Not So Much Clothing seoded.

 lived seven years Colorado. and have herded sheep in weather SO cold that the food l took out for lunch froze hard in my pockets ts-thermometer sometimes lj or 20 degrees below zero-and used 10 wear less clothing than do now. although naturally sensitive to cold. owing 10 a weak circulation. l we'll remember a half-witted man. Marvin by me (who has since then committed a dreadful crime who used to get precariOus liv- ing by hunting in the mountains. and who. in the coldest winter weather. went about in rsgs-practically unclothed
 Another -old timer. who was a team sier. invariably went about ln the se- -erest weather and most biting winds with his coat open and his chest perfectly naked and exposed Surely the street Arabs. who are at once half starved and half-naked. prove that the power 10 re- sist cold is merely a matter of habit. and that we might make ourselves all face" if we liked. though doubtless n dicum of clothing is comfortable. if of doubtful sanitary value. 1 firmly believe that overcoats are the most fruitful cause of winter colds. and that the best and safest plan Is 10 make little or no difference be tween summer and winter clothing.

Thought He Was ,IOrtaIiy Wounded

John H. keatley's R ecolections
 Some of the scenes in the flight of Gen Towards men that evening were ex- tremely lad;crous. Officers as well as men totally lost their self and did ss absurd things as their men. The major of Pennsylvania regiment came through the bush with the psnic-stricken fugitiyeS He held the rein with one hand. and. crowding to the front of the saddle. he drew hIs leg we'll up with the other hand When he halted in place of safety he was as pale as death. and his countenance betrayed intense agony-that of a man badly wounded His legs were incased in leather boot tops to the hips almost. a style of dress affected by class of officers at that period of the war. but which. as soon as Grant came in, was generally dis carded
 An army surgeon. an old acquaintance. first recognized the sgonized officer. and several ran to help him dismount His first exclamation through his clenched teeth was that his leg was shot of and that he would die as sure as the world He was gently helped out of the saddle and laid on his back on the ground under the branches of large tree. An attend ant took hold of the boot heel. and fear ing 10 give unnecessary pain. drew the great mass of leather and oil-cloth of the foot and leg as gently as possible. He then raised il to arms length reversed. and out of it rolled the bullet unbroken and unbruised. The ants of the wounded OLcer were intact. and not a bruise even could be found on the skin anywhere.
 The touch of the spent ball on his leg at the moment it passed through the leather and there stopped produced a sen. sation which. with the panic of the broken troops. excited the imagination of an otherwise brave officer. a1d confirmed him in the belief that he had been mortally wounded It was many days before he heard the last of his escapade. and it did not finally pass into oblivion ann ng his army associates uutil be was seriously and really injured in subsequent battle.

A Monkey Story.

A delightful little incident, entirely different from the story of the monkey and the parrot, is told in the Irish Tim .s about a monkey and dog, thus: A brave, active, intelligent terrIer. belong ing to lady friend, one day discovered 6 monkey belonging 10 sn itinerate or gan-grinder seated upon the bank with ID the grounds, and st once made dash for him The monkey, who, was sttired ID a jacket and hat, awaited the onset with such urdisturbed tranquility that the dog halted wifhin few feet of him to reconnoitre. Both animals took a long. steady stare at esch-Other, bat the dog evidently vas recovering from his surprise, sud about to make a spring for the intruder. At this critical juncture the monkey, who had remained perfectly quiet hitherto, raised his paw and grace fully saluted by lifting his hat The ef- feet was magical; the dogs head and tail dropped, and he snesked of and en- tered the bOusa, refusing to leave it till he was satisfied that bis polite, but mys- terious. guest had departed. His whole demeanoI showed plainly that he felt the monkey something ~uncsnny," and not to be meddled with.

An old soldier wen, to tbe TI;rd An

An old soldier went to the Third Aud ltor's office to-day to collect a claim he had against the government and made things lively by the expression of his feelings when hs found the government would not pay promptly on sight. He could understand how the Republican "rascals" would keep him out of hls money, but now that the Democrats were in power he looked for prompt pay ment and siRnified his intention to "dun" them until paid, or if need be bring the department before 8 magistrate. After giving full vent to his wrath he com menced to examine the building and finally stepped into the elevator to try the soft cushions, in what looked like a recess. The elevator man started the machine and they began to drop. At frst the old man could not believe his senses He stamped on the floor to see If It was loose; then suddenly he thought he comprehended the situation and jumped two feet in the ar and sieZed the man at the rope. He thought he had been trapped into an in fernal contrivance adopted by the gov ernment for getting rid of duns.--Wash- Ington letter.

 THERE is probably no death so painful and terrible as that produced by fire, We have all experienced slight remind CT of the pangs of suffering. in the occs- sionsl burn of very insignificant dimen- sious. an We can reasonably imagine the in iensIty of ones suffering when the flesh drops in large fragments from limb and body, crisp and smoking. This IS almost invariably the ultimate result of the continued use of kerosene as a fire kiDdler, and all the horrible examples of the dangers attending the use of this intiamms- bic article, are lessons lost upon nine tenths of the people. Following the e1cruciatiug death of tie Mexican woman in this city there will probably not be 6 single individual who will re- train on that account from its similar use. There is death lurking in every performance of the senseless set, snd the most terrible of all deaths. We would suggest thsl those who use kero- sene as 6 kindling agent should have motto pasted upon the can, something like this: "For ye know not when the Soa of Man cometh."

