Cold ana Colds.

a few simple precautions will
do much to prevent both colds and
the sensation of being cold. All
colds are a form of congestion.
The blood is driven away from Il
chilled surface of the body and
congests in weak spot. Sneez
ing, coughing, chill and other
signs of congestion give warning
when too late.
Wild animals do not take cold.
If the same animals were part Of
the time confined in a warm room
and then exposed to cold blasts of
air they would soon die. Men
constantly expose themselves to
changes in temperature and hn-
midity that no other animals could
stand.
The easy remedy is to prevent
the changes from affecting the cir
culation and bodily temperature.
A mans body is Il furnace. Cloth
ing does not warm him, but only
checks the radiation of bodily heat.
The warmth comes from the burn
ing of the oxygen of the air in his
lungs. Exercise warns the man
because his lungs burn up more
oxygen. The oxygen in combina-
ton with the assimilated food,
burns freely. 1t is as much fuel
as coal or wood.
The process that goes on in the
lungs is similar to that in a stove
the more draught the hotter the
hotter the fire. Give your lungs
more draught and you will feel
warmer Immediately. Ten long
deep breaths on coming out of the
house in the morning will make
the outdoor temperature seem
twenty degrees warmer. Long
deep breaths every time you &C
ont from a warm room to the oper
air will send the blood tingling tc
the surface of the skin, and the
colder the air the more exhilarat-
ing the sensation. Try it.
| Nature has put in every mans
chest furnace that beats steam
heat.

The Value uf One Acre.

1t may be unusual to estimate
the amount Of pork that can be
produced from an acre of certain
crops, but the Lexington IntelIi-
gcncer has solved the problem in
very interesting way. 1t is
claimed that an acre of land in
clover will produce 500 pounds of
pork; peas, 375 pounds; corn, $50
pounds; oats, 800 pounds; barley,
400 pounds, and wheat 22O pounds.
The value of each crop on one acre
when converted into pork is as
follows: Clover, s32; corn, S22.4O;
peas, S15; barley, $3.50; oats,
1890, and wheat -, estimating
the pork ct 4 cents per pound. OF
course something depends on the
prices ruling for the crops. The
amount of produce per acre re-
quired to give the pork mentioned
on an acre is 900 pounds of wheat,
1880 pounds of barley, 1890
pounds of oats.

News that is Skipped.

The New York Herald has an
editorial resume of interesting
events recorded in its columns of
the day before which it assumes
escaped the attention of most of
its readols. No doubt the assumd-
ton is correct, and it would prob
ably apply to the readers of most
of the newspapers. 1t is the habit
OF Il great many people to read the
news columns by the headlines. In
fact a great many books are now
read only by taking in their titles,
the headlines of their chapters and
perhaps some of the published re-
views of them. Many people
think they are too busy to read
anything carefully. They thus
lose a good deal Of informatio on as
well as instruction that would dc
them good.-Boston Herald.

is the inherent instinct of capita
! to protect itself at the cost Of hn-
man suffering. and it does seem
strange that with all The inventive
genius displayed by modern man
in lessening the arduousEess of the
toll by which he must win his sub
sistence, he has never been able to
invent better system under which
to carry on production than the
one which almost inevitably brings
him hardship and privation after
finding the means of easing his la

overproduction. The problem ap.
pears easy Of solution, yet so diff
cult, apparently, in the application
of the solving e!ement-the relega-
ton Of capital to the subordinate
position in the system of carrying
production and distribution. it is
certainly ridiculous to argue that
there is an overproduction Of the
common nccessaries of life when
thousands of men, women and
children are suffering in des,itu-
ton; and to relieve this distress by
what is called the charity of capi-
tai is still more ridiculous. The
people are needy, they ure willing
and have the means at hand to sat
isfy all their wants; but there
stands capital in the way with the
club called overproduction to drive
tho eager toilers back.

The Grocery Paper.

The grocer subscribes to the
home paper. He subscribes not
because he cares anything about
the news himself, but because the
loafers must be entertained. AS
soon as the paper is issued, the
dead beats. the town illers and oc-
casionally Il capitalist, drop in,
surreptitiously y to try silver of
of the si|very Goldfish, TO be soci-
able with the grocer-and to read
the local newspaper. They watch
each other like hawks, and when
Bill Smathers gets through spong-
ing the current events, Hank
Stephens grabs the paper and
squats behind the vinegar barrel to
peruse the sheet from the north
east corner to the southeast COR
ner.
While Hank reads the others
sigh, and forage olives from the
cracker box and smoking tobacco
from the ''poor box"
After while Hank emerges
from behind the barrel with the
paper.
William Winters bustles up, with
face full Of crackers, an olive pit
in his left hand, and requests the
possession of the circulating IL
brary.
''Lemme havo 'er about a min
ute, Hank. l don't spose there's
nothin' in it, but it won't take long
t read it, then! Will it2 Ha, ha." "
Henry hands him the paper and
William goes back of the stove
and sitting on a soap box, takes
his turn at the news.
| One by one they read the news
paper, and along about sundown
someone comes in and, getting the
drop on the other belated sponger,
sticks the paper in his pistol pock'
ct and escapes.

In the city of St. Louis the

tol toting habit has lately come up
for discussion through severe
arraignment If the practice from
the bench by Judge Ferriss. VIM.
G. Frey, retiring president of the
board of police commissioners, has
followed with the statement that
the practice could be broken up
practically in twenty-four hours
if the law against carrying deadly
weapons were property enforced.
Now whose business is it to see
that this law is cnforced2 In St.
Louis the state board of police
commissioner has supreme auth
ority over the city's police, and it
is only through the active cooper.
alton of the latter that the pistol
tosars could possibly be brought
under the laws operation. What
was Mr.. Frey doing in regard to
this question while he WAS at the
head of the police board? Moth
ing; he waited till he stepped down
from his official position before he
made a recommendation for the
suppression of this evil. Whose
business is it anyway to bring the
pistol toter into court and when
shall it be donea In the cities they
take no action against these Of
tenders until the pistol has been
drawn and fired, and human be-
ing either killed or wounded; in
the counties il is the same. How
far does the law on this point
go, does it give the policeman OF
the sheriff authority to search any
man suspected of having deadly
weapon upon his persona So far
As we have been able to observe
the law always waits to act in
these cases until either the crime
of murder Or deadly assault has
been committed or some private
citizen takes it upon himself to file
information against the pistol tot
er. In the latter case it is, then,
not the authorities who take the
initial action to bring the carrier
of deadly weapons into court, bu
the individual citizen. The pisto
toter is generally known wherever
he abides. He is usually of ''bae
man" reputation, so the private
citizen hesitates before he under
takes to volunteer the information
to put the authorities and the Iav
in action. There is no doubt what
ever that the pistol carrying habi
is responsible for large percent
age of the murders committed, an
anyone suspected of having dan
1 gerous weapon concealed upon BIZ
person should he submitted t
search by the police or the sheriff
. If the law is deficient on this poin
J it should be made sufficient by tn
legislature now in session.
