How 10 Escape Coughs aud Cold.

Physicians cay that every kind Of cold
bronchitis, Liphtheria, sore throat, and pul
monary complaints are remarkably preya
lent now. Sensible people ought to reflect
that nine-tentbs OF these troubles arise from
preventable causes. Wet feet are probably
the first cause of good many of them
There is no excuse for any one who catcheS
cold from wet feet OvershOes are cheap
and in this climate they ought to be worn
all the time between the lst of November
and the first of may. 1t is never safe to be
without them, except in summer. Henry
Ward Beecher ascribes his robust health
mainly to the wearing Of overshoes
and all other men who know how to
take care of themselves testify TO the same
effect. Another cause Of throat and
lung diseases is Insufiicisncy OF clothing.
Girls and women who 90 ''iow-necked and
short sleeved" to parties take off their llan-
nels to do so, and when consumption de-
clares itself wonder how they got it. \
still more general cause is overheating and
bad ventilation indoors. The lungs, parched
and poisoned in the house, are in i'll condi,
tion to brathe cod or mCiIt air out Of door.
Carbonic-acid gas puts them in state Ol
incipient Inflammation before they meet the
fresh air at all. Attention 10 these simple
dictates of common sense would prevent, We
believe, a large proportion of the dangerous
coughs and colds in this community which
do not come from constitutional weakness
or predisposition; and in the latter class Of
cases the need of careful watching Is
greater.

1861 Cardinal Gsstald adopted precau-
tions more effective against the spread Of
the disease and at the same time Of a more
merciful character. The sick he caused to
be removed to a lszaretto on an island in
the Tiber, while those who had sickened in
the same house were conveyed to an asylum
outside the city. To ward off infections,
the Arabians, who had much experience of
the plague, advised keeping houses as cool
az possible by strewips them with cooling
herbs, violets, water-lillies. etc, and
frequently sp,inkling vinegar and water.
They also enforced the eating OF acid fruits,
such as pomegranates and oranges.

COL. DoDGE's OPINION OF TIE ARMY EE-
ORGANIZATION ELL.
Richard |. Dodge, Lieut. Colonel sd
Infantry, says Of the new army re-organiza-
ton bill, that aside from some few cases OF
injustice, OF real hardship inseparable from
so radical a change, and the necessity for a
rasher-mean economy, as for instance, the
post chaplairs, belieyes il would be i'm
possible TO frame a bill combining more
admirable and valuable points. Taken as
whole, the organic alton proposed by this
bill seems to him IA nearly perfection as
possible, and if Congress will pass the bill
and allow it work a few years without tink-
| ering he believes the result will. be such as
the committee the army, and the country
may well be proud OF. To this end, how
ever, it is most important that the bill pass
in its entirety.

Jacob Schaefer, the Leayenworth billiard
prodigy, is now the champion cue handler
of the United States, and is without doubt
the sest player this country ever produced.
While Slcsson, his competitor in the last
match, has made the lsrges; score on rec
ord, four hundred and sixty y-four, Schaefer
made the largest average, and stands so
high above his former rivals, that he need
fear no further trouble Schseier was
brought up in this city, lived here until
about four years ago when he went 10 New
York, afterwards 10 Boston and then TO
Chicago, in which city he is now engaged
by the brunswick x Bake billiard table
company. Jake assisted his father In the
management of the billiard room at the
corner of Fourth and Shawnee streets and
being constantly in practice and
having a natural taste for the sci
enoe OF handling the cue he
soon gained name throughout
the West as an expert, and while he was
regarded as very handy, still it was not
dreamed of at that time that the Lesven-
worth lad would so soon become the cham
pion of the country. Jske's exploits since
he left Leavenworth, are well known, As
they have been chronicled in all the news,
papers of the country, ard are familia,

in the game. His great quality as stayi'

the truth, it is impossible to dishearter

to be dishesrtened, 1t was during the pro
gress of the game with Slosson, when tb,
latter stood $50 to Jake's I9, potwithstand

LOVESTRUCk STUDENTS.
Infatuated with IN Actress-Tbeir
Ardor is Suddenly Cooled.

NEW maven iNeSlstSr-l
The performance Of the " III. VI. S. Pima
fore" comic opera at thel Opera House the
other evening, was attended by many Yale
students, three of whom were completely
carried away with the charms OF Miss Roe
Temple, who was in the caste "a Rslph
Rackstraw, "an able seaman" She was
sttired in an ordinary sailors garb, with
flowing bell-button pants, which Topped
about her pretty feet. She also wore a neat
pea Jacket and jaunty sailors hat of straw,
which sat on the back Of her head, which
was covered with becoming blonde wig.
Her costume, as a whole, did not particu-
larly become her, but her pretty face and
figure were attractive. The love-sick stu
dents had the audacity to send their cards
behind the scenes 10 the lovely Rose, but
she received them with scorn, and did not
return the compliment, if such it could be
considered. But nothing could dampen
their ardor, and at the close OF the per-
formance the jealous sons of Yale waited
about until the company came from their
dressing room and followed them TO the
depot, evidently bent upon making the ac-
Iuaintance OF Miss Rose. At the depot the
members Of the company dropped into COM
Portable seats and were in waiting for the
Shore Line express at 1882 which took them
to Providence. The students at once began
to scan the faces OF the female members for
their adorable Temple. At last they saun-
tered off to one side of the room in a dark
corner where gentleman and lady were
seated. As they passed by they cast look
at the couple. 1t was she; the one they
were searching for. But 10 she had with
her beautiful child, evidently her own,
which was quietly nesting upon her bos-
ON, and beside her sat her husband who
was silently taking in the whole situation.
lie was the happy pOssessor Of the illumi-
mated cards sent behind the scenes by the
students, and was also the possessor Of the
love ard affection of the charming Rose
Temple. His observation of the last scene,
in which the students took part at the de-
pot, was very satisfactory one. When
they discovered the mother and nursing
babe, their ardor became suddenly chilled,
and the change that Overcame their features
was very marked. They did not remain TO
bid the fair Rose good bye, but like the
Arabs SILENTLY stole away" and in a sub
dued and thoughtful mood made their way
to the campus.
