Warm Feet

Jf grown people choose to go to bed witb cold feet, "what's to hinder ?" - Mayba they agree with the irascible oíd man who, having tried various linimeiits and emollients witlnut effect, at last dofied the offending member : "Acheaway old follow, I can stand it aa long as you can." But to put into cold sheets feet tbat should be warm and rosy, but that are nuinb and blue, is enough to make all the little toes this side of the tropio curl. Scme have eonstitutionaily cold feet, that will be cold in epite of woolen s'.ockings and thick Bhoes, and any amount of exercise. The nervous system of children is said to bc five times greater proportionately than that of their elders. Who eau doubt t ? And certain restless specimens, eominon to every neighborhood, hhou'd bo, in justice to ordinary two-footed urchins, ranked as human decapods ; for how can oue pair of fcot accomplisb all those juvenile Fliakiros do? But bed-time rolls around, snd then the tired limbs, the yielding bonos of the growing body, sbould lie in happy unconstraint; knees and chin fihould not be brought into unnatural and unconge nial neighborhood. How can they helü it when all below the hem of the nigbtdreps ia a dreaded Nova-Zembla ? If the bcdrorms are warmed, there vi I be no chili in the mattrenscs and blankeis ; but every one knows how it is in a cold room. We should likc to urge all mothers, eider sisters, aunties, and nurses, to use either a soapstoue, which is easiest, or a warmed crib-blanket, for the feet of their littlo charges. With that pleasant anticipation, going to bed will bo robbed of half its objections. There will be fewer coughs and ca tarrhal colds, digestión wiíl improve, and "awful dreams" become less frequent; thero will be no tedious hours of cliilly wakefulness. Molher may then with the good-oight kiss, safely invoke ■ "picavaat dreams and sweet ropose."'
