Stop That Cough.

Coughs and colds are prevalent now.
especially among children, too often
from the ignorance or carelessness Of
their elder guardians. Many mothers
appear to accept with resignation the
repeated and violent colds from which
their children suffer as providential and
unavoidable. A cold is by no means
always due to exposure. Indigestion,
constipation, q lack of scrupulous
cleanliness. the unwise habit of Sleep
ing in too much of the clothing worn
during the day, unaired bed chambers
all, or any of these things may have
fur more to do with your child's ten
dency to cold than the keenest breath
OF the bracing winter air. And in
great measure these things arc under
your control. Mothers should under
stand that it is q fact, whether they
can see how it is or not, that numerous
colds and sore throats are directly
traceable to indigestion and dietetic
errors. Quantities of greasy food,
fried meats, pastry. and the like, ill.,
ventilated rooms, and continued con-
sti?ation, have to answer for many
cases OF Group and putrid sore throats.
All thee things weaken the system
and render it far less able to resist
changes OF temperature. Give every
bedroom thorough airing every day,
more especially if several children are
obliged to sleep together, or with their
parents. This is to be avoided if pos
sible; if not, always lower q window
slightly from the top-or if this cannot
be done, raise it from below. There
is frequently bad air enough generated
and breathed in the sleeping apartment
of d family with small childron, to sup
ply them all not only colds, but with
number of so-called ~malarious" dis
eases, to last . year, perhaps longer.
Neglect of bathing Is another prolific
source Of colds. A child from to 10
years old should certainly receive an
entire bath twice . week in winter. A
warm bath ct night, taking special care
to svoid any chill after, will frequently
break mp, any sudden cold. Keep
children from playing in chilly, unused
rooms in autunn and winter weather.
Let them plAy out Of doors as much as
possible, taking care to have their feet
warm aud dry. A flannel suit and
rubber overshoes will often save much
cough medicine and doctors bills.
Keep them warmly clad, but do not be
contept With 1hick coafs and vorsted
hoods, while short skirts barely cover
their knees, leaving the limbs chilled

Rough ON the Insects.

A gentleman of refinement and cul.
ture, probably an editor, put up at a
San Antonio hotel. After he had been
there day or so the landlord asked
him how he liked the place.
"Ilike the town and the people very
much indeed, but / am troubled with
insomnia"

President ArIhur's Mistakes.

President Arthur has been polite and dig
nifed. courteous and pleasing Chief Magistrate,
and got along admirably until he became a
candidate for reelection. He made mistake
right there. The great MASSES of the Rtpubli-

buildoZed Southern States did not count. They
should not have been put on parade for him.
All the Republican State conventions compli-
mented Arthur's administration, but that meant
that he had no chance for nomination. If it
had been the case of anybody else, the >agacity
of Arthur would have served him. When Blaine
was nominated, Arthur sent telegram of
promise, and at the end of the campaign he
voted. That made the record. Between times
the dignity of his office smothered his Republic

about it, he ought to have been felt in the cam
paign, and was not; and the campaign was lost
right where it would have been won if be had
done for Blaine what he would have done for
any other Republican candidate. Blaine was
the choice of the Republicans, and Arthur and
Edmunds were not. Blaine had three times the
support of two-thirds of the delegates to Ma
tional Republican Conventions before he was
nominated. The Republicans who refused to
support him when he was fairly nominated
were guilty of a detestable and criminal blum
