we saw and realized how near we had
come to death.
Cine of these great pines had broken
off at q "scald," CLOSE down to the
ground, and had fallen. In falling it
had swept down with it the great dry
stub.

with its great branches had broken off
and driven deep down into the frozen
earth, and lay within foot OF that side
of the shanty in which the door was !;
while on the other side LAY the great, dry
stub, splintered and split by its fall
There was just the width of the little
camp between them! If either had fallen
on it, the camp would have been crushed

1t blew furiously all the rest of the
night, or rather morning, bat slackened
somewhat as the forenoon advarc ed. By
ten o'clock we climbed out of our camp
and set off down the brook. But it was
slow walking. Fully two feet of snow
had fallen since five o'clock the previous
afternoon.
We were fully two hours getting down
TO Dunhalns open. There we found the
flock of eighty odd sheep in the shelter
of fir add hemlock thicket. On the east
side of The clearing, and with the sheep
were two deer-a doe and half grown
fawn. They we're not caribou, but COM
mon red deer, which had joinel the
sheep either during the storm or pre,i
ously.
We attempted to start the sheep home
ward; but the snow was so deep that We
were OBJ iged to leave tbs IN there for that
day.
The deer did not run away, but kept
huddled in With the sheep moving as
they moved. and we left them in the
flock.
1t was about two in the afternoon
when we rea shed home. So furious had
been the storm, ont in the cleared land.

it prudent to start out in search of us till

he and father were about setting off to

When the cold commences in til

severe one, take ten grains OF Dovers

The Bereaved Grandpapa.

Isn't it pretty?" said little old man
as he wheeled q baby carriage to the
place where reporter of the World was
sitting in the park recently.
ct must be pretty" said the reporter,
looking into the carriage and seeing q
creature, snugly Destling in downy nest
with its face covered by a delicate lace
veil.
The little old man was delighted, his
little old chin went twit -twit-a-twee,
and he chirped like bird.
They keep its face covered" he said,
with a sigh. "since the little white
hearse drove away from the house the
other day. But /"
The little old man stopped and looked
eyes.
II will show its face to you, sir, it's so
very, very pretty"
went twit-a-twee.
They will be angry" he continued,
"but I'm so proud of its pretty face that
l must show it,"
Suddenly the little old man took the
lace that covered the baby's face in his
trembling fingers and the reporter pre-
pared to burst into ordinations Of de-
light even if the face should prove to be
the homeliest face in the world.
Mustn't" little child said, coming
from behind the bushes and Selling the
coattails Of the little man. ''Danpa
mustn't"
The flies will annoy Rose" gentle
girl of twelve said, joining the little
group and carefully replacing the lace.
Close observation showed tear trem-
bling in the girls eye as the little old
man wheeled away the carriage, with the
little child dancing by his side.
"Oh, it's such deception" she ex-
clai ned, burying her face in her hands.
baby Rose died last week, she con-
tinued, ''and we are afraid to tell grand
pa. as his mind is weak and she was his
idol, SO we put doll in the carriage,
closely veiled, so he cannot see its face,
and let him wheel it around. But it is so
deceptive"
just then the little old man paused,
left the little child with the carriage, and
came back to where the girl was seated.
He put his face close to hers and whis-
pered:
What was it," he asked, that they
carried away In the little white hearse?"
The poor girl turned away her face.
Flowers" she said, ''only flowers,
grandpa"
II wonder" the little old man unused,
why they oil turn their faces away
when they tell me what they carried
away in the little white hearse."
Then he went to the carriage again and
chirped like the merry little old man that
he was.

heard him murmur, as he wheeled the
doll away.-N. Y. World.

Coarse Bread, or Fine.

