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 pass ages, making the child much more likely to contract other colds during the winter. It is this succession of colds that cause catarrh and bronchi- tis or paves the way for consumption. Should a cold be contracted, lose no time but cure it as quickly as possible. A fifty cent bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will cure any cold in a few days and leave the respiratory organs strong and healthy. For sale by Thos. F. Weedin.

Fred Smith was arrested Tucson on Saturday last on a charge of obtain ing money under false pretenses. The matter is profound secret in Tucson, the papers not even mentioning the affair. The grand jury is now in ses- sion, and it is presumed it will investi- gate his affairs. His friends claim that he would not have returned to Tucson had he not been guiltless, while others say that he went to Washington to have his time for straightening out the books extended. He asks through investigation of his office. He gave bonds for his ap- pearance. Wholesale summoning of witnesses to Tucson have been called on to appear before the grand jury-a large number of them from this city who have lately proved up on land the inference being that they have paid money that does not appear on the books.-Prospector.

man, with cavernous dark eyes and a

as they stood swaying moment before

the unconscious beauty in his arms
with look that made my blood rise in

for money. She Is apt to forget
at times the necessity for keeping her

PICK the cards up and hold them close
to her nose, so that nobody can see,
when they've been exposed in her lap
or on the table for a minute. They
quite often make mistakes that are
of no use to them. There was q
quiet family whist party up town
There were two ladies aud two gentle
men, and each gentleman had a lady for
partner. They had played nine tricks,
and on the tenth one of the ladies who
had to play stopped and looked down
all over the floor, got up and shook her
dress. "Well, where is my ace Of
trumps?' The other lady had it. ana

days recently Aaron Bentley, residing
near here, made preparations for a
..leetle spring plantin'." Bentley's son
was set to work to remove some big
stones out of a field before blowing.
The boy was about to roll over big
rock, when he suddenly set up scream
ing and ran pell-mell toward his father
and couple of field hands. ''A snake!
a snake!" shouted the lad. ''And it
was ten feet long," he continued.
The three men, followed by the boy,
| ran toward the spot designated, and
sure enough, not only one, but three
immense snakes lay summing themselves
near the rock. Two of the reptiles
were rattlers, but they were in half
dormant condition, and consequently
harmless.
The third snake appeared to be of the
black species. though it was curlously
mottled and had tremendous head.
The three snakes were killed and the
big stone was rolled away. Underneath
was found great Shiny, half-dead-and-
alive mass of snakes. They were laced
and interlocked together in a curious
and artistic network. At least six diff
erent varieties of reptiles were taking
their winters sleep peacefully to-
gether.
The warm, spring-like days had re-
viyed many of them, and when dis
turbed by blows and pokes they set up
lively Kissing and wriggling. Mr..
Bentley says that not less than a hun
dred snakes were killed, and his word
is considered ''of great account" here.

MARRIAGE OF NEA r KIN.
Apparently to Justify the
Common Prejudice Against 1t.
clentifc American.

~ HERE is a widespread idea
that consanguineous uniOns
produce either defective off
spring or none at all. When a
4 marriage between cousins is
spoken of. sterility or q deaf
mute, idiotic or deformed
progeny is predicted. and examples are
always at hand to cite in support of the
prophecy. Does this opinion rest upon
positive and well authenticated facts or
is it erroneous? This is a question
that was examined few years, ago
by &. II. Darwin. who, after profound
study of the subject, came to the con-
clusion that, in the present state of
science, there is nothing to justify the
common prejudice that exists against
the marriage of near kin. More recently
the subject has been further examined
by A. FL. Huth, who has just published
an exhaustive work upon it, in which he
arrives at the same conclusions that
Mr.. Darwin did. Mr.. Huth thinks that
consanguinity of itself plays no partic-
ular role in the union of individuals of
the same stock. In the descendants it
increases the tendencies common to the
two progenitors. By reason of
their relationship, the closer this is
and the closer the relationship of the
ancestors, the greater is the tendency
of the descendants to exhibit the same
disposition. If these are good,
consanguineous unions will be andvan-
tageouS in that they will fortify ana in
tensify them. If, on the contrary. they
are bad, such unions should be avoided,
in order to prevent a reinforcement of
unfayorable tendencies, which should
be suppressed. But the case is identi-
cal where il is question of unrelated
persons. No reasonable person would
urge two neurophath individuals OF
different family to unite, because he
knows that the neurosis has every
chance to become intense in the de-
scendants. On the contrary "a union
between cOnSanguineous individuals,
equally healthy and well favored, ought
to be encouraged.
What may be urged against marriages
of near kin is the facility with which
unfavorable tendencies are transmitted,
and the relative rarity of the circum-
stances in which such marriages can
really be advised. But. this admitted
and explained, consanguinity OF itself
presents no inconvenience, especially it
we consider how remote, by reason qf
the existing laws upon marriage, is the
degree of conSanguinity between in
dividuals capable of uniting legiti-
mately.
Upon the whole. consanguinity ac-
cumulates and intensifies tendencies. If
these are bad. the marriage of near kin
should be avoided; if good. it may be
favored. But as. unfortunately, the un-
favorable tendencies are more easily
and frequently transmitted. because
they are the ones that are established
more reason for avoiding than for seek
ing such unions. Upon the whole, Mr..
Huth concludes that the accusations di-
rected against marriages of near kin are
not justified in the present state of sci
ence.

