"Perhaps you would not think 80, but
a very large proportion of disease in
New York comes from carelessness about
catching cold." says DR.. Syrus Edison.
ut is such a simple thing and 80 COM
mon that very few people, unless it is q
case of pneumonia, pay any attention to
a cold. New York is one OF the heAlthi-
eat places on the Atlantic coast and yet
there are great many cases of catarrh
and consumption which have their origin
in this neglect of the simplest precaution
of everyday life. The most sensible ad-
vice is, when you have one get rid OF it
as soon as possible. By all means do
not neglect it," DR.. Edison does not tell
how to cure a cold, but we will. Take

The horned sea serpent, otherwise 1.-THE
Pearl island monster" excited moro curl
osity among scientific men than any other
marine snake of modern years. 1t was
seen late in 1888 by Captain Seymour and
others of the officers and crew of the New
England boat Hope On while they were
lying off the Pearl islands, 40 or 30 miles
from Panama, watching for whales. Cap
tain Seymour describes the creature as be-
ing 40 or 80 feet in length, with very
large and fine hOrsclike head, having two
twisted unicorn shaped horns protruding
from near the ears. Besides being provid-
ed with name, ears and horns, this Pearl
island monster also had legs, four in mum.
Der, much resembling large, nattened
double jointed tlippers. His skin was of a
dull bronze hue, profusely spcckled with
large black spots, and tail which all
hands agree in saying was forked or split
for at least ten feet back from the point
1t was seen on two different days, and if
whales had not been sighted at about the
same time an effort would have been made
to capture it, The accounts of Captain
Seymour and those of his men agree in ev-
cry essential particular, even to the ap-
proXimate size of the huge creatures great
lidless eyes. 1t is important to note in
this connection that the officers and men
of the Pacific Mail steamers which ply the
same waters have frequently seen the rep
tile, but never so closely as did those
aboard the Hope On.-St. Louis Republic.

Etiquette of Introduction.

In point of precedence in presenting
there is none, only the younger woman to
the older, and man to a woman, a pro-
fessional man always by his title Tho
woman in her own home should always
shake hands when a guest is presented;
men should shake each other hands. The
southern fashion Of woman extending
her right hand to a man is charming. 1t
is now carried out to some extent in New
York.
AT ball the introductions should be
distinctly formal. Handshaking is not
correct and here again common sense
comes in, for it is most awkward for n
woman to place flowers and fan while
shaking hands.
No man, when presented to a woman at
a dance, should fail in asking for her card.
His Introduction means dance.
What is the best form Of presenting PEG.
ple'
None is so good as the simplest. Miss
Brown, may present m dear friend, Mr..
Jones?" is all that is most elegant
At any function less important than a
large ball it is always pleasant to add d
little note of interest to the presentation,
which breaks the ice and leads the way for
conversation.
These matters may seem bit trivial at
first, but the omission of them does not
lead to pleasurablo results.-New York

A friend of the poet Shelley says that he
was most fanciful in his habit Of forming
some wild theory and then seeking conilr-
nation of 1t in the events of everyday
life. If they did not bear him out, he was
naturally indignant. One particular en-
counter with a prosaic Englishman must
have been somewhat astonishing to the
man, who was not accustomed to poets and
their modes Of reasoning.
At one time Shelley saw the zodiac in
everything, and as he was passing an inn
with his friend he noticed that the house
bore the sign of the "Horscshocs.
There were four on the sign, and he i'm
mediately came to the conclusion that
they had been handed down from remote
antiquity to represent the compartments
of the zodiac. He stepped into the house.
"Your sign is the Horseshoes?' he said
to the landlord.
YES, sir
'This sign has always four horseshoes''
''Why, mostly sir"
"Not always!'
81 think l have seen three"
~ cannot divide the zodiac into 5hree, -
said Shelley musingly, "but it's mostly
four. Do you know why it's mostly four?'
why, sir, l suppose because horse has
four legs"
The poet bounced out of the house in
great Indignation, crying to his friend,
Did you ever see such fool?'-Youth's
Companion.

hear a humble of jargon at your Shout

that he has attracted your attention he
ranges alongside and fires German
broadside at you. You shake your head,
and he brings French volley into play.
Another shake Of the head, and he rakes
you with Italian. All these falling, he

answer him smoothly, and then, holding
you with his eye, of the ancient mariner

you into the snug haven of q doorway and
starts to spin his yarn of the storms and
shoals of the great city.

Burial Among the sihanakas.

