How People Take Cold.

Not by tumbling into the river and drag
ing home as wet as drowned rat not bv
BENG pitched into the mud, or spilled out
IN the snow insleighing time not by walk
ing Tor hours, over shoe-top in mud; not
by soaking in the rain, without an umbrel

unnameable sticks to you like wet rag:
not by hoeing potatoes until you are in a
lather OF sweat; these are not the thinos
which give people colds; and yet they are
all the time telling us how they Caught
their death-cold by exposure"
The time for taking cold is far after your
exercise; the place is in your own house,
or office or counting house. 1t is not in the
act OF exercise which gives the cold, but
the getting cool too quick after exercising.
For example, you walk very fast to the
railroad station or to the ferry, OF to catch
the omnibus, or to make time for an an
polntment; your mind being ahead ofyou,
the pody makes an extra effort to keen up
with it, and when you get to the desired
spot you raise your hand and find yourself
in perspiration; you take q seat. and feel

you begin to talk to friend, OF if New

you are aware OF 1t, you experience SEN
satlon OF chllliness, and the thing is done;
you look around to see where the cold
comes from, and find an open window near
you, or door, or that you have taken u

MODERN BREVITY,

That was bitter joke of the man in
New Jersey who put Quantity of ialap in
some beer his friend was about to drink
The funeral was very generally attended,
Exchange.
We don't know who originated the above
manner OF stating fatal occurrence, but
it seems to be quite generally followed by
newspaper photographers. 1t is delicate
way of putting it, and reads much better
than when one says che died amid the
most horrible and excruciating agonies. y
We get the whole story and our sensibili-
ties are not unnecessarily shocked"
The new style of paragraphing affords a
line field for the exercise Of ingenuity in
conveying the intelligence that the man
died. Variety, viyacity, might be mingled
with the brietest notice of casualties that
might otherwise be utterly neglected by
the reader or briefly glanced at. As, for
instance, in the following:
GA man in New Hampshire the other day
ate fifteen dozen raw oysters on wager
The silver trimmings alone on his coffin cost
twelve dollars and thirty-fye cents.
John Smith, in Nebraska, said he could
handle rattlesnake the same as q snake
charmer. The churlishness of the under
taker in demanding pay in advance delayed
the funeral four days.
A circus rider in Texas tried to turn
three summersaults on horseback the other
day. The manager sent back to New Or
leans the next day for another summersault
man.
A man in New Jersey couldn't wait for
the cars to get to the depot and jumped off.
His widow has sued the insurance compa-
ny.
Few men would attempt to dry damp
ened gunpowder in kitchen stove. A
man in Canada did. His afflicted family
would be glad of any information as to his
whereabouts.
In Massachusetts the other day a man
thought he would cross the track in adj
vance of locomotive. The services at the
grave were very impressive.
A man warned his wife in New Orleans
not to light the fire with kerosene. She
didn't heed the warning. Her clothes fit
his second wife remarkably well.
A boy in Detroit disregarded his moth
ers injunction not to skate on the river, as
the ice was thin. His mother don't have
to cook for SO many as she did by one.

Earrings OF any first-class bankers play
r0ug-et-noir after that fashion than of their
trying to shut the Bank of England for the
sake ofstudying the physiognomical marks
OF despair on a splendid scale. The effort
to do such thing would cost the million
alre more cash in the consequent deprecia-
ton of his credit than he could hope to
make by his operation.
The American press is already asking
anxiously where the remedy for this state OF
affairs can be found and it has reason for
its anxiety. There is not the slightest Sc
curity that the experiment may not be re-
peated by men much stronger than Messrs.
Fisk u Gould, and the government cannot
be always descending in shower of gold
to the relief Of mankind. Even if gold
were not the subject, men SO rich and i'm
bued with such thirst for gaming might
still work irretrieyable mischief A Mar
quis OF Westminster can do much, but
threat from him to upset the city would
only provoke smile A Mr. Vanderbilt

