Theory of I" Taking Colds

Professor Rosenthal gives the fol-
lowing explanation of the pathegenic
action of exposure to cold. Suppose
an individual to have been subjected
to an elevated temperature, such as
that of ball room or theatre, or to
have engage in violent muscular exer-
else ; the cutaneous vessels are dilated
and in state more or less akin to par
alysis, and in all cases more slow to
contract than usual. If at this mo-
ment the same person be exposed alb
ruptly and without any immediate
transition to low temperature, espe-
cially to a current of cold air. a consid
cradle loss of heat will be observed
upon the surface of the body. The
blood which has been thus cooled ex-
ternally comes back into the internal
organs and cools them suddenly; which
circumstance alone may, in an organ
predispose to disease, become the ac
tive cause of some severe maIady. The
cutaneous vessels, on their part, be-
come contracted, driving out the blood
which they contained, and thus pro-
duce kind of hyperamia, which in It
self may exercise a morbifc action.
This cause, however, is usually only
an accessory one, at least in cases where
the temperature has been much eleva-
ted. The vessels have lost their toni
city, and do not contract suddenly.
But If the danger from coliaternal
hyperamia is thus diminished, that
from refrigeration is increased-Har-
per's Magazine for Nay.

Spanish Fun-.-Carnival Days at CaIlao.

Callao, being Spanish
city, has that characteristic of all Span
ish cities, balconies, and on these.
during carnival days, the ladies gather
to shower water down on the passers
by, and wo betide the unlucky wight
who presumes to wear a good suit of
clothes. Some fill egg-shell with water
favored with perfume, which they be.
stow on friends, and for lovers Shells
filled entirely with perfume are pre-.
pared. The men ningle in this muse
ment, only they bestow water by the
pitcher or bucketful, and some of the
women are not particular as to the
amount of water they use The other
day several gentlemen were standing
where they thought they were protected
by balcony. A man seeing them
prepared to shower them from a pitch
erful of water To do this better he
leaned out quite distance, and a
woman in window above, seeing his
position, poured a bucketful of water
on him, the greater part running down
his neck. 1t was fair case of the bitter
getting bitten, and the man gracefully
accepted the situation, and with a
smile and bow retreated from the bal
cony.

Scottish Anecdotes.

There are some capital Scottish anee-
dotes in Every Saturday of April 10,
among them one Of dying Highland
chieftain, who asked his spiritual adviser
"lf there was any whiskey in Heaven
And then, halfapologetjcally said, aye
ken, sir, it's no that l care for it, but it
locks weel on the table," Here is anoth-
er: DR.. Robert Knox, the great teacher
of anatomy, began one of his lectures in
this way: Gentlemen, there are no text
books | can recommend | wrote one
myself, but it is poor stuff. | can't re-
commend it. The man VINO knows most
about subject writes worst about it. If
you want a good textbook on any subject,
recommend me to the man who knows
nothing earthly about the subject The
result is that we have no COED text book
On anatomy. We will have one soon,
however Professor Monro is going to
write one.o This Professor Monro was SO
lazy that he was in the habit of using his
grandfathers lectures, written more than
a hundred years before his day, and stu
dents were electrified by hearing him in
Q829 and 1880 drawl out, when | was
in Padua in 1894" This was the signal
for fun, and showers Of peas descended on
Monro's head, who could never un er-
stand what it was all about There is
also a story OF a Scotch servant, who,
when asked how "his lordship" (ie. his
MASTERY was answered, 81 hope he's weel."
He was, in fact, dead, but the old servitor
was too cautious to commit himself, in his
opinion, as TO his condition. Among other
drinking anecdotes and sayings is that of
an old worthy, who used to Say, "wbis-
keys a bad thing" and then, as if to quail
ify such dangerous sentiment, added.

Accidental Poisoning.

