Wet Feet and Colds.

DIR. Brown-Sequard is said to recon-
mend the following as the best way TO
overcome susceptibility to taking cold
from getting the feet wet: dip the
feet in cold water and let them remain
there a tew seconds. The next morning
dip them in again, letting them remain
in few seconds longer; the next morn
ing keep them in a little longer yet and
continue this till you can leave them IN
half an hour without taking cold. In
this way a person can become accustom-
ed TO the cold water, and he will not
take cold from this cause. But be it
thoroughly understood that the harden
ing must be done carefully"

Some Parisian Tricks.

Some ingenious fruit dealers of Paris
have invented a way Of cOlOring their
wares in order TO improve their market
value. They color ordinary oranges a
deep red, making them look like man
darins, which fetch higher prices. They
tint plneapples TO make them look more
attractive and dye the common white
strawberries a lovely red. Melons are
treated in a similar way and tinted a
fine orange, their flavor being increased
by injecting an essence of lemon. The
latest development Of this business is in
connection with pears, which are dyed
red for third of their size, and blue
below, thus presenting the national color
when peeled. These are said to be in
some demand for dessert fruit on ac-
count of their novelty.-LOndon Daily
