Nature scarcely ever strikes without
warning. In so far as disease is concerned
1t gives clear signs of what is impending
days, weeks, months, and even years be-
fore the attack. If people looked for these
signs and took warning from them they
would escape much serious illness and live
many years longer than they do. 1t is
indeed remarkable how careless we are in
this respect. A man who will anxiously
scan the sky for signs of coming rain lest
his tophat may get spoiled will never
dream of examining his eyes. nose or inger
nails for signs of coming illness.
The sneexe, for instance. is very signif-
icant. 1t is always a sign that something
Is injuring the air passages, anywhere
from the nose down to the lungs. Should
it be only a case of snuff or pepper of
course the sneeze is of no consequence.
But often it is an Indication of congestion.
There is Inflammation somewhere, with too
much blood, and the object of the sneeZe
is to give relief by getting rid of some OF
the fluid. This sneeze is a warning that
every prudent person should attend 10. IL
is at least the forerunner of a cold. But
ii may indicate an approaching attack or
bronchitis or pneumonia. When there Is
much sneezing, accompanied by something
like a small shower of rain, the victim
will do well to take a warm fOOtbath, go
to bed, and adopt the other usual remedies
TO cure a cold.
The winter cold itself is a grave warning.
When it recurs two or three times every
winter, il is sure 10 be followed, in the
end, by chronic bronchitis. Once this
comes on it is practically ~incurable.
Men are started on their lives much as a
shell from a cannon-with a certain fixed
quantity of energy. If disease or accident
does not carry them off, they will die some
time of what we call old age-in other
words, when the energy with which they
started is spent. Some have energy enough
TO carry them over the full century; others
have only sufficient to keep them going for
ninety, eighty, seventy, sixty or fewer
years. Now, early badness is a sure sign,
with some exceptions, that the energy is
likely TO fail sooner than in the average
man. But all kinds of badness have not
this significance. Sometimes the loss OF
hair arises from scalp disease. caused prob
ably by microbes. The warning baldness
is that kind which commences about the
temples and on the crown of the head, and
gradually eats its way over the scalp, until
only a circular fringe of hair is left.

In vivid imagery his words appear:

The walls with far-famed artists pictures bright.
Was it a home? Dwelt happiness within?
Could true joy dwell there when the wage of sin
Had the foundation laid. had reared the walls,
And placed the furnishings within its halls?
The night descended. Sunset rays Of gold
Pressaged not warmth, but bitter winds and
cold:
Storms shook the stately mansion; it did seem

BotE teams are playing good, winning ball; but they have no cinches on the pen nants as yet, for the season is still young and the race is close.

DEATH OF WILLIAM BANNoN.
Had Been q Resident of Waterbury
 for Over Sixty Years.

AoE CNeT SlXty ears.
 William Ramon died last evening at his home, 362 Washington avenue. The deceased was born in Ireland in 1880 and came to this country about 50 years ago and has lived in Water bury ever since. With two or three exceptions, none of the Irish people then living in Waterbury are now in the flesh MT Ramon was among the few Catholics who attended divine service with his co-religionists in this cit ywhen they had no special place to worship in, but as he often said him. self he was spared t0 see his country menbecome so numerous in Waterbury that he could hear their voices and seq the result of their labors in all parts of the city. He took an interest in pub lie affairs and until recently was fa- milar with the various questions that crop up fro mtime to time relative to local and national affairs.
 In his boyhood days he worked for a MT Lewis in Naugatuck doing chores on farm, but he soon gave this up and accepted a position at Brown &c Elton's commonly known as the East Brass mill, where he learned the busi- ness of wire drawing. Later he went to Brown &c Bros, remaining there r1n- til the firm went out of business. Then he secured employment at Benedict & Burnham's Wire mill where he remain duntil he was appointed janitor of the Bank street school where he rem dered efficient service until after long and earnest solicitation on the part of his family he retired. The balance of his life was spent i'll the quiet of his own home where he was surrounded with all the comforts which years of honest toll had won for him. He was for many years member of the Sen for Temperance society. but he severed his connection with the organization long since. Still he was held in grate- ful remembrance by those who knew him as a member of that body and all speak of him as man of excellent parts.
 He was q very agreeable neighbor, good husband and afther, an exem- pIary christian and citizen and leaves his family record which they can justly feel proud of. He is survived by his widow, two sons, Captain F. F. and William E. Ramon, a daughter, Mrs James Cunningham, one brother, Major c. R. Ramon and sister, Mrs Michael Downey.
 The funeral will take place at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday, morning with a mass of requiem at St Patrick's church and interment in St Joseph's cemetery.
 Friends are requested to omit flowers.
