Catching Cold.

A cold is popularly supposed to follow
an exposure Of the body, or some part Of
it, to low temperature. This belief,
however, is not strictly correct, for, says
the Youths Companion, colds msy be
brought about by change OF temperR-
ture in either direction, and often "catch-
ing heat" would he the more correct
expression.
II is doubtless within the experience
Of everyone to have felt the first stiffness
Of an onComing cold in the head soOn
after entering an overheated room, The
sufferer blames the outside cold for this,
but the real culprit is the inside heat,
which is, perhaps, made more potent for
evil by the stagnstiOn Of the impurity-
laden air.
In summer, as we'll as in winter, q cold
often arises from exposure OF certain
portions of the body to a current Of air,
especially il She person is at the same
time perspiring freely. There are four
points ON the surface Of the body which
seem to be especially sensitive to
draughts.
These susceptible areas, which some
one has aptly dubbed "cold spots," are
the parts through which a chill most
easily excites the nervous disturbance
which is at the bottom Of all colds; for
the microbes which are believed 70 Be

the active agents in producing cold
cannot act as long as the nervous equi-
librium of the mucous membrane is
maintained.
One Of these cold spots, which Is so
we'll known as hardly to need mention, is
the back part of the head and neck.
The feet constitute another universally
recognized portal through which mis-
chief comes. Wet feet are generally
looked upon as specially dangerous, but
wet feet are powerless for i'll so long as
they are not cold. A pedestrian might
walk all day with wet feet and suffer no
harm; but let him stop for any length of
time, so as to permit Of slowing of the
local circulation, and the wet feet will
quickly become chilled feet and the mis-
chief be done.
Another vulnerable area is the abdo-
men. The sterner sex, which is also the
wiser in matters Of dress, usually keeps
this vital part we'll protected against at
mospheric influences; but woman, with
curious inconsistency, carefully protects
her shoulders and wraps up her throat
whenever she goes out, but will face a
bitter wind with never a thought of
shielding her body with anything more
substantial than light undergarments
and thin cloth skirt.
Finally, there is another peculiarly
sensitive area, the existence Of which is
not even suspected by many Of its most
frequent victims. This cold spot is To-
Gated in the shins. Men are especially
prone to take cold through this channel,
since the ordinary overcoat leaves the
legs below the knees but little protected.
Street cars and omnibuses are respon-
sible for most Of our shin.caught colds,
and as regards their evil influence in this
respect the heated cars are the worst, for
the draughts that play about the suffer
ing passengers legs afford just that sud-
den change from high to low temperature
in which the imp Of catarrh, bacillus of
polYsyllabic appellatives, most delights

About Republics.

From the New York Sun.
When we come to the republics Of
Central America we observe that the
population Of the whole i've Of them is
less than that Of the enlarged city Of
New York.
Brazil is far ahead OF Mexico, both in
the size Of its territory and in the num-
ber Of it's inhabitants. BrRziPs popula-
tion is now over 100000, while Mexico's
is l2,OOO,OOO. The area Of Brazil is more
than four times as great as that Of Mex
leo. AS to the relative Importance OF
the commercial interests of the two coun-
tries, Mexico is in advance Of Brazil.
The city Of Rio de JaneirO, the capital
Of the Brazilian republic, is now nearly
twice as large as the City Of Mexico, the
capital Of the Mexican republic, II
Brazil there are a number of large citiee
besides the capital. In Mexico there il
not a city, other than the capital, with
100000 inhabitants.
The population of Brazil is enlarged
every year by immigration from Italy
and Germany, This cannot be said for
Mexico.
We esteem Mexico equally with Bra
I'll; but that does not prevent us from
correcting the lecturer who said that
Mexico is the third greatest of the
worlds republics, when, in truth, it is
the fourth.
II you add up the figures Of the popu-
lation Of France, Brazil and Mexico, the
three republics that stand next to the
United States, you will find that the sum
total is millions less than that Of the
population OF our own country. Yet we
are not at all stuck up on that account.
We are good friends of all the republics
in the world, including the two that
exist in Africa. We belong to the ccn-
cert Of the powers Of free and progress.

Ten Great Religions.

Answering a correspondent, the Globe
Democrat says: "The volumes entitled
Ten Great Religions by James Free
man Clarke, form probably the most
mastery effort at the historic treatment
Of the worlds faiths that has ever come
from the pen Of single individual. The
chapters Of volume are devoted, first,
to an introduction containing ethnic, or
racial, and catholic, or universal, relg-
ions, and after the Introductory chapter
the author takes up Confucianism, which
he calls the Prose Of Asia it being
rather philosophy than religion; then
Brahmanism, after which he treats Of
Buddhism, which he regards as the
Professionalism Of the East. Zoroaster
and the Zend Avesta come next, the lat
ter being the religion Of Persia and west
ern Asia, after which he devotes several
chapters to the gods OF Egypt, the gods
Of Greece, to the religion of Rome, to the
religious faith of the Teutons and Scan
dinsvians, which is sufficiently peculiar
to justify separate treatment; the jew
ish religion follows in separate chap
Ter, Mr., Clarke appearing to consider
the Christian religion as an outgrowth
or development Of Judaism; then comes
Islam, the creed Of Mohammed, making
ten in all. Mr. Clarkea second volume
ia devoted to calculating the points Of
similarity and Of difference between
these ten faiths. The idea Of God is
found in all, also the conception Of the
souls transmigration; each has u theory
Of the origin OF the world; each has
forms OF prayer and public Worship;
each has an idea Of inspiration; each has
given rise to art; each has code Of
ethics, and in all Mr. Clarke claims the
idea Of future state is found in a
greater or less degree of development" Z"

Roofs on American BulIdlngs.

