Parents should be careful that their
children do not contract colds during the
fall or early winter months. Such colds
weakens the lungs and air passages,
making the child much more likely to
contract other colds during the winter.
It is this succession Of colds that causes
catarrh and bronchitis or paves the way
for consumption. Should cold be con

The AcrOpOlis Of TODAY.

The town Of Athens, and especially the
Acropolis, is now passing through a very
remarkable period in its existence. 1t is
with mixed feelings that even those who
reside here, and whose chief interest is
in archaeology, look upon the sweeping
alterations that have quite changed the
character of its appearance. The tend
ency to demolish all monuments of me-
di9val or modern history has been al
lowed free play of late years; in a short
time hardly anything will be left that
does not 60 back at least to Roman times.
The line will probably be drawn here,
though If one regards nothing but the
work of the great age Of Athens as
worthy Of preservation, it is hard to see
why (for instance) the pedestal of Agrip-
pa deserves more respect than the
''Frankish tower" which certainly was
more picturesque and Of higher histori-
cal interest.
But now it Is too late to regret what
may have been lost. Only two or three
insignificant fragments of later walls rc-
main. and those of quite recent period;
when they are removed the Acropolis
will appear-but for the wea and acct
dents of ages-much as it did when the
SO called "Beule gate" was first built.
This is IN Ineligible aim. and we i'm
agine it will now be recognized by all as
the best attainable. The Acropolis can
never again present that picturesque
medley Of historical associations and
monuments Of all periods that delighted
the visitor twenty or thirty years ago;
but we may hope, when the ugliness of
recent excavations and alterations has
worn off, when a painfully exact appear
ance of order and arrangement has been
avoided Gas is promised, and. above all,
when the old verdure and flowers have
nee more spread over the whole, that a
new and more purely classical charm
may be found TO have resulted from the
temporary loss of beauty.-Athens Cor.

Wcbster's Blue Suit,

Daniel Webster went / college in a
homespun suit, of which probably every
thread was carded. spun and woven by
his mothers hand from the wool of their
own sheep. A contributor TO Wide
Awake says 1t was a dycd-in-the-wool
suit, and the color was indigo blue-the
old New England color.
In the south it is butternut; but though
our Yankee grandmothcrs and great
Observation-Disclosures knew all about
what butternut bark would do, and the
subtitle power for slate color that lay in
sumach berries and bark of white maple,
and the various dyes that root and
flower, bark and leaf could BE- made to
yield through the agency Of vitriol and
alum and copporas TO set them fast,
the universal stand by was the blue pot
par excellence the dye ~pot'-that
stood in the chimney corncr of every
kitchen worth naming.
SO Webster YVES fitted out In indigo
blue from collar TO notwithstanding
for lis sv,art skin-and set off grand
and sophomore. Before reaching Han
over, there came or one of those drench-
ing rains which, like the Scottish mist,
wet n man to the skin. The suit held
its own-for has not indigo blue been
warranted fast" since first indigo was
heard of?-but it had parted with enough
S that Daniel, too, was died blue from
head to foot.
Daniel Webster had a liberal stratum
Of sentiment in his make up; and for
some reason. this color of his young
manhood became his favorite wear
through life. He wore blue coats to his
dying day. If any n ever saw him ii
a different one, the fact has not been put
on record. Youths Companion.

The Nile Crfer.

When the inundation approaches the
capital-usually at the end of June or
the beginning of July-the Nile criers
begin their work.
These criers are men whose business 1t
is TO call out, or rather to %recite, before
the houses of those who wish it, how
much the Nile has risen during the last
twenty-four hours.
The Oriental does everything, no mat
ter what it Is, gravely, slowly, with
much dignity and verbosity, and is never
chary of his time or breath. Even the
form of his greeting in the street is a
complicated ceremony Of words and
motions, which usually takes some min
utes to perform. And in the same way
this announcement of the rivers rise,
which seems to us such a simple matter,
is a most serious affair.
The day before the cricr begins his
talk. he goes through the streets accom-
panied by a boy, whose part 1t is to act
as chorus, and to sing the responses at
the proper moment. The crier sings:
God has looked graciously upon our fields
Response: 'Oh, day Of glad tidlngs."
Tomorrow begins the announcement"
Response; May it be followed by success"
Before tho crier proceeds to give the
information so much desired he intones
with the boy a lengthy, alternating
chant. in which he praises God, implor-
ing blessings on the Prophet and all be-
levers, and on the master Of the house
and all his children.
Not until this has been carefully gone
through does he proceed to say the Nile
has risen 80 many inches.
This ceremony is carried on until the
month of September, when the river has
reached its eliminating point, and the
crier, as bringer Of such good news,
never fails to claim his "baksheesh," or
drink money-sometimes humbly and
sometimes, too, very imperiously Lon

