TREATMENT OF. COLDS,
How They May BE Cured and Their
After Consequences Averted.

~ any, WAY LIZ T duu AClE
After Consequences Averted.
Colds are probably the most common
allment in he world. They are always
disagreeable and oftentimes dangerous.
A person in good health, with fair play.
easily resists 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 a cold or
pneumonia, or 1t may be jaundice. OF
all causes Of ''cold,' probably fatigue
is n Of the most efficient. a jaded
man, coming home at night from a long
days work, a growing youth losing
two hours sleep over evening parties
two or three times a week, or a young
lady heavily doing the season." young
children overfed and with short allow
ance of sleep. are common instances Of
the victims of "cold.' Luxury is favor
able to chill-taking; very hot rooms,
feather beds, soft chairs, create a 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 most invulnerable are often those
who are most exposed to changes Of
temperature, and who by good sleep,
cold bathinga and regular habits preserve
the tone of their nervous system and
circulation. Probably many chills are
contracted at night or at the fag end
of the day, when tired people get the
equilibrium Of their circulation disturb
ed by either overheated sitting or un-
derheated bed rooms and beds. This is
specially the case with elderly people.
In such cases the mischief is not al
ways done instantaneously or in a sin
gle night. 1t often takes place insid-
iously, extending over days or even
weeks.-London Lancet.

Military Pride.

Looked at from a soldierly point Of
view. the following little anecdote OF
the battle of Alma is worth quoting
from Sir John Adye's 'Recollections OF
a Military Life" "The battle ended
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, thu
headquarters camp being pitched near
the river; and Lord Raglan Their wen.
in search Of his orderly officer. Lieut..
Torn Leslie. and. with the help of somd
Guardsmen, with a stretcher, brought
him to his tent. Lord Raglan asked
me- writes Sir John, IF l knew Toms
mother; and on my replying in ths
negative, he said, A charming woma
l must write to her. How proud sht
viii! be to heal that he has a bullet If
his shoulder"

been general. 1t haa fallen heavily in
the city and washed and fra,anuo1 the

gay in comparison with its usual ,uuolor,

of the public house, and Mr.. r.rbes,

liams' house was all glitter and right
ness on the ground floor. 1t had two
large plate glass windows, divided onlv
by Il green and gilt iron pillar. Mr..
Forbes was not so lavish Of glass nr ras-
light as his nelghbor. His only window
on the shop floor was composed Of panes
of moderate size. Beyond the ,hop door

The Merchants Bluff Indicated His
True STANDING: to His Creditors.

It's true as the book" SAYS a Maine
lawyer, that more crimes are discov-
cred through the efforts made to pre-
vent discovery than in any other way.
The mind of the wrOngdocr is not sat
listed with simply keeping still. 1t is
uneasy and oyercautiOuS. ana leads its
owner pretty surely To do some act he
would not have done if innocent. In
just The same way Shrewd business
men read the minds of their debtors.
Let II apparently prosperous man be-
come seriously involved, and very
often he will try 10 screen his real stu
alton by doing things that imply a
solvent condition, all for the purpose
Of dcceiying his creditors.
A quarter of a century ago l was
practicing in a western Maine village,
and among my intimate friends was a
young merchant who had apparently
been doing a very successful business
for several years. His credit was as
good as almost anybody's in the town.
To my great surprise one evening there
came to me the principals of two large
Portland firms, to whom my friend was
indebted. and they requested an imme-
diate attachment of his stock of goods.
l protested that such a course was I'M
JUST and Unnecessary. Then one Of
the merchants explained that a day
or two previous he had received a let
ter from their debtor in which he ca
sually mentioned some proposed action
Of his which would involve a consider
able outlay of money. He didn't be-
lieve the man really intended any such
outlay, and he asked himself, why has
he mentioned this: Comforting with
his neighbor. he found the young man
had at the same time written him an
exactly similar letter. That was
enough. and they decided to sue. Feel
Ing almost sure they were wrong. l
had the attachment made so secretly
hat none knew of it except those i'm
mediately concerned. The young mer-
chant was immensely surprised. and
| at once got friends to become his Sc
curity on the Portland debts. But the
developments of the ncyt few months
showed ~conclusively that the merchants
had rightly read the meaning of the
unusual letter and that their debtors
affairs We're at that time rotten to the
core. only their prompt action saved
their claims which together amounted
to something more than a thousand dok
lars."-Lewiston journal.

V.

