CATCHING COLD.
Suggestions That May Keep One
From the Doctor.

Suggestions That May Keep One
From the Doctor.
A person in good health, with fair
play, easily resists cold, but when the
health flags a little and liberties are
taken with the stomach or with the
nervous system a chill is easily taken
and, according to the weak spot of the
individual, assumes the form of a cold
or pneumonia, or it may be jaundice.
OF all causes of cold probably fatigue
is one of the most efficient. A jaded
man coming home at night from a long
days work. a growing youth losing two
hours sleep over evening parties two
or three times week or a young lady
heavily doing the season." young chill
dren overfed and with short allowance
of sleep, are common instances of the
victims of cold
Luxury is favorable to chill taking.
Very hot rooms, feather beds, soft
chairs, create sensitiveness that leads
to catarrhs. 1t is not, after all, the cold
that is so much to be feared as the
antecedent conditions that give the at
tack a chance of doing harm. Some
of the worst colds happen to those who
do not leave their house or even their
beds, and those who are most invul-
nerable are often those who are most
exposed to changes of temperature and
who by good sleep, cold bathing and
regular habits preserve the tone of
their nervous system and circulation.
Probably many chills are contracted
at night or at the flag end of the day.
when tired people get the equilibrium
of their circulation disturbed by either
overheated sitting rooms or underheat-
ed bedrooms and beds. This is espe-
cially the case with elderly people. In
such cases the mischief is not always
done instantaneously or in a single
night. 1t often takes place insidiously.

VICTORIA FALLS.
Called "the Most Beautiful Gem OF
the Earth's Scenery"

The Zambezi river, carrying Il huge
volume of water two miles in width. as
it reaches the western borders of Rho
desia precipitates itself into Il cavern
Gus gorge and thus traverses the north
ern plains of the country.
This great drop in. the river has pro
duced ''the most beautiful gem of the
earth's scenery" the Victoria falls Al
most twice as broad as Niagara and
two and a half times as high an i'm
mense mass of water rolls over its edge
TO precipitate itself in magnificent
splendor 400 sheer feet into the narrow
canyon below.
Undeterred, the Rhodesian engineers,
without detracting from the natural
beauty of the surroundings, threw
across the canyon a splendid $50 foot
cantalever bridge and thus opened the
way to Tanganyika, to Uganda, to
Cairo.
This bridge, the greatest railway en-
gineering triumph of Africa, deserves
more than passing notice. 1t consists
of a central span weighing approx
mately 1000 tons, 500 feet in length
and 80 feet wide. The steel work is of
rolled steel weighing 400 pounds to the
cubic foot. The end posts of the bridge
are over 100 feet long. The pull on the
anchorage apparatus is about 400 tons.
The contract for the construction was
obtained by an English firm of bridge
builders-the contract time ffty-five
weeks. The work of erection was car
ried on from both banks, the material
being taken across the river by means
of an aerial electric railway. The cleo
trical conveyor of this cable way was
capable of dealing with a ten ton load
at lifting speed of twenty feet per
minute and a traversing speed of 800
feet a minute
An initial difficulty in the construc-
ton of the bridge was the securing
of firm foundation, and owing to the
crumbling nature of the bank much
greater quantity of concrete was neces-
sary than estimated.
The construction was happily unat-
tended by accidents of a serious nature,
though u few slight accidents to body
work and the replacing from England
of one piece of steel work were record
ed. In spite of these delays the bridge
was linked up at Z a. m. on April 1,
1905. or exactly forty-eight hours ear
lier than had been estimated n year be-

ASSUMING A VIRTUE.
What Can De Done by Right Think
ing and Self Control.

Zopyrus, the physiognomist, said,
Socrates features showed that he was
stupid. brutal, sensual and addicted to
drunkenness" Socrates upheld the
analysis by saying, by nature l am
addicted to all these sins, and they
were only restrained and vanquished
by the continual practice of virtue"
Emerson says in effect, ''The virtue
you would like to have, assume it as al
ready yours, appropriate it, enter into
the part and live the character just as
the great actor is absorbed in the char
acter of the part he plays" No mat
ter how great your weakness or how
much you may regret it, assume steadi-
ly and persistently it's opposite until
you acquire the habit of holding that
thought or of living the thing not in its
weakness. but in its Wilderness, in it's
entirety. Hold the ideal of an efficient
faculty or quality, not of a marred or
deficient one. The way to reach or to
attain to anything is to bend oneself
toward it with all ones might, and we
approximate it just in proportion to the
intensity and the persistency of our eff
fort to attain it.
If you are inclined to be very excit-
able and nervous, if your ''fiy all to
pieces" over the least annoyance, do not
waste your time regretting this weak
ness and telling everybody that you
cannot help it. Just assume the calm,
deliberate, quiet. balanced composure
which characterizes your ideal person
in that respect. Persuade yourself that
you are not nervous or excitable, that
you can control yourself, that you are
well balanced, that you 90 not fly off
on tangent at every little annoyance.
You will be amazed to see how the per-
petual holding of this serene, calm,
quiet attitude will help you to become
like your thought.-Success.

