There Is no greater fallacy than the
opinion held by INDEPENDENTLY
the young, and strong, and vigorous
that winter, especially a sharp,
frosty one, with plenty of ice and
snow, is the most healthy season of
the year. Very few persons seem to
realize the facts, that cold is the con-
dition of death, whilst heat is that of
life. In warm as well as in cold eli
mates, it is our unconscious effort to
maintain our bodily heat at a temper
ature of 9S dogs. that wears us out.
To this temperature, called blood
heat, every cubic inch of oxygen that
serves to v~italize our blood must be
raised by our own bodily heat or life
ceases. Since in cold weather the
maintenance of q sufficiently elevated
bodily temperature becomes very often
a difficulty too great for our strength,
the advent of a severe winter is quite
rs much TO be dreaded as the visitation
of a pestilence. Besides this, children
should not be sent out to walk of a
morning before breakfast in a cold
wind, especially with an empty stom-
ach, a they get chilled, and it does
the system a great deal of harm. A
like rule should be observed in mala-
rious countries, that on no urgency
should children or grown up people
go out in the early morning without
a-cup OF tea, coffee or chocolate taken

Wherever dogs run wild, as in Aus
tralia and in India, they show many
of the characteristics of wolves. They
have a similar habit of hunting in
packs. The people OF Assam tell won
derful stories of the cunning and sa-
gacity of these wild hounds when in
pursuit of game.
They say that when a pack goes out
to hunt, an old dog goes in front and
searches for fresh scent of n deer.
Having found this, he starts off alone,
and when he has ascertained the
whereabouts of the quarry returns to
the pack, which he then disposes in a
circle of a mile in diameter round it;
each member of the pack has a part
allotted TO him.
These precautions having been
taken, the old general starts alone
once moro in search of the victim,
and on finding gives chase. The start
led deer of course flies from his enemy,
who follows, giving tongue as a signal
to the rest of the pack. The deer, far
outstripping the dog, rushes on, but is
suddenly met in front by one of the
outlying dogs, who gives chase. The
deer, of course, turning TO the right
or left, again rushes off, only to be
met and turned by another dog.
Thus, turned at every point, the
poor animal becomes more and more
exhausted, while tho pack gradually
closes N upon it, leaving no avenue
of escape, and dozens of sharp fangs
soon feast IN the victim which has in
this way been run to death. -Youth's

Do intellectual women make the
best partners of life7 Emerson says:
'It is not beauty that inspires the
deepest passion" and Jean Paul Rich
ter declared that he would not lead a
woman into the matrimonial moose
whom it would not delight TO hear him
read the learned reviews of Gottingen
or the universal German library when
they sounded his praise, though it
might be in some degree exaggerated.
John Stuart Mill regarded the insti-
tuition of marriage in its highest aim
and aspect as union of two persons of
cultivated faculties, indentical in opin-
ion and purposes, between whom there
exists that best kind of equality, sim
ilarity of powers with reciprocal su-
periority in them, so that one can
enjoy the luxury of looking up to the
other and can have alternately the
pleasure of leading and being led in
the path Of development"
But other men of genius have
thought differently on the subject 1t
is m oft quoted saying of DIR. John
son that "a man is better pleased
when no has a good dinner on the
table than when his wife talks Greek"
Racine had an illiterate wife and was

Origin of Blood Oranges.

The blood orange is a mere variety
of the SWEET orange obtained by cult
walton, anu appears first TO have been
raised by the Spanish gardeners in the
Philippine Islands, from the capital of
which (Manila) it, together with the
well known cigars, formed at one time
one of the chief articles of export. On
its first appearance in Europe il excited
a considerable sensation, and, in the
last century, very high prices were de-
manded for the trees which bore the
wonderful fruit None, however, now
come to us from Manila, our supply
being derived almost entirely from
Malta, whero great pains and attention
are bestowed upon their cultivation.
II was for a long time supposed-and,
indeed, the idea is not yet quite extinct
that blood oranges We're produced
by the grating Of the orange with the
p~omegranate; but there Is not the
slightest Foundation for this belief

What Cigarettes Are Made of.

