hollow log for shelter. After the
storm had abated he endeavored to
crawl out but found the log had swell

his exit, He endeavored to compress
himself as much as possible but with
Indifferent success. He thought of all
the mean things he had ever done un-
til finally his mind reverted to the
fact that instead of subscribing for
his local paper he was in the habit of
borrowing it from his neighbor, and
thus defrauding the printer. On this
he felt so little that he slipped out of
the log without an effort.

How Colds Are Caught.

A great many cannot see why it is
they do not take cold wbe en- exposed
to cold winds and rain. The fact is,
and it ought to be more generally
understood, that nearly every cold is
contracted indoors, and is not directly
due to the cold outside, but to the heat
inside. A man will go to bed at night
feeling as well as usual, and get up in
the morning with royal cold. He
goes peeking around for cracks and
keyholes, and tiny drafts. Weather
strips are procured, and the house
made as tight as fruit can. In few
days more the whole family has colds.
Let man go home tired or exhausted,
eat full supper of starchy and vege-
table food, occupy his mind intently
for while, go to bed in a warm, close
room, and if he doesn't have cold in
the morning, it will be a wonder. A
drink of whiskey or glass or two of
beer before supper will facilitate mat
ters much. People swallow more
colds down their throats than they
inhale or receive from contact with the
air, no matter how cold or chilly it
may be. Plain, hearty suppers are
good to go to bed on, and are far more
conducive to refreshing sleep than a
glass of beer or dose of chloral. In
the estimation of great many. this
statement is rank heresy, but in the
light of science, common sense and
experience, it is gospel truth, and all
those who give heed, may be profited
thereby, both in the way of escaping
bad colds. and paying doctors bills. =

PRICE THREE CENTS.

"Hail to the Chief" and here another
reception was held for several hours
when the president left at about mid
night. He took supper before he went
away, and it is said that the feast on
this occasion was very fine, Good
wine flowed like water, and there were
five hundred gallons of oysters and
eight hundred chickens. So closed the
inauguration. Or course the city was
crowded with the usual sights of such
an event. The toy balloon man and

There was a balloon ascension, and

BentOn's Last Act in Congress.

Ben. Perley Poore was talking to a
delegation of Missourians in Washing
ton the other day, about their dead
idol. Benton had," he said, "run his
course in the senate. His arbitrary
and domlneering ways had alienated
active Democrats like David R. Atch-
lson, David H. Armstrong, and others,
and strong as was his hold on the peo-
pie, the leaders in the state were final
Iy able to down him as a senator. He
was still able to swing district, and
after his thirty years in the senate, he
came back here and went into the
house for term. But he was alto
gether lost there" says Major Poore
Accustomed to the ways of the Sen
ate, he couldn't adjust himself to his
new relations. He showed that he
felt out OF place, and was an utter
failure. 1 remember well the last
night of his term in the house. Benton
held to the strict construction that the
time was up at midnight, on the Sd of
March. The house often went over
the hour. Sometimes they stopped
the clock until they concluded the
pending business, and got ready for
the final adjournment. That night
Benton sat very still and grim-looking
in his seat, occasionally glancing at the
clock. When the long hand showed
but few minutes to Twelve, he opened
his desk, took out the things in it, and
heaped them up before him on a big
bandana handkerchief, which he had
spread out. When they were arranged
he drew up the handkerchief, tied the
| corners, and had the bundle ready.
Twelve came and passed. In few
| minutes there was roll call. Mr..
Benton's name was reached. He rose
in response, and said in severe terms:
The time for which / was elected to
the house of representatives having
expired, l do not consider myself longer
a member. and decline to vote 1t was
intended for a rebuke at what he
deemed the irregularity of continuing
in session after midnight on the last
day. The words were scarcely out OF
Mr.. Benton's mouth, when the speaker
raped upon the desk and shouted
The sergeant-at-arms will remove
from the floor of the house all persons
who are not members Great shouts
of laughter went up, in the midst OF
which Mr.. Benton arose very angry
gathered up his bundle, and marched
out of congress. That was the closing
scene of his long career here Ht
never came back again."

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

The average life of a railroad car is
said to be only ten years. This is un-
doubtedly due to its fast living.
During the next 25O years, it has
been computed, there can be only one
total eclipse of the sun, that of August
12, 1890, which can be seen in Eng
land.
The replanting of forests in north
western India has already made itself
benefcially felt, according to Sir G.
Birdwood, in increasing the rainfall of
various districts.
The deep sea crustacea, according to
Prof. Moseley, either have very large
eyes or are eyeless, and there must be
a source of light in the deep sea. That
source, he claims, is phosphoresence,
but its light must be very dim.
The little living worms which have
been most unexpectedly discovered in
ice are described by Prof. Leidy as be-
ing white or colorless, and from one
fourth to one-sixth of an inch long by
one-seventy-fifth of an inch in thick
ness, the species being unknown.
Paper from the yucca, a hairy plant
found in Arizona. New Mexico and
lower California, is becoming popular
in Great Britain. 1t is readily bleached,
and has a fibre almost as strong as
hemp. 1t can be manufactured at
about the same cost as paper made
from mixed cotton and linen rags.
A few fishes, as the sturgeon, are
toothless, but as class they have an
extraordinary dental apparatus, not
only the upper and lower jaws, bus
even the palate, tongue and throat be-
ing som etimes studded with teeth.
Every part of the mouth is evidently
designed for prehension and mastica-
ton. Lips are usually present, but
| the tongue is often absent or very
small, and as often aids respiration as
ingestion.
A study of dry rot in the twigs of
fruit trees has disclosed the fact that
it is caused by contagious and
transmissible disease, in which, as in
the dry necrosis of leprosy in man, the
cells of the affected issues suffer de-
generation into minute bacteria, whose
germs are afterwards disseminated by
the rupture of the cell membrane.
One diseased tree is capable of infect.
ing a whole nursery; and old and
young are alike liable to the ravages Of
the parasitic organism.
Sir Frederick Abel, chairman of the
council of the Society of Arts, London
believes the results of recent tests
seem to foreshadow a future for the
employment OF electricity as the
motive power not merely of small
pleasure boats, but of small vessels il

Veteran Bremen.

The Veteran Firemen's association held a meeting in their hall in Insurance building last evening to consider the invitation of the Grand Army posts to parade on Memorial day. and also to act upon the report of the committee appointed to revise the bylaws of the association. In regard to the parade the members present were generally in favor ot accepting the invitation, provided it did not invoke expense in the way of providing g band of music, which the members did not feel able to bear. It was finally agreed to leave the matter with committee who are to consult with the Memorial day commit tee, ascertain whatssi expected of the Veteran Bremen, and report back to the association at meeting to be held on next Monday evening. Messrs. Lovejoy, Bailey and Crockett were appointed this committee.
 The bylaws were then taken up and read by the secretary, the proposed changes being noted as the reading proceeded. The only change of importance was one changing the name of the association by inserting the word 'fvolunteer," so that it will be known hereafter as ''The Veteran Volunteer Fire. mems association" of New Haven Another change makes the admission fee one dollar instead of ten cents as formerly.
