The music was furnished by Boy

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to catch a cold One does imprudent
things and next thing finds ones self

a horrible attack of grippe.
AS rule the simplest remedies for
cold are the surest. There is nothing
for carrying off the congestion like a
hot bath, hot drink and a good sweat.
Do this at night
Another efficacious method is to snuff
up warm salt water. But one must not
go out right after this or the cold will
be aggravated.
If 1t is a tight cold in the head rub
the bridge of the nose thoroughly with
vaseline at night. This simple remedy
sometimes works like a charm.
1t is of the utmost Importance during
cold to keep the system from becom-
ing clogged. The old, senseless maxim,
Feed a cold and starve fever is re-
sponsible for many bad compilations
and prolonged colds. The proper meth
cd is to eat very lightly and even par

Rub little camphorated cream on
the chapped lips and nose. If there are

This Is always a good excuse, because

There are ut present being produced In
New York alone twelve musical plays,
in which from 100 to 200 girls are en-
ployed in the chorus, and at the hippo
drome 400 or 500 girls and several hun
dred men find constant employment.
One reason of this stampede to the
footlights is that it means more money.
Few girls in shops earn more than SIC
a week, and the great majority earn
considerably less, while the homeliest
kind of a chorus girl commands at
least $15 a week. with costumes fur
nished. If she happens to be pretty
and is a good dancer, she earns at least
$50 or $25, and often more. From tho
writer's point Of view the shop work,
even with its low wages, is preferable
to the life of the chorus girl, which ia
anything but beer and skittles; but to
those who only see the glare of the foot
lights and hear the music of stage life,
the chorus opens up sort of perpetual
fairyland to their mental vision. De
spite the hard work and the hardsh1ps
which form part of the chorus girls
life, there is undoubtedly a fascination
in 1t and few that have once entered
upon it care to desert it for other work.

The Enrs OF Insects.

Simply because bee has no ears on
the sides of its head it is no sign what
ever that it Is wholly without some
sort of an auditory nerve. This is
proved by the fact that grasshoppers,
crickets, locusts and flies all have their
ears situated in queer places-under
the wings, on the middle of the body
and even on the sides of their legs.
The common house fly does its hearing
by means of some little rows of corpus
cles which are situated on the knobbed
threads which occupy the place which
are taken up by the hind wings Of 9TH
er species of insects. The garden slug
or shelless snail has its organs of hear
ing situated on each side of it's neck,
and the common grasshopper has them
on each of its broad, fat thighs. In
some Of the smaller insects they are
at the bases of the wings and IN others
on the bottom of the feet.-Seranton

WHY SILHOUETTE.
A Curious Bit of History Wrapped Up
in the Word.

in the Word.
The making Of silhodettes can hard
" be classed among the lost arts,
since there is so little art about
them The best of them represent the
human profile in a crude way, and
they were regarded as rather cheap
kind of pictures even in the days
when they were most popular. In
deed, the very word silhouette means
something poor and cheap and it had
its origin in a spirit of ridicule. 1t
is taken from Etienne de Silhouette.
who was a French cabinet minister
in the year 1859, when the treasury
of France was very low because of
costly wars with Britain and Prus-
STA and by the extravagances of he
government. When Etienne de Silhou-
cite became minister of finance he
set about making great reforms in
the public expenditures. He was, by
nature, very 'fclose" man, and he
went to such extremes in keeping
down the public expenses that he
brought great ridicule upon himself,
and finally anything that was cheap
and poor was referred to as la Sill
houette.
A very crude picture was popular
at that time 1t was made by tracing
the shadow or profile of face pro-
jected by the light of candle on
sheet of white paper and the out
line defined with pencil This was
such very poor and cheap sort of
picture that it was at once called a
silhouette in further derision of the
very saving French minister, and the
name has stuck" 1t is an instance
of the curious derivation of some
words in common use, and this un;
kind slur on man who was really
trying to introduce needed reforms in
the spending of the public money has
long been accepted as good and
proper word. Indeed. there is no 9TH
ed word used for pictures of this kind,
although there were such pictures
long before Monsieur Etienne de Sill
houette had his name attached to
them in SO embarrassing a way

BRITISH COAST LINE CHANGES.
How the Sea Cuts the Shore and Yet
Builds Out Canes.

Builds Out Capes.
While the action of the sea upon
the coast line of Great Britain may
not be more severe than it is in other
parts of the world, it attracts much
attention. The comparatively small
size of the British Isles makes such
changes more noticeable, perhaps,
than they would be on continents, and
it is not unlikely that they have been
hstudied more carefully in the United
Kingdom than in some other parts of
the world.
At the last meeting of the British
Association for the Advancement Of
Science two addresses on the subject
were delivered. The speakers showed
that the contour and size of the ISL
ands are now perceptibly different
from what they We're at the time of
Caesars invasion, in the year SIS B.
G. In many places at present the
coast is receding, the resistance to
the waves depending both on the ele-
walton and the material into which
borough Head, 80 to $50 feet in height,
are being destroyed at the rate of
a foot and half year In other
places, where the cliffs are lower
and made of glacial gravel, the an
nual recession amounts to as much
as three to five yards. Lowesboft
Ness (Suffolk), the most easterly
point in England, consisting of glacial
drift, receded LOO feet between 1854
and 1901-that is at the rate of 23.4
feet a year
There is also an outward building
of some of the wave-made forelands.
For example, Dungeness Point (Kent)
has advanced at rate of seven yards a
year between 1859 and 1874, according
to one authority. The records of the
Lighthouse Board show that the sea-
ward advance of this point was at
the rate of nine feet a year between
1892 and 1852 thirteen to fourteen
feet between 1850 and 1871, and eight
feet between 1871 and 1879 The light
house on this point has been shifted
seaward three times during the last
century. The great mass of shingle
deposited to form this point is indi-
Gated by the fact that at "a distance
of 100 yards from the shore, the water
is four fathoms in depth at low tide,
and at distance of $50 yards, fifteen
