The Science of Colds.

Almost everybody one meets is af-
flcted with that trivial but annoying
ailment, "cold." This is one of the
minor troubles of life, but it is sin
gularly perverse affection all the same,
and one decidedly obstinate as regards
its tendencies toward cure. Doctors
now agree that the cold in the head or
"coryza" is an infectious trouble, and
therefore to be regarded as another
triumph for the ubiquitous microbe.
The spread Of cold through house
hold may thus accounted for on the
scientific principle of ordinary infec-
tion. The means of cure are many.
One English specialist recommends
taking an opiate to start with, in the
shape of Is or 20 drops of chlorodyne
in water, repeating the dose in, say,
four hours. He also prescrbes a
Dover's powder at bedtime (say ten
grans) and hot drink, by way of en-
couraging skin action, provided risk of
cold and chill is avoided.

Popular Favorite.

Mrs. A. b. Cummins, wife of the new
governor of Iowa, is leader in So
cial and club circles in Des Moines.
She is woman of ability and charm
ing personality and the late Senator
Gear used to characterize her as his
most formidable opponent in the sem
atorial contest between himself and
Mr.. Cummins. Her maiden name was
Ida /. Gallery, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Gallery, of Eaton Rapids,
Mich. She was educated in the schools
of Eaton Rapids and was married to
Mr.. Cummins at that place in 1874.
At that time Mr.. CummIns was a law

One day stout person penetrated

The young lady, a visitor in the

ed her views, which were definite, as
to choice among the prevailing fash

So Eliza tried the other side, too,
but not finding it to her liking, re-
turned to Mlltown and reappeared
at the washtub with as little in the
way of travellers tales as anyone
who ever left her native land.

ART OF CONVERSATION.
Ability to Direct Talk In the Right
Direction Is More Important
Than Flow of Words.

If you would win laurels as a bright
conversationalist, first impress your
mind with the fact that it is not flow
of words that you need, but ability
| to direct conversation.
You must practice the part of stat
ing thought, keeping the talk gen
eral, or making the guest of honor the
apparent leader.
You must draw out the timid, avoid
dangerous channels and make every
man and woman about you appear at
his or her best, while your own eff
! forts are confined to an occasional
word to fill gap.
When you are trying to make com
pany a conversational success always
avoid rafting liveliness on your own
! part.
Don't imagine that to be a clever
woman you must be wit.
If you are naturally witty, well and
good; it will crop out occasionally.
But if your wit is forced, it will de-
generate into mere affectation, and af-
/ fectation is fatal.
Your main object is to make your
/ Stll interesting "ItllOub ptlIlS ODll
sive--to keep yourself in the back
ground while you direct the general
conversation.
1t is a wonderfully interesting ac-
complishment.
You learn to note the slightest
change in facial expression. The quiv-
er of an eyelid or the movement of
a lip tells you a story. You see pleas
ure, anger, interest or dislike, where
another detects no thought.
Your own mind acts more quickly
as you appreciate the unspoken
thoughts of others. You have the
pleasure of feeling that your acquire
ment is not wholly selfish, for it gives
you the power to understand the re-
served and to put the shy at their
ease.
Above all, don't talk too much. No
matter how interesting your stories
may be, they are not as rule so in
teresting to another person as the
stories he wants TO tell. The skillful
taIker, like the really skillful diplo-
mat, uses few words and makes them
count.-N. Y. World.

which surrounded the

circumstances which surrounded the
incident.
"She was walking out st. Charles
avenue. About a block away she saw
a dog rushing toward her, and a few
feet behind the dog was a man. He
had his right hand showed in under
his coat and seemed to be pursuing
the dog for the purpose of killing
it. The lady thought the dog was
mad. 1t was a mean-loolling animal,
and, from the way she looked at
things generally, the man was not
at all good looking. She did not
know what to do. Finally she con.
cluded that she would rush into one
of the houses. She picked out the
largest place. She rushed upon the
gallery and jerked the bell sharply,
A lady came to the door. You will

after him with pistol-such a hor
rible, desperate looking man! He
has a pistol under his coat and she
was gasping for breath all the while,
The lady of the house looked at heI
curiously after she had seen the dog
and the man. That dog is not mad
she said with a toss of her head.
That dog is simply sick. The man
has no pistol. That's bottle of milk
he has under his coat, and he's my
husband. and that's our dog, and he's
one of the greatest and best dogs in

"But the frightened lady broke
into the conversation and there were
a few disdainful exchanges, but
couched politely enough, and the lit
tie woman who had sought refuge
in the house bowed out into the
street and started toward her home"

spAEN eABY WRITES A LETTER.

