"sTUFFING A COLD. ,,

The man who originated the oft
quoted maxim, "Stuff a cold and
ssarve fever" either did not un-
derstand what he was talking about,
or he has been widely misunder-
stood, to the great injury of multi.
tudes who have acted upon this alb
surd maxim. 1t should read thus.
off you stuff a cold the consequence
will be that you will be thrown into
a fever as result of the stuffins
treatment of the cold. and then you
will have to starve the fever" This
is true and sensible Interpretation
OF this commonly received maxim,
which has done as much harm as
any of the thousand and one popu-
lar errors which prevail on medical
subjects.
Without dwelling on the nature
or causes of colds or on what physi-
clans call the pathology of these DIS
orders, we will say that low or even
starvation diet for few days, with
the free drinking of warm, mildly
stimulating teas, is better for cold
than any drug or combination Of
drugs.

shock that twisted the iuggler's

wrapped In string to keep it from

itself over the handle and tines of
the fork and almost against the
mans face. 1t was Bedini's third
trial. He had bet that he could
catch the turnip In six. The first
one fell into the crowd and the Jug

second was little better, but after a

GEORGE GREEN. KNOWN AS MAR
RIED MAN, PROVES A WOMAN.

Petersburg is under intense ex-
citement. Death revealed that George
Green, we'll l.known citizen as a
man, is a woman. The deceased, who
was ~ years old, for forty-one years
had been known to the world as the
husband of Mary Green, had mixed
with men, consumed a mans daily
ration of tobacco, worn boots, trou-
sers, suspenders, coats and waist
coats, was female.
When Green's death became known
the sympathy of the town was
aroused and men, out of pity for
humanity, offered their assistance to
the widow. Three gentlemen went
in to prepare the body for burial.
When the apparel had been removed
and the identity of the form became
apparent to these gentlemen they
stood speechless, gazing at each
other. 1t seemed moments before a
word was spoken aud one of the
number, almost overcome by sur
prise, declared in an audible whis-
per, "He is woman"
From the innocent expressions of
the faces Of the little family it is
evident that they have been ignorant
OF the fact whom they called uncle
was indeed woman. The wife is
almost overcome with grief. No
sorrow more profound or deeper was
ever seen. As soon as the body had
been prepared Mrs. Green, the wife,
was interviewed. "Did you know
your husband was woman before
you married him?" she was asked.
NO." she replied as firmly as her
grief would permit her to emphasize
her words.
linen she was asked 1t any one
save herself knew that Green was a
woman. She said that no person on
earth save herself knew it; that it
was secret known to them alone,
and she had kept it carefully guard
ed from the world--mother, father,
sister. all-and that the family then
in the house knew it not.
All sorts of rumors are afioat and
the intensest curiosity prevails in
regard to the case. 1t is believed by
some that Mrs. Green will now prove
to be man, and that they swapped
identity for some purpose known
only to themselves.

a LILIPUTIAN WEDDING.

The elite of Kilmarnock turned
out en- masse Saturday week to
grace with their presence the occa-
sion of a Liliputian Wedding at the
home of Mrs. w. L. White. The

Miss Emma Eubank and Miss Enid
Eubank, Miss Mabel Gordon and
Miss Bessie Claybrook, and last, but
by no means least, came the bride,
attended by Miss Kathleen White,
while the groom came in with Miss
Olive Simmonds. Just preceding
him came the dearest, cutest little
flower aud ring girls, three in num-
Der, represented by three of the
tiniest little tots, Leila Claybrook,
Gladys Eubank and Linda Flowers.
The wedding march was rendered by
Miss Christobel Yerby. The impro-
vised chapel was beautifully banked
with ferns and evergreens. After
congratulations all repaired to the
lunch room, where tempting lunch
was served.
All present concurred in saying
that never did bridesmaids look pref
tier or bride more charming. All
childish participants declared it the
event of their lives, never to be
forgotten, and even the big folks
agreed in saying it was the most
beautiful and unique scene they had
ever witnessed.

"CoNsIDER THE LILIES.

We carry our beautifullilies,
Our roses and hyacinths sweet.
To strew In the path of our Saviour
And carpet the way for His feet.
They stand at the side of the altar,
Like candles to light up room,
For the Lord of the flowers is coming
Aud He will be pleased with thei
bloom.
He once said, "Consider the lilies,"
And bade us be fearless as they
Or the steslthy, fierce step of the stran
ger,
or the peril that prowled in the way
As the lily waves perfume before her,
So sweet be our hearts at His touch,
Let as give Him our all for His service
He'll bless it, or little. or much.
So stainless the flowers of Easter,
All woven In looms OF the light
So radiant the thoughts we would bring
Him.
SO pure would we stand in His sight
oh. lift long chorus to praise Him,
Our King who is mighty to save,
Who has ransomed from death and de-
struction,
And broken the power of the grave.
To the church with our snowy sweet
blossoms,
To the bed of the sick and the sad;
To the last resting place of our darlings,
These flowers that always are glad;
For they lift in their silence and sweet
ness
A song without jar in its chord,
And every rich note of their music
Is praise, Easter Morn, to the Lord.
