FrankIin on Catching Cold.

IL Is well known, says the New York
Evening Post, that Franklin made "a
particular study Of colds aud had his
own theory about them. which we be-
lievc liz pretty much the theory Of to-
day. one Of his assertions was that
catching cold does not come from mere
sold, but from unequal temperature
over the body aud from undistrbutcd
moisture. To prove this he made a
number Of observations on occasions
when he did and did not suffer. A few
Of these follow:
BY putting Oh damp shirt on dry
bOdy-yes.
BY putting on dry shirt OH IA wet
body. though this vets the body ten
times mOre-no.
BY sitting In n room where the floor
has been newly washcd-yes.
BY going into II river and staying
there an hour (no sheets SO wcO--no.
BY wetting the feet only-ycs.
BY wetting all the clothes through
the body and wearing them IA whole
day-no.
BY sitting In u room against crcyicc
yes.
by sitting as long IN the open air

JRmnesI Fingers.

Few people have escaped Jnmmed
fingers and as the pain caused when
the finger is jammcd In door Is eX
cruciating in the extreme for the first
few minutes II is well 10 know Of some
means of relief. The finger should be
plunged into water rs hot as can pos
sibly be borne. This application of
hot water causes the unil TO expand
and soften, and the blood pouring out
beneath II has more room tn flow. Thus
the pain Is lessened The finger should
then be wrapped In bread and water
poulticc. A jammed finger should new
CT be neglected, us II may lead TO NOR
tincation Of the bone If II has been
hndly crushed, and amputation Of the
finger must follow. Jummed toes arc
usually caused through the falling of
heavy weights and should be treated
III the same way IA jammed finger.

The Times Dispatch Is distressed to
hear OF the deyth OF Mr., Charles NJ IIaw-
ktns. editor OF the Danvllle Register, lie
was one OF the most conscientious editors
In the State, and his writings were force
full, entertaining and Instructive. The
tone of his articles showed that he was
early conseclNted to his work, that no
wrote from tho heart, as a man convinced
of HIS cnnse lIa WAS always n.ndy to
declare and maintain his opinion; he, did
not shlrk spirited discussion. yet he WAS
always fair and courteous, and iii spite
OF Disbursement. debate with him was
always ugreeabla and profitable. Ills
death is truly a loss to Virginia Journals
ism. and The Tins Dispatch Is proud
to pay tribute to his memory.
