TO AVOID COLDS:
How People Can Keep Warm without
Wearing Too Much Clothing.

wearing TOO Much Clothing.
Some people may not know that
when exposed to severe cold q feeling
of warmth is really created by rcpcat-
edly filling the lungs to their utmost in
this manner: Throw tho shoulders well
back and hold the head we'll up. In
fate the lungs slowly, the air entering
entirely through the nose. When the
lungs are completely filled, hold the
breath for ten seconds or longer, and
then expire it quickly through the
mouth. After repeating tho exercise
while one is "chilly," feeling of
warmth will be felt over the entire body,
and oven to the feet and hands. 1t Is
important for all to practice this exer-
else many times each day, and espec-
tally when in the open air. II the habit
ever becomes universal, then consump-
ton and many other diseases will
rarely, if ever, be heard of. Not only
while practising the "breathing exer-
else" must the clothing bo loose over
the chest, but beginners will do well to
remember, in having their clothing
fitted, TO allow for the permanent en-
pansion of the chest of one, two, and
even three inches, which will eventu-
ally follow.
One might with propriety say that
too many people choke or stitlo the
skin by an excess of clolhing, and, as
consequence, take cold easily. Some
impurities arc thrown out of the system
by the skin, rs others are by the lungs,
the bowels, and the kidneys, 1t is
absolutely essential to health that the
cmanatons from the skin pass easily
through the clothing. This-which is
called Transportation" may bo inter-
fered with by an excess of clothing, or
by clothing of n very close texture.
All who wear India-rubber coats know
how uncomfortable they cause them to
feel after they have been on a short
time On the accession of Leo y. to
the papacy, there was grand process
sion at Florence in his honor. A little
girl was made TO personate the golden
age, by being coated from head to foot,
with gold leaf. Before the day was
over, she died in convulsions. killed be-
cause, Transportation" or, in other
words, because carbonic acid gas and
dead. worn-out matters, which should
have been thrown out by the skin, were
shut up in her system by the metallic
covering. Ordinary clothing will not,
of course, prevent Transportation,
but an excess will Interfere with
it; and where too much clothingis worn
the same soon becomes foul, unless the
outside air can freely mingle with the
gases from the body and so dilute them.
Some wear the thickest and heaviest
undervests which they can buy, and
such people are very generally the
victims of frequent colds. Following
the rule of light clothing they would be
much safer from the dangers of eX-
posure were they to wear two light
undervests instead of one very thick
and heavy. Boston Herald.

EUROPE ouTDoNE.
A Gotham Restaurant Superior to Any
Thing Existing in Paris.

Gotham Restaurant Superior to Any
Thing Existing in Pnris.
Theladies' part of the new downtown
restaurant is the most bcwildcringly
elegant public eating place that New
York has ever had. The pale blue,
white and gold decorations are deli
cate and becoming background for
most styles of feminine beauty, and rs
the glare of daylight can not penetrate
the room, the continuous mirrors aided
by the electric lights reflect Il woman's
best capabilities in the way of fine-tex-
tured luminousness. At the bottom OF
the little stairway that leads to the
cafe stands six-foot Englishman.
clothed in gorgeous livery, whose duty
ii is to indicate by stately wave of tho
hand the direction that customer
needs to take to reach the elysium of
gourmands Mt the top. Half way up
the stairs small boy in silver buttons
is encountered. This one collects UNI
brellas and sticks, giving large nickel
checks for them. Another example of
this boy opens the door upon the daz-
zling dining-room, and the guests are
then taken in hand by splendid per-
sonage who asserts certain proprie-
tary authority and locates people where
he wishes, though his manner of per-
forming the service conveys the i'm
preston that he has had nothing to do
with the selection of places. About
the dainty hall are clusters of walters
in plumb-colored swnllow-tail coats,
studded with silver buttons, and wear
ing waist-coats of striped yellow
and black. They are punctilious and
proud fellows. but their attendance is
soothing and satisfactory. Perhaps the
most luxurious feature of the place is
the pre- sence of several lady's maids in
spotlcss linen caps and aprons, who de-
scend noiselessly upon the guests and
assist in the removal of outer wraps.
On recent cold day, young woman
in sealskin jacket entered the place
without an escort. When she had
reached her seat she found herself con-
fronted by one of the spotless maids,
and she evidently did not quite COM
prehend the mission of the latter, She
stared at her and asked what she
wanted. The maid had her eye on the
sealskin jacket, and expressed herself
as being desirous of taking ii away
and putting it in the ice-chest or some
other safe place. But the young wo-
man appeared to feel that in such
wealthy vicinity a simple sealskin
jacket would not be considered worth
taking any especial care of, so she an
nounced her intention of remaining
within it. The maid withdrew to
where her companions were engaged
in chat, and shook her head to ex-
press her despair at not being allowed
to exercise her functions. The young
woman in the sealskin ordered pistache
ice-cream and cup of tea, but the
plum-colored man at her elbow had
bad influence over her appetite, for
she only got short distance on tho
cream and half way through her tea
when she called for her check and left
the place as though subdued and rout-
ed by superabundance of grandeur

