The Warming SymDtOns.

A philosophical writer in the Aelical Record, replying to the oft-repeatcd query. "How can we prevent catching colds'?" not only answers that there is no way, but argues that it is not dcsir able that there should be.
 To the hundreds of thousands Of sui ferers from colds it must be consoling to know that the wrenching sneeze, the watery eyes, the weeping nose, exercise a conservative function in warning peo- pie against the more serious enemies bronchitis, pneumonia, and phthisis. One fourth of all fatal illness comes iron, the lack of adjustment of the respiratory organs to their environment. The bron- chial tubes aud lungs of the average American cannot brave with impunity the fearful and wonderful assortment of weather which our signal servicc fur nishes.
 The nose stands sentinel over their weakness, and when it gives forth its warning by the train of symptoms which the doctors call coryza or rhinitis and common folk call ''cold," this should be rather welcomed than avoided. s'As the sinful man needs religion," says our philosopher, ''so the imprudent invalid requires the admonition of q common rhinitis.

"WhO's Afraid"

Once in while man vii make 8 name and reputation for himself by the merest accident. One hot day last sum- mcr wandering photographer was stroll. ing along the beach at prominent east ern seaside resort. He was on the look out for attractive bits of scenery and pretty groups. Suddenly he came upon
 hree' children paddling in the water. In an instant the camera was on the tripod and the muzzle was pointed at the youngsters. The smallest of the trio began to cry and the faces of the others betrayed contempt. The trap was sprung and the plate developed. It was the photographer reputation. Before the photograph was placed on sale i was purchased by representative of tho Northwestern road and fine steel en- graving was made of it for the railroad's $ calendars. It was entitled "Who's Afraid2" and it has been reproduced upon plain ground, suitable for fram- ing. It is really a beautiful thing. Chicago Herald.

IngcniOusncss of Crooks.

The metropolitan police of Paris ad init that in point of science Gas a Boston bruiscr would term iD American crooks are ahead of all their competitors; but they cannot dony that in versatility their own artists arc hard to beat Two weeks ago Versailles detective arrested an cngravcr, "Professor Jules Sarni," as the neighbors called him, whose sanc- tum proved to contain contrivanccs for the imitation of all sorts of value papers, from railway bond to an opcra ticket. In the course of ten years (siucc which time he had occupied his present ouar- ters) he had accumulated perfect arsenal of countcrfeiter's outfit, and his sample book contained not less than eighty-two different "queers. In ad- dition, he carried on profitable bona fidc engraving business, and, indeed, seems to have been abundantly able to mako an honest living; but his artistic self-rcspcct apparently scorncd the idea of purchasing expensive cngravings in the form of ticket or a check, when his own handiwork would answer the same purpose. His limitations of sd- mission cards to various pleasure resorts were perfect fac simi]es, and whenever ho he had occasion for visit to Havrc, or
  to the capital, he would have considered it an act of cxtravagant shiftlessness to pay his fare in cash; and as for buying an opera ticket. he would as soon thought of purchasing toothpicks at two francs apiece, when he could strike them out by dozens at the expense of jack-knifc and little ingenuity.

Two Rivals of the Telephone.

Bells telephone monopoly is confront ed with two dangerous enemies. Gray's telautograph is one of these and Essick's 8 writing telegraph the other. Gray's device transmits writing perfectly, and properly applied would take the place of the telephone, having tho additional ad- vantage of greater secrecy. Tho other device is not so we'll known. The sys- tenn has been in operation between this city and New York for some time, using one of the Postal Telegraph Company's wires. Its use on short circuits was proven practicable some time ago bu: kept secret. Robbed of tcchncaiitics, the system is simply one by which t type writer at one end of line is made to transmit currents of varying intensity which operate a type writer at the othc; cnd.-Pittsbu,y Post.

Making Gold Thread.

