How Colds are Caught.

A great many cannot see why it is
they do not take cold when exposed
in cold winds and rain. The fact is,
and it ought to be more generally
understood, that nearly every cold is
contracted indoors. and is not directly
due to the cold outside, but to the heat
inside. A man will 60 to bed at night
feeling as we'll as usual and get up in
the morning with a royal cold. He
goes peeking around in search of cracks
and keyholes and tiny drafts. Weather
strips are procured and the house made
as tight as a fruit can. In few days
more the whole family has colds.
Let a man go home tired or exhaus-
ted, eat q full supper Of starchy and
vegetable food, occupy his mind lnten-
tiy for a while, go to bed in warm,
close room, and if he doesn't have a
cold in the morning it will be wonder.
A drink of whiskey or glass or two Of
beer before supper will facilitate mat
ters very much.
People swallow more colds down
their throats than they infSale or receive
from contact with the air, no matter
how cold OF chilly it may be. Plain,
hearty suppers are good to go to bed on,
and are far more conductive to refresh
ing sleep than q glass Of beer or q dose
of chloral. In the estimation Of a
great many this statement b rank
heresy, but In the light Of science,
common sense and experience 1t y Cos
pei truth.

A lightning conductor consists essen
TALLY of long piece of metal, pointed
at the end, whose business it Is, not SO
much las most people imagine) to carry
of the flash of lightning harmlessly,
should it happen to strike the house to
which the conductor is attached, but
rather to prevent the occurrence of a
flash at all, by gradually and gently
drawing off the electricity as fast as it
gathers, before 1t has had time to col
lect i'll sufficient force for destructive
discharge. Ii resembles in effect an
overflow pipe, which drains of the sur
plus water Of pond as soon as it runs
in, in such manner as to prevent the
possibility Of an inundation, which
might occur if the water were allowed
to collect in force behind dam or en-
bankment. lt is flood gate, not 3
moat: 1t carries away the electricity
of the air quietly to the ground, without
allowing it to gather in sufficient
amount To produce flash Of lightning.
1t might thus be better called light
ning-preventOr than lightning CON-
ductOr; it conducts electricity, but pre-
vents lightning. At first. all lightning
rods used to be made with knobs on
the top, and then the electricity used to
collect at the surface until the electric
force was sufficient to cause a spark.
In those happy days, you had the plea
sure of seeing that the lightning was
actually being drawn off from your
neighbOrhood piecemeal. Knobs, it
was held, must be the best things, be-
cause you could incOntestably see the
sparks striking them with your eyes.
But as time went ON, electricians dis
covered that If you fixed a fine metal
point to the conductor of an electric
machine it was impossible TO get up any
appreciable change, because the electri-
city kept always leaking out by means
of the point. Then it was seen that if
you made your lightning-Tods pointed
at the end, you would be able in the
same way to disslpate your electricity
before 1t ever had time to come to a
head in the shape of lightning. From
that moment the thunderbolt was safely
dead and buried. 1t was urged, indeed
that the attempt thus to rob Heaven OF
its thunders was wicked and impious;
but the common sense of mankind re-
fused to believe that absolute omnipo-
tence could be sensibly dehed by twenty
yards of cylindrical iron tubing.

Sugar I'm Mexico.

