The Brussels Conference (between husb&nd and wife) — " Shall we have a new carpet?" " Sad thing to lose your wife," said a friend to a Vermonter who stood at the grave of his wife. "Well, tolerably sad," replied the mourner, "but then her clothes just fit my eldest girl."— Detroit Free Press. Sea Breezes Ot'ten Blow* New Life into a Delicate Child. — There is some* thing very invigorating and exhilerating in the sea-breezes ; they often pick up a delicate child who has been pulled down and brought very low by a long and severe illness. The sea-breezes are often more strengthening to a child than codliver oil, or quinine, or wine of iron, and are far more pleasant than either of them. Children are very susceptible of the good effects of the sea-breezes— far more than are adults ; hence the splendid effects they usually have on a child after a severe, long-standing illness. When a child, for instance, has been much weakened by whooping cough, the effects of sea-breezes upon him are often really magical. Many a child who is delicate, instead of being physicked with drugs, should be physicked with sea-breezes ; it would, in a general way, be far tbe most sensible treatment of the two, and in the long run, would be the least expensive ! Truly the sea breezes are most valuable restoratives !
