HEALTH FROM COLD AIR.
Winter About the Best Stimulant
People Cnn Have.

Many persons regard the winter season
as an unfortunate visitation. 1t is CON
sidered both uncomfortable to the body
and harmful to health. This is an error
Cold is most potent agent for the res
toration and preservation of normal &C
tivity on the part of the organs Of the
human body. 1t is a wise plan of provi
dence which gives us change Of sea
sons. The winter cold comes as a tonic
to repair the injuries done by the Ell
ervating heat of summer. Summer, it is
true, has many wise uses in the matter OF
health. 1t induces outdoor life, rids the
system of poisons through copious per
SEPARATION and through the scorching rays
Of sun destroys germ life.
Winter is the great bracer Of the sys
TEN. 1t stimulates activity in every or
gan. When cold attacks the surface OF
the body. the blood is set into more free
circulation as means Of bodily warmth
1t is through the circulation of the blood
that the human anatomy is Kept in 8
state of repair. When the food has beer
digcsted and converted into liquid form
it is taken up by the blood and carried
the rounds of the system for the purpose
Of repairing the waste places. When the
cold causes increased circulation, it also
brings about more perfect nutrition.
Mans face and hands illustrate how
weatherproof the body becomes when ex
posed to air. Continued activity in circu
lation on the surface, caused by the all
coming in contact with the skin, tends
to nourish and thicken the skin. Thus
mans skin grows thicker in winter just
as animals are supplied with double
coat of fur. The sayages who dwell bare
headed in the open mir are seldom, il
ever, known to be afflicted with bald
heads, while, with the civilian who shields
his scalp from air, badness is prevalent.

THE FLEET FOOTED GRIZZLY.

hC OUGHT LOOk lakeB u
Good Horse to Overtake Him.
'Some people think that n grizzly can't
run," said a. ]. Daggs of Phenix, A. r.
81 want to state right now that while the
bear Is clumsy beast he can cover as
much ground as the average saddle horse,
and man should be sure that he has q
good mount before he tries to get out OF
the way Of one which is angry. My broth
er was out in the mountains of the terri
tory among the sheep ranches one day,
when he saw, about go yards ahead of
him, big, awkward silver tip. My
brother had rifle, but he was not certain
that he would kill the bear if he shot.
and he did not know how n race would
turn out. He was mounted on one of the
best horses in the country, for q man
needed one in those days. He knew that
the bear would not fight unless wounded
or cornered, and he wanted to see how he
would run against his horse.
He was pretty certain that the bear
would run from him il he could once get
him started in the opposite direction, and
so he gave regular cowboy yell The
bear looked up and started shutting off
toward the mountain, about mile and q
half away. My brother spurred his horse
and lit out after grizzly, at the same time
keeping up the piercing 'yeep yecp' of
the cowboy. The bear soon got into the
running. and the way he got over that
ground was a caution. My brother saw
that the brute was getting away from
him, and he urged his horse to the ut
most, but he did not gain ten yards in
the whole mile and half. That bear
numbered along with leaps equal to n
greyhound. and his pursuer did not have
n chance to cut him out from his retreat.
II went over the course the next day to
verify the story, for it sounded fishy to
me. ! found that the bear had made
jumps from Is to 20 feet in length and
that the ground had been cut up by his
claws that it looked as if n harrow
had been run over it. For that reason
would advise no man to try foot race
with grizzly. "-Washington Post.

JACKS GRIEVANCES.
How He Makes Them Known to the
Captain of the Ship.

hO" ne makes Inem hnOVn TO the
Captain of the Ship.
There Is now but one way open for the
enlisted man. bluejacket or marine, who
has kick to register. He must show his
hand and file his complaint in his own
person or name, verbally or in writing
If 20, so. 100, enlisted men have COM
mon grievance, they must present that
grievance in delegation to the command
ing officer or in the form of n written bill
of complaint. with their signatures at
tachcd to it in order of their relative rat
ing. In most cases the method of pre-
senting grievances in delegation at the
mast is resorted to by the enlisted men Ct
the American navy of today. The man
with the individual grievance occasional
ly puts in his complaint in writing and
addresses il to the secretary Of the navy.
Commanding officers are compelled by
regulations to forward all such COM
plants to the civil chief of the navy
with, however, whatever Endorsement
thereon they elect to make.
1t is generally moderately bad job for
IN enlisted man to write narrative Of
woe to the secretary of the navy. Such
a chap doesn't frequently find his after
career in the navy one long dream of
peace anu quiet. ENLISTED men VINO nave
drawn up unreasonable complaints, even
complaints not entirely unreasonable, and
thus addressed them have generally shed
some quiet saline tears in their ham

the act. 1t seems reasonable to suppose.
too-for human nature is the same on sea
and land-that no bluejacket or marine
can possibly add to his sum total of COM
fort or happiness aboard ship by more or
less bluntly informing the civil head Of
the navy department that the command
ing officer of the vessel on which he
serves is an unjust man, bully or n man
who doesn't know his business. Yet this
fact. which looks so obriGiS, is very often
ignored by rash enlisted Exchange.

