WATERING TROUGHS FOR MEN.
A assachusett PhiIanthropist's scheme to

from watering tanks In many cities and towns
in western Massachusetts and Connecticut. has

Nr. Lewis. several years ago, conceived The
idea that there are TOO few places where wheel
men and Others can get water tn drink and he
oct out TO remedy the omission al hi own ev-
pense. He perfected a pipe connection that
could be fitted to the feed pipe in watering
trOlghs and screwed to the top a small cup our
of which the water could flow. These pipe con-
nections were arranged 10 be pincnd in troughs
in such IA way thal the cup would he several

readily drink from IL. About forty of
these have been placed in troughs al Mr..

Where Goldfish Are Propagated.

About three miles south of St. Jos eph, on the King Hill road. is located one of the Missouri state fish hatch cries. It's chief interest lies in the fact that it is the only place in the state or in the country anywhere. where goldfish are propagated and dis tributed. Here these little aquarium beauties may be obtained for a mere thank you" and many are they who avail themselves of this privilege. From October until January four goldfish each are given to every citizen of ths state until the supply is exhausted,

MANY PEOPLE CATCH COLD.
Slight Causes Often Produce Serious Res
 suits to Mems Health.

Slight Causes Often Produce Serious Re-
 suits to Mems Health.
 The various ways in which cold may be brought on are thus described by Dr. J. H. Kellogg: "A little Anife blaGe of air blowing in through i crack in window upon some part of the body will chill that part and tho blood vessels of that region will be. come contracted, affecting somewhere in the interior of the body an area in reflex relation with this portion of the surface of the body For instance, the blood vessels of the skin of the top of the shoulders and the chest are asso- ciated with the blood vessels of the lungs, so that whatever happens to the blood vessels of the skin of the shoulders and chest happens also to the blood vessels of the lungs. If there is contraction of the blood vessels of the back of the neck there will be contraction of the blood vessels of the nose and throat, and if there is a contraction of the blood vessels of the top of the shoulders and the shoulder blades, there will also be contraction of the blood vessels of the lungs When the influence of the cold is con- ifnued this contraction is followed by congestion. When one. puts his hands into cold water, for few minutes they are first pale and then red. This is re- action. The longer the application and the more intense the degree of cold the greater will be the contraction and the congestion. So if the back of the neck is exposed for a long time to the influence of cold one is likely to have cold in the nose and throat; if the shoulder blades and the tops of the shoulders are exposed one is likely to take cold in the lungs and suffer from congestion of the lungs. If the cold is long continued it may cause not only a congestion but an inflammation of the nose or lungs. So if the bottoms of the feet become wet or chilled a weakness of the bladder may result if there has ever been trouble there, or a wt akness of the stomach if there has been latarrh of that organ"

4 Granttnl MensifcanI.

grateful mendicant has died in the village of Hinstock; near Newport, England, and his gratitude assumed an exceedingly novel form.-for a beggar. His name was Meeson, he was aged and his generally destitute air and wretch ed surroundings gave his neighbors the impression that he had not penny in the world. Out of pure charity they accordingly for many years provided him with food and clothing. Great sur prise was caused among the good Sa- maritans when it became known that by his will he had left e2,o00 and cer- tain real property for division among those who had assisted him. As one of them remarked, it was clear case of casting your bread on the water, and seeing 1t come back after many days buttersd on both sides.

JAMES OF DAYS.
Have Curious DerivatIons Which Ee~
 People Know.

YeOple An0ws
 Last night l was at a stag dinner where the company at large was asked from what source the days of the week derived their names, and only one man out of the twelve present could answer the question, and he was the man who asked it, and he was one day wrong at that, for I've since looked the matter up. Sunday and Monday are simple enough, and in themselves suggest their derivation from the sun and moon, but with Tuesday We come to the ancient gods of our forefathers. the Engels, that hardy race that displayed the Briton and gave their name to the English people. Tuesday was named for Twi, their god of death. Wednes- day for 0din, Woden or Wotan, wha occupies in their mythology a position analogous to that of Jupiter on Mt, Olympus; Thursday for Thor, the god of air and storm and rain; Friday for Freia or Freya, the god of peace, and Saturday possibly for Saeterr, an ob- scure god of their mythology, but more probably 1t takes it's name for Saturn It would seem as though almost any one you would ask would know the derivation of these words of daily use, but I'll wager that not one person ont of a hundred can tell them correctly. It's like the surprise the Bible gives one not familiar with it, by the idioms and phrases they will come across when reading it's pages, that are fami- liar and colloquial in the language they use, but which are uttered without the slightest knowledge of whence they came on the part of either speaker or listener. r.-New York Tribune.

 When it comes to unique sancies h household decorations, Elizabeth, queen of Roumania, poet and sentie mentalist, must be awarded the palm She was very much ayerse to electric ity for Illuminating purposes until quite recently, ana Ter boudoir was lighted by crystal flowers. in the arts of which gleamed pale-colored 1ahts. The palace is filled with. panel pie~ lures and verses, all written by the queen, or painted by her gifted court ladies. The great dining hall is orna- mented with tall panels illustra1 ng the principal works of Carmen Sy.ya,s novels, romances and poems. The rom Is very som5er. being furnished with black oak and cordovan leather. and lighted only by stained glass win6 ows. brilliant in color and representing court halls, wedding banqnets and other royal festivities. but neverthe. less they prevent the sun from ne. tfating the gloomy grandeur ot the apartment. T his is why the queen, ' ho loves beauty and harmony, strictly for bids the wearing of black or dark dresses at her table. She prefers uniform to conventional evening dr sss. and does not shrink from fancy dress if it be gay and pretty. The quee Is ladies in waiting are chosen froa the prettiest and cleverest girls in Roumania, and several fine musicians and talented amateur actresses and artists are te be forad among them.

Ebe teacher who influenced Strauss most was one Joseph Dreshler. tbs ehoirmaster of St. Stevens church it Vienna, who tried to get the waltzes out of the boys head and put in their place anthems and ehorals.

WON DEhlr OL L AXE
Filied With Boiling Acids That Ese
 Buats to Pieces.

bBats to Rieces.
 A strange lake exists in the center of Sulphur island, off New Zealand. It Is 50 acres in extent, about F feet in depth and 15 feet above the level Of the sea- The most remarkable char aeteristie of this lake is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro chloric and sulphurfe acids, hissing and bubbling at temperature of 11G degrees Fahfenheit. The dark green. colored water looks particularly unin viting. Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes constantly roll off shis boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised in ap preaching this lake to avoid the risk of suffoeation. On the opposite sice Of the lake may be seen the tremendous blow-holes, which, when in full blast. present an awe-inspiring sight. The roar of the steam as 1t rushes forth Into the air is deafening, and often huge powders and stones are hurled out to height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces of na. ture. 4 beat can be launched on the , lake, and, if proper care be observed the very edges of the blow-holes may De safely explored. Some idea of the strength of the acid-saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that a boat almost dropped tc pieces after all the passengers had beer landed, as the rivets had eorroded uns aef the influence of the acids.

We do not remember to have seen f9r long time q more curious case Of thief's eleverness than shat which was recorded at Clerkenwell. Solomon Buffer, who. with companion, was convicted of burglary Tn jewellers shop, managed to conceal two diamond rings in spite of the most thorough search by the police, and eoptrived to pass one of them away to his wife when he was in the cells, putting it into her mouth by means of his tongue ~hen kissing her" The other he kept under his tongue all the time he was ander arrest. and 1t would probably never have been found at all if his companion had not exposed him in court, and so induced the judge to order careful inspection of his mouth