Fighting the Current.

Papua has swift streams well stock
ed with fish. An explorer tells of Pa
puan fresh water mullet which some
times weigh as much as fifteen pounds.
These fish are wonderfully provided
by nature with an appliance which
helps them to combat the extraordi-
nary currents. At one moment you
will see them being swept down resist
lessly. but suddenly they shoot off into
the quieter water and attach them
selves to the rocks by strong sucker
near the mouth. There they hang just
outside the current, their tails moving
gently with it, and when they have re-
covered their strength they make an
other dash through the swifter wa,
ters."

POTATO ROT.
It Destroys an Enormous Quantity of
PotatOes-Emcient Remedy.


By DIR. JAMES FLETCHER, Canada.
Potato rot destroys every year an
enormous proportion of the potato crop
of the whole world. The results of ex-
periments carried on from year to year
show that loss may be almost entirely
prevented by a cheap and easy remedy
which consists in spraying the tops of
the potatoes during growth, about the
1st of August in this district, op when
the potatoes are about foot high, with
the bordeaux mixture, composed of
copper sulphate with lime or soda to
neutraliZe it's injurious effects. This
prevents the propagation of the disease
and the consequent destruction of the
tubers almost entirely
Potato bugs can be killed at the
same time by mixing paris green with
the spray. The bordeaux mixture alone
is not sufficient to destroy the potato
bugs, but by adding paris green the
beetles are destroyed at the same time
that the potato rot is prevented.
Practically the same mixture would
do for fruit trees, but rather a larger
proportion of copper sulphate can be
used on the potato plant For use on
fruit trees, four pounds of sulphate of
copper, four of lime and four ounces
of poison; on potatoes, six pounds of
sulphate of copper, four of lime and
the same amount of poison and forty
gallons of water Potatoes will stand
a stronger mixture without injury than
fruit trees will

sound silage is in the least inferior to
that of cows fed ON other approved
feeds. Our best dairymen are using
silage largely, and the number is con.

Good Scavenger, but Lye, Glass.
Nails, ETC., Are Not Fit Food.
A benefit to be derived by the farmer
from raising hogs comes from their
eating waste products that would 9th.
erwise become Il nuisance. Kitchen
slops, the screenings from tanning
mills and the waste from thrashing
machines can all be utilized in the pic
yard, while the use of hogs in connec-
tion with beef production is frequently
regarded by feeders as the principal
source of profit.
If hogs are raised in connection with
dairying pork of the highest quality
may be produced. Dairy byproducts
(skim milk, buttermilk and whey
agree with hogs especially well. Skim
milk is especially valuable for pigs be
fore weaving and during the earlier
stages of feeding after they are wean-
ed. Its value with breeding stock is
also very great Whey is also valuable,
though not so much so as skim milk
1t should be fed carefully, for large
amounts given continuously will cause

Care must be taken in using hogs as
scavengers A good deal of stuff that
finds its way to the hog lot should &c
to the garbage bank. DeleteriOus sub
stances. such as lye, soap. glass, nails,
etc. are very frequently in city swim.

prove fatal when fed-G. NJ. Rommel.

ALL ARIZONA IS
 COMING THROUGH.
REPORTS OF CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY VARIOUS CITIES
 OF THIS TERRITORY.

There is no way of arriving at any think like the total of the Arizons contributions to San Francisco yet but a general reference can be made which shows that Arizona is fully do ing her part.
 Twenty-four hundred dollars was subscribed for the California general relief committee by Douglas. Bisbee's relief fund amounted to s6,000 a number of days ago and the subscriptions are still coming in.
 Yavapai county gave S3,000, and Prescott 1000, besides the general lists, and the societies. Maricopa county has given very close % S11, 900, and it is not all in yet.
 Tucson several days ago was drift ing around the s6,0O0 mark. Tomb stone had raised in the neighborhood of s1 900 when last heard from. Flag staff dug up about S350 the first day and there has been no report since.
 The last paper from Kingman an nounced the beginning of relief fund and the same news comes from wll- Hams. Presumably, Globe and Jerome are doing their full part, and all the smaller towns in proportion.
 In addition to these amounts, sev' eral counties have sent beef cattle and food supplies, as well as clothing Prescott alone donated three cars of fat cattle. which are by this time in San Francisco.
