How to Keep in Good Health.

Never begin a journey until breakfast
has been eaten.
Never lean with your back against any
thing that is cold.
Never omit regular bathing, for unless
the skin is in active condition the cold
will close the pores and favor congestion
and other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in ar open carriage or near the window
of car for moment; it is dangerous to
health, or even life.
When hoarse speak as little as possible
until the hoarseness has disappeared, else
the voice may be permanently lost or
difficulties of the throat be produced.
Merely warm the back by the fire, and
never continue keeping the back exposed
to heat after it has become comfortably
warm To do otherwise is facilitating.
When going from warm atmosphere
into cooler one keep the mouth closed,
so that the air may be warmed on its pas
sage through the nose ere it reaches the
lungs.
Keep the back, especially between the
shoulder blades, well covered; also the
chest well protected. In sleeping in a
cold room establish the habit of breath
ing through the nose, and never with the
open mouth.

A Fortune Just Missed,

Quincy Robson related an incident of
the early history of the oil regions re-
Gently which may give the children of
the present generation a vague idea of the
magnitudeof the transactions which took
placs wheI oil was IS and 50 barrel,
and poor people gained competency
by scooping it off the surface of cree IS
or gathered it from pools around the
tanks which had overfowed. The story
as told by Mr.. Robson was as follows:
"Withia month after Colonel Drake
had struck the first petroleum ever
brought to the surface in America by
means of drilling, my father and the
father of my relatives here bought a
tract of land, comprising 1880 acres ad-
joining the farm ON which the Drake
well was located, for $3.50, 900.
Not long afterwards I was sitting in
their Office one day remember
it as distinctly as though it
happened only Yesterday = when
an agent for an Eastern syndicate
walked in and offered 100000 for
the 1880 acres The owners looked at
him rather incredulously for moment,
but before they could speak he had
counted out on the table S500,00 in
cash and drafts, which he offered for a
deed of the tract. l was appalled, by
the sight of the pile, but my father and
the father of these gentlemen retired for
consultation, and decided that
if the property was worth wort
$4,000 it was worth $1,000
900, and the offer was refused. Their
heirs still own the land and now it is
valued at about $4,000. Where they
could have got dollars we could scarcely
get nickels. Thus you can see what
seemingly fairy stories could be told of
those days. They are almost incompre-
hensible to the present generation, but
they were red hot facts And sigh of
regret that the offer had not been ac-
cepted went around the circle. Pitts

That is the trouble with some people;
they have no time to wait for results.
Some women will take dose or so of
DR.. Pieroe's Favorite Prescription and
expect to feel well Immediately. True,
some do find marvclously speedy effects
from its use. but chronic, or lingering,
diseases, which have had possession of
the system for years, cannot generally
be cured in day. Such maladies are
generally slow in their inception, slow
in their progress, and must be cured,
if at all, by slow degrees and regular
stages. Perseverance in the use of the
"Favorite Prescription for reasona-
BILE length of time will cure all those
chronic weaknesses, Irregularities and
distressing arrangements with which so
many females are afflicted. But the
use of this world-famed medicine must
be persisted in for considerable time

OGDays Even for a Watch.

Watches are funny things. Do you
know that there are times when watch
will not run regularlyl / have had rail-
way engineers say that locomotives are
much the same way. When watch has
one of these irregular spells it is almost
impossible to make it go. Many watch
is ruined, too, at times when carelessness
is the prime cause. Some men will wind
a watch too close, and then if it refuses
to run shake it until everything is out of
place. A large per cent. of the repair
ing done is brought about by persons
who do not know how to take care of a
watch.-Piilddelpkid Item.

Another Alarm from Box So.

Box 81, on Summer street, Boston, from
which were given the alarms for the great
fire of 1872 and that on last Thanksgiving
Day, was again rung in recently and the
sound of the alarm attracted particular at
tention from thousands who knew the To-
cality of the box and the history Of disaster
which attaches to if. When second and
third alarms followed with almost the same
rapidity as on Thanksgiving Day. the excite
ment became widespread. and all ears were
strained for the expected general alarm,
which fortunately, however, proved to be
not necessary The cause of the alarm was
q FIRE in Clatlin, Coburn & Co.'S building,
Summer street, which was completely gut
ted. Loss about $4,000 fully insured.
The firemen did brave work in arresting til e
progress of the flames.