Messrs. Lawes and Gilbert communi-
Gated q paper to the Journal of the
Chemical Society, several years ago, on
the use of coarse and fine -four in bread
making, from which we extract the fol-
lowing, as giving q summary of the re-
suits of their Investigations:
The higher percentage Of nitrogen in
bran than in fine -four has frequently led
to the recommendation Of the coarser
breads as more nutritious than the finer.
We have already seen that the more
branny portions OF the grain also contain
q much larger percentage of mineral
matter. 1t is, however, We
think, very questionable, whether, upon
such data alone, valid opinion can be
formed Of the comparative values, as
food, of bread made from the finer or
coarser hours from one and the same
grain. Again: it is an indis-
putable fact that branny PARTICLES, when
admitted into the -four in the degree OF
imperfect division in which our ordinary
milling processes leave them, very con.
siderably increase the peristaltic action,
and hsnce the alimentary canal is cleared
much more rapidly of its contents. 1t is
also we'll known that the poorer classes
almost invariably prefer the winter
bread; and among some of them who
work the hardest, and who consequently
would soonest appreciate difference in
nutritive quality (navvies, for example),
it is distinctly stated that their prefer
ence for the whittier tread is founded on
the fact the brown passes through
them too rapidly, consequently before
their systems have extracted from il as

much useful nutritious matter is, in the
first instance, lost as human food, in the

mails. It should be remem bercd, how
ever, that the amount of food so applied
is by no means entirely wasted. And,
furth, y. ae think it more than doubtful,
even admitting that an increased proper
ton Of mineral and heterogeneous constitu
ents would be an advantage, whether,
unless the branny particles could be
either excluded, or 80 reduced as to pre-
vent the clearing action above alluded to,
more putriment would not be lost to the
system OF this action that would be
gained by the introduction into the body.
coincidentally with it, OF larger and ac-
tual amount Of supposed nutritious mat
ters. In fact, all experience tends to
show that the state, as we'll as the chem
ical composition of our food, must be
considered; in other words. that its di-
gestibility, and aptitude for assimilation,
are not less important qualities than its
ultimate composition.
"'Of course says the Boston Journal
OF Chemistry, the az orient action of the
branny portions of the wheat has a value
of its own in the case of persons of con-
stipated tendencies; but this is a medi-

Billy M'Glery's Friend.

pensively down Broadway about 5
o'clock in the evening. He was attired

and such was he taken to be by q we'll
dressed young man with q dark mus
tsche, whose profession is to lead coun-
trymen against the pleasant and seduc-
dive game of bunko. The young man
rushed up to McGlory, his face express
ing the utmost qualification and delight.
and Selling his hand shook it warmly.
"Why, Mr.. Harris" he shouted, with
unaffected pleasure in his tones, when
did you get in from Cleveland?"
For q moment Mr. .McG Glory was speech.

II saw your brother last week, and he

Mr.. McGlory recovered his powers Of
speech and replied:
"Yes, met your brother "a I vas
comm in on the railroad track. He told
me that"
But the young man failed to note the
sarcasm in his tones, and interrupted:
II was just going to the hotel to look
for you. Shall We take little stroll?"
This is the first time I've ever been
in New York" replied the proprietor OF
Armory Hall somewhat irrelevantly,
glazing mp at the Gilsey House. "What
awfully high buildings they have here"
Yes" replied the black mustached
young man affahly. "Some Of them are
as much as ten stories high. Ishoud-"
Would you drop if one OF 'em fell on

tenance of the gentleman in the forck

Something about Colds.

What is the most common OF all dis
eases in our climate? A cold.
Are colds durable? Strictly speaking,
no. After it is fully developed, have
never known q cold to be cured by med
zeal treatment. The disease runs
through certain course, and in the pop
ulsr phrase, "cures itself" after q greater
or less degree Of suffering on the part of
the patient. 1t is, in the scientific
phrase, one Of the "self.limited" dis
eases. But sometimes, when . damaged
organ is attacked, cold may terminate
less neutrality-suspicious. in pneumonia
or pleurisy, or even in consumption.
More frequently succession of neg
lected colds brings on chronic catarrh, u
complaint that is particularly frequent in
our trying climate.
But if we cannot actually cure cold
after it is fully developed, it is all the
more important that we should be able
to do one or two things with it-first, to
cut 1t short at the outset, before the dis
ease has time to develop itself; or Sec
ond, to prevent its running on into any
of the bad consequences that l have
named.
We will look at these cases separately.
And first, what is the nature Of this dis
ease which / have called incurable, but
which can still be checked in many cases
at the outset, or even. il it should run
its usual course, may be controlled as to
its consequences?
A cold Is AN Inflammation, attended by
more or less fever; its usual cause is ex-
posure to q drsught. and especially ex-
posture of the feet or of the throat. 1t
attacks the lining membrane Of the nos
trachea and bronchi, or more than one Of
these regions; and we ordinarily speak Of
these three forms as cold in the head,
sore throat and cold in the chest. A cold
in the head begins with sneezing and
deAuxion," or q discharge from the
nostrils; q cold in the throat, with
hoarseness and sore glands; cold in the
chest, with cough. Either form often
runs into one or both Of the other forms,
but it is important to distinguish them
at the outset. IS l shall point out in
speaking of the treatment.

