Care of a Cold.

There are some few constitutions that
need the old remedy Of feeding a cold,
but these are chiefly elderly folks, or
those young ones who never have any
great amount Of vitality at any time.
There is a peculiar hoarse and loose
stomachic cough in middle life, that has
been cured by plentiful sprinklings Of
cayenne pepper over every article Of
food that could bear it, and by good
feeding. Here stimulus was needed.
Here two or four grains of quinine do
good. But for one case where beef es-
sence or beefsteak, with red pepper, is
of use, there are hundred that are re-
ieved by Stacking off digestive work.
The dull, congested lungs and the scar
let throat of an infammatory cold are
very near neighbors to the digestion.
When the bellows are wheezing or
choked, do not put in much work at the
forge Grapes are refreshing and are
said to have a specific action on the
nerves of the throat and lungs. There
fore feed your cold and sore throat ON
grapes. Drink milk for thirst and let it
take the place of all cooked food and Of
all meats. 1t is the one food that is
meat and drink. When there is the
slightest approach to pneumonia, any
thing like a chill or contact with a
chilled surface may be fatal. There
fore do not bring cold milk to such a
sufferer any more than you would ice
water, which has acted as death war
rant before now. Take the chill off the
milk by heating it nearly to scalding
point. Do not let it boil for the few
people who enjoy the taste Of boiled
milk there are many to whom the
"skin'' on the top is disliked. It
should be "milk" warm, that is about
the temperature of blood. There is so
much in nursing congested cold, lung
inflammation, or the heavy cold that
produces nausea, that nursing is half
the cure. Avoid all sudden changes of
temperature or draughts in the room. Do
not throw open the window to air it,
but contrive to secure a supply Of fresh
air in an indirect way. Get the fresh
air into the entry of the next room, and
then coax it into the sick-room, behind
a screen or in such a way that there is
no sudden change in temperature.

The Relief was Mutual

Daniel Webster, travelling had the
night stage from Baltimore to Wash

forbidding visage with very uneasy
mind. He had nearly reasoned his

came to the dark woods between
Bladensburg and w ashington when
Mr., Webster felt the courage oozing
out Of his finger ends as he thought
what a fitting place it was formurder.

Making DiMlples.

A handsome woman, elegantly dressed
entered a Broadway car in which re.
porter was riding, and Immediately, but
unconsciously, diverted the attention Of
dapper little man who sat next the re.
porter, who had been staring out oi
countenance all the other ladies in the
car. The little man, who looked like
something between hair-dresser and &
middle-aged beau, drew a notebook
from his pocket, and, after making &
slight sketch Of the face of the lady who
had just entered the car, said to the re-
porter: Fine woman, that"
The reporter could not but agree with
him.
"What do you think is her special
charm ?" asked the little man.
The reporter thought it might be a
sort of 81 don't know whatness," com.
bination of chic and dignity, her grace
full bearing, her good clothes.
"I was speaking OF her face purely
and simply" interrupted the little man.
"Do you notice how completely her
face is in repose ?"
The reporter answered that he thought
the lady looked as if she didn't take
much interest in any of the other women
In the car.
"Now I will make her smile," con-
tanued the dapper man, and rising, he
turned his back to the occupants of the
Car and blew his nose violently. This
grotesque exhibition of politeness caused
the fine woman" to smile. The dim
pies chased each other over her cheeks
and then slowly disappeared. The little
man resumed his seat in time to catch a
glimpse of the feeting dimples. "What
do you think now ?" he asked.
The reporter thought the lady was
very pretty when she smiled, and that
her face was dimpled as that of a baby
or Vatican shepherdess.
"Those dimples are her particular
charm" said the little man. "She is
handsome without them, beautiful with
them. In five years from to-day-per-
haps before that-when my method be-.
comes known, New York city will be
filed with women who, having been
plain, become pretty, having been pref

Girl Life id India.

On the day of her marriage she is put
into palanquin, shut up tight, and car
ried to her husbands house. Hitherto
she has been the spoiled pet of her
mother; now she is to be the little slave
/ of her mother-in-law, upon whom she is
owait, whose commands she Is implicitly
to obey, and who teaches her what she
is to do to please her husband what
dishes he Likes best and now to cook
them. If the mother-in-law is kind she
will let the girl go home occasionally to
visit her mother.
Of her husband she sees little or moth
ing. She is of no more account to him
than little cat or dog would be. There
is seldom or never any love between
them, and, no matter how cruelty she
may be treated, she can never complain
to her husband of anything his mother
may do, for he would never take his
wife's part. Her husband sends to her
daily the portion of food that is to be
cooked for her, himself and the chill
dren. When it is prepared she places
it all on one large brass platter, and it is
sent to her husbands room. He eats
what he wishes, and then the plat
ter is sent back, with what is left, for
her and the children. They sit together
on the ground and eat the remainder,
having neither knives, forks nor spoons.
While she is young she is never allowed
to go anywhere.
The little girls are married even as
young as years Of age, and, should
the boy to whom such child is mar
ried die the next day, she is called q
widow, and is from henceforth doomed
to perpetual widowhood; she can never
marry again. AS widow she must
never wear any jewelry, never dress her
hair, never sleep on a bed, nothing but
piece Of mating spread on the hard
brick floor, and sometimes, in fact, not
even that between her and the cold
bricks, and, no matter how cold the
night may be, she must have no other
covering than. the thin garment she has
worn in the day.
She must eat but one meal of food
day, and that Of the coarsest kind, and
once in two weeks she must fast for
twenty-four hours. Then not a bit of
food, not a drop Of water OF medicine
must pass her lips, not even if she were
dying. She must never sit down OF
speak IN the presence of her mother-in-
law, unless they command her to do So
Her food must be cooked and eaten apart
from the other women's. She is a dis
graced, degraded woman. She may
never even look on at any of the mar
riage ceremonies or festivals. It would
be an evil omen for her to do so. She
may have been high-ca Brahminic
woman; but, on her becoming widow.
any, even the lowest servant, may order
her to do what they do not like to do.
No woman in the house must ever speak
one word Of love OF pity to her, for it is
supposed that if woman shows tho
slightest commiseration to widow she
will Immediately become one herself.
I saw an account short time ago in
an English paper that they had been
trying to take the census of the popula-
ton lately in India, and, as far as they
had gone, they found that there were

The Reason Why.

1t was a Boston girl who asked
"Why is it that two souls, mated in the
impenetrable mystery of their nativity,
float by each other on the ocean currents
of existence without being instinctively
drawn together, blended and beautifed
in the assimilated alembic of eternal
love?" That is an easy one. It is be-
cause butter is 45 cents pound, and a
good seal-skin sacque costs as high as
$500. The necessaries of life must ex-
perience fall in price before two souls
will readily blend in the assimilated al

How Raisins Are Made in California.

The grapes are allowed to remain on
the vine until of a golden color and
translucent. Then they are picked and
put on wooden trays two by three feet
in size, placed between the rows, sloping
to the sun. When half dried, they are
turned by putting tray on top, and, by
inverting them both, are transferred to
the new tray. When the grapes lose
their ashy appearance, and after remoy-
ing the green ones, the rest are put into
large sweat boxes, placing sheets Of pa:
per between every twenty five pounds Of
raisins. They are left there for two
weeks, when the stems are tough and
the raisins soft The packing follows,
in which iron or steel packing frames
are used, the raisins being assorted,
weighed, inspected and made pre-
sentable.
