What is a Savage?

No one would call the ancient Brah-
mans savages, and yet writing was un-
known to them before the third century
b. Z. Homer, quite apart from his
blindness, was certainly unacquainted
with writing for literary purposes. The
ancient inhabitants of Germany, as de-
scribed by Tactus, were equally ignor-
ant of the art of writing as vehicle of
literature; yet, for all that, we could
not say with Gibbon, that with them
the nobler faculties of the mind had
lost their powers, the judgment had
become feeble, and the Imagination
languid. And we find that the use of let
ters is by no means an indispensable ele-
ment to true civilization, we should az
rive at the same conclusion in examin-
ing almost every discovery which has
been pointed out as a sine Qu0 non of
civilized life. Every generation is apt
to consider the measure of comfort
which it has reached as indispensable
to civilized life, but very often, in small
as well as great things, what is called
civilized to-day may be called barbar-
Gus tomorrow. Races who abstain
from eating the flesh of animals are apt
to look on carnivorous people as saw
ages; people who abstain from intoXi-
eating drinks naturally despise a ma
ton in which drunkenness is preya-
lent. What should we say if we enter
ed town in which the streets were
neither paved nor lighted, and in which
the windows We're without glass; where
we saw no carriages in any of the thor
oughfares, and where, inside the houses,
ladies and gentlemen might be seen
eating without forks and wearing gar
ments that had never been washedp
And yet even in Paris no street was
paved before 1885. In London Hol-
born was first paved in l4l7 and Smith
field in 1914, while Berlin was without
paved streets far into the seventeenth
century. No houses had windows of
glass before the twelfth century, and as
late as the fourteenth century ANYTHING
might be thrown out of the windows at
Paris after three times calling out
''Gare Peau.' Shirts were an inven-
ton OF the Crusades, and the fine dress
es which ladies and gentlemen wore
during the Middle Ages were hardly
ever washed, but only refreshed from
time to time with precious scents. In
100 we are told that there existed in
Paris no more than three carriages
one belonging to the Queen, the other
to Diane de Poitiers, and the third to
Rene de Laval. In England coaches
$50 called from the Hungarian kossD
date from 1880, though whirlicotes 90
back to the fourteenth century. So far
as we know. neither Dante nor Be-
atrice used forks in eating, and yet we
should hardly class them as savages. -

STILL IN THE HOLE
AND LIABLE To STAY THERE.--MEANTIME
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE INAUGURA-
TIoN OF PRESIDENT GO ON JUST
THE SAME.

To get out of the hole some lines find
themselves in on Inauguration travel, and
at the same time preserve bare SEM
blance of good faith with the public, is
conundrum not the easiest in the world
to solve. That the Baltimore and Ohio
was the first to announce in the press of
the land the low rates to Washington, is
not to be gainsaid any more than is the
fact that the Il. i o. is the only one of
the trunk lines throwing open its entire
system TO the advantages of the reduc-
ton of fare. Roads that make big talk
and claim the earth too small for their
possessions are whipping the devil
lively race around the stump, and making
a blow about everything except that
which people want most to bnow. This
peculiarly of the situation has led to
many inquiries, but as yet no explanation
has been vouschafed as to why the public
is made fish or fowl of as snits the fancy
of the would be autocrats of the railroad
world Hence the hole and the wiggling
to get out of it. Meantime the b. L O..
goes on telling the truth, presenting the
real status of the situation aud proving
that on It's eutire system one mans
money is gooC as another, and all its
matchless series OF fast trains, including
the famous 'limited." open to all pas
sengers holding Inauguration tickets.
Amid all the bluster of other lines, there
is not a word of denial of the fact that
the B. Il o. limited trains are the only
limited trains on any liue upon which
the low rate tickets will be accepted-or,
IN other words, the only line upon which
Inauguration tickets will be good except
upon slow trains. Neither has there
been the shadow of an attempt at con-
tradicting the fact that the B. & 0. is the
only line having its own exclusive depot
IN Washington, and the only line having
different tracks for it's Western business,
and that from the East and North.
Further, the b. & o. is the only line
direct into Washington, as proven by its
not having to announce special schedule
for its Washington trains as other lines
are compelled to do. TIE B. & O. trains
run solid into Washington every day of
the year, and such additional sections of
regular trains will be run for the inaugur-
alton as may be demanded. Thus no
disarrangemento of every day arrangement
is necessitated. All employees along the
line have nospecial instructions to study.
but simply attend to business as they are
accustomed to the year round. To one
giving the real situation a thought, it
cannot but be patent that when it comes
to Washington passenger business, no
line In existence can compare with the
b. Il o. The national is its stronghold,
and don't you forget it; and more than
this # you don't want to be compelled to
walk in from the subarbs, take the b. so

