down on the hoor to look for II.
The man. too. got down, and with their
hands they felt over the area within
reach. Then the man felt In his pockets

and the two explored with their eyes.
Their neighbors, seeing their trouble

aoor and commenced exploring 1t with
matches.
The interest spread; there was q gen.
eral movement. Even tho people the
farthest removed felt that II was only
polite to do something and made vague
movements with their feet and swept
the floor anxiously with their eyes.
At length, when the excitement was at
It's height, the lost article was found.
There was q general interest In the car
to know what they had all been hunting
for.
The disgust Of everybody may DO

Russian Drivers-

Mime. do Ujfalvy. Bourbon, describing
her travels In western Siberia, says that
for q part Of tho way she and her hus-
band drove from town to town with
horses hired from the Cossacks. They
were fine horses and travelled with fright.
full rapidity. Generally they were un.
accustomed to being driven together.
Only the middle one-the most docile-
was harnesaed before the time for start
ing. The others were not brought out
until the driver was on his seat. When
the manager Of the station pronounced
the word gator (ready), the carriage
bounded forward. Tho horses tore mad.
ly on for Is or 20 minutes, and u was
hard to tell whether they or the driver
had the mastery.
On the plain IL was magnificent drive.
When the horses were well started. the
driver let the reins hang loose. and they
kept upa fine pace. The driver had them
well In hand. and there was no danger;
he calmed and guided them with wonder

How Nor TO TAKE CoLD.-A little
bit of really valuable advice for this sea-
son of the year: Keep your mouth
shut. If people would only do this
they would avoid colds and coughs,
and oftimes serious illness. The pre-
scription is 3 very simple one, and not
even the merit of originality can be
claimed for it but it undoubtedly is
efIicacious. Mr.. Catlin, the celebrated
traveller among the North American H.
dams, discovered that they were free
from many of the diseases which atfiict
civilized nations, and he attributed this
exemption to the practice of keeping
their mouths closed at almost all times,
except when they are eating or talking
The mothers teach the children this
from their earliest infancy. And does
it not stand to reason that it is better 10
breathe through the nostrils the chilly
air when leaving heated room for the
street, or even when going into cold
passage, than letting it 60 straight to
the lungs in an ordinary way? Mr.:
Catiu declares that "Shut your mouth"
is the most important motto which the
human language can CONGREGATIONAL

1t is announced i'll the dispatches that
one of the principal railway systems be-
tween Chicago and the east has already
laid off its extra passenger trains, put
on and scheduled for worlds fair traffic,
the reason for the discontinuance being
the failure of an increase in travel as
anticipated on account of the mamie
nance of the high rates by the roads.
The managers OF the trunk lines are
making great mistake, SO far as their
own interests, as well as those of the fair
are concerned, in surprising that they
are going to have heavily laden trains 10
Chicago until they make more favorable
rates. However much the thousands of
people throughout the country may de-
sire to attend the fair, the do not "have
to CO." and unless concessions are made
thousands will forego the pleasure of
visiting the fair, who otherwise will
attend.
