Ash rule, sneeze is the warning nature
gives that some part of the body is exposed
to cooler temperature than the other parts,
and that the sneezer is 9 catching cold -
Next to the warning, what is the use of the
sneeze? It throws open the pores of the
whole body, and induces gentle perspiration !;
in word, it throws off the cold. A child
rarely sneezes more than twice. Perspira-
ton is readily induced in youth; an old
man, on the contrary, sneezcs half dozen to
a dozen times with loudly explosive "cat-
chogue." It'll harder to set him to perspir-
ing When one is setting by an open window
and finds himself'sneezing, nature tells him he
is taking cold He should get up instantly,
walk about, and take a full tumbler Of cold
water to keep up the gentle perspiration that
the sneeze set in motion. If he does this, he
will not be telling, an hour after, that he has
cold In his head, chest or lungs.-Dr II.

MISCELLANY.
TIE aoMs OF JEFFERSON.

As the traveller approaches the home Of
Thomas Jefferson, at Monticello, be passes
through wooded country, near the summit
OF one Of the Blue Ridge peaks and within
easy view Is seen the old graveyard, with its
diIapidated brick wall. Nearly all the JeEer-
sons are buried there. A common stone,
about five feet high, marks the grave Of the
author of the Declaration. Born, April 2,
1743, o. s. !; died July 4, 1926" Is all that
can be seen. Time has worn away the in

A short distance away stands the old home
surrounded by grove of ancient trees. The

Charlottesville and the University lie beyond !;
TO the north stretches away the Blue Ridge,
