A Cold I'm Qhe Head.

It is probable that not more than ten supposed colds have any conn ec ton with the closing of the pores. Most if not all of the irritation in the nasal passages. the inflammation of the mucous surfaces. not only Of the nasal passages. but of the throat, etc., with the sores about the nose and on the lips, usually regarded as ''cold sores" '" have their origin in deranged state of the stomach, the inner surface of that organ having similar appearance. As result Of improper dietetic habits, taking food very difficult of digestion. too much of ordinary food, or at i'm. proper times. and eating so rapidly that it k not half masticated. some have a continuous head cold, ant are unable to breathe with the mouth closed. thus inducing additional dis ease. Ire appropriate treatment of such supposet colds. etc., is the adopt ion of simple hab ts. careful dieting. making the grains and fruits more than usually prominent. eating flesh very sparingly, If at alt, and no pork. These supposed colds have led many persons to take undue care of the head. in con- trast with the feet, which demand great deal more attention as the means of wardiug od such dreaded evils An other doctor says there is no doubt that many colds come through tho feet. Thin sd. shoes. or thick soles, stand ing on ice or snow, or cold wood, until the sole attains the same degree of cold as that on which it rests; then cold feet. cold legs, cold abdomen, cold lungs. cold in the throat aud in the head.

The Famous Carlson Cottage.

The Carlson cottage at 1872 Ashland avenue, Chicago, in which Dr. Cronin was murdered May 4, 1889. is no longer a remunerative piece of property for the owners. Even on the anniversary of the crime this year only an occasional
 visitor paid the requisite fee of 10 cents The Carlson family reside there. It is neatly furnished. A card on which the following words are printed in bold letters hangs in one of the windows: Garrison cottage now open to exhibi- tiOn: admission 10 cents.' Ever since the horrible murder the place has been visited by stream of townspeople and strangers who have examined with deep interest the spot whore the doctor fell under the storm of murder0us blows Lately the number of visitors has decreased and only occasionallv now is q crowd of gaping folks seon il front Of the O'Sullivan honse on tho next streok s <

 What the Bariugs, the Goldsmi6s, the Couttses and the Hopes did not dare to try he had the nerve to under- take. Like the Paris Rothschilds, he secured large gains by supplying money to the armies in the field. He pur- chased Wellingtons drafts, which Eng lands treasury for moment could not meet, and renewed them to the gov ernment. This gave him his first pull on the government business.
 Nathan Rothschild did, in his day, all the feats which modern newspaper correspondents have been so much

 Arriving at the coast no sailor was willing to venture to Sea because a storm was raging. He offered success svely 300, 1000, 1,500, 2,00o, and 2,500 francs for boat to Dover within an hour. That last offer was too much for hardy fisherman. who yielded and took him across. Both rlsked their lives, but at sunset Nathan was at Dover. On swift horses he rode through the night 10 London. In the morning he was on change gloomy as,an ancient prophet, selling down, down, down against Wellington, whispering of de- feats of England and Prussia by Ma poleon, and buying through secret channel everything that he sent down.
 Forty eight hours afterward came the news of Wellingtons victory. Everything went up! Nathan sold out and is said to have made millions by this little transaction.
 The rise of the Rothschilds in En- fish society began with the removal Of the political disa abilities of Lionel Rothschild so that he could take his place in the House of Commons as it's leading Hebrew member. He was elected as early as 1S47. but did not oc- cupv his seat because Euglish stupidity persisted in demanding the oath lon the true faith of n Christian He was elected Il times before the odious pro- viso was removed

dirty narrow lane called the Juden- gnsse, or Jews lane
 In this foul-smelling lane lived Meyer Amschel Rothschild. the founder of tho great firm. He lost both parents at an early age and was destined hy his Seiatives for the priesthood. His taste for business was stronger. however, than his relatives wishes. and he en- tered small banking house in Han over.
 Having at last amassed sufficient capital he returned 10 the Judengasse ond started as n money lender under the sign or the Red Shield
 In 1872 he died worth 8. 00o, 000 This fortune, which he intrusted to his five sons. is now estimated at over billion, and is still growing like snowfall.
 Tho harmony and union which Never Amschel made his five sons swear when they were assembled around his death. bed has never been broken. Each Roth- schiid's business and fortune is com- pact to protect the firms name. How many partners are there in this i'm mense firm which does business with empires and kingdoms every days X few years ago there were no less than 70 Of these partners, and the number goes on increasing. These are the fourth in dcscent from Never Amschel Rothschild. The rule of intermarriaga Is still kept up almost as vigorously as in the royal circles of Europe. and intermarriage seems only to increase the brightness or these phenomenally bright people.
 The adventure of the unIucky Gus tave de Rothschild brings the Paris branch of the family rather prominent ly into view. The first of these Paris Rothschids was Baron Solomon. Solo, mons brother. Baron James de Roth- schild. took charge of the Paris house in 1872.
 Baron James carried on two-thirds of the great financial operations under Louis Philippe and the second empire. Men called him the preteur des rois uhe Kings money ienderL
 He took the initiative in building railroads in France notably the North. ern ot France. The Rothschilds 10. day virtually own this vast mentioned road.
 He never carried on his person more than 90 francs sclol at time. II have saved 100000 f,s.ncs that wav.n he said. ''Ons lets himself be carried away by chances for investment if he carries money with him." he used to say.
 Toward the end of his life he was n little eccentric. At his club in the Rue Royaie people laughed at hls pocketbook, which he unlocked with

