The laws OF health are taught in the
schools; but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily be done. If some scholar,
who had just contracted a cold, was
brought before the school, SO that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
its Significance; see the thin white coating
Of the tongue, aud later. as the cold de-
veloped see the profuse watery expectora-
tim and thin watery discharge from the
nose, not one of them would ever forget
what the FIST symptoms OF a cold we're.
The scholar should then be given Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy freely, that ali
might see that even a severe cold could
be cured in one or two days, or at least
greatly %mittigated. when properly treated
as soon as the first symptoms appear.
This remedy is famous for its coughs.

for these diseas s and is the most prompt
and reliable medicine known for the pur-

The Family That Lives on the Top of
Overlook During the Cold Months.
Il have plenty TO nead up here, and
l SAINT say that l get lonesome at all,
though l have no neighbors," said Mrs.
Charles Brink the other day in her cot
tage on the summit of Overlook mount
ain in the Catskills. Since the winter
signal service station was abandoned on
the top of Mount Washington Mr..
Brink and his little family live at a
higher altitude during the cold months
than any one near the Atlantic sea
board. Mr.. Brink is in charge of the
property Of the company which owns
the highest mountain house in the Cats
kills, and during the severest winter
weather, when gales are particularly
lively round the summit of the fine old
hill, he and his family are there alone
in their snug little cottage, $500 feet
above the level of tho sea.
About five years ago Mr.. Drinks
physician told him that II he continued
living at West Hurley he would die Of
consumption. He was told he must
make a change of climate, and so Brink
made the change, Instead, however,
Of going several hundred miles away,
he changed climates in a perpendicular
direction, and by making his home
over 5000 feet above the sea he found
the dryness of atmosphere that was es-
sential to his recovery. Now a more
vigorous and hardy man could scarcely
be found in the state. Mountain air
has done wonders for Mr.. Brink.
Mountainous get so used to running
up and down hill that Mr.. Drinks
hired man thinks nothing of travelling
nearly three miles every day far down
the mountain side for the little milk the
family consumes, and though no one
else lives on top Of the mountain the
Brink family are not deprived of social
pleasures during the winter, for now
and then sleigh loads of people climb
the steep ascent from Woodstock and
have a jolly party and lots of dancing
on top of the mountain.
The snow clad country below is
plainly In view on every clear morn
ing from near Albany to the High
lands on the Hudson. Parts Of sew
eral states are seen, and the view Is
as fine In the clear air of winter when
everything Is snow clad as during the
season of verdure. Mr.. Brink gener-
ally makes n or two trips a week
down the mountain to the p~ostofice
and stores at Woodstock During the
great blizzard, however, he was cut off
from intercourse with the rest-of the
world for about two weeks by the i'm
passable nature Of tho roads.
His wife is very fond of reading, and
though her little daughter is away
from her at school she finds plenty to
occupy her attention with an ample
supply Of reading matter and her
household duties. One of Mr.. Drinks
occupations during the winter is filing
the ice house for summer use Mt the
hotel. lie cuts the ice from n reser-
voir of water that is kept on the mount
ain top, and one winter when the whole
eastern country feared that it would
not be able to harvest any ice at all,
he succeeded in getting his usual sup
ply without much trouble, which shows
that the top of Overlook mountain,
besides being a solitary place of winter
residence, is also not a little colder
than the surrounding country New
York Sun.

The first mention of ice cream that is
found in history is in the account Of
the festivities following Washington's
first Inauguration as president in the
city Of New York in 1889. Among the
ices used upon that occasion was ice
cream, which is said to have been pre-
pared under the direct supervision of
Dolly Adams. wife of John Adams, the
second president. Mrs. Adams was at
that time the brightest star in social
and diplomatic circles. Dolly's popu-
larity by no means diminished when it

In the winter of 1S70-7I a great cos.
tune festival was held in Munich.
Among the many beautiful women
present was a Greek girl, dressed in
classic costume of extreme simplicity,
her only Jewels being a single string Of
pearls about the neck. A Boston art
ist, then a student t the Royal Art
academy, who was present, was i'm
pressed with the classic charm Of this
virgin beauty, made sketches and notes,
and at once set TO work to paint the
picture, but in vain; the time had not
come in which 10 realize the concep-
ton, and the canvas was laid aside.
Two years ago, as the artist was re-
turning from n summer trip in Europe,
he was introduced to a Hungarian
nobleman, who had been appointed
consul, and with his family was sailing
for New York. When introduced to
the oonsul's family, n glnnee at the
daughter, a beautiful girl of 16, brought
TO mind the Greek girl seen at the
costume festival in Munich years ago;
another look at the mother, and In
deed it was the same IN An In
innate acquaintance brought to light
the fact that the Hungarian, then a
student at the University of Munich.
lost his heart that memorable night at
the festival, and o after married the
girl.
A few months after the arrival in New
York the daughter gave sittings to com
plete the picture "Leukopis, I" which had
been inspired by the mother years pre-
vious. The artist was Mr.. j. NJ. Stone,
