Wc consider ourselves patt of an age
that, if it is net altogether freed fiem su
perstition, is fast shaking off the shackles,
without wc hope any detriment te rclicicm
belief ; and wc leek back with wonder and
contempt at these creatures whose minds
were of the order that made them dupes
of Cornelius Agrippa, of Nostradamus, of
Cagliobtre, and of the whole horde of men
wise in the dark art. Yet iu spite of our
belongings and our contempt, and because
this is the year of 1881, the majority of
newspapers published iu the English lan
guage have felt that their readers had a
right te see some portion of Mether Ship Ship
ten's prophecy, aud have given it te them
generously.
Indeed, se mauy various scraps of this
precious document have been printed at
one time aud another that if one should
put them together it would take almost
as many years as Mether Shipton lived in
order te read them ; and we cannot help
thinking that ingenious penny-a-liners
nave supplied verstclcs te the geed danie
te help her out, with a neble disregard of
authenticity, and a discreet knowledge
that four hundred years and ever are likely
te render anything of a legendary charac
ter mere or less corrupt and incorrect any
way. It is a curious document, this old lady's
prophecy. But since one of the features
failed te fulfill in the year 1820 she hav
ing declared, it is said, that Londen streets
should be deluged in bleed when the
dragon of Bew church and the grasshop
per of the Royal Exchange should meet,
which event happened, without the ex
pected result, at a time when both of these
vanes lay together in a stone mason's yard
awaiting repairs since that time people
have net expected se much of Mether
Shipton as they once did.
'Around the world thoughts snail fly
In thctwlnkling of an eye ;
Water shall yet mere wonders no,
New strange, it shall be true,"
runs one of the quatrains in a copy that
may be as doubtful as all the rest, proph
esying after the fact:
"Through the hills man shall rlile,
And no horse or ass be at his side ;
Under waters men shall walk, ,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk."
runs another ; and although she skips the
telephone and the phonograph and the
photephonc, phe winds up with something
having rather a special interest te our own
generation :
Fire and water shall wonders de,
England shall admit a Jew ;
And the world te an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one
There is many a simple soul sitting by
country lircstdcs these wintry nights,
reared in a grewsemc faith which puts
heaven chiefly in the attitude of the angry
and outraged avenger, te whom these
lines have had a vague terror of possibility.
They are people who were taught in
childhood te expect the end of the world,
te whom then a peculiarly bright moon
light spread the earth with ghastly corpse
color that foreboded nothing else, te whom
a easterly storm seemed something that
net improbably might have no close, and
in whose quaking nightmare dreams a
day of judgment was a prominent factor.
They would perhaps be ashamed te tell
you, but ever since they heard of Mether
Shipton's name they have secretly felt
that they should be a little glad when 1881
was ever and done with.
Nothing te them docs the word of sci
ence signify, no notion comes into their
heads as te the inconsistency of beginning
such a universe simply te destroy it be be be
fere bringing it te completion ; they are
only blindly concerned iu their own fate
in such a contingency, and they are watch
ing the weather signs this year as they
never did. before. Wee betide them if this
winter a brighter aurora whitens the
North than usual, or sends up mere crim
son banners aud fiery lances te the zenith !
Wee betide them if a cold spell come,
where long stay of the mercury below
zero suggests the horrible negation of
death ! Wee betide them if the sprjng
rains are copious enough te fill the brooks
and make freshets in the rivers with
visions of another deluge ! Wee betide
them if August or November gives them
such a star shower as was known in 1833 !
Frem all these things dreadful portents
arise, and they will net really knew tran
quil security again till the old year has
beeu rung out and 1882 rung in.
It is true that some of these old proph
ecies are very remarkable, and, if tradition
may be trusted, have often beeu singularly
verified and why net Mether Shipton's?
It is true that nobody knows what might
happen if some stray comet should come
along, with a force of its own equal te the
undoing of the creative purposes, and send
our planet spinning away from the sun.
