,OldS. Their PrODer Treatment and Cure.

Commonly, the first symptom OF "cold "
is "A chilly feeling, accompanied py sneez-
ING. or a tickling in the throat. The most
FREQUENT of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause-nanlely the stagna-
zion of the blood caused by constipation or
f,iliousness Almost the first symptom Is
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless constr
mated. or exhausted and having what we
call ual-nutrition which is attended with
;rrnoverished blood and exhaustion OF nerve
force. Toncs consisting of large portions
of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
fhev do not enter the system and are not
aheorbed into the blood, with the exception
3f the alcohol, which shrivels up the red
blood corpus9les when it does come IN

WHEN THE FUSE BLOWS,
No Occasion for Alarm-In Fact II
Proves Motors Safsty-The
Device Explained.

The blowing" of fuse in an elec-
passenger with alarm, simply indicates
that safety device has proved relia-
BILE and that danger of injury to the
motor has been averted by it, says the
New York Herald The current Which
will! flow through a motor when 1t is
standing still is in almost all cases far
in excess of that which the motor Is
designed to carry; and, indeed, in
we'll designed motor a current danger
Gus for the motor will be reached be-
fore the motor has been stalled. The
effect of this heavy current on the mo-
tor. IL allowed to continue, Is to heat
the windings to a dangerous degree
and destroy the insulation, possibly
setting it on fire; and 1t is to prevent
this occurrence, whether due to care
less handling of the car or to unex-
pected causes, that the fuses are used.
A fuse is simply a short piece Of wire
Of such size that it will be melted by
current which, If allowed to toW
through the motor for any time, will
damage 1t. The melting OF the fuse
opens the circuit and cuts OF the cur
rent from the motor. To protect the
car the fuse is $nclossd in areproof
box
When the fuse blows there is gen
erally a volatilization OF the metal OF
the fuse and a slight explosion. These
exn,osions usually cause report and
some smoke.

The earliest instance known OF penal
,u,ro smo1ing In the streets Is IL the
court books Of the mayor of Methwold in
england. There is the following en-
try on the record of the court held octo-
bar IA. 1895: I'VE agree that any person
that is taken smoaking tobacoa in the
.treet shall forftt one shillinge for every
time so taken, and it shall be lawful for
the netty constables to distraine for the
same, for to be put to the uses ABOVE
said. We present Nicholas Barber for
smoaking in the street, and doc amsrce
him one shillinge."

The animal par excellence, which
the hunter, the amateur Arctic trav-
eler and the young explorer hopes
and dreams of killing, is the polar
bear, writes Com. Robert f. Peary,
in Leslie's Monthly. The reason for
this Is the -,lagnificent trophy which
9he great white skin makes. This
feeling was no less strong centuries
ago than 1T is now, for we read that
one ~ the early Icelandic sea rovers
80 Greenland quarreled with and
killed his bosom companion because
he had slain large bear, instead Of
leaving that honor to his chief. With
the modern repeating rife the bear
stands no chance against the hunter,
no matter under what conditions they
NAV meet, and if he is hunted in the
native way, with the assistance of
dogs, there Is hardly more excite
rnent than in killing musk-o1en, ex-
caDt for the wild, helter-Skelter dash
over the ice to overtake the animal
after the dogs strike the hot scent.

WHY KOREA is IMPORTANT.
The Importance which Korea has had
In oriental disputes In recent years Is
GRIZZLY due to Its position. stratcglcal,
and not trade, reasons have made her
important. rho country is not en-
llghtcned to an extent to make It's trade
valuable. and her people have cvinccd
but slight desire TO leave OF the GUS
toms ana general habits OF living OF n
thousand years ngo According to ng-
5ures contained In d bulletin Just issued
by the Bureau OF Statistics Of the De-
1 partment Of Commerce and Labor, the
total commerce Of the country amounts
ito only about fifteen million dollars a
4 year The imports yearly amount to
ten millions in round numbers and the
exports TO five millions. An idea Of the
5remotcncss OF the interest which the
United States has in the country may
bc had from the fact that for tho en-
tire calendar year OF 1903 the exports Of
this country to Korea amounted to only
about 100000. But there is said to be
a great demand for American goods in
the country. which Is largely supplied
by Chinese and Japanese merchants, who
import them from this country direct.
The growth Of the direct American trade
with Korea has been remarkably rapid,
as witnessed by the fact that in 1897 At

Discomfort With Work.

That there is much discomfort with
work among the so called middle
classes in America is due in large part
TO the pampering of children. to the
supplying of their natural and artificial
wants and to the sentimental idea that
their day of toll will come soon
enough" In general. work is not n
curse, but blessing-a positive means
of grace. One can hardly begin too
early TO impress upon children lessons
of self help by tasks appropriate TO
their age and forces and to beget in
them scorn of idleness and of depend
cnce on others. To do this is TO make
them happy through the self respect
that comes with the realization of pow
or and thus to approximate Tennyson's
goal of man. Self reverence. self
knowledge. self control.