~. Curing a Cold in the Head.

The commonest type of cold is that
called ''cold in the head to distin-
guish it from "'cold on the chest" This
''cold in the head has certain we'll
marked symptoms-a feeling of gener-
al naaldiSe is experienced, often ac-
companied by a slight feverish sickness.
Then comes a sensation of fulness in
the head, there is sneezing, a profuse
flow of tears, an irritating and copious
discharge from the nose. This means
that the mucous membrane of the nose
is int1amed, and if this spreads down
the back of the throat, the sufferer be-
comes hoarse. The best way to treat
this troublesome complaint is to take a
''hot drink An orange sliced and
put into large cup with little sugar
sprinkled over it, and boiling water
poured upon it, and then drunk as hot
as possible, is both pleasant and bene-
fetal. The feet should be put into hot
water, with or without little mustard.
The 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 out
side the bath, so as to contine the
steam. After keeping the feet in the
water for from five to ten minutes, the
patient should lose no time in getting
into bed, where he will probably derive
great benefit from the general feeling
OF warmth, and from the flow of per-
spiration 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
ho ,ral1 do J-o
aight till morning. But keeping i'll
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 the cold than if
he were up, dressed and going about as
usual. The main point is to keep
thoroughly wrapped up and constantly
warm. Even an uncomfortable de-
gree of heat may be beneficial.
A small piece of camphor chewed
and sucked, is very good. So is the
inhalation of ulphurous acid gas-a
remedy which was found to be in con-
slant use by the weavers of Kircaldy,
who had it among the materials of their
work. Buy two ounces of sulphurous
acid (dilute) from a chemist, and then
take out the cork and inhale- through
the nostrils only, of course-the pun
gent gas which is given off. Some use
Ferriers snuff, and find benefit there
from; but it must be used cautiously,
rs it contains a powerful drug-to-wit
morpha. Ten or twelve grains of
Dover's powder taken in Cruel at bed
time is good for an adult, but should
not be administered to children, as it
contains opium, which should never be
given to them without doctors pre-
scription. TO avoid an unpleasant
excoriation of the nose and upper lip
during the course of cold in the head,
they should be often washed thoroughly
with soap and lukewarm water, and a
little vasaline should be applied. If the
throat feels sore, a chlorate of potash
lozenge should be sucked occasionally.

A Squirrel and Her Babies.

Old citizens of Toledo distinctly re-
member the time when there was an
immigration of squirrels in this vicinity.
On certain day gentleman was on
the bank of Ten-Mile Creek when the
number of squirrels moving was unus-
ually large. Among the squirrels was
one that exhibited such motherly care
and affection for her two little ones as
to prove most interesting sight. She
reached the bank of the creek where q
crossing was to be made The little
squirrels were quite timid about going
near to the water, but the mother
coaXed them until they seemed to be
satisfied TO do as she wished. She ran
along the shore, and finding a piece of
bark about foot long and six inches
wide, dragged it to the waters edoe
and pushed it into the water so that
only a small part of one end of the
Dark was resting on the shore. She
then induced her little ones to oet on
the bark and they at once cuddled
closel y together, when the old squirrel
pushed the bark and its load into the
stream, and, taking ono end of the bark
III her teeth. pushed it ahead of her
until the opposite bank was reached,
where the young squirrels quickly
scampereo up the bank of the creek.
where the mother rested for few min
utes, when the journey was resumed