Nhen baby writes letter to her Daddy far
away,
The occasion's most important, for she has
so much to say.
She sits up to the table, as grown-up folks
all do
And then a pile of paper all around her we
must strew.
With Grandma's golden spectacles safe
perched upon her nose
Eshe dips her pen into the ink, then straight
to work she goes,
And the onslaught fierce that follows would
fill you with dismay-
When baby writes a letter to her DADDY
far away.
~4Baby sends her love to Daddy, and hopes
that he Is WE'LL
Is the sentence Baby first indites-her
methods | must tell
E'or the sweet and simple message that
expresses Baby's love
Is a DOT and dash and big ink-splash below
and just above.
She perforates the paper with many tiny
pricks,
And plays a tattoo on her chair with sun
dry little kicks,
And all the floor is scattered DER with frag-
ments of the fray
To tell us Babys writing to her Daddy FAR
away.
The letter is long one, for scores of sheets
are used,
And every one bears witness to the way
it's been abused.

ignores the lines,
While each one as it's written to oblivion

GOOD HOUSEKEEPERS.
After All Is Said and Done, They Are
the Only Girls Who Can Make
Happy Home.

To fit herself for married life, every
girl should learn to fulfill the duties of
a good housekeeper. No matter how
old she may be, if she is not capable
of managing a house in every depart
ment of it, she is not old enough to
marry. When she promises to take
the position of wife and home-maker,
the man who holds her promise has
every right to suppose that she is com'
petent to fulfill it. If she proves to be
incompetent or unwilling, he has good
reason to consider that he has made
an unwise contract.
No matter how plain the home may
be. if it is in accordance with the hus
bands means, and he finds it neatly
kept. and the meals (no matter how
simp!e) served from shining dishes and
clean table linen, that husband will
leave his home, morning after morn,
ing. with loving words and thoughts,
and look ahead with eagerness to the
time when he can return.
Let a young woman play the pianr
and acquire every accomplishme1
within her power-the more the bette
for every one will be that much mo
power to be used in making a ha1
home. At the same time if she car
90 to the kitchen if necessary
cheerfully prepare an appetizing
and serve it neatly after it is prep;
she had better defer her marriaG
til she learns.
If girls would thoroughly fit
selves for the position of intel
hotsekeepers before they marry,
would be fewer discontented, unha
wives, and more happy homes.-N.

The hunter in pursuit of big game
must be prepared for the unexpected.
Mr.. Horace A. Vachell, in Life and
Sport on the Pacific Slope" relates the
experience of friend of his, a man
for whose veracity he vouches. My
friend was after bear, and was accom-
panied by an Indian guide whom he
always took with him on such trips.
One morning they sighted a large
wapiti, which they wounded.
The Indian took the trail; but the
hunter, knowing the habits of wound
ed deer, took a short cut across some
hills, hoping to get another shot at
the wapiti as it crossed a certain di-
vide. He reached the divide and
climbed a tree for a wider outlook.
Presently the wapiti came slowly up
the steep slope; the Indian followed,
knife in hand; and then, behind the
Indian, not 40 yards intervening, wad
died a huge bear. So intent was the
Indian upon his quarry that he was
unaware that he, in his turn, was be-
ing tracked, till a bullet whistled past
his head from the hunters rife and
laid the bear low. That was a sur
prised Indiani

TadpoIes mt Wholesale.

A resident of this city is the own
er of a fine aquarium, and recent
lv commissioned a street urchin to
procure for him some tadpoles from
suburban ponds, promising to pay ten
cents for a canful of the wrigglers.
The boy was not of a selfish nature;
on the contrary, he tod all his ac-
quaintances for blocks around of this
new source of revenue, and there was
a veritable exodus 20 the tadpole re-
gions. When the gentleman reached
HON in the evening, he was met by his
wife with a reproachful countenance.
Almost Immediately he detected the
sound of shrill juvenile voices pitched
high in dispute. Lined up at the back
door he found the original "contrac-
tor" reinforced by a score or more of
his comrades, each bearing in his
hand an old tomato can filled with tad
poles. The aquarium owner, being
possessed of a sense of humor, took in
the situation at a glance, and good
naturedly decided to receive the entire
catch, giving to each boy dime. When
all had obtained their stipend, the
boys gave one mighty cheer and scat
tered in all rections.-Baltimor
