One Way to Resist Cold.

It is said that when exposed tc
severe cold feeling of warmth is
created by repeatedly filling the
lungs to their utmost in this man.
ner: Throw the shoulders we'll back
and slowly (the garments being
loose), the air entering entirely
the nose. When the lungs are com
pletely filled, hold the breath for
ten seconds or longer, and then ex-
pire it quickly through the mouth.
1t is important for all to practice
this exercise many times each day,
especially in the open air. If this
habit ever becomes universal, lung
diseases and many others will
rarely be heard of. A permanent
expansion of the chest of one, two
and even three inches will eventu-
ally follow.

All Drinks the Same to tho Drunk.

A novel bet was lately decided in
a restaurant in this city. A gentle
man asserted that the majority OF
men did not know what they were
drinking, and offered to bet that he
could confound any one SO that he
could not tell water from whisky.
One of the party accepted the wager
and the preparations began. The
man was first blindfolded and then
a number of glasses containing wa
ter, milk, whisky, sherry, claret,
Rhine wine and gin were set out on
the bar. They were handed to the
blindfolded man one at time and
he was told to name the liquor after
tasting it. He got through the list
bravely until he came to the gin,
which he called port wine. Then
the man started him back, but it
was soon very evident that his pal
ate had been knocked silly. He
called milk water, and finally was
forced to admit that all the liquors
tasted alike and that he had lost
his bet.-Philadelphia Times.

should not be resented. But as the
merchants and dealers find it an
nnmitigated nuisance and great
hindrance to business, they have
adopted q certain code of finger
signs, which they exchange when
bargaining, with their hands con-
cealed under their sleeves or turban
cloth. Each finger and each joint
of a finger represents a certain fig
ure. So the pair can bargain by
the hour-as they often do-to their
hearts content, and none of the
noisy and gaping busybodies
around them be any the wiser for it.

He spoke from experience. Said
he: l tell you l was bad off. I
could just hobble along on two
crutches and didn't ever expect to

say, it bears q strong outward re-

word ''gamble. Of course, it re-

is done by people who would not
gamble. That is complete answer.
But if it were done by people who
did gamble, it would run great risk
of being classed as part of their

prizes show the advantages of a
good game, and now and then of

SIMON MAD0LEs FAMOUS DUEL

| When | was on my fishing trip
down in Southeast Missouri, short
time ago, says a writer in the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, l met old
Simon Madole, the man who had
the historic duel with Governor
Clingman of North Carolina, that
there was so much lying about in
the ''fifties." It is hopeless to try
to give Madole's fine old Tennessee
dialect, but as near as I can put ii
he tells the story thus: "You see,
l went down there into that French
brood kentry, and this man Cling
man, Guv'ner Clingman, he was
then, KEN along and made a per-
litical speech, which was all full OF
foolery and dodgasted nonsense,
and along about the middle of it
up and pintedly guv him the lie.
Well, he sent his challenge to me,
and | passed the word back that I'd
| fight him with swords, mounted.
Now, l had ole OK brute that I
had trained to the saddle, and he
was viciouser than a trousers leg
full of rattlesnakes when l put the
cinch to him; and he I'd specially
object to anybody tootin' horn
when ridin' him. / had beside a
kiverlet-a bed kiverlet, you know
in which were all the colors of
the rainbow, although red and blue
predominated.
Il put the kiverlet on the OK
brute, cinched in the saddle 80 that
his eyes bulged cut; I got me an
old rusty saber that my gran'ther
fit into the Revolution with, tied
on a cowhorn and started for the
field of combat. Guv'ncr Clingman
was there on a fine thoroughbred
mare, with three-cornered French
rapeer in his hand, evidently thirst
in for my blood. AS me and the
OK brute hove in sight, there was
what these here newspaper fellows
call a sensation. Guv;ner Cling
man declared he wouldn't fight no
such outfit, but I took one long
toot on the cowhorn and charged.
Wall, sir, his thoroughbred kind of
jerked, and shivered, and stared, as
though she didn't know whether
she was asleep or only dreamin',
while the kiverlet was a-Autterin' in
the wind, and the OK brute was
snortin' and a-pawin' for her, end on.
"The Guv'ner was yellin' for nae
to stop, but / des' footed away on
the horn and let the OK brute 20.
The mare waited twell we got about
ten yards of, and then she out due
east as hard as she could lick, and
you can believe me or not but she
never even switched her tail twell
she crossed the Calina line. There's
been lots of lying about the Cling
man duel, but that's the truth Of it,
the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth"

Pistol Echoes in Church WallA

One thing must be said of Ten
nessee: They stick to their relig-
ion there. Now, only last Sunday
a man going to Church in Knox
vile left his wife at the church
door while he stepped across the
street to shoot two or three men.
He did shoot two Of them, and
would have shot the third had the
third not run away. The man
himself got one bullet through his
arm and another ripped up his
scalp, but he managed all right to
get into meeting in time for prayer,
if not for the collection. They
never let anything interfere with
their religion down in Tennessee.

To Cure SneezinR.

"A OOAlCSPOuCut Va LH0 D44t161l
Medical Journal says: During the
recent rapid changes of temperature
| caught a severe cold in my head,
accompanied by almost incessant
sneezing. My unfortunate nose gave
me no rest. The slightest impact
of cold air, or passing from the out
side air into warm room, equally
brought on a sneezing. In vain /
snuffed camphor and pulsatilla ;
the light catarrh still triumphed
over me. At length resolved to
see what the maintenance Of uni
form temperature would do toward
diminishing the irritability of my
Schneiderian membrane, and ac-
cordingly I plugged my nostrils
with cotton wool. The effect was
instantaneous; / sneezed no more.
Again and again l tested the eff
cacy of this simple remedy, always
with the same result. However
near I was to a sneeze, the intro
duction of the pledgets stopped it
at once. Nor was there any incon-
venience from their presence, max
ing them sufficiently firm not to
tickle, and yet leaving them loose
enough to easily breathe through" !"
This is really worth knowing, for
incessant sneezing is among the
greatest of smaller ills. and it seems
only rational conclusion to hope
that this simple plan may furnish
the most efficient remedy against
one of the most. distressing symp-
toms Of hay fever.

death, does it ''act strangely" 1t acts

five minutes before it strikes. and

full sounds petrify the terrified guest
with horror. for he firmly believes that
the man in the next room is hanging

and strikes six. Then it stops, groans

three and the minute hand is at five

is quarter past six and your train has

and by the Oldest boy comes along and
sets it by the school bell. which rings
about nine o'clock. Then the porter
