Danger Of Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe Is their resulting in pneu-
monia. Ii reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be

ands who have used this remedy for
these diseases we have yet to learn of
a single case that has resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusiyely
that 1t is II certain preventative of

1.-THE fireplace didn't have an oven, did
it?"
Our ovens were made of brick and
built right in the kitchen wall. We
heated the oven with glowing logs
from the fireplace"
Then Aunt Debby went on telling
stories until she fell asleep in her
chair. We girls were so quiet one
could have heard a pin drop. Present
Iy there was such a noise outside that
Aunt Debby awoke with start.
whats that noise?'' she asked,
looking around in dazed way.
81 think it must be Santa Claus"
Betty Jones answered with chuckle.
1t was Santa Claus, and he was super
intending the unloading of ton of
coal. Presently he came again-this
time with a load of wood. Aunt Deb
by's dear old face fairly shone by the
light of the fire.

Glow good you all are!"
How good you are, dear Aunt Deb
by.' cried out Isabel Howell.
When things had quoted down
again, Fannie Stearns said: "What
did you use to do Christmas when you
were a girl?"
81 can tell you what did one Christ
mas eve. Christmas was on Monday
that year. On Sunday we went to
church as usual. The pews were like
little houses. They were high and
square, with swinging doors. There
were seats on three sides. The pulpit
was high and was reached by flight
of deep steps. Over the pulpit was
sounding board. Father used to give
out the hymns and Melinda Wyckotf,s
father would, sound the key on his
pitch-pipe. Folks can talk all they
want to about the music In church
NOWADAYS. but, oh, wouldn't like to
roll time back just to hear that music
Of auId-lang-syne? We had a choir
Mr.. Wyckoff was the leader-and they
sat facing each other, the men on one
side, the women on the other. We had
instruments, too, violins, flutes, clari-
nets and bass-viols. Oh my dears, it
was beautiful.
81 told you we didn't have any stoves
in our houses. There were none in our
churches either until after that Christ
mas eve that I'm to tell you about.
Every one who went to church carried
hot bricks or stones or foot pans filed
with glowing Goals. There was time
when some one who had been to an
eastern city on a visit, suggested or
dering some heaters for the church.
But so many were opposed to it that
the church continued to be tireless.
This Sunday, in the midst of long,
tiresome sermon, the weather, which
had been extremely cold, suddenly
grew bitter. The storm broke. The
church seemed to shake and groan,
but the preacher preached on. When

RELICS OF ST. PIERRE.
Collection of HouSehold Utensils
from the Buried City for
Huston Museum.

Dr. Thomas A. Jaeger, of the Har-
ward department of geology, who has
been engaged in scientific researches
at St. Pierre, among the still smoking
ruins of the demolished city, will be
the means of placing on exhibition at
the Agassiz museum over 300 relics of
the great volcanic calamity, says
Boston report.
This collection is made up of knives,
forks, spoons, coins, glassware, plates,
platters, and many other objects Of
daily utility, some of which DR.. Jaeger
picked up in the ruins. However, the
greater number OF these souvenirs
were received as a gift from the French
government to the Harvard museum,
and were selected by DIR. Jaeger from
a mass of similar material collected
Immediately following the full hOr-
rors of the catastrophe, and stored for
safe keeping in the government vaults
at Fort de France.
To those viewing this collection the
personal character of the different OBJ
iects gathered renders it of more than
ordinary interest. In it are many
strange freaks caused by the action of
the molten lava and the different gases
upon the different utensils gathered
after the eruption.
Some of the knives, forks, and spoons
are melted together by the tremendous
heat, and many are stained in various
colors bv the oxidation of iron, silver
and copper and by the overflow of the
lava stream in which all the elements
were combined. Glass vessels, pit
chers, fruit jars, and other objects,
which can only be guessed at, are run
together by the heat.
Half melted candlesticks. coins
welded together in indiscriminate
chunks of metal, metal pitchers, sugar
bowls, jars and platters are all in evil
dence among this strange collection.
Many of these household utensils bear
the monogram of their former owners,
who were lost in the awful destruction
following the eruption of Mount Pelee.
In the collection are plates still covered
with fine gray dust, some melted into
almost unrecognizabl masses, others
separate and still unbroken. Added
to these articles is a cross fallen from
private shrine and two American gold
pieces.
Nearly every article collected shows
evidences of the tremendous heat
which brought death to every living
thing within the vicinity of the des-
tructive mountain. Much of the metal
in the collection has been changed
from its customary coloring to an ap-
pearance of great age. One of the
most interesting and unique articles
of this collection is copy of the last
issue of Les Colonies, presented to Dr.
jaeger by French planter. This copy
is most valuable accession to the col
lection which the Harvard scientist
obtained,

