Colds are probably the most common
ailment IN the world. They are always
disagreeable and oftentimes dangerous.
A person in good health. with fair play,
easily ressts cold, but when the health
flags a little and liberties are taken
with the stomach or with the nervous
system a chill is easily taken, and. ac-
cording to the weak spot of the indi-
vidual, assumes the form of cold or
pneumonia, or 1t may be jaundice. OF
all causes of cold, probably fatigue
is one of the most efficient A jaded

children overfed and with short allow

the victims of "cold.' Luxury is favor
able to chili-taking; very hot rooms,
feather beds. soft chairs, create sensi-
tiveness that leads to catarrhs. 1t Is
not, after all. the cold that is so much
to be feared as the antecedent condi-
tons that give the attack a chance OF
doing harm. Some of the worst colds
happen 10 those who do not leave the
house or even their beds, and those who
are mos. inyulnerable are often those
who are most exposed to changes of
temperature, and who by good sleep.
cold bathing and regular habits preserve
the tone of their nervous system and
circulation. Probably many chiils are
contracted at night or at the flag end
of the day. when tired people get the
equilibrium of their circulation disturb

specially the case with elderly people
In such cases the mischief is not al

improbable. II is therefore Impossible
TO forecast the future from the past.
Certain 1t is that literature is at pres

ton which may lead to vigorous
awakening or to a still deeper slumber.
Equally certain Is It that neither Kip
ling, Lang. Hardy, Meredith, Howclls.
James, nor even Hamlin Garland and
the little boy from Central New York
State shall arouse her from this leth-
argy. These writers ably express their
own day and generation, but there is

The cable reports that American BIZ

been entered at Liverpool as the result
OF forced sales In the United States.
They have been sold at prices that have

After calling attention to the fact that
man was content with the use OF oil
TO keep machinery in running order I'M
Ill he began to ride the bicycle. when
he demanded some better labor-saver
and Invented ball-bcarings. the Scien-
tlhc American proceeds to Illustrate
aIfi describe some recent applications
OF such bearings. They are employed
FOR wagon and carriage wheels. for the
carer wheels of cable roads. aud for
the shafts OF swlft-runnlng machinery.
They practically dispense with the use
Of the oil can. and greatly reduce the
amount OF friction to be overcome. thus
adding to the effective power OF all
machines In which they ARE used. The
singular fact Is net''d that Prof. Boys.
Of London. showed experlmentally that
hall-hcarings. when properly construct
ed. are practically proof against wear.
lie demonstrated this fact by weighing
the balls of hicyclc-bearing when they
were new. aud again after they had
been subjected TO long service. They
showed no loss OF weight.