The silver is brought from the Bank of England in cakes weighing about 1000 ounces. To secure the necessary degree of tenacity certain proportion of copper is added, and the alloyed metal, in the form of cylindrical bars, is next thoroughly heated. The hammer ing process follows, and the bars, origi- nally about two feet in length and two inches in diameter, but now half as long again and proportionately thinner, are in the next place filled and rubbed until their surfaces are perfectly even. What we may call the second part of the process begins with the laying on of leaf after leaf of gold in the proportion of 3 pe.. cent. Afterward each bar is wrapped in paper and we'll heate1 in char coal fire. A sort of vice stands ready, and in it, bar after bar as it comes from the fire, is fixed and thoroughly furnished.
 All trace of its silver original has now disappeared, and the bar is ready for conversion into wire. This is accom- plished by drawing it from 100 to 15O times through ever diminishing holes in steel plates; and finally, when the capa- bilities of this metal have been ex- hausted, through apertures in diamonds, rubies or sapphires. The delicate wire thus obtained must now be passed through the steel rollers of one of Herr Krupp's little ''flatting mills.' This brings us to the final process-the spin ming of the fattened wire round silk, to form the golden thread of commerce.
 These spinning machines are worked by water, although two steam engines are to be found in the factory; for water power is considered to be more regular and even in its action. There is small home demand for the round wire for the adornment of epaulets, etc. but the bulk of the manufactured article finds its way in the shape of silky gold thread to h. dia and the far East generally, where 1t is converted by skilled native labor into those gorgeous cloths and tissues in which the heart of the Oriental delights. What a wonderful property does gold possess in its malleability! It is asserted that every ounce of the bars whose for tunes we have followed with no little interest, each containing only2 per cent. of gold, will run to the length of from 500 yards to 2500 yards, and the amaz- ing figure of 5000 yards is on record. l This latter thread would be finer than human hair, but the extreme limit is not even yet reached. - Chomber's Journal.

A Dukes PenuriOusness.

Many stories are told of the wise economy of the Duke of Edinburg, but surely the following bears the palm: Soon after he was promoted to the con- mand of ship he was stationed for some time at Gibraltar, and while there was ill the habit of dining with the of- icers of the garrison some four or five days out of the seven. One day at din ner his Royal Highness remarking upon the continual absence of mutton from the menu, was told that there were no sheep in Gibraltar The Prince had some very fine ones on board his ship, which he at once volunteered to send for the mess, and was warmly thanked by the officers for his kindly present. But their gratitude changed to disgust later when hi, Highncss sent in bill charging them good round price for the mutton that was supposed to have been a gift.-'Sun Francisco Chronicle

Nor has the work done in the building of the Princeton ever been recompensed.

ViciSsitudeS of Gotham Life.

The recent strike of surface car en- ployes has had the result of placing pe- culiar class of men on the front and rear platforms of the city's cars. On the Broadway line, for instance, there arc now six conductors and drivers who have hitherto followed the fortunes of the bookkeeper's guild four have carried Uncle Sam's mail from door to door in the capacity of letter carriers; two are policemen; three men who were oncc prosperous tradesmen find that g day for ten hours work pays better than the anxieties and uncertainties of life in q small shop. Over Q dozen different trades are represented and not few of the new employees are men of education and refinement who are glad to obtain a livelihood in this manner. There is one driver, who according to his own state ment, arrived here on the Etruria last October. He had in his pocket $4O0O in cash and letter of credit on Lon don banker for $5O00 more.

A case of very remarkable nature has come into the hands of Brooklyn law yer, says the Citizen. A lady travelling on car met with an accident, through the alleged negligence of the railroad company's servants, and sustained a se- were nervous shock As the result, a child was prematurely born and is paralyzed. The question is, can an ac- ton be begun by the child, through a guardian ad litem, for damagesa It is an entirely new point. If an action is begun it will furnish ample scope for learned counsel and erudite judges to exercise their intellects.

The Victory of the Vanquished.