Chief might reduce us all to q state of bar
ter, and work more ruin than an invading
army and if we may judge from all we
hear OF New York, would be just as likely
to do it as not in order to feel his power to
make STROKES" and generally to enjoy the
excitement Of superb form of gambling.
Fortunately in England man of that kind
would in no short time provoke the COM
munity, and the community through Par
lament is absolute; but in America we see
nothing to prevent the development of the
millionaire into virtual monarch, the
state of whose digestion would be import
ant to millions, who could no more be con-
trolled than shah could be controlled,
and who, ifhe could not sendhis adyersaries
the bowstring, could send them an equally
fatal decree Of confscation. We fail to see
what man with fifty millions could do in
New York, or why successful chief in the
ring" any man with a million, head for
finance, and no scruples should not make
fifty millions. We expect yet to see Mr..
Urquharts strange dream fulfilled, and
single millionaire gain possession ola State,
make what laws he pleases, and live in
free republic as much sovereign as if he
were an Asiatic king. anderbilt-who,

Bonnie Annie Laurie"

Almost every one is familiar with the
sweet song of"Annie Laurie" though it
may not be generally known that the fair
faced maiden was not a creature of imagi-
nation but an actual verify of whose an
cestry honorable mention is made in Scot
fish history.
Stephen Laurie was lourishing Dunn
fries merchant before James vi. became
King. Prior to 1911, he married Marion,
daughter of Provost Coran-getting with
her handsome marriage portion. His
wealth enabled him to purchase of Sir
Robert Gordon of Lochinvar, Bithbought,
Shall Castle and Maxwellton whose "braes
are bonnie" Stephen Laurie, then man
OF many acres, took the designation of
Maxwellton, leaving, at his death, his lands
and titles to his eldest son, John.
The next head of the house was Robert,
baronet. He was twice married. and had,
by his second wife three sons and four
daughters. The birth of one of the latter
is thus entered in the family register by her
father: cat the pleasure of Almighty God,
my daughter, Annie Laurie, was born upon
the 10th day of December, 1862 years,
about six o'clock in the morning, and was
baptized by Mr.. Geo. Hauter," minister OF
Glenclairn)
This minute is worth quoting, as the
little stranger, whose entry into life it an
nounces, grew to be the most beautiful
Dumtriessian lady of the day, and the he
roine of song which has rendered her
charms immortal
"Her brow is like the snow drift,
Her throat is like the swan,
Her face it is the hirest
That eer the shono on
That eer the sun shone on,
And dark blue is her eye
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
Id lay Inc down and die"
The well-known lyric, of which these
lines form part, was composed by Mr.
Douglas Finland, an ardent admirer OF
"bonnie Annie" who did not, however
return his affection, but married his rival
Alexander Ferguson.

A Strange Tale Of Seattle Story Of Haunted
Fishing Vessel.

Boston, March 25.-About a year ago
last month the schooner Andy johnson,
Mcclellan, master, of Salem, started for
Georges Banks on a fishing cruise, and has
not been heard from since About that
time the schooner Haskell came in COLI
sion with vessel in the nighttime on the
Banks and sank her, leaving large piece
OF the rail- OF the unknown vessel on her
BOWS This piece correspondent with the
Andy johnson, and is supposed to be the
last relic OF her. The Haskell started last
month for the Banks, and the first night
on the fishing grounds had bad weather.
-Four OF the men were ON deck, when sud-
denly there appeared to them four of the
missing men of the crew of the johnson.
who ordered them home They were
frightened and called the Captain and the
rest OF the crew, told them what thew had
seen and prevailed on them to return home
leaving the schooner on her arrival The
owners then shipped a new Captain and
crew, as not one Of the former crew would
go IN her, and she again left for the Banks,
where she arrived in good time and they
again tried their luck. Bad weather again
met the schooner, and when all hands were
on deck eleven men appeared to them
and took their lines from them, ordering
them to return at once, which they did the
next morning. Arriving off the harbor of
Gloucester, they anchored theschooner and
took their small boats to land, giving as
reason that they were afraid to take the
vessel to Gloucester, as they were ordered
to Salem. The owners sent tugboat and
toWed the Haskell to their wharf, and now
she is reported as having returned third
time empty. This is strange and curious
tale, but 1t is youched for by reliable par
ties as true. 1t has created great deal of
excitement i'll the ports Of Salem and Glou-
cester.