ANTS FOR EATING,


Thcy Are Said to BE AS Good as Pickles.
Some as Large as Foxes.
Should a Maine lumberman find a
stump of rotten log with thousands Of
big black ants in it. he scoops the torpid
insects from their winter domicile and
fills his dinner pail with them. When
he gets back to his camp at night he
sets the pail in a cool place until his
supper is ready. then brings it forth,
and. while helping himself to pork and
beans, helps himself also to ants. There
Is II accounting for tastes, and he esteems
a handful Of ants a very choice morsel.
Ants are said by those who have tasted
them to have a peculiarly agreeable,
strongly acid flavor. The woodsmen,
whose food consists largely of sailed
meat, baked beans and similar hearty
v~ictuals, naturally have a craving for
something sour ANTS are the very best
of pickles, said an old logger" who
confessed to having devoured thousands
OF them. They are clearly insects, and
there is no reason why they should not
be eaten, if II a get over n little
squeamishness caused by the thought of
taking such crawling things into his
stomach. There is nothing repulsive
about them, and when a man has once
learned to eat the creatures as pickles he
prefers them TO any other kind"
Ants have at various times and in diff
ferent countries been quite extensively
used in medicine, and formic acid, which
was first obtained by distilling the bodies
of these insects, but Is now artificially
prepared, is a well known and useful
chemical product.
Herodotus tells of ants that live in the
deserts of India which are in size "some-
what less than dogs, but larger than
foxes" These creatures, in heaping up
the earth after the manner of common
ants, were n very efficient aid TO the In
dian gold hunters. The sand which they
threw up being largely mixed with gold,
h Indians were accustomed to 90 to the
desert in the heat of the day, when the
ants were underground, load the sand
into sacks, pile the sacks upon their cam
els, and hasten from the spot rs rapidly
as possible. The ants, according TO the
historian, were not only the swiftest of
animals, but were gifted with such n
sense of smell that they Immediately be-
came aware Of the presence Of men in
their territory, and unless the Indians
got away while the auts were assembling
to attack them not q man could escape.

The most fiery Of pianists and Of or
chestral conductors, DR.. Hans von Bulow,
has been pointing his baton at his old
friend Rubinstein, to whose Ocean
Symphony he has taken a sudden dis
like. After directing at a rehearsal the six
movements Of Rubinstein's symphony,
which is, indeed, "vast and illimitable"
like the ocean,, DR.. o Bulow, according
to n not unfrequent custom of his, adj
dressed to the members of the orchestra
some disparaging remarks on the work
they had just been playing, and ended
by saying: "a symphony like this can
be properly dealt with only by q con-
ductor with long hair" Or. Won Bulow
wears his hair shorty On reading the
report of DR.. Won Bulow's little speech
Rubinstein wrote from st. Petersburg to
the paper which had published it, ex-
pressing his surprise that in tho midst of
his important and numerous occupations
the learned doctor should have found
time to measure the length of his rubin
~stein's) hair. He also inquired affection
ately after the length Of DR.. Won Bulow's
ears; wishing in particular to know
whether they had grown since the even
ing when, after hearing Rubinstein's
opera Of Nero" for the first time, he
shook the composer warmly by the hand
and even embraced him.-St. James

A Story of CARLYLE.

met Carlyle once-the man who en-
riched the language by the word gig
mainly" He was ~strolling along Cheyne
walk, where his home was in Chelsea,
and a small boy running across the pave
ment before him tripped and fell, crying,
in the philosophers way. Instead Of
taking compassion upon tho poor little
fellow, Carlyle struck him with his stick.
AT that 1, who had been doing a bit Of
quiet hero worship, could not contain
myself, and burst ont: "Sir, l have read
your Tailor Retailed' and was about to
begin on your French Revolution but
no man who can find it in his heart to
cane an unoffending child a write
books that it's worth my while to read"
Carlyle didn't care, / suppose, but there
was O certain amount Of satisfaction to
me in freeing my mind.-San Francisco

Two Kinds of ConscienCes.

Let us take the case of a man Of very
meaGer culture and education, whose
ancestors for generations have been OPP
pressed and their lot one of bare survival.
Has he a true conscience in reference to
a large range of moral questions? To be
sure he knows 1t is wrong 70 steal, II
he probably could be trusted NOT TO steal
money; but how about pilfering? On
the contrary, if your man of culture
steals it will only be large amounts, for
he despises and would feel disgraced by
pilfering. Here you have the two ex-
tremes Of society, with a common con-
science about stealing; but it is a weak
conscience at opposite ends.
The high born fellow will not pocket a
slice of ham, but he will default in the
handling Of an estate or bank deposits.
The one is feeble in moral judgment just
where the other is strong. These two
men have also a common moral law
against murder. Neither one dissents
0Om the commandment, Thou shalt
not kill" but one Of them. who is fond
OF society and dislikes the burdens of a
large family, does not hesitate to COM
NIT foticide; the other would recoil in
horror at such a crime, but he is ready
at a moment for a shindy in which he is
liable to kill some n or to be killed
himself. In neither case does conscience
speak loudly or condemn keenly. Your
conscience is your power of morally
seeing things. 1t is your inherited and
acquired ability to judge when an act is
wrong. 1t is far more easy to have a
poor conscience than it is to have a good
One.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
