some SeasonabIe Hints.

These are the days when every body
needs to be on guard against taking
cold" There is a too prevalent notion
that colds" are chiefly Objectionable be-
cause inconvenient; that coughing and
sneezng are their worst consequences.
Consult any skillful physician and
he will tell you that they are very
often precursors OF fatal disease.
Not only consumption. but pneumonia,
pleurisy, asthma, bronchitis and a whole
group Of fever have their beginnings in
those "bad colds" that are 30 easily taxi
en- and often so lightly regarded.
A few simple directions. if carefully
followed, will ward off the danger in
great majority of cases. First and fore
most, keep the feet dry. Also keep them
warm. Do not go into the street on q
raw" day without an overcoat or cloak
put on and buttoned up, or even when
the sun Is shining brightly and the air is
balmy, without carrying an overcoat or
cloak on the arm. Neglect of this latter
precaution has filled many an untimely
grave. Per contra, do not sit in church
or office or any warm room after coming
out OF the chilly street until all heavy
wraps have been removed. Be careful
not to overhead business or dwelling
houses at this season, when artificial
warmth is necessary, but there is difficult
ty in preventing it's becoming excessive.
Remember that colds result frequently
from sudden changes of temperature.
Pure air is of vital importance; hence
look we'll to ventilation. Probably half
the pulmonary troubles that affllct hu.
manity have their start at night, during
the hours OF slumber. when the physical
system is feeblest and 80 most likely to
succumb. Therefore give special atten-
ton to beds, bedding and bedrooms.
Damp sheets are deadly. Regular bath.
ing is n great preventative, by keeping
open the pores of the skin and allowing
waste matter to escape as nature intends :.
Temperance In eating and drinking have
more to DO with avoiding colds than most
people are aware Of. Daily exercise in
the open air is absolutely essential for
persons already not invalids.
The foregoing is not formidable list
OF injunctions and prohibitions. 1t is
not too long to paste in ones hat or post
on ones dressing case door: nor yet to
inscribe on the tablets of ones memory,
which is the best way. A little patient
practice will make their observance a
| matter of unconscious habit.

MIR. Chas. Thebo, who has been paying
his sister, Miss Maggie Thebo of this
city visit of several days duration, has
been the centre of much interest by many

arrival here presented his sister with a
handsome pin, set with five small
nuggets, the cost of making the article
alone costing $25, and was made and set
by Dawson City jeweler. Miss Thebo
ia very proud OF the little article OF adorn.

In reply to an inquiry Mr. Thebo stat
ed that the people of Dawson City and
vicinity were not aware of the great ex-
citement that is being created throughout
the world over the large finds of gold,
and that the wealth OF the fields is not
at all overestimated. He said that more
poor men had become rich there in a
shorter time than was ever known in the
palmest days OF California. Mr.. Thebo
left Dawson City on August 2sth, going
by chartered launch up the Yukon
about 275 miles and then proceeding over
the Chilcat trail. The dangers and thrill
ling stories that have been told of the
passes and trails are not in the least over
drawn, and every day sees many OF those
endeavorlng to get over. becoming dis
couraged and turning back. He also
substantiates the statement of others that
outfits can be purchased from these dis
couraged ones at Dyea and Skaguay for
what they originally cost at Seattle.
At the time Mr.. Thebo left Dawson
both stores had closed their doors on &C.
count of the scarcity Of provisions, and
they have no means of replenishing their
stock until the opening of navigation
next spring. This means that many will
have to 20 on short rations this winter
and sickness and disease will OF conee-
quence be prevalent. He also says that
it will be impossible for those now in the
passes and even those ut the lakes to
reach Dawson this winter, and advises
those contemplating going to wait until
spring by all means.
Mr.. Thebo left Sunday evening for
Montana, and after a short stay there
will visit Chicago and other eastern cities
returning early in the spring to prepare
for an early return to Dawson. He ID

