PATTEJ¥30N, JII D. I habit which many people have of alw:ql;. muffl;ng up the tnroat during the winter, is a mistake. It not unfrEquently happens that thoee people commenue this prac ice early in the fall, and continue to do ao until late in t he spring. l'he result Is, that if they ahould happen to l..ave off thdr scarf or muiilu for a few hours, they i.re very likely to take c~ld. The wearing of this a.dditi6nal and unnecess~ry nellk covering tends onlv to render the neck and throat more sensitive, and consequently entails a g.·eater liability to take cold. Even with the severe weather which we sometimes have, the days are few when it la necessary to "bundle up" the neck and head, as many do every day throughout the winter. The ml11hke lies first, in tlommenclng to wrap up t oo early lo the fall. A littls process of jndlcio lB hardeuing of the throat and neck would soon enable one to continue until well into the winter, without the employment of such additional oovering. The turning up of the coat collar; or a light ha.ndkerchief, would be found to be aufliclent. Throat troubles are due not so much to clima.te, a.a to the ca.re, or rather the neglect of attention to the rules of hea.lth, which ahould govern the dally life of every person. B ut one thing should a.lways be remembered, and that is, a.ll mufflers or wraps should at once be removed frou tile neck upon en · tering the house, church, lecture reom, concei-·' ha.II, etc ; in fa.ct, whenever one goes from out doors in~o a." Y artificially heated room. Thee term t hro11ot diaea.se oomprisrs a large number of affections of that organ and its immediate connecting structures, nearly all of which are to a greater or lees extent, dependent upon a catarrhal infla.mmation ol the mucous membrane of those parts, Now catarrh, when loca.ted there, or iu s<>ma other pa.rt of the b ody, is always due ta a succeasion of sudden changaa to which the body h subjected in one wa.v or another. Once alone will not usually do it, but let people get well warmed up, and t hen suddenly expose themeelves to the cold, and it will not take many such timea to oat!l.bllsh a cata.rrh of thrmJ.t a.nd lungs, which it may be a diflicult thing to eradicata entirely from the system. We hear a great deal sa.id about t he air in certain loca.litiea being "too atron g" for weak lungs. But the fault is not in the air, but in the ability of one who has weak lungs ~o withstand that , which to a strong, healthy and robust person, would be only what a vigorous nature absolutely requires, The trouble is, too many people are like hothouse pfonts. They allow themselves to grow into the habit, by which they are only oomfortuble in a l'oom at 80 °. One writer ha.s aptly rem11orked that pure air. and plenty of it, night as well as day, even if it be da.mp and cold, sa1t·laden, providing it is not permitted to fall in draughts on lihe p erson, is one of the best prophylu.otics against taking cold. Many people ll.re troubled more or less of t he time with boarsen1 ea. In thi~ connection It may be incidentally rema.rked tba.t h orseradish is a most excellent remedy for this trouble, and uauallv affords spaedy relief as EOJn as it is used, Tho root i~ to be eaten green, and not after it has dried, Another most excellent remedy for thr o11ot troubles, and one which is within l'each of every one; ls "" common salt. Those people who use a great deal of salt a.re less subject to dr9ness and inlhmmation of the throa~, th those who do not. A very good way to ". , lt Is to prepa.re it in the ferm of a ga.r~le. Take a. hea.ping tfaup&onful of salt in a tumbler of water, 1md ga.rgle three or four times a day. It is well to avoid going out in the cold for fifteen or twenty minutes after using it. Many do not know to what dang~rs one is liable who has a severe sore throa.t. I do not mean diphthoretic eore throat. but the common non-specific sore t hroat. The danger to be £ea.red, a.nd consequently to be avoided, is uloo_rat ion. If this ta.kes place, the case beco~a one of a serious na.ture. P r ompt ca.re and attention will genera.Uy pevent this a.dditlona.l and serious complication. For dryness of the thrqat, a sma.11 piece of murlate of ammonia, ten or fifteen gra.lns every two or three hours, will be found very aervioeable, It ii15best taken dry in the mouth and allowed to slowly dissolve. ·'Well, well, " said Mrs. Ca.tson, potting aside a newspa.per and turning to her hus· band, "a pair d earring~ ca.used t he Burmese war, I never hea.rd i;f anything oo strange." "Oh," said Mr. Catson, "I ha.ve heard of stranger thiPgs." "N on sense." "Wt1ll, I. have, and I'll give you a.n example, One night in Boston a. young mli.n, meeting a.n a.cquainta.nce, ea.id : ' Come, let's have a drink.' I never was in Boston, bu~ that rema.rk brought about our marriage." "Why, George," Pxclalmed Mrs, Gatson "you are foolhb. Neither of ua were ever in Boston. You must be losing your mind." "Tell you what I'll do; I promised to get you a. new oloak, didn't I?" "Yllll." " Well, now I'll bet you the oloa.k that I can prove my a.ssertion." "All right." " If I succeed, you don't iet the cloak," " I uodereta.nd." "Well, one night In Boston about ten yea.rs vgo, a young man, meeting a fri£nd, askt1d him to oome out a.ad have a drink. The friend, a drug clerk, did eo. He took several drinks and got drunk, That settled it." "s ~ttled what?" "'l'he fact of our ma.rriage." "How can you he so fo olish ?" "Never mind, I'll explain. The drug clerk got drunk and 1 went to the otore. Shortly afterwa.rd a servant girl entered and ha.nded him a prescription. In ,putting it up he used morphine instead of quinine. The girl went awa.y, a.nd delivered the medicine t o Mrs. Potter who_ t ook lt a.nd died." "Oh, what's the use of prolonalng this foolishness ?" " Hold on. The <lea.t h of that woman drew you and me1oloser together than we ever were before." uwe were not acquainted with each other ten years ago." " That is very true, but wait. Mr. Potter, the lady's husband, wa3 almost orazsd by grief, He could stay in New York no longer, so he ca.ma down to Ke'!ltucky and, after awhile, went Into business.

