known as the "Ohio COTTAGE" and is
model of perfection. It was dedicated
on July II, 1890, with elaborate cere-
monies, and turned over to the Wom-

Japan's National Flower.

The blossom of the cherry tree is lne
national flower OF Japan. Picnics in
Japan are called going to see the flow
ers." In June, millions of the people
20 out to sing and sport under the
cherry trees. The japanese cultivate
all over the country the sakura or

the blooms ere often as large as a rose.

He Missed the Pun.


There are no funnier people in the
world than those who never see joke.
Many good stories are told about them,
and of these one of the best, as well as
one of the latest, is furnished by the
Washington Post.
Many years ago, when the Press Club
was in existence, q British newspaper
man was at the club one evening. He
had been in Washington for some time
and was leaving the next day. Mr..
Karl Decker made speech to him.
'Mr. So-and-So," said Mr.. Decker,
"you have spent some time with us,
and have made many friends. We
have become attached to you. You are
going away tomorrow, and we may
never see you again, but in order that
you may always have something by
which to remember us, on behalf of the
Press Club present you this ring"
And then he struck the call bell on
the reading table near him. The Eng
lishmen looked a trif1e bewildered for
a bit, then he reached out his hand,
thanked the club and pocketed the bell.
And-bless his simple English heart
next morning he told another newspa
per man how kind the Press Club had
been to him and what lovely presenta-
ton speech Mr.. Decker had made.
''Mr. Decker must have been awfully
nervous, you know" he said, though
he didn't show it, for he said: I present
you this ring and don't We know, it
wasn't a ring at ALL it was bell"

The Montreal inventor who claims to
have produced gun by which two
men can fire 100000 shots a minute,
without an explosive, and with a range
of 5000 yards, fails to say how he is to

secrecy surrounding the invention, like
that of the Keely motor, is probably its

How to Prevent Taking Cold.

A person in good health easily resists
cold, but when the health flags and lib
critics are taken with the stomach or
with the nervous system a chill is east
ly taken, and, according to the weak
spot Of the individual. assumes the
form Of cold or pneumonia, or, 10 may
be, jaundice. OF all causes Of cold
probably fatigue is one Of the most
efficient. A jaded man coming home at
night from long days work, grow
ing youth losing two hours sleep over
evening parties two or three times II
week, or young lady heavily "doing
the season." or young children overfed
and with short allowance of sleep, are
common instances Of the victims Of
cold.
Luxury is favorable to chill taking.
Very hot rooms, feather beds and soft
chairs create n constituencies that leads TO
oatarrhs Some of the worst colds hap
pen to those who do not leave their
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 bathing and regular habits, preserve
the tone of their nervous system and
circulation.
Probably many chills are contracted
at night or at the flag end of the day,
when tired people get the equilibrium
of their circulation disturbed by either
overheated sitting rooms or underheated
bedrooms and beds.