When Oscar Leigh emerged from the
door Of the public house he moved rap
idly along the front of Forbes bakery
until he reached the private entrance TO
that house. Then he opened the dopr
with a latch key ana entered. He as
cended the stairs, found himself oppo-
site the door Of his fiat, opened that door
with another latch key. and went in.
The little man slammed the door behind
him. came to the sitting room, passed
through it, then through the sleeping
chamber beyond and thence into the
workshop or clock room. The latter door
he unlocked with a small patent key. He
pushed the door open very cautiously.
Some small object placed on the inside
against the door, fell with a slight noise,
1t was caused by the overturning of a
small metal egg-cup on the floor. 1t had
been SO placed that the door could not
be pushed open from the passage without
upsetting it.
Here is conclusive proof that my sane
tuary has been inyiolate while l have
been from home" he muttered. "Poor
Williams. A useful man in his way;
very. A worthy soul l have succeeded
in my first great experiment. | wonder
how it goes with my dumb dep.ty of
last night? Ha-ha-ha"
He turned away from the door and
confronted a thicket Of shafts and rods
and struts and Orders and pipes and
| pul!eys and Wheels and drums and chains
and levers and cranks and weights aud
springs and cones and cubes and hammers
and cords and bands and bells and bel

The formation of good habits early in
life becomes the imperative duty Of
every person. The business man real
ICES its priceless value in business hab-

Returns by TELEPHONE.
Clubs, Hotels. and Private ses,dences Sup
piled with Election News.

An interesting experiment in long-distance
telephoning was tried on election night. Owing
TO the unusual eagerness to get the returns
early. telep phone bulletins were posted in the
hotels and clubs in the uptown district, and
special lines were used in transmitting mes
saGes from the far Western and Southern
States. To prevent confusion and delay in the
distribution of the returns speCia! services were
established over the local lines. The hotels,
clubs, and campaign headquarters were in ono
group. About four hundred residences where
complete returns were desired formed another
group. A third service was for the purpose OF
answering individual inquiries.
Fifty long distance receiving desks were tenn
porarily placed in the halls Of the nth floor Of
One of these was directly connected with Major
Mckinlcy's home in Canton, and during The
evening hundreds Of congratulatory messages
were sent to him. AS soon as the results we're
received over the lOng-distance wires they were
compared with the last Presidential returns and
edited. They were then mRnitOllcd By ty pc
writers and the copies sent around to the trans
mitters. who telephoned them to the various
stations. About three minutes elapsed between
tho time a message WAS received at Cortlandt
street and the time IL reached one OF these
stations. Three hundred and fifty operators,
exclusive OF the regular night force, were en-
gagged in the work of receiving, typewriting. and
transmitting returns.
At each of the stations In the hotels and clubs
n bulletin board was placed where the returns
were made public. The messages were received
at intervals OFFS minute to Il minute and u half,
and 800 bulletins in all were Issued. The I'M
dertaking proved a great success.

The Brndleyites have smitten the CAMPBELL
ties in the Ninth Congress district, and Timothy

Thomas J. Bradley goes to Washington. Tn at
is, young Mr.. Bradley believes he viii represent
the district. SO do n large percentage Of tho
voters Of the district, as the returns show a sub
stantial Bradley majority there. The Hon. Tim,
however, was not at all sure yerterday that
such would be the case. 1t wouldn't be. he said.
IL the eternal principles Of right and justice
were still potent In the lands
The Campbellites, or some of them, acknowl-
edge that thew are beaten, but they make no
bones Of asserting that they were not fairly
beaten. They say that in certain of the cleo
ton districts along the Bowery and In Bayard
street the Tammany captains of the polling
places went into the booths with many n voter,
marked his ballot for him.. ami then walked out
with him I'D saw the ballot deposited with the
ballot clerk. They say that they know tho
names of the captains who are alleged to have
thus HaGrantly violated the law. and that they
have them punished. After each one of the CAP
tains has been lodged in prison they are going TO
make application 10 have the entire vote of the
several election districts in which they allego
the frauds took place thrown out.
That was all that the Campbellites were
thinking Of doing yesterday until about noon,
when a report wac brought to the Hon. Tins
headquarters. at the Oriental Club. near the
corner of Pitt and Attorney streets. that three
Of the official ballots which had heen voted in
the Fortieth election district of the Fourth
Assembly district had been found a few hours
before in front of the polling place, at $3.50
Henry street, by some children. When Mr..
Campbell heard OF this he posted OF TO tho
Delaney street police station TO inform Capt.
Titus. Tho Captain found the report to be true.
and had tho ballots brought to the station
house. They were the regular ballots. with tho
stu bs torn on. Each one showed. by the cross
In the circle at the top of lhe Republican
column, that they had beeA voted as straight

that the stubs had been torn of. II was con-
cluded that the ballots had been voted. counted
and placed on spindles by the Election Inspec-
tors; That being so. the result in the district
would not be affected. The ballots should not
have been In the street, however. and Mr..
Campbell wanted to know why they were there.

bell argues that. II the Election Inspectors were
careless enough TO drop three ballots in the

careless enough to drop other ballots where they

The returns show that Campbell polled s.Io1

Bradley a plurality of 2.sO2.
