COLD IN THE HEAD.-MOSt people look up
on a cold as as small matter. "Oh," they
say, ''it is nothing but a cold" And yet Il
cold may prove speedily fatal, or be a source
of lifelong harm. The danger is more appa-
rent when we remember that a vigorous per-
son but seldom takes cold, but mainly those
persons in whom the power of vital resistance
is already weakened.
A cold may run rapidly into pneumonia. 1t
may give rise 10 rheumatism and thence dis
ease of the heart. 1t may throw itself with
dangerous symptoms OH the bowels. 1t may
bring on kidney complaint. 1t may in1ame,
and close up the gall-ducts, and thus cause in
describable agony from the dstentiOn Of the
infamed bladder by the accumulated bile.
Finally, it may result in cold in the head.
The original attack-it is slight and brief
fever-is general. The point Of special harm
is from the consequences which remain when
the fever is over.
Of all colds it is generally thought that one
in the head is of the least significance, beyond
being annoying. But, at Il late meeting of the
New York medical society, a paper was read
by DIR. ROOSa, in which he declared it to he
the most frequent cause of certain chronic
diseases-and indeed of very many of the
maladies which terminate life before the age
of seventy.
He added: ''The first great precauton to
be taken by each individual is to keep himself
in good general condition; and to do that he
must studiousy avoid all that tends to disor
der the skin and the functions of all the Or
ganS of the body.
Children must be clothed in flannel the year
round; must be made to know that the staples
of diet are milk, bread, meat, vegetables and
fruit; and that tea, coffee, and pastry of all
kinds are to be used only as the greatest of
luxuries, and, therefore, in small quantities
and at long intervals. Youths Companion.
SODA FOR BURNs.-All kinds of burns, i'll
cluding scalds and sunburns are almost imme-
diately relieved by the application of solu-
ton of soda to the burnt surface.
1t must be remembered that dry soda will
not do, unless it is surrounded with a cloth
moist enough to dissolve it. This method OF
sprinkling it on and covering it with a wet
cloth is often the very best. But it is sufii-
cient to wash the wound repeatedly with Il
strong solution.
1t would be well to keep a bottleOf it always
on hand, made so strong that more or less set
ties on the bottom This is what is called Il
saturated solution; and, really, such solution
as this is formed when the dry soda is slrinkled
on and covered with Il moistened cloth.
1t is thought by some that the i'tin of a
burn is caused by the hardening of the allu-
men of the flesh which presses on the nerves,
and that the soda disSolveS the albumen and
relieves the pressure. Others think that the
burn generates All acrid acid, which the soda
neutraliZes.

"STAND-BYs" AND "STAND-oFFs''-"The
Stand-bys' of our churches need agood word
now and then. They will continue to come
and work whether they are commended or not.
Their devotion is of healthier kind than that
which has to be fed on t1attery and praise.
But they deserve honorable mention. They
are always at church, near the front, looking
pleasant and speaking encouragingly. They
come not only ''to be ministered unto, but to
mipister.'' The pastor knows not their faces
merely, but their hearts. He sees them at ev
cry meeting, and has their help in every good
work Many time, in secret, he thanks God
for them, and begs a blessing on their devo-
ton. They are not a few, though entirely too
few. We can't do anything without them,
and it is such a pleasure and help to have
them, we would not. God bless the faithful
few who stand by the cause.
There is another class larger than this, the
''stand-offs'' of our churches. They fulfill the
mission they have undertaken, and they fulfill
it with painful perseverance. The pastor
knows the chronic frown their faces have
worn ever since they joined the church. They
are the discouraged and discouraging division
of the church militant 1t is impossible to do
anything with them; they have taken stand,
but it is the ''stand-otf ."-Centrat Baptist.