For some time past The Chicago
Journal and The Evening News have
been waging vigorous warfare against
cigarettes. The Journal has printed a
series of articles showing the large
number of cigarettes that were sold by
small shopkeepers to the public school
pupils, and has had interviews with
the principals of the various schools
and with physicians, showing the ex-
tent and injury of the cigarette prac-
tice among young boys. The News
has been investigating the compost
ton and effect of cigarettes generally.
With this end in view a number of
packages of each brand commonly
used were purchased and stripped of
tire boxes, cards and every distinguish
ing mark. Each kind was put into a
pasteboard box, the lid of which was
inscribed with a letter. These We're
taken for analysis to Professor Della
fontaine, a well known chemist.
He found that the cigarettes he
tested were generally made of to-
bacco ''imperfectly fermented," which
means hat an unusually large amount
of nicotine was present in them. He
found that nearly all had an unnatural
proportion of insoluble ash, that sew
era1 kinds were stepped in an injurious
substance, and were impregnated with
dirt in varying proportions.-New

Pawnshops Which Do Not Hang Out tho
Three Significant Balls

Pawnshops Which Do Not Hang Out the
Three Significant Balls
In nv rambles around this great
metropolis / have been surprised at the
many methods of making a living,
writes a New York correspondent OF
The Detroit Tribune. Certainly if one
half the world do not know how the
other half live, they Just as little know
how the other half make their living.
There is on Fourteenth street a place
which gets its patronage from the very
SWEETEST and most exclusive circles of
society. The place has no sign, moth
ing TO give it away as a pawnbroker's
shop, but such it Is, Notwithstanding
its handsome entrance and liyeried
door tender, who ushers the visitors or
patrons into an elegantly furnished
drawing room, decorated with rare
bric-a-brac and choice paintings. The
woman who keeps it, for the proprie-
tor is a woman, is dressed In the latest
style, and receives her customer as if
q guest. 1t is not until after the usual
exchange of morning salutations that
she asks:
What a l do for madame this
morningi"
The madame displays a set of jew
elry, diamonds, perhaps, or bric-a-
brac, on which she wishes a loan.
Sometimes a note is given at the rate
of Is or 90 per cent. These notes,
however, seldom go to protest, for the
givers do not care to have these trans
actions known to their husbands; but,
apart from that, they care but little,
as it is generally understood that a
oma frequently exceeds her allow
ance and makes it up on the next,
while the obliging broker makes q
good profit from the necessities of
fashionable women.
The duplicate gift" woman who
calls at the handsome 'brown front"
ding is known to the neighbors, who
see her descend from a carriage OIL ba-
rouche only as q caller, but she makes
cate gifts. Every one knows that the
wedding gifts of a season run in
grooves, and that most brides, on
looking over their possessions, find q
large proportion of their gifts dupli-
Gated. The bride who wept herself ill
on finding that she had seven butter
dishes, every one alike, with a COW on
the cover, had not the advantage of
the bride of today, who calls TO her
aid the buyer of such duplicates.
One of the popular brides Of last sea-
son found among her 700 wedding
presents Is silver plated candlesticks,
3 bronze busts of Shakespeare, A etch-
ings of Millet's "Angelus," 10 silver
hand mirrors, 8 engravings of n pic
ture, 8 fish knives, % pickle and olive
forks, 10 fans, II jewel boxes, 8 bon
bon boxes and z table crumb knives.
What did she do with them7 The ex-
change women came to, her aid and
took most of the duplicates off her
hands. OF course they were disposed
of at a sacrifice, and the young bride
worried for weeks for fear the trans
action would leak out, but what could
she doQ She could not litter up her
rooms with duplicates. l think it
would be q good idea, when is
sending out invitations for a fashion
able wedding, to add to each what one
is desired TO present, or else to do away
with gifts by saying, Gifts not de.
sired lam sure either method would
save any amount of annoyance to both

REAL REROINES,

While reading tie accounts Ct those
appalling horrors in the Northwest caused
by the billiards and which are attended
with such loss CT life and suffering, one
cannot help being forcibly struck by the
self-ssorifice ard tender-hearted devotion
of the women to those in their care. On
nearly every occasion where women and
children RaYe perisnet, 1t WAS found that
even in lying the women had tried to
shield andprolong the existence Of their
weaker COMPANIONS in misery. Occasion
ally ma would take cfhis CREST coat
and give Nts his fellow, but without excep-
1alD thsfytmen all made sacrifices. The
school teacher who walked aIl night
little girl snd the
others who were found dead with
their charges wrapped in their
skirts are examples Of devotion and
heroism not to be found often in the an-
malls of history. Great and grand and
glorious things have been done In war
times by the sterner Sex, but nothing that
deserves the sculptor's tribute more than
the memory of these young heroines who
gave up their lives in endesvoring to save
little children from dea.h.