THE HEATHEN cHINEE.
Carter Harrison Calls Him the Huma
White Ant OF the East.

Singapore is pretty town on the
name, which is almost sixty miles in
circumference and is separated by q
narrow channel from lahore, the eX-
treme southern land of the Malayan
peninsula and of the Asiatic continent.
Approaching the town one sees long
line of two-sturied, colonnadcd hongs
or business houses, part white and part
of pale blue. Thanking this on one side
is u long esplanade covered with pine
trees, and on tho other couple of
miles of docks and factories. Behind
rise hills hundred or two feet high.
On one of these are the long, white
houses of parliament, half lost in ver-
dure.
The town is thriving one, doing n
great business, and possesses great
wealth. much of which is in the hands
of the Chinese. These people are the
Jews of the East--persevering, indc-
fatigable and shrewd. They work and
make money, and it matters not
whether their gains be large or small
they lay by something. They get the
highest wages possible to them, but
they will accept any wages rather than
be idle. They have not graduated in
that social school which teaches that
there is dignity in labor which makes
it more honorable to starve or 90 in
rags in idleness than to work at pay
deemed insufficient. The result is,
while the natives in many lands are
strutting with gaunt bellies, John is
soberly at work and quietly filling his
purse. Every town from northern
Burmah south and throughout the vast
Indian archipelago has already fallen
or is fast falling into his hands. Even
the farms and gardens about the towns
are becoming his.
The little white ants eat up the
houses throughout the East. They bur-
and rafter. They leave the outside un-
touched. But suddenly the house tum-
bles in; the timbers have become simple
shells. The Chinese are the human
white ants of the East. They burrow
and live in the light or in the dark. and
are fast eating Out tho heart and sub
stance of foundation, joist. and frame

MAUD AND /.


When Maud was eight, and Twas ten
we daily went to school together;
We little thought OF trouble then,
Nor stopped for trlflos or for weather.
Sometimes 1 drew her on my sled;
To ford brook l ran beside her;
Once in my arms time quickly fed,
only wish the stream acre WiisE
fused TO help her read and spell,
And when she grew few years bigger,
Ihad n hundred things to tell
or grnmmer and OF "sums" to figure.
Now, snce we both are out OF school,
And she is rosy-oheeked and twenty,
i can not skip the old.tlme rulc;
Our interviews grow long and plenty.
In fact, met her twice one day,
And talked about our being older;
She smiled in Just the sweetest way,
And stirred my heart and made me boldcr
Therewas an ugly stream TO cross,
Which always does beset the lover;
I thought of love, its gain and loss,
And wondered how l should get over
But fortune always helps the bold
In her blue eyes shone sunny weather;
We both reioiceo we were 50 old,
And now shall spend our lives together.

A Gigantic Wrong.
Chicago Herald.


Few Chicsgoans can dwell upon the
facts In the case Of the telephone patents
without establishment that the Supreme
court should take the side of that contro-
versy which must eventually go down.
In history the inventor of the telephone
will occupy an interesting page. Bell
may have received the money,ss the Van
derbilts enjoy the profits OF Stevenson's
inventions, but the telephone was first
made here in Chicago. The tune
was played over wire. Doubtless
8 singing voice could have trans
mitted song as Clearly. The tone WAS
loud enough to be heard mile away on
& still night. 1t was q telephone. Pro-
fessor Gray then called it telephone. It
cannot be possible that another inventor,
who had never convinced his neighbors
that he had such machine, should pstent
1t the same day the the tue inventor fled
his warning. Four Supreme Justices out
of the eight believe n-Gray as the true in
ventor. The Ball telephone monopoly
stands before the reason Of man as the
worst wrong government has inflicted
in recent times.
