. true for the colds of this season. Many
who caught cold in late September are
coughing still. In not a few cases Sc
we're bronchitises have developed and
conditions resembling influenza have
come as complications. This has been
particularly noted among sufferers be-
yond middle life.
Apparently, then, IL We are to judge
by the last few weeks, We are to have
after our cool summer one of these
changeable seasons in which respiratory
affections will be especially frequent.
Older folk will need particularly to be
careful of sources of infection such as
are found in crowds and in exposure
when there are sudden changes of tenn
perature unless special precautions are
taken to safeguard against them. With
out more care than usual in these mat
ters we may well have a continuance for
some time of that higher frequency OF
ailments of the respiratory tract that
have been so noticeable during the last
few weeks"
The Herald's advice is as applicable in
Washington as in New York, and the
wise person will govern him or herself
accordingly.

long trunks and feathery tops: but per-

holds the fruit. As the dates ripen these
husks and stalks change from yellow to
a glorious golden red. the same color as
the dates. The natives always gather
them before they are quite ripe. and
they gradually turn a much more sub
dued shade of brown. The smaller dates
are always the brighter color. while the
very large ones are a dark brown, with
much more pith inside. so probably there
are two kinds. 1t il a very picturesque
and queer sight to see the natives (prin-
cipally women and childrenD coming
through the groves with sheaves OF the
waste stalks on their heads. and they
take these home and use them as fuel or
litter for their cattle. The dates are
perhaps at their best in October, when
they are still on the trees; after that,

miles south OF Cairo, and which dates
from the earliest historic age until
the race OF the pyramid builders. has
proved to be exceedingly prolific In
antiquities. What has struck Prof.
Petrie is the extraordinary preserya,