Sugar-cane was unknown to the An
cient Mexicans, who make syrup from
honey and maguey juice, and sugar
from cornstalks-much after the man
ner so extensively experimental upon Of
late in the United States. Sugar-0ane
was introduced by the Spania-ds from
the Canary Islands-frst to Santo Do
/ mingo, thence to Cuba, and soon after,
by natural sequence, to Mexico. The
first sugar-canes were planted in this
country in 1920 by Don Pedro de
Athena. The first cylinders were con-
structed by Gonzalo de Velosa. The
first sugar-mills, used at that time by
the Spaniards, were worked by hy-
draulic wheels, and not as now, by
horses. Baron Humboldt, who exam
ined the will Of Cortez, tells US that the
coneueror left several hourishing sugar
va tztioDs NEAR Cuyoaca in the valley
of Mexico, where now lowing, it Is sup
posed, to the cutting down of the tTees)
the cold is too great for one to grow.
The hacienda of Atlacamulco, like
many others, in Mexico, Is little king
dom within itself, quite independant of
all the world. Its fort-like walls are
strong enough to stand sleges, and
within them are buildings enough to
form a respectable village. Besides
the usual number, hacienda adds a
house for boiling sugar, whose furnaces
blaze night and day; house with ma
chinery for extracting the juice of the
cane, refining rooms, drying sheds, etc.,
all on the largest and most generous
scale. This being also coffee planta-
tion, there is a great mill for separating
the beans from the chat, sheds in which
the coffee is dried and assorted, and a
distillery where aguardiente (rum) is
made from the refuse Of the sugar mills.
Men, poems and horses are counted by
the hundreds here, and the owner Is alb
selute monarch of all lie surveys. Be-
sides fields of sugar-cane stretching
away as far as the eye can reach, are
coffee groves containing fifty thousand
young and vigorous plants; plains upon
which unnumbered horses and cattle
range, beside miles of uncultivated land
where deer, quail and other small game
find happy hunting ground" About
eighteen miles from Cuernavala are the
temple and fortress of XOchicalco, one
of the most remarkable ruins In Mexico,
They lie upon rocky eminence almost
league in circumference, which is cut
into regular terraces faced with stone.
The temple ON its summit is seventy-fve
by sixty three feet in area, Of hewn
granite, beautifully sculptured, and was
constructed In the usual pyramidal-ter-
raced form. But, sad to say, this tenn
pie Of unknown gods, where pagan
priests performed their sacrifices, has
been desecrated by modern vandals, and
is used as a sugar factory. In this IA
vored region everybody's thoughts turn
TO sugar-making, as naturally as spooks
fly upward. 1t Is asserted that here
crops may be reaped within a year af-
ter the cuttings are planted.

The Sedan Chair.

The sedan chair seems to have origin
ated in England, and WAS brought from
London to Paris by NJ. de MOnbrun in
the time of Louis XII. After the fire
of London, in 1866, the streets were
impossible, and 80 people of quality
went on their business or pleasure in
sedan chairs. They became in time
such nuisance as to Obstruct the high
ways. Sedan chairs continued in use
in Paris up to the time Of the Revolu-
ton, and possibly longer in the prOyin-
ces. When the Duchess of Nemours
went in state from the French capital
to her prlncipality Of Neufchatel she
undertook a journey of twelve days in
a sedan chair. and her august person
was ''toted" by relays of carriers, forty
in number. 1t was thought to enhance
the high quality of the person in the
chair to have what was called an abOy-
eur, OF bowler He kept some distance
in the lead and cried out: Make room
for Madame la Marquise, 1" or Madame
la PreSidentel" In the musee of the
Trianon several sedan chairs have been
preserved. Nine, de Polignac, to COM
memorate French naval victory, had
a mast and sail rugged on her chair and
so paraded Paris.

Every mother ought to teach her
daughter practically how to keep her
house in order; how to make bread and
do all kinds of cooking; how TO econo-
mlze so as to make little go a great
way; how to spread an air Of neatness
and comfort over her household; how
to make and mend her husbands
clothes; in a word, how to be a good
housekeeper. Then, if she has no do
mestics, she can make her family happy
without them; if she has domestics,
she can effectuany teach them to do
things as they ought to be done, and
make them obey her. She can then
direct her domestic affairs, and be mis-
tress Of her own house; which, sad to
say, too many In these times are not.
Domestics soon ascertain whether their
mistress knows how to do things, and
if she does not they have her in their
power, and almost always take advan-
tage of it. But do not get the false
notion that the domestic virtues Of q
woman preclude the highest and most
accomplished education, Some OF the
most intelligent, refined and finished
ladies in the land have been the most
excellent housekeepers.