Not a Coon. But a Wildcat.

New Haven Special to New York Sun.
Two sons or John Schneider, of Terry
vile. started on rabbit hunting trip
on Thursday night, armed with an old
pistol and accompanied by a dog.
While passing through locally famous
locality on Falls Mountain, known as
"The Lodges" the dog freed what was
thought to be coon. Fritz Schneider
took the pistol and climbed up the tree
to shoot the animal. When about seven
feet distant he blaZed away, bringing
down an immense wildcat, which, with
a scream like that of panther. made
for him in its dying plunge. The cat
missed Fritz. but knocked down the
other brother who was on the ground.
The dog set upon the animal, but was
so severely bitten that he was glad to
escape with torn hide. Two more
bullets were required to kill the cat,
which weighed thirty-three pounds.

AN AMERICAN DUCHESS.
And the Trousseau That Will
Startle England.

New YORK W orld.
A PRIVATE letter from England
u contains the account of the
~ trousSeau of Miss Candy, who
~ has reduced the number of
eligible dukes by one and
converted Newcastle to a
wholesome belief in and de-
sire for matrimony. There was great
deal said by the society papers about
the efforts of the New York girls to ac-
complish the same thing when the pious
little peer was over here on visit
while ago. but he held out against the
charms of the all-conGuering American
girl and succumbed promptly on his re-
turn to the attractions of little pink
and-White miss of seventeen, who wasn't
old enough to possess any arts,
and captured ducheSS-Ship by mere
force of freshness and prettiness. Her
father was well-knOwn soldier, who,
despite his valor, was of so sweet
temper that he was universally known
as ''Sugar-Candy." He spent some time
in India. and the letter describing the
trousseau. says that his equally amiable
and sunny tempered daughter was born
there. When she came to England her
Indian nurse came with her, and con-
tinued, while submitting to the English
fashions as far as concerned her nurs-
ling'S frOcks, to dress her in such un-
derclOtheS as are commonly worn
by the girls of Hindustan. These
were so comfortable and such an i'm
provement on the ordinary Occidental
wear that Miss Candy has never relin-
quished them, and her expensive trous-
seau consists of the Frenchiest of
French gowns over under garments,
cut in patterns worn by the Zenana
women for thousand years or more.

Indian wool, which is almost as smooth
as silk-iinens that are called in their
picturesque phrase. "wOven wind" and
grapes and f0ulards soft enough to be
drawn through ring. These materials
are made up into garments, with an un-
prOnouncable Indian name, which ex-
tend from the neck to the knee. For the
upper part of the body this supplies a
soft swathing without bulk, clasped on
the shoulders and at the waist, with
curiously wrought antique ivory and
gold clasps. Below the waist it turns
into Turkish trousers, which are
clasped at the knee by more of these
clasps, which also serve to hold the
silk stockings, doing away with the
garter. Every bit OF this material is
handwoven and tinted in the most ey-
quisite dull eastern shades, which can
only be secured from native vegetable
dyes, but much of it, the larger half in
fact, is snowy white The eastern eye
has a fondness for that color upon
women. TIE corsetS are something
absolutely unique-a simple and SUI

corsets'' so much yaunted by
dress feformers in this country. Hindoo
women have worn such for centuries.

AN EOLIAN HARP.
Simple Directions by Which Any
Boy or Girl Can Make One.

~ NE of our girls asks US to tell
how to make all Eolian harp.
The simplest style of this
melodious instrument is that
which fits into an ordinary
window frame. Out of thin,
well-planed boards of COM
mon wood, make box as long as the
window for which 1t is intended is wide,
four inches deep and five inches wide.
Glue the pieces together, making the
joints as true and clean as possible.
The boards, by the way, should not be
thicker than one-eighth of an inch, and
the more carefully you make the box,
the better the harp will be when it is
done.
Three inches from each end of the
box glue on bridge for the strings to
pass over. The bridges should be
made of some kind Of hardwood. The
strings are of catgut, and are frightened
by means of pegs fitted into holes bored
for the purpose at each end of the box.
Six or eight strings may be used, and
they should be tuned in unison. Three
inches above them place thin board
supported on four pegs, one at each
corner of the box. Then put the box
in the window and bring down the sash
on the upper board. The air passes in
and out between it and the sounding
box. and the strings. being set in vibra-
tion by it, give Off that soft, melodious
murmur for which the Eolian harp is
noted,