A letter from Decatur, ILL.,, says that
last week, while family named
Cooper, living twelve miles from
Decatur, were attending the funeral of
a sou, they left the house in charge of
Mrs. Metcalf aod two children. The
children becoming hungry, Mrs. NJ
gave them some milk taken from a
vessel in the pantry, and drank some
herself. Shortly after, they were seized
with violent paroxysms of pain, and,
when the family returned from the
funeral, they were almost in the agonies
OF death. A physician was called
Immediately, who succeeded in rellev-
ing the children, but Mrs. Metcalf
died. Investigation proved that Mrs.
Cooper had put large quantity of
strychnine In the mix to kill mice,
and when she saw the result of her
CT relesspess she was SO shocked that
her life is despaired of.

Memories of Childhood.
BY T. FERGUSON.

Changing lights that blaze and flicker,
Dreams that come and dreams that go,
Till the weary heart beats quicker
With the throbs it used to know,
Gather, thronging thick and thicker,
Memories of the long ago.
Dim as any dreamer's fancies
When he wakes at mornings prime,
Vague and quaint as old romances
Born of distant age and cline,
Scenes on which the sunlight dances
Rise from childhood's golden time,-
Rise and shine and CLEAN and glitter
Through murky mist OF years,
And scarce know which Is filter
For these greetings-smileso OF tears;
But the present seems so bitter
When the happy past appears.
All, the smiles upon the faces
That my child-eyes loved to meet
All, the flowers in verdant places
Trodden by nay childish feetl
All, the mysteries and the graces
OF those days so strangely sweet
Fitful CLEANS of passing splendor
Hover round shadowy train
OF the dear ones, swift to render
Fleeing every chlldish pam;
And one dear ono, good and tender,
None but saints shall see again.
Sunny visions rare and golden,
Streams of soothing balm that flow
From your fountains in the olden
Time that vanished long ago,
Would my days might pass enfolden
In the calm which We bestow
Life is full Of pain and pleasure,
Dark With shadow, bright with sun !;
But of memories sweet to treasure,
Good 10 dream and ponder on,
Gladdenins hours of lonely leisure,
None are like our chidhood's-nonel

MAUCH CHUNK.
The Last CT tho Coal Shutes.
The Mauch Chunk Democrat saws


On Thursday the last stick of timber
remaining of the world famed Goal
Shutes at Mauch Chunk" was thrown
down, and to-day the spot where, for more
than forty years, nearly all the coal trans.
ported to the seaboard by the old Lchigh
Company has gone necessarily rafting
from the top of the mountain to the canal
boats standing in the Lehigh below, is as
bare and as craggy as in the days when
shutes were not, and the mules and wag-
ons kept pace with the civilization. Al
ways, and especially of late, since our
twin railways have laid our grand gorges
open to the tourist and pleasure seeker,
have these old shutes been objects of err
crossing interest and wonderment, and
many thousands, whose habitations are
scattered from Mauch Chunk to our anti
podes iii China, will hold them in the
minds eve forever.
The inventor of the shutes, we believe,
was good old Josiah White, whose honest
Quaker ways are so fresh still in the re-
collection of many of our people, and W .
are told by a friend, now on the down hill
side of life, that he remembers well hav-
ing witness ed the spectacle OF cold
Josiah explaining his idea" to some
lady guest, while leisurcly counting the
breezes in the woods back of his residence,
now the home of Judge Leisenring. With

hand having the two extremities detached,
he demonstrated how the descending car

ously. 1t need create no amazement that
the boy sat silent, though he caught the
idea, nor that the picture of the white
haired, bare-he.ded Superintendent is
fresh in his mind to-day, as he said with
enthusiasm, Thee can have no idea what
a sayin' twill be for the mules" And it
was
1t superseded the mules; took away
their vocation, and for many years, with
it's accompaniment, the back rack, was
fully adequate to all the demand fer mo-.
tive power. But the originator is gone,
not to be forgotten-nor his work His
" idea" has taken wings ard steam 1t
has tied by chains of ponderous coal-cars
the Lehigh and the Wyoming and many
other valleys in one. The " coal shntes u
are supplanted by the Necquehoning Val
ley Railroad, cutting its monster tunnel
through the mountain and bringing the
hills to level. The shutes are gone, land
pryers into the past must see them in the
artists pictures or in the poets imagery,
but he can never hear the rattle or take
in the reality. The past is dying, and we
take hold on the future. If in all things
we improve, we do we'll. Mauch Chunk
and Maucll- Chunkers will long remember
the old shutes, the man whose fertile
brain produced them, and the scores of
houored contemporaries who fell long

How Mark Twain Got a Seat.

