Group, capillary bronchitis, and ar
ticular rheumatism are the special
banes of childhood. These all alike re-
suit from catching cold.
One child catches cold and scares its
mother into Mysteries by having Group
in the dead of night.
Another child catches cold, develops
a stubborn cough that will not yield to
ordinary remedies. The parents are
filled with forbodings.
Still another child catches cold and
develops that most fatal malady Of chill
dren, capillary bronchitis. The doctor
is called, pronounces the case pneu-
monia, and if the child is lucky enough
to live it has developed weak lungs
from which it may never recover.
And yet another child catches cold
and articular rheumatism is the result.

S.. tallatlve Resources,

marked a retired army officer the
other evening, as q group of ''old
comrades" were slipping their coffee
as well as something else, that no
one during the civil war whoShad oc-

Grant ever saw him laugh heartily.
I know, however, that he always en-
joyed good story, and smiled grim

But il Grant didn't laugh much,
anyone who has an idea that he had
no sense of humor is off his base Of
supplies. Could anything be funnier
than this? Some of you may have
heard Of it, but it was long time
after it occurred before I did, and
one day at West Point in June, 1868.
when Grant visited the academy for
a few days-I suppose to see how
Fred was getting on as 4 cadet AS
we'll as things generally asked him
il it was straight. That's the first
time I think saw Grant look us if
he was about to enjoy big, hearty
laugh. But he didn't. He smiled
broadly, however, and merely said
quietly: 1T was the right way to
get even, wasn't it?'
'This was the way the general got

Knocked from the outside, but the
prayers went on until the very stencil
of the awful prison was turned into
incense, floating away to Heaven,
which seemed to deny their appeal.
On a beautiful June morning, while
the boys were forming for prayer, a
great stalwart skeleton of a prisoner
mounted platform in front of the
brigade, and shouted out at the top
of his shattered voice: "There is no
God!" The men stared, speeches.,
at the speaker, who repeated the ter
rible sentence, which was drowned
amid volley of prayer and song.
Over there, ON the highest ground in
the prison, at this moment burst
forth from the parched earth a
stream of sparkling water, which
was named providence Spring." and
to this day its waters continue to
flow, and seem to Nay to the trav-
eler as it did to the poor prisoners:

NEW METHOD OF PAROL1NG.
How n Southern General Treated
Some Recreant Federals Who
Sought to Mislead Him.

When the southern general, Jen-
kins, was in Hagerstown, Nd, in 1863,
lieutenant and five men, wearing
the uniform of union soldiers, crept
out of some of the houses of the
town where they had been hiding,
and delivered themselves up. When
they made their appearance before
Gen. jenkins the following CONVERSE
ton occurred, relates the American
Tribune:
Jenkins-Hello! who are you, and
where did you come from?
Lieutenant-We belong to the
union army, or did belong to it, but
we didn't wish to fight any longer
against our southern brethren! So
when our forces left here we stayed
behind, and to-day we came OUT to
be paroled.
''What did you say about southern
brethren?' If I thought I had a
twenty-fifth cousin who was as white
livered as you are, would kill him
and set him up in my ba rnyard to
make sheep own their lambs. I'll
show you how parole such pukes as
you are. You are too miserable to
be paroled in military style.''
So saying, he ordered a detail Of
six men and sergeant-"good lusty
fellows with thick boots''-who pa
rolled the recreant federals to the
west border of the town, where the
paroling process ceased, and the de-
tail and the crowd returned, highly

The Germ OF Laxfness.

