What Is q Cold

In the first place, we must be para
doxical, and affirm that it is not cold
at all. It is rather heat, if I might
so express myself-that is, it is form
of fever, but, of course, Of q very mild
type, when it is uncomplicated by other
diseases. It is certainly, in the ma
jority of instances, due to the effects of
cold playing upon some portion Of the
body, and reacting upon the mucous
membrane through the intervention of
the nervous apparatus. What is called
a cold, then, is in reality fever; and
though, in the majority Of instances, it
is OF such trivial nature as to necessi-
tate few precautions being taken during
its attack, yet in some cases it runs q
most acute course, and may be followed
by great prostration. Even when the
premonitory symptoms of cold are de-
veloping themselves for exam
pie, what a medical man calls a rigor,
or, as it is popularity designated, shiv-
ering is felt, when we would naturally
suppose that the animal temperature is
below par, it is at that very moment
higher than the normal; thus showing the
onset of fever. Chambers Journal.

Apples as Food.

An exchange states the benefits of
apples to be as follows: "a raw, mel
low apple is digested in an hour and a
half, while boiled cabbage requires five
hours. The most healthy dessert that
can be placed on a table is baked
apple. II eaten frequently at breakfast
with coarse bread and butter, without
meat or flesh of any kind, it has an adj
mirable effect upon the general system,
often removing constipation, correcting
acidities and cooling off febrile conditions

medicines. IF families could be induced
to substitute them for pies, cakes and

are frequently stuffed, there would be q

Putting on a Paper Collar.

One of the saddest comings home is
when the husband and father comes
home to put on paper collar. The
last collar has dissolved into pulpy
rolls and come up back Of his ears or
disappeared within the recesses of his
hair. The shirt band is moist and
helpless and inclined to roll under,
carrying the back button with it.
His neck is wet and slippery, and all
the windows are down, and the door
is drawn to. By the time he has found
the back button and got the collar
hitched to it, it seems as if the air was
about to stifle him, as if he would sud-
denly melt and spoil the carpet. He
sends up the windows with a snap, and
kicks the blinds open with his foot,
and brings that door back with a velo-
city that almost scares it. Then he
goes to work to fasten one Of the ends,

Milton. the Great Poet.

John Milton was blue-eyed, yellow
haired Saxon boy, the type Of the En-
glish race. He was somewhat short,
stout and healthy; his eyes were bright
and sparkling in his youth, before he be-
came blind. But he inherited weakness
Of sight from his mother. He was born
in 1909, in a pleasant house in Bread
street, London, almost under the shadow
Of Bow Bells. It was back in court.
His father, who had made fortune as a
scrivener, was fond Of music, books and
literature, and his son was carefully edu-
Gated at st. Paul's school. Milton re-
lates that he frequently studied in the
house in Bread street until after mid
night, and his head ached and his sight
grew dim with these late vigils. He was
then about II years old.
He was one Of the best scholars at St.
Pauls school, and loved study as most
boys like play. He was eager to know
how mel lived and acted in Greece and
Rome, what they thought Of, and what
they discovered. He studied the rise
and fall Of empires and republics, and
became republican in the midst of
Kings and Princes. He was always fond
of poetry, and soon began to write fine
verses. One of his earliest is his code
on the Nativity" p Ha1pe,'s Young
People.

Ireland's Great Landowners.

The following figures in regard to the
ownership OF Irish land are interesting
One man owns ITO, 900 acres three men
own 100, 600 acres each; fourteen men,
$4,000 acres each !; ninety men, 20, 900
acres each; and 452 men, 5000 acres
each. The Association of Salters own
10000 acres; the Diapers, q, 900 acres;
the Merchants . 9 IAN 81 900 acres the Skin
hers, $4,000 acres; the Fishmongers;
90, 600 acres the Honmongers, 10, 600,
and the Grocers, 10000 acres. It IS
not, therefore, any exaggeration to say
that, Of the 921, 600, 600 which is annual
Irish rental, at least Ell, 00O, 900 is spent
out Of the country and where, as in
the case Of Ireland, the country is not
wealthy, and has no other industry ex-
cept agriculture, this state of things,
until re1nedied, will be productive Of
want and misery. London Truth.

Something About Fans.

Kan 81 was the first lady who carried
fan. She lived in ages which are past,
and, for the most part, forgotten, and
she was the daughter Of a Chinese man
DARN. Who ever saw mandarin, even
on tea-chest, without his fan? In
China and Japan co this day every one
has a fan, and there are fans of all sorts
for everybody. The Japanese waves his
fan at you when he meets you, by way
of greeting, and the beggar who solicits
for aims has the exceedingly small coin
"made on purpose - for charity present.
ed to him on the tip of the fan.
In ancient times, among the Greeks
and Romans, fans seem to have been
enormous they were generally made of
feathers, and carried by slaves over the
heads Of their masters and misstresses,
to protect them from the Gun, or waved
about before them to stir the air.
Catherine de Medicis carried the first
folding fan ever seen in France; and, in
the time of Louis XIV, the fan was a
gorgeous thing, often covered with Jew
els, and worth small fortune. In En-
gland they were the fashion in the time
Of Henry VIII. All his many wives

was once given to Queen Elizabeth upon
New Years day.
The Mexican feather fans which Cor
tez had from Montezuma were marvels
of beauty, and in Spain large black
fan is the favorite. It is said that the
use of the fan is as carefully taught in
that country as any other branch of
education, and that, by well known
code of signals, a Spanish lady can carry
on long conversation with any one, es-
pecially an admirer.
The japanese criminal Of rank is po-
litely executed by means of a fan. On
being sentenced to death he is presented
with a fan, which he must receive with
low bow, and, as he bows, presto the
executioner draws his sword and cuts
his head off, In fact there is fan fol-
every occasion in Japan. Harper's

Funny.

