Perhaps the greatest cause of pneumonia in
this country is the extreme difference in tenn
perature between the interiors of Offices and
homes and the outside air. So long as people
consider it necessary for their comfort to
maintain a hot-honse temperature indoors,
when the mercury is very low outside, SO long
Will pneumonia find victims.
The greatest care and prompt measures should
be taken upon the first approach of the slightest
symptoms OF pneumonia. If you have tickling
In the throat, tightness in the chest, pain in
the head, chilly feeling, or pains throughout
the body, act promptly, act wisely-bring about
an immediate reaction. This can some
times be accomplished by quick and violent
exercise, but that is exhausting and wastes the
strength which should be husbanded. far
better plan is to take pure and strong stimu-
iant, which will tend to equalize the circula-

Ihere are many forms of stimulation, but only
one that can be recommended-that is Duffy's

Men Of Cultivated Taste.

There are about 200 tea tasters in
this city, a well-paid class OF men,
most of whom in the course of nature
will die of kidney disease superinduced
by their unwholsome occupation. The
habits of these men are exceedingly
curious. Some OF them refuse to ply
their trade save in the morning, on
the ground that the sense of taste
cannot be trusted after it has been
bewildered by hours fwork. Most of
them avoid the use of tobacco and
of highly seasoned food. Their &C.
curacy Of taste is astonishing. A tea
faster will grade and price dozen
qualities Of tea all from the same
cargo. All this accuracy seems unnec-
essary, however, for grocers unhesitat-
ingly sell the same tea to different per-
sons at very different prices, so ignor-
ant are most persons OF quality in
teas.-New York Sun.

them on as a concession to public
taste and demand. They would much
prefer to appear in long gowns like
the rest OF their sisters if the require

powerful with them than the desire to
be comfortable themselves. They put
their health in peril in order that thew

MANS FIRST DWELLING,

A Remarkable Habitation Found in
the Low Countries of South
America.
Long, long ago, some men travelling:
IN the low countries of South America
came upon a remarkable dwelling.
Only a little one-story habitation,
7x9 feet, left by it's owners sweet and
clean. A cot of one room, just large
enough to hold a whole family OF little
ones, provided they did not need too
much room for running and jumping
Such a beautifully decorated little
dwelling. None but a master in the art
could have fashioned the delicately
ornamented roof reaching high above
the vines clinging about it, and a root
warranted not to leak during the
heaviest rain, and Ito last for ages
and ages. There were two entrances
to this primitive mansion, one at the
front, and one at the rear not very
large, to be sure but large enough for
one to crawl through comfortably,
and these entrances, scalloped and
cut with q perfection not to be ex~
celled, were always open, too, as if
waiting for an occupant And all to
| be had rent free. Now. was not this a
remarkable structure for our travel
ers to find in the wilderness?
There were unmistakable proofs.
too, Of it's having been inhabited, and
by savages, undoubtly OF very an

discoveries found only one perfect

WINGED them they had found not only
a perfect armor OF the Glyptodon, the
gigantic armadillo ofprehistoric times,
| but what was still more wonderful,
that this armor, abandoned by it's,
original wearer, had become, proba-
bly, the very first habitation OF man..
The only perfect one of these dwell

in the possession OF the French gov

In about an hour after the abovc
conversation the carriage was on it's
way for the poor orphan child. 1t
was about the middle OF the afternoon
when Mable arrived at her new home;
she had expected to find one as good as
her mother; but little did she know
that she was to be treated as a. me-
NAL. .-.r
Months sped by, and she and Arthur
met frequently, and they began to
make friends with each other Little
did they know what their friendship
would ripen to!
Still Mabel was kept as a mental.
len long years passed, weary years
to the orphan girl, with no one to say
a kind word to her except Arthur.
Now Mabel was just budding into
Womanhood. So far she had looked
| upon Arthur as an elder brother; and
not until he had returned from college
| did she know how dear he was to her.
She loved him with all the ardour of
her woman's nature. Arthur, who
was destined for the bar, returned that
love- Many happy hours had the
young lovers spent in the vine-covered
arbour in the garden.

1t was pleasant June day, twelve
| years after Mabel was installed at the
| st. Clairs. Mrs. St. Clair was sum-
moned to the drawing-room, to the
! presence OF a tall stranger.
Have | the pleasure OF addressing
Mrs. st. Clair?'' said the stranger.
''You have" she returned, with
stiff bow.
II heard you had a girl in your
house by the name OF Mabel Waters.
came to bring her news OF her sup
posed dead father. Will you call HERO
Mrs. St, Clair summoned Mabel from
the kitchen. She appeared before
them in all the beauty and grace so
natural to her. She was dressed in
the plainest fashion; a plain print,
with spotless collar and cuffs. The
gentleman sat with bowed head until
she entered; then, starting as if from a
dream, exclaimed, 'This, then, is my
daughter, for whom I have sou ht SO.
long My child-my long-lost Mabel"
ooh, father, my father, is it indeed
your And she was clasped to the
bosom of her parent.
Mrs. St. Clair had stood as one in a.
trance. Could this distinguished gen.
tleman be the father OF their house
| hold drudge?
After the first burst of Joy from the
longseparated father and daughter,
Sir Francis Waters-for he was now a
Baronet, and rich--turned and said,
II thank you, Mrs. St. Clair, for the
care you have taken OF my daughter;
we will trouble you no more. Come,
Mabel, the carriage is waiting"
But, father" said Mabel. II must
see Arthur frst-but here he comes"
and as she spoke, Arthur came into
the room.
What, Mabel, going to leave me?"
he said, advancing.
ooh, Arthur," said Mabel, '|this is
my father''
Arthur advanced at once, and ex-
tended to him his hand.
MY father too-shall it not be SO,
Mabel?'
Yes, if my new-found parent will
give me up so quickly"
Eve will all live together, my child, -
responded the Baronet.
Need we add that, in two months
from the time when Mabel was thus
claimed by her father, there was a
grand wedding at the St. Clair
mansion, and Mabel Waters was
made the happy wife OF Arthur St..
Clair?
