ally arranged, the first day was to be
the best. The local club has been very
fortunate, however, in retaining all
the crack riders for to-day's races, and
the attractions will be greater than
ever. Three thousand three hundred
and sixty-seven people passed through
the gates into the grounds yesterday,
and there should be twice as many To-
day.

How to Cure a Cold.

Almost everybody has a remedy for
cold, which he is ever ready to
recommend te others after detailing
his own experience.
The Boston Jom2eal oi' Commerce
quotes from medical writer some
advice on this subject which seems to
be more than ordinarily useful.
When one becomes chilled, or takes
cold, the mouths Of lnyriads OF LITTLE
sweat glands are suddenly closed, and
the impurities which Should pass off
through the skin are forced back at
the interior OF the body, vitiatiug the
blood and putting extra work on the
lungs and other internal organs. JUST
beneath the surface of the skin, all
ovel The body, there is a network OF
minute blsod vessels, finer than the
finest lace. When one is chilled the
blood is forced from these capillary
XeSsels into ene or more of the inter
! nal organs, producing inflammation
or congestion, and thus often causing
diseases dangerous to life The time
to treat a cold is at the earliest pos
Sible moment after You have taken
it. Md your prime object should be
to restore the perspiration and the
capillary circulation. As soon, then,
as yoa feel that you have taken cold
have good fire in your bedroom.
Put your feet into hot water, as hot
as can be borne, and containing y
tablespoonful of mustard. Have it
in a vessel SO deep that the water
will come mp we'll toward the knees.
Throw a blanket over the whole to
prevent rapid evaporation and cool
inc. In from five to ten minutes
take the feet out, wipe them dry, and
get into bed on which there are two
extra blankets. Just before or after
getting into bed drink large glass
of lemonade as hot as possible, or a
glass of hot water containing tea
spoonful OF cream Of tartar, with a
little sugar if desired. Should
there be pain in the chest, side or
back indicating pleurisy or pneumo-
MIA, dip a small towel in cold water
and wiring it as dry as possible. Fold
the towel so that Il will cover lit
tie more surface than is affected by
the pain. Cover this with piece OF
flannel, and both with oiled silk, or
better, with oiled linen; now wind a
strip of flannel foot wide several
times around the chest. The heat
of the body will warm the towel
almost Immediately, the oiled linen
and flannel will retain the heat and
moisture, and, steaming the part,
will generally cause the pain to dis
appear. Should there be pain or
soreness in the throat, you should
treat in similar manner with wet
compress and fannek bandage. Eat
sparingly OF plain, simple food.
Baked apples and other fruit, bread
and butter, bread and milk, milk
toast, baked potatoes orraw oysters
may be eaten. By following the
above directions intelligently and
! Faithfully you wifi ordinarily check
the progress Of the cold and prevent
serious, possibly fatal, illness.

Approximately, 425 House apd 235
Senate bills and Joint Resolutions
became laws, making $50 Acts put
on the statute books as the result OF
the work of Congress. a majority
of these measures were of interest
only to individuals or localities, being
for the relief OF citizens, for the
bridging of streams, for the District
of Columbia, for rights of way, etc.
An unusual proportion of claims bills
were for the relief of Southern men.
The House passed, in round nam.
bers, 624 bills, of which 200 failed
of passage in the Senate, and in the
neighborhood of 625 bills passed by
the Senate failed in the House, in
Guiding a long list OF public building
bills, many private pension bills and
other measures including increased
expenditures.
Three bills were vetoed by the
President, viz: To refer the McGar-
rahan claim to the Court Of Claims
Ca second McGarrahan bill failing OF
action in the House), to amend the
Court of Appeals Act, and in rela-
ton to marshals in United States
Courts in Alabama. This last bill
became law by passage over the
veto, Senator Hoar stating that 1t
had been vetoed through misunder-
standing OF its provisions.
The President subjected three bills
to ''pocket" veto, and two other
bills failed of engrossment IN time
for presentation to him. All were
of comparatively small Importance.
Among the measures OF import
ance which failed to get the endorse
ment of either House Were bills for
the creation of a sub-treasury sys-
TEN; for an extensive system OF for
tifcations; for uniform system OF
bankruptcy; for taxation of Federal
notes and repeal of the tax on State
banks; to transfer the revenue cut

pooling (beaten on test vote; to
establish postal savings banks; for
an income tax; to refund the cotton
tax; to repeal the mail ship subsidy
Act; to repeal the Federal election
laws.