In q new local magazine Globe
published in Buffalo, is the following rem.
iniscence of Mark Twain's brief editorial
career in that city
No man detested loafers more than Mr.
Clemens, and assuredly no man could be
more pitiless in his treatment of bores. He
was vigorous in his denunciation of that
class of people who aimlessly and i'm
prudently intrude their constant presence
in an editorial room One incident will,
perhaps, bear relating, showing how he
once rebuked party of unoesired visitors.
Arriving at his office one evening about
81 o'clock, he found it full of men all
strangers to him. They had apparently
taken full possession of the room. Some
were smoking, and some had their feet
upon the table, and every chair in the
room was occupied. With a look of dis.
gust, NJ. Clemens hesitated for moment
in the doorway, and then in his peculiar
way, said:
"Is this the editorial room of the Ex-
press7"
Eyes, sir" promptly chorused the as
semblage.
"H-m !! is it customary for the editors
to sit down ?" questioned the humorist.
Yes,"" certainly" "to be sure,n were
the replies of the puzzled smokers. Why
do you ask ?" said one at last.
" Because" slowly enunciated Mr..
Clemens, Il am one of the editors Of the
Express, and it occurred to me that |
ought to have seat
In an instant every chair was vacated,
and the men somewhat abashed, attempted
to laugh the matter off by saying, "Ah
usual,' etc., etc, but there was something
in the ioker's eve that quickly told them
he was in no joking frame of mind at that
moment. After that, loafers were rather
shy of Mark Twain.

Two Pictures.

An old farmhouse with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover On each side;
A bright-eyed boy who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about
And wishes, his one thought all day:
ooh! If could but fly away
From this dull spot, the world to see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy should be.n
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
Who. mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking all day long:
ooh could only tread once more
The field-path to the farmhouse door;
The old, gree meadow could see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy should be-"

Dyspepsia among Farmers.

Dyspepsia is quite common among
farmers, and it cannot be due to any
lack of exercise. 1t is rather due to
too much exercise at the wrong time.
BY this we mean that the farmer, when
lie comes In after a half days hard
work with strong appetite, eats a
hearty meal, jumps from the table and
rushes directly off to work again. He
should rest half or three-quarters of an
hour at least, after such a meal, before
attempting any active labor. This
will III nine cases out of ten, we be-
lieve, prevent this disease among farm
ers who eat wholesome food properly
cooked.

Crossing the Blood.

By crossing the blood we understand
the selection of sire composed wholly
of different blood from that of the
dam. or as different as can be obtained
OF such quality as is suitable to the
particular purpose in view Thus, in
breeding race horses, it is found that
continuing IN the same strain beyond
two stages deteriorates the constitu-
tlOnal health. diminisGes the bone,
and lowers the height hence it Is i'm
portant to avoid this evil, and another
strain must be selected which shall
lead to the same results which were
previously in existence, without the
above deterioration and this is term
ed out crossing, or, more commonly,
crossing.
The great difficulty Is to obtain this
object without destroying the harmony
OF proportions, and due subordination
OF one part to another, which is neccs-
sary for the race horse, and without
which he seldom obtains high speed.
Almost every individual breed has pc
cuilar characteristics, and so long as
the sire and dam are both in possession
of them, they will continue to reappear
i'll the produce; but if dam possessing
them Is put to horse of different
character, the result is often that the
produce Is not a medium between the
two, but IS IN its anterior parts like its
dam, and in its posterior resem bling
It's sire, or vice versa, than which no
more unfortunate result can occur.
Thus, we will suppose that very
strong, muscular horse Is put to light
racing mare; instead of the produce
being moderately stout all over, he
will often be very stout and strong be-
hind, and very light and weak before,
and, as consequence, his hind quar-
ters will tire his fore limbs, by giving
them more to do than they have the
power of accomplishing.