When the cold begins Tin the head"
with sneezing, watery eyes and deAuc

A Club Room Scene.

A story is going the round of the Lon don clubs of which Luke. who was at one time Tweed's valet, and is now the valet of a well-known American in Lon don, is the hero.
 A young gentleman, fearing he might play and drink too heavily at club he was about to visit, induced Luke to ac- company him to bring him safely hom e Arrived at the club, permission was ob- tained that Luke should remain in the card-room, instead of being sent to the servants waiting-room. As the night wore on and the players became excited and boisterous, one of them, who was losing largely, began swearing at everything in general, and at Luke il particular, and inquired several times ''what bushes the internal nigger had that room." Luke said nothing for g long time, but as the young man did moi seem inclined to drop the matter, but grew more emphatic in his demand that the nigger be removed, Luke finally took a card from his pocket, and with great dignity placed it on the table say. ing:
 "There, sir, is my card. If you want any satisfaction you can find me. You are loafer, sir but I am a born niggel gentleman" and, while the players were recovering from their amazement, walked coolly away.

Freezing.

The pleasures of freezing are set forth by Canadian physician, who lately en- joyed them. His tongue, and then his arms became stiff, sharp chills ran down his back, and finally it seemed as though his whole body congealed, causing an al- most entire cessation of the hearts action. This condition of suffering speedily gave place to grateful warmth, which seemed to suffuse the system and cause an ex- hilerating glow. He was driving, and by this time had reached a house, but he went on, thinking that nothing was to be feared. The sleigh appeared to him to glide through the sir with great swift ness, and the horses flew like birds. A sense of exaltation filled him, and he urged the beasts to greater speed. The woods on each side of the road were passed so quickly that they became in- distinguishable black lines. The jingle of the bells sounded further and further away until they passed out of hearing in the distance. He fell gradually into a delicious slumber, which came near be- ing the sleep of death.

Storing Vegetables.

In storing vegetables, potatoes in a cool cellar, or buried in the ground, kept perfectly, the temperature at 38 to 40 degrees. Celery is more apt to be in- jured by heat than by cold; it has been well kept in moss. One speaker packs his, close as possible, upright in trench as deep as the height of the plants, cov- CTS with straw or hay and roof of boards like the letter V inverted. Grape gratis should be kept dormant and be set, below ground, after the stock has got well started. In strawberries the Sharpless was accorded the chief place in the Northern part of the State, and as far South as Bridgeton one crop was sold at Is cents per quart, while other sorts brought only cents. The second crop seemed to be best. The presidents plot was heavily manured and well cared for, one feature being mulching in winter with compost of muck and slaughter house manure. Primo is promising as to growth Crystal City small and few in number; Warren variable; Mount Vernon best with one and total failure with another, though treated to forty loads of stable manure per acre, and well treated in other respects. Experience with Glendale is very variable. Man chester bids fair to take front rank as market berry, having all the keeping and carrying qualities of the Wilson, and much superior in flavor, while the growth and vigor of the plant are equal to Sharp less. Gypsy, exceptionally uniform in size and shape, one of the most produc- tive of the we'll known kinds. BidweD seems to demand good treatment and hill culture.