USES OF OLD PAPER.
What Was Once n Loss Now the Basis
Of q Big Business.

A curious and interesting feature of the
paper making industry was brought to
the notice of an office manager few
days ago by letter Of inquiry. The in
Quiry was about accumulations of writ
ten matter no longer of use, but Of such
n private business nature as to necessi-
tate careful disposal in order to prevent
examination by outside parties-old &C
count books, for instance.
Years ago large Offices used at some ex-
pense to have such accumulations de-
stroyed, usually by fire. But this was
troublesome, for paper in compact form
is slow to burn, and the destroying of
books and stacks of paper tended to clog
furnaces.
In course of time paper manufacturer
hit on the idea of taking such old papers
to mill under assurances of privacy and
chemically removing all traces Of writing.
Market price being allowed for the paper
thus gathered, what was before merely q
waste and a source of trouble besides be-
came productive of revenue worthy Of
consideration, and the plan grew in favor.
At first houses would send employees
with the stuff to the mills to be sure that
NO scattering occurred, but gradually this
precaution came to be discontinued.
A large paper concern, with mills in
Connecticut, has for years made spe-
cialty of collecting such papers from
bankers, insurance companies and large
mercantile houses and shipping them di-
rect!y to the mills, where by the use of
strong chemicals all traces of writing are
destroyed before the material is worked
over into paper pulp. This feature of the
economics of great city's affairs has
grown to great proportions, and some
times single loads contain as much as 20
or 80 tons of paper, all marked with writ
ing.
incidentally the spread Of contagion by
this method is effectually prevented. When
the writing has disappeared from the
sheets, so have all vestiges of life.
The refuse collected aids in making diff
ferent varieties Of paper, and the careful
sorting process that must be employed
constitutes one of the chief items Of ex-
pense in using this material. The stuff
which comes from correspondence Offices
goes in part to make writing paper. The
collections from newspaper headquarters,
containing wood pulp, must be used for
other purposes. All paper scrap is mixed
with large proportions of fresh material
in the manufacture of fresh white sheets.

CITY RATS
Difficulties Encountered by Shop.
Leeners In Getting Rid of Then.


Some of the big up town stores are
greatly bothered by rats. This is not Pc
cuiar to stores where food supplies arc
stored, but applies even to places where
fabrics and clothes are carried. Some Of
the older buildings along Washington
street are infested to such an extent that
much damage results. The rodents ap-
pear to find access to easements through
drains. At least it is supposed they do,
though it seems scarcely possible where
plumbing is pretty carefully looked after.
Places where furs are carried have to
be very carefully watched, for it has hap
pened that q few energetic rats with good
teeth have gnawed their way through q
great many dollars worth of merchandise
in a single night.
In some places they are 20 numerous
that cat is overawed and simply will
not attempt to attack them. In one store
basement few nights ago wire con-
partment trap, Familiarity called French
trap, corralled 16 big rats, which made
lots Of fun next morning for terrier that
lives In Avery street. This trap is sup
posed to be invincible, and, in fact, 1t is
seldom a rat beats it, but recently q
young dog that found several rats in one
of them, when there happened to be no
one about to look after him, turned the
trap over In bis anxiety to get at the prey.
This dropped the shutter, which is the
secret of the trap, and allowed all the
rats to pass out. Since that not a rat has
been caught in that trap. although it has
been repeatedly relieved Of its bait. The
dog had given the rats the tip, aid they
have ever since succeeded in holding the
shutter down while they hauled the bait
over it, thereby escaping imprisonment
themselves. Some legs of roasted chick
en- were strapped with wire to the inside
Of the inner cage, and yet the rats got all
but the bare bones and didn't get caught
at all. To any one who knows the eff
cheney of the French trap this story may
seem almost incredible, but it is AsvsrtAa-
less true.
1t has been found In several stores rAat
the trap is most attractive to the rats
when it is baited with lobster. For night
or two it is well baited and left open at
both ends. so that the rats may pass
through it freely. Then one end is closed
and locked. That night the number Of
rats captured will be limited only by the
capacity of the wire cell.-Boston Herald.