CORRECT SPEECH.-Nothing bespeaks a
true lady or gentleman or well-bred child
more than the use of correct language pure,
clean speech. Cultivate good English in ev.
ery.day conversation. Unclean speech is in
keeping with smutty face, begrimmed hands
and soled clothes. Strange how easily, how
unconsciously, one slides into careless, slip.
shod way of talking, even when the rules Of
grammar are quite familiar. 1t is not un-
common to find people learned in all the rules
of syntax who apply them to the art Of wri.
ting, yet habitualIy talk incorrectly. Early
culture and association with refined persons
are quite essential to give purity to speech ;
but if one has been unfortunately deprived
of these he should continually watch his
words till he gets in the habit of using decent
English, for nothing SO mistakably marks one
with vulgarity, no matter how elegant is the
outside covering, as shabby, low born speech.
By The Kansas Pioneer gives the following
advice to people who contemplate coming into
the Western country The one thing should
be taken into consideration by those who
come West to seek home and that is, this
country is not filled with milk and honey,
and he who succeeds must of necessity have
learned economy and the great lesson of liv.
ing within ones means. One is apt, when he
comes to the country and comes in possession
of his first farm, to imagine that living and
wealth follow as easily. Right here is where
the mistake comes in. 1t takes hardship and
very many self denials to succeed in this
country as well as it does in the most thickly
settled Eastern States, and those who cannot
come here fully realizing the fact that they
must endure many privations, then it will be
better for them to stay away.

On THE WAY.-A Scotchman was dying in
Scotland. 1t was a Sabbath evening. His
daughter, Nellie, sat by his bedside. The
church bells began to ring for the Sabbath
evening service, and the old man in his dying
dream thought he was on his way to the
church, through the cold, across the bridge,
over the river, and he said: 'Hark, the bells
are ringing, my lads, the bells are ringing; we
will be late to church make the horse strike
out swiftly" And then the old man shiver-
ed and he said, ''Bring the buffalo robes up
closer, my lads. 1t is cold but we shall soon
be there, we shall soon be at the churcll-We
shall soon be over the river, my lads--we are
there now," he said, with smile. lie could
afford to smile, for he had reached the church,
not the church on earth, but the Church OF
God on high Over the river there God hush
ed that old man to sleep. AS one whom his
mother comforteth, so God cOmforted him.
nsgs How beautifully it is ordered, that as
many thousands works for one, SO must every
individual bring his labor to make the whole!
The highest is not to despise the lowest, nor the
lowest to envy the highest each must live III
all and 10y all. Who will not work, neither
shall he eat. So God has ordered that men,
being in need of each other, should learn to
love each other and bear each others burdens.
az All nature around us seems to proclaim
that each and everything has for its own the
happiness, first Of man and then OF the lower
animals But none of these things can an

instead of blessings, they become curses In
stead of happiness, they produce misery.

silver mining in Maine.

"But suppose were to die?" said
the lady jocularly.
"Well, it wouldn't be a very great
loss," was the smiling response.
And Immediately the smiling clerk
gathered from the indignant flash on
the Iady's face that he had been mis-
understood, and before be could as

What Isrete Harte said.

Brete Harte said, among other
things, before the royal academy, in
response to the toast of Literature:
Il recognize your appreciation Of
what is said to be distinctive Ameri-
can literature-a literature which
laughs with the American skies, and
is by turns as surprising and as ex-
travagant as the American weather.
Indeed, am not certain that these
cyclones of American humor that cross
the Atlantic are not as providential as
the American storms that mitigate the
austere monotony Of the English
climate. For il has been settled by
your reviewers that American litera-
ture is American humor, and that this
American humor is kind of laugh
able improperly, more or less scantily
clothed in words. 1t has been settled
that you are sober people, and that
nobody in America takes life seriously
not even the highwayman-and that
our literature is icfex of our life.n

Crops Injured by Winds.

Strong winds last week did great
injury to the wheat crops Ill some sec
tions of California. The damage is
variously estimated at from one-fourth
to one-third of the entire yield of Stock
ton county. Farmers in the neighbor-
hood of Collegeville estimate the loss
at one-third, while in other parts of the
county, particularly on the lighter soils,
it is believed it will not be diminished
less than one-fourth. There has been
no late danger of overflow whatever
over Roberts Island. The water has
been foot lower than during the