Press Comment.

New York Sun: If the President plesses the Democrats of Massachusetts 1t follows naturally that such action will be gratifying 10 the Democrats of New York, sud the better the humor they arc in the more satisfactory 1t will be to everybody who Is concerned in the prosperity of the Democratic party.
 Minneapolis Tribune: There has been a disposition shown on the part of Eastern papers-most of which repre- sent parties with waterways of their own Co look sfter-rather to sheer at the results of the recent convention at St Paul The Inter Ocean, however speaks handsomely enough on the sub ject, and the Tribune believes with 1t that "the attitude taken by the conven- ton can not faIl to make a favorable impression upon Congress"
 Indianapolis Journal: Ii is more than covsrdly to propose to modify any of the fundamental principles of Repub- hcsnism. It is foolish. For a quarter of & century they were good enough for the most pronounced mugwump ID the land, and anybody who knows anything about politics knows that DO fault can be found with the Republican platform of 1884. It gave unreserved pledge m favor of honest civil-service reform, and the past of the party was guaranty of the fulhllment of the pledge.
 Cleveland Leader: If the people of Ohio will carefully consider the polih cal status of the temperance question in the pending campaign. they will come to the conclusion that they are not to have any legislation on the liquor traffic unless it is 8 tax based upon the princi- ples of the Scott law. No one IS simple enough to believe that the Prohibition ists can control the next Legislature, and DO law can possibly be expected from that party. The Democratic party fsvors licenss law, which could only be secured through 6 constitutional amend ment

Inc Treatment Of corpuience.


 As analysed by The Birmingham Medi- cal Review. November, 1854. Ebstein. in his work on cozpu.ence. gives some vaiu. able practical points for the reduction or obesity. According to him, fattening Is strictly analogous 10 the fsttening of cat tie. and depends on overlooking. He. however, disputes the current view that fat makes fat: on the contrary. he thinks fatty food protects the albumen and pre- vents it's forming fat His plan of treat ment, therefore, consists in moderating the quantity of food. and while cutting off all vegetable carbo- hydrates. sugar. starch. etc. allowing moderate quan- tity of fat. two or three ounces daily. 10 re taken He also suggests that the diet should be monotonous. greasy. and sue culent. SO as to ca Ise satiety rapidly. He diSallows beer. but permits light wines.
 The plan advocated appears rational. and is free from the ob ectioo to Banting g method. which is too much like starva- tion- The following is the diet used sue cessfully by bstein in one of his cases
 BreakfaSt-One large cup of black tea about half a pint-without sugar; two ounces of white bread or brown bread. toasted, with plenty of butter.
 Dinner-Soup, often with marrow: from four to six ard one half ounces of roast or boiled meat. vegetable in mod eration. leguminous preferably. and GEO bages Turnips were almost and pota toes altogether excluded After dinner a little fresh fruit For second course a salad or stewed fruit without sugar Two or three glasses of light wine. and imme- diately sIter dinner large cup of black tea. without milk or sugar.
 Supper large cup of black tea. as before. An egg. little fat roast meat. or both, or some ham with its fat. Bologna sausage. smoked or fried fish. about one ounce of white bread. well but tered occasionally a small quantity of cheese. and some fresh fruit
 On this diet the patient lost twenty pounds in six months.
 Ebstein insists on the necessity of always keeping to the restricted diet if the tendency to corpulence is to be sue cessfully combated

THR Fiesta having come to its finaI end, leaving dozens of unfortunate strangers stranded upon an inhospita-
 ble shore, financially speaking, it is but natural that they should devise ways and means not only to sutsist, but to continue upon a journey that holds up to view a rosy rainbow of hope that glittering luck may be overtaken. Some of them are seeking familiar fields ID sunny Sonora, while others contem- plate the pleasures of n brake beam passage to other towns east or west, and each finds 1t necessary to make suitable preparations for the tour The con- munist believes that all property, real or personal, should be the common heri- tsge of all, while the pilgrims returning from the shrine of San Angustine's an- nual fiesta are satisfied with that which they can readily lay hands upon. A convenient windoR or door fjar, st this particular time, may suggest q change of ownership m obi-otr that can be converted into money, and the pasture bars or a stable door without lock or watchdog, may be- come tensntless ofthe equine occupants.

Street Car Travel In Scotland.

In many towns in Scotland where street railroads are in operation. instead of charging stated fare from which there is no deviation on account of the dis tance the passenger travels. the car routes are laid of into districts When a man gets on a car he pays 1 penny. which takes him 10 the end of that district: then the conductor collects another penny. and continuing at each new district until the terminus of the line Is reached By this means passenger only pays for the distance he rides. and is thus encouraged to enter the Car when he has but short distance to go.