The Victory of the Vanquished. Granted the odds are against us; granted we
 enter the field, When Fate has fought and conquered, broken
 our sword and shield. What then? Shall we ask for quarter, or say
 that our work is done? Say, rather, a greater glory is ours if the field
 be won! Iris war with the wrong of years,-with
 prejudice, pride and hate: Against the worlds decree, and the frown of
 an evil fa.e But even if hope should fail us, still we may
 do and dare; At least there is left the courage born of the
 souls despair. A crown to the one who wins! and the worst
 is only grave, And somewhere-somewhere still, a reward awaits the brave. ' A broken shield without but hero's heart
 within, - And held with hand of steel the broken
 sword may win!
 -Youth's Componion.

Hint From a Dentist.

tI can tell you," said dentist, something that will be worth $25 to you before you die, and which would be worth the same amount to every other man in New York City who employs a dentist if he knew it."
 The manipulator of the forceps and mallet was talking to newspaper man who had been plying his trade of inter- locutor while reclining in the dentists chair.
 "You asked me, just now, when I was cleaning your teeth before filling them, if did not use dental silk foss-or, as we dentists call it, 'tape'-to cleanse the no doubt but that you will say that all the other dentists you have resorted to used it, and have no doubt that they recommended you to buy skein of the stuff and to use it every day.
 "Now, to tell you the truth, I would rather see friend of mine not clean his teeth at all than to see him employ the tape. When your dentist recommends you to use it he explains, I suppose, to you that its action prevents the accumu- lation of tartar between the teeth. Un- doubtedly it does.
 "But, in the first place, the deposit of tartar upon the surface of the teeth is not nearly as great an evil as many den lists try to make their patients believe it to be. Now, the reason we tell a patient not to let the teeth become covered with tartar is not because it pro- duces carries, but because it tends to loosen the teeth.
 "The tartar grows down towards the gums and if it is neglected, will in time cover them, pushing away the gums from the teeth and in that way, you see, it makes them loose. So, after all, the tartar is only SO far hurtful as it tends to make the teeth insecure.
 ''Now, curiously enough, the silk floss |
 which y ou have been recommended to use has, in nine cases out of ten, exactly the same effect-it loosens the teeth. Indeed, it is so dangerous that, although it is more convenient to use it than to em- | ploy very thin instrument to remove the tartar from between the teeth, yet only use the floss when the patient s teeth are unusually far apart.
 "Our trade, like other trades, is full of tricks, and when your dentist advises you to use tape between your teeth he is either making you victim of one of the tricks of the trade, or else he is an | ignorant ass.
 At this stage of the conversation the dentist said, "Five dollars, please" and | the interview ended.

A Chinese Maiden's Caucasian Lover.


 Among the passengers who sailed from San Francisco for Hong Kong by the steamer City of New York was a Chinese woman who gave the name of Lee Dai. She attracted considerable at tention on account of her physical beauty and the size of her symmetrical feet. By her side stood medium sized white man, perhaps forty years old, whose name was Edgar Holmes. He had long been a resident of Hong Koug, at which place he first met Lee Dai. She was at that time but thirteen years of age. This was three years ago. One morning Holmes arose to see the Chinese steamer just leaving the dock. When he called to see the little oriental lady he found that she had gone by the steamer. For the first time he learned how deeply he was attached to the little maiden. She had been his especial care, and un- der his guided hand she had mastered the English language. He remained at Hong Kong year, awaiting her return. But alas! through the intimidation of the old bag who brought her over, and of certain Chinese merchants here, she was detained. Holmes followed her here, only to learn that she had been sent to Panama. Thither he sailed, but was told that she had gone to British Columbia. He then went to Victoria, and still his search was unrewsrded. Back to San Francisco he came, and one month ago he found her, widow of a wealthy Chinese merchant. Holmes urged his suit and little Lee Dai con sented to accompany him back to Hong Kong, and upon their arrival there they will be made man and wife, Washing- finn ,Cfnr