It is true that, according te our present
knowledge, it seems as if the material
world must come te an end at some time
when the sun ceases te gire light and
heat why net this year as well as that
year ? Wc can net pretend le answer the
conundrum, but we can at least give the
goedadvico comprised in the oyster sa
loon's sign, Nitnquam non paralut.. And
we might even feel warranted by the grav
ity of the situation in declaring that it be
hooves all these that regard the rear as
doubtful and.omineus te put themselves
en their best behavior, that tbey may, at
any rate, all the mere suitably enjoy, the
surprise in store for them when they
awake and find the world still jogging
along in the dawn of 1882.
CeM Feet.
Londen Lancet.
It is, as we have often labored te" show,
a mistake te suppose there is any warmth
in clothes. Animal heat is the direct re
sult of changes going en within the body
itseJLf. Nutrition by feed and the discharge
of energy by exercise are the efficient
causes of heat. Clethes "seem" geed
and warm because they prevent the 'cold
air and objects with a capacity for heat
which surround the body from attracting
the beat generated within its organism.
The clothing is simply an insulator. It
fellows that it should be light in weight,
and above all things that it should permit
the free and full circulation of bleed
through every part of the system te the
end of every finger aud tee and that
the muscular apparatus of the extremities
should be in perfect working order. If we
will wear feet coverings, whether beets or
stockings, which compress the feet and
render the separate'actien of each tee im
possible, it is simply absurd te expect te
be warm-footed. Heat is the complement
of work and nutrition, and if a part of the
organism is se bound that it cannot work,
and its supply of feed is limited, it must
be cold. The resort te stouter and heavier
clothing under such circumstances is sim
ply ridiculous. Generally it is the stook steok stoek
ings that compress the feet. The garter
acts as a ligature, and diminishes the
bleed supply, while the stocking itself acts
as a bandage, and impedes the circulation
through the extremities.
Taking Celd.
Cenes' Field Ornithology.
There is an old saying ' When the air
cemes through a hole, say your prayers te
save your soul ;" and I should think al
most anyone could get a " cold " with a
spoonful of water, or the wrist held te a
key hole. Singular as it may seem, sud
den warming when cold is mere dangerous
than the reverse ; everyone has noticed
hew seen the handkerchief is required en
entering a heated room en a cold day.
Frest bite is an extreme illustration of
this. As the Irishman said, ou picking
himself up, it was net the fall, but stop step
ping se suddenly that hurt him. It is net
the lowering of thu tctnpcratuic te the
fi cezing point, but its subsequent elevation,
that devitalizes the tissue. . This is why
rubbing with snow, or bathing in cold
water, is required torcsteic safely a frozen
part ; the arrested circulation must be very
gradually re-established, or inflammation,
perhaps mortification, ensues. Gen
eral precautions against taking cold are al
most self-evident iu this light. There is
ordinarily little, if any, danger te be ap
prehended from wet clothes, se long as
excrcise is kept up, for the " glow ' ' about
compensates for the extra cooling by evap
oration. Ner is a complete drenching
mere likely te be injurious than wetting of
one part. But never sit still wet, and in
changing, ltibthe body dry. There is a
general tendency, springing from fatigue,
indolence or indifference, te neglect damp
feet; that is te say, te dry them by the
fire ; but this process is tedious and uncer
tain. I would say especially, off with the
muddy beets and sodden socks at once
dry stockings after a hunt, may make just
the difference of your being able te go out
again or never. Take care never te check
perspiration ; during this process the body
is in a somewhat critical condition, and a
sudden arrest of the function may result
disastrously eveu fatally. One part of
the business of perspiration is te equalize
bodily temperature, and it must net be
interfered with. The secret of much that
is te be said about bathing, when heated,
lies here. A person overheated, panting
it may be, with throbbing temples and a
dry skin, is in danger, partly because the
natural cooling by evaporation from the
skin is denied, and this condition is some
times net far from a ' 'sunstroke." Under
these circumstances, a person of fairly
geed constitution may plunge into the
water with impunity even with benefit.
But if the body be already cooling by
sweating, rapid abstraction of heat from
the surface may cause internal congestion,
never unattended with danger. Drinking
ice water offers a somewhat paiallel case ;
even en steeping te drink at a brook,
when flushed with heat, it is well te bathe
the face and hands first, and te taste the
water before a full draught.
