ssstumnE a Cold.0

The man who originated the oft
 quoted maxim, "Stuff cold and starve a 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.
 Presuming that the author of it was a physician who knew something of the nature of colds and the action of remedies, he must have spoken sub junctively and not imperatively, 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 stuffing 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- TOTS 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 few days, with the free drinking of warm, mildly stimulating teas, is better for cold than any drug or combination of drugs.-London Fam ily Doctor. .n5

The superior court was in session at Rockville on Tuesday. The case of Rob- ert B. Denny of Boston vs. J. M. Sheehan of Newburg, N. Y., was tried before Judge Case. Mir. Denny testified that in 1899 MT. Sheehan engaged him to sell or rent the factory of the Mineral Springs company of Stafford Springs. He had considerable correspondence with MT. Sheehan in regard to the matter, and then rented the mill to 8 man named Eaulk- ner, for which he claimed a commission of $827, which had never been paid. MT. Sheehan's defense was that he was acting for the Mineral Springs company, and that before the property was rented a mortgage was foreclosed and the property passed into the possession of the Middle River Manufacturing company. The court reserved it's decision. The divorce case of Mrs. Lillian B. Dumont of Hebron vs. Alfred J. Dumont of Columbia was next heard. There was no appearance on the part of the defendant. The plaintiff said they were married in 1895 and that her husband deserted her shortly after wards. The grounds were desertion and habitual intemperance. The decrse was granted. The court then adjourned for the June session.

wheat Doe. Not Grow wila.

The existence of names for wheat in the most ancient languages confirms the evidence of its great antiquity and of its cultivation in the more temperate parts of Europe, Asia and Africa. From the evidence adduced by botan- fists of high standing, 1t seems highly improbable that wheat has ever been found growing consistently in wild state, although it has often been as- serted by poets, travellers and histo- rians. ... In the odyssey" for example, we are told that wheat formerly grew in Sicily without the aid of man. Diodo- rus repeats the tradition that Osiris found wheat and barley growing pro- miscuously in Palestine, but neither this nor other reputed discoveries of wheat growing wild seem at all credible, seeing that it does not ap- pear to be endowed with the power of persistency, except under continued culture.
