Taking Cold.

A person in good health with fair
play easily resists cold. But when the
health flags little, and liberties are
taken with the stomach or the nervous
system, a chill is easily taken, and ac-
cording to the weak spot of the individ-
ual assumes the form Of cold or pneu-
monia, or it may be jaundice. OF all
cases OF "cold," probably fatigue is one
of the most efficient. A jaded man
coming home at night from long days
work, growing youth losing two hours
sleep over evening parties two or three
times week, or young lady doing
the season." and overfed children with
short allowance of sleep, are common
instances of the victims of the cold.
Luxury is favorable to the chill
taking; very hot rooms. soft chairs,
feather beds, create sensitiveness that
leads to catarrh.
1t is not, after all, the cold that is so
much to be feared as the antecedent
condition that gives the attack chance
of doing harm. Some of the worst
colds happen to those who do not leave
their house or even their bed, and those
who are most invulnerable are often
those who are most exposed to change
of temperature, and who by good sleep,
cold bathing and regular habits, pre-
serve the tone of their nervous system
and circulation.

In q Dynamite Factory.

Manufacturers of dynamite must feel
the insecurity of life even more keenly
than other men. They absolutely court
deatt. The factory usually consists
Of number of large houses, widely
separated from each other, and of
number of small huts away in the dis.
tance, half buried In the ground, and
used for the purpose of storing the
nitro glycerine, the essential principle
Of dynamite. Each process in the
scheme of manufacture has house for
itself. and each has chief skilled in
proportion to the danger which is en-
countored. Let us enter the great
house wherein the first process is 60
ing on. Here we find q workman
feltod and standing before tank in
which are many tons of nitro glycerine
in actual process of manufacture. The
great tank is full of glycerine, while
the acid is dripping slowly into it from
the ripe above. The mixture of pure
glycetine, nitric acid, and oil of vitrol
produces nitro glycerine, the most
deadly explosive in the world, so deadly
th.t an ounce Of it compressed would
blow you into atoms, and so liable to
explode that the least detonation or jar
will instantly fire 1t. 1t is positively
the most awful stuff to deal with that
man has ever discovered. No one
really seems to know when he is going
off, sometimes it will stand a good
shake, at others the veriest jostle will
produce disaster And there in the
tank before which I stood was enough
OF the fssrful compound to destroy
city l was anything but happy 1
could not help thinking, What if this
stuS, which often explodes by spon-
saneous combustion, should go off
while ! an here?" The foreman kindly
told me that if such thing did happen
no man would find hair of my head
or fraction of my limbs. He seemed
perfectly unconcerned as lie told the
tale, snd then he showed me a ther-
mometer dipped in the mixture. If the
heat OF this mass goes up six or seven
degrees" he said, 1.-The stuff would ex-
plode. 1 keep my eye constantly on
that glass, and if O fast rise in temper
nture took place should open the tap
at the bottom of the tank and let the
nitro g. lycerine run through an aque-
duct to a point. If were in time
enough, we'll and good, but if not
ah + L echoed his exclamation, and
suggested that q walk to the other
sheds would be change. On the way
to them I asked my guide if there had
ever been case where that shed had
been blown up, and he said "once," but
he told me that the mass is often run
OF from the tank, and nearly always
without trouble, as the record proves.
With all this I can imagine no more
dreadful life than that Of the man who
stands daily before the cistern of death,
and has but few degrees of tempera-
ture between himself and utter ami
bilation. The other sheds are bad
enough, but this one is appalling, and
! breathed quite freely when we en-
tered the apartment where the nitro
glycerine is washed, and where they
told me all about the elaborate pro-
cesses needed for its publication.

SAM MARTINS DREAM.
1t Was Too Much of a Reality for His A
sociates in Camp.

1t Was Too Much of Reality for His As
sociates in Camp.
There is one lumber camp-Hat-
fields, on North Fork-where dreams
have suddenly become unpopular. The
gang had cloyed on stories, true and
made up, songs had worn out, aud "Old
Smith" tddling had become dete stable.
How to while away the evening hours
was question. Finally some one pro.
posed dreams man to tell his
dreams and from that on dreams
aboundel-dreams short and dreams
long, dreams tragical and dreams com
ical
Thus fortnight passed, when ono
day couple of partridges were caught
in q thicket, where diet of dried ber-
ries had kept them uncommoniy fat.
Now, any kind of fresh meat is g. eat
treat in lumber camp, where for
weeks the men have eaten only corned
beef and salt pork. Hence the part
ridges were hailed with eager paatcs.
After supper the birds were dressed,
broiled, and put away for breakfast, as
the mornings were too short for such
cooking before breakfast. But now the
fact was suggested that two partridges
are only fair meal for one hungry
lumberman.
Who. then. should eat the partridges?
After several methods of deciding
had been rejected, at length it was
agreed that the man who had the be It
dream to tell in the morning should eat
them. All were to arise early enough
to give time for telling the dreams be-
fore breakfast. Bright and early the
gang gathered about the fire to hear
and decide. A droll occasion was that
dream seance in the great woods. Some
had funny dreams and some solemn
some were silly and some were worth
hearing
Finally, they reached the last man of
the gang little Sam Martin, tho
smallest man, but the largest eater in
the camp.
WAL" said he, Il dreamt that I got
up about midnight an ct up the pat
ridges an then woke up and fulfilled
my dream. I got up an ct 'em, an
iudgin' by the taste O. the fowls, my
dream was the best O. the night"
Sure enough, the birds had disap-
peared down Sam Martins throat.

Adherence to Old Fashions.

