy of the di/tea^h.*-that are to frequent; ftp' some *^mmuni Hen.

And being-of a poetical turn he came io the decision that the only way to pay hoT proper attention wag to sere* nade her. the more especially because lie was somewhat in awe of the very businesslike, rod-faced, quizzical father. whom he would have to encounter if he commenced by calling the custom a rv way. So, unlikely at it may seem, be practiced up on his college mandolin end began the series of song recitals. 1 hev were received with even more enthusiasm than he could have hoped. Every night there was gentle applause, and occasionally a flower flew out of the window. The lady never showed her face, hut the young man approved her delicate reserve. The serenading went on for some weeks. The young woman did not speak of it when they met. although he fancied he read her appreciation in her face. And at last de decided time (Uracil the subject and bring matters to a head, and he began gently. But the lady stared at him in blank surprise, and then she hurst into peals of unseemly mirth.

S. Hugol in'Our Dumb Animals. The steady drip from the ho*e soon made a wet place on the ground and I came one morning and found a well-developed mudhole about six inches square, which appeared to have been made by a dog or a chicken, and as I stood wondering what could have made it a couple of robins came circling around my j head, scolding very saucily. 1 retreated to a place behind a pear; tree and watched". One went directly j to the muddy place and began wallowing very much like a hen in au ash bin, gradually working the mud into a ball under her feet, when she ran her bill through the center of; it and flew awav to her neat. The j other robin did like the first, and i many times during the day I saw them carrying mud with which to cement their nest. It was a very dry season, there were no mud puddles iu the streets, and (lie drip from our refrigerator, instead of being wasted, helped these little feathered friends to build their home.
