This is apparently a very simple thing
10 say and very good advice to give. No
one would take cold if he could help it.
The thing is to know what to do when
you have taken cold. When you feel
chilly it is a sign that the work which the
skin has been doing in removing the waste
water and carbonic acid from the blood
has been suddenly checked and the little
pores are closed and the system has re-
ceived a shock. The work is then thrown
upon the kidneys and lungs. The blood
vessels in these organs become congested
and as those of the lungs and throat become
filled with blood a cough sets in to try and
expel them. Now to take an opiate is
simply to paralyze the muscles so that
you cannot cough, but that does not re-
lieve the lungs OIL the kidneys. RElD'S
GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY
CURE checks the cough by stimulating
the lungs, melting the kidneys to action,
and enabling the skin to resume its for
mer condition. In this way the cough is
cured and cured permanently. Get this
great remedy of any dealer.

AN OLD MINE.
1t Has Been in Operation Not Far From

Two Centuries.
The old Dickerson iron mine, located
at Mine Hill, \. j., one of the oldest in
the country. has been finally ADAM

ing of the mine at the depth reached.
This mine has been worked almost con-
stantly for about one hundred and
seventy-five years, and the vertical
shaft has been sunk to a depth of over
one thousand feet.
There is quite an interesting history
connected with this old mine as related
in the Manufacturers Gazette. The
land above and around the mine was
taken up as a mining tract in 17l6 by
John Reading, surveyor-general of the
state, for Joseph Kirkbridge, who be-
queathed it to his three sons. The
first ore from the tract was worked
from the pockets Mt the surface, and
was carried in saddle-bags to Elizabeth,
where it was made into bar iron, t. be
transported on horseback to a market.
During the revolution ore from the mine
was converted into amor balls for the
use of Zen. Washington's little band of
fighters. The Dickerson family began
to get possession of the mine in 1850,
and in ISIS Gov. Dickcrson was ship
ping ore by the Morris canal to Penn
s%ylvania furnaces. Before that period
the mine was worked under the system
of forge rights. The owner of a forge,
or forge fire, who had an interest in
the mine would go to Mine Hill and get
ont for himself all the ore he needed.
Mining was easy enough, for the ore
cropped out from the surface in large
quantities. Its Indian name was Sue
casunna, or Z~ukkazuing, place of the
black stone"
During the days of forge rights the
ore was carried to northern New Jer-
sey to supply one hundred or more
FORCES. As legal tender was a scarce
commodity in those times, the thirty or
forty forgemen who worked at Mine
Hill paid for the raw material with
bar iron brought back from the fur
naces or FORCES, and thus the DECKER
son mine became a commercial center
for crude and manufactured iron.
After Gov. Dickerson's death in 1858
the property was controlled by his
nephews and %nieces, but IN 1860 bust
ness was SO poor that they ceased
working it, with a pile of twenty-five
thousand tons, then an enormous guam
tity, on the bank. Subsequently the
mine was leased, new machinerey was
put in, and a boom was expected. Two
yearS moo however an offset in tho

A Model Who Refused to Do Things by
Halves.
There i S a professional model at one
of the art schools here who is as great
4 stickler for the etiquette of his cali
ing as ever was the cook who refused
10 carry the baby out of a burning
building because she wasn't hired as
nurse. This model is a man of magnif-
cent physical development, and the
students always like to sketch him. Re-
Gently he took an exceptionally grace
full pose which would have aroused all
the artistic instincts of the class had it
not been accompanied by a most dis
tressing smirk. Try as they would,
the students could not bend their en-
ergies on their sketching. Every time
they looked at the expression of the
models countenance they forgot all
about his fine muscles and attitude,
and smiled at one another or looked
vexed.
Finally some n made bold to ex.
plain to him that his look was a bit
harassing, and asked him to change it.
He drew himself up proudly and said:
Cant do it. Dat look goes wild de
pose; And it did. The smirk was re-
sumed. and it remained until the end of
the posing. Not much serious sketch
ing was done, however, while it lasted.

in New York. Hostesses who entertain
from twenty to thirty guests at a dinner
have discovered that much better social
results are secured by this arrange
ment. and a prettier effect given to the
