Cure For Q Cold.

A New York newspaper has secured the service of prominent physician to pre- scribe daily for the suffering public. Here's his .'sure cure" for cold in the head: "Tho cold is the result of an extra pressure of blood in the head, which ob- structs the general circulation. The nos trils are distended, tho mucous membrane is swollen, and the back part of tho throat becomes 'ouppy' and dry. Nothing is better than hot footbath and hot drink, followed by dover's powder. All of this is to stimulate precipitation. Then one grain of quinino, with one-quarter of a grain of rcd pepper, should be taken every two hours for s4 hours By that time your cold will have disappeared. As the above prescription is written by one of the best known nose, throat and ear specialists of tho country, it should be about as good as the other sort which sometimes comes high.

To Cure Grin.

When grip threatens feet and throat arc the vulnerable points that need most careful protection, with high buttoned arctics and broad silk muffler. A nour- ishing and strengthening potion to be taken by those who are convalescing from the grip and find no tonic quite to their taste is drink of cream and milk. Un- der certain conditions and for weak digos- tions cream is ordinarily too heavy when thick and pure, but to bring l 1 pints of milk almost to the boiling point, then TO- move it from the fire and hastily stir in 0 fourth of pint of rich, sweet cream, forms drink not only very palatable, but easily digestible and almost as efiicacious as cod liver oil It should be taken with little bread and at least three times a day to prove its benefit to a system that is slowly undergoing the process of readjust- ment.-Exohange

Buffalo Robes Expensive.

:, One of the results that have naturally followed the practical extermination of the buffalo from the plains is trcmen- dous advance in tho price of buffalo robes, which arc so popular with all drivers who have to faoo the chilling blasts of winter A few years ago these robes could be bought for from $5 to $10 apiece, accord ing to quality, but they have now become so scarce that they bring anywhere from $50 to $100 Even old ones bring good prices from the farmers who appreciate the warmth of the thick hide. Doubtless in the years to come the prices will con- tinue to advance, and finally tho robes will disappear altogether and be no longer obtainable at any ice.-Philadelphia Record

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.

CHARLOTTE, N. C.. March 20.-At Blacksburg, s. G., this morning about 2 o'clock, while Night Operator w A. Stew art of the Southern railroad telegraph office was lying down on his desk asleep, his throat was cut by robbers. They secured only $10 from the ticket cash drawer, how ever. The operator was unconscious for half an hour, when he dragged himself to the hotel and notified the authorities. His wounds were several blows on the head besides the cut, and are necessarily fatal: There is DO clue to the guilty parties, and the operator cannot describe them. He only knows there were two.

Three years ago this particular man of figures, and of great resources for accurate deductions, deter mined to make a scientific investigation of the Friday superstition.

 But the only redeeming features of the famous comedian, Tim Cronin the dancing of Kittie Palmer and Arnold Kiralfy and the aerial act of Melville.

The Dog and the Kittens.

The following interesting story of a
 dog and some kittens is told by wri-
 ter in Chatterbox:
 Some years ago we had a large dog
 named Lion. and we had at the same
 time, two young kittens whose mother
 had been killed when they were about
 fortnight old, and who, in conse-
 quence of this accident, we were rear ing by means of a bottle, some warm
 milk and a soft India rubber tube. Now these kittens slept in the kitchen
 With Lion, and to protect them from him for he was not particularly fond of cats) they were placed in front of the fire in large flower pot half-full of hay and covered over with a kitchen toweL It happened, however, that this cloth had small hole in it, through which the dog peeped one night to find out what was underneath; when he saw the two helpless kittens his rough heart was touched with pity, and instead of biting or in any way hurting them, he lifted them out (though how he man. aged to do so without injuring them I am sure can't say) and placed them beside him on his rug, and spent his wakeful moments before the morning in licking them. This attention was doubtlessly well meant; but when the entered the room they found the kittens nearly half-drowned and in a miserable condition.
 From that time master Lion consid- cred that the kittens were his own par ticular property, and he would seldom allow one of them to come within his reach without giving it a lick that knocked it off it's legs; he would also follow them about the house and suffer them to play with his tail in that im- pertinent manner that is peculiar to and as he was too large and to be allowed much liberty, he must have felt greatly enlivened by their company, and could never have regretted the action that first intro- iuced them to his notice; but the kit tens regretted that action, for it must have frightened them greatly, and the person who had to mend the kitchen towels must have regretted 1t also, I .hinB"

tors and stockholders, declaring that
 the proceeds of 5000 bonds, amounting
 to $S, GOO, 000 should be applied for the
 purpose of double tracking, equipping
 and increasing the transportation facil-
 ities of and improving the company's
 railroad and in purchasing such real
 estate and other property as, in the
 judgment of the directors, or of the president and executive committee, the interests of the company may require; second, the form of the trustees cer- tifcate that the bond bearing it i9Assued in conformity with the provisions of the mortgage; third, that 5000 of the bonds were to be at once certified by the Central Trust company, and delivered to the president and vice president of the railroad company to be used and disposed of by them in accordance with the stipulatlons contained in the mort gage. But, in point of fact, the proceeds of these bonds were not applied for the improvement of the property, nor for any other purpose calculated to give value to the property as prom ised to the bondholders.
 A demurrer was entered by the de- fendants, but decision has been rem dered compelling the defendants to come into court to answer the allega- tions against them. This is encourag- ing, as far as it goes, and if those who | haven't kept the promises made by them have to pay for their bad faith 1t will | be still more encouraging.

AN IMpoRT1NT DEoTSroN.

A wise old railroad president who has gone to his reward once remarked concerning an obligation that his com pany had assumed, "Few contracts can be made that cannot be broken" Those who have watched railroad affairs dur ing the last ten years will be inclined to think that he spoke truly, And many who have held the stocks and bonds of railroads have also reason to think so. But a decision which has just been made indicates that under certain circumstances a railroad com pany's promise may be binding.
 The case was one brought by the Central Trust company of New York. This company appeared in court as trustee for the per cent. consolidated mortgage bonds of the Columbus, ,Hock- ing Valley & Toledo Railroad company, and demanded from Stevenson Burke and others, former directors of the rail- road restitution of eight millions of the proceeds of these bonds which they had wrongfully diverted from the purpose for which they had been issued.
