"Stuhng n COIu.-

The man who originated the oft
quoted maxim. "Stuff cold and starve
fever" either did not understand
what he was writing about or he has
been widely misunderstood to the
great injury of multitudes who have
acted upon the absurd maxim.
Presenting that the author of it was
physician who knew something of
the nature Of colds and the action of
remedies, he must have spoken SUBJ
junctively and not imperatlveIy, and
then 1t would read thus: "If you stuff
a cold, the consequence will be that
you will be thrown into a fever as a
result OF the stutfug treatment Of the
cold. and then you will have to starve
the fever
This Is true and sensible interpreta-
ton of this commonly received maxim,
which has done as much harm as any
of the thousand and one popular er-
rors which prevail on medical subjects.
Without dwelling on the nature or
causes Of colds or on what physicians
call the pathology of these disorders,
we will say that low or even starva-
ton diet for Il few days. with the free
drinking of warm. mildly stimulating
teas, is better for a cold than any drug
or combination of drugs -London Fam

A Couple of JOkers.

Judge Joseph Aspinall's reputation
as humorist on the bench is proven
bal, but when off the bench he rarely
jokes. Hence it was that Assistant
District Attorney Martin W. Littleton,
the after dinner spellbinder. was taken
by surprise when the judge calmly in
quired:
Martin, you are interested in ath-
letics. Tell me the name of the cham
pion shot putter."
I'll have to pass that. judge"
"Well. then, what's the matter with
cannon%'
Mr.. Littleton reeled from the impact.

The Ring of Cheops.

Cheops was the builder of the pyra-
mid which bears his name, and. as if
to make the structure perpetuate his
deeds for all time to come. the very
stones and bricks of which it is COM
posed are stamped with his name.
Cheops lived nearly $500 years ago, his
great pyramid being an antiquity in
the days when the great nations of old
were in their youth, and vet we of this
twentieth century can have the salts
faction Of looking upon the very ring
he wore so proudly upon his finger!
The hieroglyphics on the ring are mi
nutely accurate and beautifully execut-
ed, the ring itself being of finest gold
and weighing nearly an ounce. The
oval signet bears the name of Cheops.
which is in hieroglyphics in perfect ac-
cord with the stamp on the bricks or
the great pyramid. This remarkable
antiquity was found in Il tomb at Chi
Zeh. 1t now reposes in the museum of
the New York Historical society.

A Joke on Roosevelt,

When Theodore Roosevelt WAS govern
or OF New York, enc Of his customs was
to assemble the heads Of state depart
ments In the executive chamber once
week In a sort of q cabinet meeting for
the purpose of discussing state depart
ment matters. At several of these meet
ings the civil service law came up for dis
cussion, and on all such occasions the
jokers would have not a little fun With
the governor because Of his views grow
ing out of his previous connection with
the national civil service commission.
One Of the governors last cabinet meet
ings was like Hamlet" without Hamlet.

It would be easy to explain Haw'
thorne's peculiar temperament after
the modern fashion by reference tc
heredity and environment No doubt
there WAS q strain of eccentricity In
the family. He himself tells Of a cou-
sin who made a spittoon out Of the
skull Of his enemy, and 1t Is natural
that a descendant of the old Puritan
witch judge should portray the weird
and grotesque aspects Of life. Proba.
bly,, too, his native tendency was in.
creased by the circumstances that sur.
rounded his youth. the seclusion Of his
mothers life, his boyhood on Lake Sc
bago, where, as he says. he first got his
"cursed habit of solitude" and the
long years during which he lived as a
hermit In Salem.
But after all these external matters
and even the effect Of heredity, so far
as we can fathom 1t, explain little OF
nothing. A thousand other men might
have written his books II their source
lay In such antecedents. Behind 1t all
was the demonie force Of the man him.
