The Treatment for a Cold.

The Nonthy Nagazine (London) re-
ports DR.. Graham as saying that it is not
a correct practice, after a cold is caught,
to make the room person sits in much
warmer than usual, to increase the guam
tity of bed clothes, wrap up III flannel,
and drink a large quantity of hot tea,
cruel. on other slops, because it will IN
variablv increase the feverishness, and,
in the majority of instances, prolOng
rather than lessen the duration of the
cold. 1t is we'll known that cOnfining
inOculated persons in warm rooms will
make their smallpox more violent by
augmenting the general heat and fever ;
and it is for the same reason that a SINH
lar practice in the present complaint IS
attended with analogous results, cold
being in reality slight fever. In some
parts of England, among the lower order
Of the people, a large glass of cold spring
water, taken on going to bed, is foundto
be a successful remedy, and in fact many
medical practitioners recommend a re-
duced atmosphere and frequent draughts
of cold fluid as the most etficacious rem
edy for a recent cold, particularly when
the patients habit is full and plethOric
DR.. Graham further says:
It is generally supposed that it is the
exposure to a cold OF wet atmosphere
which produces the effect called cold,
whereas it is returning to a warm tenn
peraturc after exposure which is the real
cause of the evil When a person i'll the
cold weather goes into the open air,
every time he draws in his breath the
cold air passes through his nOstrils and
windpipe into the lungs, and, conse-
Quently. diminishes the heat i'll these
parts. As long as the person continues
in the cold air, he feels no bad effects
from it : but as soon as he returns home,
he approaches the fire to warm himself,
and very often takes some warm and
comfortable drink to keep out the cold,
as it is said. The inevitable consequence
is. that he will find that he has taken
cold. He feels a shivering which makes
him draw nearer the fire, but all to no
purpose; the more he tries to heat him
self. the more he chiils. All the mischief
is here caused by the violent action OF
the heat.
To avoid this when you come out OF a
very cold atmosphere, you should not at
first 90 into Il room that has Il fire in it.
or if you cannot avoid that, you should
keep for considerable time at as great
a distance as possible, and, above all,
refrain from taking warm or strong IL
quors when you are cold. This rule IS
founded on the same principle as the
treatment of any part of the body when
frost bitten. If it We're brought to the
fire it would soon mortify, whereas, if
rubbed with snow, no bad consequences
follow from it. Hence, if the following
rule were strictly observed-when the
whole body, or any part of it, is chilled,
bring it to its natural feeling and warmth
10y degrees-the frequent colds we eX-
perience in winter would i'll great meas
ure be prevented.

"BY HIS F'RIEND. "

A slanting slab of stone,
With MOSES overgrown.
Stands sentinel, alone.
Ger a mound;
Stray letters, half erased,
But family can be traced
Where shadows. interlaced.
Flutter round.
The legend is but brief
No long-drawn words of grief
Beneath the wheaton sheaf
Make sad show;
A simple name and date
His British birth relate
And tell when the cruel fate
Laid him low.
Hold. Something more is here,
Concealed by grasses sere-
Letters that once were clear,
At the end;
The MOSES pluck aside =
"This stone, with loving pride,
Tribute TO him who died,
BY his friend"
All, Time Thine envious tooth,
Gnawing, devoid of ruth,
At stone and clay, forsooth.
Havoc makes;
Yet, though the letters fade.
And shrink, as if afraid,
Into the slab decayed,
Friendship wakes.
Long since forgot are they
Both friends returned to clay:
Yet in this later day
Endless youth
Is given the tenderness,
Love. and sweet thoughtfulness
Which those few words express
In their truth.
Thus chances it that I
Strolling but idly by
Where the dead buried lie
Feel my heart
Touched by the love they gave
Hearts that so close here clave
That cen death and the grave

4 NeWSdealer's DeYiCe.

For some time past a prominent news
dealer not many rods from the old
Albany depot, in Boston, has had con-
siderable trouble with a crowd of young
fellows who make their loafng place on
a corner near his paper stand. He has
tried in vain many different ways to
drive them from that place. He became
so enraged at them Il few days ago, after
exhausting his efforts in trying to clear
them away, he started in search of one
of the bIue-coated guardians. After
walking up and down many OF the
streets in the vicinity and not finding
the object of his search, he returned to
his stand fully resolved to invent some
means by which he would be successful
in the work he set out to do. After
some days of careful studying, he
thought of an invention that he believed
would accomplish his design, and set
about putting it in operation. At noon
time the other day, when the large null
titude of people who daily pass by on
their way from work to their dinners, he
displayed over his stand a sign which
measured about three feet square, on
which was written in blue ink the follow
ing notice, which showed that the writer
was careful about his punctuation
marks
WANTED.
A Policeman who knows all the side
doors of the liquor stores and who can
stand up to the bar and drink his whisky
and still attend to his duty He must
also be in with a gang of thieves which
infest the neighborhood. Also wanted
twenty-five lOafers to stand on the corner
and spit tobacco over the sidewalk.
As may be imagined, hardly a passer
by but stopped and read with amuse-
ment the odd sign. The teamsters, too,
stopped their teams and read it. and in a
short time a large crowd had collected
about his stand. The officer on the
route, seeing the large crowd gathered
about the stand, hurried to the spot,
thinking a lively row was going on and
his valuable assistance was needed
Great was his surprise when he rushed
into the crowd and saw everything was
all right. Casting his eye i'll the direc-
ton i'll which the crowd was looking he
saw the sign. After carefully reading it,
he several times requested the newsman
to take it down, but his request was re-
fused. How successful this enterprising
dealer will be with his new
invention remains to be seen.-B0stO1a

| The statistics of crime in the Unite
States during the past year present some
| significant features. There has been an
average of two murders day throughout
the year, while the executions have
averaged only two week. Remembering
the results of recent murder trials and
the influence of a false and sckly senti-
mentality this disproportion is not sur
prising, but it nevertheless affords ground
for serious reflection. There have been
| fifty-seven lynchings. Considering our
enormous population, vast stretc h of
territory, and the comp aratively lawless
character of the sections in the south and
west where nearly all these lynchings
have occurred, their number certainly
gives no reason for regarding lynch law
as an inevitable accompaniment of Amer
lean life. Nor does the south present
such CHASTITY showing as it has been the
fashion to attribute to that section. Of
the $50 murders of the year only 2l2 were
committed in the entire south, while
there were 1871 murders In New York
state alone, of which seventy.six were in
this city and fourteen in Brooklyn. Of
the 101 executions during the year, fifty
three, or more than half, took place in
one-third or one-quarter of the murders!
while in New York state. in which about
one.sixth of the total number of murders
took,place. there were only four executions.
Thiswould seem to indicate that tho law
takes its course in the south as we'll as
the north. and that the legal punishment
of homicide in the former section is by
no means rarity. The number of
lynchings was fifty-seven, Colorado leading
with six, while there were twenty-five in
all the southern states. OF the 1888 suicides
of the year, 1913 took their lives in this
city, and &c in Brooklyn; New York state
furnishing 1874, or about half the total
number. Surely here is a call for another
apostle of the gospel of relaxation in this
city. Lynohings New York has been
free from, but taking the rest of the dark
record it must DO said that she appears
to very poor advantage.-M Y. Tribune.
