A COLI IN THE HEAD.
How to Cure the Most Frequent HI Man
Is Heir to.

The commonest type of cold is that call
ed ''cold in the head, ito distinguish it from
cold on the chest This ''cold in the
head has certain well-marked symptoms
"a feeling of general malaise is expert
enced, often accompanied by a slight fever
ish sickness. Then comes a sensation of
fullness in the head, there is sneezing, a
profuse flow of tears, an irritating and CO.
pious discharge from the nose. This
means that the mucous membrane of the
nose is infiamed, and if this spreads down
the back of the throat, the sufferer becomes
hoarse. The best way to treat this trouble
some complaint is to take a hot drink"
An orange sliced and put into a large cup,
with a little sugar sprinkled over it, and
boiling water poured upon it, and then
drunk as hot as possible, is both pleasant
and beneficial. The feet should be put in
to hot water, with or without a little mus
tard. This foot-bath should be taken at
the bedside; the patient should be well
wrapped up, and a blanket placed across
his knees should be drawn outside the bath
to confine the steam. After keeping the
feet in the water for from five to ten min
utes, the patient should lose no time in get
ting into bed, where he will probably de-
rive great benefit from the general feeling
of warmth and from the flow of perspira-
ton which has been induced. If possible,
at this stage, the patient should remain in
bed for two days, with a fire in his room,
which should be we'll made up at night, so
as to keep a light till morning. But keep
ing in bed will do little good if the patient
persists in holding a newspaper or book to
read, for thereby he is more dangerously
exposed to cold than if he were up, dressed
and going about as usual. The main point
is to keep thoroughly wrapped up and con
stantly warm. Even an uncomfortable de-
gree of heat may be beneficial. - The

A special Notice 10 Our Readers.

THE COTTAGE HEARTH is, as its name indi-
Gates, n home magazine, and to those who are
acquainted with it, needs no higher recommen-
dation than to say it is better than ever before.
For ten years it has had II steady growth both
in circulation and literary quality, and now is
"A most excellent home magazine, crammed full
of good things, among which there is always
something to amuse or instruct every member
of the family. Its poetry is by some of our
very best writer's, its short stories entertain
ing, its descriptive sketches most attractively
written, and its articles on gardening and
other home subjects are ofgreat practical value.
Special features of this interesting magazine
are original stories and poems by the best
merican writers, and among its recent con-
tributors we notice edward Everett Hale, Lucy
Larcom, Celia ThaXter, George Macdonald,
Louise Chandler Moulton, Joaquin Miller,
Mrs. A. NJ. Diaz, hos. S. Collier and r. z. Shil-
laber. Its departments of music, fancy-work,
Horticulture, fashions, receipts and household
hints are filled each month with articles of
great practical worth, and will prove invalua-
BILE to ladies. We would especially ommend
to our young readers the Young Folks De
partment where they will find puzzles and
games, with prizes offered for correct solu-
ton. In fact, the magazine from its old-time
fireplace on its front cover, all through its we'll
printed and Observation-Disclosures pages, is
wholesome and interesting, and taking the
magazine, all in all, we do not see how a family
can get along without its monthly visits. We

THE MOUND BUILDERS As METAL
WORK ERS.

The remains of the mound builders are
placed under four heads: First, mounds;
second, embankments; or ramparts: third,
mines and excavations; fourth, arts and
manufactures
High up on the face of the cliffs along
the canyons of Northern Mexico are the
caves of these curious colonists, close 10
the eyries of eagles, thousands of feet
above the valleys. In some cases a path
Just the width of a human foot leads from
the brink of the cliffs above the mouth Of
the caves, in nearly every instance a ledge
overgrown with shrubbery. In these caves
they lived and died. The embankments
and ramparts are classed as defensive and
religious. The Notifications manifest pro-
gress in the art of war, at least, as advane-
ed as the early Greeks and Trojans. The
religious Enclosures We're usually combi-
nations of geometrical figures, IN which
perfect squares and figures are found.
The mining operations Of the mound
builders were extensive. In the Lake
Superior region they mined copper. In
Missouri galena, and in Mexico iron.
They mined iron in pyrites. Elsewhere
they quarried for mica and porphyry. The
arts and manufactures of this people were
of considerable Importance. After q rude
but effective fashion, they east copper and
iron, from which they not only manufact-
ured weapons, but also ornaments and
coin. They were sol distinguished in wrap
ping amulets in silver that the work could
hardly be distinguished from plating.
Articles worked in gold have also been
discovered in the caves and moands.-Tsco

A VALENTINE.

A Valentine, All, can it be
That some one has addressed to me
These lines, so sweet and tender?
Name or initial is not set
Upon the page, and %yet-and yet
think l know the sender.
What though the writing be disguised,
And many a little trick devised
To aid the M deception,
st. Valentine provides the key
THAI spoils the little mystery
The moment of reception.
We may be right, we may be wrong;
For lack of confirmation strong
We give the rein to fancy,
And let her wander at her will,
And her bright destiny fulfill
In fields of necromancy.
And Valentines would lose their charm
If they at once could doubt disarm
Ere yet the seal was broken;
And so the deeper the disguise,
The more delightful the surprise,
And sweeter is the token.