After I had been with him several years, he eont me to Arkansll.w. I had been in this State but a short t ime until I met yon. Summary : If the friend ha.d not a.eked tho drug clerk to drink on one ccrta.in occasion he would not have got drunk. If he hadn't been dru nk he would not have made a mistake in filling the presc-iption, and had he not ma.de a mistake, Mrs. Potter would not have beenkilled, and ha.dehe not died, Potter would not have lef t New Y ork, and had he not left that city I should not ha.ve met him, and ha.d I not gone into buoinees with him-" "Oh, for g nodnese sake, hush. You are enough to drive anybody crazy." She aroae and left the room. Her husband mused : " I'll ma.ke her another bet. I'll bet she doesn't get that cloa.k.

A fluid often accumulates in one or more cavities of the body, causing much harm by its pressure, a.nd frequently resulting in death. It is sometimes due to lnlla.mma.tlon,:whleh increase~ the natural secretion of the parts, and sometimes to obstructions of the blood-vessels, ca.using their distention and a lea.ka (!, or exudation, of the watery parts of the..,alood through t heir walls. The fluid is genera.Uy thin, limpid and colorless, or sligh tly yellaw, or, more rarely, gelatinous and turbid. When it Is due to infla.mma.tion, it tends to become purulent aud fetid. A secreting membrane coven the longs, and, turning baok, lines the sides of the chest, thus forming a closed cavity. A similar one lines every. closed cavity of the body, and secretes a thin, lubricating fluid whloh prevents all ifriotion between a.djaoent parts. This fluid is called serum. AH cavities which opens Into the outer world- the mouth, stomach, Intestines, bla.dder, etc.are lined with a membrane tha.t secretes mucUB, a thicker fluid, A serum-secreting membrane, slmilu to that which Invests the lungs, lines the sac (perio~rdium) that encloses the heart, also the entire ca.vlty of the a.bdomen, all the j oints of the body, and equa.lly covers a.:o.d surrounds the brain, dipping down Into and lining its ventricles and convolutions. Thus, In pleurur, "wa.ter" may ao a.ooumulate between the.che6t a.nd the lungs as not only to impede but wholly prevent the action of the latter ; between the heart and Its sac, so as to Interfere with the action b11th of the hea.rt and the lungs ; within the abdomen, t11 the amount sometimes of gallons ; within · ' joints, especially of the knee, a.nil upon .e bra.In, or within its ventricles.

Accordingly he crowds the sup13rfl11oue ooots under t he sofa, thrusts smaller articles of pers9n!l.l app(\rel Into the d rawers, empties the cigar ashes and bits of waste p 'l.per behind his desk, and thus quickly sets his room in order. N ow the result ot this process la eminently sa.tisfa.ctory. Not only ha.1 he put things out of the way, but; he ls in a. position to find them again as soon as he wants them. The sob stands faithfully on gua.rd over the boots, and he oo.n a.t any time poke them out with 1.1o cane, The discarded collars, the glovea, the pipes and the va.rious small articles thrown into the drawers, remain there, and the ashes and waete paper could be exhumed from behind the desk, were any possible demand for t hem to arise.

Well, he belongs to Bob and me together, as I told you ; so one week he lives at our house, and the next week he lives at Bob'~. and we a re going to teach him a new trick every week. It is Bob's week now, and I miss him very mucli, though of course I see him every day. He knows some tricks alrea.dy. You give him aome snow, nnd he sits up a.nd malleo it into snowballs, patting it with his funny little black h ands (of course they are paws, but they really look like hands), till he makes it quite round and hard, and then he rolls it about, or else he throws it away, and then looks at you to give him some more. He doesn't like to have hie feet wet, so when they get wet, he p!l.tS them ll.gainst the wall until they are dry. He did that in mamma's room one day, and left the marks of hie feet all over the p retty pink plper ; a.nd mamma whipped him. Bat I don't suppose he knew that the paper wa.a pink , or pretty either.

And Mrs. Ta.ylor screamed, and Bob came in to see what was the matter, a.nd Coon ran right between his lego and t ripped him up, and he fell down on top of the pie, And then Mrs. Taylor looked at the other 11ies, and he had patted every one of t hem all round the edge, and there were the marks of his feet a.Il over them.

To be suro, they might not have ao many opportunities to m arry as before, but as they do not need to marr but one a.t a time, It is necessa.ry tha.t that one should be satisfaotory.
