HOW Not to Take Cold

little bit of really valuable advice
for this season of the year Keep your
mouth shut. If people would only do
this they would avoid colds ard coughs,
and ofttimes serious illness. The pre-
scrption is very simple one, and not
even the merit of originality can he
claim for it; but it undoubtedly is eff
cacious Mr.. Catlin. the celebrated
traveller among the North American In
dlans, discovered that they were free
from many Of the diseases which afflict
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
1t not stand to reason that it is better
to breathe through the nostrils the chill
~ air when leaving heated room for
the street. or even when going into 4
cold passage, then letting it so straight
to the lungs in an ordinary way? Mr..
Catlln declares that Shut your mouth"
is the most important motto which the
human language can CONGREGATIONAL

A Man-o'-W Fighting Rooster.

Who would think that rooster could
become great pet on board ship: But
ON the flagship Chicago the man-ofwar
which last spring travelled almost six
thousand miles to get home for the Col
Umbian naval parade, there was a roos-
ter that was the pet Of all the men on
board ship. He was bought in the West
Indies, on the way to Montevilco, and
was intanded for the Christmas dinner:
but his great cheerfulness, as shown by
his hearty Growing in the most unsea-
sonable weather, won him his life.
After his liberty had been given to
him, and he had become fairly tame,
he noticed one day another very proud
rooster in a polished ventilator which
stands on the quarterback. He imme-
diately put on his proudest air; then,
noticing that the other rooster did the
same, he stepped closer to inquire, and
soon found himself gla-ing pusnacious-
ly at that other fellow. who seemed
quite as defiant as himself From looks
it came to blows, and soon our rooster
was Indignantly fighting his own re
tlcction Occasionally he would strike
the ventilator very hard blow with his
bill and be thrown back much astonish-
ed. only to return to the attack when he
noticed that his enemy apparently re-
treated.
This was kept up at intervals for sew
eral weeks, says Il writer in st. Nicho-
las. until the rooster learned that moro
hard knocks than glory were to be got
by keeping up the feud, Even now,
after many months on board he occa-
sionally rencWs the attack. but in a
half-hearted way, as II he knew he was
doing something silly.

is food ahead he answers to it like a

BROWNSVILLE.

Brcwnovilie, the county sec OF
Cameron county, is oituated in the
southern part Of the county OF the
Rio Grande. about thirty miles above
its mouth, and directly opposite the
Mexican city of Matamoros. 1t has
large trade with small towns alon
the river for over 300 miles, the ex
eat of steamboat navigation. 1t has
commercial relations with the gull
ports by the port of BRACES de San
,iago, with which it is connected by
the Rio Grande railroad. It also has
communication with the interior by
stage to Alice, connecting with the
7 Sxas Mexican aud the Arkansas Pass
r lwsy. Another frequent mode offs
transportation to an from Browns
Vile via the Matamoros and Mon
terey railroad to Rio Grande City,
and thence by stage to Pena Station.
Brownsville is laid off squsrely with
streets Of good width, and is built up
with solid brick buildings, and has q
fine city market. where all vegets-
bIes, meats, fresh fish, game, etc., are
on seal at remarkably low prices
the city fire department is well
equipped and most effective. There
are three churches. Catholic. Episco-
pal and Presbyterian. The educa-
tional advantages of Brownsville are
unsurpassed by any town, and une-
qualled by few OF its size. The pub
lie schoo! building. valued at $50, 600.
is one of the haudsomest and best
equipped in the State, and stands as
q monument to the progress of the
city. 1t employs fourteen teachers,

dences.
The population numbers about

of military discipline, that is, as against

powerless to put the tramps Off, and
when the company has succeeded I'm
doing so. It has met with loss caused by
the malicious acts of the evicted men.
The wreck near Lordsburg. New Mexico.
and that which occurred near the line Of
San Mateo county recently are believed to
be the spite work Of tramps.
Not content with transportation once
accorded, the tramps travel up and down
the railroad. A gang which left the

began to beat their way back to Cali
