To Offset life's share OF sadness

HOW TO AVOID A COLD.
Heroic Treatment Recommended by
 phySiciau.

Heroic Treatment Recommended by
 Physician. .e
 The first important point to be consid- cred is the skin, for the skin supplements in functions almost every organ of the body.
 The influence of cold upon the skin causes temporary blanching of the sur face. The minute blood vessels contract, and the blood recedes and aocumulates In deeper and more protected structures. The circulation, usually sluggish, is pro- 5oundly disturbed, the nervous system Is profoundly impressed, and various un- desirable symptoms indicate an .mmi" nent illness.
 Immediately upon rising move leisure ly about the room for a few minutes, day by day increasing the exposure of the body, until soon you can take m air bath of five or ten minutes duration without discomfort. This exposure should always be followed by brisk rub ping before dressing. Next use a sponge slightly moistened; then one which is not so dry.
 Soon the cold bath may be taken with impunity, and may become more pro longed and more beneficial as the skin becomes accustomed to it. These baths must be followed in all cases, by brisk and prolonged rubbing of the skin.
 As the weather becomes colder the morning temperature of the room and the bath should become gradually lower until when you are habituated to them vou may yenfure to onpn inc window "A little on warmer mornings and expose the nude body to slight draft. During the night the mucous membrane should be hardened by leaving the chamber windows open, guarding only against drafts.
 Remember that the draft through a two inch aperture is often more danger ous thar1.he wind through an entirely open window, and that the hearty dinner is as active in causing a cold as the No vember blasts.

Lnther,s Wife.

Believing that "a good wife is of the Lord, Martin Luther chose good wom- an-Catherine de Bora-a lady of noble birth, nun, and, if we may credit Hol- bein's portrait, a very pretty woman. Better still, she was faithful and af- fectionate wife, though her temper was not the sweetest and her tongue at times could scold. Luther loved her dearly. With him indeed reverence for woman was at once 0 natural instinct and a point of doctrine He observed that when the first woman was brought to the first man to receive her name he called her not wife, but mother "Eve, the mother of all hving''-a word, he says, "more eloquent than ever fell from the lips of Demosthenes " So when Catherine frowned he smiled, when she scolded he bantered. With the gen. tlest soothing he chided her anxieties, and with the most self denying devotion he sought to make her life happy. And happier home, it is said, than the home of Luther was not in that land of domestic tenderness. In one of his let ters to his wife he says: 1.-The greatest favor of God is to have a good and pious husband, to whom you can intrust your all-your person and even your life whose children and yours are the same. Catherine, you have pious husband, who loves you You are an empress. Thank God for it. !" And more playfully he says another time: ''f were going to make love again, I would carve an obedient woman out of marble in de- spair of finding one in any other way. " He addresses her sometimes as My Love Gathering Catherine the Queen," the Empress, the Doe tress," or as Catherine, the rich and noble lady of Zeilsdorf, where they had a cottage and a few roods of ground -Quiver.

Kelly Builds a Fleet.

DEs MONIES, May 7.-The eighth day of Kelly's stay in Des Moines saw prepara- tions for their final leavetaking under good way. Lumber had been delivered at a point below the confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers, and 800 men, mostly mechanics of more or less experi- ence picked out of the army, left the camp under the leadership of General Kelly, marched three abreast to the place where the lumber had been delivered and began the work of building fiatboats.
 DEs MONIES, May 9.-Kelly's men have continued building barges and claim to have 125 completed. The crowds in the camp have been large, and there has been much speaking by Colonel Speed and oth- CTS. The barges are all being fitted up with oars and adorned with flags and bans ners of all kinds and sizes. The only nota- ble event has been the quarrels between General Kelly and the local Populists, headed by General Weaver. General Kel- ly, in an interview in a local paper, says they have queered him with the real la boring men.

Largest I.,phtbouso In the World.

