Haitian Conservatism.

The Haitian is fine example of con
servatism. A few years ago the town
of Port de Paix, owing to an uneXpect-
ed progressive spirit on the part of the
government constructed some fine wa
ter works. The town was well piped,
with hydrants at short,distances on all
the streets. Decorative fountains We're
placed in the squares, drinking places
for man and beast everywhere. The
natives, as usual took not the slightest
interest in this important and neces.
sary undertaking. AT last, when com
pleted, in accordance with the custom
of the country, the water system was
opened with series of fetes. The
whole section of the country had a
hilarious holiday-balls, professions.
cockfghts, etc. When these were all
over the natives came to the conclu-
sion that the water works must have
been built to give an excuse for them,
and the water works were no longer of
any service, 50 they promptly smashed
the whole system, and returned TO
carting the city's water from the dis
tant river by OK teams. Now they tie
their animals to the hydrants. fall over
the fragments of the pipes scattered
round the streets, and are happy.

Colds and Bare Hands.

Many people marvel why they suffer
so frequently with cold in the head.
The matter has puzzled even the ON
niscient doctor, and his only explana-
tion was that some persons were con
stitutionally inclined that way.
Investigation shows, however, that 1t
is all due to the hands. No matter how
warmly you clothe the rest of the
body. you readily catch cold If you
leave the hands exposed.
The reason is very simple after all.
OF course every one knows that the
blood and vessels contribute sort
of hot water warming apparatus for
the body As the hands are more ex-
posed than other parts. they receive ii
more liberal supply Of the heating
fluid. But this blood is immediately
chilled and returned in an icy state TO,