If we go south from Virginia to
the gulf we meet two totally differ
ent kinds of anemia, which can be
distinguished by the soils on which
they occur, the parasites which cause
them, the symptoms which result and
the treatment which is necessary.
One of these anemias follows the
clay soils and is that of malaria,
which, as is well known, is caused by
a minute parasite that lives in the
blood and can be cAred by proper
use of quinine. The other anemia is
disease of sandy regions, and is
caused by a parasitic hookworm
which lives in the intestines. 1t is
not affected by quinine, but can be
killed by the use of thymol. The
new discovery, due to DR.. Stiles,

plans and subterfuges invented by
the boarders of both sexes to sit at

little colony Of toilers in the big
downtown Office buildings was Grace
Featherstone. There was an air of
superiority in every pose of Miss
Featherstone's tall slender figure
that spoke of family.
It was pretty well understood
among the boarders that the profess
sor looked with eyes of alteration
upon Miss Featherstone, although he
seldom found courage to address her
the simplest remark. For one who
was supposed to know all the shades
of English, from Chaucer down to
Sidney Lanier, he was surprisingly
diffident and retiring. He seldom adj
vanced an idea, and blushed like a
country schoolboy whenever one of
the young ladies spoke to him. This
shyness was the source of much
amusement to Maize, and she never
missed an opportunity to embarrass
him with a sudden question when he
seemed most preoccupied. Under one
pretext or another, she had changed
seats at the table until she had land

lay in wait like the mischievous mink

from his plate. If he did not give her
this opportunity, she would make one

which he must answer at once, or be
subject to numerous inquiries that
only increased the difficulties of the
situation. At such times Miss Feath-

A PRAYER BRIGADE.
Startling Incident of a PrOtracteL
Period of SuppLicatlo for Water
In Ande rsOnvdlle.

Among several thousand others
Dave Day was a prisoner at Ander-
xsonville, says the Denver News. Since
an occurrence which he relates in the
prison he has had great faith in the
power of prayer. The little sluggish
stream from which the prisoners
were supplied with water became I'M
fit for use in 1868, at the time Dave
fell into confederate hands, and they
were not allowed to get water from
outside. He says the suffering thou
sands organized what they called q
prayer brigade, consisting of about
500 men. Dave was member.
Among his comrades he was noted
more for his bravery than his piety,
and they argued that a good soldier
must of necessity be good Chris
tian away down in his breast, where
sits his "bosom's lord.' Dave was
elected as lieutenant of one of the
praying squads, who were on two
hours and off four, as in regular
picket detail. He says the boys went
to work with will and made bust
ness of<praying for water, never d.
verting either to the right or to the
left. They prayed from early morn
ing until their shadows heightened
out across the prayer ground to meet
those of the setting sun. The prayer
brigade was joined by volunteers,
until at length nearly every miser-
able prisoner in the cruel stockade
was down on his knees praying for
water.
For 20 days the work was kept up,
never y backslider showing up III the
force. 1t was water or. death, and
death seemed to look over and mock
the solemn scene. But still they
prayed. Some went crazy-stark,
raving mad-w1lile many died on
their Bonded knees! The dead-wagon
came in every morning and hauled
away the poor victims-dying for
want of water, and while praying for

change the topic. The grateful look
with which the professor was sure
to reward her kindness was so mixed
with admiration that the blush was
often transferred from his cheeks to
hers.
Then the entire coterie giggled and
were happy. Had the professor one
tenth of the reporters assurance, or
modicum of the egotism of the in
surance man, he would have brought
matters to climax by making
known his love. But whenever. he
found himself alone with Miss Feath-
erstone, as sometimes happened when
she was playing the piano in the par
Tor of an evening, and the other
boarders, tired of sitting on the stiff
chairs with no opportunity for con-
versation, had retired, he felt him
self growing hot and cold with appre-
hension. What if she should divine
his thoughts! He felt sure that there
would be an end even to the formal
acquaintance which now enabled him
at least to rest in the joy of her
protection from Mazie's teasing.
So he would sit in dark corner
of the room, listening to the music
and watching her white fingers flick
ering over the keys until she struck
the final chord and went away. All,
if he could only have known how
she longed for him to speak to her,
to come to her side and demand her
voice, her eyes, yes, even her lips!
But woman cannot tell a man some
things, especially when they are
boarders under the same roof and
she is looked up to as the paragon
of propriety.
But Cupid is not to have his plans
overthrown, even though his subjects
be naughty girl and very shy and
retiring student. And the Cupid that
presided over the destinies of the
