The changing temperature of the past few
days is pretty sure to be followed by a fresh
crop of colds nearly all of which will result
directly from carelessness. More colds are
probably caught by persons leaving hot for
a cold atmosphere without additional clothing
than in any other way. Keeping the mouth
closed when so changing, is good rule to
observe, Keeping the mouth closed on other
occasions is also good rule TO observe.

DECORATION OF HOMES.
It's Invaluable Effect on the Minds of Boys
and Girls.


and Girls.
The growth of desire to decorate
homes and make them attractive indi-
Gates the cultivation in the people of
an appreciation of the beautiful.
Beauty consists of those outward
qualities of an object the contempla-
ton of which affords us pleasure. Per-
feet taste, according to Ruskin, is 1.-the
faculty ofreceiving the greatest amount
iOf pleasure from those material sources
which are attractive to our moral ma
ture in its purity and perfection. The
object appears beautiful because it's
outward qualities are in harmony with
moral purity and perfection. For this
reason in him whose moral nature is
:depraved the appreciation of the beanti-
full is defective. There is not that in
him which responds to those qualities
of an object by which the pure heart
sees it to be beautiful.
A man may not be able to see the
beauty in an object, because of some
defect in his eyesight, as for instance
one who is color blind must remain in
ignorance of much of the beauty which
an object derives from its coloring.
But. apart from such physical defects
as this, good taste may be cultivated
in person of ordinary intellectual
capacity if he have the pure moral ma
ture-the love of moral beauty-which
is essential as the foundation.
no nf l. leo
that by surrounding a person, and
more especially child, with objects
which true taste prOnounces to be
beautiful, his moral nature will be re-
fined and elevated. 1t is for this
reason that it is a matter for rejoicing
that there is a growing disposition to
decorate the honses which are the
homes of families. Houses which are
made attractive in this way have a
purer and more elevating moral at
mosphere than those in which bleak,
bare walls stare all day at the little
ing the seeds of love and truth and
righteousness of life from growing and
and developing as they should.
The effect of such improved homes
is seen also in the public works, in the
outward appearance of the houses and
in the streets Of city. When the peo-
pie love that which is beautiful and
show it by decorating the interior of
their houses, they will also endeavor
that the like pleasing qualities shall
appear in those objects which are for
the public gaze. Their influence will
be felt in the adoption of pure styles
of architecture. Statues and monu-
ments will adorn the streets and the
public parks, and they will be erected
in accordance with good taste.
The mother vino decorates the home
of her children in accordance with
the demands of cultivated taste may
feel that in doing so she is doing God
service. She is training her little ones
to love the beautiful in material OBJ
jects; and thus she stimulates the
development of moral purity and per-
lection in their hearts. She trains
them to lead right lives, to become
good citizens, to become true and
noble men and pure. tender-hearted and
loving women.-Denver Republican.

a BLOODLESS MAN.

The Most Remarked BILE Physical Phenom-
enon Record.
Not many miles from Berlin there
lives man who, if what report says of
him be true, is certainly one of the most
remarkable phenomena on record. The
papers state as a positive fact that he
has no blood in his veins, and that
committee of the leading physicians and
scientists have declared their inability
to account for this extraordinary cir
cumstance. The man is corporal in
the German array and goes by the name
of Otto Schneider He himself was
quite unconscious of his bloodless con-
dition until two months ago, when he
fought duel with fellow soldier
His opponent ran his sword through
his body, without, however, drawing
any blood, and the patient seemed
not bit the worse. The man was so
taken by surprise that Otto had no
trouble in killing him. Since that time
the comrades of the corporal have been
careful hot to tread on his toes, and on
no consideration to accept challenge
from him. He was submitted to Sc
we're test at medical institute in Ber-
lin. A knife was thrust into his mouth,
the point coming out at the back of the
neck. Not drop of blood was spilled,
and Otto felt no pain during the opera
ton. The gentle."r1 who cEamined
him ire now fully conVihoeu tnat there
are many things in heaven and earth
that they never dreamed of. Otto
Schneider intends. as soon as his time is
up (the next Year,, to show himself in
the principal cities of Europe.-LG Is