From Harpers Bazaar.
We are all affected in different ways
by color and form, harmony and discord,
the beautiful and the ugly. Expert
ments have proved that certain cOlors
have the power to induce q temporary
insanity, from which relief is only OBJ
tanned by the use Of another color-as,
for instance, green, the most repOeeful Of
all the colors in nature. Discord in
music excites irritability. Bad proper
tiOns in architecture depress the spirits,
although no scientific experiments have
been made TO prove the fact-none, per-
haps, being thought necessary, For a
depression Of spirits has assailed us all
OF late in looking at certain new build
ings recently erected among US.
Each Of these has it's distinct virtues
and faults; but there is one fault none Of
them miss-the fault of bad roof and
hideous sky.lines. From the park you
get glimpse OF an imposing site-of
costly structure that might be source
Of inspiration. But 3 great white pile is
by a red roof, and that
again is topped by white dome. One
is distracted, depressed, and disappointed
beyond words. A gray stone srmory on
another fine site has a roof that is like a
silly impertinence. A new mRusoleum,
placed as no other building among us
has ever been placed, has sins in the way
OF sky-lines that are not to be described.
None Of these roofs suggest anything
in The way of utility, and as part Of
decorative whole they are failures. Is
it, Os we wondered at that dinner the
other night, that our climate and our
social conditions have never made it nee
essary for us to use the tops Of our houses
except as store rooms and garrets, and
that therefore the art Of architecture,
which is an adaptation of the ideal to
the practical, when confronted by roof
must fail? For we do not, like the Mo
hammedan, use our roofs for our daily
prayers or our nightly recreation. Nor
yet, again, is it necessary for US to retire
to one for observation of our enemies.
Utility has therefore not helped us
with suggestion, nor yet has National
custom or the exigencies of torrid zone
given US a hint We are, in fact, in a
difficult place-one in which only the
genius Of some young architect can save
us from monstrosity. And that genius
is one which will make Of roofs special
study.

Keep the Feet Warm.

From the London Hospital.
We should at all hazards keep the feet
warm. The difference between cold feet
and warm is difference which has an
important effect upon the general temper
ature of the body, and an equally im-
portant effect upon both health and
comfort, alike in the night and in the
day. The blood, propelled by the heart,
oirculates, as we know, throughout the
whole body. II considerable part Of
the body, like the two feet, is very cold,
the warm blood has to pass through a
large cold area, and it becomes cooled in
passing. But, in the case Of cold feet,
not only is the area cold, but the flow Of
blood, in consequence OF the remoteness
of the feet from the cardiac pump, is Rt
it's lowest. There is, consequently, the
element Of time to be- considered and
when this is considered it is perceived
how very much really cold feet may
lower the whole temperature of the
blood, and SO Of the body. On the other
hand, when the feet are warm, very
warm, they will not lower, but actually
raise the temperature of the blood, and
thus make very important difference,
indeed, in the warmth of the whole body.

BILLY AND THE BEAM.
A Helpful Little Boy Who Was 1ru
Philosopher.

A Helpful Little Boy Who Was True
Philosopher.
First.-On a bright spring day up in
New Hampshire little Billy Blowgun was
watching his papa plant the garden.
Second. Why did little Billy Blowgun's
old man plant the garden?
Third. -Because little Billy father was
poor and had to do SO, that he might be
able to furnish his numerous family with
a winters grub stake. They were so poor
that they never had any other kind Of
steak. This is why little Billy helped his
pa. Every time old Billy would bore
hole in the earth with his boot heel little
Billy would steal slyly behind and drop in
a Seeding potato; then he would cover the
hole up. Oh, children, is it not beauti-
full thing to be able to assist our parents
ns little Billy is doing?
Fourth. As Billy Blowgun put his
right hand in his pocket to rest 1T while he
continued to drop seeds with his left his
fingers touched two beans that were left
over from last Sundays hunt with his
little blowgun. Running to his papa, he
exclaimed in childish glee: ooh, papa,
see what haye found! Two large kidney
beans. May plant them and have the
crop for my very owney own, that may
in time become bean merchant"
Fifth.-So old Billy gave him the de-
sired permission, and all that summer lit
tie Billy watched his bean vine grow.
Quoth he: "When sell my beans, shall
buy my dear mamma a new sealskin sack
and my father new clay pipe, for the old
one is strong enough to kill hem"
Sixth. One bright day in July little
bean was born.
Seventh. But, though he watched long
and earnestly, no more beans grew upon
the kidney bean vine ResigninR himself
to the inevitable, he said: well, by
chowder don't care anyway. This 10
not evidently bean year, and am lucky
to get ono bean for next years seed. I
must hope for the best. Ma and pa,
know, will wait another year for their
presents If I ask them" So Billy hoped
on.
Eighth. But one September morn, when
baby was playing in the yard, little Susie
came running to her mother, who was also
Billy's mother, and said, "Oh, mamma,
baby has picked Billy g bean when wasn't
looking and put it up its dear little nose. =
Ninth. Alas for Billy, with his only

No Billy was made Of better stuff, and
besides lie loved his little baby brother.
So he swallowed his disappointment and
felt better. He wished baby might swal-
low the bean as easy. Anyhow" be
