What She Wanted.

Mrs. Sam Smart advertised for col
ored servant. An elegantly dressed
colored lady put in an appearance. She
wanted fifteen dollars month in ad-
vance, which was conceded. She want
ed room with carpet and stove,
where she could receive the visits OF
'seberal gemmen who am payin' me
'tenshuns. This was also granted. She
was allowed to attend church all day
Sunday and twice during the week.
When a revival was in progress she pro-
posed to be out every evening IN the
week. This and several other conces-
sions were granted by Mrs. Smart, who
is fanatically opposed to doing any hard
work herself, and will put up with every
thing from servant rather than soil
her precious hands.

What is a Cold.

1t is startling to discover now little
we know about the common forms OF
disease. For example, 'cold'-What
is it? How is it produced, and OF what
does it consist? 1t is easy to say cold
is a chill. A chill of what part of the
organismp We know by daily expert
ence that the body as a whole, or any
of its parts, may be reduced to a con,
siderably lower temperature than Will
suffice to give man a cold if the So
called chill be inflicted upon the surface
suddenly. Is it, then, the suddenness
of a reduction of temperature that causes
the cold? 1t would be strange If 1t were
so because few of the most susceptible
mortals would take cold from simply
handling piece of cold metal or acci-
dental contact with ice. The truth
would seem to be that what we call
cold taking is the result of a sufficient
impression of cold to reduce the vital
energy of nerve centers presiding over
the functions in special organs. II this
be the fact it is easy to see why nature
has provided the stimulus of a strong mt
of sneezing to rouse the dormant cen
tres and enable them at once to resume
work and avoid evil consequences. lhis
explains why the worst effects OF colds
do not as rule, follow a chill which
excites much sneezing. Shiverlng IS a
less effective convulsion to restore the
paralyzed nervous energy, but, in a
lower degree, it may answer the same
purpose. The shivering that results
from the effect of a poison of the ner-
vous centers is a totally different matter.
We speak only of the quick muscular
agitation and teeth-chattering which
occur whenever the body is exposed tc
cold and evil results do not ensue. Ii
| t66t, He natural indication to ward OH the
effects of chill is to restore the vita
energy of the nerve centers, and there
is no more potent influence by whlcl
to attain this object than a strong ant
sustained effort of the will. The mai
who resolves not to take a cold seldom
does.

No; that is the queer part about their

Nine out of ten of them are women.
Six of the nine are gossiping old maids.
Two of the remaining three are wives

want to see how their neighbors are
dressed and how the body has been pre-
pared for burial. They want to note
how the members of the family bear
their bereavement If there is not a
copious flood of tears their whispers are
cruel and their sighs are heart-rending.
Yet few tears may show more intense
affection and love than those heartless
onlookers can appreciate. Indeed,
an absence of tears denotes more real

that secular jury, accustomed to the diff

that the conscience of the average layman is
likely to be slightly scared on the side devoted
to affairs Of the world, and that he is less able
to distinguish between right and wrong, then
it might be advisable to call a jury of clergy