EGYPTIAN DOG MUMMIES.
SOME THAT HAVE RECENTLY
 BEEN UNEARTHED.
Egyptians Nzummiied Pretty Nearly Everything That Died-Mummies of Cats.

No doubt the old Egyptians num- milied pretty nearly everything that died. In December, 1850, Prof l.. Beckmann, noted Psychologist, pro- cured through friend in Carlo the mummy of an animal found in the neighburhood of Thebes This mummy was seut to him as being that of cat, but upon close inspection it proved to be that of a small domestic canine of the size of u greyhound. Mummies of dogs are much rarer than those of cats. winch are found in large numbers. and the specimen sent to him differs in many essential points from he mummy of it's feline partner in the old Egyp- tian household.
 Figure l represents the outward ap- pearance of the mummy. In color 1t is of dirty, yellowish white and deep asphaltum brown. It is possible that the eyes and lips were formerly tinted, but no positive evidence remains as to the certainty of that statement. The thing is wrapped in fine material of a close weft, a stuff that is mixture of linen and silk. Over tine entire front part of the body is drawn delicate tress-work made of narrow strips of the same fine goods and in the shape of a chemisette. The head. with ears still raised, is given it's natural propor- tious by several layers of this stuff be- ing pasted over the real head. Still another piece Is wound around the

MobbIng a seaut,fu Woman.

Thirty or forty years ago q New Orleans mob uprose in behalf of . negro slave and undertook to avenge his cruel treatment. Not only this-- they pursued and would have hanged the owner of the unfortunate slave. That owner was a beautiful woman. immensely wealthy, and the giver of sumptuouS entertainments. The story is ohe of the most thrilling in the history of the city. It was whis. pered that the lady in the case ill., treated certain of her slaves, kept, them chained in dungeon, and sub jected them to starvation. She was, however woman of great wealth and influence, and managed to quiet these rumorS.
 A fire occurred on her estate, wheth- CT started by some of the slaves or not Is not recalled. When citizens tiocked to the place ana began to tear down the burning building the awful evidence of the maltreated slaves met their eyes. One of the poor creatures was chained. The fury of the mob was fearful. They besieged the palace of the beautiful woman, who, with un- paralled boldness, ordered her coachman to drive to her door, dress ed in her most brilliant costume and with as much composure as if she were taking her usual evening drive, step- ped in and directed the coachman to whip up his horses.

Carrying Umbrellas Horizontally.

A man just back from a winter in Germany says: "The only way of stopping the dangerous practice of carrying canes and umbrellas hori- zontally has long been known to the. people of Berlin There man no sooner tucks his walking stick under his arm than he feels quick blow on it from behind It either drops to the pavement or assumes the only proper and safe position in which stick can be carried. There is no use in his get- ting angry with the person who struck the blow or in his trying to do him up for public opinion is with the regula- tor ot the barbarous and indefensible practice of which 1 speak. l have seen dozens of Americans treated to this discipline in Inter den Linden while they were endangering the eyes and discommoding the bodies of the. crowds there. Most of them whirled about with fight bristling all over them, but glance or two at the angry faces around them usually sufficed tos calm them down.-New York Sun.

In her prime she was remarkably handsome.

sappnires, rubies and garnets-the
hrst named gems, OF blue and green
shades, being the most numerous.
In the rough, various valuations
were placed upon them, varying from
$15 to $40, according to size and
promise of clear and brilliant cut.
"My boy not long ago sold a stone
for rs cents that the jeweler got SIS
for," said Mr.. Stubbs.
"How's that ?" inquired the re-
porter.
"Oh, it simply turned out cIeaver,
a prettier gem than anyone thought
who looked at it in the rough. The
leweler himself was happily deceived,
the IS cents paid for it being all he
thought it worth. Coming back from

beautiful sapphire of greenish-blue
tint, and Gust cmer was quick to pay
