MANY PEOPLE CATCH COLD.
Slight Causes Often Produce serious Re- suits to Mems Health.

The various ways in which a cold may be brought on are thus described by Dr. J. H. Kellogg. "A little aise blade or air blowing in through crack in window upon some part of the body will chill that part and the 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, tbe blood vessels of the skin of the top oi the shoulders and the chest gre asso~ clated 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 a contraction of the blood vessels of the back of the neck there will be a contraction of the blood vessels of tho nose and throat. and if there is contraction of the blood vessels of the top of the shoulders and the shoulder blades, there will also be a contraction or the blood vessels of the lungs W AOA IuC luuucllC6 Ol Iuc COlQ IS con- tinued 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 ana the congestion. So if the back of the neck is exposed for long time to tha 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 continuaq it may cause not only 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 ii there has ever been trouble there, or 8 wtasness of the stomach if there has been >atarsl of that organ"

In the towns 1t Is now sold to a certain extent, bGi how small this Is may be gatbere from the fact that the yearly consunas tlon of soap in India is about 10O, hundred weight; that Is to say, ever, 2,500 persons use on an average only 112 pounds of soap among them; or, in other words, considerably less tedn an ounce is the average consumption of person.

France Has & Substitute for the Tsritiab
 Cat o' Nine Tails

Some of the French newspapers have been telling about the new method of whipping men which had just been introduced experimentally into some of the penitentiaries and colonies of France. The instrument bears the pleasing name of 'the electric cat," and lEleetrician expresses the scientific opinion that it is great improvement 1pon the Russian knout and the cat . nine tails, which, it says, still unfor. tunately figures in many penal colo afes and in the penitentiaries of so- called civilized states. The method of this new whipping machine is very simple and business-like. The culprit who has been sentenced to undergo the lash Is tied to post in the usual man. her. Behind him is wheel driven by an electric motor, which gnes round with velocity that is unpleasant for the victim. The velocity may be regu- lated, however, according to the sever- lty of the trounciDg to be alminis- tered. Attached to one of the spokes Is whip which swings around the circle and the culprit is placed at such an angle with reference to the instru- ment Of tiagellation that every time 1t comes around it nips him squarely on the back It is claimed for the new Invention that it dispenses justice im- partially and equally. It has no anil mus against the prisoner, it's blows aw given with equal intensity, and it bet. ter fulfills the idea of even-handed Justice than manual logging. which Is likely to distribute penalties very un- evenly. .--PhiladelDh T:nes.
