SPKAMNCi of the wcHtlu'r-rMlioi' is Klraujiv superstition that
fold weather is bnd weather. F.wryyertr thousands of people
run' away from .bow and ice, s if they represented llie plague.
But medical journals have different opinion. It seems that for
the normal healthA- lniinan beititf, cold weather is the grentcsr,
health tonic known. 1 Cold weather stimulates the system and euriehes
the blood. Kver' since the fur rvbed barbnriaus drovu out the Ko
iiiatis. the superior races have inhabited the north temperate tone, and
will continue to do so. . . ' . (
For the polf bujr. iioinn south in the winter extends the period of
recreation. Hut it doesn't extend the ability to play a hard round of

If you are an invalid,; a deerepid old man or an incubator baby. $ro
couth for the winter. If you are a person of average good heulth und
normal stamina, stay north and celebrate your hundredth birthday.
There is undoubtedly a basis of truth iu this contention. We have
no desire to injure business in Southern California, Palm lteach, or
the Kivicra, but ns a hint to the cold-footed pentry, hereabouts who
pre eomplaiuins because a touch of real w inter is with us, the infor
mation may be of value. . , . '
Too much cold, like too much heat, or too much meat, is hard on
the system. Hut a mild assortment of both, with no climatic element
entirely disregarded, is what is known ns a well balanced climatic
diet, one of the best guarantees of continued health and vigor
known.

.II, I have slippers, farrey-sewed, and slippers preen and gray,
and slippers come to my abode on every Christmas day. The
postman toils, on lagging feet, for he is old and frail ; I see him
coming down the street' with slippers by the bale; as to my door
the postman drifts, I shed a weary moan; I often think that
Christmas gifts should be. for kids alone. I send a gift to my
Aunt Jane, and she hendtj one to. me; the gift I send gives her a
pain, and she cries "llully eheel" And she semifine a gaudy
pair of slippers she has knit, whereat I sigh ancwring my hair
the blamed things do not fit. ,. The little children love the things
we send by Santa's mail; they 're .happy as so many kings life
hasn't made things stale. I hear them shouting in their joy, and
love them for the din, in raptures o'er some flashy toy that's
made of wood.or tin. But wlien a grownup gets a gift, in Christ
inas ribbons tied, all wearily he maketh shift to see what is in
side. 4 And when' we hear hi doleful cry, as he upsets the chairs;
"More slippers! And already I have forty-seven pairs!" The
Christmas tree its head uplifts, a pleasant thing to see; now let
the children have the gifts I hope there's none for me!