he thought best to stop an hour or
more later he found himself and his
congregation in a dilemma. The snow
was falling and blowing at such a rate
that one couldn't see a yard ahead.
The drifts in places were taller than
a mans head. There was not even the
faintest trace of road; in fact, we
were blockaded. 1t was then that
everyone wished for those heaters.
The hot fOOt-warmers were cooling
fast. Children began to weep and wall
as night closed in. The prospect was
that we would all be frozen before
morning. No one ever went to church
in those days without having an
abundance of wraps and their feet well
protected; this fact was in our favor.
All the children were well wrapped up
and fell asleep in the big square pews.
The men and women kept up their
courage by singing and praying. But
as time passed it grew colder and
colder, and no voice was heard except
at intervals when Deacon Van Brunt.
after going the rounds of the church
the sleeping children, would call out:
'AlIs well!' and Elder Schuyler would
respond: Praise the Lord! The last
time Deacon Van Brunt called out:
AIS well!' his voice was faint and his
teeth chartered. We knew then that it
wouldn't be 'Alls Well much longer
not much longer. Suddenly from out
side we heard a noise that was not the
storm-it seemed to ride the storm
it was yell of triumph. Simultane-
ously with the yell the door burst
open, and in came Alabama an Indi-
an chief whom Deacon Van Brunt had
once befriended. He was glittering
with ice and snow. but his face shone.
The Great Spirit had sent him. he
said. An Indian can find a path or a
road if anyone can. Alabama had
made path from Deacon Van Brunt's
to the church-a difficult task and we
had to hurry for fear the path would
be closed. The horses were brought
from the shed and the women and chill
dren were put on their backs. Then
we started, Indian file, for Deacon
Van Brunt's, which was half mile
away. Alabama headed the process
sion. 1t was a wearisome march in
the cold and storm, but everyone was
too thankful to complain. Mrs. Van
Brunt-dear soul!-was looking for
us. The logs were blazing in the big
fireplace and there was an abundant
and excellent supper ready. Alabama
was given the seat of honor. There
was prayer-meeting worthy of the
name at Deacon Van Brunt's before
the dawn of another day. As for the
heaters, they were sent for and put in
before we had another service in the
old church."
There was the sound of sleigh bells
outside and presently in came Judge
Howell.

One useful element of literary
style is suggestion. The author does
not tell a laborious story. He pre-
sents picture in as few words as pos
sible, allowing the reader to fill in
the details for himself. This was the
unconscious method of little Marga-
ret, who had had a present of some
sugared almonds, and was laboring
under an impulse of generosity.
"Aunty," said she, don't you want
some of my almonds?"
THANK you, DEAR" was the prompt
reply, 4 will take one or two.
Sugared almonds are favorites of

"Well, which is The most favorites.

the Young Lady.

"At least, Miss Ticklowell," said the
young man, pale but firm, and standing be-
fore her with folded arms, Il am entitled

replied, facing him with equal frmness,
says the Chicago Tribune, you would ask
me to marry you"
THAT is not an explanation. Leaving
out of the question the fact that you have
accepted my attentions for a period Of a
year or more, which | might plead as ample
justification for my presumption, if you so

THE NICKEL HABIT.
When Acquired by Woman 1t Is Apt
to Lead Her Into ExtraV-
aGance.

