Besides general weakness, two
things make people liable to colds:
One, any chronic irritation of mucous
membranes; the other, lack of tone in
the tissues covering the body. The
latter is the most frequent source Of
colds If people bathed and rubbed

would be no need of wearing so much
clothing to keep them warm. The
glow of healthy skin circulation is

the plaza, 100 feet ahead of the balI
from Zapuri, on the first trip around
the valley.
The race went on all night. Far into
the afternoon they ran, but in a little
less than fourteen hours the balls had
made the prescribed number of trips
around the valley and four runners
on one side and three on the other
were coming at the top of their speed
over the last three miles of grassy
lawns toward the goal. A line was
drawn in the dust across the street
at the edge of the plaza and the crowd
gathered back, awaiting the victors.
AS they rushed toward us it was
impossible to say which would win.
But as one runner from each side
reached the balls one failed to catch
the ball of his side fairly on his foot
while going at full speed and his
throw was weak; the other, catching
the ball fairly, gave great bound
and, twisting his leg as if it were
an arm, hurled the ball fair and
square over the line and over our
heads.
How the crowd yelled, and how we
yelled with them, and how the reek
ing visitors were praised and petted
as they sat down to divide their
winnings! Soon after n course Of
about ten miles was laid out around
the town and race was run by the
girls of the two pueblos- Like their
brothers, they had only the blue sky
over them and about three yards Of
cloth and the Republic of Mexico
around them; but how they did rue.
and how they set the bali spinning!
The bronze Dianas of Guachiochic
won, thereby softening the defeat Of
their dusky brothers.

Extraordinary Values in Jewels.

1t is Il mistake to suppose that the
diamond is the most precious of all
stones. A fine ruby of one carat is
worth $3.50, sapphire $500 and 4
diamond $50. At $3.50 n carat the
Braganza would be worth only $685.
600, but the ratio of increase in value
is very great per carat as the stones
grow larger. The Prince Edward OF
York, weighing sixty and onefourth
carats, would be worth, at $50 q
carat, only $003T.5O, But the pric
actually paiG was $1525 a carat. At
the same price the Braganza would be
worth only $2,562,000. But with the
magnificent size of this stone tile ratio
increases to $173,G01 a carat.-New

How the English Make Love.

A statiStician claims to have learned
some remarkable facts concerning the
manner In which English men and
women make love.
When they are about to propose, he
says, Englishmen act in various ways.
Thirty-six out Of every hundred take
the young ladies in their arms and
then whisper the expected words. The
others accompany their words with
kisses, which the cold blooded press on
the ladies' cheeks, the self-possessed
on their hair and the enthusiastic on
their lips. Not more than two per
cent. Of these wooers go down ON their
knees when proposing. Ten per cent.
of them are extremely timid when the
crucial moment comes, and, no matter
how hard they try, they cannot speak
in the ladies' presence. They stop and
close their mouths nervously, and all
their endeavors to utter words Of love
are utterly vain.
About the demeanor of English
women on such an occasion the statis-
tician has also much to tell us. Sixty
eight per cent. Of them, he says, blush
when they hear an avowal Of love and
cover their faces with their hands.
One out of hundred is SO overcome
with emotion that she falls back ON q
sofa, and another one Immediately
rushes off to tell the good news to her
friends. Ten out of every hundred
remain like statues until the words
are uttered and then fall gracefully
into the arms CT their wooers.

A QUEER FRONTIER EXPERIENCE.
Why . Western Pioneer Family He'd tn
Pick Their Wheat Over.

Pick Their Wheat Over.
In narrating the frontier experiences
o, "Thc First White Baby Born in the
Northwest" In the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, W. S. Harwood tells of a queer ex-
perience that befell the family in the
first year after settling on farm far
removed from the settlements '.The
winter had been unusually long and
severe, and their store Of provisions
ran low. 1t was long distance to the
nearest base of supplies. and commu-
cation with the outside world had been
cut off. Indians in the neighborhood
one night broke into the granary where
the wheat was stored and stole a
quantity. In doing this large amount
Of broken glass became mixed with
the wheat which the Indians left, so
for many days, amid much merry
storytelling and many joke and
laugh, in spite Of the serious situation,
the family gathered about large
table in their livlng-room and spent
the short winter days picking over
the wheat, kernel by kernel, in order
to free 1t from the pieces of glass. For
this wheat stood between them and
starvation, and none of its precious
kernels must be lost Their stock of
-four had long since wasted away, as
had most of their food supplies. so
they boiled and ate the wheat without
grinding. Relief reached them just in
time to prevent sad ending to the ex-
perience."

whose goal is duty.
A haggling woman is nearly as

Into wisdom's webs wise men their
waiting moments weave.

Keeping ones grievances to ones
self is an excellent proof of mental
equfpoise.
A sense of justice gone wrong be-
comes dangerous. 1t shows itself in
malice, revenge and evil-speaking.
In the love Of brave and faithful
man there is always a strain Of mater
nal tenderness; he gives out again
those beams Of protecting fondness
which were shed on him as he lay on
his mothers knee.
Every hard duty that you would
rather not do, that 1t will cost you
pain, or struggle, or sore effort to do,
has blessing to 1t. Not to do it is to
miss that blessing. Every heart load
that you are called to lift hides in it.