One is very fortunate if he has wit
enough to get out of a funny dilemma
without being laughed at. The poor
Teutonic musician Of whom the follow
ing story is told by Southern doctor of
divinity was not one Of these fortunate
ones. .....
The doctor was pastor of a fine city
church. The organ loft and choir gal
lery were Immediately in the rear of the
pulpit, and a little elevated above it.
The organist wasa German, who, though
fine performer, was not remarkable
for presence of mint, and was easily
disconnected.
The hour for afternoon service had ar
rived, and, though the organist was in
his place, the choir had not arrived. By
some mishap, also, the key of the organ
had been misplaced.
The minister, not knowing these
facts, solemnly arose, and, after an
nouncing hymn and reading it, took
his seat. There was no response from
the organ or choir. Silence reigned su-
preme. -E.
The minister and congregation became
uneasy. All eyes were turned to the
organ-loft. .-...
At length the organist, with fidgety
manner and very red face, came to
the railing in front of the loft, and in a
tone intended as whisper, but which
was distinctly heard by all, made the
following startling announcement
Mister breecher, mister breecher,
We von't have no singing dis afternoon.
De key not coomed, and de lady vat
sings de sobrano bees not coombed, and
de rest of de people vat sings be not
coomed, and de organ bees not obened,
and We Won't have no singing dis after
noon, mister breecher, OATS So The
effect may be readily imagined.

6 Takes it easy, don't he q said a
sharp-eyed man, patting long, wind
ing mass of clay hanging over a bench.
8 You don't mean that it is alive 2"
Well, I should say so. Look here, .
he replied, and picking away little
clay at one end bright, bead-like eye
appeared, and forked tongue that
darted out for second belonged to a
rattlesnake.
The cast-taker was Joe Palmer, en-
ployed by the Smithsonian Institution
to restore animals, etc.
The qualifications of the animal sculp-
tor who works from life models are var
led. Artistic talent, cool head and
steady nerves are indispensable, es-
pecially when the subject is q rattle
snake or a copperhead. Reproducing a
snake IN clay in former times, and pre-
serving ifelike proportions, was an i'm
mense work, many of the scales having
to be worked over and over with instru-
ments for the purpose; but now the
operation is much more simple, although
dangerous. A living snake is chloro-
formed, and, after it is completely I'M
der the influence, placed on a limb or in
a coil. and plaster quickly put on. If it
shows signs of consciousness before the
clay has hardened properly, more chloro-
form is given, and finally the cast is
cut off and ready for the mold, which,
when completed, is painted, making a
perfect fac smile. The operation is not
always conducted easily. A copperhead
came to- one day suddenly, and,
throwing the clay aside, made dash for
liberty that created a stampede. He
was recaptured later.
Among the larger animals are dol
phins, porpoises, grampuses, and the
white whale that was in the New York
Aquarium. Twenty or thirty heads
standing on the top of the cases in the
Archaeological Hall attract, considerable
attention from the variety of expression
shown. In one the lips are drawn
tightly together, and determination is
shown in every ineament Another
looks as if it had lost all hope while in
others, fear, rage, establishment, disgust
and logged imperturbability are seen.
They are the heads of band of Indians
that visited Washington several years
ago, and were coaxed by the sculptor to
undergo the process of cast taking.
They all declined at first, but, the chief
finally consenting, the others followed
suit, and their different emotions as
they sat for an hour with their heads
and faces plastered with clay breathing

HAVE A CARE, AND BEWARE.

There's boy full Of Joy, seldom coy, has . toy
Which consists Of culver and bow;

And his aim is at random, trow.
1t is clear he's queer, little dear, and hear
That his arrows are swift in their fight
Have 3 care, and beware how you dare anywhere
Meet the youngster by day or by night.
Now he brings meath his WINGS slken strings, pretty
things,
And he calls them his true lovers knot.
Which he tries to disguise, rs he ties up his eyes,
Then he's blind as q bat, every jot;
But find, though he's blind, he's inclined oft TO
bind
Maidens' hearts with his gay S cords Of love
30 beware, have . care how you fare when you dare
To commune with this boy as you rove
With glance of romance he'll advance, and enhance
All the virtues that he may possess;
On his knees he will please by degrees he will tease
Then he'll hatter, and soothe and caress.
80 again, to be plain, II you deign to retain
In your Cervice this cherub, say,
Have . care, and beware, he'll dare cen to bear
You in triumph to Hymen one day.
