but all of the molders are not out, and
it is the intention of the foundrymen
to run as best they can until matters
improve. In some Of the foundries an
apparent lack of enthusiasm in the
strike was noted. The issue is one of
wages and a recognition of the union
by the fOundrymen.

A very singular record is attached to
deserted and ruined house at Dart
moor, England. 1t was built by a
wealthy landowner. with the intention
OF making 1t his country residence; but
before the building operations were
completed q heavy thunderstorm broke
over Dartmoor, and the house was
struck by lightning, the roof being dis
mantled. The damage was repaired
and the house quickly finished. No
sooner did the owner take up his resi-
dence in it than another violent storm
struck the house and destroyed tho
chimney-stack, doing, besides, consid-
cradle damage. This made the owner
nervous, and he left the house. 1t was
soon shown that his fears were not
groundless,for in nearly every thunder
storm that passed over the district the
house has been struck, and fresh
portion Of it destroyed. Altogether II
has been struck over 200 times.

THE sNEEziNe SEASON.
Como Valuable Hint. For warai.s on
Cold.

eome Valuable Hints For wardins on
Gold.
A cold, as nearly every intelligent
person knows, is the result of a stop
page somewhere of free circulation OF
blood. to which one is first sensitive
through feeling OF chill.
So slight is the chill oftentimes that
not until the preliminary sneeze comes
Is the victim aware he or she has been
In the track OF draught, or that the
temperature has changed.
The usual notion is that by going In.
doors, changing to heavier clothing or
retreating from the moist atmosphere
the danger is averted. These precau-
lions are all well enough, but the first
and most efiicacious measure should be
TO restore the quick flow OF warm blood
through every vein. and so by heat in
stantly counterfeit the little chill.
One, perhaps the simplest method of
uoing this. has been learned by, men
who stand on sentinel duty. who are
Obliged to suffer more or less exposure
IN winter, or who scorn the comforts
OF cold weather, of overcoat and UNI
brella.
Their method when the temperature
OF the body or extremities is lowered,
or n sudden chill or quick change from
warm to cold atmosphere is endured,
is to inhale three or four deep breaths,
expand the lungs to their fullest extent.
holding every time the inhaled air as
long as possible and then slowly letting
1t forth through the nostrils.
In doing this the imitation of the
lungs sets the heart into such quick
motion that the blood is driven with
unusual force along its channels and
so runs out into the tiniest veins.
This radiates n glow down to the
toes and finger tips and sets up quick
reaction against the chill. The whole
effect is to stir the blood and set it in
motion as from rapid exercise.
