4 Georgia correspondent says: my
neighbor Odum WIS II the habit OF leav-
ing his large cotton baskets IN tie field
at night. These baskets were at the
end OF the lows and near the public
road. One night lie left seven OF these
baskets II the field, Next morning two
or three OF them were missing. 1T had
rained the night before, and 1t was not
difficult to follow the track of a one
hose wagon that had evidently carried
away the baskets. MIR Odum, with a
trusty negro, who was also interested in
the cotton, pursued, following the track
without difficulty TIL it brought them to
the humble resluence of George Wash
ingtoD, a colored citizen, where they
found cotton spread out upon the floor,
and Wet-evidently but recently placed
there. The mau and his wife denied
that 1t had been stolen; sad Ii was their
own cotton, and so Tar il seemed not
possible to identify the cotton. How
ever, they secured George and then con-
tinUed to follow the wagon track to be
yond the house about half a mile, III the
woods, where they found the wagon and
empty baskets. This was too much for
the namesakc Of the immortal patriot.
BE owned up, and said: "Gentlemen, /
cannot tell he-I stoled dat cotton, /
couldn't help 1t. 1t wasn't my fault. 1t
was Mr.. 0dum's fault. He had no busI
ness to put dat cotton so fair to be took.
/ can't tell no lie bout it, | took dat
cotton, and the only thing dat troubled
me at the time was dat my waggln wasn't
big enough to take all dem baskets. I'd

Odum's fault.

all, food Is not everything; the English,
perhaps, make too much of their dinner
Dinners are good. but there Is better
enjoyment IN health of body and con-
tented mind" He goes on TO say that
in his young days, his people lived spar
ingly and healthlly. He never tasted
wine until he was twenty-five, or beer
before he was grown up. Milk and
whey, or water, were always to be had,
and We did not wish for more, he says.
On his fathers farm, IN his youth, were
two Onagi, or poorpeople, who had been
allotsd to the farm In accordance with
the Icelandic custom OF treating the
poor. One of them was an old
woman, the other young girl of his

Winner Clothing,

The honsekeeper should not forget
that cold enervates more than want of
food. A person staryes 10y cold as much
as by want Of food. and If is perfectly
correct when one says he is starved with
cold. Food warns the body, ard more
food is required in cold weather than in
warm, because there is greater waste
OF heat from the body In winter, and
this consumes the food. If, then, one
Is exposed to great cold the body be-
CONES situated and starved. This is the
reason why animals do not grow in the
winter, and children and persons are
quite as subject TO these influences as
any other animals The lower limbs,
the stomach, and the back between the
shoulders are the parts most easily and
ihIuriously affected by cold. Young
children should have tight fighting gar
meuts and a double thickness OF flannel
stitched into the back of the upper gar-
meHt Of either old or young will protect
the lungs and save great loss of heat.
The feet and ankles should be kept warm
and dry. Those who are required to go
out into the Snow should have their
boots made waterproof, and wear a
thick and dry wooilen knitted stocking.
Socks are AN unfortunate fashion. The
long stocking Is much better protection,
and If the drawers of children tie or
button closely below the knee they will
be vel protected from the cold. Under
clothing Is better than extra oven cloth
ing. The warmth is required at the
SKIN, and the skin is better and more
regularly and constantly warmed by
Undertaking than 10y outer garments,
winch are sometimes thrown off when
they should be kept ol. THIS is par
tIcularly w'lth nothing 10y women who
are 80 often required to go ont from a
warm room into the cold outer air when
the keen wind Is blowing, and who will
not be bothered to put on a shawl or a
warm Jacket

BREED UP.-If 4 Common COW has the
marks of good mixer it is wisdom 10
breed from her. Whether or not her calf

is here, too, where the value of register
ed pedigree is apparent The fact that a
book contains brief statement OF the an
cestois OF an animal is nothing of Itself.
But the fact that 1t tells that en- animal has

DR.. BroWn Sequdrd has recently made
the interesting discovery that in certain
ANIMALS complete local arasthesia of the
larynx, accompanied by incomplete general
al nesthesia, may be obtained by directing
on TO the upper part of that organ rapid
current of carbOnic acid during period of
fifteen seconds to two or three minutes.
The ana thesia lasts from two to eight
minutes after stepping the current DR..
Sequard proposes to experiment on the hu-
MAJ ubject by introducing carbonic scid
through the mouth or nostrils. This SIN
guIsr action of the acid may perhaps throw
some light on the sedstIve acton Of aerated
waters In vomiting and nausea.
