Very few are the fortunate indi« viduals who never have colds, and most of those living in our northern climate must be resigned to having one or two in the course of the win. ter; but one who takes cold readily and often is not in a healthy condi- tion. and should seek medical advice. The cause in such a case may be local, consisting in some malformation in the interior of the nose which' keeps the mucous membrane in an irritable state. This fault in anatomical con- struction can usually be remedied by an operation which is seldom severe. But before resorting to this the gen- eral system should be questioned in order to determine whether or not the fault lies With that. Often this is the case. even when a nasal de- formity also exiSts. This is a suhbjeot of perennial in- terest. and one about which much has been written, but with results disproportionally small, considering the consumption of ink. The truth is that a cold is due to an almost in- finite variety of causes; some local some general; some readily avoid- able, some practicaly inevitable ; and no one method will prove efiective in all cases. One of the chief predisposing causes of a cold is a disordered di- gestion, especially intestinal diges- tion. as a result. of overeating or the use of alcohol. It has been said that an underfed man cannot catch cold, while an overfed man can scarcely avoid it. Whether this is strictly true or not. there is certainly some close relation between the digestive organs and the nose ; and inaction of the bowels is a frequent forerunner of a cold. The adage that one ” must stuE a cold and starve a fever ” is pernicious â€"a cold is a fever. and one of the surest means of cutting it short is to take a laxative, abstain almost en- tirely from food for twenty-four hours. and drink two or three quarts of cool Water. Another ” pOpular remedy,” which is really an aggrevator, is a “hot toddy” at bedtime. A hot drink, hot lemonade. for example is good, and the subsequent sweat is good. if the sleeper does not throw 03 the bedclothes the minute he drops 03; but the alcoholic addition is not merely superfluous but injurious. Alcohol in any form predisposes to a cold and retards the cure of one al- ready present. Cool bathing, deep breathing, daily exercise in the Open air, fresh air in the house at all times and especially in the bedroom at nignt, abstemious living. and not letting waste mater- ials accumulate in the bodyâ€"these are the best means of removing one’s “ tendency to catch cold.” Lack of Knowledge. Nearly all the leaks previously mentioned may be set down to carelessness, but farm- ers also lose because some of them think that notning can be learned from others, and that a new idea is necessarily nonsense. No matter how good a farmer a man may be, he can still gain ideas from others that will be of value to him. The exper- ience of the Experiment Stations and of successful farmers should be care- fully scanned for " pointers.” How many farmers there are who do not subscribe to a paper devoted to farm- ing; these men are certainly losing monoy by false economy. In this age of pregress it is ideas that count; a single idea gained from a paper. will often, when put into practice, represents a gain of many times the subscription price. The local paper should also always be supported. and each farmer should do all he can to assist the editor of the agricultural paper and the local paper to produce as good a sheet as possible, and to extend the circulation of each.

The old proverb, “ For the want of a nail the horse was lost,” is very ap- propriate in such a case. A dollar or two spent for lumber or nails will often result in a large saving of feed and an increased comfort to the stock during the winter months. Neglect of a leaky roof is often responsible for heavy loses of grain or fodder and in the timber of buildings. Many agood frame has been ruined by a leaky roof. CASH ONLY.

The ambitious young woman was attracted by an advertisement, one line of which read, “How to Become an Author.” The advertiser claimed that by his method failure was impossible. Not an Occasion For Haste. During the Sikh war the late Field Marshal Sir Neville Chamberlain, who then held the rank of colonel. called for volunteers to assist him in blowing up a bastion. Three or four responded, and the colonel led the little party close up to the point where the mine was to be tired. As soon as the ex- plosives were in place and the fuse lighted the volunteers started to run in order to get out of the way of the explosion no less than to effect, as speedily as possible to retreat to the safety of the British lines. They had not gone a dozen yards before Cham- berlain shouted: “Come back! There’s to be no indecent haste, young men. We’ll walk.” And walk they did, while the fuse slowly sputtered down to the waiting powder. So the ambitious young woman sent on the necessary trifling sum of money, and by return mail she received a slip on which was printed this bit of ad- vice, “Write something." Every Convenience. There is a dock laborer in Glasgow who is possessed of a great sense of hu. mor. Perhaps it’s becauée he’s an Irishman. Pat had been disturbed sev- eral times in hissingle apartment by a well meaning lady missionary. See- ing Pat was rather an exemplary sort of a husband, she suggested that he might be able to afford a room and kitchen soon. “Convanlences in it?” said Pat, with a smile. “Sure, an’ at prlslnt if 0! want to go to the drawin' room or the dinin’ room or the conservatory, begorra, Oi’ve just got to sit still. Phwat could be handler?” “But," she protested by letter, “I already have done that, and it hasn't been printed.” “We congratulate you,” was the re- ply. “If you have written something, you already are an author.