For good whitewash take half a
bushel OF rock lime, slack it with
boiling water, cover it during the
process to keep in the steam, strain
the liquid through a fine sieve, add
to it peck of salt, previously well
dissolved in warm water; then add
three pounds Of ground rice boiled to
thin paste and stirred in boiling
hot; half a apound of Spanish whit
ing and one pound OF clear glue
which has been previously dissolved
by soaking it Wei, and then hanging
over slow fire in small kettle
within large one filled whitewater.
Add FIVE gallons of hot water to the

Winter silk petticoats are beauties
and have adapted themselves to cold
weather and taken on luxurious
warmth with their prettiness. This
has been managed by lining them
with flannel. Delightful color COM
binations are produced thus: For
example, a. striped shot-silk of blue,
fawn and yellowis is lined with blue
flannel. The edge has ruffie SINH
larly lined and the two pinked
together. Other skirts have the ruff
tie's edge turned in and several rows
of cord stitched between the outside
and lining. a small woven cord
sewed along the edge prevents the
skirt from wearing. Quilted skirts
are greatly in vogue and are made
from the fabric spoken of above, and
also from varieties woven on purpose
for skirts. Moreen skirts also are
much worn. They are woven with
moire effects and are plain and In

Burpee's beautifully illustrated
Farm Annual is sent to each and
every customer the first of January
each year. From this annual one can
make his selections Of seeds, with
full directions when and how to plant,
and with as much assurance of sue
cess as if present at their immense
warehouses in Philadelphia. All
seeds sold by them are guaranteed
perfect of their kind, and considering
the quality are cheaper than can be
bought anywhere else. ANY one
orderingas much as 81 worth OF seeds
is allowed to select packets to the
amount of 22 cents extra, thus getting
s1.25 worth OF seeds for 81. Postage
is paid by the firm on all packets Of
seeds ordered from them to any part
of the United States, and no respon-
sible scotsman in the world can afford
to sell seeds equally as pure for less
money.
In addition to the large supplies of
garden ard farm seeds grown and
sold by Burpee & Co., they are said
to be among the largest growers OF
flower seeds in the world. Many
acres of their grounds at Fordhook
are devoted to growing rare and spe-
cial flowers alone.
Another important feature Of the
establishment is their large and COM
plete department of fancy poultry
and thoroughbred stock. But, as this
communication is already longer than
was intended, a sketch Of this,
together with the growth OF special
flowers, may be given in a future

for treasury notes has been followed
by Chicago bankers, who offered
S50o,e9o in gold TOR United States
notes. At the Treasury Department
it is thought that bankers IL other
cities vii! do likewise. There is a
feeling OF relief as to the gold bal
ance at the treasury, and unless the
exports Of gold Saturday are unuSu-
ally heavy, OF which no information
has vet been received, the Treasury
Department will have ample gold 10
supply the demand.
The treasury to-day received gold
at several points. In New York the
gain made in gold was 100000,
while at New Orleans it received
$4,000 in gold exchange for like
amount in silver certificates. No
intimation has yet been received that
any gold viii be exported on Satur-
day from New York and at the pres
ent rate of exchange it is not thought
that any will be taken out OF the
country. The treasury has now more
than s3,0c0,000 in free gold, and in
the usual condition of trade this Is
likely to be increased rather than
diminished. 1t is quite plainly inti
mated in the Treasury Department
to-day that as between the issue OF
bonds and the use Of a portion of the
sl0o,o00,0o0 gold reserve, ii neces-
sary to maintain the parity OF gold
and silver, Secretary Carlisle will
resor, to the latter plan, but that he
does not anticipate that the necessity
will arise to do SO.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March O.
The one great feature of interest in
political circles to-day is the visit of
Senator David B. Hill to his greatest
political rival, President Cleveland.
Senator Hill came to the White
House this morning by appointment,
presumably arranged by Congress
man Rockwell, of New York, during
his visit to Mr.. Cleveland Tuesday.
That his visit .yas more than mere
perfunctory call is attested by the
length of the interview. 1t lasted
twenty INMATES and during that time
Cleveland received 10 cards from the
waiting politicians in the cabinet
room. Mr.. Hill came early. The
great flood OF office-seekers had not
begun to flow into the White House
twken he arrived He passed rapidly
through the hallway to the public
part Of the mansion to the room OF
Private Secretary Thurber, WHO evil
dently had been posted, for he.Ash-
cred Hill into the adjoining exeep-
tive office without moments delay.
When Hill entered the Presidents
room word was sent to Door Keeper
Loefier that Cleveland was very
busily engaged and could not see any
visitors for some time. As a conse-
quence the arriving delegations soon
filed the cabinet room, and by the
time Hill left the White House there
were more men than seats IN the
apartment. The interview was, OF
course, of strictly private charse:
ter, but from the fact that it.haa
been previously arranged, and from
tits length, there can be little doubi
THAT it was. of more than a raere Off:
j cial social character. i:ss ".

GLOWING February, when he came

We now happened to learn his early
history. and how he came to us. Three

brought in from the country by son
Of the janitor who lived in the build

caught by the cats. or had fallen down
the stairs, except tins little fellow; and
he had crept in behind coal bin in
the hall, and slept there all winter till
he came to us.
In this way we learned that gophers,
like bears and some other animals,
sleep, or hibernate, as it is called,
during large part of the year, which
accounts for the fact that they are
seldom seen except in spring and early
summer; and so they escape the sum
mer's heat and winters cold in their
underground nests, and come out full of
vigorous new life in spring.
You will be sorry to learn that poor
little Tommy came to a sad end. There
was always a vessel of water left for
him, but one Saturday night it was for

basin to get drink, and fell into the
water and was drowned. not being able
to climb up the slippery sides and get
