DOMESTIO. BREATHE TizsoEOU TIts NOSIC.-In Pold weather the roundabout cours' of the air through the narrow nostrils, warms It som6what before It strikes the larynx, whose surpassing delicacy ot cozstruction renders it peculiarly liable to harm. Many a case of in flamed tonsils, laynx, or lungs, is duo to breathing through the mouth and not through the nose. The beat medi cal authorities now assures us that the serious harm which so often results from nasal catarria, iseaused, not by vny "dropping" of diseased muous, frQm the head, but by the simple fact, that the usual passages being swollen and partially closed, the person breathes only through the mouth. Wh mover the air is loadied with in foe ton-la sick roois; in the open air, during the prevalence of epidem los, in malnrial districts, espeni tily at night, when the sytein is especially Lible to be affieted, in the a .rs an I all crowded gatherings, for we never know when ihre are infected persons present-thxe rule should be observed, to breathe through the nose. Perions who do so are less likely to take dis e tse. The morbid particles are quiLe likely to lodge on the moist sides of the nasal passages, and thence to be washedout. When the air ts loadt d with dust-when sweeping rooins, beating carpets, sifting ashes, shovel Ing coal, facing e.otids of dust in the street, tilling iron and other metals as a business, and wordtig in various kinds of inills-it Is exceedingly in, purtatnt that the rule be observed. O.e should train himseif to sleep witlh closed mouth. For this purpose, lie should avoid lying on his back, iI which posture the mouth Is imuch more likely to open thau in any other podl bion of the body. Tue datagcr is in creabed by .the mouth becoming dry, and thus less able to arrest, tlie parch clas of dust or any luating 1iasins. LXAF rloroGRAiI.-A simple and eleetivo method of taking leaf photos is as follows: Procure a few cents worth of bi-chromcate of potash, with which make a saturated solution. Pour some of the clar liquid into a shallow dish and ioi it float a piece of letter paper till it is tioroughly and evenly moistened, placing It in the dark to dry, whein it should appear of a bright yellow color. On this place the fern or any other kind of leaf desired; under it, a piece of sofb black cloth and some folds of newanaper. Place this between two panes of glass anti secure with clamps (spring clothes pins will answer). Expose to a bright glaring sunshine; with the rays fall Ing as nearly in a perpendieular as possible. it will soon belin to turn brown, ard, ini a few hours, a perfect 1111d dark impression will be obtained, when it may be removed from the raime and placed iII clear water,whleh must be change I every few minutes, till the yellw piits b cones perfet t'y white. bometlines the figures % I I be perfect every vein and mark distinct; and these phiotograplis are most in teresaung and bountiflul when collect eet in a book.

To KBE1V Hb.--Thereare a num ber of modea given q keep barns through the *warm seastn free from tho attacks of inseots. Some bag them and whitewash the bags, which is troubl some and somewhat expensive; suome cover them with dry wood ashea and pack them in barrels; some pack them in barrels and cover thoroughly with pine shavings, but we think the best plan of all,'and certainly the least expensive with all who have a smoke house and every farmer should have a good one, Is to keep the hams hung up in the smokehouse, which should be kept perfectly dark at all times. We have eaten hams so kept two years, and they were athong the very beat we ever tasted. Uniform dark ness is a complete protection against the attacks of insects. [Battle Crook, (Mioh.)

It has also been used in my family for sone ttine, and has never been found to fail in giving urompt relief. In 'a paper recently read before the French Academy of Sciences, Prof Fort gave some startling instances of the iflicacy of artificial respiration. A three year-old chilid had apparently died, and was conialdered as having passed over to the majority for three and a hlif hours. At the end of that time Prof. Fort set up artificial res piration and kept up the process for tour hours, when the child returned to life. A person had been under water for 10 niinute, and was evidently drowned. Dr. Fournol, of Billancourt, however, after four hours of labor, managed to mako natural sucoced arti ficial breathing, and so reaninated his patient. In some instances artificial respiration will be found of great eill oacy in removing poisoi from the lungs and glands. In any c-se of as phyxia hope should not be abandoned until hours of trial ot'artitielal respira tion gives no encouraging iesult.

Our only aim has been to publish the fnest card yet shown. -Applications tor them have come in so rapidly that nearly the whole edition Is engaged before the receipt by us of the cards from the artist. We have therefore been obliged to adopt the.following plan for the dis tribution of the remainder: No more of the gilt Shakspeare cards, seven in the series, will be sent excepting upon the receipt of a statement from a grocer that the person applying for the eards has bought of him on that day at least seven bars of Dobbins' Electrio Soap, with price paid for same. Al apply ing in this manner will receive the Iull set of seven cards grate by mail. This will insure us that our friends and pa trons get their share of these beautiful designs, although it In np manner re pays us for the cost of the cards. Your grocer has the soap or will get It, and the purchase by you of seiren bars of it at one time will secure for you gratis seven really beautiful cards. The soap improves with age, and is an article of necessity in your house every week. Therefore you are not asked to buy a useless article, but one that you must have anyway. Please send us your appliation at once, and tell your lady friends making "Card Collections," to do the same. (rocers do ?iot have the cards to deliver.