Deranged In Mind, Farrell stripped and Tried
TO wreck u Signal system.
John J. Farrell of South Orange, who has been
mentally deranRed for some months, escaped
from his home on Tuesday night, and when next
seen he was at the top Of a signal pole in the
Pennsylvania Railroad cut west of Jersey City
smashing the signal lamps with his clenched fist.
He had already destroyed a dozen or more lamps
when discovered by the engineer of a fast freight
train due in Jersey City at 5 A. NJ. Farrell had
no clothing on but his undershirt and drawers.
The engineer, fireman, and Conductor Rich
ordered Farrell to como down, and when he re-
fused they pulled him down. They brought him
down to the freight yard In Jersey City. He was
turned over to the police and arraigned before
Police Justice Douglas who committed him for
examination as to mis- sanity.
Farrell imagined that he was called upon to
become n missionary. and he told his friends
who called to see him yesterday at Jersey City
that he would set out at once and preach. Since
the opening of the South Orange and Maple
wood Street Railway system three years ago he
has been employed as a conductor on the line.
He was n plumber, but was unable to work at
that trade because his health was not very good.
Tuesday night he wore his conductors uniform.
His coat, with the sleeves out off by a train. was
found yesterday on the railroad track in Harri-
son.
He went to Hoboken Tuesday night, where
friends saw him and noticed that he was talk
ing incohercntly. He readily consented TO go
home when asked. II Is supposed he jumped
Hoboken tunnel, and then ran across the
meadows to tho Pennsylvania tracks. He Is I'M
married and lived with his parents. He will be
placed in a sanitarium to-day.

AsBURY PARK. n. j.. April 2l.-In strong con-
trast with Ocean Groves beach, with its acres Of
white sand. is the ocean front at Asbury Park.
particularly that portion between Asbury and
Third avenues. There the winds and tides have
carried away sand until now the famous board
walk is in danger Of being damaged at every
high tide. Founder Bradley has always until
now opposed the construction Of ~jetties. Now,
however, workmen have been ordered to build
two %jcttics. The first OF these will be the long.
est on the New Jersey coast. 1t will extend
from the north side OF Asbury pavilion seward
nearly two hundred feet. The other will be
built out from the south side OF the fishing pier.
Mr.. Bradley expects that these jetties will col
lect sand that will be washed up on the beach
and thus restore the original shore. He spent
several thousand dollars on the beach last win
ter. In one or two places the sand has been
washed down TO hard pan, exposing the roots Of
old trees and portions Of wrecks. that came
ashore dozens OF years ago. A few months
ago there was danger that the Fifth avenue
pavilion would be carried away. The sand
around the pilings WIS washed out. Now, how
ever, the sand has been washed back again I'M
til at low tide n person can walk seaward from
the pavilion fifty yards.

VIEW BEASTS IN CENTRAL PARK.
Arrival or the Elephant and Two Lions which
Were sMnpped for Fntima.

VET S"hppte otiuS
There was a large crowd of visitors at the
Central Park menagerie yesterday to see Jewel,
the elephant. and the two lions which arrived
from Chicago Tuesday night. They arc the ami.
mails for which Fatima. the hippopotamus, was
snapped.
Jewel was somewhat stubborn as she was being
led TO the Park from the station during the early
hours of the morning. She stopped two or three
times and had to be urged on. In Fifth avenue,
near Fitty.fourth street. she refused TO go fur
ther until the Duchess, u docilc old elephant, was
brought down from the menageric and coupled
to her with chains.
The rest OF the journey was made quietly and
both We're put in the same stall. to which visitors
were admitted to view the new acquisition.
Leo, the lion. and his spouse Rose came from
Chicago in the cage in which Fatima, the hippo
potamus. had been carried to the Western city.
The two were easily transferred to their per
manent quarters in the menagerie, next TO Sui
tan, the old lion. Sultan is 80 years old and is
an ideal king OF beasts in appearance. Leo Is
only q years old and not fully grown. The lion
css is 3 years old.
Sultan began to roar whom he scented his next:
door ncighbors. Leo answered the roars, and
soon all the animals in that house were taking
part in an uproar which perhaps was u greeting
to the newcomers.