Among the Sihanakas there are no reg
ular burying places Tor the dead bearing
any resemblance to the cemeteries with
which Europeans are familiar, and in tho
majority of cases nothing but a simple Sc.

terment has taken place. In few soil
tary instances 1 have found rude human
figures carved in wood placed upright at

advanced state of decay, and I have not
heard of any of recent date.

The Mule and the Turtle.

ITO the traditional antipathies of the
animals, " gossiped the planter from North
Carolina, must be added the mutual dis
likes of the mule and the turtle. Whether
it IS the uncanny appearance or the subtle,
flshlilie odor of the turtle | am unable to
say. But if he pops up his head from the
water in the same field where a mule is at
work there will be no more blowing corn
that day.
Il have known mules which would not
go near the brook for days because turtle
had trailcd of under the bushes when they
werJ taken down to drink. And l have
seen them take the bit between their teeth
and break out of a field on "a dead run
when the scent of turtle was in the air.
There are some who believe that the
mules mistake terrapins for muskrats.
Nearly every plantation mule which has
worked by the waterside has been annoyed
b., putting its hoof through the soil down
into the muskrats winter home. And his
antipathy for the muskrat thus becomes a
question of experience if not of instinct. "

THE HAWK KNEW HIM.
How Trained Bird That Had Deserted
a Ship Was Recovered.


81 don't know that tho ancient sport Of
falconry has ever been in vogue in this
country" said Captain L. Il. Metcalf of
Montreal. 1T is rather odd, considering
how fond many Americans are of copying
everything that is done on the other side
of the water
"When l was in England several years
ago, l obtained possession of peregrino
hawk, which 1 brought with me on my
return home During the voyage across
the Atlantic it was my custom to allow
the bird the use of its wings every day,
takingcar to give it hearty meal before
band, that it might not be tempted to dart
off after some passing scagull and lose
sight of the ship. In spite of the preCau-
ton, the bird was missing one day. Night
came on, and still the hawk did not ap-
pear and l made upmy mind that would
never see my pet again. Soon after my
arrival home, in CHANGING over Halifax
paper, l noticed paragraph stating that
the captain of fishing schooner who re-
sided at that point had brought n fine
hawk into port, which he said had sudden
ly come aboard his vessel duEng his lato
voyage. at once jumped to the conclu-
sion that it must be my falcon and lost no
time in setting out for Halifax to investi-
gate. On finding the captain who had the
bird l learned that he had no intention OF
giving up his prize, saying that it was easy
for any one to claim property, but it was
another thing to prove the ownership of it.
My object was to recover the hawk
rather than to pick a quarrel with the
pugnacious sailor, so l curbcd my anger
and proposed to settle the question by OK

scented. The tost was this: | was to be adj
mittCd to an interview with the bird in
the presence of witnesses. Since in the
possession of the captain the hawk had
stood on its dignity and repealed any at
tempts at familiarity. If now it should
show any signs of recognition toward me
and attachment, especially if it should
play with the buttons on my coat the cap.
tain was to give up his claim.
THE bird was accordingly brought in.
In an instant she dashed at my shoulder,
showing every sign Of recognition and
delight. She rubbed her head against my
check and plryfully champed the buttons
ON my coat with her beak. The witnesses
rendered verdict in my favor, and, to dc
him justice, the captain willingly gavo up
his claim, and l bore my pet homo in tri

German Penny Dreadfuls.

The penny dreadful" is not unknown,
as it seems, in Germany, where it bears
the characteristic title of "shudder ro-
nance" 1t is not sold in the shops, as
among us, but is carried about from street
to street and village to village by an army
of colporteurs. The Berlin Tagliche Rund-
schau asserts that there are no fewer than
1870 shudder romance colporteurs who
earn their bread by the sale of the weekly
numbers of these novels in Germany and
Austria. 1t estimates the regular sub
scribers at about 1000, 900! The novels of
crime and horror are not complete in one
number, like those in our comparatively
innocent penny novelettes, but usually
run about $50 weekly numbers and rarely
conclude in less space than 100 numbers.

Breakfast depends upon the point of
view. Occupation and temperament have
much to do with the bill of fare. The
business woman likes her chop, outlet or
bite of steak, bowl of oaten meal, hot bis
cults, hot coffee and a taste of fruit. She
may or may not have the muscular energy
to digest that quantity of food, but she eats
1t because her people ate it, because it is
her habit
The housewife takes the first cup of cof-
fee made. When her husband appears, she
has coffee with an egg on toast, and when
her grown son comes down she has moro
coffee and perhIps a pancake with jelly.
The woman i'll art, whether music, paint
ing or the drama, is satisfied with a roll,
cube of sweet butter and coffee and milk

How PrOprictors Keep Track Of Free