The distinction of owning the most powerful fiashlight and the largest lighthouse in the world belongs to France. This monster light has been set up at Cap de la Heve, near Havre, i'll the center of the most dangerous section of the Frentii coast. For the past year the French lighthouse board has been making some curious experiments at the Cap de la Heve tower. First they used oil lamps, with fixed lenticular appa- ratus, which yielded 19, 900 candle pow CT and could be seen 491a miles The next trial was that of the fixed lentiou- lar in connection with powerful electric arc lamps, the light in this case being equal to 24, 900 candle power and ca pablo of being seen 57 miles. The next trial was that of electric arc and flash ing machinery yielding 24, 900, 900 can dle power, which could be seen no less than 130 miles on clear night.
 The light now in use at this Titan of the lighthouses has power equal to 40,
 900, 900 candles, and its reflection oan be seen 348 miles. --St Louis Republic.

Wales Rejected For Insurance.

The Prince of Wales was very heavi- ly insured at one time, his motive in securing the insurance being, it was stated, to protect the money lender Far quhar, with whom he was implicated tefore the Duke of Fife cleared up the prince's obligations by marrying into the royal family. Just how much insur- ance the prince carried at that time is not known, but it is certain that he got as much as the British companies would give him and then applied to one of the companies in this city. Being person of high estate, he refused, however, to permit the company's medical examin- CT to inspect his royal person, proffering instead certificate from his personal physician, which certificate the compa- ny refused to accept, and so the insu'- ance was never effected d-Exchange

BRECKENRIDGE AT HOME.
Received Hack Into One Church and De-
 nounced In Another.

LEXINGTON, Ky, May G-rhe town is wild with excitemen; at midnight over the sensati onal scenes witnessed In the Meth. odist Church, South. After the noted boy preacher, II. (. Morrison, had finished his sermon the pastor, Rev. K. l.. Southgate, began to talk about the attack made on the ministers by Colonel Breckinridge at the opera house. He said that he was will ing to lay down his life, if need be, in de- fense of tRe virtue of the women of the congregation. With this he broke down, and then Morrison arose aud said the city of Lexington was a "Sodom and Gomor- rah" becangc so many of her people wanted to honor this man (meaning Breckinridgel even by returning him to congress.
 Southgate then added that he was sorry his original remarks Sefore the Young Mems Christian association had not been printed in every paper in the land. "I re- peat those remarks" he said "I again say shat no decent Christian can afford to vote for this man" His remarks were greeted with applause.
 At meeting of the session of Mount Horeb church, of which Colonel Breckin- ridge is a member and over which his father once presided, he was summoned to appear. Colonel Breckinridge confessed his guilt in about the same way he testi- fed in the case just decided and prayed forgiveness, saying that he had repented and would lead a new life in the future. After consultation he was forgiven and taken into the church again.

A WOUNDED AMAZON.

Standing apart in dumb, deep agony, With none of all her warning sisters near, With none to help her or console her here, She pays the price of those who would be free. Hast thou, who in thy proud virginity, A maid to cope with heroes didst not fear, Found that such glory might be bought too
 dear
 When one, who should have shielded, wounded
 thee?
 Yet, gazing on thee where thou standest now, He whom no amazonian arms could quen Before thine unarmed womanhood would bow. Until your lifted eyes should re-engage The strife of which our latest stories tell That he and thou forevermore must wage.

Thereupon the entire staff, including Gen eral Randall, was arrested and is now in jail awaiting trial.

The Cost of Firing the Thirteen Inch Gun.


 The cost of each pound of projectile \ is 8 cents, which makes each one fired represent SPOT. The powder costs 33 cents a pound, or $l81. 50 for the charge Bags in which it is incased, fuses, etc, bring the cost of each shot up to $400. The expense of each shot makes it ex- ceedingly desirable that each one hits the target it is sent at.
 There are other remarkable features about this leviathan besides the projec- tile. Powder such as no one ever dreamed of 10 years ago is used. It is technically known as brown prismatic and takes the latter term from the pecu- liar shape of the grain. Each grain is probably 21a inches high and 3 in width and is prismatic in form, with small hole through the center. Eleven of these grains make one pound Each grain would make several rounds for an ordi- nary fowling piece. The extent of the charge necessitates it's being placed in four parts, each part also prismatic. These parts are forced in the gun, and when in place hug one another closely. Thin muslin bags hold the powder in place. Sun.
