THAT was a comparatively easy
matter, but 1t was a question whether
Mr.. Clay had the goat or the goat had
him. AS long as Mr.. Clay held on
he was safe enough, but he knew
enough about goats to know that the
moment he let go he would be butted.
There were various suggestions
made by the Congressman present, but
none of them seemed to suit the exig-
encies of the occasion. Finally Mr..
Clay appealed to the boys. One little
urchin stepped forward and said in a
sharp, shrill voice:

Experiments Show That Some Live
Longer at Freezing Point.
1t is popularity believed that cold
has the effect of destroying those
microbes and disease germs which
are the greatest enemies OF life and
health. This belief has lately been
demonstrated to be entirely mistaken.
AS a matter of fact, cold acts as a
preseryative of some disease germs.
II keeps them inactive for time, but
alive and ready for activity at some
future favorable opportunity. 1t saves
them from the natural death they
might die IL exposed to an ordinary
temperature.

English medical journal, calls atten-
ton to this fact, and many prominent
scientists are engaged in studying the
subject. AS a general rule marked

them, but, on the other hand, there
are many deadly microbes which con-
tinue to live at an extraordinarily low
temperature, such as that of liquid
air and other substances, which can
only be produced by chemical action.

fists prove that 1t is useless to seek

The cough and the sneeze and tho

hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most
common and dreadful of diseases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen.
orally begins. A person catches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold gem
orally starts in the head and throat Then
follows sensitiveness of the air passages
which incline one to catch cold very easily.
At last the person has cold all the while
