HOW TO BLOW NOSE.

Few People Do 1t Right, Says Doctor.
A crusade of education which aims
that common colds may become
uncommon within the next genera
tion," has been begun by prominent
physicians in New York, headed by
the venerable DR.. Abraham jacob,
professor in the College of Physic-
ians and Surgeons. Here is list of
the :" don ts' which the doctors say
will prevent the annual visitation OF
the proverbial spring cold:
Don't sit in drafty car on the
way home from a hard days work.
Stand up and move around.
Don't sleep in hot rooms.
Don't avoid the fresh air.
Don't stuff yourself at mealtime.
Overeating reduces your resistance.
Don't wear thin stockings. If
It were not for the thin stock ings
and thin-soled shoes worn by women,
the doctors would probably be bank
rupt.
Don't be afraid OF the cold water
bath.
Learn to blow your nose prop
erly. Not one person in thousand
does it right. 1t is very dangerous
to pinch ones nose hard and both
nOstrils at once. Particles of infec-
ton are likely to be blown into the
passages of the ear and cause earache.
Always blow one nostril at time.
Mothers who exposes the calves
OF their children's legs to cold by
making them wear silly garments
should never have had children.
Men catch cold by putting their
hands in their pockets and exposing
their wrists. The so-called chest pro-
tector chiefly benefits those who sell
them"

THE ten-year-Old daughter of an
artist attended her first church we'd
ding. and so filled with inspiration
was she that she Immediately began
to write a poem descriptive of the
event.
A few days afterward, when her
mother was entertaining friends, the
youthful prodigy asked permission to
read her poem before the guests.
And her mother humored her with
not a little secret pride.
Stanza by stanza the poem pro-
gressed until the young lady reached
the point where the description of
the bridesmaids was set forth. There
one of her couplets read thus:
"SOme had pug noses and some had Ro-
man,
And each wore blue ribbon about her
abdomen

of Berkeley, CAL, announces the dis
covery Of an edible fruit from the
climbing rose. He declares the
fruit will in course of time take the

has flavor like a pineapple, may be

VtneI DiStur rUanCeS IN inc bIue voi0.
There is mighty uproar in the
heavens" said Father Martin S.
Brennan, the noted western astron-
omer. few days ago, translating q
line from Shiller. The astronomer
priest of Saints Mary and Joseph
church has been perusing the firma-
nient lately and finds there remark
able synchronism OF omens. "Especi-
ally on the sum-" said Father Bren-
nan, is there o tumult and turmoil
which is awful. On Monday I saw
four sun spots sweeping across the
orb and at noon on Tuesday there
was a vast spot in the center of the
sun, yawning gulf sixty thousand
miles in diameter. A sun spot is
caused by q solar cyclone which
whirls across the face of the sun with
immense velocity. At least the ro-
tary energy of the wind becomes so
terrific that it explodes and hurls its
fragrants of incandescent gases for
hundreds OF thousands OF miles into
space.
Like a tree uprOoted in q tornado,
quantities Of soil cling to the roots
OF the cyclone. The hole made by
the convulsion is what we call sun
spot. The force exerted is shone by
the fact that the cavities are some-
times 100, 900 miles across"

before Christ, some little time ago.
The latest figures give the heighth
as a little over 451 feet and each side
is 755 feet wide at the base. Orig
lnally the Pyramid was covered with
polished granite slabs, but they were
removed and used for building ma
terial for the Mosques. 1t is hard
to get an idea of the immensity of
the great Pyramid, but when we
know it covers thirteen acres of
OF ground and that if it were hollow
81. Peters at Rome could be put in
side OF it, dome and all, then we can
begin to realize its magnitude. 1t
has been computed that the stones
would be sufficient to make a wall
one foot thick and four feet high
around France. The material from
which it was built was quarried on
the opposite side of Cairo, and why
it was brought SO far and set down
in desert spot like this, is more
than l can comprehend. as it would
have been easier to have built it
closer to the quarry ard on a more
commanding position and where the
