with fit of laughing and spit out

in this city, and was under his constant

To Avoid Colds.

The result of closing the pores of
the skin is various, according to the
direction the shock takes, and this is
always to the weakest part. In the
little child it is to the throat, and
there is Group or diphtheria; to the
adult it is to the head, giving catarrh
in the head or running of the nose !;
to the lungs, giving a bad cold, or, if
very violent, causing pneumonia or
inflammation of the lungs themselves !;
or pleurisy, Inflammation of the COW
ering of the lungs to the bowels,
causing profuse and sudden diarrhma,
or to the covering of the bowels, in
ducing that rapid and often fatal
malady known as peritoneal infam-
nation ; if the current is determined
to the liver there is obstinate cCnsti-
patton, or bilious fever, or sick head
ache. Hence, cold is known by a
cough, when perspiration is driven
inward, and is directed to the lungs :;
by pleurisy, when to the lining of
the lung by sick headache or bill
ious fever, when to the liver, etc.;
diarrh@a or constipation, when to
the bowels and liver.
To AVOID bad colds, it is only neces-
sary to avoid closing the pores of the
skin, either rapidly, by checking per-
spiration, or slowly, by remaining
still until the body is thoroughly
chilled that is, until the pores are
nearly or entirely closed by inaction
in cold atmosphere or room, In
the matter of health, these sugges.
tons are Of incalculable importance.

How Grant Stiffened up an Aide.

An old army officer told me to. day
how Gen. Grant revived the tagging
courage of one of his staff officers.
The latter, when he was first assign
ed to duty under Grant, had never
been in any serious engagement.
Almost the first day that he reported
to Grant he was placed under a fire
of the hottest and most severe kind.
The screaming of the balls, the roar
ing of the cannon, and the sharp
crack and rattle of the musketry
thoroughly demoralized him. He
became absolutely sick and paralyzed
with fear. He was so weak from
nervous excitement that he lost phys
zeal control oyer himself. Grant came
up at the very climax of his fright,
and noticing his pale face, his blue
lips, and cllattering teeth, he said /:
captain, you are frightened. This
is natural enough. You will get over
it," Suppose, continued Grant, II
should come to you with hat con-
tanning ninety-nine white beans and
one black one, and | should ask you
to thrust your hand into the hat at a
venture and pick out the black bean;
do you think your chance of getting
that black bean would be very good L?
Well, your chance for being hit under
this fire is no greater than your
chance for drawing the black beam"
This officer at once took heart, and
from then on he never showed the
slightest Sign of fear.-N. Y. World.

A Pathetic Incident.

The GreenviIle Banner tells the
following pathetic story of how Con-
ductor Frazier, of the International
and Great Northern Railroad, tried
to fight off death a few hours in or
der that he might see his wife once
more. He had been shot by tramp,
and had been taken to Tyler, Tex,
in dying condition:
Help me to fight back this cruel
death, boys, until my wife gets here"
said the dying man, cheerily. The
doctors had already told him he could
live but a few hours. With a calm
courage he heard the verdict, and
called all of his wonderful force to his
aid in the struggle 20 hye until his

didn't say Hades, but that was what be

The wicked man expressed himself in that
way simply because his slumbers had been
disturbed during the night, by what he con-
sidered to be an undue amount of hilarity on
the part of the "Kompany" or some of its
members. He must have been ba'ad man.
