CATCHING CoID.-The season of the year is
now upon us when people everywhere will be
taking cold and in many cases they will suffer
much and die. A little care would often pre-
vent 1t. In the first place, as one OF the means
TO prevent cold, the daily bath in a warm
room, with much friction is very important.
In no case should the body be chilled. Use
much friction over the chest and throat and
snuff into the nOStrils a little of the water
warmed to a comfortable temperature Next,
after the bath, take daily exercise in the open
air, neither too much nor too little; exposing
the body somewhat to the cold and sun for a
short tine. but never eXhauSting il. One

state OF the body that first occurs so
II Is not able to resist unfavOrable in
huences. People who are not very vigorous
should avoid Overexertion and keep the
strength up to the highest point. 1t will help
those prone TO cold to sleep all they can.
Another cause of colds is eating too heartily
after day $ work. when there are not forces
enough to digest the food and keep up the-cir
culatl0n. Eat moderately at night. if van
would avoid cold. A cold in its early stages
may be broken by hot foot baths, warmth to
the body, especially hot pack or hot bath
in the middle OF the day, with much friction.
and quiet in a comfortable room. 1t is not adj
yisable TO take hot bath at night IN such
cases. When you have cold don't eat much

A REMARKABLE CoLLECTIoN.-The an
nuuncemem III our advertising columns of
the sale this week OF over one hundred thou

interest, but il would require volume To ade
quately describe this unique and remarkable
collection. In the first place, il is not mere
hap-haZard collection OF ShOp-WOrn views
thrown into the auction room. but it is the
result Oi the careful labor OF years on the part
of a gentleman OF taste Of this city, who has
spared no expense in getting the freshest and
best work of The leading StereOScOpic artists
of the world. This selection OF one hundred
and ten thousand views is therefore not only
the largest III the world, but the views in
every set are the very best ever taken Many
of these views are nowhere else Obtainable,
and very lew of them could now be procured
OF the same perfection. IL is to be regretted
That this unique collection should be broken
up, and il would be great thing for Washing
ton If il could be purchased a. a whole and
Kept here, but certainly the opportunity of Sc
curing the best and most interesting speci
mems OF StereOScOpic art will never be en-
loyed again here or elsewhere; for il is not
likely that collection on this scale and of
this importance will even be made again in
any part OF the world. The sale will commence
