How we Catch Cold

This pertinent question, says the Ian
Get, is just now engaging attention.
There is another question which should
be answered first, namely; What IS
cold? The idea OF ''chill" is perhaps
nearer the truth than the modern no.
tons of 'cold." The hypothesis would
seem that a "cold" is something more
than 4 cold because, it is said, "IOu do
not catch cold unless you have cold"
The fact is, there are probably rs many
diverse occurrences grouped and con-
founded under the generic title OF cold
catching as diseases covered by that pop
ular term, fever, which is made TO COM
prise every state in which the pulse is
uuickened and the temperature is rails
ed. BY process of reasoning, "cold'
ought to be limited to cases in
which the phenomena are those OF a
"chill." When person catches cold
either of several morbid accidents may
Occur-hrst, he may have such a chill oil
the surface as shall drive the blood into
the internal organs and hamper some
weak or disorder and influence some
diseased yiscus; second, the cold may
so infringe on the superficial nerves tina.
serious disturbances of the system will
ensue and morbid state be developed;
third, the current OF air which causes
the cold NAV i'm fact be laden
with the propigating germs OF disease;
or. fourth, the validity OF the organism
as a whole, or OF some one or more OF
its parts, may be so depressed by sud
den attraction of heat that recovery
NAV be impossible or a severe and mis-
chievious reaction ensue. The philoso-
ply of prevention is obviously to pre-
serve the natural and healthy action OF
the organism as a whole, and OF the sur
face in particular, while habitating the
skin to bear severe alterations OF temper
allure by judicious exposure and natural
stimulation by pure air and clean water
and orderly habits OF hygiene and health.

Washing Wool on the Sleeps Back


T. : Economist.
Under Needed Reform in Wool Mat
tiers" Mr.. Jacob Funch, OF Fairfield,
Iowa, writes:
So long as the buyer will pay as much
for wool that wus washed on the Sleeps
back. and then not sheared until it is
dirty and greasy rs ever, rs he Will Tor
nice, clean, well-handled wool, so long
may he expect to get plenty OF dirt and
pounded tags with his wool. So long as
buyers continue TO pay premium for
dirt, so long my advice to wool growers
is tOg get their wool as dirty and greasy
as they can, and then sell it for dirty
wool or wool in the dirt, and there will
be no deception about it. In fact, at
the present rate of difference between
tub washed, fleece washed and unwashed
wool, there is a pretty fair per cent. in
favor of selling dirty wool. ltmakes no
difference how many rains have washed
YOUR sheep, you will have to sell 1t as
unwashed wool; and it makes no differ
ence how shallow the the creek through
which sheep have been driven, you can
sell it as fleece washed wool to any or
binary western buyer. For this reason,
we say, get all the dirt and grease in it
YOU can, then sell it as unwashed or
dirty wool.

The Consequence of Over Work

Nothing is more reprehcnsible and
thoroughly wrong than tue idea that q
woman ful6lls her duty by doing an
amount Of work beyond her strength
She not only does not fulfill her duty,
but she most signally fails in it, and the
failure is truly deplorable. There can
be no sa'lder sight than that OF broken
down. over-worked wife and mother-a
woman who is tired all her life through
Ii the work OF the household can not
be accomplished by order, system, and

spends her life in unnecessary labor is
by this very labor untitled for the duties
OF home. She should be the haven Of
rest to which both husband and children
turn for peace and rcfreshment She
should be the careful, intelligent adviser
and guide Of the one. the tender conf
dant and helpmate OF the other. How
is it possible for woman exhausted in
body, and as natural consequence i'm
mind also, to perform either OF these
offices? No it is not possible. The con.
slant strain is too great. Nature gives
way beneath it. She loses health and
spirits, and hopefulness, and, more than
all, her youth, the last thing that n wo-
man should allow To slip from her, for.
no matter how old she is in years, she
should be young in heart and feelings,
for the youth of age is sometimes more
attractive than youth itself To the
oveT-worked woman this green old age
is out Of the question; old aye comes
on her sere and yellow before its time.
Her disposition is ruined. her temper is
soured, her very nature is changed by
the burden which. too heavy TO carry,
