pears of $1,000, 900, unknown, des-

Poisonous Presentation.

The question of the toxic qualities of
perspiration, though not quite new
one (inasmuch as M. Berthelot at a re-
cent meeting of the Paris Medical acad-
envy reminded his listeners that if Afri-
canus can be believed the perspiration
gathered from a horse was used in an
Gent times to render arrows pOisonous),
has recently formed the subject of re-
search. Several experiments have proved
that human perspiration is toxic. A Sc
rles OF guinea pigs and rabbits were
killed by NEGOTIATIONS of perspiration
gathered from a flannel shirt worn by q
healthy young man after dancing CO.
tlllon. A glove worn by lady who
danced vigorously through ball was
utilized for NEGOTIATIONS with equally
deadly results. M. Arloing's more re-
cent experiments show that perspiration
resulting from muscular exertion is
more toxic than that consequent from a
vapor bath. British Medical Journal.

ROYAL English Authors.

The list begins naturally with AL
fred, 'the father of English prose, " as
Sir Stopford Brooke calls him. Next
comes Henry II and Richard l. Edward
III is also said to have been an author,
and Richard II is believed to have
"made ballads and songs, rondeaus and
poems, Even Henry Y has been ac-
credited with Latin verse, but this is
doubtful. Henry VI was an author and
Henry VII writer on theological sub
jects, while Edward VI, Mary l and
Elizabeth all wrote. James | is better
known as an author. Charles | wrote,
and Charles II has claims to a place on
the list, he having written a curious ac-
count of his adventures after the battle
of Worcester. James Ii composed his
own memoirs. About 100 years ago
there appeared an account of a model
farm at Petersham, near Richmond, in
Arthur Young's "Annals Of Agricul-
ture," signed Ralph Robinson of Wind

HOW TO ESCAPE COLDS.

/ In recent issue of the Communion
few words were said concerning the
usual modes of catching cold, and
mention was made of the various es
pecially sensitive areas of the body,
or ''cold spots," but nothing was said
as to the best means of protecting
these spots and preserving the body
in general from colds.
1t is not always sufficient, however,
to point out danger; it is often of
even greater Importance to show how
the danger may be averted. Most
people properly recognize a cold as
avoidable, and think they are greatly
to be commended for the prudence
they exercise in protecting them
selves; but if they did but know it,
they are really doing all they can TO
make themselves susceptible to colds
by weakening their resisting pow
ers.
A German professor once wrote a
treatise, with learned title. on how
to avoid catching cold. After tracing
the history of colds from the earliest
ages, studying their causes and
symptoms, and cataloguing the RENE
dies which have been used by the
most eminent physicians of all time,
he concluded with a short chapter on
prevention.
His plan was to inure the back of
the neck to draughts by having some
one direct a current of air upon it
from bellows three times a day.
The writer had the correct idea,
although it's practical application was
clumsy, and he was a long time in
reaching it. The best and only way
to escape colds is to meet the causes
that produce them and not to run
from them.
Let the body be hardened by cold
sponge bath or even a cold plunge,
followed by brisk rubbing with a
"scratchy" towel, every morning.
Let the clothing be adapted to the
season, though always as light as
possible, but keep the neck uncover
ed-no turned-up coat collar, no
muller, no boa. Never let the tenn
perature in the house rise above 20
degrees in the winter. Air every
room Systematically every day., no
matter what the outdoor temperature
may be. Always have fresh air in, the
bedroom; there is nothing poisonous
in might air." popular belief to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
In word, don't be always afraid of
catching cold; don't coddle, but meet
cold and wet and changes of tenn
perature like manor rather, like
horse, and you will then run bette
chance of being as strong as a horse.
OF course you must strengthen
yonr armor where it is weak, but if
you recognize in yourself a weak
place, a "cold spot" don't cover it
up with more clothes, but tougher it,
and tougher your entire body until it
is one homogeneous resistant whole.