Hew te Hang Thermometers.
"Old Weathercock" writes te the St.
Paul Pioneer Press : "There seem te be se
many erroneous notices among the many
amateur meteorologists of the city about
tbe minimum temperature of the twenty
four hours, aud bow te obtain it correctly,
that a few Hues from an 'old weathercock,'
I trust, will net be altogether lest. In the
first place, then, the temperature of the
wall of any building, at any hour of the
night or day, is net thu true tempera
ture of the circulating air and is
of no use te science. A weed
wall wall radiates its heat mere rapidly
than a brick or a stone, and the amateur
scientist who hangs his thermometer en a'
weed wall can force his mercury down be
low the amateur who selects a brick wall.
The proper way te expose your thermem
eter is te surround it with a light woedl
frame covered witu slats, like shutter
work, and reefed ever. This will protect
it from the direct rays of the sun and re
flected heat. Run a light weed bir across
the centre of your instrument shelter, te
which you can attach thermometers,
which should be, when properly exposed
en the north side of the building, and the
thermometer at least one feet from all
objects. If these directions are followed,
erroneous reports of extreme cold weather

It is net a very funny thing for the press

New Tear in New Yerk.
Hewaid in Philadelphia Times.
Yeung men in dress coats and white
cravats have made things lively in Getham.
What an abused custom this New Year's
calling is become. Fifty years age when
the up-town limit of the city was Canal
street and when green fields and cow pas
tures extended from the city hall park up
and onto Harlem creek, everybody knew
everybody else, and a day's calling could
be made leisurely and comfortably. The
geed old Knickerbockers enjoyed life, and
a signal part of social delight was this
habit of which I write. Te-day this
is all changed. Sensible people ignore
literal physical calling and utilize the
mails by which te send their cards
as courteous indications of remembrance
en the first day of the year. With the
exception of a few pleasant family calls
the entire system has fallen into the hands
of young men, a majority of whom have
most limited circles of acquaintance.
These cheerful members of the community,
having purchased or hired dress coats.
peel their lists and go from house toheuso J
in groups. Aside from the transparent
felly of wearing evening dress in the
morning, and the utter unfriendliness of
calling en ladies they never saw or heard
of, is their absolute ignorance of all that
the custom implies or means. Their sole
idea seems te be te make out a long list.
The exchange of courteous desire
and the extension of mere than
a perfunctory wish of the com
pliments of tbe season never enter
their "minds." With blue lips, red
noses and white cravats tbey rush' into a
parlor, bob te one and another, giggle and
rash out. I think the women are quite as
absurd as the men. A custom has grown
up of late years which seems te me most
reprehensible. Ladies intending te receive
send their cards te all their acquaintances
and often te men they don't knew at all.
Yeung ladies are anxious tehavemaay
calls, and in their eagerness forget te be
prudent, thus opening their deer te people
it may net be se easy te be rid of. Ia
ether days- it was the universal habit te
spread a generous table. New a table of
any kind is the exception, bat I regret te
say that wine and liquors are offered very
freely. The effects, it stands te reasea, en
giddy-pated youths must be disastrous.
Frezen te Death Near Their Hemes.
Twe old negrees, Lida and Henry Slangh.
ter, mother and son, were found frozen te
death six miles from Booneville, Me.
Henry was lying in the read about 100
yards from his house and his mother sit
ting at the fireless hearth at home. There
was plenty of weed in the yard and a geed
stock of previsions and clothing in the
house. The ceuple were old and sick,
Henry being sixty and bis mother said te
be ever one hundred years old, and both
were nearly helpless.
Jehn Bell, aged aiieut sixty years, a
night watchman in Slack's stocking fac
tory. Trenten, was found frozen te death
in a shed attached te the premises, early
Saturday morning. It is supposed that he
was prostrated by a fit and thus met with
his untimely end.
In Virginia cattle have been lest, also,
by exposure, and game frozen. Deer have
been caught near dwellings in the coun
try, forced by severe cold and want of
feed.