On the whole, Jane, you may lay the baby on his back until I have looked up the matter more thoroughly. “Well,” she replied, “you Womd have more roomâ€"more conveniences."

The [little building had of course a gallery, and in the gallery the “gods" became so obstreperous on occasions that it was with great dimculty the play could he proceeded with. The ringleader, a well known rough of the town, was a man named Bill Hanra- han. One night a happy inspiration seized Sothern. Having learned the name of this prominent member of the rowdy element, he addressed him in the midst of the most unearthly noises as follows: “Mr. Hanrahan, will you be good enough to take charge of the gallery and keep order for me, and I shall feel very grateful." The result was magical. Bill became at once an official of the theater and as such cracked the heads of a few of his erst- while fellow rioters with such good ef- fect that it was only a little time be- fore the best of order prevailed. “An’ phwat wad 01 want lavln’ such a comfortable house as this for '1” asked Pat.

Many are the strange household and garden adornments scattered up and down the English countryside. In a Sussex village is part of a garden pal- ing made wholly out of the swords of swordfishes. The lady who owns the garden got the strange paling from her brother, who had originally sported it in the tropics. I Leuon That MIY- Be Learned From the Habit: of the Bees. “Don’t stir up a beehive unless you know it is a rich one,” said an apiarlst to a visitor at his bee farm. “You are not used to them, that’s all,” said the beeman. “For example, these hives are full of honey, and it I put! a little smoke into the doors so as to sort of suflocate the sentries I can topple a hive over, handle the bees like so many beans, clean the honey- combs and carry them off. The bees won’t harm me.” And, to prove his words, the speaker performed his ex- periment and came back to his friend with a smile and several heavy combs of honey. “If those hives had been nearly empty,” said the apiarist, “I would have been lucky to have escaped with my life. The tenants of a poor hive sting to kill.” “That’s strange,” said the visitor. “1 should think that they would de- fend their hoards with especial jeal- ousy, and the more they have the hot- ter they would fight." “The reason is,” said the beeman, “that when alarmed the bees fly to their storehouse and gorge themselves. When full of honey, a bee can’t bend its body and sting." “Which should be a lesson to us," said the other. “Don’t get too full.”- A Punctual Bird. What tempts the little humming bird that we see in our gardens to travel every spring from near the equator to as far north as the arctic circle, leaving behind him, as he does, for a season, many tropical delights? He is the only one of many humming birds that pluckily leaves the land of gayly colored birds to go into volun- tary exile in the north, east of the Mis- sissippi. How it stirs the imagination to picture the solitary, tiny migrant, a mere atom of bird life, moving above the range of human sight through the vast dome of the sky! Borne swiftly onward by rapidly vibrating little wings, he covers the thousands of miles between his winter home and his summer one by easy stages and ar- rives at his chosen destination, weath- er permitting, at approximatelv the same date year after year. A north country banker living near Wakefield has a great dining room the whole of t , walls of which are the wooden and ran doors of eminent cas- tles and historic buildings, and at Lis- card, in Cheshire, is a room that con- tains hundreds of picture frames made of every imaginable substance, from leather to tigers’ bones, one frame be- ing placed within another according to size so that the whole surface is cov- ered with frames. In Liverpool is a roomâ€"that of a dentist whose grandfather occupied the same premisesâ€"that contains many mirrors and pictures the frames of which are made entirely of sharks’ teeth. Near Birmingham a manufac- turer has a study that is lined, even to the roof, with nothing but chains of various thicknesses and padlocks of diflerent sizes.â€"-Pearson’s. The Woman and Her Face.
