How to Break a Cold

1t may be surprise to many to
learn that severe cold can be com

these symptoms it cOunteracts the eff

Good COlOrs For Houses.

1t Is not generally known-not
even among painters-why certain
tints and colors wear much better
than others on houses, and the
knowledge of just what tints are best
to use is, therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in recent
book, says that experiments seem TO
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays OF the
sun will protect house better than
those which allow these rays to pass
through the Aim.
Thus red is a good color because
it turns back, or reflects. the red
rays, and the red rays are the hot
rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are

the various tones these tints will
produce. will give vice range from

tue is claimed for tints in themselves.

HOW TO KEEP FRIENDS.

The other day lady forgot an en-
gagement to pour tea at friends after
noon at-home. The lady who was left
in the lurch managed as best she could,
but felt little incensed that a chair
of honor stood empty that many would
have been delighted to nil.
There were all the materials for a
breach of friendship particularly as the
lady who failed to appear was reported
as out walking OH the street. But being
a person not given to quick judgment,
the offended lady waited. In the early
morning came ring at the telephone,
at the other end of the wire woman
full of frankness and apology. What
excuse did she offer9 None--actually
none; but with honesty confessed that
she had forgotten the engagement ell
tirely, and told her distress, offered eager
apologies, begged the favor of drive
and in every way possible made amends
The result is that the two women are
dearer to each other than before, for
each feels she has discovered good quail
ties of friendship in the othcr.-Pitts-

To Get Rid of the Fly.

The writer of the essay tried mix

ing eleven pounds to thirty-fve cubic
feet of material. This was found eff
'fective. and it is recommended for
closed tanks, but not for places where
the poisonous solution could drain
away. Petroleum at the rate OF
about a quart to every eleven square
feet of surface was also tried, but
the effect was found not to be suf-
flciently lasting. Coal tar was found
to give better results. Raw petroleum
or raw schiet oil-the residue in dis
tillation-was found to give the best
results. About two quarts of this
mixed with water were used for every
square feet of surface. This forms
q stratum of oil in the drain or over
the surface OF the solid. which effec-
tually prevents the development of

ESCAPED DEATH BY MIRACLE.


Patrick Stewart, of West Philadel-
phia, lives to tell the story of how he
miraculously escaped death despite
the fact that he was buried beneath
twenty tons of dirt and stone from
$50 a. m. until II o'clock, when he
was rescued by group of laborers.
Stewart says that a man named
Michael Kennedy was preparing a
blast in quarry near Second street
and Wyoming avenue, and as he ig-
nited the dynamite fuse he warned
Stewart of his danger, but before he
could leave the place the explosion
took place, He was standing under
a high embankment and the concus-
sion loosened the mountain of dirt
and stone.
Fortunately Stewart fell into a
hole in the ground, and was first COW
cred with large stone which gave
him the opportunity to breathe, the
embankment of dirt covering him
luily three or four feet. The labor
ers who removed the dirt in double
quick time were surprised at not
nhdlng dead man, and hurried
stewart to the hospital. .-,Rhiladel.

everything she purchases. This is the

price.

economy, because, II servant be en-
