When People Catch cold.

The "cold spots" meaning thereby
the surface areas peculiarly suscepti.
BILE to cold, are principally the nape
of the neck and the lower part OF tho
back of the head, the front OF the sb-
domen, and the shins. The acute dis.
comfort and the sense of impending
disaster which results from the steady
play OF current OF cold air upon the
the neck from Behind are well
known. The necessity OF keep
ing the abdomen warmly clad is
also generally carried into practice.
Curiously enough, few persons are
conscious Of the danger they run by
exposing the usually inadequately pro.
tected shins to currents OF cold air.
This is the usual way in which colds
are caught on omnibusscs When

For Reaching the Pole.

An entirely new scheme looking to
aerial navigation and fight has been
suggested by A. N. Nitsch OF Boston,
says the Chicngo Tribune. 1t is such
a decided departure from all the
propositions advanced heretofore for
utilizing the atmosphere for purposes
OF transit as to command serious at
tention from scientists and others to
whom it has been presented.
1t is the idea of Mr.. Nitsch that the
subtle magnetic attraction that holds
tho needle of the mariners compass
with unswerving fidelity to the north
can be used in magnifed form for
mans convenience, profit and pleas.
ure.
Accepting the theory advanced that
vast deposits OF magnetic ore exist in
the immediate vicinity OF the north
pole, and from there come the mag
netic currents distributed over the
globe, and that it is tho attraction of
this thus far unbounded field that
draws with magic power the needle of
the compass, there is nothing, rs Mr..
Nitsch looks at il, to prevent its being
made Of real service.
~ believe" said he, 'that magnets
could be suspended in the mir OF suffi-
cient force to counteract the resistance
to air, overcome the adverse currents
and move more or less rapidly toward
the north" Mr.. Nitsch says that it
might not prove possible, but it was
open to argument and experiment, and
there was no telling what might come
OF it. AS to the methods OF return,
should such flight as pictured ever
be taken, that was spoken OF as a
problem that would be solved quickly.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Good housekeepers scald their bread
jars at least twice O week. 1t keeps
the mold away.
To improve the, flavor of coffee,
sprinkle with few grains of salt be-
fore adding the water.
Tar may be removed from any kind
OF cloth if you saturate the spot with
turpentine and rub it we'll.
Cold boiled water tastes fiat, be-
cause it has been deprived OF air. To
restore air, pour the water quickly
from one jug to another.
Camphor gum should be placed in
the drawer where are kept dress
waists that are trimmed with steel; it
prevents the steel from furnishing.
Rounds of felt placed between the
different pieces OF dinner set keep
them from becoming scratched moro
effectively than do pieces OF tissue

White paint may be quickly cleaned
by washing it with water softened with
spirits of ammonia. Be careful not
to use too much ammonia, or the paint
will be injured.
1t is said that If parsley is eaten
with onions or a salad containing
onions the odor of the onion will not
affect the breath. The spri9s of pars-

Iron-rust stains on marble can be

Deaf Mntes Danctnn.

Zone of the most interesting fea.
lures ofthe education of deaf mutes
their dancing" said p. G.. Gillette
OF Chicago, one OF the leading deaf
mute instructors OF tho country, at
the Arlington. ''It was discovered by
accident that deaf mutes enjoyed
music, and now dancing is common
pastime with them, they keeping time
better as rule than those who are in
possession of all their faculties. One
who is not deaf mute is inexpress-
IDLY lonely at one OF their parties. He
can understand nothing, while they
converse with their hands and have a
good time. Whom tho music strikes
up they dance. 1t would be supposed
that 1t was essential to hear the rhythm
in order to dance, but such is not the
case. They feel it, which is just as
effectual. Whom they employ an
orchestra, they stipulate for the larg-
est bass drum and viol, for the reason
that the louder the music the greater
the vibrations. Almost all deaf mutes
are passionately fond of dancing, and
there are, few poor dancers among
them. - Washington Star.

ordinary undertaking. bnt experience
shows that it can be done, and New

Useful Baboon.

Certain wild animals can be trained