Among the most uncomfortable arti-
cles Of masculine dress is the cylinder
of sable which has been the proper
head coverings for hundred years, de-
spite its numerous disadvantages.
Though intolerable in sunshine; so sem
sitive to raindrops that an umbrella
must be carried for its special shelter;
inconvenient in travelling, it cannot be
forgotten or neglected. This curious
affair has not even a serious name. The
tenacity with which it clings to the
scheme Of costume is accounted for by
the desire of short men to look tall, by
which, although they are not taller.
they look taller. Jealousy of superior
physical advantage has brought about
many of the ugliest fashions. In wo-
mans dress this is noticeable; no sooner
is there delight in simple becoming
fashion, than there is contrived some
mock deformity, and every woman of
spirit hastens to adopt it. The most
pleasing outlines of the figure are con-
cealed by every ingenuity. 1t is vain
for man to prepare unanswerable argu-
mnnts against the fashions of the day;
they change before he can assail them,
and our folly chases another from the
memory. 1t cannot be hoping too
much that in the fullness of time the
fast flying fashions will discard all the
ludiorous, hideous, and hurtful ones,
and faultless models be adopted.

Spaniards and Buccaneers,

AS a rule, the Spanish American mer-
chantmen we're formidable floating
castles. They might carry one hundred
and fifty of a crew, with company or
two of soldiers. They mounted many
guns of heavy metal. The "muske-
teers" were freely furnished with those
bell -mouthed trabucos which belched
out bullets by the quarter bushel, and
were excessively disagreeable at close
quarters and they were clothed in
cuirasses or buff, which would turn a
ball. The poop and the forecastle were
solid forts, and the former was fur.
nished with semicircular galleries, from
which the defenders could fire with
commanding precision. There were
boarding nettings to DO triced to the
rigging and even at the waist, where
the sides were the lowest, boarding
must have been like scrambling up the
side of house.
If we turn, on the other hand, to the
light buccaneering craft, it would seem
there was no sort of equality. They
were generally schooners or brigantines
of small burden, with tall but tapering
spars, carrying tremendous weight of
canvas. Their guns were necessarily
few, though one or two were formid.
able. The mon at the most could not
be numerous, although packed away
above and below like herrings in barrel.
Where they excelled was in seaman
ship and dexterous maneuvring. In
certain light winds they had it all their
own way. If their luck was good, the
enemy's gunners would fire wide of the
small and shifting mark. Their very
audacity often saved them disaster, for
at the closest quarters it was impossible
to depress the guns SO as to do them
serious damage. When they did board
there was no need to give the watch
word-death or victory. They were
fighting not only with ropes round their
necks but with thumbscrews and hot
gridirons in the more remote prospec-
tive. That accounts for the animation
they threw into the attack. but we con.
fess we are still mystifed by the tri-
umphs that crowned their audacity,
For even the buccaneers never denied
the Spanish pluck, and the Spaniards
were likewise fighting for existence.

lSismarck'a AphOriSms

The fact that Bismarck, in his per-
sive moments, has been forger of sen.
tentious aphorisms is brought to mind
by translation of his Mote Book OF
Youth" This work dates from the
great mans nineteenth year, and it is
full of solemn remarks. For example:
Love is blind; friendship shuts the
eyes" (Which is not bad by the way).
Again, You often hear the rich man
saying to the poor man, L have no
money A great mind in certain
fashionable gatherings says as much by
its silence" I'm the tete a -tste," says
Bismarck, "a woman speaks aloud to
the man who is Indifferent to her, low
to the man she is near loving, and
keeps silence with the man she loves. /"
We seem to have heard something
like this before; but when the prince
compares wise men to stem wine ding
watches, which have attached to them.
selves the machinery for regulating
them, and other men to fashioned
watches, which need separate key,
he is entirely original. Let us conclude
with the following, which is worthy of
the author of "Three Men in Boat:
Reading medical book one fancies
one has all the maladies it describes;
similarly when reading the work of a
moralist one discovers all the faults he
points out-in others. .-x,,-

HlJaIld y

Among the Tennysons' neighbors at
Freshwater was Mrs. Julia Cameron,
the Photographic artist, many of whose
hest works are connected with Tenny-
son, and whose son--a professional
photographer-has taken many inter
esting portraits of the poet and views
of his surroundings.
Mrs. Cameron's husband was q dis
tinguished Indian civilian, and on his
retirement from the service the family
settled at Freshwater. Having many
mutual friends they speedily made the
Tennysons' acquaintance, and warm
friendship sprang up and continued
between the two families.
hrs. Cameron had taken up photog-
rapny as a "fad, and by accident, but
she rapidly became a genuine artist in
it. Her work is probably best known
to the public from the character por-
traits she made to illustrate the poet 8
creations-such as "The Day Dream, 3"
"Maud," and "Gnone."
The history of her selection of mod.
els for these characters is interesting.
"Maud" was starving Irish girl who
served her both as model and waiting
maid. The story of her Gnone is this:
Mrs Cameron was at Oxford on one
occasion. While walking in the High, I"
she passed very beautiful girl. Going
UP to her, she asked excitedly:
"Oh, who are your" {.
I'm Mrs. Donkin's cook" replied
the blushing maid.
Mrs Cameron got her address, called
on Mrs. Donkin, and obtained permis-
sion to take the girl to Freshwater for
time as a model. She is Gnone.
The sequel to the story of Mrs. Came
ron's Maud is too pretty not to be
given. When Mrs. Cameron held her
exhibition in London, Maud was sent
up with chaperon to explain the pic
lures to the public. A gentleman came
in one day, and after having asked sew.
cral questions, left. A year or two
afterward he passed into the Indian
Civil Service. but, before starting for
the East, he went down to Freshwater
and knocked at Mrs. Cameron's door,
begging for "Maud's hand.
The beautiful "Mauda was willing,
so they were married, and, like the
people of the fairy story, they lived
happily ever afterward.