''Sow habit and you reap a char
acter." Get nickel telephone and you
acquire the nickel habit The nickel
habit consists in never parting from a
five cent piece if you can help it, and
planning every thinkable slbterfuge
to come into possession of the precious
bits, says the Chicago Tribune.
Women are more addicted to the
habit than men. That's because their
pocket space is so limited that they
can lay in only limited supply at
time, and so must needs be at it per-
sistently. You can tell the woman
who has this trouble by watching her
in a street car. She never gives the
conductor a nickel. She will, if she
can, present him with a dime. She is
then sure of one five cents at least.
If she hasn't a dime she will produce
a quarter. This is greater risk for
possibly greater gains. In the shuttle
she may draw four nickels, which sets
her up for some time to come. The
alternative is, of course. two dimes,
which mean only one nickel, even af-
ter changing for carfare. Fifty cent
pieces and dollars are a lottery the
nickel woman may or may not get
what she wants.
The nickel habit leads to extrava-
gance. The addicted one will spend
any amount in order to save her nickel.
She gladly gives ten pennies to pay
something which one five cent piece
would have comprised. It leads to
deceit, too. for the possessor of a
nickel will cheerfully deny possession
of it rather than let anyone borrow
the coin TO use for the telephoning
or other purposes. Lastly, it leads to
Gvarice, for the nickel woman argues
with herself for many minutes before
depositing this. hard earned coin in the
NAV of the five cent telephone.
Whether any new Kelley will under
take to study out a cure for this bad
habit is yet to be seen. The telephone
company suggests one by asking the
nickel subscriber to pay hundred a
year and do away with the nickel box,
but that is found to be stern remedy,
after one has suffered from a stern
case of nickelism. Certainly. for the
sake of home life in America some
philanthropist ought to see what can
be done to save this rapid degenera-
ton and the sad refrain so often heard
in afflicted families, HAS anyone got
a nickel?"
And the other mournful command
sounding over the wires like the ire
sistible voice of fate, Nickel. please"

we found out that Aunt Debby was in
straitened circumstances. She did
not tell us, however, and we did not let
her know that we knew. But half
dozen of us planneda surprise for her.
We invited ourselves to a Christmas
eve supper at Aunt Debby's. 1t was
bitterly cold evening when we dropped
in about half-past five, informing her
laughingly that we had come to take
tea with her. She had always been so
hospitable that it was pitiful to see the
dear old face suddenly pale. OF course
we knew the reason-a scarcity of
provisions. Doubtless there was
enough on hand to satisfy the hunger
of herself and Sukey, but what could
she do to satisfy the healthy appetites
of six young girls? But we chased the
pallor from Aunt Debby's face by
hastily telling her that, it being a
surprise, we had brought our supper
along. How pleased she was then.
And how delightedIy she watched us
as we arranged the table! Such a
supper! We had brought coffee, sugar
and cream, and Sukey made the coffee
and waited on the table. We had cold
sliced chicken and tongue, bread and
butter, biscuits, jelly, fruit and sponge
cakes. And when we were through
eating there was more food in the
basket than we had eaten. We told
Sukey to take care of it and her face
was aglow when she put the good
things away. When the supper was
cleared away. Aunt Debby told us
stories of auld-lang-syne. There was
a bright fire in an old open Franklin
stove, Aunt Debby looked at the glow
and felt the warmth.
1--WE didn't have such nice warm
room as this when l was a girl" she
said. Folks hadn't even heard of
stoves where we lived"
"Oh. Aunt Debby!"
You needn't say, oh, Aunt Debby!'
Mollie Gray" the old lady continued,
smiling on us, for it's the truth. We
had big freplaceS then, that would
hold great logs. Over those blazing
logs we cooked our meals, boiling,
stewing and roasting. We used TO bake
apples over the fire, stringing them
on wires. AS for potatoes we baked
them in hot ashes"
"Oh, my, that must have been lovely"
cried Isabel Howell. Il wish we had
such big fireplaces now"
''Wel, they were nice" said Aunt
Debby, ''but they had their disadvan-
tages. You see great deal of the
heat from the open fire went up the
chimney. When we were scorehing
our faces to get our feet warm, our
backs would feel-sometimes-as if
some one was rolling snow down then
And if we were warming our backs our
noses and our feet would be cold"
''How did you bake your bread with
out a stove?" asked Edith Brown.
SIN the oven. to be sure"
"What oven?" questioned Edith.