PANSIES.

They hang upon my wall,
Sweet, slender-stemmed and tall,
Proud purple pansies.
And, tenderly enshrined,
They waken in my mind
A host of fancies.
l seem to see in each
Mouths meet for merry speech,
And eyes that sparkle
Like dews by morning kissed.
When, meath the rosy mist.
The pillows darkle.
One has coy Edith's smiles,
Another half beguiles
My heart to dreaming
That it is Mary's face,
Yelled in a cloud of lace,
That | see beaming.
Mary, whose thoughtful brow
Was white as buds on bough
In bright May weather;
Whose laugh was blithe and clear
As any one may hear
When children gather.
But that was long ago;
Now star-eyed pansies blow
And mourn above her.
Dear flowers she used to yea
Within her sunny hair,
How well you love her.

WINTER PRUNING.
The Right and the Wrong Way of Prur
Ing Orchards In Cold Weather.

The Right and the Wrong Way of Prun-
Ing Orchards in Cold Weather.
An apple orchard which has been
well managed from the beginning,
needs very little pruning afterward.
Needless shoots are rubbed off as soon
as they make their appearance, with n
tenth Of the labor required subsequently
for their removal with the saw. But
this timely work is not always per-
formed, and many trees have become
dense in their tops. 1t is advisable in
such instances to thin them moderately,
and gradually in successive seasons. II
Is common to cut too much at time.
But q greater fault is to thin the interi-
or and leave the outside as thick as
ever. This mass of brush excludes the
sunlight, the twigs and leaves are small
and crowded, and as a consequence the
fruit is small and defective. The tree
being made taller by this treatment,
and the branches successively run up to
q height, the fruit is more difficult TO
gather, and the windfalls are bruised in
falling. The proper course Is 10 thin in
from the outside, to let the sun In to
every part. Every portion of the head,
and not the outside merely, thus re-
ceives the benefit of the suns rays, and
the leaves and fruit have room to be-
come fully developed
There are some details of the work
which can be learned only by expert
ence and by observing the requirements
Of trees of different forms and habits of
growth. II may be observed, however,
as general rules, that the remaining
branches should be as evenly distributed
through the head rs practicable, and
that the limbs be not run out in long,
bare poles, but sufficient side branches
retained TO give n good general shape
1t is we'll to remember chat it is better
10 prune too little than too much; and
that pruning can not be successful IL
cultivation or top-dressing with man
ure is neglected. .e
This operation in pruning, when re-
quired, may be done any time in winoer
fin regions where there is no danger by
injury by intense cold, wounds always
rendering trees more tender. But there
will commonly be little danger II the
pruning is quite moderate, as it always
should be. In very cold regions IL may
be well to defer the work till the APP
proach Of spring. but It should be al
ways done before the buds swell, when
pruning would check growth. The
wounds may be protected from rains
and decay with coat Of paint. -Coun-

THE MIND-CuRE.

Physical Ills.

Late Boston Notion for the euro OF
Physical Ills.
That this new departure from medical
practice is gaining in Boston is every day
demonstrated, and wonderful cures are
stated, not from laying on Of hands, but
from laying on of mind, where sufferers
are restored from belief of disease to
belief of health by the subtitle influence
of superior will, it being held by the
new scientists that all disease is Of the
mind, and a healthy condition of the
mind will cause healthy condition of
the body, which body is but phenome-
non Of the mind. Medicines are banished
from the sick room, and everything to
give the patient belief in his sickness,
and the healer merely sits and argues
the case mentally, with no volition Of
the patient in the matter, and the re-
suit, through the mysterious influences,
follows. My attention was called to a
case of this kind not long since, where

life, intelligence, sensation belong not
to matter, but mind, a wonderful change
might be brought about in human affairs
by applying the new science to the incl
dents OF life; anxiety regarding business
might be banished, hopeful seeds i'm

reverses be led to see things in cheer

For the benefit of many readers on
prairie and elsewhere, let me say that
this bean can be raised among corn
just as well as or better than on poles,
and by Limas l mean the true seed, not
the common little "butter" bean. If
time serves plant but two beans to the
hill (n corn 81 by feet apart), taking
pains to put the bean eye downward
from one inch to an inch and half
deep. II in too much of hurry TO do
this drop about four beans down care
lessly to each hill. II corn is planted
nearer than above, plant beans in every
other row. This bean can not be har-
vested all at one picking. l went over
mine last season five or six times. To
perfect itself it needs considerable
shade. 1t will then have the green tint
that makes it so delicate.
II more than two vines grow to hill
they may pull the stalks down some,
but l have been unable to detect any
harm to the corn, and one-fourth acre
so planted will give any family all they
can use, and one acre, carefully har-
vested, cleaned and sold in ordinary
markets, will bring in sum not to be
despised by any farmer. The idea of
planting eye-down is that the bean is so
large and heavy it often breaks the
Young shoot in its endeavor to lift the
bean up sidewise. BY planting the eye
down Il. e. on its edge, the most of the
resistance is overcome. People often
fail in getting a stand Of this and other
large beans, and blame the seed, when
it is their own fault.-A. g. Chase, in N.
