PROTECTYOuR HEALTH.

Cold and moisture combined have a
torporising effect upon the bodily organs,
and the digestive and secretive processes
are apt to be more tardily performed in
winter than in the fall. The same is 5rue,
also, of the eXcretory functions. The
bowels are often sluggish, and the pores
of the skin throw off but little waste mat

me light at once. found myself in a

this mantel l saw an oil lamp, to which
l applied my match as looked about me.
On the hearth was heaped a quantity
of ashes, and over these crouched a
child, little girl of or 6. At the other
end of the room, which was plainly and
scantily furnished, lay man across a
bed, and as l raised the lamp saw that

she said, and then began to cry. ''Oh,

ATARlEE

New YORK. Jan. 2s-The validity and
constitutionality of the Mckinley tariff
act are to be tested in the United States
supreme court on a case argued yesterday
before Judge Lacotube in the circuit court.
The suit is that Of II. II. Sternbach 81 Co,
for the classification of colOred cottons
imported by them. The points made by
Stanley, Clark and Smith for the plaintiffs
are that the bill signed by the president
was not the bill that passed congress, one
section having been omitted, and that sec
tion 3, giving the president power to con-
tinue or suspend duties in certain
contingencies in the interest of reciprocity,
is unconstitutional, because congress can
not delegate such powers. 1t is also set up
that the sugar bounty is an unconstitu-
5ional diversiC of the public money to
private benef, Assistant District Attor-
ney Platt maintained that the at might
be valid, though one section was uncon-
stitutional. lie did not believe that any
was. As 10 the unconstitutionality of
5ounties, every tariff bill and every tax
imposed thereby granted a bounty. True,
shat bounty might be indirectly granted,
but Its benefits were quite as precise as if
the bounty were directed. Judge Laco-
tube reserved his decision.

Some PeonIe Never Learn.

1t is surprising how some people will
continue to use things in daily life with
out any attempt to learn how properly
to use them. There is, for instance, the
man who can never learn to sharpen his
razor, the woman who winds her watch
the wrong way, the people who do not
know that the time of starting the prin-
cipal trains on the different railroads
and the time of closing the mails is ad-
vGtised III the newspapers, the people
who blow out the gas, the folks who
jump the wrong way from moving
car, the unfortunates who are always
getting left or suffering injury or losing
property because Of unfamiiarity with
things they ought to know.-New York

MEMORY.

Out through the trees you rode that day.
To keep the tryst that our hearts had made'
Or was il a chance that went that way,
And met you there in the shades
Along the lane with no break Of sky
Together we measured our horses pace,
And the shadows came through the branches
high
Over Your downcast face
Was it true what you told me then, sweetheart,
In the golden glow Of the days that passed,
Was it false what you said when twas time TO
part
From dream too sweet to last'
Tonight you sit in the candies glare
And greet the man that they say you'll wed;
Is there no thought Of the summer there,
Or the old, old love leng deadt
The violns playing that old love tune
Makes me think Of the past again,
The tender words IN my fancy Groom
And see you now-as then,
When out through the trees you rode that day
To keep the tryst that our hearts had made;
Or was it a chance that went that way,
And met you there in the shades

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-The Illinois supreme
court, through Justice Baker, has decided
hat the Chicago ely ordinance requiring
street parades to have permit from the
superintendent of police is uncoustitu-

quiremeut subversive of liberty. The
matter, he says, should not be left to the
caprice of a single official clothed with
arbitrary power to dictate not only to citi-
Zens, but to political parties, religious de
nominations and civic societies. To be
legal, the ordinance must determine the
condition under which parades and pro
CessIons will be unlawful The cause is
